Today, interest in electroluminescent(EL) diodes has been increasing since vacuum-sublimed thin-film dioes exhibited high performance. And since the discovery of electroluminescence from aluminaqinone, which has uniform $\pi$-conjugated segment by Eastmann kodack,$^1$ lots of attentions have been concentrated on organic EL devices. However, they have disadvantage such as low mechanical intensity, thermic crystallization. (omitted)

Poly[4,4'(3,3')-biphenylenevinylene-alt-2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene-vinylene], 4,4'(3,3')-PBPMEH-PPV, and poly[4,4'(3,3')-biphenylenevinylene-alt-N-ethylhexyl-3,6-carbazolevinylene], 4,4'(3,3')-PBPCAR-PPV, of varying effective conjugation lengths, were synthesized by the well-known Wittig condensation polymerization between the appropriate biphenyl diphosphonium salts and dialdehyde monomers such as carbazole or dialkoxyphenyl dialdehyde. The conjugation lengths of the polymers were controlled by biphenyl linkages (4,4' or 3,3'). The resulting polymers were highly soluble in common organic solvents and exhibited good thermal stability up to $300^{\circ}C$. The synthesized polymers showed UV-visible absorbance and photoluminescence (PL) in the ranges of 314-400 nm and 430-507 nm, respectively. Carbazole and 3,3'-biphenyl containing 3,3'-PBPCAR-PPV showed a blue PL peak at 430 nm. A single-layer light-emitting diode was fabricated in a configuration of ITO/polymer/Al. Electroluminescence (EL) emission of 3,3'-PBPCAR-PPV was shown at 455 nm.

A new terphenylenevinylene carbazylenevinylene alternating copolymer with the advantage of poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV), poly(p-phenylene )(PPP) and poly(carbazole) was designed, synthesized and characterized. The polymer structure was confirmed by various spectroscopic analyses and the number average molecular weight ($M_n$) of the obtained polymer was 7,800. The resulting polymer was thermally stable with high glass transition temperature ($T_g$) ($150^{\circ}C$), and was readily soluble in common organic solvents. Cyclic voltammetry study revealed that the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of the polymer were 5.37 and 2.47 eV, respectively. The ITO/PEDOT/polymer/AI device fabricated from the polymer emitted bright sky blue light with a maximum peak of around 478 nm. The device showed the maximum brightness of 1,200 nW with a turn-on voltage of 7V.

A new light-emitting poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) derivative containing a polyhedral oligomeric silsequioxane (POSS-PPV) and its MEH-PPV copolymers, [Poly(POSSPV-co-MEHPV)]s, have been synthesized through the Gilch polymerization, and their light-emitting properties were investigated. The synthesized polymers were characterized by NMR, GPC, thermogravimetric and elemental analysis. The POSS-PPV and copolymers showed almost the same optical properties as the MEH-PPV, regardless of copolymer composition. The POSS-PPV and MEHPPV all showed their peak absorption at 505 and 496nm, and PL emission maxima at 578 and 581nm. POSSPPV showed higher PL quantum efficiency than the MEH-PPV. Synthesis, characterization and electroluminescent properties of the polymers will be presented.

We studied the optoelectronic properties of hybrid solar cells formed by mixing cadmium sulfide [CdS] nanorods with a conjugated polymer, poly-2-methoxy, 5-[2'-ethy[hexyloxy]-1,4-p-phenylenevinylene[MEH-PPV]. CdS nanorods were grown vertically on Ti substrates by electrochemical deposition through a porous alumina template. Absorption spectrum of the composite layer was the same as the superposition of the absorption spectrum of each individual layer. The photoluminescence signal from MEH-PPV film was reduced as a result of the mixing. The energy conversion efficiency of MEH-PPV improved from $0.0012\%$ to about $0.60\%$ when combined with the vertically aligned CdS nanorods.

A new class of soluble PPV derivatives containing dimethyldodecylsilylphenyl unit as a pendant was synthesized by Gilch polymerization method. The resulting electroluminescent (EL) polymers showed good solubility, good film-forming ability onto the ITO substrate, and exhibited an amorphous morphology due to dimethyldodecylsilylphenyl branched group linked to the polymer backbone. The weight average molecular weights and polydispersities of the present EL polymers were in the range of 8.0-80.0 x $10^{4}$ and 2.67-7.80, respectively. The resulting EL polymers revealed a high thermal stability of up to $355-410^{\circ}C$. Their glass transition temperatures were in the range of $104-251^{\circ}C$. The emission colors could be tuned from green to orange-red colors by changing the MEH-PPV contents in copolymer systems. The turn-on voltages of the EL polymers were in the range of 1.8-4.0 V.

1963년 Pope 등에 의해 anthracene 단결정에서 전기 발광(Electroluminescence, EL)이 처음 발견되었지만 실용성의 문제로 크게 각광을 받지는 못했다. 그후로 진공 증착 방법이 고안되고, 1987년 Tang 등에 의해 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminium(Alq$_3$)이라는 색소를 승화시켜 발광층으로 하는 박막 형태의 소자가 개발되면서 유기물로 만들어진 발광다이오드(LED)에 대한 연구가 활발해 졌다. 또한, 1990년 영국의 케임브리지 대학에서 공액고분자인 poly(p-phenylenevinylene)(PPV)를 이용해서 만든 LED가 개발된 이후, 고분자 LED에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어오고 있다. $^{(1)}$ (중략)

Admittance Spectroscopic analysis was applied to study the effect of LiF buffer layer and to model the equivalent circuit for poly(2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (MEH-PPV)-based polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) with the LiF cathode buffer layer. The single layer device with ITO/MEH-PPV/Al structure can be modeled as a simple parallel combination of resistor and capacitor. Insertion of a LiF layer at the Al/MEH-PPV interface shifts the highest occupied molecular orbital level and the vacuum level of the MEH-PPV layer as a result the barrier height for electron injection at the Al/MEH-PPV interface is reduced. The admittance spectroscopy measurement of the devices with the LiF cathode buffer layer shows reduction in contact resistance ($R_c$), parallel resistance ($R_p$) and increment in parallel capacitance ($C_p$).

유기발광소자는 고휘도, 넓은 시야각, 빠른 응답속도, 높은 색재현성, 좋은 유연성의 소자특성 때문에 디스플레이 제품에 많이 응용되고 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 최근에 저소비전력, 고휘도, 소형화 및 장수명의 장점을 가진 유기발광소자의 상용화가 진행되면서 차세대 디스플레이소자로서 관심을 끌게 되었다. 고분자 유기발광소자는 저분자 유기발광소자에 비해 용액 공정법으로 박막을 형성할 수 있어 제조 비용이 적게 들며 대면적 디스플레이를 제작하는데 유리하기 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 고분자 유기발광소자에서 저전력 소자를 위한 저전압 구동 및 전력 효율을 향상시키기 위한 연구는 대단히 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 고분자 유기발광소자의 구동 전압을 낮추기 위해서 그래핀 정공 주입층을 삽입한 고분자 유기발광소자를 화학적 진공 증착법과 용액 공정을 사용하여 제작하였다. 그래핀 정공 주입층을 삽입한 고분자 유기발광소자는 Indium-tin-oxide(ITO) 투명 전극/그래핀 정공주입층/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS)/poly[2-methoxy, 5-(2'-ethyl-hexyloxy)-p-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) 층/lithium quinolate (Liq)/aluminium (Al) 전극의 구조를 가진다. 그래핀 정공주입층을 삽입한 고분자 유기발광소자에서 향상된 정공 주입능력을 통해 구동전압을 낮아지는 현상을 분석하기 위해서 전기적 및 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. 그래핀 정공주입층의 광학적 특성을 분석하기 위해서 빛의 투과도 측정을 한 결과 90% 이상의 값을 얻었다. 그래핀 정공 주입층이 소자에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 ITO/PEDOT:PSS소자와 ITO/그래핀 층/PEDOT:PSS 소자를 각각 제작하여 원자힘 현미경 측정을 하였다. 그래핀박막층을 삽입할 경우, 그래핀박막층을 삽입하지 않았을 때보다 표면 거칠기가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 산성을 띠는 PEDOT:PSS 용액이 ITO 투명 전극을 손상시키는 것을 방지하고, 표면 거칠기를 감소시켜 누설 전류를 낮출 수 있다는 사실을 보여준다. 또한, 그래핀 박막은 높은 전기 전도도를 가지기 때문에 그래핀 정공주입층을 삽입하였을 때, 높은 전류 밀도 및 발광 휘도와 더 낮은 구동 전압을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 ITO와 PEDOT:PSS의 계면에서의 전공의 주입 능력을 그래핀박막층이 향상시켜 저전압, 고효율 소자를 제작할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

In this study, we have shown the power conversion efficiency of organic thin film photovoltaic devices utilizing a conjugated polymer/fullerene bulk-hetero junction structure. We use MDMO-PPV(Poly[2-methoxy-5-(3,7-dimethyloctyloxy -1,4-phenylenevinylene) as an electron donor, PCBM([6,6]-Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester) as an electron accepter, and PEDOT:PSS used as a HTL(Hole Transport Layer). We have fabricated OPV(Organic Photovoltaic) devices as a function of the MDMO-PPV/PCBM concentration from 1:1 to 1:5. The electrical characteristics of the fabricated devices were investigated by means of I-V, P-V, F·F(Fill Factor) and PCE(power conversion efficiency). The power conversion efficiency was gradually increased until 1:4 ratio, also the highest efficiency of 0.4996% was obtained at the ratio.
