Current-Voltage Characteristics of Single Layer Polymer Light Emitting Diodes Under High Intensity Electrical Excitation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
We study the current-voltage characteristics of both double and single carrier polymer light emitting devices in the high intensity electrical excitation regime. Single layer devices are investigated with the orange-emitting MEH-PPV as the active polymer. Performing very low duty (≈0.001 %) pulsed electroluminescence measurements with electric fields up to 1*109 V/m, we observe for the hole-dominated devices a space charge limited current with a saturating mobility and a saturating external quantum efficiency of 1%. For double carrier devices, the current starts to saturate in the high-field regime, appoaching Ohmic-like behavior. We report current densities of 100 A/cm2and brightnesses of 7*105 cd/m2. The spectral features are monitored below the onset of degradation.
