Transparent organic light emitting diodes are developed by using a multilayer oxide as a composite cathode. The device structure is ITO/ MoO

(MAM). A thin Al layer (1 nm) was introduced as an interlayer between the Alq

electron transport layer and the MAM electrode. On the one hand
the thin Al layer improves the interface flatness between electrode and organic layers
while improving the conductivity of the electrode. On the other hand
electron injection was greatly improved by forming an Ohmic contact between the electron transport layer and a thin Al layer. Then the OLEDs optimum performance is obtained by changing the thickness of Al in MAM. With the Al thickness of 18 nm
the highest brightness 2 297cd/cm
2
is obtained.
