The performance of solution-processed organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) is often limited by non-uniform contacts. In this work, we introduce Ni-containing solution-processed metal oxide (MO) interfacial layers inserted between indium tin oxide (ITO) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) to improve the bottom electrode contact for OLEDs using the poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) derivative Super-Yellow (SY) as an emission layer. For ITO/Ni-containing MO/PEDOT:PSS bottom electrode structures we show enhanced wetting properties that result in an improved OLED device efficiency. Best performance is achieved using a Cu-Li co-doped spinel nickel cobaltite [(Cu-Li):NiCo2O4], for which the current efficiency and luminous efficacy of SY OLEDs increased, respectively, by 12% and 11% from the values obtained for standard devices without a Ni-containing MO interface modification between ITO and PEDOT:PSS. The enhanced performance was attributed to the improved morphology of PEDOT:PSS, which consequently increased the hole injection capability of the optimized ITO/(Cu-Li):NiCo2O4/PEDOT:PSS electrode.

It has been demonstrated that high efficiency and brightness can be achieved in phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) by using molybdenum oxide (MoO3)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as dual hole injection layers (HILs) on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate. The dual HILs were simply fabricated by spin-coating PEDOT:PSS solution on a thin MoO3 layer deposited by vacuum thermal evaporation. This work reveals that PEDOT:PSS coating on MoO3 resulted in a smoother surface, simultaneously MoO3 lamella prevented acid corrosion of PEDOT:PSS on ITO. Meanwhile, with the insertion of PEDOT:PSS and MoO3 as HILs between anode and hole transporting layer (HTL), the energy barrier has been reduced and gave rise to effective hole injection. OLEDs with dual HILs resulted in the maximum current efficiency (CE) of 61.3 cd A[Formula: see text] and maximum luminance of 112200 cd cm[Formula: see text], which showed a superior performance compared to those devices with single HIL of PEDOT:PSS or MoO3. Our results proved the composition of PEDOT:PSS and MoO3 as HILs were beneficial for high performance OLEDs.

ABSTRACTWe describe the fabrication and characterization of solution processed organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on novel near-infrared emitting erbium(III) complexes, consisting of three perfluoroalkyl-β-diketone ligands and 5-NO2-1,10-phenanthroline as chelating N,N-donor molecule. The function of N,N molecule is to saturate the coordination sphere of the erbium ion and to harvest excitation light that can be transferred to the excited states of the erbium ion. The devices have been fabricated by spin-coating, using 1 %wt methanol precursor solutions. These Er-complexes form very uniform thin films. The OLED structure is glass/indium–tin oxide(ITO) / poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) / poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/Er-complex/Ca/Al. The good electrical response, with low threshold voltages (a few volts), together with the very uniform thin films formed, made these complexes promising for IR emitting displays.
