[0562] Example 1

[0563] 15 Ω / cm as an anode 2 A glass substrate (Corning product) with an ITO electrode (1200 Å) formed on it was cut into pieces 50 mm x 50 mm x 0.5 mm in size, ultrasonically cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and pure water for 15 minutes each, then cleaned by irradiating with ultraviolet light and exposing to ozone for 30 minutes, and then mounted in a vacuum deposition apparatus.

[0564] A hole injection layer with a thickness of 120 nm was formed by vacuum depositing TDATA (4,4'4"-Tris(N,N-diphenylamino)triphenylamine) on the anode, and then a hole transport layer with a thickness of 10 nm was formed by vacuum depositing NPB (N,N'-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenylbenzidine) on the hole injection layer.

[0565] A 20 nm thick light-emitting layer was formed by simultaneously depositing a host (TCTA(4,4',4''-Tris(carbazol-9-yl)-triphenylamine)) and a dopant (PIQIr(acac)(bis(1-phenylisoquinoline)acetylacetonate iridium)) in a weight ratio of 99:1 on top of the hole transport layer.

[0566] Subsequently, Bphen (4,7-Diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) is deposited to a thickness of 5 nm on the upper portion of the emissive layer to form a hole blocking layer, BCP (2,9-Dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline):Liq (5:5) is deposited to a thickness of 20 nm on the hole blocking layer to form an electron transport layer, Compound 1 is deposited to a thickness of 1 nm on the upper portion of the electron transport layer to form an electron injection layer, Ag:Mg (95:5) is vacuum deposited on the upper portion of the electron injection layer to form a cathode with a thickness of 10 nm, and β-NPB (N,N'-Bis(naphthalen-2-yl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)benzidine) is deposited to a thickness of 70 nm on the cathode to form a capping layer, thereby forming ITO (1200 Å) / TDATA (120 nm) / NPB (10 nm) / An organic light-emitting diode with the structure TCTA+PIQIr(acac) (99:1) (20nm) / Bphen (5nm) / BCP:Liq(5:5, 20nm) / compound 1(1nm) / Ag:Mg (95:5) (10nm) / β-NPB (70nm) was fabricated.
