Abstract

The metal chelate complex of aluminum 8-hydroxyquinolines $(Alq_3)$ is an important electro-luminescent (EL) material used in fabricating organic light emitting (OLEDs). In this work, diodes / displays using in house synthesized $Alq_3$ and simple structure have been fabricated. It is demonstrated that luminance of $12460\;cd/m^2$ and efficiency of 3.1 cd/A are achievable in these fluorescent devices. Possible degradation effects are analyzed.
