摘要
Insertion of a thin film of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) at the interface of electrodes and organic layers has been investigated. Insertion of a thin film of Al2O3 at the interface of the ITO anode and the diamine derivative (TPD) layers, as well as at the interface of the X-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq(3)) and the Mg:Ag cathode in the electroluminescent (EL) diode has been examined. The insertion of an Al2O3 layer with a proper thickness was observed to enhances the emission efficiency of the device. The mechanism of quantum efficiency enhancement of the device was studied.
