The direct current (dc) magnetron sputtering system was employed for the film deposition. The IZO alloy target (99.99% and 95% in purity and density, respectively) is composed of 90 wt.% of ln2O3 and 10 wt.% of ZnO. The electrical, optical, and structural properties of these prepared films by different dc powers, such as 50 W, 80 W and 100 W, without/with the ion-assisted deposition (IAD) technique. An optimum IZO deposition condition is developed for flexible organic light-emitting device (OLED) applications. The IZO films grown at low temperature (~ 50degC) by the dc magnetron sputtering (100-W power) with the IAD technique were used to study the electroluminescence (EL) performance of OLEDs. Under a current density of 200 (mA/cm2), the developed OLED/IZO/HPC substrate shows an excellent efficiency (5 V turn-on voltage) and a luminance of 1800 (cd/m2) in average, which is better than that measured with commercial indium-tin oxide (ITO) anodes and well above the electro-optical application standard.","PeriodicalId":244615,"journal":{"name":"ACOFT/AOS 2006 - Australian Conference on Optical Fibre Technology/Australian Optical Society","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122556083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
