A charge trapping host structure was developed to improve the light-emitting efficiency of green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes. N, N'-dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzene(mCP) and a spirobifluorene based triplet host(PHl) were co-deposited as hosts in the emitting layer and the device performance was examined according to the composition mCP and PH1. The results showed that the quantum efficiency could be improved by 30 % using a mixed host of mCP and PH1.

Quantum-dot materials have introduced novel applications in organic light-emitting diodes and solar cells. The size controllability and structure modifications have continuously been upgrading the applicability to optoelectronic and flat-panel displays. In particular, quantum-dot organic light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) are a device driven through the electrical field applied to the electrical diodes. The QLEDs are affected by the constituent materials and the corresponding device structures. Conventionally, the electrical properties are characterized only in terms of dc-based current-voltage characteristics. The dynamic change in light-emitting diodes should be characterized in emitted and non-emitted states. Therefore, the frequency-dependent impedance can offer different information on the electrical performance in QLED. The current work reports an auxiliary information on the electrical and optical features originating from quantum-dot organic light-emitting diodes. The empirical characterizations are discussed towards an experimental tool in optimizing the light-emitting diodes.

The improvement of the electron injection is of critical importance for obtaining efficient and stable organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs). Here, we report some of our recent results on the development of new cathode interlayer materials for OLEDs. Some of our new materials show performance superior to that of LiF.

High efficiency deep blue and pure white phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes were developed using a new deep blue phosphorescent dopant, tris((3,5-difluoro-4-cyanophenyl)pyridine) iridium (FCNIr). A high quantum efficiency of 9.1 % with a color coordinate of (0.15, 0.16) at 1,000 cd/$m^2$ was obtained in the deep blue device and a high quantum efficiency of 15.2 % with a color coordinate (0.30, 0.32) was obtained in the pure white organic light-emitting diodes. The quantum efficiency of the pure white device is the best quantum efficiency value reported in the pure white device up to now.

We have investigated dielectric properties depending on bias voltage in organic light-emitting diodes using 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum $(Alq_3)$ as an electron transport and emissive material. We analyzed the dielectric properties of organic light-emitting diodes using impedance of characteristics. Impedance characteristics was measured complex impedance Z and phase $\theta$ in the frequency range of 40 Hz to $10^8$ Hz. We obtained complex electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, and loss tangent $(tan\delta)$ of the device at room temperature. From these analyses, we are able to interpret a conduction mechanism and dielectric properties contributed by an interfacial and orientational polarization.

We have seen the effects of buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes using poly(N-vinylcarbazole)(PVK). Polymer PVK buffer layer was made using static spin-casting method. Two device structures were made; one is ITO/TPD/Alq3/Al as a reference and the other is ITO/PVK/TPD/Alq3/Al to see the effects of buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes. Current-voltage characteristics, luminance-voltage characteristics and luminous efficiency were measured with a variation of spin-casting speeds. We have obtained an improvement of luminous efficiency by a factor of two and half when the PVK buffer layer is used.

Lifetime study of blue phosphorescent and thermally activated delayed fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes was carried out to understand the dominant degradation process during electrical operation of the devices. Doping concentration dependence of the phosphorescent and thermally activated delayed fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes was studied, which demonstrated long lifetime at low doping concentration in the phosphorescent devices and at high doping concentration in the thermally activated delayed fluorescent devices. Detailed mechanism study of the two devices described that triplet-triplet annihilation is the main degradation process of phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes, whereas triplet-polaron annihilation is the key degradation factor of the thermally activated delayed fluorescent devices.

A functional polyethylene terephthalate substrate to increase light extraction efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes is studied. We formed nano-structured PET surfaces by controlling the power, gas, and exposure time of the linear ion-beam. The haze of the polyethylene terephthalate can be controlled from 0.2% to 76.0% by changing the peak-to-valley roughness of nano structure by adjusting the exposure cycle. The treated polyethylene terephthalate shows average haze of 76.0%, average total transmittance of 86.6%. The functional PET increases the current efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes by 47% compared to that of organic light-emitting diode on bare polyethylene terephthalate. In addition to polyethylene terephthalate with light extraction performance, by conducting additional research on the development of functional PET with anti-reflection and barrier performance, it will be possible to develop flexible substrates suitable for organic light-emitting diodes lighting and transparent flexible displays.

New inverted architecture of a hybrid inorganic-organic light-emitting diode, utilizing ZrO2 electron-injecting layer, is presented. The thickness of the ZrO2, as well as the annealing of the light-emitting polymer, is found critical to obtain good performance. A range of light-emitting polymers is shown to operate efficiently in the proposed architecture.

In this study, we designed color of tunable and high efficient organic materials using the quantum dynamics and the semi-empirical calculation, and applied this results to the fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes. Also we optimized the molecular structure of phosphorescent materials and the energy transfer from a host to a dye which makes organic light-emitting diodes improve. Using quantum dynamics method, the molecular structures of ligand only and the whole metal chelate were optimized, and these energy levels were calculated. From this test results, we could understand the emission mechanism of phosphors with various ligands as well as design the proper ligands reducing the T-T annihilation and the carrier lifetime. We also could design ligands with various colors using this test method.
