Organic light emitting diodes is a new display technology, which uses organic thin materials that are placed between conductors. When an electric current is applied, a bright light is emitted. OLEDs are thin, transparent, flexible, foldable displays. In 1987 researchers of Eastman Kodak company invented OLED diode technology. The principal inventors were Chemists Ching W. Tang and Steven Van Slyke. In 2001 they received an Industrial Innovation Award from the American Chemical Society for their contribution in organic light emitting diodes. In 2003, Kodak realised its first OLED display had 512 by 218 pixels, 2.2 inch. Two technologies necessary to make flexible OLEDs were invented by Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Department of Energy. Many researchers are contributing to improve the OLED technology. In this paper we give a brief of what is OLED, types of OLED, different fabrication methods of OLED, advantages and disadvantages of OLED.

AbstractAlthough significant progress has been made in the development of light-emitting materials for organic light-emitting diodes along with the elucidation of emission mechanisms, the electron injection/transport mechanism remains unclear, and the materials used for electron injection/transport have been basically unchanged for more than 20 years. Here, we unravelled the electron injection/transport mechanism by tuning the work function near the cathode to about 2.0 eV using a superbase. This extremely low-work function cathode allows direct electron injection into various materials, and it was found that organic materials can transport electrons independently of their molecular structure. On the basis of these findings, we have realised a simply structured blue organic light-emitting diode with an operational lifetime of more than 1,000,000 hours. Unravelling the electron injection/transport mechanism, as reported in this paper, not only greatly increases the choice of materials to be used for devices, but also allows simple device structures.

For predicting life for light-emitting devices quickly and accurately, a novel life prediction model, namely an extrapolation model of accelerated life and stress, has been proposed. In this model, a Weibull function is employed to fit luminance decay data under multiple groups of accelerated stresses, and the corresponding accelerated life is obtained. By determination coefficients and root mean square errors, a power function is determined as an extrapolated function to describe the relationship between accelerated life and stress and the life of the light-emitting devices. For organic light-emitting diodes, three groups of constant-stress accelerated degradation tests were conducted by increasing current stress. An extrapolation model of accelerated life and stress was applied to process the collected luminance decay data and was evaluated by a careful comparison with organic light-emitting diode life. The results indicate that the self-designed experimental scheme for organic light-emitting diode is feasible and versatile; the predicted life is 17,113 hours, which is close to the service life derived from user feedback, and the relative error is only 2.2%. This shows that the extrapolation model of accelerated life and stress has high precision; the model reveals the expected law of luminance changing with time and intuitively depicts the life characteristics under accelerated stresses without conventional life tests. This will pave the way for a new method to predict and evaluate the life of modern light-emitting devices.

We examined the electro-optical characteristics of organic light emitting diodes according to the N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di(m-tolyl)-benzidine (TPD) thicknesses. The thicknesses of TPD were varied from 5 nm to 50 nm. The current density of the device with a TPD thickness of 5 nm was 8.94 times higher than that with a thickness of 50 nm at a driving voltage of 10 V. According to the conduction–current characteristics of conductors, the current densities improved with a decreasing TPD thickness. Different from the current density–voltage characteristics, the current efficiency–current density characteristics showed an improved efficiency with a 50 nm TPD thickness. The current efficiencies of a device with a 5 nm TPD thickness at a driving voltage of 10 V was 0.148 and at a 50 nm TPD thickness 0.993 cd/A, which was 6.7 times higher than the 5 nm TPD thickness. These results indicated that hole transport in Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) devices were more efficient with thin 5 nm TPD than with thick 50 nm TPD, while electron transport was more efficient with thick 50 nm TPD, which caused conflicting results in the current efficiency-current density and current density-voltage characteristics according to TPD thicknesses.
