The highly integrated nature of polymer based organic light emitting diode (POLED) microdisplay technology, coupled with low voltage and low power electroluminescent light generation, combine to offer a very promising technology for use in portable and personal electronics products. We briefly describe the technology before discussing how to engineer the color gamut using whiteemitting polymer materials, microcavity device structure and color filter absorbance.

Four kinds of copolymers with fluorene and biphenylamine units were synthesized by palladium-catalyzed polycondensation reaction. These polymers were characterized in terms of their UV/Visible and photoluminescence (PL) properties in solution and film state. These polymers were also studied as a hole transporting material in the polymer light emitting diode (PLED) devices.

White phosphorescence polymer light emitting diodes (WPhPLEDs) with a glass/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PFO:$Ir(ppy)_3$:MDMO-PPV/TPBI/LiF/Al structure were fabricated to investigate the effects of $Ir(ppy)_3$ doping concentrations on the optical and electrical properties of the devices. PFO, $Ir(ppy)_3$ and MDMO-PPV conjugated polymers as host and guest materials in the emission layer were spin coated at various concentrations of $Ir(ppy)_3$ ranging from 0.0 to 20.0 vol.%. As the concentration of $Ir(ppy)_3$ increased from 5.0 to 20.0 vol.%, the luminance and current efficiency values of the devices decreased clearly, which are attributable to the quenching effect at a high doping concentration. The maximum luminance and current density were 2850 $cd/m^2$ and 741 $mA/cm^2$, respectively for a WPhPLED with an $Ir(ppy)_3$ concentration of 5.0 vol.%. The CIE color coordinates were about x=0.33 and y=0.34 at 11V, showing a good white color.

This paper introduces the use of a crown-shaped (CR) lens to effectively diffuse the light from a light-emitting diode (LED) without any loss in the light intensity, in contrast to polymer-bulb-type diffusers. The diffusion lens was designed based on the Snell's law, which describes the physical path of a ray passing through the boundary between different media. CR lenses were fabricated by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) casting and UV-embossing processes, which used a pre-designed metal mold and UV-curable resin, respectively. Through experiments and optical evaluations, it was verified that the newly proposed CR lens not only decreased the vertical light strength and glare effect from an LED light source but also improved the diffusion characteristics while maintaining the quality of the LED's light intensity.

A series of new light-emitting random copolymers with fully conjugated structure was prepared, for the first time through the well-known Gilch polymerization between 1,4-bis(chloromethyl)-2-ethylhexyloxy-5-methoxybenzene and 2,5-bis(bromomethyl)thiophene monomers in different ratios. The synthesized polymers (on thin film) showed the maximum wavelength of UV-visible absorbance and photoluminescence (PL) near 500 nm and near 600 nm, respectively. A single-layer light-emitting diode device, which has a simple ITO (indium-tin oxide)/polymer/Al configuration, was fabricated by spin-coating of polymers and then vacuum evaporation of Al metal. The threshold bias of PMEHPVTVs was in the range of 3.5-10 V. As in the PL spectra, the maximum wavelength of light emission near 600 nm was also shown in electroluminescence (EL) spectra of PMEHPVTVs when the operating voltage was about 7 - 14 V.

Three types of conjugated polymers, poly(PZ-Pi), poly(PZ-BPI) and poly(PZ-NPI) were synthesized by Schiff-base reaction. These new conjugated polymers exhibited improved solubility in common organic solvents due to the presence of alkyl side chains as well as azomethine groups, Double layer LEDs made with the synthesized polymers as emitting layer and $Alq_3$, as electron transporting layer exhibited enhanced EL emission and efficiency compared to those of single layer LEDs. Double layer LEDs exhibited gradual shift in the emission peak th the single layer LED, made of only $Alq_3$ as the emitting layer as the thickness of $Alq_3$ layer increased.

Organic semiconductors have received tremendous attention for their research because of their tunable electrical and optical properties that can be achieved by changing their molecular structure. However, organic materials are inherently unstable in the presence of oxygen and moisture. Therefore, it is necessary to develop moisture and air stable semiconducting materials that can replace conventional organic semiconductors. In this study, we developed a NiO_x thin film through a solution process. The electrical characteristics of the NiO_x thin film, depending on the thermal annealing temperature and UV-ozone treatment, were determined by applying them to the hole injection layer of an organic light-emitting diode. A high annealing temperature of 500 ℃ and UV-ozone treatment enhanced the conductivity of the NiO_x thin films. The optimized NiO_x exhibited beneficial hole injection properties comparable those of 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylene hexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN), a conventional organic hole injection layer. As a result, both devices exhibited similar power efficiencies and the comparable electroluminescent spectra. We believe that NiO_x could be a potential solution which can provide robustness to conventional organic semiconductors.

Novel carbazole based copolymers were synthesized by Suzuki coupling polymerization. (Diphenylene)vinylene and n-octyl was introduced to carbazole as pendants for reducing band gap and improving solubility, respectively. Thermal, photoluminescence and electro-luminescence of copolymers were studied for applying the emitting layer of polymer light emitting diode (PLED). Maximum UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) emission wavelength of copolymers showed 333~340 nm and 409~464 nm in solution state, respectively. The relative quantum yield using 9,10-diphenylanthracene as a reference was 25.8%. These copolymers exhibited high thermal stability ($T_d$ = $350^{\circ}C$) and good film forming ability. Good luminance was obtained at voltages lower than 8 V and the onset voltage was observed at 4.0 V.

We report on white light emission from a light emitting diode(LED) prepared by blending a red emitting copolymer, m-SiPh PPV-co-MEH PPV, and a blue emitting polyvinylcarbazole (PVK). White light emission was realized when the weight ratio of the m-SiPh PPV-co-MEH PPV : PVK equals to 1 : 30, in which the commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates were x=0.3266 and y=0.3438.

The yellow base polymer light emitting diodes(PLEDs) with double emission and hole blocking layers were prepared to improve the light efficiency. ITO(indium tin oxide) and PEDOT : PSS[poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly(styrene sulfolnate)] were used as cathode and hole transport materials. The PFO[poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene)] and MEH-PPV[poly(2-methoxy-5(2-ethylhe xoxy)-1,4-phenylenevinyle)] were used as the light emitting host and guest materials, respectively. TPBI[Tpbi1,3,5-tris(N-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene] was used as hole blocking layer. To investigate the optimization of device structure, we prepared four kinds of PLED devices with different structures such as single emission layer(PFO : MEH-PPV), two double emission layer(PFO/PFO : MEH-PPV, PFO : MEH-PPV/PFO) and double emission layer with hole blocking layer(PFO/PFO : MEH-PPV/TPBI). The electrical and optical properties of prepared devices were compared. The prepared PLED showed yellow emission color with CIE color coordinates of x = 0.48, y = 0.48 at the applied voltage of 14V. The maximum luminance and current density were found to be about 3920 cd/$m^2$ and 130 mA/$cm^2$ at 14V, respectively for the PLED device with the structure of ITO/PEDOT : PSS/PFO/PFO : MEH-PPV/TPBI/LiF/Al.
