Abstract

In a previous report, we demonstrated that poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) derived from poly (ionic liquid) (PEDOT:PIL) constitutes a polymeric hole-injecting material capable of improving device lifetime in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).was attributed to aprotection characteristic of PEDOT:PIL for the indium extraction from ITO electrodes, which frequently occurrs in the OLED device with the conventional PEDOT materials. In this study, we report the OLED device lifetime as well asvice efficiencycan be further improved with the modified PEDOT:PIL in whichorganic compounds are incorporated. The deviced performance will be presented in terms of device lifetime and efficiencies.
