We have fabricated simple triple-layer blue-emitting phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) using different thicknesses (25 and 55 nm) of 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP) electron transport layers. 1,1-bis[4-bis (4-methylphenyl)- aminophenyllcyclohexane (TAPC), bis[(4,6-di-fluorophenyl)-pyridinate-$N,C^{2'}$]picolinate (FIrpic) and N,N' -dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzene (mCP) were used as hole transport, blue guest and host materials, respectively. The driving voltage, electroluminescence (EL) efficiency and emission characteristics of devices were investigated. The maximum EL efficiency was 20 cd/A in the device with 55 nm BCP layer, which efficiency was about 33% higher than the device with 25 nm BCP layer. The higher efficiency in the 55 nm BCP device resulted from the enhanced electron-hole balance. In the EL spectrum of blue phosphorescent OLED with BCP layer, the relative intensity between 470 and 500 nm peaks was related to the location of emission zone.

Recent significant development of organic electronics is worthy of notice for its practical application as well as fundamental understandings. Complementary-like logic circuit is a key factor to realize actual operating organic electronic devices since its advantages of low power dissipation, good noise margin and stable operations. In this reason, studies on ambipolar properties of organic materials which can act as either n-type or p-type are getting more attentions. Performances of ambipolar transistors vary a lot along its molecular structures and film properties. When properly fabricated, balanced hole and electron mobilities over 1 cm2/Vs were observed recently. Study of charge transport in ambipolar organic transistors to understand this high performance was carried out through charge modulation spectroscopy.

Highly efficient white phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes with a mixed-host structure are developed and the device characteristics are studied. The introduction of a hole-transport-type host (N, N'-dicarbazolyl-3-3-benzen (mCP)) into an electron-transport-type host (m-bis-(triphenylsilyl)benzene (UGH3)) as a mixed-host emissive layer effectively achieves higher current density and lower driving voltage. The peak external quantum and power efficiency with the mixed-host structure improve up to 18.9% and 40.9 lm/W, respectively. Moreover, this mixed-host structure device shows over 30% enhanced performance compared with a single-host structure device at a luminance of 10,000 $cd/m^2$ without any change in the electroluminescence spectra.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) and polymer light emitting diodes (PLED) have been regarded as the candidate for the next generation light source and flat panel display. Currently, the most common OLED industrial fabrication technology used in producing real products utilizes a fine shadow mask during the thermal evaporation of small molecule materials. However, due to high potential including low cost, easy process and scalability, various researches about solution process are progressed. Since polymer has some disadvantages such as short lifetime and difficulty of purifying, small molecule OLED (SMOLED) can be a good alternative. In this work, we have demonstrated high efficient solution-processed OLED with small molecule. We use CBP (4,4'-N,N'-dicarbazolebiphenyl) as a host doped with green dye (Ir(ppy)3 (fac-tris(2-phenyl pyridine) iridium)). PBD (2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole) and TPD (N,N'diphenyl-N,N'-Bis (3-methylphenyl)-[1,1-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine) are employed as an electron transport material and a hole transport material. And TPBi (2,2',2''-(1,3,5-phenylene) tris (1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole)) is used as an hole blocking layer for proper hole and electron balance. With adding evaporated TPBi layer, the current efficiency was very improved. Among various parameters, we observed the property of OLED device by changing the thickness of hole transporting layer and solvent which can dissolve organic material. We could make small molecule OLED device with finding proper conditions.

We report the first TTF compounds having columnar LC phase at room temperature. Based on the thermal, structural, and morphological observations, it was concluded that TTF derivative with long alkyl chains has highly ordered oblique columnar LC at room temperature. The new TTF derivatives have excellent oxidative stability which is desirable for a p-type (hole transport) materials.

Organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) are constructed using multilayer organic thin films. The hole-transport layer is PVK and the emitting material is rubrene and $Alq_3$. The emitting layer is doped with rubrene partially. As the partially-doped layer migrate from the interface PVK/emitting layer, the emission peak of rubrene decrease and diminish. By comparing with the previous reports, we propose the zero-field hole injection barrier at ITO/PVK interface and hole-trapping effect of rubrene in host materials as predominant factor to determine the emission zone.

Recent technical advances in OLEDs (organic light emitting devices) requires more and more the improvement in low operation voltage, long lifetime, and high luminance efficiency. Inverted top emission OLEDs (ITOLED) appeared to overcome these problems. This evolved to operate better luminance efficiency from conventional OLEDs. First, it has large open area so to be brighter than conventional OLEDs. Also easy integration is possible with Si-based driving circuits for active matrix OLED. But, a proper buffer layer for carrier injection is needed in order to get a good performance. The buffer layer protects underlying organic materials against destructive particles during the electrode deposition and improves their charge transport efficiency by reducing the charge injection barrier. Hexaazatriphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN), a discoid organic molecule, has been used successfully in tandem OLEDs due to its high workfunction more than 6.1 eV. And it has the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level near to Fermi level. So it plays like a strong electron acceptor. In this experiment, we measured energy level alignment and hole current density on inverted OLED structures for hole injection. The normal film structure of Al/NPB/ITO showed bad characteristics while the HAT-CN insertion between Al and NPB greatly improved hole current density. The behavior can be explained by charge generation at the HAT-CN/NPB interface and gap state formation at Al/HAT-CN interface, respectively. This result indicates that a proper organic buffer layer can be successfully utilized to enhance hole injection efficiency even with low work function Al anode.

High-efficiency phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes using TCTA-TAZ as a double host and $Ir(ppy)_3$ as a dopant were fabricated and their electro-luminescence properties were evaluated. The fabricated devices have the multi-layered organic structure of 2-TNATA/NPB/(TCTA-TAZ) : $Ir(ppy)_3$/BCP/SFC137 between an anode of ITO and a cathode of LiF/AL. In the device structure, 2-TNATA[4,4',4"-tris(2-naphthylphenyl-phenylamino)-triphenylamine] and NPB[N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine] were used as a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer, respectively. BCP [2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline] was introduced as a hole blocking layer and an electron transport layer, respectively. TCTA [4,4',4"-tris(N-carbazolyl)-triphenylamine] and TAZ [3-phenyl-4-(1-naphthyl)-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole] were sequentially deposited, forming a double host doped with $Ir(ppy)_3$ in the [TCTA-TAZ] : $Ir(ppy)_3$ region. Among devices with different thickness combinations of TCTA ($50\;{\AA}-200\;{\AA}$) and TAZ ($100\;{\AA}-250\;{\AA}$) within the confines of the total host thickness of $300\;{\AA}$ and an $Ir(ppy)_3$-doping concentration of 7%, the best electroluminescence characteristics were obtained in a device with $100\;{\AA}$-think TCTA and $200\;{\AA}$-thick TAZ. The $Ir(ppy)_3$ concentration in the doping range of 4%-10% in devices with an emissive layer of [TCTA ($100\;{\AA}$)-TAZ ($200\;{\AA}$)] : $Ir(ppy)_3$ gave rise to little difference in the luminance and current efficiency.

The photoluminescence and electroluminescence of poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVCz) containing different ratio 1.3,5-dimethly-3,5-di-tert-butyl-4,4-diphenoquinone (MBDQ), 1.3,5-diemthyl-3.5-di-tert-butyl-4,4-stylbenquinone (MBSQ) were characterized. As the contents of DQ and SQ increased, the intensity of peaks at 516 and 540nm increased in PL spectra. The results of TOF measurement were shown that the hole mobility of PVCz decreased as the ratio of DQ or SQ increased. On the other hand, the electron mobility of PVCz increased. Therefore Electron transport is more favorable than hole transport in these charge transfer complexes, due to the stronger localization of the holes. Evidence for better electron transport is the higher mobility of electrons in pure DQ or SQ compared to hole mobility in pure PVCz, and lower DQ or SQ concentration required for equivalent mobilities in the charge-transfer complexes.
