Top emission OLED 소자의 안정성 위하여 Parylene을 보호층으로 적용하였다. 고분자화 방법을 이용하여 증착된 Parylene은 진공공정상온에서 증착가능하기 때문에 열에 의한 OLED 소자의 열화를 방지하며 높은 광투과율과 우수한 투습습성에 의하여 고효율 장수명을 OLED 소자에 적합하다. Parylene 5 ${\mu}m$ 의 광투과율은 90 %이상 측정 되었으며 투습율은 0.4849 $g/m^2day$로 측정되었다. Parylene의 보호층로서의 영향을 살펴보기 위하여, 보호층이 형성된 소자와 보호층이 형성되지 않은 소자를 제작하여 대기중에서 그 특성을 측정 비교하였다. 두 제작된 top emission OLED 소자는 최대 휘도가 1000 $cd/m^2$ 이상 측정되었으며, parylene 보호층 공정에 의한 소자의 구동 특성 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 대기중에서 초기휘도 200 $cd/m^2$로 측정된 parylene 보호층이 형성된 소자는 수명이 5 이었고, 보호층이 형성되지 않는 소자의 수명에 비하여 2배 이상 증가하였다.

We studied emission characteristics for blue fluorescent dual-side emission OLED with Al cathode thickness variation. In the bottom emission OLED of Al cathode with 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 150 nm thickness, maximum luminance showed 36.1, 8,130, 9,300, 12,000, 13,000, and $12,890cd/m^2$, and maximum current efficiency showed 2, 8.8, 10, 10.5, 10.8, and 11.4 cd/A, respectively. The emission characteristics of the bottom emission seemed to be improved according to decrease of resistance as the thickness of Al cathode increase. In the top emission OLED of Al cathode with 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 nm thickness, maximum luminance showed 4.3, 351, 131, 88.6, and $33.2cd/m^2$, and maximum current efficiency showed 0.23, 0.38, 0.21, 0.16, and 0.09 cd/A, respectively. It yielded the highest maximum luminance and maximum current efficiency in Al cathode thickness 15 nm. It showed a tendency to decrease as the thickness of Al cathode increase. The reason for this is due to decrease of transmittance with increasing of Al cathode thickness. The electroluminescent spectra of bottom and top emission OLED were not change.

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.

The voltage drop due to the thin cathode film at the large size top emission OLED panel was successfully compensated with making electrical contact between thin cathode and anode auxiliary electrode by 355nm wavelength of laser. It was found that the luminance uniformity dramatically increased from around 15% to more than 80% through this electrical compensation between thin cathode and anode auxiliary electrode. Moreover, the removing process for EL materials on the anode auxiliary electrode process by laser was very reliable and stable. Therefore, it is thought that the EL removal method using laser to make electrical contacts is very appropriate to mass production for such a large size top emission OLEDs to obtain high uniformity of luminance.

Dopant and host molecules for charge transport layer in OLED have been developed. They enable implementation of the PIN OLED technology in mass production. We review the status of PIN OLED with main focus on top-emission structures and operation stability at elevated temperatures. A green phosphorescent top-emission device with 2.5 V operating voltage and 90 lm/W at 1000 $cd/m^2$ is presented. For a red top-emission device, lifetime exceeding 100,000 h at 500 $cd/m^2$ initial brightness is reported. Operational stability at $80^{\circ}C$ has been investigated. A lifetime of 17,000 h at 500 $cd/m^2$ has been achieved. Finally, we comment on further reduction of the operating voltage in OLED.

To study emission characteristics for dual-emission tandem organic light emitting display (OLED), we fabricated blue fluorescent OLED according to thickness variation of $MoO_x$ as charge generation layer and Al as cathode. The bottom emission characteristics of OLED with $MoO_x$ 2, 3, 5 nm thickness showed threshold voltage of 9, 7, 9 V, maximum current emission efficiency of 19.32, 23.18, 15.44 cd/A and luminance of $1,000cd/m^2$ at applied voltage of 17.6, 13.2, 16.5 V, respectively. The top emission characteristics of OLED with $MoO_x$ 2, 3, 5 nm thickness indicated threshold voltage of 13, 10, 13 V, maximum current emission efficiency of 0.17, 0.23, 0.16 cd/A and luminance of $50cd/m^2$ at applied voltage of 22.6, 16.5, 20.1 V, respectively. In case of thicker or thinner than $MoO_x$ of 3 nm, the emission characteristics were decreased because of mismatching of electron and hole in emission layer. The bottom emission characteristics of OLED with Al 15, 20, 25 nm thickness showed threshold voltage of 8, 8, 7 V, maximum current emission efficiency of 18.42, 22.98, 23.18 cd/A and luminance of $1000cd/m^2$ at applied voltage of 16.2, 13.9, 13.2 V, respectively. The reduction of threshold voltage and increase of maximum current emission efficiency are caused by the increase of current injection according to increase of Al cathode thickness. The top emission characteristics of OLED with Al 15, 20, 25 nm thickness indicated threshold voltage of 7, 7, 8 V, maximum emission luminance of 371, 211, $170cd/m^2$, respectively. The top emission OLED of Al cathode with 15 nm thickness showed maximum luminance and it decreased at thickness of 20 nm. These phenomena are caused by the decrease of intensity of emitted light by reduction of optical transmittance according to increase of Al cathode thickness.

Though bottom emission AM-OLED has advantages in respect of mass production, the bottom emission type is underrated due to its low aperture ratio and low color gamut, compared with top emission type. In this paper, we demonstrate that the color gamut up to 89 % can be simply achieved by depositing dielectric multilayers, whose thicknesses are determined using an optical simulation program, prior to formation of Si layer.

OLED 소자는 발광 방향에 따라 Bottom Emission 방식과 Top Emission 방식으로 나뉜다. 이 중 대면적 OLED TV 적용에 개구율이 더 높은 Top Emission방식을 선호하는 추세이다. 높은 개구율을 가진 Top Emission OLED소자를 위해서는 투명하고 전도성이 높은 캐소드가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 Themal Evaporation 시스템을 이용하여 증착한 $SnO_2/Ag-Pd-Cu(APC)/SnO_2$ hybrid 전극의 특성을 연구하고 Oxide/Metal/Oxide(OMO) hybrid 박막의 bending mechanism을 제시하였다. base pressure는 $1{\times}10^{-6}Torr$로 고정하고 $SnO_2$ 박막은 0.34A / 0.32V, APC 박막은 0.46A / 0.40V의 power로 성막하였다. APC와 $SnO_2$의 두께를 변수로 OMO 전극을 제작하였고 그 전기적, 광학적 특성을 Hall measurement, UV/Visible spectroscopy을 이용하여 분석하고 Figure of merit 값을 바탕으로 최적 두께를 설정하였다. UPS(Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy) 분석으로 $SnO_2/APC/SnO_2$ 전극의 일함수을 통해 투명 cathode로 쓰였을 때 $SnO_2$ 층이 buffer layer역할을 함을 확인하였다. XPS(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)를 이용하여 정성분석과 정량분석을 하였고 OMO hybrid 전극의 bending mechanism 연구를 위해 다양한 bending test (Inner/Outer dynamic fatigue test, twisting test, rolling test)를 진행하였다. 물리적 힘이 가해진 OMO hybrid 전극의 표면과 구조는 FE-SEM(Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope) 분석을 통해서 확인할 수 있었다.

Effects of a dielectric capping layer on the luminous characteristics of top emitting organic light emitting diodes (TOLEDs) have been analyzed using a classical electromagnetic theory. Special attention was given to the influence of the cavity length on the effectiveness of the capping layer. The luminance characteristics of the TOLEDs influenced by the combined effects of the cavity length and the capping layer thickness. Furthermore, these combined effects also modify the emission spectrum and pattern of the TOLEDs, which result in the improvement of total luminance of the device, but no significant change in the device out-coupling efficiency.
