This work aims the development of a compact spinner to be used inside the glove-box chamber to deposition of polymeric thin films used in the build of OLED devices. Initially, ten fans extracted of microcomputers were tested with commercial multi-voltage power supply. Four fans were selected based on the standard deviation of speed. A variable power supply was also built in order to get a more detailed response in terms of electrical current and speed in function of applied voltage. The fan that showed less variation of speed with applied voltage was selected for deposition tests using polymeric photoresist solution on the ITO (indium tin oxide) coated glass. This polymer was deposited by spin-coating at different speeds: 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 rpm and dried for the thicknesses measurement revealing good uniformity. Finally, three OLED devices were assembled with 2000 and 3000 rpm and the layers were dried under the same conditions. In the structure of the devices were used the materials deposited layer-by-layer: glass/ITO/PEDOT: PSS/Polyfluorene (PFpf)/Al. The OLED devices revealed blue light electroluminescence. The I-V curves showed better performance for OLED devices mounted at 2000 rpm with higher current density and similar appearance to the diode curve.
SbstractLow cost UV-Ozone reactor using a high pressure mercury vapor lamp of 80 watts without outer bulb showed good results for treatment of ITO films used as anode electrode in the assembly of P-OLED (polymer-organic light emitting diode) devices. This study revealed 20 minutes as effective treatment time and it was verified also that the effect of UV-Ozone treatment loses its efficiency as the elapsed time increases. It was analyzed with measurements of contact angle using a droplet of PEDOT:PSS polymer. P-OLEDs devices were mounted with architecture: ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/Alq 3 /Al. The PVK polymer was diluted in organic solvent of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene with concentrations of: 5, 10, 20 and 30 mg/mL. Results revealed better performance of P-OLED devices for concentration of 5 mg/mL resulting in lower threshold voltage, elevation of electrical current and similar diode curve.
