A novel class of conjugated dendritic molecules bearing N-hexyl-substituted carbazoles as peripheral groups and various conjugative aromatic cores was synthesized through Heck coupling and the Horner-Emmons reaction. A multilayered structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS (30 nm)/emitting material (50 nm)/BCP (10 nm)/$Alq_3$ (10 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm) was employed to evaluate the synthesized dendritic materials. The electroluminescence spectrum of the multilayered device made of 3Cz predominantly exhibited blue emissions. Similar emissions were observed in the PL spectra of it's the device's thin film. The multilayered devices made of 3Cz, 3BCz, and 4BCz showed luminance values of 6,250 cd $m^{-2}$ at 24 V, 3,000 cd $m^{-2}$ at 25 V, and 1,970 cd $m^{-2}$ at 36 V, respectively. The smallest molecule, 3Cz, which bore three carbazole peripheral groups, exhibited a blue-like emission with CIE 1931 chromaticity coordinates of x = 0.17 and y = 0.21.

Three solvent systems, chlorobenzene (ink 1), chlorobenzene/o-dichlorobenzene (ink 2) and chlorobenzene/tetrahydronaphthalene (ink 3), were compared as printable inks for the fabrication of polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) using poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyl-oxyl)-1,4-phenylenevinylene (MEH-PPV) as an emissive material and an inkjet printer (Fujifilm Dimatix DMP-2831). Ink 1 clogged the printer's nozzle and gave non-uniform film. Inks 2 and 3 were used to fabricate PLEDs with ITO/PEDOT:PSS/MEH-PPV/LiF/Al configurations. The best performance (turn-on voltage, 3.5 V; luminance efficiency, 0.17 cd/A; luminance, 1,800 cd/m) was obtained when ink 3 was used to form the emissive layer (thickness, 49 nm), attributable to the better morphology and suitable thickness of the MEH-PPV layer.

투명 전극은 유기 발광소자, 태양전지, 센서와 같은 다양한 분야에 응용되고 있으며, indium-tin-oxide(ITO)는 현재 다양한 소자의 투명 전극으로 가장 많이 사용하고 있다. 그러나 높은 가격과 유연성이 좋지 않은 ITO 소재를 대체하는 기술로 현재 금속 나노와이어를 사용하려는 시도가 진행되고 있다. 금속 나노 와이어 투명전극은 높은 전도성, 높은 광학적 투과율, 간단한 공정, 우수한 유연성 및 열 안정성의 장점을 가지고 있어 플렉서블 소자에 응용 가능성을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 금속 나노와이어 투명전극 기판 제작 방법과 이를 이용한 유기 쌍안정 메모리 소자의 전기적 특성을 관찰하였다. 세척한 PET 기판 위에 금속 나노와이어를 스핀코팅 방법으로 분산하고, 그 위에 금속 나노와이어의 표면 거칠기와 전도성을 증진하기 위해 PEDOT:PSS 층을 스핀코팅하여 플렉서블 투명전극을 제작하였다. 플렉서블 금속 나노와이어 투명전극 기판을 하부 전극으로 사용하고, 그 위에 금 나노입자가 포함된 유기물 층을 다시 한번 스핀코팅 방식으로 적층하였다. 마지막으로 알루미늄 상부 전극을 열 증착하여 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 제작하였다. 이렇게 제작된 소자의 전류-전압 측정 결과는 높은 전도도와 낮은 전도도의 차이를 갖는 전기적 특성을 확인할 수 있다.

We propose a novel direct writing technique with a femtosecond laser enabling selective modification of not only the morphology of conducting polymer thin films but also the orientation and alignment of the polymer crystal. Surface relief gratings resulting from photoexpansion on P3HT:PCBM and PEDOT:PSS thin films were fabricated by femtosecond laser direct writing. The photoexpansion was induced at laser fluence below the ablation threshold of the thin film. The morphology (size and shape) of photoexpansion could be quantitatively controlled by laser writing parameters such as focused beam size, writing speed, and laser fluence. GIWAX results showed that face-on P3HT crystals were largely increased in the photoexpansion in comparison with pristine region of the thin film. In addition, the face-on P3HTs in the photoexpansion were aligned with their orientation along the polarization of the laser. The micro-RAMAN spectra confirmed that neither chemical composition change nor the polymer chain breaking was observable after femtosecond laser irradiation. We believe that this laser direct writing technique opens a new door to the fabrication of more efficient OPVs via non-contact, toxic-free approach.

White phosphorescence polymer light emitting diodes (WPhPLEDs) with a glass/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PFO:$Ir(ppy)_3$:MDMO-PPV/TPBI/LiF/Al structure were fabricated to investigate the effects of $Ir(ppy)_3$ doping concentrations on the optical and electrical properties of the devices. PFO, $Ir(ppy)_3$ and MDMO-PPV conjugated polymers as host and guest materials in the emission layer were spin coated at various concentrations of $Ir(ppy)_3$ ranging from 0.0 to 20.0 vol.%. As the concentration of $Ir(ppy)_3$ increased from 5.0 to 20.0 vol.%, the luminance and current efficiency values of the devices decreased clearly, which are attributable to the quenching effect at a high doping concentration. The maximum luminance and current density were 2850 $cd/m^2$ and 741 $mA/cm^2$, respectively for a WPhPLED with an $Ir(ppy)_3$ concentration of 5.0 vol.%. The CIE color coordinates were about x=0.33 and y=0.34 at 11V, showing a good white color.

9,10-Bis(bromomethyl)phenanthrene reacted with fullerenes via a Diels-Alder reaction to give phenanthrene-substituted fullerene mono-adducts (PCMA) and bis-adducts (PCBA) as electron acceptors for organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). The syntheses of the fullerene derivatives were confirmed by $^1H$ $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. PCMA and PCBA showed better light absorption in the UV-visible region than $PC_{61}BM$. Their electrochemical properties were measured using cyclic voltammetry. Accordingly, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels of PCMA and PCBA were -3.66 and -3.57 eV, respectively. Photovoltaic cells were fabricated with a ITO/PEDOT:PSS/poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT):acceptor/LiF/Al configuration, where P3HT and PCBA are the electron donors and acceptors, respectively. The polymer solar cell fabricated using the P3HT:PCBA active layer showed a maximum power conversion efficiency of 0.71%.

We have investigated the effectiveness of a gravure printing method for the fabrication of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT). Printing of the organic layers was performed with a small-scale gravure coating machine, while the metallic layers were vacuum-evaporated. Devices with gravure-printed layers are at least comparable with the spin-coated devices. Effects of the solvent formulation and surface energy mismatch between the organic layer materials on the printed patterns and device performance were discussed. We will present the initial design and experimental data of OTFT fabricated by roll-type soft contact transfer process.

We have fabricated white polymeric light-emitting devices (WPLEDs) from polyfluorene-based (PFO) blue and MEH-PPV polymer blending systems. A device structure of ITO / PEDOT:PSS / Blending polymer / Blue polymer / LiF / Al was employed. This structure of double emission layers results in the significant improvement of white color shift phenomenon. A current efficiency of 4.67 cd/A ($3,900cd/m^2$, 6.4V) and a brightness value of $17,600cd/m^2$ at 9.4 V with (0.34, 0.35) CIE coordinates at 5V and (0.29, 0.29) at 9V were obtained.

The electrophosphorescent emission properties were investigated in polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) based on a poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) doped with a green phosphorescent dye of fac-tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium (III) [$Ir(ppy)_3$]. A green light peaked at 516 nm was emitted from devices with a configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK:$Ir(ppy)_{3}$/BCP/$Alq_{3}$/LiF/Al. The optimal doping concentration of $Ir(ppy)_{3}$ in PVK was found at 2% by weight, under which maximum current efficiency of 24.3 cd/A and peak external quantum efficiency of 6.8% were achieved at the high luminance of 4240 $cd/m^{2}$. The external quantum efficiency of 5% and current efficiency of 18 cd/A can be sustained even at the very high luminance of 35000 $cd/m^{2}$.

We report the fabrication and the characterization of white organic light-emitting devices consisting of a red-emitting layer of a new DCM derivative doped into 4,4'bis[N-(1-napthyl)-N-phenyl-amino]-biphenyl (${\alpha}-NPD$) and a blue-emitting layer of 1,4-bis(2,2-diphenyl vinyl)benzene (DPVBi). The device structure is ITO/PEDOT:PSS/${\alpha}-NPD$ (50 nm)/${\alpha}-NPD$:DCM (5 nm, 0.2 %)/DPVBi (x)/Alq3 (40 nm)/LiF (0.5 nm)/Al. The electroluminescence (EL) spectra consist of two broad peaks around 470 nm and 580 nm with the spectral emission depending on the thickness of DPVBi. The device with the DPVBi thickness of about 20 nm show a white light-emission with the Commission Internationale d'Eclairage(CIE) chromaticity coordinates of (0.33, 0.36). The external quantum efficiency is 2.6% and luminous efficiency is 2.0 lm/W at a luminance of 100 $cd/m^{2}$. The maximum luminance is about 30,270 $cd/m^{2}$ at 13.9 V.
