Phosphorescent OLED technology is a core technology driver for OLED display and lighting products due to the inherent and demonstrated efficiency advantages. Here we present recent results in our continued advancements of PHOLED power efficiency and operational stability with focus on narrowing emission line-width, reducing voltage, and overall design for maximizing device lifetime.

In this paper, a renovated approach in the fabrication of red organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is described. The hard-to-control doping process required for dopant-based red OLEDs can be avoided due to the novel red fluorophores that are not concentration quenching in solid state. Doping is in general a must for phosphorescence OLEDs because of the triplet-triplet annihilation, a common problem for phosphorophore dopants. However, we have recently found that extraordinary red iridium complex showing relatively short emission lifetime render the non-doped phosphorescence red OLED possible.

We have developed red phosphorescent top emission organic light-emitting diodes with transparent metal cathodes deposited by using thermal evaporation technique. Phosphorescent guest molecule, BtpIr(acac), was doped in host CBP for the red phosphorescent emission, Ca/Ag, Ba/Ag, and Mg/Ag double layers were used as cathode materials of top emission devices, which were composed of glass/Ni/2TNATA(15 nm)/${\alpha}$-NPD(35 nm)/CBP:BtpIr(acac)(40 nm, 10%)/BCP(5 nm)/$Alq_3$(5 nm)/cathodes. The optical transparencies of these metal cathodes strongly depend on underlying Ca, Ba, and Mg layers. These layers also strongly affect the electrical conduction and emission properties of the red phosphorescent top emission devices.

We have developed novel bipolar host materials, designed to have both electron transporting and hole transporting abilities, which show significant increase in luminance efficiency and decrease in driving voltage of green phosphorescent OLEDs. In case of the best host material, CheilGH-3, the driving voltage was decreased 27 % at a given constant luminance of $1000cd/m^2$. Also the luminance efficiency was enhanced 44 % and the power efficiency was almost doubled compared to the reference device using CBP as a host.

Several iridium based complexes were investigated as blue phosphorescent dopants. They are achieved about 100 % quantum efficiencies due to utilization of both singlet and triplet excitons in the radiative processes. We have fabricated phosphorescent OLED with 8 % Ir$(ppz)_3$ as a triplet emissive dopnat in diverse host materials. In this study, the CBP obtained the luminance efficiency of 0.20 cd/A adapts to the host material. Furthermore, we synthesize metalorganic phosphor complexs based on Ir heavy metal with different ligands as to $Ir(ppz)_2acac$, $(Im)_2Ir(acac)$, $(Im-R)_2Ir(acac)$.

Red color OLED has been fabricated by the doping method apply to CBP using co-evaporation, GDI4349 of phosphorescent dopant, and rubrene of fluorescent dopant. The OLED structure are multi-layer of ITO(150 nm)/ELM_HIL(50 nm)/ELM_HTL(30 nm)/CBP : Rubrene, GDI4349 (30 nm)/BAlq (30 nm)/LiF(0.7 nm)/Al (100 nm). Accomplished best result at 3 vol.% of rubrene when the OLEDs were made of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 vol.% doped rubrene. The highest efficiency of 7.2 cd/A was resulted at 8 vol.% of GDI4349 when the OLEDs were made among 5, 8, 11, 14 vol.% of GDI4349. Obviously, the best concentration of rubrene at 3 vol.% and changing GDI4349 concentration to 5, 8, 11, 14 vol.% OLED dramatically enhanced characteristic of resulted 10.7 cd/A at 8 vol.% of GDI4349. This result would understand to analyse as the emission efficiency increases by energy transport efficiency increase using GDI4349 energy transfer when rubrene absorbs the energy from CBP of fluorescences host.

Electrical, optical, and structural properties of indium zinc oxide (IZO) anode films grown by a RF magnetron sputtering were investigated as functions of RF power and working pressure in pure Ar ambient. To investigate electrical, optical and structural properties of IZO anode films, 4-point probe and UV/VIS spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed, respectively. A sheet resistance of $15.2{\Omega}/{\square}$, average transmittance above 80 % in visible range, expecially above 85 % in 550 nm, and root mean square roughness of 1.13 nm were obtained from optimized IZO anode films grown in oxygen free ambient. All samples show amorphous structure regardless of RF power and working pressure due to low substrate temperature. In addition, XPS depth profile obtained from IZO/PES exhibits that there is no obvious evidence of interfacial reaction between IZO and PES substrate. Furthermore, current-voltage-luminance of the flexible phosphorescent flexible OLEDs fabricated on IZO anode shows dependence on sheet resistance of the IZO anode. These results indicate that the IZO anode is a promising candidate to substitute conventional ITO anode for high-quality flexible displays.

To improve the performance of blue fluorescent and green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diode devices, Merck developed novel green phosphorescent host and electron-transporting materials. The newly developed electron-transporting material improves the external quantum efficiency of blue fluorescent devices up to 8.7%, with an excellent lifetime. In combination with the newly developed host materials, the efficiency of green phosphorescent devices can be improved by a factor of 1.7, and the lifetime by a factor of 7.

Color stable and efficient two wavelength white organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) were fabricated using a iridium(III)[bis(4,6-difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,$C^2$'] picolinate (FIrpic) as a blue phosphorescent emitter and a bis(1-phenylisoquinolinato-$C^2$,N)iridium (acetylacetonate) ((piq)$_2$Ir(acac)) as a red phosphorescent emitter. The emitting layers consist of two blue emitting layers and one red emitting layer which is between the two blue layers. The device reaches the peak efficiencies of 7.84 % and 10.3 cd/A at 0.6 mA/$cm^2$. Furthermore, there was little change of EL spectra according to current density change in the device.

We report state-of-the-art phosphorescent organic light emitting diode lifetime and efficiency performances for a range of emission colors. Lifetimes in excess of 100,000hrs have been demonstrated at display luminance levels for saturated red emission. External quantum efficiencies close to the theoretical maximum (e.g. 23% without enhanced optical output coupling) are also demonstrated for devices with lifetimes in excess of 15,000hrs at a display level luminance for both orange red and green.
