Abstract
A high performance inverted green emission organic light emitting diode with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 20% and a maximum power efficiency of 80 lm/W was realized by properly selecting an electron transporting material to have no energy barrier for electron injection between the n-doped electron transporting layer (n-ETL) and the ETL. Based on the energy levels and the current density-voltage characteristics of electron only devices, we demonstrate that the interface between an n-ETL and an ETL even in homo-junction is as important as the interface between the cathode and the n-ETL for efficient electron injection into an emitting layer. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
