摘要: This paper reports on the n-type ZnS used as electron transport layer for the organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The naphthyl-substituted benzidine derivative (NPB) and tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminium (Alq$_{3})$ are used as the hole transport layer and the emitting layer respectively. The insertion of the n-type ZnS layer enhances the electron injection in the OLEDs. The study was carried out on OLEDs of structures: indium--tin-oxide (ITO)/NPB/Alq$_{3}$/ZnS/LiF/AL, ITO/NPB/Alq$_{3}$/LiF/AL and ITO/NPB/Alq$_{3}$/AL. The luminance and efficiency of the device containing this electron transport layer are increased significantly over those obtained from conventional devices due to better carrier balance.
