Above the voltage for light emission, there was a sharp increase in current. Removing the oxygen led to recovery of the light intensity over a period of minutes, but the current returned immediately to its lower, original level. The electroluminescence and photoluminescence spectra were identical and were unaltered in shape by oxygen exposure (only decreasing in size). However, photoluminescence was unaffected by oxygen alone. This result indicates that oxygen does not affect excitons directly, but rather influences an intermediate species on the path to exciton formation, one that is significant only in electroluminescence and not in photoluminescence.

Different dopants resulted in different current anomalies with asymmetric current-voltage characteristics.

Depending on the metal electrode used, two different regimes of current passing have been found at low applied voltages, namely, a nearly ohmic regime for the indium electrode, and a diode regime for the aluminum electrode. The diode regime was found to accompany by a positive charge accumulation in the film near the film/metal interface, which creates a built-in potential in the film.
