We have fabricated single organic layer devices of the organolanthanide complex, terbium tris-(1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(tertiarybutyry)pyrazol-5-one)triphenylphosphine oxide [$(tb-PMP)_{3}Tb-(Ph_{3}PO)$] for the investigation of its light emission and electrical conduction properties. The thickness of ($(tb-PMP)_{3}Tb-(Ph_{3}PO)$) layer was varied to 60, 75, 95 nm. Mg and Ca layers were used for the cathode contact. The electrical conduction in the $(tb-PMP)_{3}Tb-(Ph_{3}PO)$ single layer devices was dominated by the injection of electrons into the organic layer from the cathode. A higher current density at much lower voltages can be attained with Ca cathode because of the enhanced electron injection. The device shows very sharp emission at 548 nm. The FWHM of the strongest emission peak was 12 nm.

ITO/4, 4', 4"-tris (N -3 - methylphenyl - N - phenyl - amino) - triphenylamine, [m-MTDATA] / Terbium Iris - (1 - phenyl - 3 - methyl - 4 - (tertiarybutyryl) - pyrazol - 5 - one) triphenylphosphine oxide [$(tb-PMP)_3Tb-(Ph_3PO)$] / Mg:Ag devices were made to investigate its electrical and light emission properties. The thickness of m-MTOATA layer was varied from 0 to 80 nm. There was a threshold thickness for the sufficient hole injection. The insertion of 20 nm thick m-MTDATA layer between ITO and Tb-complex resulted in the right shift of current-voltage curve because of the insufficient hole injection. The low operating voltage can be obtained above the 40 nm of m-MTDATA layer. The insertion of m-MTDATA induced the increase of the background in the electroluminescence spectrum which was dependent on the current density of the devices.

The electrical conduction mechanism of ITO / Terbium tris - (1 - phenyl - 3 - methyl - 4 - (tertiarybutyryl) - pyrazol - 5 - one) triphenylphosphine oxide [$(tb-PMP)_3Tb-(Ph_3PO)$]/Mg/Al devices has been investigated. The calculation of electric field in single layer organic layer between cathode and anode shows the uniform distribution for the electron injection barrier of over 1.4 eV. The measured current-voltage curve shows well matching with the calculated curve based on the tunneling injection of electron under the uniform distribution of electric field.
