Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were fabricated with the electron dominant complex, 4,7-diphenyl-1, 10-phenanthroline (Bphen) into the traditional electron transporting material of tris (S-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum $(Alq_3)$, neat $Alq_3$ and Bphen as electron-transporting layers (ETLs), respectively. Use of the Bphen material results in efficient electron injection and transport, allowing for high luminous efficiency devices. The devices with neat $Alq_3$(Device1), 1:1 mixed $Alq_3$ : Bphen(Device2), and Bphen(Device3) have efficiency of 15.3cd/A, 16.9cd/A, 20.9cd/A, respectively, at $20\;mA/cm^2$. The efficiency characteristic of device with Bphen is best, but the device that is satisfied high efficiency and stability at once is observed in Device2.

We have synthesized a novel carrier transporting copolymer having triphenylamine moiety as a hole transporting unit and triazine moiety as an electron transporting unit in the polymer side chain. Single-layered organic electroluminescent (EL) devices consisted of ITO/copolymer and emitting materials (DCM, coumarin 6, DPvBi)/Al exhibited maximum external quantum efficiency when the ratio of hole transporting unit and electron transporting unit is 6:4 and the content of emitting material is 30 wt%. Especially, the devices emitted the light of red (620 nm), green (520 nm) and blue (450 nm) corresponding to the emitting materials, respectively. A maximum luminance of ITO/copolymer (6:4) and DCM (30 wt%)/Al EL device was about 500 cd/$m^2$ at a DC drive voltage of 12V.

Recently, high luminance and high efficiency were realized in OLED with multilayer structure including emitting materials such as metal-chelate complexes. We synthesized a new luminescent material, namely, [2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)quinoline] (Zn(HPB)q) which has low molecular compound and emitted in yellowish green region. The ionization potential(IP) and electron affinity(EA) of Zn(HPB)q were measured by cyclic-voltammetry(CV). As a result, IP and EA of Zn(HPB)q were calculated 6.8 eV and 3.5 eV, respectively. We fabricated the devices and observed the possibility of Zn(HPB)q as electron transporting layer. We have obtained an improvement of luminance and decrease of turn-on voltage using Zn(HPB)q as electron transporting layer.

In this paper, we describe a versatile use of fullerene(C60) as a charge transporting material for organic light-emitting diodes. The use of fullerene as a buffer layer for an anode, a doping material for hole transport layer, and an electron transport layer was investigated. Fullerene improved the hole injection from an anode to a hole transport layer by lowering the interfacial energy barrier and enhanced the lifetime of the device as a doping material for a hole transport layer. In addition, it was also effective as an electron transporting material to get low driving voltage in the device.

Organic light emitting diodes(OLEDs) are widely used as one of the information display techniques. We synthesized (1,10-phenanthroline)- (8-hydroxyquinoline) [Zn(Phen)q]. We studied the improvement of OLEDs properties using Zn(phen)q. The Ionization Potential(IP) and the Electron Affinity(EA) of Zn(phen)q investigated using cyclic voltammetry(CV). The IP, EA and Eg were 7.leV, 3.4eV and 3.7eV, respectively. The PL spectrum of Zn(phen)q was yellowish green as the wavelength of 535nm. In this study, we used Zn(phen)q as electron transporting layer(ETL) inserted between emitting layer(EML) and cathode. As a result, Zn(phen)q is useful as electron transporting layer to enhance the performance of OLEDs.

Electroluminescent(EL) devices based on organic materials have been of great interest due to their possible applications for large-area flat-panel displays, where they are attractive because of their capability of multicolor emission, and low operation voltage. In this study, glass substrate/ITO/Eu(TTA)$_3$(phen)/Al, glass substrate/ITO/Eu(TTA)$_3$(phen)/Al and glass substrate/ITO/Eu(TTA)$_3$(phen)/AlQ$_3$/Al structures were fabricated by vacuum evaporation method, where aromatic diamine(TPD) was used as a hole transporting material, Eu(TTA)$_3$(phen) as an emitting material, and Tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminu-m(AlQ$_3$) as an electron transporting layer. Electrolumescent(EL) and I-V characteristics of Eu(TTA)$_3$-(-phen) were investigated. These structures show the red EL spectra, which are almost the same at the PL spectrum of Eu(TTA)$_3$(phen). I-V characteristics of this structure show that turn-on voltage was 9V and current density was 0.01A/㎤ at a operation voltage of 9V. Electrical transporting phenomena of these structures were explained using the trapped-charge-limited current model with I-V characteristics.

Zn(HPB)$_2$ is also good a hole blocking material.

The existing conjugated blue emitting material polymer which has been used for the two-wavelength method white-emission has good stability and low operating voltage as merits, but the imbalanced carrier transport has been indicated as problem area. We have introduced a novel blue emitting material having perylene moiety unit with hole transporting ability and blue emitting property and triazine moiety unit with electron transporting ability into the same host chain. We have synthesized N-[p-(perylen-3-y1)pheny1]methacry1 amide (PPMA) monomer and [N-(2,4-dipheny1-1,3,5-triazine)pheny1 methacry1 amide] (DTPM) monomer having blue light-emitting unit and electron transport unit, respectively by three steps. A novel non-conjugated blue emitting material Poly[N -[p­(perylene-3-y1) pheny1] methacry1 amide-co-N-[P-(4,6-dipheny1-1,3,5-triazine-2-y1]pheny1]methacry1 amide] (PPPMA-co-DTPM) copolymer having electron transporting unit was synthesized by the solution polymerization of PPMA and DTPM monomers with an AIBN initiator and showed high yield of $75{\%}$. It was very soluble in common organic solvents, and the fabrication of the thin film using a spin coating method was very simple. The PPPMA exhibited a good thermal stability.

The development of efficient electron donor (or hole-transporting) molecules that can be used in various optoelectronic device fields is highly demanded. In this work, a novel class of triptycene-based three-dimensional (3D) triphenylamine (TI-TPA) derivatives with different end substituents was designed and prepared for transparent electron donor materials. Owing to the rigid 3D triptycene framework, the obtained TI-TPA derivatives had an amorphous morphology with high thermal decomposition temperature. The oxidation potential of these TI-TPA derivatives decreased as the electron donating strength of the end substituent increased. Among TI-TPA derivatives, TI-TPA-OMe exhibited the highest HOMO level (-5.31 eV) which is similar to that of Spiro-OMeTAD (-5.22 eV). In addition, TI-TPA-OMe was found to form a strong charge transfer complex with the triptycene-based acceptor TI-BQ, leading to a new absorption band at around 640 nm. These results can be applied for developing efficient electron donor materials that can mimic the advantages of the spiro-linked structure and TPA units of Spiro-OMeTAD.
