High efficiency electrophosphorescent red organic light-emitting devices with double-emission layers (DELs) have been fabricated with a changing of the hole blocking layer. Bis(1-(phenyl)isoquinoline) iridium (III) acetylanetonate [Ir(piq)(2)(acac)] as the red emitting dopant is doped into both 4,4 '-bis(N-carbazolyl)biphenyl (CBP) host and hole blocking layers. The DELs devices show significantly improved efficiency compared to the conventional devices with a single emitting layer. The maximum power efficiency of 4.05 lm/W at 5 V, which is about 25% greater than that of the device with a single emitting layer, is obtained in a device with 2,2 ',2 ''-(1,3,5-phenyl-ene) tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole) (TPBI) as hole blocking layer. We attribute it to the excitons-collected effect of the doped TPBI layer and the excellent electron transport performance of TPBI. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
