Abstract

Improvement of electroluminescence (EL) efficiency by utilizing quantum confined structure, so-called type I superlattice, has been discussed. Superlattice structures, which consist of 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq3) and 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD), and of 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM) and Alq3, and of (1,10-phenanthroline)-tris -(4,4,4-trifluoro -1-(2-thienyl)-butane-1,3-dionate) europium (III) (Eu(TTA )3phen) and (N,N'-disalicylidene-1,6-hexanediaminate) zinc (II) (1AZM -Hex) are studied. As a result, strong EL emission is observed in the type I superlattice structures. The mechanism of enhancement is discussed using energy band structure.
