We report the influence of organic materials on the thermal stability and e
mission efficiency of organic light-emitting diode (OLED). To improve the d
evice performance several hole transporting materials and emitting material
s were developed based on triphenylamine and metal-chelate complex, respect
ively. The electroluminescent characteristics of the OLEDs are shown and di
scussed in view of properties of the materials. Control of light emission i
n the OLED with microcavity is also presented to suggest a new application.
