Effects of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on the electroluminescent performance of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been investigated by mixing them in a hole-conducting layer and in a light-emitting layer in OLEDs. We found that SWNTs play different roles when used as polymer:SWNT composites in OLEDs. When used in a hole-conducting layer, SWNTs facilitate the charge transport in the transport layer and on the other hand they also act as the exciton quenching centers at the transporting/emitting interface provided their concentration is high enough. When used in a light-emitting layer, SWNTs act as an n-type dopant to increase electron transport in p-type electroluminescent film and subsequently improve the balancing degree of bipolar injection, leading to an enhancement in the electroluminescence efficiency.
