We have studied conduction mechanism that is interpreted in terms of space charge limited current (SCLC) region and tunneling region. The OLEDs are based on the molecular compounds, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD) as a hole transport, tris (8- hydroxyquinolinoline) aluminum(III) $(Alq_3)$ as an electron injection and transport and emitting later, copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and poly(vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as a buffer layer respectively. Al was used as cathode. We manufactured reference structure that has in ITO/TPD/$Alq_3$/Al. Buffer layer effects were compared to reference structure. And we have analyzed out luminance efficiency-voltage characteristics in ITO/Buffer layer/TPD/$Alq_3$/Al with buffer-layer materials.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were fabricated with the electron dominant complex, 4,7-diphenyl-1, 10-phenanthroline (Bphen) into the traditional electron transporting material of tris (S-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum $(Alq_3)$, neat $Alq_3$ and Bphen as electron-transporting layers (ETLs), respectively. Use of the Bphen material results in efficient electron injection and transport, allowing for high luminous efficiency devices. The devices with neat $Alq_3$(Device1), 1:1 mixed $Alq_3$ : Bphen(Device2), and Bphen(Device3) have efficiency of 15.3cd/A, 16.9cd/A, 20.9cd/A, respectively, at $20\;mA/cm^2$. The efficiency characteristic of device with Bphen is best, but the device that is satisfied high efficiency and stability at once is observed in Device2.

The C 1s photoelectron energy loss spectra of tris (8-hydroxy-quinoline) aluminum (Alq$_3$) and N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis (3-methyl phenyl)-1,1'-bi-phenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD) thin films have been investigated. Two major loss structures, namely the plasmon dominated loss lines and shake-up satellites, have been observed. The shake-up spectrum of the C 1s photoelectron line is directly related to the $\pi$-$\pi$$\^$*/ energy gap of the molecule which plays an important role in organic electroluminescent materials. The molecular orbitals of Alq$_3$ and TPD and their major components, quinolime and benzene, have been calculated with the AMI semi-empirical method. The amount of the plasma-dominated loss of Alq$_3$ and TPD, which has to do with the delocalization of electrons through the molecule, was about 24 eV, alike in both cases. The main peak of the C 1s shake-up spectrum of Alq$_3$ and TPD, however, was 5.2 eV and 6.8 eV respectively. It was found that the main shake-up peak reflects more the local $\pi$\longrightarrow$\pi$$\^$*/ transition of quinoline and benzene component rather than the excitation of the whole molecule of Alq$_3$ and TPD. The C 1s shake-up spectra, however, revealed some correlation with the optical energy gap of the organic eletroluminescent materials.

Temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes(OLEDs) were studied. The OLEDs were based on the molecular compounds, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-diphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD) as a hole transport and tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum($Alq_3$) as an electron transport and emissive material. The current-voltage characteristics were measured in the temperature range of 10[K] and 300[K]. A conduction mechanism in OLEDs was interpreted in terms of tunneling and trap-filled limited current.

Temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) were studied in a device structure of ITO/TPD/$Alq_3$/Al. The OLEDs were based on the molecular compounds, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-l,1'-diphenyl-4,4'-diamine(TPD) as a hole transport and tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum($Alq_3$) as an electron transport and emissive material. The current-voltage characteristics were measured in the temperature range of 10K and 300K. We analyzed an electrical conduction mechanism of the OLEDs using space-charge-limited current(SCLC) and Fowler-Nordheim tunneling.

Many organic materials have been synthesized and extended efforts have been made to obtain high performance electroluminescence(EL) devices, since the first report of the light-emitting diodes based on Alq3. BECCP[bis(3-N-ethylcarbazolyl)cyanoterephthalidene] is a new luminescent material having cyano as an electron acceptor part and carbazole moiety as an electron donor part. The BECCP material shows blue PL and EL spectra of the device at about 480nm and in the ITO/BECCP/Al device shows typical rectifying diode characteristics. We have introduced Alq3 between the electrode and BECCP, and obtained more intensive rectifying diode characteristics in forward and reverse bias.

To study encapsulation method for large-area organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), red emitting OLEDs were fabricated, on which $Alq_3$ as organic buffer layer and LiF and Al as inorganic protective layers were deposited to protect the damage of OLED by epoxy. And then the OLEDs were attached to flat glass by printing method using epoxy. The basic structure of OLED doped with rubrene of 1 vol.% as emitting layer is ITO(150 nm) / 2-TNATA(50 nm) / ${\alpha}$-NPD(30 nm) / $Alq_3$:Rubrene(30 nm) / $Alq_3$(30 nm) / LiF(0.7 nm) / Al(100 nm). In case of depositing $Alq_3$, LiF and Al and then attaching of flat glass onto OLED, current density, luminance, efficiency and driving voltage were not changed and lifetime was increased according to thickness of Al as inorganic protective layers. The lifetime of OLED/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al_4/glass structure was 139 hours increased by 15.8 times more than bare OLED of 8.8 hours and 1.6 times more than edge sealed OLED of 54.5 hours.

The Basic Device Structure is ITO/hole transfer layer, TPD(50nm)/red emitting layer, Alq3 doped with DCM2 or DCM2:rubrene(xnm)/electorn transfer layer, Alq3(50-xnm)/LiF(0.8nm)/Al(8nm) . The thickness of emitting layer(xnm) changed 5, 10, 20nm. we demonstrate red emitting OLED with dependent on the thickness and concentrators of Alq3 layer doped with DCM2 or co-doped with DCM2:ruberene. The Emission color and Brightness are changed with doping or co-doping condition, dopant concentarton. In the case of rubrene:DCM2 co-doped layer structure, the red color Purity and device efficiency is improved. The CIE index of rubrene co-doped OLED is x=0.67, y=0.31. By co-doping the Alq3 layer with DCM2, rubrene, EL efficiency improved from 0.38cd/A to 0.44cd/A in comparison whit DCM2 doped Alq3 layer.
