Unique reference on the fundamentals, applications, and latest research in electroluminescence of organic molecules

Organic Electroluminescence provides a comprehensive overview of organic electroluminescent materials from their structure-property relationships to the outlook of improved device performance. Divided into three parts, the first section of the book covers fundamental aspects of OLEDs such as history, structures, properties, and operating and aging mechanisms. The second section provides quantum chemical and experimental insights into correlations between device performance, material characteristics, molecular physical parameters, and molecular structure. The last section is devoted to improving device performance in real world applications using molecular and device simulations.

Featuring contributions from experts from around the world, Organic Electroluminescence discusses sample topics including:

• Fundamental concepts in the fields of display, organic electronics, molecular photochemistry, and quantum chemistry
• Device fabrication, characterization and simulation techniques
• Physical and chemical processes in OLEDs including charge injection and transport, exciton generation and decay, reversible dipole reorientation, and chemical reactions
• Physical and chemical properties of organic semiconductors in solutions and thin-films including photoluminescence quantum yield, excited-state lifetime, and redox potential
• Single-molecule and condensed-matter simulations including vertical transition, nonradiative decay, spin-orbital and spin-phonon coupling, bond dissociation and charge transfer

Organic Electroluminescence delivers advanced information for professionals seeking a thorough reference on the subject and for students learning about OLEDs.

Qisheng Zhang is a Professor in the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China. He pursued his PhD at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, China during 2001-2005, and began his research on high efficiency and low cost organic electroluminescent materials since then.

Le Zhang graduated from the department of physical electronics of Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan with a PhD degree in 2013. Since then, his main research interests are organic semiconducting materials, device physics, charge/exciton dynamics, and advanced characterization methods. He is now the CTO of Zhejiang Hongwu Technology.
