초록

The characteristics of organic films can be affected by the temperature of evaporation source because the temperature of evaporation source has an effect on substrate temperature during OLED fabrication process using the thermal evaporation. To investigate the characteristics of OLED devices fabricated by using thermally damaged organic films, I-V-L and half life-time in OLED devices fabricated with various substrate temperatures were measured. During emission layer(EML) evaporation, OLED devices with a structure of ITO(100 nm)/ELM200(50 nm)/NPB(30 nm)/$Alq_3$(55 nm)/LiF(0.7 nm)/Al(100 nm) were fabricated at various substrate temperatures(room temperature, $30^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, and $50^{\circ}C$). The characteristics of current density and luminance versus applied voltage in OLED devices fabricated shows that many electrical currents flowed and high brightness appeared at low voltage, but that the lifetime of OLED devices dropped suddenly. This phenomenon explained that the crystallization of $Alq_3$ thin film appeared owing to the substrate heating during evaporation.
