Context
OLED fabrication requires multilayered structures that have mostly been obtained upon vacuum evaporation. Such process is not suitable for large-area devices at low costs and faces molecular reorientations leading to large performance loss. The current invention overcomes these limitations by offering an all-solution deposition process, yielding multi-stacked architectures of charge-transporting and light-emitting layers using photo-crosslinkable small fluorescent molecules. Successive cycles of wet deposition and photoirradiation can easily be performed to make the layer of interest insoluble with no risk of dissolving the previous ones. In this way, pixelized multicolor emissive structures can readily be achieved.
Technical description
The patent covers the synthesis of a family of small emissive molecules with high brightness in the solid-state, and amenable to form insoluble thin films of a high optical quality. These molecules comprise bulky and twisted structures to promote stable amorphous materials with no risk of crystallization, and photo-polymerizable acrylate- or oxetane-based units for photo-crosslinking at room temperature. Emissive layers are formed by spin-coating or ink-jet deposition and provide insoluble emissive patterns upon photoirradiation through the use odd masks at room temperature.
Development stage
OLEDs have been fabricated at the laboratory scale using a spin-coating or inkjet deposition process. Such process is compatible with any nature (plastics compatible with the employed solvent, glass) or geometry (flat, curved) of substrates and yields nanometer-thin films, structurally stable over years with no microcrystallite formation. .
Photo-crosslinked fluorescent organic nanoparticles serving as potential optical labels for bioimaging have been fabricated out of the series of molecules and photoirradiation process reported in the patent, and by resorting to microfluidic systems.
Benefits
This system combines a multifold of advantages:
Industrial applications
a) Schematic description for the fabrication of dual-color patterns from stacked photocrosslinked small fluorophores. B) Green and red emitting patterns using successive deposition and photoirradiation in the solid state of red and green small emitters endowed with photopolymerizable units (RMS roughness ~1.3 nm).
