The passivation films with epoxy layer on LiF, $SiN_x$ and LiF/$SiN_x$ inorganic layer were fabricated on OLED to protect device from the direct damage of $O_2$ and $H_2O$ and to apply for a buffer layer between OLED device and passivation multi-layer with organic/inorganic hybrid structure as to diminish the thermal stress and expansion. Red OLED doped with 1 vol.% Rubrene in $Alq_3$ was used as a basic device. The device structure was multi-layer of ITO(150 nm) / ELM200_HIL(50 nm) / ELM002_HTL(30 nm) / $Alq_3$: 1 vol.% Rubrene(30 nm) / $Alq_3$(30 nm) / LiF(0.7 nm) / Al(100 nm). LiF/epoxy applied as a protective layer didn't contribute to the improvement of life time. While in case of $SiN_x$/epoxy, damage was done in the passivation process because of difference in heat expansion between films which could occur during the formation of epoxy film. Using LiF/$SiN_x$/epoxy improved lifetime significantly without suffering damage in the process of forming films, therefore, the best structure of passivation film with inorganic/epoxy layers was LiF/$SiN_x$/E1.

Multilayer passivation film on OLED with organic/inorganic hybrid structure as to diminish the thermal stress and expansion was researched to protect device from the direct damage of $O_2$ and $H_2O$ and improve life time characteristics. Red OLED doped with 1 vol.% Rubrene in $Alq_3$ was used as a basic device. The films consist of ITO(150 nm)/ELM200_HIL(50 nm)/ELM002_HTL(30 nm)/$Alq_3$: 1 vol.% Rubrene(30 nm)/$Alq_3$(30 nm) and LiF(0.7 nm)/Al(100 nm) which were formed in that order. Using LiF/$SiN_x$ as a buffer layer was determined because it significantly improved life time characteristics without suffering damage in the process of forming passivation film. Multilayer passivation film on buffer layer didn't produce much change in current efficiency, while the half life time at 1,000 $cd/m^2$ of OLED/LiF/$SiN_x$/E1/$SiN_x$ was 710 hours which showed about 1.5 times longer than OLED/LiF/$SiN_x$/E1 with 498 hours. futhermore, OLED/LiF/$SiN_x$/E1/$SiN_x$/E1/$SiN_x$ with 1301 hours showed about twice than OLED/LiF/$SiN_x$/E1/$SiN_x$ which demonstrated that superior characteristics of life time was obtained in multilayer passivation film. Through the above result, it was suggested using LiF/$SiN_x$ as a buffer layer could reduce the damage from the difference of thermal expansion coefficient in OLED with protective films, and epoxy layer in multilayer passivation film could function like a buffer between $SiN_x$ inorganic layers with relatively large thermal stress.

Red organic electroluminescent (EL) devices based on tris(8-hydroxyquinorine aluminum) (Alq$_3$) doped with red emissive materials, 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-t-butyl -6-(l,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)4H-pyran (DCJTB). poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). rubrene and 4-dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6[2-(2,3.6.7-tetrahydro-lH,5H-benzo-[i,j]quinolizin-8yl)vinyl]-4H-pyran (DCM2) were fabricated for applying to the red light source, The photoluminescence (pL) intensities of red emissive materials doped in Alq$_3$ are limited by the concentration quenching with increasing the doping ratio and the doping concentration of DCJTB, DCM2, P3HT and rubrene measured at the maximum intensity showed 5, 1, 0.5 and 2 wt%, respectively. Time-resolved PL dynamic results showed that the PL lifetime of red emissive materials doped in Alq$_3$ were increased more than the value of material itself. It means that the efficient energy transfer occurred in the mixed state and Alq$_3$ is a suitable host materials for red emissive materials, The device which was used DCJTB as a dopant achieved the best result of the maximum luminance of 594 cd/$m^2$ at 15 V and showed the chromaticity coordinates of x=0,624, y=0,371.

We studied white tandem organic light-emitting diodes using red and blue fluorescent materials. White 2 units tandem OLEDs were fabricated using $Alq_3$:Rubrene (3 vol.% 5 nm) and SH-1 : BD-2 (3 vol.% 25 nm) as emitting layer (EML). The device with $Alq_3$ : Rubrene (3 vol.% 5 nm) / SH-1 : BD-2 (3 vol.% 25 nm) showed yellowish white emission with a Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.442, 0.473) at $1,000cd/m^2$, and variation of CIE coordinates was low with ($0.44{\pm}0.002$, $0.472{\pm}0.001$) from 500 to $3,000cd/m^2$. White 3 units tandem OLEDs were fabricated by additory stacking the blue or white layer as EML. CIE coordinates of 3 units tandem OLEDs with stacked blue and white layer was low variation of ($0.293{\pm}0.008$, $0.36{\pm}0.005$) and ($0.412{\pm}0.002$, $0.423{\pm}0.001$) from 500 to $3,000cd/m^2$, respectively. Our findings suggest that stacked OLED was possible to controlling CIE coordinates and producing excellent color stability.

We have developed the active matrix OLED displays with a high efficiency red emission material which uses an emitting assist (EA) dopant system. The EA dopant (rubrene) did not itself emit but assisted the energy transfer from the host ($Alq_s$) to the red emitting dopant(DCM2). A stable red emission (chromaticity coordinates: x=0.64, y=0.36) was obtained in this cell within the luminance range of 100 - 4000 $cd/m^2$ By using EA dopant system, we can realize the reduction of the power consumption of the OLED display..

We have developed low driving voltage white organic light emitting diode with a new electron transport material, triphenylphosphine oxide ($Ph_{3}PO$). The white light emission was realized with a rubrene yellow dopant and blue-emitting DPVBi layer. The new electron transport layer results in a very high current density at low voltage, resulting in a reduction of driving voltage. The device with a new electron transport layer shows a brightness of $1150\;cd/m^2$ at a low driving voltage of 4.3 V.

We have developed low voltage operating OLEDs with new electron transport layer. The device having a structure of ITO/2TNATA/HTL:Rubrene(1%)/HTL /new ETL/LiF/Al have been used. The voltage for achieving $1,000\;cd/m^2$ was 4.1 V, whereas the turn on voltage for the brightness of $1\;cd/m^2$ was 2.8 V. This high luminance at low operating voltage is caused by the high current density, resulting from high electron conduction property of the new electron transport layer.

We investigated the transient electroluminescence (EL) and modulation characteristics of red organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which consist with 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-i -propyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-cnyl)-4H-pyran (DCJTI) and rubrene doped into tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum ($Alq_3$). The transient EL waveforms showed two components, the overshooting peak and constant component, indicating that the excess amount of accumulated charges simultaneously recombine at the onset moment. This overshooting effect reduced the rise time of transient EL and enhanced the optical output of OLEDs when the pulse voltage applied to the device. We demonstrated that the red OLEDs could be use for the high-speed switching application by driving at more than 100 MHz and transmitting the video signals utilized as the electro-optical conversion device

We have studied new hole blocking layer for effective organic light emitting diodes. The device having a structure of ITO/2TNATA/$\alpha$-NPD/DPVBi : Rubrene(0.7%)/DPVBi/New Hole Blocking layer or BCP/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al has been used. The driving voltage of OLED with BCP(2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) or New HBL were 5.5V and 4.4V, respectively. As a result, new HBL rather than BCP has a good hole blocking ability.
