Improvement in Device Performance and Reliability of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes through Deposition Rate Control by Shun-Wei Liu, Chih-Chien Lee, Yu-Ting Chung, Jiun-Haw Lee, Chin-Ti Chen, Juen-Kai Wang

“…We demonstrated a fabrication technique to reduce the driving voltage, increase the current efficiency, and extend the operating lifetime of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) by simply controlling the deposition rate of bis(10-hydroxybenzo[h]qinolinato) beryllium (Bebq2) used as the emitting layer and the electron-transport layer. In our optimized device, 55 nm of Bebq2 was first deposited at a faster deposition rate of 1.3 nm/s, followed by the deposition of a thin Bebq2 (5 nm) layer at a slower rate of 0.03 nm/s. …”
