Organic light-emitting devices with a 2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(4-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole layer between the α-naphtylphenyliphenyl diamine and 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum

Abstract

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) with a 2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(4-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole layer between the α-naphtylphenyliphenyl diamine and 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum were fabricated using a vacuum evaporation method. Compared to the different thickness of the buffer layer, the OLEDs with the 1.0nm buffer layer showed the maximum power efficiency. The enhancements in power efficiency result from an improved balance of hole and electron injections. After comparing among different density buffer layer, PBD are good candidates for hole-injecting buffer layer, and 1.0nm PBD buffer layer shows better operational durability and life.
