We have fabricated and evaluated newNew high high-efficiency green green-light light-emitting phosphorescent devices with an emission layer of [$TCTA/TCTA_{1/3}TAZ_{2/3}/TAZ$] : $Ir(ppy)_3$ were fabricated and evaluated, and compared the electroluminescence characteristics of these devices were compared with the conventional phosphorescent devices with emission layers of ($TCTA_{1/3}TAZ_{2/3}$) : $Ir(ppy)_3$ and (TCTA/TAZ) : $Ir(ppy)_3$. The current density, luminance, and current efficiency of the a device with an emission layer of ($80{\AA}-TCTA/90^{\circ}{\AA}-TCTA_{1/3}TAZ_{2/3}/130{\AA}-TAZ$) : 10%-$Ir(ppy)_3$ were $95\;mA/cm^2$, $25000\;cd/m^2$, and 27 cd/A at an applied voltage of 10 V, respectively. The maximum current efficiency was 52 cd/A under the a luminance value of $400\;cd/m^2$. The peak wavelength and FWHM (FWHM (full width at half maximum) in the electroluminescence spectral were 513 nm and 65 nm, respectively. The color coordinate was (0.30, 0.62) on the CIE (Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage) chart. Under the a luminance of $15000\;cd/m^2$, the current efficiency of the a device with an emission layer of ($80{\AA}-TCTA/90{\AA}-TCTA_{1/3}TAZ_{2/3}/130{\AA}-TAZ$) : 10%-$Ir(ppy)_3$ was 34 cd/A, which has beenshowed an improvement of improved 1.7 and 1.4 times compared to those of the devices with emission layers of ($300{\AA}-TCTA_{1/3}TAZ_{2/3}$) : 10%-$Ir(ppy)_3$ and ($100{\AA}-TCTA/200{\AA}$-TAZ) : 10%-$Ir(ppy)_3$, respectively.

Single-layer polymer green electroluminescent devices were fabricated with novel material synthesis by using moleculely-dispersed TTA and NIDI into the polymer PC(B79) emitter layer doped with C6 fluorescent dye which has low operating voltage and high quantum efficiency. A EL cell structure of glass substrate/indium-tin-oxide/PC:TTA:NIDI:C6/Ca/Al was employed and compared with various low work function cathode electrodes Ca and Mg metals. By adjusting the concentration of the fluorescent dye C6, low turn-on voltage of 2.4V was obtained, maximum quantum efficiency of 0.52% at 0.08mole% has been improved by about a factor of ~50 times in comparison with the undoped cell. The PL and EL colors can't be turned by changing the concentration of the C6 dopant. PL emission peaking was obtained at 495nm and EL emission peaking at 520nm with FWHM ~70nm

As a new class of electroluminescent (EL) polymers, PPV-based polymers containing sulfone group in the main chain were synthesized through Witting polymerization reaction to control n-conjugation length and energy levels for predictable light emission and enhanced device performance. These EL polymers showed good solubility in common organic solvents and high thermal stability with initial decomposition temperature of ca. $400^{circ}$ and glass transition temperature around $200^{circ}C$ Emission colors were tuned from green to deep blue by reducing ${\pi}$-conjugated length between sulfone groups. It was also noted from the cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements and semiempirical calculations that sulfone group with high electron affinity effectively lowered HOMO-LUMO energy levels to enhance EL device performance.

The effect of weak dielectric silicone dioxide($SiO_2$) embedded in polyfluorene(PFO) emitting layer of polymer-based multi structure OLED was investigated. Indium tin oxide(ITO)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/poly(9,9-di-n-octylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)(PFO)/2,2,2"-(1,3,5-benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole) (TPBi)/aluminum(Al) structure OLED was fabricated by spin-coating method. Applied electric field causes some effect on $SiO_2$ in PFO layer. Thus, interaction between polymers and affected $SiO_2$ might generate electrical and luminance properties change. Experimental results, show the reduced threshold voltage of 6 V(from 23 V to 17 V). The maximum current density was rather increased from $71A/m^2$ to $610A/m^2$ and maximum brightness was also increased from $7.19cd/m^2$ to $41.03cd/m^2$, 9 and 6 times each. Additionally we obtained colour broadening result due to the increasing of blue-green band emission. Consequently we observed that electrical and luminance properties are enhanced by adding $SiO_2$ and identified the possibility of controlling the emission colour of OLED device according to colour broadening.

Spiro-type orange phosphorescent host materials, 9-diphenylphosphine oxide-spiro[fluorene-7,9'-benzofluorene] (OPH-1P) and 5-diphenylphosphine oxide-spiro[fluorene-7,9'-benzofluorene] (OPH-2P) were successfully prepared by a lithiation reaction followed by a phosphination reaction with diphenylphosphinic chloride. The EL characteristics of OPH-1P and OPH-2P as orange host materials doped with iridium(III) bis(2-phenylquinoline)acetylacetonate ($Ir(pq)_2acac$) were evaluated. The electroluminescence spectra of the ITO (150 nm)/DNTPD (60 nm)/NPB (30 nm)/OPH-1P or OPH-2P: $Ir(pq)_2acac$ (30 nm)/BCP (5 nm)/$Alq_3$ (20 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (200 nm) devices show a narrow emission band with a full width at half maximum of 75 nm and $\lambda_{max}$ = 596 nm. The device obtained from OPH-1P doped with 3% $Ir(pq)_2acac$ showed an orange color purity of (0.580, 0.385) and an efficiency of (14 cd/A at 7.0 V). The ability of the OPH-P series to combine a high triple energy with a low operating voltage is attributed to the inductive effect of the P=O moieties and subsequent energy lowering of the LUMO, resulting in the enhancement of both the electron injection and transport in the device. The overall result is a device with an EQE > 8% at high brightness, but operating voltage of less than 6.4 V, as compared to the literature voltages of ~10 V.

In this research, we have synthesized new pendant-type polyurethane polymers by introducing various chromophores with stilbene derivatives in the side-chain of the polymer backbone. The Stilbene monomers, N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amino-4'-cyanostilbene, N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino-4'-methoxy stilbene, N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino-4'-acetylstilbene, and N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amino stilbene, were synthesized by Wittig reaction. Another stilbene monomer, N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino-4'-nitrostilbene, was synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation. By the measurement of UV-Vis absorption and Photoluminescence (PL) spectrum, we found that introduction of the electron-withdrawing group as a substituent shifts both UV-Vis and PL spectra to longer wavelength, and the introduction of the electron-donating group results in blue-shift of the spectrum. In case of polymer with $NO_2$ group as a substituent, PL is quenched.

$Ir(pmb)_{3}$(Iridium(III)Tri(1-phenyl-3-methylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene-$C,C^{2'}$ ) was synthesized to develop a deep blue-emitting Ir(III) complex. We suggested the ultrasonic reactor to enhance the poor reaction yield of $Ir(pmb)_{3}$. The ultrasonic wave enhanced the reaction yield of $Ir(pmb)_{3}$ because the ultrasound helped non-soluble reactants disperse efficiently and produced free radial during the reaction. The maximum yield of $Ir(pmb)_{3}$ was 42.5%, which was 4 times higher than conventional method. Organic light emitting devices were fabricated with the synthesized mer-$Ir(pmb)_{3}$ which emitted at 405 nm. A range of host materials with large bandgaps (UGH2, mCP and CBP) were tested for developing a deep blue emitting device. In case of the device with mCP as the host material, it emitted deep blue and performed quite well relative to the other host materials tested.

In this study, we demonstrated high-efficiency blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) employing BCzVBi as a blue fluorescent dye doped into blue host material, DPVBi with various concentration. The optimized blue OLED device having high-efficiency was constructed with structure of NPB (500 ${\AA}$) / DPVBi:BCzVBi-6% (150 ${\AA}$)/$Alq_3$(300 ${\AA}$) / Liq (20 ${\AA}$) / Al (1000 ${\AA}$). The maximum luminescence of blue OLED was 13200 cd/$m^2$ at 13.8 V and current density and maximum efficiency were 26.4 mA/$cm^2$ at 1000 cd/$m^2$ and 4.24 cd/A at 3.9 V, respectively. Luminous efficiency shows two times higher than comparing with non-doped BCzVBi blue OLED whereas $CIE_{x,y}$ coordinate was similar with bare DPVBi blue OLED such as (0.16, 0.19). Electroluminescence of BCzVBi-6% doped blue OLED has two major peaks at 445 nm and 470 nm whereas pure DPVBi's blue peak appears at 456 nm and it is happened through endothermic Forster energy transfer by molecule's vibration between LUMO of DPVBi as host material and LUMO of BCzVBi as dopant in device.

MWCNT(multi-wall carbon nanotube)-doped PEDOT:PSS(poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)), used as a HIL(hole injection layer) material in OLEDs(organic light emitting diodes), was spin-coated on to the ITO glass to form PEDOT:PSS-MWCNT nano composite thin film. Morphology and transparency characteristics of nano composite thin films with respect to the loading percent of MWCNT have been investigated using FT-IR, UV-Vis and SEM. Furthermore, ITO/PEDOT:PSS-MWCNT/NPD/$Alq_3$/Al devices were fabricated, and then J-V and L-V characteristics were investigated. Functional group-incorporated MWCNT was prepared by acid treatment and showed good dispersion property in PEDOT:PSS solution. PEDOT:PSS-MWCNT thin films possessed good transparency property. For multi-layered devices, it was shown that as the loading percent of MWCNT increased, the current density increased but the luminance dramatically decreased. It might be conclusively suggested that the enhanced charge mobility by MWCNT could increase the current density but the hole trapping property of MWCNT could dramatically decrease the hole mobility in the current devices.
