We fabricated red organic light emitting diodes(OLEDs) utilizing tis(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum $(Alq_3)$ doped with $5\%$ of (4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-i-propyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4H-pyran) (DCJTI) and investigated the driving and modulation characteristics for applying to the electro-optical conversion device. To improve the driving characteristics of red OLEDs, 3 V of offset voltage, which is equal to the turn on voltage, Is applied to the device. Offset voltage enhanced the optical EL output and reduced the rise time of EL waveforms of red OLEDs, and hence the cutoff frequency is increased with increasing applied voltage. The optical pulse of 100 MHz has been obtained from red OLEDs. Therefore, we confirmed that the red OLEDs can be applied to the fields of optical communication as an electro-optical conversion device.

Twin target sputtering (TTS) system with a configuration of vertically parallel facing Al targets and a substrate holder perpendicular to the Al target plane has been designed to realize a direct Al cathode sputtering on organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The TTS system has a linear twin target gun with ladder type magnet array for effective and uniform confinement of high density plasma. It is shown that OLEDs with Al cathode deposited by the TTS show a relatvely lower leakage current density $({\sim}1{\times}10^{-5}mA/cm^2)$ at reverse bias of -6V, compared to that ($1{\times}10^{-2}{\sim}10^{-3}$ $mA/cm^2$ at -6V) of OLEDs with Al cathodes grown by conventional DC magnetron sputtering. In addition, it was found that Al cathode films prepared by TTS were amorphous structure with nanocrystallines due to low substrate temperature. This demonstrates that there is no plasma damage caused by the bombardment of energetic particles. This indicates that the TTS system with ladder type magnet array could be useful plasma damage free deposition technique for direct Al cathode sputtering on OLEDs or flexible OLEDs.

New iridium complexes that have carbonyl group were synthesized and demonstrated various red light emission in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The maximum luminance of $57000{\sim}15300\;cd/m^2$ at 15 V and the luminance efficiency of 22.8~5.6 cd/A at $20\;mA/cm^2$ were achieved respectively. The peak wavelength of the electroluminescence were at 570~604 nm and the device also showed a stable color chromaticity with various voltages.

Organic light emitting devices have attracted the attention of many people because of their high potential for self-emission and flexible display devices. However, due to limitations in device efficiency and lifetime, partial commercialization is underway. In this paper, we have investigated the electrical conduction mechanism of the organic light emitting device by the temperature and the thickness of the light emitting layer through the current - voltage characteristics with respect to the conduction mechanism directly affecting the efficiency and lifetime of the organic light emitting device. Through the study, it was found that the conduction in the low electric field region is caused by the movement of the heat excited charge in the ohmic region and the tunneling of the electric charge due to the high electric field in the high electric field region.

We studied the performance enhancement of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using 2,3,5,6-fluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane ($F_4-TCNQ$) as the hole-transport layer. To investigate how $F_4-TCNQ$ affects the device performance, we fabricated a reference device in an ITO (170 nm)/TPD(40 nm)/$Alq_3$(60 nm)/LiF(0.5 nm)/Al(100 nm) structure. Several types of test devices were manufactured by either doping the $F_4-TCNQ$ in the TPD layer or forming a separate $F_4-TCNQ$ layer between the ITO anode and TPD layer. N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di(m-tolyl)-benzidine (TPD), tri(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum ($Alq_3$), and $F_4-TCNQ$ layers were formed by thermal evaporation at a pressure of $10_{-6}$ torr. The deposition rate was $1.0-1.5{\AA}/s$ for TPD and $Alq_3$. The LiF was subsequently thermally evaporated at a deposition rate of $0.2{\AA}/s$. The performance of the OLEDs was considered with respect to the turn-on voltage, luminance, and current efficiency. It was found that the use of $F_4-TCNQ$ in OLEDs enhances the performance of the device. In particular, the use of a separate layer of $F_4-TCNQ$ realizes better device performance than other types of OLEDs.

유기발광다이오드(Organic Light-Emitting Diodes, OLEDs)의 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 다양한 아세트산금속(Macetate, M: Li, Na, K, Cs)을 cathode underlayer 소재로 사용하고 이들이 소자의 전자주입 및 발광 특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 1 nm 두께의 M-acetate 층을 cathode underlayer로 사용한 경우 Cs-acetate를 사용한 소자를 제외한 모든 소자에서 기존의 LiF 전자주입층을 사용한 소자보다 효율적인 전자주입 및 향상된 발광특성을 보였으며, M-acetate에 포함된 금속의 일함수가 작을수록 높은 전류밀도와 우수한 발광특성을 보였다. 또한, cathode underlayer의 두께가 소자의 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 사용된 M-acetate의 분자크기에 따라 각기 다른 두께(Li-acetate 0.7 nm, Cs-acetate 2.0 nm)에서 최적의 발광특성을 보였으며 기존의 LiF 층을 사용한 소자에 비하여 동일 인가전압에서 전류효율이 약 60% 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Two new blue emitting cationic iridium(III) complexes with two substituted 2-phenlypyridine ligands as main ligands and one 2,2'-biimidazole as an ancillary ligand, $[(L1)_2Ir(biim)]Cl$ (1) and $[(L2)_2Ir(biim)]Cl$ (2), where L1 = 2-(2',4'-difluorophenyl)-4-methylpyridine, L2 = 2-(2',4'-difluoro-3'-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-methylpyridine and biim = 2,2'-biimidazole, were synthesized for applications in phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). Their photophysical, electrochemical and electroluminescent (EL) device performances were examined. The photoluminescent (PL) spectra revealed blue phosphorescence in the 450 to 485 nm range with a quantum yield of more than 10%. The iridium(III) compounds studied showed good solubility in organic solvents with no solvatochromism dependent on the solvent polarity. The solution-processed OLEDs were prepared with the configuration, ITO/PEDOT:PSS (40 nm)/mCP:Ir(III) (70 nm)/OXD-7 (20 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm), by spin coating the emitting layer containing the mCP host doped with the iridium phosphors. The best performance of the fabricated OLEDs based on compound 1 showed an external quantum efficiency of 4.5%, luminance efficiency of 8.52 cd $A^{-1}$ and blue emission with the CIE coordinates (x,y) of (0.16, 0.33).

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.

We have fabricated top-emission. organic ligth-emitting diodes in a structure of Glass/Al/2-TNATA/TPD/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al/Ag. By varying a film thickness of 2-TNATA and TPD, current efficiency, luminance efficiency, and viewing angle dependence of the device were measured. The top device using $Alq_3$ showed electroluminescent peak wavelengths of 522nm and 505nm at $0^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ viewing angles, respectively. It is thought that a microcavity effect affects on peak wavelength position for different viewing angles.
