IMML(Inorganic metal multi-layer) was used as cathode in the OLED devices to reduce the reflectance or ITO and increase the contrast ratio. Device structure was $ITO/{\alpha}-NPD/Alq_3:DCJTB/Alq_3/IMML/Al$. $Alq_3$ and DCJTB (4 - (dicyanomethylene) - 2 - ( 1 - propyls) 6 - methy 4H - pyrans) as host material lot red emission and red emitting guest material. IMML made three different layer: thin aluminum layer, aluminum layer doped with silicon monoxide, thick aluminum layer. The red OLED device with IMML showed the average reflectance of $4.97\%$, and then normal OLED with or without polarizer showed the average reflectance of $4.55\%$, $46\%$ at visible range from 380 nm to 780 nm. The brightness of OLED with IMML at 13 V was 5557 $cd/m^2$, and that of normal OLED with polarizer was 4872 $cd/m^2$. IMML could be the substitution for polarizer with same reflection, low cost, easy process in flat panel display market.

We have studied a conduction mechanism and equivalent circuit analysis in $Alq_3$ based Organic Light Emitting Diode. The conduction mechanism in organic light emitting diode can be classified into three regions; ohmic region, space-charge-limited current (SCLC) region and trap-charge-limited current (TCLC) region depending on the region of applied voltage. Equivalent circuit model of organic light emitting diode can be established using a parallel combination of resistance $R_p$ and capacitance $C_p$ with a small series resistance $R_s$.

Top-emission device has a merit of high aperture ratio and narrow emission spectrum compared to that of bottom-emission one. Emission spectra of top-emission organic light-emitting diodes depending on a layer thickness and view angle were analyzed using a theory of microcavity. Device structure was manufactured to be Al (100 nm)/TPD/$Alq_3$/LiF (0.5 nm)/Al (2 nm)/Ag (30 nm). N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'- di (m-tolyl)-benzidine (TPD) and tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminium (Alq3) were used as a hole-transport layer and emission layer, respectively. And a thickness of TPD and Alq3 layer was varied in a range of 40 nm~70 nm and 60 nm~110 nm, respectively. Angle-dependent emission spectrum out of the device was measured with a device fixed on a rotating plate. Since the top-emission device has a property of microcavity, it was observed that the emission spectrum shift to a longer wavelength region as the organic layer thickness increases, and to a shorter wavelength region as the view angle increases. Layer thickness and view-angle dependent emission spectra of the device were analyzed in terms of microcavity theory. A reflectivity of semitransparent cathode and optical path length were deduced.

In recent years, there has been highly interestedin pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method for fabrication of the organic thin films, as an alternative to conventional fabrication method such as vacuum evaporation and spin coating techniques. In this study, organic thin films of $Alq_3$ (aluminato-tris-8-hydroxyquinolate) and TPD for organic light emitting diodes (OLED) were deposited by PLD using KrF excimer ($\lambda$=278 nm) laser in nitrogen atmosphere. Deposited films were evaluated by photoluminescence(PL), Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) to study the effect of the laser and $N_2$ atmosphere parameters on the structural and optical properties.

We have investigated equivalent-circuit analysis of organic light-emitting diodes using frequency-dependent response of $ITO/Alq_3(60nm)/Al$ device at two different bias voltages. Complex impedance Z of the device was measured in the frequency range of 40Hz~1MHz. A Cole-Cole plot shows that there are two dielectric relaxations at the bias below turn-on voltage, and one relaxation at the bias above turn-on voltage. We are able to interpret the frequency-dependent response in terms of equivalent-circuit model of contact resistance $R_s$ in series with parallel combination of resistance $R_p$ and capacitance $C_p$. We have obtained contact resistance $R_s$ around $90{\Omega}$, mainly from the ITO anode.

ITO/N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di(m-tolyl)-benzidine(TPD)/Tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato Aluminum $(Alq_3)/Al$ 구조에서 정공 수송층 TPD와 발광충 $Alq_3$를 각각 두께 변화에 따라 Agilent 4294A, Precision Impedance Analyzer를 이용하여 주파수에 의존하는 저항성 특성과 용량성 특성을 연구하였다. 측정 결과 주파수가 증가할수록 저항성 특성은 감소함을 보였고 용량성 특성은 감소하다가 다시 증가하는 특성을 보였다. TPD와 $Alq_3$의 두께가 각각 70[nm], 30[nm]일 때 저주파 영역에서는 가장 낮은 저항성 특성이 보이다가 고주파 영역에서는 가장 높은 특성을 확인하였다. 또한 용량성 특성은 저주파 영역에서는 가장 높은 특성이 보이다가 고주파영역에서 두께 변화에 상관없이 거의 일치함을 확인하였다.

We has been synthesized $(POB)_{2}Ir(pic)$ as a red emitting materials and evaluated in the organic light emitting diodes (OLED). The layer of $Alq_3$ doped with $(POB)_{2}Ir(pic)$ as emitters has been demonstrated. The structure of the device is ITO/ NPB (40 nm) / $Zn(HPB)_2$ (40 nm)/ $Alq_3$ : $(POB)_{2}Ir(pic)$ (30 nm) / LiF / Al. We varied the doped rate of $(POB)_{2}Ir(pic)$. The doped rate is 0.4 %, 0.6%, 0.8 and 1.2%, respectively. When the doped rate of the $Alq_3$:$ Ir(POB)_{2}(pic)$ was 0.6%, white emission is achieved. The Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of the white emission are (0.316, 0.331) at an applied voltage of 10.75V.

Hole transporting polymer(poly［N-(p-diphenylamine)phenylmethacrylamide］, PDPMA) was doped with nile red dye at various concentrations to study the influence of doping on the energy transfer during light emitting processes. Organic LEDs composed of ITO/blend(PDPMA -nile red)/ Alq$_3$/Al as well as thin films of blend(PDPMA -nile red)/ Alq$_3$ were manufactured for investigating photoluminescence, electroluminescence, and current-voltage characteristics. Atomic Force Microscopy was also used to observe surface morphology of the blend films. It was found that such doping. significantly influences the efficiency of the energy transfer from the Alq$_3$ layer to blended layer and the optical/electrical properties could be optimized by choosing the right concentration of the dye molecule. The results also showed a interesting correlation with the morphological aspect, i.e. the optimum luminescence at the concentration with the least surface roughness. When the concentration of nile red was 0.8 wt%, the maximum energy transfer could be achieved.

유기발광소자의 주파수 응답 특성은 계면에서의 특성을 파악하는데 유요한 도구이다. 온 연구는 유기발광소자의 재료로 널리 알려진 $Alq_3$를 이용하여 소자를 제작한 후, 주파수 응답 특성을 이용하여 $Alq_3$의 등가회로를 해석하였다. 또 온도에 따른 용량성분을 분석하여 $Alq_3$에 인가된 전압에 따라 용량성분의 변화를 살펴보았다. 용량성분의 변화는 낮은 주파수 영역에서는 나타나지 않다가, 높은 주파수 영역에서 온도에 따라 미묘하게 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있다. 이는 낮은 주파수 영역에서 높은 주파수 영역으로 변화하면서 소자 내의 주된 성분이 저항성분에서 용량성분으로 변화하는 것을 의미하며 높은 주파수에서 온도에 따른 용량성분의 변화를 찾을 수 있었다.

We have investigated the effect of organic thin film on the driving voltage of OLED (organic light emitting diode) by inserting a 5 nm thick 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP) or triphenylphosphineoxide ($Ph_3PO$) between tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum ($Alq_3$) electron transport layer and 4,4'-bis(2,2'-diphyenylvinyl)-1,1'-biphenyl (DPVBi) emission layer. The device with 5 nm thick $Ph_3PO$ layer exhibited higher maximum current efficiency and lower driving voltage than the device with BCP layer, resulting from better electron injection from $Alq_3$ to DPVBi in the device with $Ph_3PO$ layer.
