Emission Characteristics of Blue Fluorescence Tandem OLED Using MoO_x

Abstract

To improve emission efficiency of organic light emitting devices (OLEDs), we fabricated the tandem OLED of ITO / 2-TNATA / NPB / SH-1: 3 vol.% BD-2 / Bphen / Liq / Al / MoO x (X nm) / 2-TNATA / NPB / SH-1: 3 vol.% BD-2 / Bphen / Liq / Al structure. And emission properties of single OLED and tandem OLED with MoO x thickness as charge generation layer (CGL) were measured. The current emission efficiency and quantum efficiency of tandem OLED with MoO x of 3 nm thickness were improved compare with single OLED from 7.46 cd/A and 5.39% to 22.57 cd/A and 11.76%, respectively. In case of thicker or thinner than MoO x of 3~5 nm, the current emission efficiency and quantum efficiency were decreased, because balance of electron and hole in emission layer was not matching. The driving voltage was increased from 8 V of single OLED to 15 V of tandem OLED by thickness increase of OLED. As a result, it was possible to improve the emission efficiency of OLEDs by optimized MoO x thickness.
