The mobilities of charge carriers in Organic Light-Emitting Devices (OLEDs) are among the most important material parameters since they not only define the location of the recombination zone but also heavily influence various performance aspects including efficiency and lifetime.

Here we report on two methods for determining hole and electron mobilities in various polymeric OLED materials: transient dark injection current (DI) and transient electroluminescence (EL). Utilising these techniques we have obtained mobility data for a range of polymers which, when combined with steady-state current-voltage and luminance characteristics, provide detailed insight into electronic processes in current light-emitting materials. Furthermore, a closer look at these data allows us to draw conclusions regarding carrier trapping and to identify a correlation between trap distributions and mobilities.

Finally, we explore ways to systematically modify the mobilities of one or both charge carriers in order to improve OLED performances.
