Abstract
Organic light-emitting diodes with low driving voltage based on fullerene (C60) as an electron transport layer and tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato)-aluminum (Alq3) as a buffer layer are successfully fabricated. For the optimal device with structures of ITO/NPB (40 nm)/Alq3 /(30 nm)/C60 (20 nm)/Alq3 (3 nm)/LiF (0.8 nm)/Al (120 nm), the turn-on driving voltage is 2.8 V, which is reduced 0.4 V compared with that of the control device. Meanwhile, the driving voltage of 4.9 V has been achieved at a luminance of 1000 cd/m2 in this device, which is reduced 1.8 V compared with that of the control device. The results have a significant effect on the commercialization application of the devices.
