The Selection of Anode and Cathode Materials for Top Emission Organic Light-Emitting Diodes by Fuh-Shyang Juang, Krishn Das Patel, Kuo-Chun Huang, Wen-Xaing Juang, Jeng-Yue Chen, Lin-Ann Hong

“…There is a high energy barrier between the work function of Ag and MoO3 HOMO (5.3 eV)—about 1.1 eV—which is still not conducive to the hole injection, so a thin layer of high work function metal Au (work function 5.1 eV) was added to the top of the anode silver, which more matches with the MoO3 energy level. It can make the hole easier to inject from the anode to MoO3 (HIL) and protect the silver from oxidation. …”
