Abstract

In this paper, electroluminescence from organic light-emitting diodes based on 2-(4′-biphenyl)-5-(4″-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) and N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4, 4′-diamine (TPD) is reported. Based on the exciplex emission from the TPD/PBD interface under high electric fields, the influence of the TPD/PBD interface on exciplex emission was investigated by increasing the number of TPD/PBD interfaces while keeping both the total thickness of the TPD layer and the PBD layer constant in the multiple quantum-wells (MQW) device ITO/TPD/[PBD/TPD]n/PBD/Al (n is the well number that was varied from 0 to 3). Our experimental data shows that exciplex emission can be enhanced by suitably increasing the well number of this kind of MQW-like device.
