Abstract

We have synthesized 4'-nitrobiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (NBCA) and fabricated the hole-only device consisting of ITO/NBCA SAM/TPD (1500 ${\AA}$)/Al (500 ${\AA}$) and the organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) consisting of ITO/NBCA SAM/TPD (600 ${\AA}$)/Alq3 (600 ${\AA}$)/Al (600 ${\AA}$). The prepared hole-only device with NBCA exhibited lower driving voltage than the device with 4-nitrobenzoic acid (NBA). OLEDs using NBCA also show high external quantum efficiency.
