Abstract

It is well-known that organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are driven by injected charges from an anode and a cathode. Therefore, the proper energy level matching between electrodes and organic charge-transport layers is necessary to obtain highly efficient charge injection at a low voltage to obtain high-efficiency OLEDs.
