Abstract

Polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) with ITO/EDOT:PSS/PVK/PFO-poss/LiF/Al structures were prepared by the spin coating method on ITO(indium tin oxide)/glass substrates. PFO-poss[Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) end capped with poss] was used as light emitting polymer. PVK[poly(N-vinyl carbazole)] and PEDOT:PSS [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfolnate)] polymers were used as the hole injection and transport materials. The effect of PFO-poss concentration and the heating temperatures on the electrical and optical properties of the devices were investigated. At the same concentration of PFO-poss solution, the current density and luminance of PLED device tend to increase as the annealing temperature increase from $100^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$. The maximum luminance was found to be about 958 cd/m2 at 13V for the PLED device with 1.0 wt% PFO-poss at the annealing temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. In addition, the PLED device showed bluish white emission through the strong greenish peak with 523 nm in wavelength. As the concentration of PFO-poss increase from 0.5 wt% to 1.0 wt% and temperature of PLEDs increase from $100^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$, the emission color tend to be shifted from blue with (x, y) = (0.17,0.14) to bluish white with (x, y) : (0.29,0.41) in CIE color coordinate.

ITO(Indium tin oxide)glass 기판 위에 PEDOT:PSS[poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (styrene sulfonate)]와 PVX[poly(N-vinyl carbazole)] 고분자 물질을 정공 주입 및 수송층으로, 발광층으로 PFO-poss[Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) end capped with poss]를 사용하여 ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/PFO-poss/LiF/Al 구조의 고분자 발광다이오드를 제작하였다. 이때 스핀코팅을 위한 발광 유기재료의 농도와 열처리 온도가 소자의 전기적, 광학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 동일한 PFO-poss 농도에서 열처리 온도가 $100^{\circ}C$에서 $200^{\circ}C$로 증가할 경우 PLED 소자의 전류밀도와 휘도특성이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 1.0 wt% 농도를 갖는 PFO-poss 유기물 발광충을 $200^{\circ}C$ 온도로 열처리 할 경우 $958\;cd/m^{2}$의 최대 휘도를 나타내었으며 발광파장은 523 nm 녹색계통의 파장이 크게 증가하여 청백색에 가까운 발광을 나타내었다. PFO-poss 농도증가(0.5 wt%에서 1.0 wt%)와 함께 PLED 소자의 열처리 온도를 $100^{\circ}C$에서 $200^{\circ}C$로 증가할 경우 CIE 색좌표는 청색 (x, y : 0.17, 0.14)에서 청백색 (x, y = 0.29, 0.41)발광으로 천이하는 경향을 나타내었다.
