Vinyl copolymers (PCOn), containing pendant carbazole and aromatic 1,3,4-oxadiazole attached with dodecyloxy group, were prepared from their corresponding precursor poly(9-vinyl carbazole-co-4-vinylbenzyl chloride) (PCBn) by the Williamson condensation (n: mole% of 4-vinylbenzyl chloride). These copolymers were used as host materials for green phosphorescent light-emitting diodes after blending 4 wt % of Ir(ppy)₃. PL spectra of the PCOn films showed the formation of excimer or exciplex. The phosphorescent EL devices were fabricated with a configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/host copolymers:Ir(ppy)₃/BCP/Ca/Al. The PL and EL spectra of the blends [PCOn:Ir(ppy)₃] revealed dominant green emission at 517 nm attributed to Ir(ppy)₃ due to efficient energy transfer from the host to Ir(ppy)₃. Efficient green phosphorescent OLEDs was obtained when employing copolymer PCO16 as the host and Ir(ppy)₃ as the guest. The maximal luminance efficiency and the maximal luminance of this device were 17.9 cd/A and 19,903 cd/m², respectively. After doped with Ir(ppy)₃, the morphology of the films, both controlled PCO20 and PCO20 with attached dodecyloxy groups, were investigated by tapping-mode AFM and FE-SEM. The film of PCO20 exhibited uniform, featureless image and showed much better device performance than PCO20, which have been attributed to good compatibility of PCO20 with Ir(ppy)₃.
