Fabrication and Characterization of OLED with Magnesium Complex of Benzimidazol-2-Yl Pyridine as Emission Layer

Abstract

A bright blue emission material, bis {(benzimidazol-2-yl) Pyridenato} magnesium (MgBIP) used for organic light emitting devices, has been synthesized. The decomposition temperature was observed at 517 °C and no melting transition (Tm) of MgBIP was observed up to 400 °C. For three-layer LED devices with the configuration of ITO/NPB/MgBIP/ Alq3/MgAg, the white light emission covering the whole visible region from 400 to 750 nm with the maximum brightness of 2770 cd/m2and current density of 304 mA/cm2was observed.
