We have studied the temperature dependence of current-voltage and luminance-voltage characteristics of Organic Light Emitting Diodes(OLEDs). The OLEDS are based on the molecular compounds, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD) as a hole transport, tris(8-hydroxyquinolinoline) aluminum(III) (Alq$_3$) as an electron transport, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as a buffer layer. The current-voltage and luminance-voltage characteristics were measured in the temperature range of 10[K] and 300[K]. A conduction mechanism in OLEDs has been interpreted in terms of space-charge-limited current(SCLC) and tunneling mechanism.

The performance of polymer photovoltaic cells based on blends of poly(3-hexylyhiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) is strongly influenced by blend composition and thickness. Polymer photovoltaic cells based on bulk-heterojunction have been fabricated with a structure of ITO/poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)-pentacene/poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)/Al. We have prepared PEDOT:PSS by dissolving pentacene in N-methylpyrrolidine (NMP) and mixing with PEDOT:PSS. Pentacene was added a maximum concentration of approximately 5.5mg to the PEDOT:PSS solution and sonicated for 10 min. Active layer (P3HT:PCBM) (1:1) was strongly influenced by PEDOT:PSS-pentacene. We have investigated the performance of photovoltaic device with different concentration of P3HT:PCBM (1:1) 2.0wt%, 2.2wt%, 2.4wt% and 2.6wt%, respectively. The photocurrent and power conversion efficiency (PCE) showed a maximum between 2.0wt% and 2.2wt% concentration of P3HT:PCBM. This implied that both morphology and electron transport properties of the layer influenced the performance of the present photovoltaic cells. As the concentration of P3HT:PCBM blends as an active layer was increased, the power conversion efficiency was decreased. P3HT:PCBM layer and PEDOT:PSS-pentacene layer were characterized by work function, UV-visible absorption, atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM).

In this study, we have investigated the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells utilizing conjugated polymer/fullerene bulk-hetero junction(BHJ) device structures. We have fabricated poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT), poly[2methoxy-5-(3',7'-dimethyloctyl-oxy)-1-4-phenylenevinylene] as an electron donor, [6,6]-phenyl $C_{61}$ butyric acid methylester(PCBM-$C_{61}$)as an electron acceptor, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS) used as a hole injection layer(HIL), after fabricated active layer, between active layer and metal cathode(Al) deposited LiF interlayer(5 nm). The properties of fabricated organic solar cell(OSC) devices have been analyzed as a function of different thickness. The electrical characteristics of the fabricated devices were investigated by means J-V, fill factor(FF) and power conversion efficiency(PCE). We observed the highest PCEs of 0.628%(MDMO-PPV:PCBM-$C_{61}$) and 2.3%(P3HT:PCBM-$C_{61}$) with LiF inter-layer at the highest thick active layer, which is 1.3times better than the device without LiF inter-layer.

Inkjet printing is commonly used in depositing the solution of functional materials on the specific locations of a substrate, and also it can provide easy and fast patterning of polymer films over a large area. Inkjet printing is applicable to fabricating an organic light emitting diode (OLED), since conducting materials used as emissive electroluminescent layers can be manufactured into inks for ink jetting. By using the inkjet technology, we have succeeded in patterning a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) layer and a poly[2-Methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) layer on the Indume tin oxide (ITO) patterned substrates, and fabricating organic light emitting diodes.

We have seen the effects of hole-injection buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes using copper phthalocyanine(CuPc), poly(vinylcarbazole)(PVK), and Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene-sulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS) in a device structure of ITO/buffer/TPD/$Alq_3$/Al. Polymer PVK and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer was made using spin casting method and the CuPc layer was made using thermal evaporation. Current-voltage characteristics, luminance-voltage characteristics and efficiency of device were measured at room temperature with a thickness variation of buffer layer. We have obtained an improvement of the external quantum efficiency by a factor of two, four, and two and half when the CuPc, PVK, and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer are used, respectively. The enhancement of the efficiency is attributed to the improved balance of holes and elelctrons due to the use of hole-injection buffer layer. The CuPc and PEDOT:PSS layer functions as a hole-injection supporter and the PVK layer as a hole-blocking one.

ITO(Indium tin oxide)glass 기판 위에 PEDOT:PSS[poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (styrene sulfonate)]와 PVX[poly(N-vinyl carbazole)] 고분자 물질을 정공 주입 및 수송층으로, 발광층으로 PFO-poss[Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) end capped with poss]를 사용하여 ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/PFO-poss/LiF/Al 구조의 고분자 발광다이오드를 제작하였다. 이때 스핀코팅을 위한 발광 유기재료의 농도와 열처리 온도가 소자의 전기적, 광학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 동일한 PFO-poss 농도에서 열처리 온도가 $100^{\circ}C$에서 $200^{\circ}C$로 증가할 경우 PLED 소자의 전류밀도와 휘도특성이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 1.0 wt% 농도를 갖는 PFO-poss 유기물 발광충을 $200^{\circ}C$ 온도로 열처리 할 경우 $958\;cd/m^{2}$의 최대 휘도를 나타내었으며 발광파장은 523 nm 녹색계통의 파장이 크게 증가하여 청백색에 가까운 발광을 나타내었다. PFO-poss 농도증가(0.5 wt%에서 1.0 wt%)와 함께 PLED 소자의 열처리 온도를 $100^{\circ}C$에서 $200^{\circ}C$로 증가할 경우 CIE 색좌표는 청색 (x, y : 0.17, 0.14)에서 청백색 (x, y = 0.29, 0.41)발광으로 천이하는 경향을 나타내었다.

We have studied conduction mechanism that is interpreted in terms of space charge limited current (SCLC) region and tunneling region. The OLEDs are based on the molecular compounds, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD) as a hole transport, tris (8- hydroxyquinolinoline) aluminum(III) $(Alq_3)$ as an electron injection and transport and emitting later, copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and poly(vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as a buffer layer respectively. Al was used as cathode. We manufactured reference structure that has in ITO/TPD/$Alq_3$/Al. Buffer layer effects were compared to reference structure. And we have analyzed out luminance efficiency-voltage characteristics in ITO/Buffer layer/TPD/$Alq_3$/Al with buffer-layer materials.

Various wt. ratios of indium were doped to the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styreneswulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) to enhance the conductivity and transmittance. The transmittance of the films increased with increasing the amount of indium. The field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) image of 2.54 wt. % of indium doped PEDOT:PSS film shows large number of aggregated indium particles. However, more than 2.54 wt. % of indium doped PEDOT:PSS films showed reduced aggregated indium particles. Moreover, 4.47 wt. % of indium doped PEDOT:PSS film showed no aggregated particles. The resistivity of pure PEDOT:PSS film showed $880k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. The resistivity of 1.03 wt. % indium doped film reduced approximately 26 times compared with pure PEDOT:PSS film. The resistivity of indium doped film further reduced with increasing the amount of indium, which showed approximately $0.55k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ for the PEDOT:PSS film doped 4.47 wt. % of indium.

Block copolymers with well-defined nanoscopic structures have recently gained much attention for their potential uses as functional nanostructures. Here, we show that nanoporous templates made from polystyrene-block-poly (methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) satisfy a novel design concept. At first, arrays of nanoscopic cylindrical microdomains oriented normal to the surface can easily be prepared. Then, we fabricated ultra high density arrays of conducting polymer as poly(pyrrole) (Ppy) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanowires with diameters of $25{\sim}40\;nm$ on the ITO glass by electropolymerization of the monomers inside nanoholes. These high density arrays of conducting polymer nanowires could be used as P-type materials for photovoltaic devices.

We report the performance improvement of electrochromic devices for modulating the transmittance contrast of long wavelength infrared light between 1.5 and 5.0 ${\mu}m$ based on a double layer of conducting polymers. The device, fabricated with poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) as the first and second layers, respectively, showed an transmittance contrast of 60% with a response rate under 5 s, which is greater than the transmittance contrast of cells based on only P3HT or PEDOT (approximately 40%).
