“…It is reported that V 2 O 5 has high performance of hole injection to N,N 0 -diphenyl-N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl)1,1 0 -biphenyl-4,4 0 diamine (TPD) and 4,4 0 -bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-Nphenyl-amino]biphenyl (NPD). 8,10) We considered that V 2 O 5 injects holes to HTL1 as well as TPD because the ionization potential of HTL1 is closer to the work function of V 2 O 5 than to that of TPD, as shown in Table I. The resistance of the HIL is not large, but omitting the HIL was expected to have some effect on decreasing the total resistance of the device.…”
