The optical properties of N,N'-bis (Inaphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPB) and tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (Alq 3) organic materials used as hole transport and electron transport layers in organic light-emitting devices (OLED) have been investigated. The NPB and Alq 3 layers were prepared using thermal evaporation method. The results show that the energy band gap of Alq 3 is thickness independence while the energy band gap of NPB decreases with the increasing of sample thickness. For the case of photoluminescence the Alq 3 with thickness of 84 nm shows the highest relative intensity peak at 510 nm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
