Abstract
Both hole and electron injection layers are commonly used in recent OLEDs to reduce the injection barrier between electrodes and organic layers. This injection barrier originates from the energy difference between the work function (WF) of the electrode and the energy level of the organic layer. For instance, the hole injection barrier is defined as the energy difference between the Fermi level of the anode and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level of the organic layer on the anode, as shown in Fig. 4.1a. Thus, an ideal hole injection material is the material that can make the surface WF of the anode larger (Fig. 4.1b). On the other hand, an ideal electron injection material is the material that can make the surface WF of the cathode smaller (Fig. 4.1c).
