Exposure of the films to ultraviolet and visible light (200-800 nm), and externally applied voltage produced photocurrent in the range 10-"-10-6 A/ cm'; the magnitude depended on the polarity of the illuminated electrode. This asymmetry is a function of electric field and light penetration depth. It is attributed to a combined effect of varying excitonic electron injection from the Al cathode and a difference in mobility of holes and electrons. Spectral features of the photocurrent vary from sample to sample, but a notable number of recurrent bands can be distinguished, in addition to principal features such as their antibatic behaviour with the absorption spectrum and higher photogeneration yield in the longwavelength part of the spectra above 400 nm. This behaviour can be explained by a vast range of orbitally and spin forbidden electron transitions identified in high-resolution absorption spectra of CsO. Correspondingly, a complex relationship between photocurrent and light intensity is observed.

In DL configuration the DPDCB works both as emitter as well as hole transporting layer together with Triphenylamine (TPD) and (Hydroxyquinolinolato)~Al(III) (Alqs) respectively. Luminance of about 1200 cd/m2 was achieved when the DPDCB is used as hole transporting layer (HTL)

Also, a difference in the field dependence of the EPH for these devices has been observed. We demonstrate that these experimental findings can principally be understood in terms of the Zeeman and hyperfine interactions of electrons located on phosphor molecules and holes located on the hole-transporting molecules, forming correlated electron-hole pairs in the emitting layer. The difference in the field behavior of the effect for the two phosphors results from their different molecular structures.

The solid state photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield is as high as 60%, about ®ve-fold the Alq 3 value. In spite of the high PL yield, EL ef®ciency is not as much high; this can be attributed to a strong electron mobility dependence on the electric ®eld, which contributes to a slower increase with the ®eld of the EL quantum yield.

The doping with trinitrofluo-renone changes their optical and electrical characteristics: new optical absorption bands appear in the visible region and the doped polymers show photoconductive properties. The photoresponse seems to be related to the nature of the organic group attached to the polymer chain.

The EL diodes constructed by spin coating technique contain Bisphenol-A-polycarbonate (PC), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD) and 2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(4-terbutylphenyl)1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) with the configuration: ITO/PC(20%):TPD(40%):PBD(40%)/Ca, Ag. The EL emission ranges in the green-yellow part of the spectrum and is red shifted respect to the photolu minescence (PL) both of PC:TPD and of PC:PBD. It can be assigned to emission from an exciplex state resulting from the interaction between TPD and PBD, as confirmed by stationary and pulsed fluorescence spectroscopy, and also from other states (triplets, traps or ‘electoplexes’) emitting at lower energies.

The results of experimental and theoretical studies presented show that the EL intensity (QEp,,) is, in general, a nonlinear function of the current density (j) in an EL diode. Often it can be approximated by a power-type function @EL ajn, with the power, n, dependent on LED structure, the nature of light-emitting material, injection and transport mechanisms of the charge carriers. In the LEDs with carrier mobilities independent of electric field 12 n < 2 for both ICEL and VCEL operation modes. In the ICEL, n = 1+ w,/w,, where w1 and o2 are quantities characterizing various charge injection mechanisms into the EL sample. Field-dependent mobility and charge carrier trapping lead @EL to be a sublinear or supralinear function of j. Selected examples of experimental &(j) relationships on single-layer ITO/Alq,/Mg/Ag (%hydroxyquinoline aluminium complex, Alq,), double-layer ITO/TPD/Alq,/Mg/Ag (aromatic diamine, TPD), ITO/QAC/Alq,/Mg/Ag (quinacridone, QAC) , and triple-layer ITO/QAC/Alq,/PBP/Mg/Ag (perylene bisimide pigment, PBP) are presented briefly to illustrate various types of operation modes of organic LEDs.
