Abstract

We have fabricated organic light-emitting diodes using poly(N-vinylcarbazole)(PVK) doped with N,N'- diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-[l,l'-biphenyl]- 4,4/-diamine (TPD) as the hole transport layer. TPD molecules act as the trapping sites in PVK and reduce the hole mobility, which can enhance the electronhole balance in the emitting layer, resulting in the enhanced device performance. We have found the optimum ratio of TPD to PVK for the EL efficiency.
