Abstract

Electron injection layer is a promising technique to lower driving voltage and increase efficiency in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). Understanding energy level alignment and interfacial chemistry between an organic layer and metal cathode is also a crucial issue. In this chapter, we review various electron injection materials used in OLEDs including low-work-function metal alloys, alkali metals, alkali earth metals, alkali metal halides, alkali metal salts, alkali metal phenolate complexes, and organic n-dopants.
