TLDR
In this article, a stable organic electroluminescent devices based on vapor-deposited Alq thin films have been achieved, which are derived from several factors including: (1) a multilayer thin-film structure with a CuPc stabilized hole-injection contact, (2) a hole-transport diamine layer using a naphthyl substituted benzidine derivative, and (3) an ac drive wave form.
Abstract
Highly stable organic electroluminescent devices based on vapor‐deposited Alq thin films have been achieved. The improvement in stability is derived from several factors including: (1) a multilayer thin‐film structure with a CuPc stabilized hole‐injection contact, (2) a hole‐transport diamine layer using a naphthyl‐substituted benzidine derivative, and (3) an ac drive wave form. These emissive devices have shown an operational half‐lifetime of about 4000 h from an initial luminance of 510 cd/m2.

Thickness dependent device characteristics of sandwich polymer light-emitting electrochemical cell

TL;DR: In this article, the active layer thickness of a polymer light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC) was compared to a PLED, and it was shown that the thickness can strongly influence several key LEC performance parameters such as maximum luminance, current efficiency, and operating lifetime.

Diffusion – the Hidden Menace in Organic Optoelectronic Devices

TL;DR: In a film stack of bathocuproine (BCP) (electron transport layer), fac-tris(2-phenylpyridyl) iridium(III) [Ir(ppy)(3)]; CBP layers rapidly interdiffuse by anomalous Fickian diffusion, which leads to a decrease of up to 33% in the solid-state emission but no change in color.

Enhanced lifetime of organic light-emitting diodes using soluble tetraalkyl-substituted copper phthalocyanines as anode buffer layers

TL;DR: In this paper, two soluble tetraalkyl-substituted copper phthalocyanines (CuPcs) are used as hole-blocking materials that can be used in the Alq3-based organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
