Abstract
When applying the voltage pulses (6 V) to the organic light-emitting diode based on tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminium (Alq3) as the electron transporting layer, current density and luminance increased by 16% and 20%, respectively, by providing the reverse bias (−16 V) during the off-period. By using displacement current measurement, we can deduce that such an enhancement resulted from the interfacial positive charges trapped at the Alq3/cathode interface, with the relaxation time ∼0.4 ms. By doping the organic material as the carrier trapping sites at Alq3/cathode interface, such current density and luminance increase can be further enhanced. 25% and 36% increase in current density and luminance was demonstrated with such driving technique, respectively.
