We have studied an organic layer and semitransparent Al electrode thickness dependent optical properties and microcavity effects for top-emission organic light-emitting diodes. Manufactured top-emission device structure is Al(100nm)/TPD(xnm)/Alq(ynm)/LiF(0.5nm)/Al(25nm). While a thickness of total organic layer was varied from 85nm to 165n, a ratio of those two layers was kept to be about 2:3. Semitransparent Al cathode was varied from 20nm to 30nm for the device with an organic layer total thickness of 140nm. As the thickness of total organic layer increases, the emission spectra show a shift of peak wavelength from 490nm to 580nm, and the full width at half maxima from 90nm to 35nm. The emission spectra show a blue shift as the view angle increases. Emission spectra depending on a transmittance of semitransparent cathode show a shift of peak wavelength from 515nm to 593nm. At this time, the full width at half maximum was about to be a constant of 50nm. With this kind of microcavity effect, we were able to control the emission spectra from the top-emission organic light-emitting diodes.

The authors have demonstrated white oraganic light-emitting diodes (WOLED) using 1,4-bis[2-(4'-diphenylaminobiphenyl-4-yl)vinyl]benzene as fluorescent blue emitter and iridium(III) bis(5-acetyl-2-phenylpyridinato-N,C2') acetylacetonate as phosphorescent red emitter. The optimized WOLED using red host material as bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinato) -4-phenylphenolate exhibited proper color stability in comparison with the control device using 4,4'-N,N'-dicarbazole-biphenyl as red host. The white device showed a maximum luminance of 21100 $cd/m^2$ at 14 V, luminous efficiency of 9.7 cd/A at 20 $mA/cm^2$, and Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage ($CIE_{x,y}$)coordinates of (0.32, 0.34) at 1000 $cd/m^2$. The devices also exhibited the color shift with ${\Delta}CIE_{x,y}$ coordinates of ${\pm}$ (0.01,0.01) from 100 to 20000 $cd/m^2$.

We investigated light extraction film based on polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) for application in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). At least 30 seconds of direct UV irradiation process for curing PDLC film on a bottom-emitting OLEDs was successfully achieved without damage on the intrinsic properties of the OLED. We demonstrated that high haze and transmittance can be tuned simultaneously by controlling the UV curing time. By adding PDLC as an external layer without any additional treatment, the light scattering and extraction is increased. Consequently, a PDLC scattering film with 89.8% and 59.9 of total transmittance and haze respectively, achieved about 16% of light intensity enhancement from integrating sphere measurement.

In this paper, the electric characteristics in multilayer organic light emitting, diodes(OLEDs) are observed using a numerical device modeling method. The methode is applied to a general device structure, ITO/CuPC/${\alpha}-NPD$/ Alq3/LiF/Al, that has received broad attention in previous literature. The fitted current-voltage characteristics are quite consistent with the results which was experimentally determined in reference papers. This research approached results in a detailed understanding of the operating machanism of a multilayer OLEDs and applied to a set of real devices.

We have developed green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with high quantum efficiency. Wide-energy-gap material, 1,1-bis[(di-4-tolylamino) phenyl]cyclohexane (TAPC), with high triplet energy level was used as a hole transporting layer. Electrophosphorescent devices fabricated using TAPC as a hole-transporting layer and N,N'-dicarbazolyl-4,4'-biphenyl (CBP) doped with fac-tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium [Ir(ppy)3] as the emitting layer showed the maximum external quantum efficiency ($\eta_{ext}$) of 19.8 %, which is much higher than the devices adopting 4,4'-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenyl-amino]biphenyl (NPB) (${\eta}B_{ext}=14.6%$) as a hole transporting layer.

We make performance simulations of three different organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), one of which is based on a conventional layered structure and the others on a blended structure where an emitting layer (EML) is either uniformly or stepwise mixed with an electron transport layer (ETL), Tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum ($Alq_3$).

We have fabricated white organic light emitting diodes. To obtain balanced white emission and improve the efficiency of devices, thin electron blocking layer (TEBL) was inserted between the emitting layers. We showed that the effective injection of electrons through the optimization of TEBL (a - NPD) embodied the balance of spectra and had a possibility of getting white emission. In a device with 0.3 nm a-NPD, it had a maximum power efficiency of 3.80 lm/w at 250 $cd/m^2$, a luminance of 1200 $cd/m^2$ at 100 $mA/cm^2$ , and the CIE coordinates were (0.353, 0.357).

We have developed blue-emitting phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) using 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP) and tris (8-quinolinolato)aluminum ($Alq_3$) electron transport layers. As blue dopant and host materials, bis[(4,6-di-fluorophenyl)-pyridinate-N,C2']picolinate (FIrpic) and N,N'-dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzene (mCP) were used, respectively. The driving voltage, current efficiency and emission characteristics of devices were investigated. While the driving voltage was about $1{\sim}2$ V lower in the device with an $Alq_3$ layer, the current efficiency was about 66 % higher in the device with BCP electron transport layer. the blue phosphorescent OLED with BCP layer exhibited higher purity of color, resulting from a relatively weak electroluminescence intensity at 500 nm.

The electroluminescent devices with the phenylnaphthyldiamine HTMs as the hole-transporting layer were more efficient than that with the biphenyldiamine HTM 1. Particularly, the life-time of the device IV using HTM 2 is about two times longer than that of the reference device III with HTM 1 within the measured current density, indicating more effective recombination at the emitting layer of device IV.

We have fabricated simple triple-layer blue-emitting phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) using different thicknesses of N,N'-dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzene (mCP) host layers doped with bis[(4,6-di-fluorophenyl)-pyridinate-N,$C^{2'}$]picolmate (FIrpic) guest materials. The thicknesses of mCP:FIrpic layers were 5, 10, and 30 nm. Driving voltage, current and power efficiencies were investigated. The current efficiency was higher in the 10 nm thick mCP:FIrpic device, resulting from the better electron-hole balance. The device with 10 nm mCP:FIrpic layer exhibited the maximum current efficiency of 22.5 cd/A and power efficiency of 7.4 lm/W at a luminance of 1000 cd/$m^2$.
