Solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have the advantages of low cost, fast fabrication, and large-area devices. However, most studies on solution-processed OLEDs have mainly focused on solution-processable hole transporting materials or emissive materials. Here, we report fully solution-processed green OLEDs including hole/electron transport layers and emissive layers. The electrical and optical properties of OLEDs based on solution-processed TPBi (2,2',2"-(1,3,5-Benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole)) as the electron transport layer were investigated with respect to the spin speed and the number of layers. The performance of OLEDs with solution-processed TPBi exhibits a power efficiency of 9.4 lm/W. We believe that the solution-processed electron transport layers can contribute to the development of efficient fully solution-processed multilayered OLEDs.

The research applied the processes of spin-coating and thermal-evaporating in proper order to deposit the hole transport material N,N'-Bis(naphthalen-1-yl)- N,N'-bis(phenyl)-benzidine (NPB) on the ITO substrate to make flexible organic light emitting diodes (FOLED) with double hole transport layer.

Theoretical simulations of spatial distribution of charge carriers and recombination rate, and J-V characteristics of the multi-layer organic light emitting diodes are carried out. Drift-diffusion current transport, field-dependent carrier mobility, exponential and Gaussian trap distribution, and Langevin recombination models are included in this computer model. The simulated results show good agreement with the experimental data confirming the validity of the physical models for organic light emitting diodes.

We have investigated current-voltage-luminance characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes based on TPD/Alq$_3$organics depending on the application of forward-backward bias voltage. Luminance-voltage characteristics and luminous efficiency were measured at the same time when the current-voltage characteristics were measured. We have observed that the current-voltage characteristics shows a reversible current maxima at low voltage, which is possibly not related to the emission from Alq$_3$. Current-voltage-luminance characteristics imply that the conduction luminance mechanism at low voltage is different from that of high voltage one.

We have used ITO/Alq$_3$/Al structure to study electrical conduction mechanism in organic light-emitting diodes. Current-voltage-luminance characteristics were measured at room temperature by varying the thickness of Alq$_3$ layer from 60 to 400mm. We were able to confirm that there are three different mechanisms depending on the applied voltage region; ohmic, space-charge-limited current, and trap-charge-limit-current mechanism. And the maximum luminous efficiency was obtained when the thickness of Alq$_3$ layer is 200nm.

We have investigated current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes based on TPD/Alq$_3$ organics depending on the application of forward-reverse bias voltage. Luminance-voltage characteristics and luminous efficiency were measured at the same time when the I-V characteristics were measured. We have observed that the I-V characteristics shows a current mxima at low voltage, which is possibly not related to the emission from Alq$_3$.

Performance enhancement of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is investigated in a device structure of ITO/TPD/Alq₃/LiF/Al and ITO/TPD/Alq₃/BCP/LiF/Al. Here, bathocuproine (BCP) is used as an electron-transport layer. Current density-voltage-luminance characteristics of the OLEDs show that the performance of the device is better with BCP layer than without BCP layer. The current density, luminance, luminous efficiency, and external-quantum efficiency are improved by approximately 22%, 50%, 2%, and 18%, respectively. Since the BCP layer lowers the electron energy barrier, electron transport is facilitated and the movement of hole is blocked as the applied voltage increases. This results in an increased recombination rate of holes and electrons.

We have investigated equivalent-circuit analysis of organic light-emitting diodes in $ITO/TPD/Alq_3/Al$. Complex impedance Z of the device was measured in the frequency range of $40Hz{\sim}1MHz$. We are able to interpret the frequency-dependent response in terms of equivalent-circuit model of contact resistance $R_s$ in series with two parallel combination of $R_{TPD},\;C_{TPD}\;and\;R_{Alq3},\;C_{Alq3}$.

Efficient electron injection is essential to achieve bright and efficient organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In spite of high work function of Al, it is a common cathode because of its stability. In this paper, to overcome the poor electron injection in OLEDs with Al cathode, OLEDs with various composite cathodes were fabricated and investigated using a conventional OLEDs structure of indium tin oxide ITO/NPB(40 nm)/$Alq_3$(50 nm)/Al. composite cathodes were composed of alkaline materials such as Ca and Li, Al deposition or codeposited with AI. We showed best performance at the device with composite cathode (LiF/Al).

Controlling carrier transport in light emitting polymers is extremely important for their efficient use in organic opto-electronic devices [1]. Here we show that the interactions between single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and conjugated polymers can be used to modify the overall mobility of charge carriers within nanotube-polymer nanocomposites. By using a unique, double emitting-organic light emitting diodes (DE-OLEDs) structure. we have characterized the hole transport within electroluminescent nanocomposites (nanotubes in poly (m-phenylene vinylene-co-2,5-dioctoxy-p-phenylene) or PmPV). We have shown using this idea that single devices with color tunability can be fabricated. It is seen that SWNTs in PmPV are responsible for hole trapping, leading to shifts in the emission wavelengths. Our results could lead to improved organic optical amplifiers, semiconducting devices, and displays.
