Abstract

Basic processes of the electroluminescence phenomenon in OLED structures are described. The conventional theoretical models for injection, transport and recombination of charge carriers and their relationship with the obtained experimental data are discussed. The mobility of charge carriers is a key characteristic of the electron and hole transport. Methods for measuring mobility that adequately reflect the transport of charge carriers in OLEDs are considered.
