초록

We have used ITO/Alq$_3$/Al structure to study electrical conduction mechanism in organic light-emitting diodes. Current-voltage-luminance characteristics were measured at room temperature by varying the thickness of Alq$_3$ layer from 60 to 400mm. We were able to confirm that there are three different mechanisms depending on the applied voltage region; ohmic, space-charge-limited current, and trap-charge-limit-current mechanism. And the maximum luminous efficiency was obtained when the thickness of Alq$_3$ layer is 200nm.
