1.54 μm electroluminescence from erbium (III) tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) (ErQ)-based organic light-emitting diodes

Abstract

A 1.54 μm room temperature electroluminescence from organic light emitting diodes (OLED) using ErQ as the emitting layer is demonstrated. The possibility of a route producing a silicon based organic light emitting diode operating at this wavelength is highlighted. Some preliminary measurements of electroluminescence intensity against drive current were also performed.
