Electroluminescent(EL) devices based on organic materials have been of great interest due to their possible applications for large-area flat-panel displays, where they are attractive because of their capability of multicolor emission, and low operation voltage. In this study, glass substrate/ITO/Eu(TTA)$_3$(phen)/Al, glass substrate/ITO/Eu(TTA)$_3$(phen)/Al and glass substrate/ITO/Eu(TTA)$_3$(phen)/AlQ$_3$/Al structures were fabricated by vacuum evaporation method, where aromatic diamine(TPD) was used as a hole transporting material, Eu(TTA)$_3$(phen) as an emitting material, and Tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminu-m(AlQ$_3$) as an electron transporting layer. Electrolumescent(EL) and I-V characteristics of Eu(TTA)$_3$-(-phen) were investigated. These structures show the red EL spectra, which are almost the same at the PL spectrum of Eu(TTA)$_3$(phen). I-V characteristics of this structure show that turn-on voltage was 9V and current density was 0.01A/㎤ at a operation voltage of 9V. Electrical transporting phenomena of these structures were explained using the trapped-charge-limited current model with I-V characteristics.
