Abstract

ABSTRACT Spontaneous orientation polarization (SOP) in vacuum‐deposited organic thin films can strongly influence internal electric fields, charge accumulation, and recombination in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). Here, 2,2′,2"‐(1,3,5‐Benzinetriyl)‐tris(1‐phenyl‐1‐H‐benzimidazole), 1,3,5‐Tris(1‐phenyl‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)benzene (TPBi)‐doped N,N′‐Di(1‐naphthyl)‐N,N′‐diphenyl‐(1,1′‐biphenyl)‐4,4′‐diamine (NPB) is investigated as a dipolar mixed hole‐transport layer for controlling accumulation‐related charge response in fluorescent blue OLEDs. Capacitance–voltage and capacitance–frequency measurements reveal that TPBi doping suppresses the low‐frequency accumulation response in the EML/interfacial region. Hole‐only device measurements show that TPBi reduces the hole mobility of the NPB‐based HTL, indicating that the suppressed accumulation response arises from combined dipolar‐field modification and hole‐transport suppression. Moderate TPBi doping improves charge balance and enhances the maximum current efficiency and external quantum efficiency to 16.28 cd A − 1 and 7.85%, respectively. However, lifetime measurements show that the improved initial efficiency is accompanied by faster luminance decay, highlighting an efficiency–stability trade‐off in the dipolar mixed HTL. Impedance and electric modulus spectroscopy further reveal bias‐dependent degradation‐related relaxation dynamics after electrical stressing. These findings show that TPBi‐doped NPB is an effective platform for tuning accumulation‐related charge response and recombination, while the SOP dopant concentration must be optimized to balance efficiency and operational stability.
