Abstract
Bright organic electroluminescent devices were developed using a metal-doped organic layer as an electron-injecting layer at the interface between the cathode and the emitter layer. The typical device structure is a glass substrate/indium-tin oxide/arylamine/tris(8-quinolinolato)Al (Alq)/metal-doped Alq/Al. Dopant metals are highly reactive metals such as Li, Sr, and Sm. A device with Li-doped Alq layer showed high luminance of over 30 000 cd/m2, while a device without the metal-doped Alq layer exhibited only 3400 cd/m2. These results suggest that the Li doping to the Alq layer generates the radical anions of Alq serving as intrinsic electron carriers, which result in low barrier height for electron injection and high electron conductivity of the Li-doped Alq layer.

Highly efficient organic devices based on electrically doped transport layers.

TL;DR: Most present-day semiconductor devices use inorganic crystalline materials, with single-crystalline silicon dominating other materials like GaAs by about a factor of 1000, but organic semiconductors have recently gained much attention and are already broadly applied as photoconductors for copiers and laser printers.
