Abstract

The $O_2$ plasma treatment is used as improvement of ITO roughness glass for organic light-emitting diodes and organic photovoltaic cells. This study examined the effect of the electrical properties of OLED according to variation of $O_2$ plasma power. In experiment, we found that the electrical characteristics of device are excellent when the power of $O_2$ plasma is 250 W. And when the power of $O_2$ plasma increases over 250 W, the electrical properties were getting worse. $O_2$ plasma treatment not only prevents the diffusion of indium, a metal constituent, to an organic layer but also plays a significant role as improvement of ITO roughness. By considering organic light-emitting diodes treating $O_2$ plasma, it could contribute to the improvement of the efficiency of the device.
