The electrical properties of organic lightemitting devices (OLEDs) with wide-bandgap impurity-doped emitting layers (EML) were investigated. While the luminous efficiency of OLEDs with a NPB or a DPVBi-doped $Alq_3$ EML did not vary significantly with the current density, that of the OLEDs with a BCP-doped $Alq_3$ EML changed dramatically.

The efficiency stabilization and the color coordinates in blue organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) with a double emitting layer (DEL) consisting of 4,4'-Bis(carbazol-9-yl)biphenyl (CBP) and 4,4'-Bis(2,2-diphenyl-ethen-1-yl)diphenyl were investigated. The efficiency of the OLEDs with a DEL did not significantly change with an increase in current density. The Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates of the OLEDs with a DEL 11 V were (0.150, 0.137), indicative of a deep blue color.

Thermal annealing of a polymer light-emitting diode (PLED) is shown to result in a remarkable improvement in the long-term stability of the device. The best half-life is obtained at an annealing temperature above the $T_g$ of emitting polymer. It is shown that the annealing of the emitting polymer layer results in a more than an order of magnitude increase in the half-life in spite of a decrease in the efficiency of the device as the annealing temperature increases.$^1$

High-efficiency organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on multilayer transparent electrodes (MTEs) are reported. The dielectric/metal/dielectric (DMD) multilayer electrode based on a thin silver layer achieved high sheet conductance as small as $6{\Omega}/sp$ and a tuning capability in the optical and electrical properties by engineering the inner and outer dielectric layers. In the conventional normal bottom-emitting structure, a DMD-based OLED can be fabricated with 90% higher forward luminous efficiency and 30% higher external quantum efficiency (EQE) compared to ITO-based devices. Special attention was paid to the optimization method of such MTE structure considering both the injection and optical structures.

In this study, we have investigated transient properties of top emission organic light emitting diode (OLED) with a red electrophosphorescent dopant. The emission spectrum shows a strong peak at 620 nm accompanied with a small peak at 675 nm in the red region. Time evolution of electrophosphorescence reveals a decay time of 703 ms at a voltage pulse of 5 V in a device with an emitting area of 20 $mm^2$. Rise and delay times vary from 450 to 14 ms and 73 to 3 ms, respectively, as the voltage amplitude increases from 4.5 to 10 V. These results are compared with the red emitting device without an electron injection layer.

Replacing the existing illumination with solid-state lighting devices, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are expected to reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution as they provide better efficiency and longer lifetimes. Currently, white light emitting diodes are composed of UV or blue LED with down-converting materials such as highly luminescent phosphors White light-emitting diodes (LED) were fabricated with multi-shell nanocrystal quantum dots for enhanced luminance and improved stability over time. Multi-shell quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized through one pot process by using the Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method. As prepared, the multi-shell QD has cubic lattice of zinc-blend structure with semi-spherical shape with quantum yield of higher than 60 % in solution. Further, highly fluorescent multi-shell QD was deposited on the blue LED, which resulted in QD-based white LED with high luminance with excellent color rendering properties.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) as pixels for flat panel displays are being actively pursued because of their relatively simple structure, high brightness, and self-emitting nature [1, 2]. The top-emitting diode structure is preferred because of their geometrical advantage allowing high pixel resolution [3]. To enhance the performance of TOLEDs, it is important to deposit transparent top cathode films, such as transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), which have high transparency as well as low resistance. In this work, we report on investigation of the characteristics of an indium tin oxide (ITO) cathode electrode, which was deposited on organic films by using a radio-frequency magnetron sputtering method, for use in top-emitting organic light emitting diodes (TOLED). The cathode electrode composed of a very thin layer of Mg-Ag and an overlaying ITO film. The Mg-Ag reduces the contact resistivity and plasma damage to the underlying organic layer during the ITO sputtering process. Transfer length method (TLM) patterns were defined by the standard shadow mask for measuring specific contact resistances. The spacing between the TLM pads varied from 30 to $75\;{\mu}m$. The electrical properties of ITO as a function of the deposition and annealing conditions were investigated. The surface roughness as a function of the plasma conditions was determined by Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM).

Microdisplays based on organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have a small form factor, and this can be a great advantage when applied to augmented reality and virtual reality devices. In addition, a high-resolution microdisplay of 3000 ppi or more can be achieved when applying a white OLED structure and a color filter. However, low luminance is the weakness of an OLED-based microdisplay as compared with other microdisplay technologies. By applying a tandem structure consisting of two separate emission layers, the efficiency of the OLED device is increased, and higher luminance can be achieved. The efficiency and white spectrum of the OLED device are affected by the position of the emitting layer in the tandem structure and calculated via optical simulation. Each white OLED device with optimized efficiency is fabricated according to the position of the emitting layer, and red, green, and blue spectrum and efficiency are confirmed after passing through color filters. The optimized white OLED device with color filters reaches 97.8% of the National Television Standards Committee standard.

In order to enhance performance, stability, and brightness of inorganic blue-light emitting EL device, barrier layer structure and pulsed laser annealing(PLA) treatment were introduced. The barrier layer structure was utilized for improving brightness of the device and instead of thermal annealing, pulsed laser annealing process was used. From this study, optimum barrier layer thickness and number of pulsed laser irradiation are established.

Quantum dots(QDs) with their tunable luminescence properties are uniquely suited for use as lumophores in light emitting device. We investigate the microstructural effect on the electroluminescence(EL). Here we report the use of inorganic semiconductors as robust charge transport layers, and demonstrate devices with light emission. We chose mechanically smooth and compositionally amorphous films to prevent electrical shorts. We grew semiconducting oxide films with low free-carrier concentrations to minimize quenching of the QD EL. The hole transport layer(HTL) and electron transport layer(ETL) were chosen to have carrier concentrations and energy-band offsets similar to the QDs so that electron and hole injection into the QD layer was balanced. For the ETL and the HTL, we selected a 40-nm-thick $ZnSnO_x$ with a resistivity of $10{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, which show bright and uniform emission at a 10 V applied bias. Light emitting uniformity was improved by reducing the rpm of QD spin coating.At a QD concentration of 15.0 mg/mL, we observed bright and uniform electroluminescence at a 12 V applied bias. The significant decrease in QD luminescence can be attributed to the non-uniform QD layers. This suggests that we should control the interface between QD layers and charge transport layers to improve the electroluminescence.
