We studied the reliability of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) featuring a NPD hole transport layer and Alq3 electron transport layer, subjected to thermal and electrical stress. The main results can be summarized as follows: temperature alone (without bias) cannot induce device degradation at least up to 60 C; during constant current stress at 120 mA/cm2, temperature can strongly enhance the degradation rate, even though the temperature increases only by 40 C; the degradation is more severe in the central part of the device where the self-heating is larger.

Abstract

We studied the reliability of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) featuring a NPD hole transport layer and Alq3 electron transport layer, subjected to thermal and electrical stress. The main results can be summarized as follows: temperature alone (without bias) cannot induce device degradation at least up to 60 C; during constant current stress at 120 mA/cm2, temperature can strongly enhance the degradation rate, even though the temperature increases only by 40 C; the degradation is more severe in the central part of the device where the self-heating is larger.
