내장 전압의 측정은 전기흡수 방법과 변조 광전류 분광학을 이용하는 방법이 있으며, 우리는 이 논문에서 변조 광전류 분광학을 사용하여 내장 전압을 측정하였다. 소자에 인가 전압이 영일 때 양극과 음극의 일 함수 차이 때문에 내장 전압이 존재하며, 그로 인해 내장 전기장이 생긴다. 유기 발광 소자의 광전도도는 엑시톤이 자유전자와 정공으로 분리들 때 발생한다. 이 때 발생되는 광전류와 광전류의 위상 변화를 측정하여 내장 전압을 추정한다. 소자의 구조는 두 전극 사이에 단층으로 하여 만들었으며 모든 소자의 $Alq_3$ 두께는 150nm로 하고, 양극은 ITO를 사용하였고 음극은 Al과 LiAl을 100nm 두께로 하였다. 내장 전압의 측정 결과 ITO/$Alq_3$/LiAl의 내장 전압은 0.9eV로 측정된 데 반해 ITO/$Alq_3$/LiAl은 1.6eV로 측정되었다. 따라서, LiAl을 사용한 소자의 경우 Al을 사용한 소자에 비해 내장 전압이 0.7eV 증가되었다. 이는 LiAl의 일함수가 Al보다 낮은 값을 갖는 것과 일치하는 결과이다. 이런 결과가 나온 까닭은 LiAl을 음극으로 사용한 경우에는 자유로운 $Li^+$이 발생하여 유기물에 더 좋은 전자주입이 되도록 하여 소자의 전자 장벽을 낮추었기 때문에 전자의 주입이 활발하여 광전류의 이동이 용이했음을 알 수 있다.

We synthesized new electroluminescence materials [(1,10-phenanthroline)(8-hydroxyquinoline)] Zn(phen)q and investigated their electron transport properties. We used Zn(phen)q and $Alq_3$ for the conductive materials and measured their electron transport properties as a function of the organic layer thickness. The difference between Zn(phen)q and $Alq_3$ as electron transporting materials suggests that the electrical properties depends on the carrier injection.

We have studied the temperature dependence of current-voltage and luminance-voltage characteristics of Organic Light Emitting Diodes(OLEDs). 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 transport, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as a buffer layer. The current-voltage and luminance-voltage characteristics were measured in the temperature range of 10[K] and 300[K]. A conduction mechanism in OLEDs has been interpreted in terms of space-charge-limited current(SCLC) and tunneling mechanism.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with the high efficieney and long lifetime are of growing interest in next-generation displays. Among the factors influencing OLEDs properties, one of unstable factor is $Alq_3$ cationic species caused by the excess holes resided in $Alq_3$ layer. Therefore, we suppressed the accumulation of excess holes by using the mixed-hole transporting layer (MHTL) of NPB and CBP in multilayer green OLEDs. The devices with MHTL showed improved characteristics in the luminous efficiency and lifetime. More characteristics and the carrier transport mechanism will be discussed.

We report the efficient red light-emitting diodes based on the fluorescent dye 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-i-propyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4H-pyran (DCJTI) and 5,6,11,12-tetraphenyl naphthacene (rubrene) codoped in the tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum $(Alq_3)$. Luminance efficiency of 2.2 cd/A with a Commission International De L'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinate of x, y = (0.640, 0:350) are achieved at the driving current density of $20\;mA/cm^2$. Adding the rubrene to the DCJTI in tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum $(Alq_3)$, the red color purity and luminance efficiency improved comparing to the DCJTI only doped devices because the rubrene molecules assist the polarization effect of DCJTI by molecular interaction and enhance the energy transfer from $(Alq_3)$ to DCJTI.

Highly efficient inverted bottom emission organic light emitting device (IBOLED) with a structure of ITO/EIL/Alq3/NPB/WO3/Al was investigated. To enhance electron injection from ITO cathode to Alq3 EML layer, we introduced ultra thin Al layer and Liq layer between ITO and Alq3. The device characteristics showed tune on voltage of 4.5V, the maximum luminance of 21100 Cd/m2 and current efficiencies of 3.56 Cd/A.

Organic thin film electroluminescene devices were fabricated using by molecularly doped method with N,N`-diphenyl-N,N`-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1`-biphenyl-4,4`-diamine(TPD) as a hole transport material, tris(8-quinolinolate) aluminium(III)(Alq3) as an emitting and electron transport agent, fluorescent squarylium(SQ) dye as a dopant, and poly(methylmethacrylate) as polymer materials. A cell structure of ITO/TPD-PMMA/Alq3-dopant/Mg was employed. The EL spectrum covers a wide range of the visible region and orange emission os observed. Two peaks at 520 and 660nm correspond to the emissions 620nm Alq3 and SQ dye, respectively.

The metal chelate complex of aluminum 8-hydroxyquinolines $(Alq_3)$ is an important electro-luminescent (EL) material used in fabricating organic light emitting (OLEDs). In this work, diodes / displays using in house synthesized $Alq_3$ and simple structure have been fabricated. It is demonstrated that luminance of $12460\;cd/m^2$ and efficiency of 3.1 cd/A are achievable in these fluorescent devices. Possible degradation effects are analyzed.

OLEDs are attractive because of possible application in display with low operating voltage, low power consumption, self-emission and capability of multicolor emission by the selection of emissive material. We investigated the effects of deposition rate on the electrical characteristics, physical characteristics and optical characteristics of OLEDs in the ITO(indium-tin-oxide)/N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methyphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine(TPD)/tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum($Alq_3$)/Al device. We measured current density, luminous flux and luminance characteristics of devices with varying deposition rates of TPD and $Alq_3$. It has been found that optimal deposition rate of TPD and $Alq_3$ were respectively $1.5{\AA}/s$ from the device structure. An AFM measurement results, surface roughness of the deposited film was the lowest when deposition rate was $1.5{\AA}/s$.

We prepared Organic LED with a two layer structure by vacuum evaporation. The diode consisted of hole transfer layer (thickness of 30, 50, 70 nm) and electron transfer layer (thickness of 70, 50, 30 nm) material, which was N, N'-diphenyl- N, N'-bis-(3-methyl phenyl)-1,1'-diphenyl-4,4'-diamine)(TPD) and tris(8-hydroxy quinoline) aluminum(Alq3), respectively. We investigated EL properties of the LED with various thickness and cathode electrode. The best results were obtained when thickness of the electron layer is equal to that of emission layer and when AlLi alloy was used as a cathode. The EL intensity, luminance and efficiency of organic LED with equal of layer thick were improved seven, three and two times, respectively. Alq3 was ionized by carrier injection from cathode and could produce exitons. After electron-hole pairs were formed by combination of the electrons and holes at the emission layer, Alq3 layer emitted light.
