Review on Electroluminescence Behaviour of Organic Light Emitting Diode

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper report a review on electroluminescent efficiency using a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) complex as an electron blocking layer (EBL) material in emitting organic light emitting diode (OLED). The resulting called BioLED showed a high luminous efficiency. The DNA-based BioLED was as much more efficient and brighter than their OLED counterparts. It is found the effect of EBL is to increase the device turn-on voltage for OLED structure. This is attributed to the fact that the DNA complex increases the series resistance of the device which is turn reduces the current through the device.
