Abstract

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were fabricated containing guest molecule of Tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminium (Alq3) blend with host molecules of N,N’-diphenyl-N,N’-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1’-biphenyl-4,4’-diamine (TPD) and 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) small molecules. Optical, photoluminescence (PL), electroluminescence (EL) and impedance properties were investigated with respect to blend systems. Optical energy gap and PL intensity obtained increased in blend systems attributed to high energy transfer from host to guest molecules. Luminance and current efficiency were enhanced for blended OLEDs as compared to that of pure Alq3, related to high accumulation of charge carrier and exciton recombination in guest. Impedance spectra show conductivity of OLEDs was improved by blending technique..
