Feasibility test for radical reactions in organic light emitting diode(OLED) has been applied on OLED consisting of hole transport layer(HTL) and electron transport layer(ETL). Organic molecules such as 4,4',-Bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino] biphenyl(NPD) and 4,4',4"-tris(3-methylphenylphenylamino)triphenylamine(m-MTDATA) are chosen for hole transport layer(HTL) and Bathocuproine(BCP) for electron transport layer(ETL) in this study. Informations on energy and shape of frontier orbitals and data on radical reactions of simple aromatics from semiconductor($TiO_2$) photocatalysis have provided basis for determining feasibility for radical reactions in OLED. The outcome of our feasibility test would be useful in designing optimum molecule for organic layer with a view to extending the lifetime of OLED.

Highly efficient organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs) based on 4,7- diphenyl-1, 10- phenanthroline (BPhen) as the electron transport layer (ETL), tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum ($Alq_3$) as the emission layer (EML) and N,$\acute{N}$-bis-[1-naphthy(-N,$\acute{N}$diphenyl-1,1´-biphenyl-4,4´-diamine)] (NPB) as the hole transport layer (HTL) were developed. The typical device structure was glass substrate/ ITO/ NPB/$Alq_3$/ BPhen/ LiF/ Al. Since BPhen possesses a considerable high electron mobility of $5\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;cm^2\;V^{-1}\;s^{-1}$, devices with BPhen as ETL can realize an extremely high luminous efficiency. By optimizing the thickness of both HTL and ETL, we obtained a highly efficient OLED with a current efficiency of 6.80 cd/A and luminance of $1361\;cd/m^2$ at a current density of $20\;mA/cm^2$. This dramatic improvement in the current efficiency has been explained on the principle of charge balance.

Organic electroluminescence devices (ELD) with hetero-junction structure were fabricated utilizing poly(p-phenylne vinylene) (PPV) as emitting layer and electron transport layer (ETL). 2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) was used as an electron transport agent. Copolymers with stilbene type comonomers, such as poly(styrene-co-PVTS), poly(styrene-co-MeO-PVTS) and poly(styrene-co-MeO-ST) were synthesized to be used as a matrix polymer to disperse electron transport agent (PBD). Among the hetero-junction EL devices fabricated with the above materials, the device with poly(styrene-co-PVTS) as matrix polymer for ETL gave the highest luminance ($120.7cd/m^2$, 13 V). EL devices made with poly(styrene-co-MeO-PVTS) or poly(styrene-co-MeO-ST) matrix exhibited lower luminance than the one with polystyrene matrix and the single layer EL (ITO/PPV/Mg) device.

본 연구에서는 ETL층으로 널리 알려져 있는 PBD(2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl) -1.3,4oxadiazole)를 HBL(Hole-blocking layer) 물질로 이용 하고 Nile red를 사용하여 적색 발광의 EL(electroluminescence) 소자를 제작 평가하였다. 일반적인 유기 EL 소자의 구조인 Anode/HTL(Hole Transport Layer)/ETL(Electron Transport Layer)/Cathode로 이루어져 있다. 여기에 HTL과 ETL사이에 HBL를 추가하여 EL 소자의 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있으면, 이러한 구조의 최종 소자를 제작 EML(emitting layer; Nile red)의 두께 및 임계전압을 달리 하여 소자 의 특성을 평가 연구 하였다.

We have developed low voltage driving white organic light emitting diode with new electron transport layer. The with light emission was realized with a yellow dopant, rubrene and blue-emitting DPVBi layer. The new electron transport layer results in very high current density at low voltage, causing a reduction of driving voltage. The device with new electron transport layer shows a brightness of 1000 cd/m2 at 4.3 V.

The core/shell of nanowires (NWs) with Cu-doped CdSe quantum dots were fabricated as an electron transport layer (ETL) for perovskite solar cells, based on ZnO/TiO2 arrays. We presented CdSe with Cu2+ dopants that were synthesized by a colloidal process. An improvement of the recombination barrier, due to shell supplementation with Cu-doped CdSe quantum dots. The enhanced cell steady state was attributable to TiO2 with Cu-doped CdSe QD supplementation. The mechanism of the recombination and electron transport in the perovskite solar cells becoming the basis of ZnO/TiO2 arrays was investigated to represent the merit of core/shell as an electron transport layer in effective devices.

The Improved stability of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) containing lithium-quinolate (Liq) as the ETL doping material is investigated. The lifetime could be improved by threefold using the Liq-doped ETL structure. The improvement was attributed to the Liq-doped ETL, which improved hole-electron balance and has a good electrical stability. Additionally, when the Liq doped device was combined with an Mg/Al cathode, the OLED produced a longer lifetime than other device.

We have developed low voltage operating OLEDs with new electron transport layer. The device having a structure of ITO/2TNATA/HTL:Rubrene(1%)/HTL /new ETL/LiF/Al have been used. The voltage for achieving $1,000\;cd/m^2$ was 4.1 V, whereas the turn on voltage for the brightness of $1\;cd/m^2$ was 2.8 V. This high luminance at low operating voltage is caused by the high current density, resulting from high electron conduction property of the new electron transport layer.

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have gained attention for applications in quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs) due to their high photoluminescence quantum yield, narrow emission spectra, and tunable bandgap. Nevertheless, non-radiative recombination induced by electron and hole imbalance deteriorates the device efficiency and stability. To overcome the problem, researchers have been trying to enhance hole transport properties of hole transporting layers (HTL) and/or slow down the electron injection in electron transport layer (ETL). Here, we summarize two approaches: i) development of interfacial materials between QD and ETL (or HTL); ii) engineering of HTL by blending or multi-layer approaches.
