Abstract
Organic light emitting diode contain couples of thin film layer, and efficient balanced
holes and electrons injection is needed so as to have efficient device. Here, the injection is
critical at around organic thin-film layers between the metal/transparent conductive oxide (TCO)
contact of anode and cathode, that is, injection as the charge transfer across the interface between
a metal/TCO contact and an adjacent organic layer in the device. In OLEDs charge injection is
the process of transporting electrons or holes from an electrode to the HOMO or LUMO in the
organic layers of OLEDs. The charge injected into the OLED device is affected bythe density of
mobile carriers, heights of the injection barrier,temperature and the overall charge injection
efficiency at the interface. Studies on temperature dependence of the injection current for
barrier heights indicated a possibility of the crossover from injection-limited current (ILC) and
space-charge-limited current (SCLC)with decreasing temperature irrespective of the injection
barrier height. The charge injection efficiency of either holes or electrons determines the charge
balance, which intern determine the efficiency OLEDs. Thus, considering one of the dominant
holeinjection layer(HIL),poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS),
the charge injection needs to be optimized, where in this case the PEDOT:PSS work function can
be tuned by time dependent UV-ozone exposure of the polymer. Similarly, the work function of
other HIL materials can be controlled by different menses - indicated by different studies, and
the device efficiency can be improved significantly. Thus, balanced charge injection is important
in OLEDs to enhance the performance of OLEDs.
