We have investigated the effects of hole-injection buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes using copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), poly(vinylcarbazole)(PVK), and Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) in a device structure of $ITO/bufferr/TPD/Alq_3/Al$. Polymer PVK and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer were produced using the spin casting method where as the CuPc layer was produced using thermal evaporation. Current-voltage characteristics, luminance-voltage characteristics and efficiency of device were measured at room temperature at various a thickness of the buffer layer. We observed an improvement in the external quantum efficiency by a factor of two, four, and two and half when the CuPc, PVK, and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer were used, respectively. The enhancement of the efficiency is assumed to be attributed to the improved balance of holes and elelctrons resulting from the use of hole-injection buffer layer. The CuPc and PEDOT:PSS layer function as a hole-injection supporter and the PVK layer as a hole-blocking one.

Tunnel magnetoresistive devices using an individual multi-walled carbon nanotube were fabricated and their low-temperature electrical transport propertiers were investigated. With the ferromagnetic Co electrodes, the multi-walled carbon nanotube exhibited hysteretic magnetoresistance curve at low temperatures. Depending on the temperature and the bias current, the magnetoresistance ratio can be as high as 16% at the temperature of 2.2 K. Such high magnetoresistance ratio indicates a long diffusion length of the multi-walled carbon nanotube.

We characterized the n-type organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with non-conjugated polyelectrolytes (NPEs) interlayers as the electron injection layer. Novel NPEs with various ions (Cl-, Br-, I-) improved the electron mobility from $5.06{\times}10^{-3}$ to $2.10{\times}10^{-2}cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ in OFETs based [6,6]-Phenyl-$C_{61}$-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) when $PEIEH^+I^-$ spin-cast from 0.6% solution was deposited onto the PCBM layer. Reduced electron injection barrier (${\phi}_e$) at NPE/metal electrode interface was induced by dipole formation and led to increase the electron injection and transport. These findings are important for understanding how NPEs function in devices, the improvement of device performance, and the design of new materials for use in optoelectronic devices.

In the surface pressure-area isotherms of mixed monolayers, mixtures containing as much as 30 mol% of AA form stable condensed monolayer while the monolayer without AA is in the expanded state because PVK take on 3D collapsed. All of the mixed monolayers with 0, 10, 20 and 30 mol% of AA could be readily transferred onto ITO substrate at 16, 17, 24 and 26 mN/m, respectively. The monolayer containing 30 mol% of AA, however, showed a roughness value of 28A and became homogeneous decreasing with the phase separation. We fabricated organic EL device of ITO/CuPc/MEL/BBOT/iLiF/Al using mixed monolayer of 13, 19 and 25 layer deposited by LB method as a emitting layer. In the voltage-current characteristics of EL device, current density was much smaller than that of the spin-coated devices. It may due to the large contact resistance existed at the interface of LB layer/organic layer inhibit carrier injection to the emitting layer. EL spectra of device showed peaks at 450. 470, 505, 555 and 650 nm and the white light emission indicate the CIE coordinate x=0.306, y=0.353.

We achieved high efficiency and long lifetime in small-molecule organic light-emitting diodes using a blend of polyaniline-based conducting polymer and a perfluorinated ionomer as a hole injection layer (HIL). The HIL formed by single spin coating greatly enhanced the surface work function and thus the hole injection from the anode, which resulted in great improvement in device luminous efficiency. We find that the solution processed HIL outperforms the conventional vacuum-deposited small molecule HIL in terms of the device performance.

본 연구에서는 ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PFO:MEH-PPV/LiF/Al의 구조를 갖는 고분자 유기발광다이오드를 제작하여 정공 주입층으로 사용되는 PEDOT:PSS의 두께 변화와 PVK 정공 수송층을 도입하여 ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/PFO:MEH-PPV/LiF/Al 구조를 갖는 고분자 유기발광 다이오드를 제작하여 정공수송층이 유기발광다이오드의 전기 광학적 특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사, 비교하였다. 실험에 사용된 모든 유기물은 플라즈마 처리된 ITO/glass 기판위에 스핀 코팅법으로 도포하였다. 정공 주입층인 PEDOT:PSS 두께를 약 80 nm에서 50 nm로 감소한 경우 PLED 소자의 휘도는 약 $220cd/m^2$ 에서 $450cd/m^2$으로 크게 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 정공 주입층의 두께가 감소할수록 ITO 전극에서 발생한 정공이 보다 쉽게 발광막으로 전달되기 때문이다. 또한 PVK 정공 수송층을 도입한 PLED소자에서 최대 전류밀도와 휘도는 $268mA/cm^2$ 와 $540cd/m^2$ (at 12V)의 값을 각각 나타내었다. PVK 정공 수송층이 도입되지 않은 소자에 비해 전류밀도는 약 14%, 휘도는 약 22%의 특성개선을 나타내었다.

Quantum dots(QDs) with their tunable luminescence properties are uniquely suited for use as lumophores in light emitting device. We investigate the microstructural effect on the electroluminescence(EL). Here we report the use of inorganic semiconductors as robust charge transport layers, and demonstrate devices with light emission. We chose mechanically smooth and compositionally amorphous films to prevent electrical shorts. We grew semiconducting oxide films with low free-carrier concentrations to minimize quenching of the QD EL. The hole transport layer(HTL) and electron transport layer(ETL) were chosen to have carrier concentrations and energy-band offsets similar to the QDs so that electron and hole injection into the QD layer was balanced. For the ETL and the HTL, we selected a 40-nm-thick $ZnSnO_x$ with a resistivity of $10{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, which show bright and uniform emission at a 10 V applied bias. Light emitting uniformity was improved by reducing the rpm of QD spin coating.At a QD concentration of 15.0 mg/mL, we observed bright and uniform electroluminescence at a 12 V applied bias. The significant decrease in QD luminescence can be attributed to the non-uniform QD layers. This suggests that we should control the interface between QD layers and charge transport layers to improve the electroluminescence.

InP quantum dots capped by myristic acid (InP-MA QDs) were synthesized by a typical hot injection method using MA as stablizing agent. The current density across the InP-MA QDs thin film which was fabricated by spin-coating method is about $10^{-4}A/cm^2$ at the electric field of 0.1 MV/cm from I-V measurement on a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) device. The low conductivity of the InP-MA QDs thin film is interpreted as due to the long interdistances among the dots governed by the MA molecules. Therefore, replacing the MA with thioacetic acid (TAA) by biphasic ligand exchange was conducted in order to obtain TAA capped InP QDs (InP-TAA). InP-TAA QDs were designed due to: 1) the TAA is very short molecule; 2) the thiolate groups on the surface of the InP-TAA QDs are expected to undergo condensation reaction upon thermal annealing which connects the QDs within the QD thin film through a very short linker -S-; and 3) TAA provides better passivation to the QDs both in the solution and thin film states which minimizing the effect of surface trapping states.

유기발광소자(OLED)에서 정공 수송층(hole injection layer, HIL)으로 사용되는 N,N'-di-1-naphthyl-N,N'-diphenyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPD)가 정공 주입층(hole injection layer HIL)으로 사용된 PEDOT-PSS 층 위로 진공 증착되었다. PEDOT-PSS 층은 ITO 유리 위에 스핀 코팅되어 제조되었다. 또한, NPD와 $C_{60}$의 공증착에 의해 $C_{60}$이 약 10 wt% 도핑된 NPD-$C_{60}$ 층을 제조하였으며, AFM과 XRD를 이용하여 NPD-$C_{60}$ 박막의 모폴로지 특성을 관찰하였다. 다층 소자를 제조하여 J-Y, L-V 및 전류 효율 특성이 고찰되었다. $C_{60}$박막은 국부적인 결정성 구조를 가지고 있으나, NPD-$C_{60}$ 박막에서는 $C_{60}$ 분자가 균일하게 분산되어 $C_{60}$의 결정성 구조가 확인되지 않았다. 또한, $C_{60}$의 도핑에 의해서 박막의 표면이 균일해지는 것을 확인하였으며, 박막 내의 전류 밀도가 증가됨을 확인하였다. NPD-$C_{60}$ 박막을 이용하여 ITO/PEDOT-PSS/NPD-$C_{60}/Alq_3$/LiF/Al 다층 소자를 제조하였을 때, 소자의 휘도 측면에서 약 80% 향상 효과가 있었으며, 소자 효율 측면에서도 약 25%의 향상을 기대할 수 있었다.
