Film density, judging

Judging from the present OLED status, the most important research was Partridge s report on the EL utilized poly(vinyl carbazole) (PVCz) thin films in 1982.26-29 He used the 500-nm-thick PVCz thin films doped with fluorescent molecules as an emissive center, equipped with the efficient hole-injection electrode (SbCls/PVCz) and the electron-injection electrode (cesium) as a low-workfunction metal. Although no quantitative measurement of luminance was described, surprisingly the injection current density reached 1 mA/cm2. Nowadays, we can fabricate very similar OLED devices with superior EL performance. Thus, Partridge s device contributed to establishing the prototypes of present OLED devices.
