We synthesized bis (2-methyl-8-quinolinolato)(triphenylsiloxy) aluminum (III) (SAlq), a blue-emitting material having a high luminous efficiency, through a homogeneous-phase reaction. The photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) spectra of SAlq show two peaks at 454 nm and 477 nm. Efficient white light-emitting devices are fabricated by doping SAlq with a red fluorescent dye of 4-dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-{2-(2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H,5H-benzo[i,j]quinolizin-8yl) vinyl}-4H-pyran (DCM2). The incomplete energy transfer from blue-emitting SAlq to red-emitting DCM2 results in light-emission of both blue and orange colors. Devices with the structure of ITO/TPD (50 nm)/SAlq:DCM2 (30 nm, 0.5 %)/$Alq_3$ (20 nm)/LiF (0.5 nmj/Al show EL peaks at 456 nm and 482 nm originating from SAlq and at 570 nm from DCM2, resulting in the Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of (0.32, 0.37). The device exhibits an external quantum efficiency of about 2.3 % and a luminous efficiency of about 2.41m/W at 100 $cd/m^2$. A maximum luminance of about 23,800 $cd/m^2$ is obtained at the bias voltage of 15 V.

The structure of organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) with typical heterostructure consists of anode, hole injection layer, hole transport layer, light-emitting layer, electron transport layer, electron injection layer, and cathode. 4,4bis[N-(1-napthyl)-N-phenyl-amino]-biphenyl(NPB) used as a hole transport layer and 4'4-bis(2,2'-diphenyl vinyl)-1,1'-biphenyl(DPVBi) used as a blue light emitting layer were graded-mixed at selected ratio. Interface at heterojunction between the hole transport layer and the elecrtron transport layer restricts carrier's transfer. Mixing of the hole transport layer and the emitting layer reduces abrupt interface between the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer. The operating voltage of OLED devices with graded mixed-layer structure is 2.8 V at 1 $cd/m^2$ which is significantly lower than that of OLED device with typical heterostructure. The luminance of OLED devices with graded mixed-layer structure is 21,000 $cd/m^2$ , which is much higher than that of OLED device with typical heterostructure. This indicates that the graded mixed-layer enhances the movement of carriers by reducing the discontinuity of highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO) of the interface between hole transport layer and emitting layer.

A series of statistical random copolymers of dioctylfluorene (DOF) and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) were synthesized by Ni (0) mediated polymerization and their light-emitting properties were compared with poly (9,9-di-n-octylfluorene) (PDOF). The synthesized polymers were characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, TGA, photoluminescence (PL) & electroluminescence (EL) spectroscopy and by conducting molecular weight studies. The resulting polymers were found to be thermally stable and readily soluble in organic solvents. The UV-visible absorption and PL emission spectra of the copolymers were gradually red-shifted as the fraction of EDOT in copolymers increased. Light-emitting devices were fabricated in an ITO (indium-tin oxide)/PEDOT/polymer/Ca/Al configuration. Interestingly, the EL spectra of these devices were similar to the PL spectra of the corresponding polymer film. However, the EL devices constructed from the copolymer showed more than 10 times higher efficiency level than the devices constructed from the PDOF homopolymer. This higher efficiency is possibly the result of better charge carrier balance in the copolymer systems due to the lower HOMO levels of the copolymers in comparison to that of PDOF homopolymer.

In this paper, multiheterostructure white organic light-emitting device was fabricated by vacuum evaporation. The structure of white organic light-emitting device is ITO/CuPc/TPD/DPBi:DPA/$Alq_3/Alq_3$:DCJTB/BCT/$Alq_3$/Ca/Al. Three primary colors are implemented with DPVBi, Alq$_3$and DCJTB. The maximum EL wavelength of the fabricated white organic light-emitting device is 647nm. And the CIE coordinate is (0.33, 0.33) at 13 V. In the fabrication of white organic light-emitting devices with DCJTB, $Alq_3$, DPVBi, the EL spectrum has two peaks at 492nm, 647nm. Two peaks appeared because the blue light is combined with green light. The maximum wavelength of red light is not changed with applied voltage. After voltage applied, for the first time, the electrons met the holes in the red emission layer and emitted red light. And then the electrons moved to the green emission layer, and blue emission layer continuously. Finally, when all of the emission layer activated, the white light is emitted.

Transparent In-doped zinc oxide (IZO) thin films are deposited with variation of pulsed DC power at Ar atmosphere on coming 7059 glass substrate by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering. A c-axis oriented IZO thin films were grown in perpendicular to the substrate. The optical transmittance spectra showed high transmittance of over 80% in the UV-visible region and exhibited the absorption edge of about 350 nm. Also, the IZO films exhibited the resistivity of ${\sim}10^{-3}{\Omega}\;cm$ and the mobility of ${\sim}6cm/V\;s$. Organic Light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with IZO/N,N'-diphenyl-N, N'-bis(3-methylphenl)-1, 1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD)/tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum ($Alq_3$)/LiF/Al configuration were fabricated. LiF layer inserted is used as an interfacial layer to increase the electron injection. Under a current density of $100\;mA/cm^2$, the OLEDs show an excellent efficiency (9.4 V turn-on voltage) and a good brightness ($12000\;cd/m^2$) of the emission light from the devices. These results indicate that IZO films hold promise for anode electrodes in the OLEDs application.

We have investigated organic light-emitting devices by doping phosphorescent orange and fluorescent blue emitters into the separate layers of single host. The electroluminescence spectra and current efficiency were strongly dependent on the location of each doped layers. The luminance-voltage (L-V) characteristics of the device2 (ITO/Hole Transport Layer/Orange Phosphorescent emissive layer/Blue Fluorescent emissive layer/Electron Transport Layer/liF/Al) showed the maximum current efficiency of 19.5 cd/A.

In this study, the white organic light emitting device was fabricated using ITO/a-NPD:DCM/a-NPD/BCP/Alq3/Al structure. Blue emission by a-NPD and orange emission by energy transfer between a-NPD and DCM embodied the white emission. The optimal structure of the white OLED is ITO/a-NPD:DCM(50$\square$)/a-NPD(150$\AA$)/BCP(100$\square$)/Alq$_3$(200$\square$)/Al. We varied the doping concentration of DCM properly and obtained high purity white emitting light. The CIE coordinate and maximum luminance of the devices was obtained (0.310, 0.333) and 400cd/$m^2$ at 11Volt.

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.
