Electrical properties of organic light-emitting diodes were studied in a device with 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-quinodimethane (TCNQ) to see how the TCNQ affects on the device performance. Since the TCNQ has a high electron affinity, it is used for a charge-transport and injection layer. We have made a reference device in a structure of ITO(170 nm)/TPD(40 nm)/$Alq_3$(60 nm)/LiF(0.5 nm)/Al(100 nm). And two types of devices were manufactured. One type of device is the one made by doping 5 and 10 vol% of TCNQ to N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di(m-tolyl)-benzidine (TPD) layer. And the other type is the one made with TCNQ layer inserted in between the ITO anode and TPD organic layer. Organic layers were formed by thermal evaporation at a pressure of $10^{-6}$ torr. It was found that for the TCNQ doped devices, turn-on voltage of the device was reduced by about 20 % and the current efficiency was improved by about three times near 6 V. And for devices with TCNQ layer inserted in between the ITO anode and TPD layer, it was found that the current efficiency was improved by more than three times even though there was not much change in turn-on voltage.

Starting with cathode ray tubes, displays are forming markets in the order of active marix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) after PDP (Plasma Display Panel) and LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). OLED is recognized as a key field for the development of each country preparing for the fourth industrial revolution, and especially Samsung Display and LG Display, which are the top industries in Korea, are leading the market with more than 90% of OLED shares. Currently, AMOLED has moved to the area that can be folded or bent. This technology is possible because TFT (Thin Film Transistor) and OLED may be formed on a flexible substrate. In the future, the technology will move to stretchable displays, and for this, the development of substrate materials is first, and then TFT and OLED devices should also be implemented with stretchable materials.

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have shown superior characteristics and are expected to dominate the nextgeneration flat-panel displays. Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays, however, have stringent demands on the performance of the backplane. In this paper, the development of thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) on both Gen 1 and 6 glasses, and their decent characteristics, which meet the AMOLED requirements, are shown. Further, several display prototypes (e.g., 2.4" AMOLED, 2.4" transparent AMOLED, and 32" AMLCD) using IGZO TFTs are demonstrated to confirm that they can indeed be strong candidates for the next-generation TFT technology not only of AMOLED but also of AMLCD (active-matrix liquid crystal display).

Highly efficient inverted bottom emission organic light emitting device (IBOLED) with a structure of ITO/EIL/Alq3/NPB/WO3/Al was investigated. To enhance electron injection from ITO cathode to Alq3 EML layer, we introduced ultra thin Al layer and Liq layer between ITO and Alq3. The device characteristics showed tune on voltage of 4.5V, the maximum luminance of 21100 Cd/m2 and current efficiencies of 3.56 Cd/A.

This paper reports that well-balanced white emission with three primary colors can be achieved with a simple white organic light-emitting diode (WOLED) structure of ITO / $\alpha$-NPD (50 nm) / $\alpha$-NPD: Btp2Ir(acac) (8 wt%, 6 nm) / $\alpha$-NPD (5 nm) / BCP (3 nm) / $Alq_3$: C545T (0.5 wt%, 10 nm) / $Alq_3$ (40 nm) / LiF (0.5 nm) / Al (100 nm). The external quantum efficiency of the device reached 3.8% at a current density (luminance) of 4.6 mA/$cm^2$ (310 cd/$m^2$), and the maximal luminance of the device reached 19,000 cd/$m^2$ at 11.5 V. The insignificant blue shift of the emitting color with an increasing current density can be attributed to the narrowing of the exciton formation zone width.

Organic electronics are the domain in which the components and circuits are made of organic materials. This new electronics help to realize electronic and optoelectronic devices on flexible substrates. In recent years, organic materials have replaced conventional semiconductors in many electronic components such as, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaic (OPVs). It is well known that organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) have many advantages in comparison with inorganic light-emitting diodes LEDs. These advantages include the low price of manufacturing, large area of electroluminescent display, uniform emission and lower the requirement for power. The aim of this paper is to model polymer LEDs and OLEDs made with small molecules for studying the electrical and optical characteristics. The purpose of this modeling process is, to obtain information about the running of OLEDs, as well as, the injection and charge transport mechanisms. The first simulation structure used in this paper is a mono layer device; typically consisting of the poly (2-methoxy-5(2'-ethyl) hexoxy-phenylenevinylene) (MEH-PPV) polymer sandwiched between an anode with a high work function, usually an indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate, and a cathode with a relatively low work function, such as Al. Electrons will then be injected from the cathode and recombine with electron holes injected from the anode, emitting light. In the second structure, we replaced MEH-PPV by tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (Alq₃). This simulation uses, the Poole-Frenkel -like mobility model and the Langevin bimolecular recombination model as the transport and recombination mechanism. These models are enabled in ATLAS- SILVACO. To optimize OLED performance, we propose to change some parameters in this device, such as doping concentration, thickness and electrode materials.

By the oxygen plasma exposure to the organic light-emitting diodes, the turn-on voltage decreased from 10.5 to 7 V and luminance increased from 470 to $852\;cd/m^2$. Synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that during oxygen plasma exposure, oxygen ions were diffused into organic layer and induced p-type doping effect.

A high efficiency deep blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diode (PHOLED) was developed using a new wide triplet bandgap host material (PPO1) with a phenylcarbazole and a phosphine oxide unit. The wide triplet bandgap host material was synthesized by a phosphornation reaction of 2-bromo-Nphenylcarbazole with chlorodiphenylphosphine. A deep blue emitting phosphorescent dopant, tris((3,5-difluoro-4-cyanophenyl)pyridine)iridium (FCNIr), was doped into the PPO1 host and a high quantum efficiency of 17.1 % and a current efficiency of 19.5 cd/A with a color coordinate of (0.14,0.15) were achieved in the blue PHOLED. The quantum efficiency of the deep blue PHOLED was better than any other quantum efficiency value reported up to now.

Through the engineering of recombination region and energy transfer in organic light emitting device, blue and red light emitting device with good color stability has been successfully obtained. A Color control layer (CCL), which emits green light through the energy transfer from the emission layers, has been introduced into the blue and red light emitting device for RGB white OLED. The RGB white OLED showed the current efficiency of 13 cd/A and the CIE coordinates of (0.33, 0.38) at $1000\;cd/m^2$. The device exhibited very stable spectrum with respect to operating current density and the CIE coordinates varied from (0.34, 0.38) to (0.31, 0.37) for $100-22000\;cd/m^2$.

The bilayer organic light-emitting diode using Al (DBM) $_3$ (DBM=Dibenzoylmethane) as an emitting material and poly (N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as hole-transport material, emitted bright blue-green light instead of blue light. The blue-green emission is attributed to exciplex formation at the solid interface between Al (DBM) $_3$ and the hole-transport material. The exciplex formation was evidenced by the measurement of the photoluminescence spectra and lifetimes of Al (DBM) $_3$, PVK and an equimolar amount of mixture of Al (DBM) $_3$ and PVK.
