Abstract

The green emitting high performance OLEDs using the $Alq_3$-C545T fluorescent system have been fabricated and characterized. In the device fabrication, 2-TNATA [4,4',4'-tris(2-naphthylphenyl-phenylamino)-triphenylamine] as a hole injection material and NPB [N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine] as a hole transport material were deposited on the ITO(indium thin oxide)/glass substrate by vacuum evaporation. And then, green color emission layer was deposited using $Alq_3$ as a host material and C-545T[10-(2-benzothiazolyl)-1,1,7,7- tetramethyl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H,5H,11H-[1]/benzopyrano[6,7,8-ij]-quinolizin-11-one] as a dopant. Finally, small molecule OLEDs with structure of ITO/2-TNATA/NPB/$Alq_3$:C545T/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al were obtained by in-situ deposition of $Alq_3$, LiF and Al as the electron transport material, electron injection material and cathode, respectively. Green OLEDs fabricated in our experiments showed the color coordinate of CIE(0.29, 0.65) and the maximum power efficiency of 7.3 lm/W at 12 V with the peak emission wavelength of 521 nm.

[ $Alq_3$ ]-C545T 형광 시스템을 이용하여 녹색 발광 고성능 OLED를 제작하고 그 특성을 평가하였다. 소자 제작에서 ITO(Indium Tin Oxide)/glass 위에 정공 주입층으로 2-TNATA [4,4',4'-tris(2-naphthyl-phenyl-phenylamino)-triphenylamine]를, 정공수송층으로 NPB [N,N-bis(1-naphthyl)- N,N'-diphenyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4-diamine]를 진공 증착하였다. 녹색 발광층으로는 $Ahq_3$를 호스트로, 545T [10-(2-benzo-thiazolyl)-1,1,7,7-tetramethyl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H,5H,11H-[1]/benzopyrano[6,7,8-ij]-quinolizin-11-one]를 도펀트로 사용하였다. 또한, 전자 수송층으로는 $Alq_3$를 전자 주입층으로는 LiF를 사용하여 ITO/2-TNATA/NPB/$Alq_3$:C-545T/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al 구조의 저분자 OLED를 제작하였다. 본 실험에서 제작된 녹색 OLED는 521 nm의 중심 발광 파장을 가지며, CIE(0.29, 0.65)의 색순도, 그리고 12V의 동작전압에서 7.3 lm/W의 최대 전력효율을 나타내었다.
