Degradation of PLEDs and a Way to Improve Device Performances

  • Published : 2004.06.24

Abstract

The most significant degradation problem of PLED has been described and new buffer layer material aimed for use as HTL in PLED to solve this issue has been studied. This approach has enabled the increase of the green device efficiency (${\sim}$2x) and lifetime (${\sim}$5-6x).
