Abstract

Electroluminescent devices were fabricated using a diamine derivative and tris (8-quinolinolato) aluminum (III) complex as the hole transport layer and the emitting layer, respectively. The glass substrate/anode/hole transport layer/emitting layer/cathode cells structure was employed. The anode was indium-tin-oxide (ITO) transparent electrode, and the cathode was a double layer consisting of first layer of Mg or Li and the second layer of Ag. Intense bright green emission with luminance of 40400 cd/m² was achieved at 18-V with a current density of 330 mA/cm² for the cell with the Al complex doped with 1 mol.% of coumarin 6 and Li/Ag as the cathode
