패턴화된 ITO/Glass 기판위에 정공수송층으로 PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythi-ophene)poly (styerne sulfolnate))를 발광층으로 MEH-PPV (poly(2-methoxy-5-(2-ethyhexoxy)-1,4-phenylenvinylene))을 사용하여 스핀코팅법으로 ITO/PEDOT:PSS/MEH-PPV/Al 구조의 고분자 유기전계 발광소자 (polymer light emitting diode, PLED)를 제작하였다. MEH-PPV 용액의 농도(0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.5 wt$\%$)변화를 변수로 하여 제작된 PLED소자의 전기$cdot$광학적 특성 변화를 조사하였다. MEH-PPV의 농도가 $0.5{~}0.9 wt\%$에서 가장 양호한 전기-광학 특성을 보여 주었다. 한편 $1.5 wt\%$의 고동도의 MEH-PPV를 갖는 PLED 소자에서는 전류와 휘도 값이 크게 감소하였다. 즉, MEH-PPV의 농도가 $0.5 wt\%$일 때 9V 전압 인가시 최고 발광 휘도와 효율은 $409 cd/m^2$와 4.90 lm/W를 각각 나타내었다. PLED 소자의 발광 스펙트럼은 $560{~}585 nm$ 파장을 갖는 오렌지 계열의 발광을 나타내었다.
In this report, Polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) with an ITO/PEDOT:PSS/MEH-PPV/Al structure were prepared by spin coating method on the glass substrate patterned ITO (indium tin oxide), using PEDOT:PSS(poly(3,4=ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfolnate)) as the hole transfer material and MEH-PPV(poly(2-methoxy-5-(2-ethyhexoxy)-1,4-phenylenvinylene)) having a different concentration (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.5 wt$\%$) as the emitting material. The electrical and optical properties of the prepared PLED samples were investigated. The good electrical and optical properties were observed for the PLED samples with a MEH-PPV concentration ranging from 0.5 to $0.9 wt\%$. However, the current and luminance values for PLED sample with $1.5 wt\%$ of MEH-PPV decreased greatly. The maximum luminance and light efficiency for the PLEDs with concentration of $0.5 wt\%$ MEH-PPV were $409 cd/m^2$ and 4.90 Im/W at 9 V, respectively. The emission spectrums were found to be $560{~}585 nm$ in wavelength showing orange color.
