We introduce a lifetime assessment technique using deep learning algorithm with complex electrical parameters such as resistivity, permittivity, impedance parameters as integrated indicators for predicting the degradation of the organic molecules. The evaluation system consists of fully automated in-situ measurement system and multiple layer perceptron learning system with five hidden layers and 1011 perceptra in each layer. Prediction accuracies are calculated and compared depending on the physical feature, learning hyperparameters. 62.5% of full time-series data are used for training and its prediction accuracy is estimated as r-square value of 0.99. Remaining 37.5% of the data are used for testing with prediction accuracy of 0.95. With k-fold cross-validation, the stability to the instantaneous changes in the measured data is also improved.

To improvement life-time of the organic light emitting diodes(OLEDs). We investigate the inorganic composite film based on MgO and $SiO_2$ to protect from the moisture and oxygen. The inorganic composite films are added the base materials to the co-operate materials using the mixed process and it is deposited on plastic substrate by e-beam evaporator. In order to analyze as kinds of inorganic materials, Water Vapor method of Transmission Rate (WVTR) and Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) are measured by Permatran equipment(MOCON Corp.). For comparison. an MgD- and $SiO_2$-based composite film has lower values of WVTR and OTR than inorganic composite/compound films of ones. The results obtained here shows that this film is suitable for passivation layer to extend the life-time of OLEDs.

In this paper, we studied WVTR(water vapor transmission rate) properties of $Si_3N_4$ thin film that was deposited using TCP-CVD (transformer coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition) method for the possibility of OLED(organic light emitting diode) encapsulation. Considering the conventional OLED processing temperature limit of below $80^{\circ}C$, the $Si_3N_4$ thin films were deposited at room temperature. The $Si_3N_4$ thin films were prepared with the process conditions: $SiH_4$ and $N_2$, as reactive gases; working pressure below 15 mTorr; RF power for TCP below 500 W. Through MOCON test for WVTR, we analyzed water vapor permeation per day. We obtained that WVTR property below 6~0.05 gm/$m^2$/day at process conditions. The best preparation condition for $Si_3N_4$ thin film to get the best WVTR property of 0.05 gm/$m^2$/day were $SiH_4:N_2$ gas flow rate of 10:200 sccm, working pressure of 10 mTorr, working distance of 70 mm, TCP power of 500 W and film thickness of 200 nm. respectively. The proposed results indicates that the $Si_3N_4$ thin film could replace metal or glass as encapsulation for flexible OLED.

전기 흡수 방법과 변조 광전류 분광학을 이용하는 방법으로 내장 전압을 측정할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 변조 광전류 분광학을 사용하였다. 소자에 인가 전압이 영일 때 양극과 음극의 일 함수 차이 때문에 내장 전압이 존재하며, 그로 인해 내장 전기장이 생긴다. 유기 발광 소자의 광전도도는 엑시톤이 자유 전자와 정공으로 분리될 때 발생한다. 이 때 발생되는 광전류의 크기와 광전류의 위상 변화를 측정하여 내장 전압을 추정한다. 소자의 구조는 두 전극 사이에 단층으로 하여 만들었으며 모든 소자에서 발광층인 $Alq_3$ 두께는 150nm로 하였고, 양극으로는 ITO를 사용하였으며, 음극으로는 Al과 LiAl을 100nm 두께와 150nm두께로 하였다. ITO/$Alq_3$/Al 소자 구조에서 Al 100nm 와 150nm 로 두께 변화를 주었으나 내장 전압은 1.0eV로 변화가 없었다. ITO/$Alq_3$/LiAl 소자 구조에서 LiAl이 100nm 와 150nm 두께 변화에서도 내장 전압은 1. 8eV로 같은 크기를 보였다. 이로 부터 전극의 두께와는 상관없이 일정한 내장 전압이 측정됨을 알 수 있었다. LiAl을 사용한 소자의 경우 Al을 음극으로 사용한 소자에 비해 내장 전압이 0.8eV 증가되었다. 이는 LiAl의 일함수가 Al보다 낮은 값을 갖는 것과 일치하는 결과이다. 이런 결과가 나온 까닭은 LiAl을 음극으로 사용한 경우에는 자유로운 $Li^+$이 발생하여 유기물에 더 좋은 전자 주입이 되도록 하여 소자의 전자 장벽을 낮추었기 때문에 전자의 주입이 활발하여 광전류의 이동이 용이했음을 알 수 있다.

The organic light-emitting devices(OLEDs) based on fluorescence have low efficiency due to the requirement of spin-symmetry conservation. By using the phosphorescent material, the internal quantum efficiency can reach 100$\%$, compared to 25$\%$ in case of the fluorescent material [1]. Thus recently phosphorescent OLEDs have been extensively studied and showed higher internal quantum efficiency than conventional OLEDs. In this study, we have applied a new Ir complex as a red dopant and fabricated a red phosphorescent OLED on a flexible PC(Polycarbonate) substrate. Also, we have investigated the electrical and optical properties of the devices with a structure of A1/LiF/Alq3/(RD05 doped)BAlq/NPB/2-TNAIA/ITO/PC substrate. Our device showed the lightening efficiency of > 30 cd/A at an initial brightness of 1000 cd/$m^{2}$. The CIE(Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage) coordinates for the device were (0.62,0.37) at a current density of 1 mA/$cm^{2}$. In addition, although the sheet resistance of ITO films on PC substrate is higher than that on glass substrate, the flexible OLED showed much better lightening efficiency without much increase in operating voltage.

IZO/Ag/IZO (IAI) anode films for flexible organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) were grown on PC (polycarbonate) substrate using DC sputter (IZO) and thermal evaporator (Ag) systems as a function of Ag thickness. To investigate electrical and optical properties of IAI stacked films, 4-point probe and UV/Vis spectrometer were used, respectively. From a IAI stacked film with 12nm-thick Ag, sheet resistance of $6.9\;{\Omega}/{\square}$ and transmittance of above 82 % at a range of 500-550 nm wavelength were obtained. In addition, structural and surface properties of IAI stacked films were analyzed by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy), respectively. Moreover, IAI stacked films showed dramatically improved mechanical properties when subjected to bending both as a function of number of cycles to a fixed radius. Finally, OLEDs fabricated on both flexible IAI stacked anode and conventional ITO/Glass were fabricated and, J-V-L characteristics of those OLEDs were compared by Keithley 2400.

내장 전압의 측정은 전기흡수 방법과 변조 광전류 분광학을 이용하는 방법이 있으며, 우리는 이 논문에서 변조 광전류 분광학을 사용하여 내장 전압을 측정하였다. 소자에 인가 전압이 영일 때 양극과 음극의 일 함수 차이 때문에 내장 전압이 존재하며, 그로 인해 내장 전기장이 생긴다. 유기 발광 소자의 광전도도는 엑시톤이 자유전자와 정공으로 분리들 때 발생한다. 이 때 발생되는 광전류와 광전류의 위상 변화를 측정하여 내장 전압을 추정한다. 소자의 구조는 두 전극 사이에 단층으로 하여 만들었으며 모든 소자의 $Alq_3$ 두께는 150nm로 하고, 양극은 ITO를 사용하였고 음극은 Al과 LiAl을 100nm 두께로 하였다. 내장 전압의 측정 결과 ITO/$Alq_3$/LiAl의 내장 전압은 0.9eV로 측정된 데 반해 ITO/$Alq_3$/LiAl은 1.6eV로 측정되었다. 따라서, LiAl을 사용한 소자의 경우 Al을 사용한 소자에 비해 내장 전압이 0.7eV 증가되었다. 이는 LiAl의 일함수가 Al보다 낮은 값을 갖는 것과 일치하는 결과이다. 이런 결과가 나온 까닭은 LiAl을 음극으로 사용한 경우에는 자유로운 $Li^+$이 발생하여 유기물에 더 좋은 전자주입이 되도록 하여 소자의 전자 장벽을 낮추었기 때문에 전자의 주입이 활발하여 광전류의 이동이 용이했음을 알 수 있다.

We present that the carrier balance can be improved by doping a hole transport layer of 4,4'- bis[N-(1-napthyl)-N-phenyl-amino]-biphenyl (${\alpha}$-NPD) with a hole blocking material of 2,9-dimethyl- 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP). The doping leads to disturb hole transport, which can enhance the balance of electron s and holes concentration in the emitting layer, aluminum tris(8 -hydroxyquinoline) (Alq3), resulting in enhanced electroluminescence (EL) quantum efficiency for the device with the doped ${\alpha}$-NPD.

We report on the fabrication of organic-based flexible displays using an amorphous IZO anode grown at room temperature. The IZO anode films were grown by a conventional DC reactive sputtering on the polycarbonate (PC) substrate at room temperature using a synthesized IZO target in a $Ar/O_2$ ambient. Both x-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution electron microscope (HREM) examination results show that the IZO anode film grown at room temperature Is complete amorphous structure due to low substrate temperature. A sheet resistance of $35.6\Omega/\Box$, average transmittance above 90 % in visible range, and root mean spare roughness of $6\sim10.5\AA$ were obtained even in the IZO anode film grown on PC substrate at room temperature. It is shown that the $Ir(ppy)_3$ doped flexible organic light emitting diode (OLED) fabricated on the IZO anode exhibit comparable current-voltage-luminance characteristics as well as external quantum efficiency and power efficiency to OLED fabricated on conventional ITO/Glass substrate. These findings indicate that the IZO anode film grown on PC substrate is a promising anode materials for the fabrication of organic based flexible displays.

In this study, the inorganic thin-film passivation layer was newly adopted to protect the organic layer from moisture and oxygen. Using the electron beam evaporation system, the various kinds of inorganic thin-films were deposited onto the organic layer and their interface properties between organic and inorganic layer were investigated. In this investigation, the MgO layer showed the most suitable properties, and based on this result, the time dependent emission properties were estimated for the OLED with and without passivation layer. In this experiment, we can see that the time-dependent emission properties of MgO passivated OLED had longer life-time compared to non-passivated OLED. Therefore, we can consider that the MgO thin film is one of the most suitable candidates for the thin-film passivation layer of OLED.
