Comparative Investigation on the Light Emitting Characteristics of OLED Devices with a Single Layer of Alq3 and a Double Layer of Rubrene/Alq3

Green-light emitting OLED with single layer of Alq3 and orange-light emitting OLED with double layer of rubrene/Alq3 as EML were fabricated and characterized comparatively. The two OLED devices were based on an anode of ITO, HTL of TPD, and cathode of Al, respectively. The green light emitting OLED was then prepared with Alq3 as both ETL and EML, while the orange-light emitting OLED was prepared with rubrene deposited on Alq3. All the component layers of the OLED devices were deposited by a thermal evaporation technique in vacuum. Photoluminescence characteristics of the EML layers were investigated. Electrolumiscence characteristics of the OLED devices were comparatively investigated.
