A series of efficient and bright double-layer light-emitting devices have been fabricated using the osmium (Os) complex as the triplet emissive dopant in both a blue-emitting polyfluorene derivative (PF-TPA-OXD) containing hole-transporting triphenylamine (TPA) and electron-transporting oxadiazole (OXD) as side chains and a blend of 2-(4-t-butylphenyl)-5(4-biphenylyl)-1,3,4-oxadizole (PBD) in poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK). Due to a balanced charge injection and transport in PF-TPA-OXD and very efficient energy transfer from this polymer to the Os complex, the resulting device (indium tin oxide/HTL/OsCF3:PF-TPA-OXD/Ca/Ag) reaches a maximum external quantum efficiency of 2.1% with a peak brightness of 2920 cd/m(2). These results are significantly higher than those obtained from the commonly used host, PVK:PBD (0.49% and 1270 cd/m(2)). (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
