The p-type layer is doped with 2�wt% of 1,1-bis-(4-bis(4-tolyl)-aminophenyl) cyclohexene (TAPC). The energy difference (?E) at the hetero-junction, magnitude of band bending (Vb) and the vacuum level shift at the interface is modified when PVK is doped with 2�wt% TAPC. The presence of Vb at the HAT(CN)6/PVK (PVK:TAPC) interface makes it easier to reach a ?E ? 0 energy offset in order to facilitate charge generation at the interface. Via a Fowler-Nordheim (FN) tunneling curve, it is found that the electron extraction from PVK to HAT(CN)6�at the interface could occur via the tunneling process. This finding provides new insights into novel solutions for high efficiency tandem OLEDs. � 2017 Elsevier B.V.
