Determination of Traps' Density of State in OLEDs from Current–Voltage Analysis

A simple method to determine the traps density of state (DOS) in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) by manipulating the current-voltage (I-V ) characteristic of the devices at room temperature is introduced. In particular, the trap-dependent space-charge limited current formula is simplified to o...
