Electroluminescence of Layer Thickness, Carbon Nano-particle Dopants, and Percolation Threshold Electric Conductivity of Fully Conjugated Rigid-rod PolymerChang, Chih-hao 02 July 2010 (has links)
Polymer light emitting diodes (PLED) were using a heterocyclic aromatic rigid-rod polymer poly-p-phenylene-benzobisoxazole (PBO) as an opto-electronically active layer; and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) as a hole transporting layer. Aluminum (Al) and indium tin oxide (ITO) were served as device cathode and anode, respectively. [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) or derivatized multi-wall carbon nano-tube (MWCNT-C18), with great electron transporting ability, was doped into PBO to enhance the performance of PLED devices as well as the thin-film electrical conductivity.
The optical length was changed by using different spin coating speeds and durations. From the research, the £fmax of electroluminescence (EL) was blue-shifted as PEDOT:PSS spin coating speed increased for a thinner layer. Once using a higher spin coating speed repeatedly to coat PEDOT:PSS, the £fmax of electroluminescence was red-shifted. If the PEDOT:PSS film thicknesses were similar, the EL spectra were almost the same, independent of device processing scheme.
The injection current and EL intensity were enhanced by doping PC61BM or MWCNT- C18. The electric conductivity parallel to film surface (£m¡ü) was increased as the doping concentration increased. Because of the extremely different aspect ratio, the MWCNT-C18 had a lower percolation threshold concentration. Therefore, at a low MWCNT-C18 doping concentration, the injection current and the EL intensity were enhanced compared with those of PC61BM.

Photovoltaic Cells and Light Emitting Diodes of Fully Conjugated Rigid-rod PolymerTsai, Jung-lung 24 July 2006 (has links)
Polymer photovoltaic cell (PV cell) utilizes a polymer to absorb photons for generating excitons. When excitons are separated into electrons and holes, the device has the photovoltaic effect. Polymer light emitting diode (PLED) injects electrons and holes respectively from cathode and anode into a polymer emission layer. Some of the electrons and the holes would recombine to induce light emission.
This research used a heterocyclic aromatic rigid-rod polymer poly-p-phenylene- benzobisoxazole (PBO) as the opto-electronic layer, and a conducting material of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) as the hole transport layer. PV cells were fabricated using indium-tin-oxide (ITO) as anode and aluminium as cathode. Same layer arrangement was applied for PLEDs. These two kinds of devices were measured for electrical and optical response.
It was evidenced that the addition of PEDOT:PSS layer facilitated the separation of excitons into electrons and holes at the PBO/PEDOT:PSS interface. Insertion of a LiF layer between PBO layer and Al cathode reduced their energy band gap and facilitated charge transport leading to an enhanced efficiency for PV cells and PLEDs.
Thickness variations were found on spun PBO layer. According to emission intensity, we knew that the PBO layer quality was significant for electroluminescence. Introduction of a PEDOT:PSS layer improved the interface between ITO and PBO. The thickness of PEDOT:PSS layer depended on the ITO surface roughness. With a PEDOT:PSS layer, the opto-electronic efficiency of PV cell and PLED was improved.

Effects of Layer Thickness on Electroluminescence of Fully Conjugated Rigid-rod Polymer Light Emitting DiodesTseng, Hua-wei 12 July 2008 (has links)
A heterocyclic aromatic rigid-rod polymer poly-p-phenylene-benzobisoxazole (PBO) was applied as the opto-electronic layer¡Fand a conducting material of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythio-phene):poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PEDOT: PSS) was used as the hole transport layer. Aluminum (Al) and indium tin oxide (ITO) were served as device cathode and anode¡Arespectively, fabricated into a bi-layer structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PBO/Al for electrical and luminescence responses.
This research demonstrated an increase of current density and a decrease of threshold voltage with a decrease of PBO layer thickness from 90 nm to 27 nm to facilitate electron tunneling and electron-hole recombination. With a lower spin coating speed, polymer chain would aggregate and inter-penetrate resulted in red-shift of electroluminescence (EL) emission spectrum. Furthermore, micro-cavity effect might influence EL spectrum by varying layer thickness. Modulation of PBO layer thickness led to tunable EL emission color.
It was also demonstrated that an increase of current density and a slightly decrease of threshold voltage with a PEDOT:PSS film thickness changing from 96 nm to 17 nm at a constant PBO layer thickness of 90 nm. Micro-cavity effect thus influenced EL emission for a tunable emission color.
Photolithography was applied to obtain ITO substrate of grating depth of periodic variation and then coated with a PEDOT:PSS leading to a grated PEDOT:PSS layer of periodic thickness. This led to ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PBO/Al device showing broadened EL emission spectra.
