Recently, displays play an important role in quickly delivering a lot of information. Research is underway to reproduce various colors close to natural colors. In particular, research is being conducted on the light emitting structure of displays as a method of expressing accurate and rich colors. Due to the advancement of technology and the miniaturization of devices, the need for small but high visibility displays with high efficiency in energy consumption continues to increase. Efforts are being made in various ways to improve OLED efficiency, such as improving carrier injection, structuring devices that can efficiently recombine electrons and holes in a numerical balance, and developing materials with high luminous efficiency. In this study, the electrical and optical properties of the seven-layer stacked structure rear-light emitting blue OLED device were analyzed. 4,4'-Bis(carazol-9-yl)biphenyl:Ir(difppy)2(pic), a blue light emitting material that is easy to manufacture and can be highly efficient and brightened, was used. OLED device manufacturing was performed via the in-situ method in a high vacuum state of 5×10-8 Torr or less using a Sunicel Plus 200 system. The experiment was conducted with a seven-layer structure in which an electron or hole blocking layer (EBL or HBL) was added to a five-layer structure in which an electron or hole injection layer (EIL or HIL) or an electron or hole transport layer (ETL or HTL) was added. Analysis of the electrical and optical properties showed that the device that prevented color diffusion by inserting an EBL layer and a HBL layer showed excellent color purity. The results of this study are expected to greatly contribute to the R&D foundation and practical use of blue OLED display devices.

고효율 저전력 고휘도를 장점으로 가지고 있는 OLED의 개선을 위하여 수많은 재료와 기술이 연구되어 왔다. 전기적 손실의 방지를 위하여 다양한 재료가 연구되고 있지만 그 중에서도 가장 각광받는 것은 그래핀이다. 그래핀(graphene)은 탄소원자가 육각형 벌집 모양 배열의 격자구조를 가지는 원자 단층 두께의 물질이다. 그래핀은 에너지와 역격자의 k 벡터가 선형적으로 비례하며 전도띠(conduction band)와 가전자띠(valence band)가 한 점에서 만나는 구조를 가지는 특징으로 인해 매우 빠른 전하 이동도(Mobility)를 가지고 있다. 이와 같은 그래핀의 특성을 이용하여 전극 층으로 이용함으로써 소자 특성의 개선이 가능할 것으로 예상되었다. $1{\times}1$ inch Glass에 ITO 대신에 그래핀을 증착한 후 Spin coater를 사용하여 PEDOT을 각각 1,000 rpm, 2,000 rpm으로 도포 하였다. 그 후 HTL (Hole transport latey), ETL (Electron-transport layer), EML (Emissive layer), EIL (Electron injection layer)를 순차적으로 증착 하여 소자를 제작하였다. 발광층에는 유기물질 Alq3를 사용하여 녹색광을 방출하도록 하였다. Spin coater의 rpm에 따라 전도성 고분자의 두께가 결정이 되는데, rpm이 높을수록 두께가 얇으며, 얇을수록 소비전력 효율이 낮다. 하지만 전류밀도 특성이 균일하지 못한 것을 확인하였다. 휘도 효율 특성은 PEDOT의 두께가 얇을수록 동일한 전압에서 휘도가 낮은것을 확인 하였다. 또한 ITO를 이용한 동일 공정의 OLED와 비교하였을 때 상대적으로 낮은 휘도와 전류 효율특성을 보였지만, 전류밀도는 상대적으로 그래핀이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 그래핀 소자의 개선이 이루어진다면 더욱 높은 효율과 휘도를 낼 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper we fabricated a test panel for AMOLED on glass and PET substrate. The test panel consisted of the various size of OTFTs and OLEDs and the current driving capability of OTFTs for OLEDs has been investigated. OTFTs were made of the inverted staggered structure and employed polyvinylphenol (PVP) as the gate insulator and pentacene thin film as the active layer. The OTFTs produced the filed effect mobility of $0.3 cm^2/V.sec$ and on/off current ratio of $10^5$. OLEDs consisted of TPD for HTL and Alq3 for EML with 35nm thick, generating green monochrome light. We found that OTFT with channel length of 70${\mu}m$ and channel width of over 3.5mm provided the sufficient current to OLED to generate the luminescence of $0.3Cd/m^2$.

본 연구에서는 Host와 Dopant $Ir(ppy)_3$의 도핑 위치 변화에 따른 bottom emission 인광 OLED를 제작하여 발광 효율 및 특성을 분석하였다. 소자의 EML은 $Ir(ppy)_3/CBP$와 $CBP/Ir(ppy)_3$ 순으로 증착하여 제작하였다. $Ir(ppy)_3/CBP$은 낮은 구동 전압에서 큰 전류밀도와 큰 luminance을 측정하였고, 반대로 $CBP/Ir(ppy)_3$은 높은 구동 전압에서 $CBP/Ir(ppy)_3$은 큰 전류밀도와 큰 luminance가 측정되었다. 이는 $Ir(ppy)_3/CBP$에서 HTL과 EML 사이에 hole direct injection이 발생으로 Hole이 증가하지만 charge balance 불일치로 roll-off가 발생하고, $CBP/Ir(ppy)_3$에서 electron direct injection에 의한 electron 증가로 charge balance가 향상된다. EL spectrum 측정에서 $Ir(ppy)_3$은 파장 512nm 발광이 일어나고, CBP와 NPB은 각각 파장 380nm, 433nm로 분석된다. 각 물질의 triplet의 전달은 energy level이 큰 곳에서 작은 곳으로 전달되는데 이러한 이유로 전압에 따른 recombination zone 변화로 각 물질에서 나오는 파장의 intensity가 달라지는 것을 확인하였다. $Ir(ppy)_3/CBP$은 낮은 전류 밀도에서는 CBP의 영향으로 380nm 파장대가 크고, 높은 전류 밀도에서는 $Ir(ppy)_3$의 영향으로 512nm 파장대가 크게 나오는 것을 확인했고, $CBP/Ir(ppy)_3$에서는 낮은 전류 밀도에서 512nm 파장대가 커지고, 큰 전류 밀도에서는 CBP에서 NPB로의 triplet 에너지 전달의 증가로 433nm 파장대가 커지는 것을 확인하였다.

As preparing electrode for the OLED with the sputtering process, in order to be lower damage of the bottom organic layer and increase the life-time of the OLED, we prepared Al electrode for that by using Facing Targets Sputtering (FTS) system. Al electrode directly deposited on the cell (LiF/EML/HTL/Bottom electrode). Deposition condition was the working gas (Ar, Kr and Ar+Kr) and working gas pressure (1 and 6 mTorr). The film thickness and I-V curve of Al/cell were evaluated by a $\acute{a}$-step profiler and a semiconductor parameter (HP4156A) measurement. The thin film surface image was observed by a Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). In result, in comparison with about 11 [V] of the turn-on voltage of Al/cell with using the pure Ar gas, when Al thin film was deposited using the Ar-Kr mixture gas, the surface morphology was improved in some region and the turn-on voltage of Al/cell could be decreased to about 7 [V].

The study was performed to investigate the biological activity of Enteromorpha intestinalis. In order to examine its blood anti-coagulant effects, Enteromorpha intestinalis was extracted with cold water, methanol, hot water, HCl and NaOH. In general, the alkali extract of Enteromorpha intestinalis was approximately 17 times stronger than the control. The anti-cancer effects of select extracts(methanol, hot water, 0.1 N NaOH, 1 N NaOH) were determined in human melanoma cells(Bl6/F10), fibrosarcoma cells(HTl080) and breast cancer cells(MCF7) by MTT assay. With the treatment of 250 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of methanol extracts. HT1080, B16/F10 and MCF7 cell viabilities significantly decreased to 8.06%, 3.62% and 10.10%, respectively. Thus these results strongly support the possibie use of Enteromorpha intestinalis as a functional materials.

In order to investigate the emission characteristics of the phosphorescent white organic light-emitting diodes (PHWOLEDs) according to various hole transport layers (HTLs), PHWOLEDs composed of HTLs whose structure are NPB/TCTA, NPB/mCP and NPB/TCTA/mCP, two emissive layers (EMLs) which emit two-wavelengths of light (blue and red), and electron transport layer were fabricated. The applied voltage, power efficiency, and external quantum efficiency at a current density of $1 mA/cm^2$ for the fabricated PHWOLEDs were 7.5 V, 11.5 lm/W, and 15%, in case of NPB/mCP, 5 V, 14.8 lm/W, and 13.7%, in case of NPB/TCTA, and 5.5 V, 14.6 lm/W, and 15%, in case of NPB/TCTA/mCP in the hole transport layer, respectively. High emission efficiency can be obtained when the amount of hole injection from anode is balanced out by the amount of electron injection from the cathode to EML by using NPB/TCTA/mCP structured HTL.

Red color OLED has been fabricated by the doping method apply to CBP using co-evaporation, GDI4349 of phosphorescent dopant, and rubrene of fluorescent dopant. The OLED structure are multi-layer of ITO(150 nm)/ELM_HIL(50 nm)/ELM_HTL(30 nm)/CBP : Rubrene, GDI4349 (30 nm)/BAlq (30 nm)/LiF(0.7 nm)/Al (100 nm). Accomplished best result at 3 vol.% of rubrene when the OLEDs were made of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 vol.% doped rubrene. The highest efficiency of 7.2 cd/A was resulted at 8 vol.% of GDI4349 when the OLEDs were made among 5, 8, 11, 14 vol.% of GDI4349. Obviously, the best concentration of rubrene at 3 vol.% and changing GDI4349 concentration to 5, 8, 11, 14 vol.% OLED dramatically enhanced characteristic of resulted 10.7 cd/A at 8 vol.% of GDI4349. This result would understand to analyse as the emission efficiency increases by energy transport efficiency increase using GDI4349 energy transfer when rubrene absorbs the energy from CBP of fluorescences host.

Organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) or electroluminescent devices have attracted much attention because of their possible application as large-area light-emitting displays. Their structure was based on employing a multilayer device structure containing an emitting layer and a carrier transporting layer of suitable organic materials. In this study, several Tb complexes such as Tb(ACAC)$_3$(Phen), Tb(ACAC)$_3$(Phen-Cl) and Tb(TPB)$_3$(Phen) were synthesized and the photoluminescence(PL) and electroluminescence (EL) characteristics of their thin films were investigated by fabricating the devices having a structure of anode/HTL/terbium-oomplex/ETL/cathode, where TPD was used as an hole transporting and Alq$_3$ and TAZ-Si were used as an electron transporting materials. It was found that the photoluminescence(PL) and electroluminescence(EL) characteristics of these terbium complexes were dependent upon the ligands coordinated to terbium metal. Details on the explanation of electrical transport phenomena of the structure with I-V characteristics of the OLEDs using the trapped-charge-limited current(TCLC) model will be discussed.
