Abstract

In this paper, ZnO nanoparticle film is synthesized by using a sol-gel method. Then ITO/ZnO nanoparticles/MEH-PPV/LiF/Al heterostructure devices are fabricated. Next, the emission spectra and electrical properties of the devices are measured for different thickness of the ZnO nanoparticle films. Under DC bias, ultraviolet (UV) electroluminescence (EL) from ZnO band edge emission is observed. When the voltage is higher than 12 V, the UV electroluminescence at 390 nm from ZnO band edge emission can be observed clearly. The EL mechanisms are discussed in terms of carrier tunneling process.
