Abstract

To enhance the electron injection from the cathode of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), We have studied characteristics of device that electron injection layer(EIL) is inserted between emissive layer and cathode. We fabricated bi-layer cathode $Li_2O$(x nm)/Al(100nm) and LiF(x nm)/Al(100nm) using LiF and $Li_2O$ as an electron injection layer. We analyzed the current efficiency, luminance efficiency, and external quantum efficiency of the device by varying the thickness of $Li_2O$ and LiF to be 0.5nm, 1nm, or 3nm. Using the EIL, we have obtained the efficiency of 7cd/A and the luminance of $20,000cd/m^2$. There is an improvement of efficiency by more than 3 times than the device without the $Li_2O$ layer.
