We have studied the effect of host materials on the electrophosphorescence properties by comparing three different host materials such as tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)-aluminum (III) $(Alq_3)$, bis(8-hydroxyquinoline)-zinc (II) $(Znq_2)$, and 4,4'-N,N' dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP) doped with a red-emissive phosphorescent dye, 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethyl-21H,23H-porphyrin platinum (II) (PtOEP). The EL spectra show a strong red emission (peak at 650 nm) from the triplet excited state of PtOEP and a very weak emission from an electron transport layer of $Alq_3$ and a hole transport layer of N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD). We find that the triplet exciton lifetime and the quantum efficiency decrease in the order of CBP, $Alq_3$, and $Znq_2$ host materials. The results are interpreted as a poor exciton confinement in $Alq_3$, and $Znq_2$ host compared with in CBP. Therefore, it is very important for the triplet-exciton confinement in the emissive layer for obtaining a high efficiency.

Vacuum deposited copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) was placed as a thin interlayer between indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode and a hole transporting layer (HTL) in a multi-layered, organic, light-emitting diode (OLEOs). The well-stacked CuPc layer increased the stability and efficiency of the devices. Thermal annealing after CuPc deposition and magnetic field treatment during CuPc deposition were performed to obtain a stacked-CuPc layer; the former increased the stacking density of the CuPc molecules and the alignment of the CuPc film. Thermal annealing at about 100$^{circ}C$ increased the current flow through the CuPc layer by over 25$\%$. Surface roughness decreased from 4.12 to 3.65 nm and spikes were lowered at the film surface as well. However, magnetic field treatment during deposition was less effective than thermal treatment. Eventually, a higher luminescence at a given voltage was obtained when a thermally-annealed CuPc layer was placed in the present, multi-layered, ITO/CuPc/NPD/Alq3/LiF/AI devices. Thermal annealing at about 100$^{circ}C$ for 3 h produced the most efficient, multi-layered EL devices in the present study.

We studied emitting properties of organic electroluminescent devices fabricated using the spin-coating and Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique. The LB technique has the advantage of precise control of the thickness better than spin-coating method. LB monolayer of poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) was deposited 27 layers onto the indium-tin-oxide(ITO) substrate as Y-type films by the vertical dipping method. In the absorption spectra, the λ$\_$max/ of P3HT-AA LB films and of spin-coating films showed about at 510, 545 and 590 nm corresponding to 2.43, 2.28, 2.10eV. And we observed that the turn-on voltage of devices deposited by LB method(10V) was higher than that of spin-coating method(8.5V) in voltage-current-luminance characteristic. In the logV-logJ characteristics of ITO/P3HT-AA LB/Al device, we confirmed that El device fabricated by LB method follows three conduction mechanisms: ohmic, space-charge-limited current(SCLC) conduction and trapped-carrier-limited space-charge current(TCLC) conduction.

We have fabricated an air stable blue emitting organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs) with a carbazole based emitting molecule, Bis(3-N-ethylcarbazolyl)terephthalidene (BECP). Our device emits strong blue at 472 nm with the luminance efficiency of near 1 lm/W at a voltage and current density of 8 V and 5.7 mA/cm2, respectively, reaching the brightness up to 5000 cd/m2 at 270 mA/cm2. Finally, in order to tune the emission color from blue to green, we have used Bis(3-N-ethylcarbazolyl)cynoterephthalidene (BECCP), a derivative of BECP by adding cyno group in side chain, and compared the electroluminscence (EL) of OLEDS prepared by BECCP to that of BECP based OLEDs.

This study was based on organic electroluminescence display. Especially, DPAVBi, AVBi and DPVBi for the emitting materials were synthesized by Wittig, Wittig-Horner reaction. This reaction was conducted between phosphorous ylide and 4-(diphenylamino)benzaldehyde, 9-anthraldehyde and benzophenone. The structural property of reaction products were analyzed by FT-IR, $^1H-NMR$ spectroscopy and thermal stability, reactivity and PL property were analyzed by melting point, yield and emission spectrum, respectvely. The photoluminescence spectra of a pure DPAVBi, AVBi and DPVBi were observed at approximately 445nm, 484nm and 450nm, respectively. In this study, it was known that DPAVBi, AVBi, DPVBi had a different reaction properties according to stability of ${\alpha}$-position carbonyl group of the aldehyde, ketone.

A water-soluble conducting polymer (CPP400 Paste) containing a derivative of polythiophene with several dopant was investigated as an anode material for organic electroluminescent devices. The device of ITO/CPP 400 Paste/TPD/$Alq_3$/Li:Al was fabricated, where CPP 400 Paste films were prepared by spin coating and TPD and $Alq_3$, films were prepared by vacuum evaporation. It was found that the turn-on voltage, current density, and luminance of the devices were dependent upon the thickness of CPP 400 Paste film in the Electroluminescent and current-voltage characteristics of the devices. This phenomena were explained by the energy level diagram of the device with the energy levels of the CPP400 Paste obtained by cyclic voltammetric method.

The distribution and inter-annual variation of nutrients (N, P, Si) and dissolved/particulate organic carbon were investigated in the equatorial thermocline ridge ($7^{\circ}{\sim}11.5^{\circ}N$, $131.5^{\circ}W$) of the northeast Pacific. From the Oceanic Nino Index and Multivariate ENSO Index provided by NOAA, normal condition was observed in July 2003 and August 2005 on the aspect of global climate/ocean change. However, La Ni$\~{n}$a and El Ni$\~{n}$o episodes occurred in July 2007 and August 2009, respectively. Thermocline ridge in the study area was located at $9^{\circ}N$ in July 2003, $8^{\circ}N$ in August 2005, $10^{\circ}N$ in July 2007, and $10.5^{\circ}N$ in August 2009 under the influence of global climate/ocean change and surface current system (North Equatorial Counter Current and North Equatorial Current) of the northeast Pacific. Maximum depth integrated values (DIV) of nutrients in the upper layer (0~100 m depth range) were shown in July 2007 (mean 21.12 gN/$m^2$, 4.27 gP/$m^2$, 33.72 gSi/$m^2$) and higher variability of DIV in the equatorial thermocline ridge was observed at $10^{\circ}N$ during the study periods. Also, maximum concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the upper 50 m depth layer was observed in July 2007 (mean $107.48{\pm}14.58\;{\mu}M$), and particulate organic carbon (POC, mean $9.42{\pm}3.02\;{\mu}M$) was similar to that of DOC. Nutrient concentration in the surface layer increased with effect of upwelling phenomenon in the equatorial thermocline ridge and La Ni$\~{n}$a episode, which had formed in the central Pacific. This process also resulted in the increasing of organic carbon concentration (DOC and POC) in the surface layer. From these results, it is suggested that spatial and temporal variation of chemical and biological factors were generated by physical processes in the equatorial thermocline ridge.

최근 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 유기박막트랜지스터 (Organic Thin Film Transisto., OTFT)는 현재 사용되고 있는 무기물 트랜지스터에 비해 가볍고 낮은 공정 온도와 가격으로 인하여 대면적 LCD, EL, smart card의 능동구동소자로서 적용이 가능하다고 알려져 있다[1,2]. 하지만 현재 연구되고 있는 단분자 유기물을 사용한 OTFT는 비교적 높은 온도에서 소자의 각 구성요소를 증착해야 되므로 여전히 복잡한 공정이 필요하며, 활성층으로 쓰이는 유기물과 금속전극의 계면문제로 전기적 특성이 떨어진다[3].

Polyazomethine type conjugated copolymers containing phenanthridine units, poly(PZ-PTI), were synthesized by Schiff-base reaction. This new conjugated copolymer exhibited improved solubility in common organic solvents due to the presence of alkyl side chains as well as phenanthridine groups. Double layer (ITO/poly(PZ-PTI)/$Alq_3$/Mg) light emitting diode (LED) exhibited enhanced EL emission and efficiency compared to that of single layer (ITO/poly(PZ-PTI)/Mg) LED. With increasing the thickness of $Alq_3$ layer in double layer (ITO/poly(PZ-PTI)/$Alq_3$/Mg) LED the emission peak gradually shifted to the single layer (ITO/$Alq_3$/Mg) LED, confirming good hole transporting behaviour of the synthesized conjugated copolymer.
