We have used ITO/$Alq_3$/Al structure to study electrical conduction mechanism in $Alq_3$ based organic light emitting diode. Current-voltage characteristics were measured at room temperature by varying the thickness of $Alq_3$ layer from 60 to 400nm. We were able to prove that there are three different mechanism depending on the applied voltage; Ohmic, SCLC (space-charge-limited current). and TCLC (trap-charge -limited current) mechanism.
