New azomethine metal complexes were synthesized systematically and characterized. Beryllium, magnesium, or zinc ions were used as a central metal cation and aromatic azomethines (L1-L4) were employed as a chelating anionic ligand. Emission peaks o f the complexes in both solution and solid states were observed mostly at the region of 400-500 nm in the luminescence spectra, where blue light was emitted. Three of them (BeL1 (Ⅰ), ZnL2 (Ⅱ), and ZnL3 (Ⅲ)) were sublimable and thus were applied to the organic light-emitting devices (OLED) as an emitting layer, respectively. The device including the emitting layer of Ⅰ exhibited white emission with the broad luminescence spectral range. The device with the emitting layer of Ⅱ showed blue luminescence with the maximum emission peak at 460 nm. Their ionization potentials, electron affinities, and electrochemical band gaps were investigated with cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemical gaps of 2.98 for I, 2.70 for Ⅱ, and 2.63 eV for Ⅲ were found to be consistent with their respective optical band gaps of 3.01, 2.95 and 2.61 eV within an experimental error. The structure of OLED manufactured in this study reveals that these complexes can work as electron transporting materials as well.

Electroluminescent[EL] from conjugated polymers has recently received great attention because polymer light-emitting diodes[LEDs] clearly have potential for applications such as large-area displays. The operation of polymer LEDs is based on double injection of electrons and holes from the electrodes, followed by formation of excitons whose radiative decay results in light emission at wavelength characteristic to the material In this paper, we fabricated the single layer EL device using poly(3-octylthiophene)[P3OT] as emitting material. The orange-red light was clearly visible in a dark room Maximum peak wavelength of EL spectrum saw at 640nm in accordance with photon energy 1.9eV. And we know that ionization energy of P3OT is 4.7eV from the cyclic voltammetry.

Lead-doped calcium sulfide(CaS:Pb) thin film electroluminescent devices were deposited using atomic layer deposition(ALD). CaS:Pb is a very promising blue phosphor showing very high luminance and the color coordinate close to the blue of cathode ray tube. The luminance, $L_{25}$, of CaS:Pb(1.6 mol.%) EL device was higher than 80 $cd/cm^2$ at a driving frequency of 60Hz. The color coordinates of blue EL emission of CaS:Pb deposited by ALD are consistent with the Pb concentration ranging from approximately 0.5 to 3 mol.%.

The temporal response of the electroluminescence (EL) has been studied in the organic electroluminescent devices fabricated with a vacuum-deposited poly(p-phenylene) (PPP) thin film upon the application of a rectangular driving voltage. The blue EL emission arises with a delay time of several hundred nanoseconds and then saturates with the rise time of less than microsecond. The EL delay time is considered as the transit time of holes in the PPP thin film since the hole mobility is much larger than the electron mobility in PPP. The hole mobility is estimated to be ${\sim}$ $1{\times}10^{-5}$ $cm^2/Vs$ in the vacuum-deposited PPP film.

Novel electroluminescent materials, polymer material, PU-BCN and low molar mass material, D-BCN with the same chromophores were designed and synthesized. A molecular structure of chromophore was composed of bisstyrylbenzene derivative with cyano groups as electron injection and transport and phenylamine groups as hole injection and transport. Device structures with PU-BCN and D-BCN as an emission layer were fa-bricated, which were a single-layer device(SL), Indium-tin oxide(ITO)/emission layer/MgAg, and two kinds of double-layer devices which were composed of ITO/emission layer/oxadiazole derivative/MgAg as a DL-E device and ITO/triphenylamine derivative/emission layer/MgAg as a DL-H device. The two emission materials, PU-BCN and D-BCN with the same emission-chromophore were evaluated as having excellent performance of charge injection and transport and revealed almost the same emission characteristics in high current density. EL emission maximum peaks of two material were detected at about 640 nm wavelength of red emission region.

A blue light emitting device has been successfully fabricated using a polymer with regulated conjugation length containing trimethylsilyl substituted phenylenevinylene units. Electroluminescence from the device has an emission maximum at 470 nm. The device shows typical diode characteristics with operating voltage of 20 V and the light becomes visible at a current density of less than $0.5;mA/cm^2$. The electroluminescence spectrum is virtually identical with the photoluminescence spectrum, indicating that the radiation mechanisms are the same for both. A light emitting device using the blend of a large band gap polymer and a small band gap polymer was also fabricated. Light emission from the small band gap polymer shows much improved quantum efficiency, but there is no light emission from the large band gap polymer. Quantum efficiency of the blend increases up to about two orders of magnitude greater than that of the small band gap polymer with increasing proportion of the large band gap polymer. The improvement in quantum efficiency is interpreted in terms of exciton transfer and the hole blocking behaviour of the large band gap polymer. Finally, we have fabricated a patterned flexible light emitting device using the high quantum efficiency polymer blend system.

Electrolunlinescent devices based on conjugated polymer emitting materials have been much attracted possible applications for multicolor flat panel display, since the conjugated polymers have a small band gap emitting obtained at a low driving voltage. In this paper, we fabricated the single layer EL device using poly(3-hexylthiophene) as emitting material Electroluminescence(EL) and I-V-L characteristics of indium-tin-oxide[ITO]P3HT/AI device with a various thickness were investigated. It was demonstrate that the I-V characteristics depend, not the voltage but the electric- field strength, The current is dependent on the electric filed and not on the applied voltage, indicating that the carriers are injected by a tunneling process. In the device, the barrier to hole injection is only 0.5eV and the barrier to electron injection is 1.5eV.
