ADVANCED MATERIALS: PREPARATION, STUDY AND OPTIMIZATION OF THIN FILM FOR OPTO-ELECTRONIC DEVICE
type: CreativeWork
description: The term “optoelectronic devices” is by now used for devices in which both electrons and photons are essential for their operation, as a natural evolution from the definitions of electronic devices that involved only electrons and holes in their operation and of photonic devices that involved only photons in their operation. One of the new lighting technologies which emerged within the past two decades and has the potential of becoming more energy-efficient then the existing light sources, is the Solid State Lighting technology of Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). In general, the basic OLED structure consists of a stack of fluorescent organic layers sandwiched between a transparent conducting anode and metallic cathode. When an appropriate current is applied to the device, holes are injected from the anode and electrons from the cathode; some of the recombination events between the holes and electrons result in electroluminescence (EL). The first part of this PhD Thesis surveyed different aspect in OLED technology that are currently under debate. In particular chapter 2 is devoted to the study, preparation and optimization of thin films between the organic hole transport layer and the anode surface while chapter 3 deals with the synthesis of trifluorene compound, with methoxy substituents, as possible UV-blue emitter. The second part of this PhD work is dedicated to the synthesis and study of new materials with interesting emissive and second order NLO properties. In particular pyrene based chromophores are investigated in chapter 4, while chapter 5 deals with the synthesis of organic-inorganic perylene-POSS hybrids with enhanced emissive properties.
