We demonstrate the blue InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with an embedded air-gap photonic crystal (PC) which was fabricated by the lateral epitaxial overgrowth of GaN layer on the tungsten (W) nano-masks. The periodic air-gap PC was formed by the chemical reaction of hydrogen with GaN on the W nano-mask. The optical output power of LEDs with an air-gap PC was increased by 26% compared to LEDs without an air-gap PC. The enhanced optical output power was attributed to the improvement in internal quantum efficiency and light extraction efficiency by the air-gap PC embedded in GaN layer.

Highly efficient and bright organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been realized using the thin alkali compound films (TACFs) at the interface between an emitting layer and an electron transporting layer with conventional organic layers. By comparing the performance of the device as a function of position with the TACFs, we propose the optimal position of the TACFs in the tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3). A device with the ACFs showed high luminance of over 12 500 cd/m2, luminance efficiency of more than 12 cd/A, and power efficiency of more 4.5 lm/W, respectively.

Plasma polymerized para-xylene (PPpX) thin films deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) were used to passivate the organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). For OLEDs, indium tin oxide (ITO), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-diphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD), tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum $(Alq_{3})$ and aluminum (Al) were used as the anode, the hole transport layer (HTL), the emitting layer (EML) and the cathode, respectively. The OLED device with the PPpX passivation film (passivated device) showed similar electrical and optical characteristics to those of the OLED device without the PPpX passivation film (control device), indicating that the PECVD process did not degrade the performance of the OLEDs notably. The lifetime of the passivated device was two times longer than that of the control device. Passivation of OLEDs with PPpX films also suppressed the growth of dark spots. The density and size of dark spots of the passivated device were much smaller than those of the control device.

In generally, the guest-emitter doped system has been reported to give a bright electroluminescence(EL). The purpose of using doped system is to improve for increasing lifetime and efficiency, and tuning multicolor light. This indicates an enhanced electron-hole recombination rate in emitting layer. The purpose of this study is to obtain the high performance EL devices for flat panel display with red emission. We fabricated EL devices using the guest-host system. where DCM derivatives were taken as a dopant. The devices are fabricated in multilayer system with various concentration of the dopant (red light emitting dye). We measured the I-V characteristics and EL spectra from these devices. and we compared with photoluminescence(PL) quantum yield among the DCM derivatives. The emission mechanism of devices is participated in energy transfer. The energy transfer from these hosts to DCM generates luminescence spectra that vary from yellow red to red, depending on DCM derivatives. Absorption and emission spectra of organic materials composing the devices depend on the emission materials doped with the DCM derivatives. We demonstrated that the high EL efficiency can be achieved by doping host material with DCM derivatives and molecular steric structures

We compare electrical and optical properties of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) using rhodium-oxide-coated indium-tin-oxide ($O_2$-Rh/ITO) to that using $O_2$-plasma-treated ITO (ITO) anodes. The turn-on voltage decreased from 7 V to 5 V and luminance value increased when the $O_2$ plasma treated Rh layer was deposited on ITO. Synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy results showed the dipole energies of both ITO and $O_2$-Rh/ITO were same with each other, - 0.3 eV, meaning the formation of same amount of interface dipole. The secondary electron emission spectra revealed that the work function of $O_2$-Rh/ITO is higher hy 0.2 eV than that of ITO, resulting in the decrease of the tum-on voltage via reduction ofhole injection barrier.

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 red/blue, blue/red and red/blue/red emitting layer (EML) structures were fabricated using a host-dopant system. In case of white PHOLEDs with red/blue structure, the best efficiency was obtained at a structure of red (15 nm)/blue (15 nm). But the emission color was blue-shifted white. In case of white PHOLEDs with blue/red structure, the better color purity and efficiency were observed at a blue (29 nm)/red (1 nm) structure. For additional improvement of color purity in white PHOLEDs with blue (29 nm)/red (1 nm) EMLs, we fabricated white PHOLEDs with red (1 nm)/blue (28 nm)/red (1 nm) structure. The current efficiency, external quantum efficiency, and CIE (x, y) coordinate were 27.2 cd/A, 15.1%, and (0.382, 0.369) at 1,000 $cd/m^2$, respectively.

We report very efficient white OLEDs consisting of a blue-emitting 4,4'bis[N-(1-napthyl)-N-phenyl-amino]-biphenyl (${\alpha}$-NPD), a hole-blocking layer of 2,9-dimethyl-4, 7-diphenyl-1, 10-phenanthroline (BCP) doped with red fluorescent dye of 4-dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-[2-(2,3,6,7-tetrahydro- 1H, 5H-benzo[i,j]quinolizin-8-yl) vinyl]-4H-pyran) (DCM2), and green-emitting tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum ($Alq_3$). The device with the structure of ITO/${\alpha}$-NPD (50 nm)/BCP:DCM2 (0.8 %, 4 nm)/$Alq_3$ (50 nm)/LiF (0.5 nm)/Al shows a white emission with the CIE coordinates (0.329, 0.333). The maximum luminance of 20,800 cd/$m^2$ is obtained at 15.4 V. The power efficiency is 2.6lm/W and the external quantum efficiency is 2.1 % at a luminance of 100 cd/$m^2$ at the bias voltage of 6 V.

Transparent In-doped zinc oxide (IZO) thin films are deposited with variation of pulsed DC power at Ar atmosphere on coming 7059 glass substrate by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering. A c-axis oriented IZO thin films were grown in perpendicular to the substrate. The optical transmittance spectra showed high transmittance of over 80% in the UV-visible region and exhibited the absorption edge of about 350 nm. Also, the IZO films exhibited the resistivity of ${\sim}10^{-3}{\Omega}\;cm$ and the mobility of ${\sim}6cm/V\;s$. Organic Light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with IZO/N,N'-diphenyl-N, N'-bis(3-methylphenl)-1, 1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD)/tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum ($Alq_3$)/LiF/Al configuration were fabricated. LiF layer inserted is used as an interfacial layer to increase the electron injection. Under a current density of $100\;mA/cm^2$, the OLEDs show an excellent efficiency (9.4 V turn-on voltage) and a good brightness ($12000\;cd/m^2$) of the emission light from the devices. These results indicate that IZO films hold promise for anode electrodes in the OLEDs application.

In organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), the electrons and holes need to be injected efficiently to obtain the best device performance. This means that a small injection barrier height at the ITO/organic interface is required. In this study, the surface of the ITO anode was treated with an Aluminum oxynitride (AlON).

Current-voltage-luminance characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were measured in the temperature range of 10 K～300 K. Indium-tin-oxide (ITO) was used as an anode and aluminum as a cathode in the device. Organic of N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di(m-tolyl)-benzidine (TPD) was used for a hole transporting material, and tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (Alq$_3$) for an electron transporting material and emissive material. And copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), poly(3,4-ethylenedi oxythiophene);poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), and poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) were used for hole-injection buffer layers. From tile analysis of electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminesccnce (PL) spectra of the Alq$_3$, the EL spectrum is more greenish then that of PL. And the temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics were analyzed in the double and multilayer structure of OLEDS. Electrical conduction mechanism was explained in the region of high-electric and low-electric field. Temperature-dependent luminous efficiency and operating voltage were analyzed from the current-voltage- luminance characteristics of the OLEDS.
