Abstract

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have attracted a lot of attention as a next generation display. In this study, we fabricated the micro-OLEDs by room-temperature curing nanoimprint lithography (RTC-NIL) using diamond molds. The diamond has superior durability and was used as mold material for RTC-NIL. The diamond molds have been fabricated by electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) oxygen ion shower with polysiloxane oxide mask in the electron beam (EB) lithography technology. We fabricated the diamond mold pattern with 10 μm-square dot. The diamond molds have been used to form an insulating layer in micro-OLEDs. The optimum thickness of N,N’-Diphenyl-N,N’-di(m-tolyl)benzidine (TPD) [hole transport layer],Tris(8-quinolinolato)aluminum (Alq3) [electron transport layer] and aluminum (Al) [cathode] were 40 nm, 40 nm and 200 nm, respectively. We succeeded in formation of insulating layer in micro-OLEDs and operation of micro-OLEDs with 10 μm-square-dot by RTC-NIL using diamond molds.
