Organic electroluminescence devices(ELD) were fabricated using by molecularly doped method with N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine(TPD) as a hole transport agent, squarylium dye as an emitting agent, and side chain liquid crystalline polymer(MCH) as matrix for TPD. An indium-tin-oxide(ITO) coated glass and an Mg electrode were used as the hole and the electron injecting electrode, respectively. The highest stability of ELD was obtained by spin coating method using dichloroethane as a solvent at a polymer/TPD concentration of 0.005 wt%. For the EL cell with ITO/polymer-TPD/SQ dye/Mg structure, we achieved light red luminescence at a current of 102 mA/$cm^2$ with an applied voltage of 23 V.

During last two decades, remarkable progresses have been made in organic electronic devices, such as organic light-emitting device, organic photovoltaic and many other applied devices. Many of these progress are attributed to the multilayered/heterojunction device architectures, which could be achieved from the control of "interfacial energetics". In that sense, the interfacial electronic structures in organic electronic devices have a decisive role in device performance. However, the prediction of the interfacial electronic structures from each separate material is not trivial. Many complex phenomena occur at the interface and these can be only understood from thorough measurements on interfacial electronic structures in situ. Photoemission and inverse photoemission spectroscopy have been known as the most proper measurement tools to analyze these interfacial electronic structures. In this review, the basic principles of (inverse) photoemission spectroscopy and typical measurement results on organic/inorganic interfaces are introduced.

In this paper, the inorganic multi-layer thin film encapsulation was newly adopted to protect the organic layer from moisture and oxygen. Using the electron beam, Sputter, inorganic multi-layer thin-film encapsulation was deposited onto the Ethylene Terephthalate(PET) and their interface properties between inorganic and organic layer were investigated. In this investigation, the SiON SiO2 and parylene layer showed the most suitable properties. Under these conditions, the WVTR for PET can be reduced from a level of $0.57\;g/m^2/day$ (bare subtrate) to 1*10-5 g/$m^2$/day after application of a SiON and SiO2 layer. These results indicates that the PET/SiO2/SiON/Parylene barrier coatings have high potential for flexible organic light-emitting diode(OLED) applications.

In this study, we demonstrated high-efficiency blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) employing BCzVBi as a blue fluorescent dye doped into blue host material, DPVBi with various concentration. The optimized blue OLED device having high-efficiency was constructed with structure of NPB (500 ${\AA}$) / DPVBi:BCzVBi-6% (150 ${\AA}$)/$Alq_3$(300 ${\AA}$) / Liq (20 ${\AA}$) / Al (1000 ${\AA}$). The maximum luminescence of blue OLED was 13200 cd/$m^2$ at 13.8 V and current density and maximum efficiency were 26.4 mA/$cm^2$ at 1000 cd/$m^2$ and 4.24 cd/A at 3.9 V, respectively. Luminous efficiency shows two times higher than comparing with non-doped BCzVBi blue OLED whereas $CIE_{x,y}$ coordinate was similar with bare DPVBi blue OLED such as (0.16, 0.19). Electroluminescence of BCzVBi-6% doped blue OLED has two major peaks at 445 nm and 470 nm whereas pure DPVBi's blue peak appears at 456 nm and it is happened through endothermic Forster energy transfer by molecule's vibration between LUMO of DPVBi as host material and LUMO of BCzVBi as dopant in device.

We fabricated red and blue organic light emitting display (OLEDs) which had the two kinds of multi-structure of ITO/HIL/HTL/EML/ETL/LiF/Al and ITO/HIL/HTL/EML/ETL/LiF/Al/LiF. In the case of red OLED that had LiF/Al/LiF structure compared to LiF/Al structure, the current density increased from 4.3 mA/$cm^2$ to 7.3 mA/$cm^2$, and the brightness increased from 488 cd/$m^2$ to 1,023 cd/$m^2$ at 7.0 V, and as a result the current efficiency was improved from 11.28 cd/A to 13.95 cd/A. Also in the case of blue OLED that had LiF on Al cathode layer, the current density increased from 1.2 mA/$cm^2$ to 1.8 mA/$cm^2$, and the brightness increased from 45 cd/$m^2$ to 85 cd/$m^2$ at 7.0 V, and as a result the current efficiency was improved from 3.69 cd/A to 4.82 cd/A. Through these experimental results it could be suggested that the LiF layer formed on Al prevents the oxidation of Al surface, and the electrode resistance become low with increase of supplied electrons, therefore the brightness and the efficiency are improved from the influence to the well-balanced bonding of electron and hole at emitting layer.

We report the enhancement of hole injection using thermally evaporated $CuO_x$ layer between Ag anode and 4,4'-Bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl ($\alpha$-NPD) in top-emitting organic light-emitting diode (TEOLED). The operation voltage at the current density of $1mA/cm^2$ of TEOLEDs decreased from 6.2 V to 5.0 V as the $CuO_x$ layer inserted between Ag and $\alpha$-NPD. $\alpha$-NPD was deposited in situ on Ag/$CuO_x$ and Ag anodes, and their interface dipole energies were quantitatively determined using synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy. The dipole energy of Ag/$CuO_x$ was lower by 0.05 eV even though Ag/$CuO_x$ had a higher work function. The work function of Ag/$CuO_x$ is higher by 0.53 eV than that of Ag, resulting in a decrease of the turn-on voltage via reduction of hole injection barrier.

각도에 따른 배면 유기 발광 소자의 발광 패턴에 대해서 연구하였다. 소자 내에서 발광한 빛은 등방성으로 퍼져 나가고 굴절률이 n인 매질과 공기의 계면에서 굴절하게 된다. 소자 내에서 굴절되어 퍼져 나온 빛의 각도에 따른 빛의 세기를 측정하였다. 또한 배면 유기 발광 소자에서의 시야각을 $10^{\circ},\;20^{\circ},\;30^{\circ},\;40^{\circ},\;50^{\circ},\;6^{\circ}$로 변화시켜 각도에 따른 발광 패턴을 알 수 있었다. 소자 내에서 발광한 빛이 소자 밖으로 퍼져 나올 때의 발광 패턴을 편광판을 이용하여 $0^{\circ}$와 $90^{\circ}$로 변화시켜 실험하였다. 소자의 구조는 ITO(170nm)/TPD(40nm)/$Alq_3$(60nm)/LiF(0.5nm)/Al(100nm)으로 하고, 유기물층과 음전극은 $2{\times}10^{-5}$Torr에서 증착하였다. 유기물의 증착 조건은 $2{\times}10^{-5}$torr의 진공도에서 $1.5{\sim}2.0{\AA}/s$ 속도로 열 증착하였다. 전극의 증착 조건은 $2{\times}10^{-5}$torr의 진공도에서 $1.5{\sim}2.0{\AA}/s$ 속도로 열 증착하였다. 발광 면적은 $3mm{\times}5mm$이다. 소자의 각도에 따른 발광 스펙트럼 측정은 USB-2000을 사용하였다. 소자 밖으로 나오는 편광되어진 빛을 측정하기 위하여 편광판을 사용하여 측정하였다.

본 연구에서는 2,3,5,6-fluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ)를 이용한 유기 발광 소자의 전기적 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. F4-TCNQ 는 높은 전자 친화도를 가지고 있어서 전하 수송층이나 전하 주입층에 많이 사용되고 있다. 또한 TCNQ 유도체들은 물질의 전도도를 조절하는 용도로 많이 이용된다. TCNQ 유도체를 유기 발광 소자의 전하 수송층이나 전하 주입층에 이용할 경우, 소자의 구동 전압이나 효율과 같은 특성들이 향상된다고 알려져 있다. 우리는 소자 특성에 있어서 F4-TCNQ의 영향을 알아보기 위해서 ITO(170nm)/TPD(40nm)/$Alq_3$(60nm)/LiF(0.5nm)/Al(100nm)의 구조로 기본 소자를 제작하였다. 그리고 TPD층에 F4-TCNQ를 도핑하여 소자를 제작하였다. 도핑 농도는 5와 10%로 하였다. 또한 ITO와 TPD층 사이에 F4-TCNQ층을 1, 2, 그리고 5nm의 두께로 하여 소자를 제작하였다. F4-TCNQ를 5와 10% 도핑한 소자의 구동 전압은 도핑하지 않은 소자에 비해 감소하였다. 그리고, ITO와 유기물층 사이에 F4-TCNQ층을 삽입한 소자의 특성은 삽입하지 않은 소자에 비해 향상되었다.

본 연구에서는 ITO 표면 개질에 의한 유기 발광 소자의 특성 변화에 대해서 연구하였다. ITO 전극은 발광 소자의 투명 전극으로 널리 사용되고 있으며 이러한 발광 소자의 특성은 ITO의 표면 상태에 따라 민감하게 반응한다. ITO 표면 개질은 ITO와 유기물 사이의 쇼트기 장벽을 감소시키며, 전극과 유기물의 점착을 향상시켜 준다. 본 실험에서는 습식 처리 방식으로 self-assembled monolayer(SAM)을 사용하였다. 유기 발광 소자의 특성은 SAM 처리에 의해 향상 되었다. 유기 발광 소자는 ITO/SAM/TPD(50nm)/$Alq_3$(70nm)/LiF(0.5nm)/Al(100nm)의 구조로 제작하였으며, ITO의 표면 특성은 일반적인 특성 기술에 의해 연구되었다. SAM 처리된 소자는 SAM 처리하지 않은 소자에 비해 구동 전압, 발광 세기, 외부 양자 효율 등이 향상되었다. ITO의 SAM 처리 시간을 0/10/15/20/25분으로 하여 소자를 제작하였다. 15분간 SAM 처리한 소자는 SAM 처리하지 않은 소자에 비해 외부 양자 효율과 전류 효율이 2.6배 상승하였다. 본 실험을 통하여 ITO 표면 위에 SAM층을 삽입한 걸과, 구동 전압, 발광 세기, 효율 등이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

We have studied the electrical and optical of organic light-emitting diodes depending on hole size of crucible boat using BCP materials. The thickness of TPD, $Alq_3$ and BCP was manufactured 40 nm, 60 nm and 5 nm under a base pressure of $5\times10^{-6}$ Torr using at thermal evaporation, respectively. In order to investigate the optimal surface roughness of BCP, the BCP was thermally evaporated to be 0.8 nun, 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm and 1.5 mm as a hole size of crucible boat, respectively. As the experimental results, we found that the luminous efficiency and the external quantum efficiency of the device is superior to others when hole size of crucible boat using BCP is 1.2 mm. Also, compared to the ones from the devices having the hole size of crucible boat is 1.0 mm and 1.5mm layer, the external quantum efficiency were improved by 2.5 and 2.4 times.
