Abstract

In this paper, white polymer light emitting diodes(WPLEDs) were fabricated and investigated the electrical and optical properties for the prepared devices. ITO(indium tin oxide) and PEDOT:PSS [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfolnate)] as anode and hole injection materials, PFO [poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene)] and MEH-PPV [poly(2-methoxy-5(2-ethylhe xoxy)-1,4-phenylenevinyle)] were used as the light emitting host and guest materials, respectively. The LiF(lithium flouride) and Al(aluminum) were used electron injection materials and cathode materials. Finally, the WPLED with structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PFO:MEH-PPV/LiF/Al was fabricated. The prepared WPLED showed white emission with CIE coordinates of (x=0.36, y=0.35) at the applied voltage of 9V. The maximum current density and luminance were about $740mA/cm^2\;and\;900cd/m^2$ at 13V, respectively. And the maximum current efficiency was 0.37 cd/A at $200cd/m^2$ in luminance.

본 연구에서는 백색 고분자유기 발광다이오드를 제작하여 전기 광학적 특성을 평가하였다. ITO(indium tin oxide)를 양극으로 사용하고 정공수송층으로 PEDOT:PSS [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfolnate)]를 발광물질로는 PFO [poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene)]와 MEH-PPV [poly(2-methoxy-5(2-ethylhexoxy)-1,4-phenyl-enevinyle)]를 각각 host와 dopant로 사용하였다. 전자주입층으로 LiF(lithium flouride)와 음극으로 Al(aluminum)을 증착하여 최종적으로 ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PFO:MEH-PPV/LiF/Al 구조를 갖는 백색 고분자 유기발광다이오드를 제작하고 PFO와 MEH-PPV의 농도에 따른 전기 광학적 특성 변화를 조사하였다. 제작된 소자는 9V에서(x=0.36, y=0.35)의 CIE 색좌표를 갖는 백색 발광이 관찰되었으며, 최대 전류밀도와 휘도는 약 13V의 인가전압에서 $740mA/cm^2,\;900cd/m^2$의 값을 나타내었으며, $200cd/m^2$ 휘도에서 0.37 cd/A의 최대 전류효율이 관찰되었다.
