Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using microcavity effect have attracted great attention because they can reduce the width of emission spectra from organic materials, and enhance brightness from the same material. We demonstrate the simulation results of the radiation properties from top-emitting organic light-emitting diodes (TE-OLEDs) with microcavity structures based on the general electromagnetic theory. Organic materials such as N,N'-di (naphthalene-1-yl)-N,N'-diphenylbenzidine (NPB) as a hole transport layer and tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) ($Alq_3$) as emitting and electron transporting layer are used to form the OLEDs. The organic materials were sandwiched between anode such as Ni or Au and cathode such as Al, Ag, or Al:Ag. The devices were characterized with electroluminescence phenomenon. We confirmed that the simulation results are consistent with experimental results.

In order to achieve white emission from organic light emitting devices (OLEDs), five distinct structures were fabricated and tested. The white emission was obtained using two different color-emitting materials (yellow from rubrene-doped $Alq_3$ and blue from DPVBi) with or without a carrier-blocking layer. For enhancing the red emission, two types of devices with three-color emitting materials were fabricated. The white emission, close to the CIE coordinate of (0.3,0.3), was achieved by using two blocking layers as well that as without a blocking layer. This paper covers the subject of controlling the location of exciton recombination zone. It has been found that there is a trade-off in that the devices with three color emitting layers do not show as much luminescence efficiency compared to those with two color emitting layers, but rather, show distinct red emission in the resultant emission spectra. The highest power efficiency was measured to be 1.15lm/W at 2,000 $cd/m^2$ for a structure with two color-emitting layers.

EL (electro luminescent) is generally studied as a large size plane light emitting device and flexible light source because of it's simple manufacturing process. In this experiment, we manufactured flexible white emitting light source using Ni-foil with blue phosphor and color change materials. With increasing the thickness of color change material, the luminance of white emission is increased and the color coordinate of white color was shifted to pure white of (0.317,0.328) by strong emission of color change materials excited by blue excitation spectra. Also the luminance level was 30% higher in white emitting light device than blue only light source.

We investigated the device performance for organic light-emitting characteristics based on the electron-injecting interfacial characteristics of Ba deposited on tris(8-quinolinolato)aluminum (III) ($Alq_3$) with a change of a Ba coverage. The device performance of organic light-emitting diodes with Ba coverage of 1 nm significantly improved by the lowering of the electron-injecting barrier height that was induced by electronic charge transfer. However, the device with Ba coverage above 1 nm showed poor device performance. The spectroscopic results indicated that the $Alq_3$ molecules started to decompose by the reaction between Ba and the phenoxide moiety of the molecule.

The internal quantum efficiency of organic light emitting devices(OLEDs) using fluorescent organic materials is limited within 25% because of the triplet excitons which can hardly emit light. So there has been considerable interest in finding ways to obtain light emission from triplet excitons. One approach has been to add phosphorescent compounds to one of the layers in OLEDs. Then triplet excitons can transfer to these phosphorescent molecules and emit light. In this study, multilayer OLEDs with phosphorescent emitter, Iridium complexes were prepared. The devices with a structure of ITO/TPD/Ir complex doped in the host material/Alq3/Li:Al/Al were fabricated, and its electrical and optical characteristics were studied. Using various Ir complexes and the host materials, we fabricated several devices and investigated the device characteristics.

Impedance spectroscopy informs electrical properties of materials as accumulated charges, contact status between electrode and organic materials. We carried out impedance spectroscopy of organic light-emitting diodes as ITO/Alq3(60 nm)/Al on temperatures from 10 K to 300 K. The result described Z'-Z" plot, cole-cole plot and dielectric relaxation time τ. Z'-Z" plot means that real and imaginary part of materials in organic and electrode by frequencies and temperature. Z' as real part of impedance by applied frequency depending on temperature shows the plateau in low frequency region as Rs+ Rp and over 100 kHz in high frequency region as Rs. Cole-cole plot shows resistance of materials in equivalent circuit of the device by temperatures. And equivalent circuit and dielectric relaxation could be accomplished by using the complex impedance analysis.

Intrinsically stretchable light-emitting diodes, composed of stretchable electrodes, charge transport layers, and luminescent materials, have garnered significant interest for enhancing human well-being and advancing the field of deformable electronics. Various luminescent materials, such as perovskites and organics, have been integrated with stretchable elastomers to function as the stretchable emissive layers in these intrinsically stretchable LEDs. Stretchable conductors including Ag nanowire based percolating structures and conducting polymers have been utilized as stretchable transparent electrode. Despite this progress, their performances in terms of efficiency and stability remain challenging compared to their structurally stretchable and rigid LED counterparts. This review offers a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in intrinsically stretchable LEDs, focusing on material innovations.

We demonstrate the blue InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with an embedded air-gap photonic crystal (PC) which was fabricated by the lateral epitaxial overgrowth of GaN layer on the tungsten (W) nano-masks. The periodic air-gap PC was formed by the chemical reaction of hydrogen with GaN on the W nano-mask. The optical output power of LEDs with an air-gap PC was increased by 26% compared to LEDs without an air-gap PC. The enhanced optical output power was attributed to the improvement in internal quantum efficiency and light extraction efficiency by the air-gap PC embedded in GaN layer.
