For the process simplification in the fabrication of organic light emitting diode(OLED), top emission OLED (TEOLED) was fabricated without lithium fluoride(LiF) used as an electron injection layer (EIL). After co-deposition of Mg and Ag with a different process conditions, a cathode material adjacent to EIL was optimized when Mg and Ag have a ratio of 1:9 considering sheet resistance and transmittance. From the energy band diagram of TEOLED, band gap difference between Trisaluminium (Alq3) and Mg:Ag cathode show the difference of 0.4 eV according to the usage of LiF The fabricated TEOLED without LiF showed the improvement of 5.2 % and 2.7 % in the luminance and the current density comparing that with LiF. The results show there is no significant difference in OLED characteristics regardless of LIF layer in the TEOLED structures.

We investigated the electrical characteristics of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) with air exposure that is a widely used electron transport layer for quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). Upon air exposure, we observed changes in the density of states (DOS) of the trap levels of ZnO NPs. In particular, with air exposure, the concentration of deep trap energy levels in ZnO NPs decreased and electron mobility significantly improved. Consequently, the air-exposed ZnO reduced leakage current by approximately one order of magnitude and enhanced the external quantum efficiency at the low driving voltage region of the QLED. In addition, based on the excellent conductivity properties, high-brightness QLEDs could be achieved.

We studied the performance enhancement of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using 2,3,5,6-fluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane ($F_4-TCNQ$) as the hole-transport layer. To investigate how $F_4-TCNQ$ affects the device performance, we fabricated a reference device in an ITO (170 nm)/TPD(40 nm)/$Alq_3$(60 nm)/LiF(0.5 nm)/Al(100 nm) structure. Several types of test devices were manufactured by either doping the $F_4-TCNQ$ in the TPD layer or forming a separate $F_4-TCNQ$ layer between the ITO anode and TPD layer. N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di(m-tolyl)-benzidine (TPD), tri(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum ($Alq_3$), and $F_4-TCNQ$ layers were formed by thermal evaporation at a pressure of $10_{-6}$ torr. The deposition rate was $1.0-1.5{\AA}/s$ for TPD and $Alq_3$. The LiF was subsequently thermally evaporated at a deposition rate of $0.2{\AA}/s$. The performance of the OLEDs was considered with respect to the turn-on voltage, luminance, and current efficiency. It was found that the use of $F_4-TCNQ$ in OLEDs enhances the performance of the device. In particular, the use of a separate layer of $F_4-TCNQ$ realizes better device performance than other types of OLEDs.

Electroluminescence(EL) devices based on organic thin films have been attracted lots of interests in large-area light-emitting display. In this stuffy, an emissive layer was fabricated using Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique in organic light-emitting (OLEDs). This emissive organic material was synthesized and named PECCP[poly(3.6-N-2-ethylhexyl carbazolyl cyanoterephthalidene)] which has a strong electron donor group and an electron acceptor group in main chain repeated unit. This material has good solubility in common organic solvents such as chloroform. THF, etc, and has a good stability in air. The Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique has the advantage of precise control of the thickness down to the molecular scale, In particular, by varying the film thickness it is possible to investigate the metal/polymer interface. Optimum conditions for the LB film deposition are usually determined by investigating a relationship between a surface pressure $\pi$ and an effective are A occupied by one molecule on the subphase. The LB films were deposited on an indium-tin-oxide(ITO) glass at a surface pressure of 10 mN/m and dipping speed of 12 mm/min after spreading PECCP solution on distilled water surphase at room temperature, Cell structure was ITO/PECCP LB film/Alq$_3$/Al. We considered PECCP as a hole -transport layer inserted between the emissive layer and ITO. We also used Alq$_3$ as an emissive layer and an electron transport layer. We measured current-voltage(I-V) characteristics, UV/visible absorption, PL spectrum and EL spectrum of the OLEDs.

In this study, we synthesized a new red emitting material of a Red225 doped into $Alq_3$ (tris(8-quinolinolato)aluminum (III)) and fabricated white organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with a simple device structure. With a blue emitting material of DPVBi (4,4'-bis(2,2'-diphenylvinyl)1,1'-biphenyl) that can transfer effectively both a hole and an electron, OLEDs with a narrow emission layer could be possible without a hole-blocking layer. Consequently, the driving voltage and stability of devices have been improved. The devices show the Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of (0.36, 0.35) at luminance of 2000 cd/$m^2$. The luminous efficiency is about 3.5 cd/A, luminance is about 12000 cd/$m^2$ and current density is about 350 mA/$cm^2$ at 12 V, respectively.

BAlq was fabricated as for hole blocking layer in the OLED devices to investigate its electrical and optical characteristics. Device structure was ITO/$\alpha$ -NPD/EML/BAlq/Alq3/Al:Li using TYG-201, DPVBi (4, 4 - Bis (2, 2 - diphenylethen-1 - yls) - Biphenyl), Alq and DCJTB (4-(dicyanomethylene)-2- (1-propyls)6-methy 4H-pyrans) as green emitting material, blue emitting material, host material for red emission and red emitting guest material respectively. The OLED device showed optimum working voltage and electron density at 600 cd/$m^2$ when thickness of BAlq is 25$\AA$ for RGB OLED devices while their efficiencies are better at 50$\AA$ of BAlq. Red and blue color OLEDs also fabricated using 30$\AA$ thickness of BAlq and compared with those without BAlq layer. BAlq was more effective in electrical properties such as working voltage, current density and efficiency of red OLED than blue and green ones. This study describes that 30$\AA$ is optimum thickness of BAlq for best performance of full color OLED devices when using BAlq as a hole blocking material.

We studied the emission characteristics of white phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs), which were fabricated using a two-wavelength method. To optimize emission characteristics of white PHOLEDs, white PHOLEDs with co-doping and blue/co-doping emitting layer (EML) structures were fabricated using a host-dopant system. The total thickness of light-emitting layer was 25 nm and the dopant of blue and red was FIrpic and $Bt_2Ir(acac)$ in UGH3, respectively. In case of co-doping structure, applying micro lens array film showed efficiency improvement from the current efficiency 78.5 cd/A and power efficiency 40.4 lm/W to the current efficiency 131.1 cd/A and power efficiency 65 lm/W and blue / co-doping structure showed efficiency improvement from the current efficiency 43.8 cd/A and power efficiency 22 lm/W to the current efficiency 69 cd/A and power efficiency 32 lm/W.

Color stable and efficient two wavelength white organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) were fabricated using a iridium(III)[bis(4,6-difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,$C^2$'] picolinate (FIrpic) as a blue phosphorescent emitter and a bis(1-phenylisoquinolinato-$C^2$,N)iridium (acetylacetonate) ((piq)$_2$Ir(acac)) as a red phosphorescent emitter. The emitting layers consist of two blue emitting layers and one red emitting layer which is between the two blue layers. The device reaches the peak efficiencies of 7.84 % and 10.3 cd/A at 0.6 mA/$cm^2$. Furthermore, there was little change of EL spectra according to current density change in the device.

We propose the Poynting vector analysis of the air mode in a top-emitting organic light-emitting diode (OLED) by combining the transfer matrix method and dipole source term. The spatial profiles of the time-averaged optical power flow of the air mode are calculated inside and outside the multilayer structure of the OLED with respect to the thickness of the semi-transparent top cathode and capping layer (CPL). We elucidate how the micro-cavity effect controlled by the thickness variation of the semi-transparent top cathode or CPL affects the internal optical power and absorption loss inside the OLED multilayer and the external optical power coupled into the air. When the calculated absorption loss and external power obtained by the proposed Poynting vector and currently-used point dipole models are compared, two calculation results are identical, which demonstrates the validity of the two models.
