Enhancement of efficiency and luminance of organic light-emitting diodes was investigated by the introductionof a lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) electron-injection layer. Electron-injection layer is used in organic light-emittingdiodes to inject electrons efficiently between a cathode and an organic layer. A device structure of ITO/TPD (40 nm)/Alq3 (60 nm)/Li2CO3 (x nm)/Al (100 nm) was manufactured by thermal evaporation, where the thickness of Li2CO3layer was varied from 0 to 3.3 nm. Current density-luminance-voltage characteristics of the device were measuredand analyzed. When the thickness of Li2CO3 layer is 0.7 nm, the current efficiency and luminance of the device at 8.0V are improved by a factor of about 18 and 3,000 compared to the ones without the Li2CO3 layer, respectively. Theenhancement of efficiency and luminance of the device with an insertion of Li2CO3 electron-injection layer is thoughtto be due to the lowering of an electron barrier height at the interface region between the cathode and the emissivelayer. This is judged from an analysis of current density-voltage characteristics with a Fowler-Nordheim tunnelingconduction mechanism model. In a study of lifetime of the device that depends on the thickness of Li2CO3 layer, theoptimum thickness of Li2CO3 layer was obtained to be 1.1 nm. It is thought that an improvement in the lifetime is dueto the prevention of moisture and oxygen by Li2CO3 layer. Thus, from the efficiency and lifetime of the device, we haveobtained the optimum thickness of Li2CO3 layer to be about 1.0 nm
