摘要
The device characteristics and the interface electronic structures of organic light-emitting devices based on tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum were investigated with Al/CaF2, Al/LiF, and Al-only cathodes. Similar to the Al/LiF cathode, the Al/CaF2 cathode greatly improved the performance of the device over the Al-only cathode. However, a photoelectron spectroscopy study revealed that despite the performance improvement, the evolution of the new peaks during the Al/CaF2 cathode formation closely resembled those of the Al-only cathode rather than the Al/LiF cathode.
