We studied white organic light-emitting diodes using blue fluorescent and red phosphorescent materials. White single OLEDs were fabricated using SH-1 : BD-2 (3 vol.%) and CBP : $Ir(mphmq)_2(acac)$ (2 vol.%) as emitting layer (EML). The white single OLED using SH-1 : BD-2 (3 vol.% 8 nm) / CBP : $Ir(mphmq)_2(acac)$ (2 vol.% 22 nm) as emitting layer showed maximum current efficiency of 8.8 cd/A, Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.403, 0.351) at $1,000cd/m^2$, and variation of CIE coordinates with ($0.402{\pm}0.012$, $0.35{\pm}0.002$) from 500 to $3,000cd/m^2$. The white tandem OLED using SH-1 : BD-2 (3 vol.% 12 nm) / CBP : $Ir(mphmq)_2(acac)$ (2 vol.% 18 nm) showed maximum efficiency of 19.6 cd/A, CIE coordinates of (0.354, 0.365) at $1,000cd/m^2$, and variation of CIE coordinates with ($0.356{\pm}0.016$, $0.364{\pm}0.002$) from 500 to $3,000cd/m^2$. Maximum current efficiency of the white tandem OLED was more twice as high as the single OLED. Our findings suggest that tandem OLED was possible to produce improved efficiency and excellent color stability.

Organic electroluminescent devices are light-emitting diodes in which the active materials consist entirely of organic materials. Recently, many fluorescent organic materials have been reported and the study on synthesis and application of new organic light-emitting materials has been demanded. This paper reports the optical and electrical characteristics of OLEDs using novel polymers containing biphenyl structure. First, Optical properties of novel light-emitting biphenyl derivatives doped with poly(9-vinyl carbazole)(PVK) and emitted blue, bluish green color, which is attributed to the overlap area between PL spectrum of host(PVK) and absorption spectra of guests(polymer). This is correspondent with F$\"{o}$rster energy transfer process in the blends. And, OLED devices were fabricated using poly (3,4-ethylenedioxy thiophene) (PEDOT) as a hole injection material and tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum ($Alq_3$) as an electron transporting material. EL devices fabricated as ITO/PEDOT/PVK doped with biphenyl derivatives/$Alq_3$/Li:Al and I-V-L chatacteristics and emitting efficiency of EL devices were examined. Finally, the drift mobility of PVK doped with biphenyl derivatives and $Alq_3$ were measured by TOF technique varying applied electric field. EL efficiency was increased as the ratio of hole mobility of PVK doped with biphenyl derivatives and electron mobility of $Alq_3$ was close to one.

Blue phosphorescent $(dfpypy)_2Ir(mppy)$, where dfpypy = 2',6'-difluoro-2,3'-bipyridine and mppy = 5-methyl-2-phenylpyridine, has been synthesized by newly developed effective method and its solid state structure and photoluminescent properties are investigated. The glass-transition and decomposition temperature of the compound appear at $160^{\circ}C$ and $360^{\circ}C$, respectively. In a crystal packing structure, there are two kinds of intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding ($C-H{\cdots}F$) and edge-to-face $C-H{\cdots}{\pi}(py)$ interaction. This compound emits bright blue phosphorescence with ${\lambda}_{max}=472nm$ and quantum efficiencies of 0.23 and 0.32 in fluid and the solid state. The emission band of the compound is red-shifted by 40 nm relative to homoleptic congener, $Ir(dfpypy)_3$. The ancillary ligand in $(dfpypy)_2Ir(mppy)$ has been found to significantly destabilize HOMO energy, compared to $Ir(dfpypy)_3$, $(dfpypy)_2Ir(acac)$ and $(dfpypy)_2Ir(dpm)$, without significantly changing LUMO energy.

White organic light emitting devices were fabricated to improve the stability through a structural change using the two peak emission method. The fabricated devices were composed of indium tin oxide (100 nm)/ $\alpha$-NPD (30 nm)/4,40-bis(2,20-diphenylvinyl)-1,10-biphenyl (DPVBi, d: variable)/DPVBi: Rubrene (40 nm)/2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline(5 nm)/ $Alq_3$(5 nm)/ Al (100 nm). A DPVBi for blue emissions was used as the host material in the emitters. The doping concentration of the Rubrene was fixed at 2.0% (by weight). The white emission with Commission Internationale De L'Eclairage coordinates of (0.3342, 0.3439) occurred at 14 V with a thickness d of 1 nm. It was insensitive to the drive voltage, and the devices had a maximum luminance of $211\;cd/cm^2$. At 19 V, the current density and maximum external quantum efficiency were $173\;mAcm^2$ and 0.478%, respectively.

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.

Organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) have received considerable attention since they were first reported by Tang. Novel organic fluorescent materials have been reported on synthesis and application of new organic light-emitting materials. Despite of much recent progress, fabrication of full-color OLEDs still remained to be done. Many method have been proposed to full-color OLEDs displays such as using separated red, green and blue emitters, stacking separate rad, green and blue emitter, using a white emitter with individually pattered color filters, microcavity structures and using a blue emitter with individually patterned fluorescent materials. The last method has much attention because of easy fabrication of OLEDs and low-priced fabrication. This paper reports the optical and electrical characteristics of OLEDs using novel molecules containing biphenyl structure. Optical properties of biphenyl derivatives doped with poly(9-vinyl carbazole)(PVK) are measured and found Forster energy transfer process in the blends. And devices were fabricated as ITO/PEDOT/PVK doped with biphenyl derivatives/$Alq_3$/Li:Al and I-V-L characteristics and EL efficiency of devices were examined.

Simple and high efficiency blue organic light-emitting diodes with three organic layers of N, N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis-[4-(phenyl-m-tolylamino)-phenyl]-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine[DNTPD]/1,1-bis-(di-4-polya-minophenyl)cyclohexane[TAPC]/electron transport material [ET-137] were fabricated and their electroluminescent characteristics were evaluated according to the TAPC thickness variation in a range of $50{\sim}300{\AA}$. Electroluminescence spectra of the devices with structure of DNTPD/TAPC/ET-137 showed all the same central emission wavelengths of 455 nm under an applied voltage of 7V, which were similar with that of the device with ET-137 only. On the other hand, the electroluminescence spectra of the device with structure of DNTPD/ET-137 without TAPC layer showed double emission peaks at the wavelengths of 455 nm and 561 nm under an applied voltage of 7V. In the devices with structure of DNTPD/TAPC/ET-137, single peak blue emission was not maintained in the device with $50{\AA}$-thick TAPC above 8V by the formation of exciplex. In the device with $300{\AA}$-thick TAPC, however, single peak blue emission was maintained until 10 V. According to the thickness increase of TAPC in the fabricated devices, the current density and luminance decreased, but the luminous efficiency and roll-off characteristics were improved.

We synthesized a spirobenzofluorene type phosphine oxide (SPPO2) as a new triplet host and an universal electron transport material for phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes(PHOLEDs). Red PHOLEDs with the SPPO2 host material showed a high quantum efficiency of 14.3 % with a current efficiency of 20.4 cd/A. In addition, the SPPO2 could be applied as an electron transport material which can be matched with any host material due to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of 2.4 eV. Electron injection from a cathode to the SPPO2 electron transport layer was better than common electron transport materials. In particular, the SPPO2 was effective as the electron transport material in blue PHOLEDs and the quantum efficiency was more than doubled and driving voltage was lowered by more than 3 V using the SPPO2 instead of common electron transport material.

Alkoxy-substituted poly(spirobifluorene)s and their copolymers with a triphenylamine derivative have been synthesized by Ni(0)-mediated polymerization. The polymers were well soluble in common organic solvents. Pure blue-light emissions without the long wavelength emission of poly(fluorene)s have been observed in the fluorescence spectra of polymer thin films. The light emitting diodes with a device configuration of ITO/PEDT:PSS(30 nm)/polymer(60 nm)/LiF(1 nm)/Al(100 nm) have been fabricated. The electroluminescence spectra showed the blue emissions without the long wavelength emission as observed in the fluorescence spectra. The relatively poor electroluminescence quantum yield of the homopolymer (0.017% @ 20 $mA/cm^{2}$) with color coordinates of (0.16, 0.07) has been improved by the introduction of triphenylamine moiety, and the copolymer with derivative exhibited an electroluminescence quantum yield of 0.15 % at 20 $mA/cm^{2}$ with color coordinates of (0.16, 0.08). Moreover, the introduction of polar side chains to the spirobifluorene moiety enhanced the device performance and led to the quantum yields of 0.6 to 0.7 % at 20 $mA/cm^{2}$, although there was some expense of color purities.
