We investigated the light-emitting performances of blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes, known as PHOLEDs, by incorporating an N,N'-dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzen interlayer between the hole transporting layer and emitting layer (EML). We found that the effects of the introduced interlayer for triplet exciton confinement and hole/electron balance in the EML were exceptionally dependent on the host materials: 9-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-3,6-bis(triphenylsilyl)-9H-carbazole, 9-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-3,6-ditrityl-9H-carbazole, and 4,4'-bis-triphenylsilanyl-biphenyl. When an appropriate interlayer and host material were combined, the peak external quantum efficiency was greatly enhanced by over 21 times from 0.79% to 17.1%. Studies on the recombination zone using a series of host materials were also conducted.

In order to improve the performance in green phosphorescent OLED devices, Merck has developed novel host and electron blocking materials. The newly developed host materials improve the device lifetime by a factor of 3. The newly developed electron blocking materials having not only electron but also exciton barrier properties increase the efficiency of the device by a factor of 1.4. Comparable results were achieved in phosphorescent red systems with further host materials.

Iridium-(III)-bis[(4,6-di-fluorophenyl)-pyridinate-N,$C^2$' ]picolinate-based blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes with different electron transport materials were fabricated. Each electron transport material had different electron mobilities and triplet energies. The device with 1,3,5-tri(m-pyrid-3-yl-phenyl)benzene had the highest external quantum efficiency (20.1%) and luminous current efficiency (33.1 cd/A) due to its high electron mobility and triplet energy. The operational stability of each device was also compared with that of the others. The device with 2,2',2"(1,3,5-benzenetriyl)tris-(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole) was found to have a longer lifetime than the other devices.

We have investigated organic light-emitting devices by doping phosphorescent orange and fluorescent blue emitters into the separate layers of single host. The electroluminescence spectra and current efficiency were strongly dependent on the location of each doped layers. The luminance-voltage (L-V) characteristics of the device2 (ITO/Hole Transport Layer/Orange Phosphorescent emissive layer/Blue Fluorescent emissive layer/Electron Transport Layer/liF/Al) showed the maximum current efficiency of 19.5 cd/A.

We demonstrate the use of screen printing in the fabrication of highly efficient phosphorescent polymer organic-light-emitting devices (OLEDs) based on a green-emitting $Ir(ppy)_3$ and a host polymer PVK. We incorporate PBD in the polymer host as an electron-transporting dopant and ${\alpha}-NPD$ as a hole transporting dopant. The best screen printed single-layer device exhibits very high peak luminous efficiency of 63 cd/A at a relatively high operating voltage of 17.1 V at the luminance of $650\;cd/m^2$. We observed the highest luminance of $21,000\;Cd/m^2$ at 35V. Due to the high operating voltage, despite of the high peak luminous efficiency the peak power efficiency was found to be 12.2 lm/W at the luminance of $470\;cd/m^2$ (15.9 V).

High-efficiency red phosphorescent OLEDs employing a novel red emitter and a multifunctional oligofluorene host are reported. With qazIr(acac) as the red phosphorescent dopant, a maximum external quantum efficiency of 19% and maximum power efficiency of 11 lm/W are achieved. In addition, single layer devices using such host and dopant materials have efficiencies up to 13%.

We have fabricated blue phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) using a 3,5'-N,N'-dicarbazole-benzene (mCP) host and iridium (III) bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,$C^{2'}$] picolinate (Flrpic) guest materials, The Flrpic was partially doped into the mCP host layer, for investigating recombination zone, current efficiency, and emission characteristics of the blue PHOLEDs. The recombination of electrons and holes takes place inside the mCP layer adjacent to the mCP/hole blocking layer interface. The best current efficiency was obtained in a device with an emission layer structure of mCP (10 nm)/mCP:Flrpic (20 nm, 10%). The high current efficiency in this device was attributed to the confinement of Ffrpic triplet excitons by the undoped mCP layer with high triplet energy, which blocks diffusion of Ffrpic excitons to the adjacent hole transport layer with a lower triplet energy.

Effects of a dielectric capping layer on the luminous characteristics of top emitting organic light emitting diodes (TOLEDs) have been analyzed using a classical electromagnetic theory. Special attention was given to the influence of the cavity length on the effectiveness of the capping layer. The luminance characteristics of the TOLEDs influenced by the combined effects of the cavity length and the capping layer thickness. Furthermore, these combined effects also modify the emission spectrum and pattern of the TOLEDs, which result in the improvement of total luminance of the device, but no significant change in the device out-coupling efficiency.

Dopant and host molecules for charge transport layer in OLED have been developed. They enable implementation of the PIN OLED technology in mass production. We review the status of PIN OLED with main focus on top-emission structures and operation stability at elevated temperatures. A green phosphorescent top-emission device with 2.5 V operating voltage and 90 lm/W at 1000 $cd/m^2$ is presented. For a red top-emission device, lifetime exceeding 100,000 h at 500 $cd/m^2$ initial brightness is reported. Operational stability at $80^{\circ}C$ has been investigated. A lifetime of 17,000 h at 500 $cd/m^2$ has been achieved. Finally, we comment on further reduction of the operating voltage in OLED.

We report single and two-stacked WOLED. Two-stacked WOLED structure adopts fluorescent blue EML and phosphorescent (red+green) EML. Current efficiency, EQE and color coordinate of two-stacked WOLED are 54.5cd/A, 28.8% and CIExy (0.322, 0.345), respectively. Those of single WOLED are also 20cd/A, 10% and CIExy (0.29, 0.37), respectively. Dual-plate OLED Display (DOD) employing the single WOLED shows high aperture ratio up to 67% in 2-inch panel of which pixel size is equivalent to that of 32 inch Full HD.
