We report the enhancement of the electroluminescence (EL) efficiency and the device stability of organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) by inserting a copper hexadecafluorophthalocyanine (F 16 CuPC)‐doped N,N′‐di(1‐naphthyl)‐N,N′‐diphenylbenzidine (α‐NPD) layer between an indium‐tin oxide and α‐NPD. Compared with the reference device consisting of the bilayer structure of α‐NPD and tris(8‐hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq 3 ), the devices having F 16 CuPC‐doped α‐NPD show not only an increased EL efficiency (∼4.5 cd/A compared with ∼3.8 cd/A for the reference device) and lower driving voltage but also a longer lifetime and smaller operating voltage variation over time. It is suggested that the improved device performance can be attributed to the higher hole‐injection efficiency and thermal stability of the F 16 CuPC‐doped α‐NPD layer.
