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.

Recently, Top emission organic light-emitting diode (TEOLED) has been attracted by their potential application for the development of flat panel display (FPD). We have fabricated the high luminance top emission organic-emitting diode (TEOLED) using dual cathode layer and three top emitting structure. These devices were characterized by electroluminescence (EL) and current density-voltage (J-V) measurements. After compared it with Au anode structure, luminance of the device using dual anode was better than using without Al device. Consequently, Al layers are very good candidates for a promising electron-injecting buffer layer for top emission light-emitting diode (TEOLED).

A new organic light emitting device(OLED) with two peak wavelength(blue and yellow) emission was fabricated using the selective doping in a single fluorescent host , and its electrical and optical characteristics were investigated. The fabricated device showed the luminance and efficiency of 1600 $Cd/m^2$ and 2.4 Im/W under the applied voltage of 10V, respectively. And its electroluminescent spectra had two peak wavelengths of 470nm and 560nm emitting bluish white light. The OLED with dual wavelength emission in this experiment is likely to be developed as a white OLED with simpler fluorescent system than conventional devices.

Current-voltage-luminance characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were measured in the temperature range of 10 K～300 K. Indium-tin-oxide (ITO) was used as an anode and aluminum as a cathode in the device. Organic of N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di(m-tolyl)-benzidine (TPD) was used for a hole transporting material, and tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (Alq$_3$) for an electron transporting material and emissive material. And copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), poly(3,4-ethylenedi oxythiophene);poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), and poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) were used for hole-injection buffer layers. From tile analysis of electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminesccnce (PL) spectra of the Alq$_3$, the EL spectrum is more greenish then that of PL. And the temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics were analyzed in the double and multilayer structure of OLEDS. Electrical conduction mechanism was explained in the region of high-electric and low-electric field. Temperature-dependent luminous efficiency and operating voltage were analyzed from the current-voltage- luminance characteristics of the OLEDS.

The white-light-emitting organic LED(OLED) with two-wavelength was fabricated using the DPVBi of blue emitting material and a series of orange color fluorescent dye(Rubrene) by vacuum evaporation processes. The basic structure of white-light-emitting OLED was ITO/NPB(150$\AA$)/DPVBi/Rubrene/BCP(100$\AA$)/Alq$_3$(150$\AA$)/Al(600$\AA$). We analyzed the fabricated device through the changes of the DPVBi and Rubrene layer's thickness. We obtained the white-light-emitting OLED with white color light and the CIE coordinate of the device was (0.29, 0.33) at applied voltage of 13V when the thickness of DPVBi layer was 210$\AA$ and the thickness of Rubrene layer was 180$\AA$. At a current of 100㎃/$\textrm{cm}^2$, the quantum efficiency was 0.35％ and at a voltage of 20V, it was 0.405％.

The impedance spectroscopy is one of the effective ways to understand the electrical properties of organic light emitting diodes. The frequency-dependant properties of small molecule based OLEDs have been studied. The equivalent circuit of single-layer device is composed of contact resistance ($R_c$), bulk resistance ($R_p$) and bulk capacitance ($C_p$). The equivalent circuit of double layer device is composed of two parallel circuits connected in series, each of which is a parallel resistor and a capacitor. We have fabricated a double layer device indium-rio-oxide (ITO, anode), N,NV -diphenyl- N,NV -bis(3-methylphenyI)-1,1V -diphenyl-4,4V-diamine (TPD, hole-transporting layer), tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3, emitting layer), and aluminum (AI, cathode) and two single layer devices ([TO/ Alq3/ AI, ITO/TPD/AI).

The Al:Au double-layer metal electrode for use in transparent, dual emission of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) was fabricated. The electrode of Al:Au metals with various thicknesses was deposited by the vacuum thermal evaporation technique. For Al thickness of 1 nm, a bottom luminance of $4880\;cd/m^2$ was observed at 8 V. Otherwise, top luminance of $2020\;cd/m^2$ were observed at 8 V. In addition, the threshold voltages of the electrodes were 2.2 V. It was forward that the inserting 1 nm Al between LiF and Au enhanced electron injection with tunneling effect.

We report on characteristics of specially designed inductively-coupled-plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) system for top-emitting organic light emitting diodes (TOLEDs). Using high-density plasma on the order of $10^{11}$ electrons/$cm^3$ generated by linear-type antennas connected in parallel and specially designed substrate cooling system, a 100 nm-thick transparent $SiN_{x}$ passivation layer was deposited on thin Mg-Ag cathode layer at substrate temperature below $50\;^{\circ}C$ without a noticeable plasma damage. In addition, substrate-mask chucking system equipped with a mechanical mask aligner enabled us to pattern the $SiN_x$ passivation layer without conventional lithography processes. Even at low substrate temperature, a $SiN_x$ passivation layer prepared by ICP-CVD shows a good moisture resistance and transparency of $5{\times}10^{-3}g/m^2/day$ and 92 %, respectively. This indicates that the ICP-CVD system is a promising methode to substitute conventional plasma enhanced CVD (PECVD) in thin film passivation process.

Electrical, optical, surface, and structural properties of amorphous indium-zinc-oxide (a-IZO) grown by box cathode sputtering (BCS) were compared with crystalline indium-tin-oxide (c-ITO) anode films grown by conventional DC sputtering (DCS). Although x-ray diffraction plot of BCS-grown IZO film shows amorphous structure, the optical and electrical properties of a-IZO is comparable to those of c-ITO film. In particular, BCS-grown IZO films shows very smooth surface without defects such as pin hole and cracks because most of the energy of the sputtered atoms was confined in high density plasma region in box cathode gun. Furthermore polymer organic light emitting diodes (POLED) with the a-IZO anode film shows better electrical properties than that of POLED with the c-ITO anode film due to high work function and smooth surface of a-IZO. This suggested that BCS-grown a-IZO film is promising anode materials substituting conventional c-ITO anode in OLED and flexible displays.

Built-in voltage in organic light-emitting diodes was studied using modulated photocurrent technique ambient conditions. A device was made with a structure of anode/$Alq_3$/cathode to study a built-in voltage. An ITO was used as an anode, and $Li_2O$/Al was used as a cathode. From the bias voltage-dependent photocurrent, built-in voltage of the device is determined. The applied bias voltage when the magnitude of modulated photocurrent is zero corresponds to a built-in voltage. Built-in voltage in the device is generated due to a difference of work function of the anode and cathode. It was found that for 0.5nm thick $Li_2O$ layer built-in voltage is the higher than the others. It indicates that a very thin alkaline metal compound $Li_2O$ lowers an electron barrier height.
