We have investigated the effects of hole-injection buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes using copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), poly(vinylcarbazole)(PVK), and Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) in a device structure of $ITO/bufferr/TPD/Alq_3/Al$. Polymer PVK and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer were produced using the spin casting method where as the CuPc layer was produced using thermal evaporation. Current-voltage characteristics, luminance-voltage characteristics and efficiency of device were measured at room temperature at various a thickness of the buffer layer. We observed an improvement in the external quantum efficiency by a factor of two, four, and two and half when the CuPc, PVK, and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer were used, respectively. The enhancement of the efficiency is assumed to be attributed to the improved balance of holes and elelctrons resulting from the use of hole-injection buffer layer. The CuPc and PEDOT:PSS layer function as a hole-injection supporter and the PVK layer as a hole-blocking one.

고분자 발광다이오드(polymer light emitting diode, PLED)는 초박막화, 초경량화가 가능하며 간단한 용액공정 으로 향후 휨성(flexible) 디스플레이로의 응용이 가능할 것으로 기대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 녹색 고분자 유기 발광다이오드를 제작하고, 효율을 향상 시키고자 이중 발광층을 두어 전기 광학적 특성을 평가하였다. ITO/Glass기판 위에 정공주입층으로 PEDOT:PSS [poly(3,4-ethylenedio xythiophene):poly(styrene sulfolnate)]를 발광물질로는 형광 발광물질인 PVK(poly-vinylcarbazole)와 인광 발광 물질인 Ir(ppy)$_3$[tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium(III)]를 각각 host와 dopant로 사용하였다. 정공 차단층 및 전자 수송층 두 개의 역할로 사용 가능한 TPBI(1,3,5-tris(2-N-phenylbenzimidazolyl) benzene)를 진공 열증착법으로 막을 형성하였다. 전자주입층으로 LiF(lithium flouride)와 음극으로 Al(aluminum)을 증착하여 최종적으로 ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK:Ir(ppy)$_3$/TPBI/LiF/Al 구조를 갖는 녹색 형광:인광 혼합 유기 발광 다이오드를 제작하였다.

We fabricated organic electroluminescent (EL) devices with single layer of poly(3-dodeoylthiophene) (P3DoDT) hlended with different amounts of poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as a emitting layer. The molar ratio between P3DoDT and PVK changed with 1:0, 2:1 and 1:1. To improve the external quantum efficiency of EL devices, we applied insulating layer, LiF layer, between polymer emitting layer and Al electrode. All of the devices emit orange-red light and it's can be explained that the energy transfer occurs from PVK to P3DoDT. In the voltage-current and voltage-brightness characteristics of devices applied LiF layer, current and brightness increased with increasing applied voltage. The brightness of the device have a molar ratio 1:1 with LiF layer was about 10 times larger than that of the device without PVK at 6V. Electrical impedance properties of ITO/emitting layer/LiF/Al devices were investigated. In the Cole-Cole plots of impedance data, one semicircle was observed. Therefore, the equivalent circuit for the devices can be designed as a single parallel resistor and capacitor network with series resistor.

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.

유기물과 무기물이 결합한 나노 복합체를 사용하여 제작한 비휘발성 메모리 소자는 공정이 간단하고 저렴할 뿐만 아니라 휘어짐이 가능하다는 장점 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 코어-쉘 나노 입자를 포함한 고분자 박막으로 제작한 비휘발성 메모리 소자에서 쉘의 종류와 유무에 따른 메모리 윈도우와 기억시간에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 아주 적다. 본 연구에서는 CdTe-CdSe 코어-쉘 나노 입자 및 CdTe 나노 입자가 Poly(9-vinylcarbazol) (PVK) 박막에 분산되어 있는 나노복합체를 기억 매체로 사용하는 비휘발성 메모리 소자들을 제작하여 쉘의 유무에 따른 메모리 윈도우와 기억시간의 변화를 관찰하였다. 소자를 제작하기 위해 두 가지의 나노 입자를 각각 PVK와 함께 톨루엔에 용해시킨 후에 초음파 교반기를 사용하여 나노입자가 PVK가 고르게 섞인 두 가지의 나노복합체를 형성하였다. 두 가지 용액을 p-Si 기판위에 스핀 코팅 방법으로 도포한 후, 열을 가해 용매를 제거하여 CdTe-CdSe 나노 입자가 PVK에 분산되어 있는 나노복합체 박막과 CdTe 나노 입자가 PVK에 분산되어 있는 나노복합체 박막을 각각 형성하였다. 나노 입자가 분산된 각각의 나노복합체 박막 위에 Al을 게이트 전극으로서 열증착하여 소자를 완성하였다. 제작된 두 소자의 정전용량-전압 (C-V) 측정을 하여 CdSe의 유무에 따른 메모리 소자에 대한 C-V 곡선의 다른 평탄 전압 이동을 관찰 하였다. 정전용량-시간 측정을 하여 CdSe 쉘의 유무에 따라 포획된 전하를 유지하는 능력에 차이가 있는 것을 관찰하였다. 측정 결과 모두 CdSe 쉘이 존재하는 메모리 소자에서 우수한 메모리 윈도우와 기억시간 특성이 나타났다. 에너지 대역도를 사용하여 소자의 전하 수송 메커니즘과 CdSe 쉘의 존재에 의해 소자의 메모리 윈도우와 기억시간 특성이 향상되는 원인을 설명 할 것이다.

Organic EL devices, which have the sing3e-layer structure of ITO(indium-tin-oxide) /PPV(poly(p-phenylene vinylene))/cathode and the double-layer structure of ITO/PVK (poly(N- vinylcarbazole)) /PPV/cathode, were fabricated and their electro-optical properties were investigated. Experimental results, in single-layer structure, shown that the increment of temperature for thermal conversion of PPV film from $140^{\circ}C$ to $260^{\circ}C$ decreases the maximum luminance from $118.8\;cd/m^{2}$(20V) to $21.14\;cd/m^{2}$(28V) and shift the maximum peak of EL spectrum from 500nm to 580nm. The lower the work function of cathode is, the more the luminance and injection current of device. In double-layer structure, as the concentration of PVK solution decreases from 0.5 wt% to 0.05 wt%, the luminance of device increases from $70.71\;cd/m^{2}$(32V) to $152.7\;cd/m^{2}$(26V).

Silver nanoparticles were attached by chemical reduction after synthesizing a porous PVK-CTA complex. The PVK-CTA complex was synthesized by polymerizing N-vinylcarbazole in a CTA-chloroform solution using iron(III) chloride as an oxidizing agent and a honeycomb-pattern with uniformly formed macropores was formed by applying steam to the complex surface soaked with a volatile solvent under humid conditions. Using TTF as a reducing agent and PVP as a dispersant, silver nanoparticles were attached on the Honeycomb-pattern complex surface through chemical reduction. The formation of the complex was confirmed by FT-IR and UV-Vis spectrometry, and the degree of thermal decomposition of the complexes was analyzed after N-vinylcarbazole was polymerized by varying its concentration. The uniformity of the pores on the composite surface and the dispersibility of the attached silver nanoparticles were investigated by SEM. The dispersibility of the silver nanoparticles was also analyzed by varying the concentrations of reducing agent and dispersant and precursor.

We report the effect of surface morphology on the conductivity of the poly-N-vinylcarbazole (PVK)/silica gel ($SiO_2$) nanocomposites as a function of $SiO_2$ weight percentage (%).The polymerization of PVK was initiated by a free-radical polymerization. The surface morphology of the prepared composite shows the incorporation of $SiO_2$ in the prepared PVK-$SiO_2$ (PS) nanocomposites. The conductivity increased from $9.2{\times}10^{-5}S\;cm^{-1}$ to $9.6{\times}10^{-4}S\;cm^{-1}$ with the increase in the percentage of silica gel from 5 to 30%. The nanocomposites show a percolation behavior having a threshold value between 15 and 20%.

Electroluminescence(EL) devices based on organic thin layers have attracted lot of interests because of their application as display. One of the problems is red material. It offered a short life and poor emission efficiency to boot. In this study, this problem can be solved by using a multi-layer device structure. Organic electroluminescent devices which are composed of organic thin multi-layer films are fabricated. The basic structure is ITO / Emitting layer / LiP / Al EL device in which Hole transport/Electron blocking PVK layer was blending. We demonstrate the enhancement of eletroluminescence (EL) from blends of poly(3-hexylthiophene) in poly(N-vinylcarvazole). The emitting layer is consisted of a host material(PVK) and a guest emitting material(P3HT). It was showed higher EL intensity and their electro-optical properties were investigated.
