Abstract We chose pentacene as a hole injection layer (HIL) to fabricate the high performance blue fluorescent organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). We found that the carrier mobility of the pentacene thin films could be efficiently improved after a critical annealing at temperature 120 °C. Then we performed the tests of scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and Kelvin probe to explore the effect of annealing on the pentacene films. The pentacene film exhibited a more crystalline form with better continuities and smoothness after annealing. The optimal device with 120 ℃ annealed pentacene film and n-doped electron transport layer (ETL) presents a low turn-on voltage of 2.6 V and a highest luminance of 134800 cd/m2 at 12 V, which are reduced by 26% and improved by 50% compared with those of the control device.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
