Recently, Organic electroluminescent devices (OELDs) have been demonstrated the medium sized full color display with effective multi-layer thin films. In this study, the multi-layer OELDs were prepared on the patterened ITO (indium tin oxide)/glass substrates by the vacuum thermal evaporation method. The low molecule compounds such as $Alq_3$(trim-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum) and CTM (carrier transfer material) as the electron transport and injection layers as well as TPD (triphenyl-diamine) and CuPc (copper phthalocyanine) as the hole transport and injection layers were used. The luminance was rapidly increased above the threshold voltage of 10 V. The luminance and emission spectrum for the OELDs samples with $A1/CTM/Alq_3$/TPD/1TO structures were found to be 430 cd/$m^2$and 512 nm at 17 V showing green color emission. In contrast, the samples with $Li-A1/Alq_3$/TPD/CuPC/1TO multi-structures showed 508 nm in emission spectrum and 650 cd/$m^2$at 17 V in the luminance. The increment of luminance may be ascribed to the improved efficiency of recombination in the region of the emission layers by the deposition of CuPc as hole injection layer and the low work function of the Li-Al electrode compared to the Al electrode.

Oganic electroluminescent devices (OELD) with multilayer structures have been studied actively for the application to a flat-panel display. Netal-chelate complexes hrboxylate. These complexes were characterized by FT-IR, MS/FAB, $^1$H-NMR, UV-vis and photoluminescence (PL). More importantly, the electrochemical gap (Eg), electron affinity(EA) and ionization potential (IP) of these complex films were investigated. Data from cyclic voltammetry(CV) were compared with the bandgap obtained from UV-vis and discussed. Further studies on the EL of these new materials are now in progress.

The role of ZnS buffer layer not only suppresses chemical reactions between emission material and insulating material but also alters the luminescence and the crystallinity of the emission layer, if ZnS buffer layer was sandwiched between emission layer and insulating layer of electroluminescent device. In this research, we fabricated ZnS thin film with rf magnetron sputter system by varying rf power 100, 200W, substrate temperature 100, 150, 200, 250.deg. C and post-annealing temperature 200, 300, 400, 500.deg. C and analysed X-ray diffraction pattern, transmission spectra and cross section by SEM photograph for seeking the optimal crystallization condition of ZnS buffer layer. As a result, increasing the rf power, the crystallinity of ZnS thin film was improved. It was found that the ZnS thin film had better properties than anything else when fabricated with the following conditions ; rf power 200W, substrate temperature 150.deg. C, and post-annealing temperature 400.deg. C. ZnS thin film had the transmittance more than 80% in visible range. So it is suitable to use as a buffer layer of electroluminescent devices.

Conjugated polymers have attracted much scientific and technological research interest during the past few decades because of their potential use such as polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs).1,2 Particularly, lots of phenylene-based polymers such as polyfluorene and its derivatives have been synthesized because of their high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies and thermal stabilities. However, troublesome long wavelength emission in polymer film of polyfluorenes on heating during device formation or operation has been the crucial problem for practical applications. The source of the long wavelength emission was initially believed to be solely due to excimer emission as a result of polymer aggregation. It has also recently been correlated with emissions from ketonic defects in the fluorene units. Many efforts have been made to reduce the tendency to red-shifted emission. Here, we report for the first time the design and synthesis of novel 9,9-spiro bifluornene-based polymers containing heteroatoms such as N, S in its molecular skeleton. Especially, the 9,9-spiro bifluornene-based polymers containing N atom showed stable blue electroluminescence, which did not show spectral change upon thermal annealing.

We studied emitting properties of organic electroluminescent devices fabricated using the spin-coating and Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique. The LB technique has the advantage of precise control of the thickness better than spin-coating method. LB monolayer of poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) was deposited 27 layers onto the indium-tin-oxide(ITO) substrate as Y-type films by the vertical dipping method. In the absorption spectra, the λ$\_$max/ of P3HT-AA LB films and of spin-coating films showed about at 510, 545 and 590 nm corresponding to 2.43, 2.28, 2.10eV. And we observed that the turn-on voltage of devices deposited by LB method(10V) was higher than that of spin-coating method(8.5V) in voltage-current-luminance characteristic. In the logV-logJ characteristics of ITO/P3HT-AA LB/Al device, we confirmed that El device fabricated by LB method follows three conduction mechanisms: ohmic, space-charge-limited current(SCLC) conduction and trapped-carrier-limited space-charge current(TCLC) conduction.

유기전계발광소자(OELD)의 성능 향상을 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있지만 아직까지 금속전극과 유기발 광층 사이의 접촉저항(Contact Resistance)에 관한 연구는 거의 보고되지 않고 있다. Ohmic 접합에서 접촉 저항은 효율적이고 신뢰성 있는 소자제작에 있어서 간과되어서는 안될 매우 중요한 부분이다. 본 연구에서는 금속전극과 유기발광충 사이의 접촉저항에 관해서 논의하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제작된 샘플은 금속전극으로 Ag, 유기발광재료로서 Alq$_3$를 사용하였으며, Alq3의 두께를 100 $\AA$에서 500 $\AA$까지 각각 다르게 하여 서로 다른 두께의 유기발광층을 가지는 샘플을 제작하였다. 금속전극의 매트릭스 구조에 의해 형성된 적선의 크기는 3 mm x 2 mm이며, 제작된 샘플의 접촉비저항은 TLM(Transmission Line Measurement) 방법을 이용하여 구하였다. Planar한 TLM model로부터 새로운 vertical model을 유추하였으며, 이를 근거로 접촉저항 및 transfer length 등을 계산하였다. 상온에서 측정된 전체 저항값은 유기발광층의 두께가 증가함 에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 이 때 계산된 접촉비저항은 1.49$\times$$10^1$ $\Omega$-$\textrm{cm}^2$ 이다. 접촉저항은 전극 사이의 거리의 증가에 따라 증가하지만, 측정시간의 thermal budget의 영향으로 상대적으로 전체저항이 감 소하였으나, 저항감소분의 포화에 따라서, 거리에 비례하여 다시 저항이 증가하였다.

Electroluminescence is the light emission obtained by an electrical excitation energy passing through a phosphor under an applied high electrical field. EL are paid much attention on flat panel display as a backlight and indicator, which are divided into ACPRL(alternating-current powder electroluminescent) and ACTFEL(alternating-current powder electroluminescent). In this paper, Electric and emission properties on ACPEL are investigated based on ZnS:Cu phosphor. The basic structure on this is ITO glass/phosphor/insulator/ backelectrode, CR-M which has high efficiency on thermal properties and dielectric Properties was introduced and BaTiO$_3$ as a insulating layer in order to increase app1ied electric field on phosphor. Changing on Dielectric and emission Properties was caused by a different viscosity of binder which filled on space between phosphor particle. 60cd/$m^2$ under 60V, 2kHz sinusoidal was gotten from ACPELD prepared in this work.

Powder type electroluminescent device(P-ELD) in this study was prepared by printing method. P-ELDs were basically composed of phosphor, insulator and transparent conducting layer. The phosphor powder was prepared by sintering the mixture of ZnS as a host, Cu as an activator, and NaCl as a flux for co-activator and enhancement of growth of the phosphor particles. The phosphor layer was made by printing the paste of the cyanoethylpullan as a binder and the ZnS system phosphor powder. In order to evaluate the luminescence characteristics of ZnS P-ELD, applied voltage - luminance(V-L), frequency-luminance(f-L), and relative luminance spectra(L- .lambda.) characteristics were measured. The experimental results show that luminance increased with increasing the applied voltage and frequency. It can be explained in terms of the potential barrier formed between ZnS and CuS. Two emission peaks in luminance-wavelength spectra measured at applied voltage of 100 $V_{rms}$ were observed at 500nm as a primary peak and 460nm as a secondary peak, respectively.y.

The organic electroluminescene (EL) device has gathered much interested because of its potential in materials and simple device fabrication. We fabricated EL device which have a mixed single emitting layer containing N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine [TPD] and poly(3-hexylthiophene) [P3HT]. The molar ratio between P3HT and TPD chaged with 1:1, 3:1, 5:1, 3:2 and 5:2. EL intensity of ITO/P3HT+TPD/Mg:In devices is enhanced by addition of TPD into P3HT. This can be explained that the energy transfer occurs from TPD to P3HT. Recombination probability increases in emitting layer because that TPD as hole transport material plays a role more injection hole and Mg:In (3.7eV) electrode has low work function make easily electron injection. ITO/P3HT+TPD(5:2)/Mg:In devices emit orange-red light at 28V.
