Microcavity effects and the outcoupling of light in displays and lighting applications based on thin emitting films
نویسنده
چکیده
The outcoupling of light from thin films with a high refractive index is a problem occurring in lighting and display applications based on different technologies. Three different solutions are suggested: one-dimensional microcavity structures, roughness in the emitting layer, and roughness in the substrate/air interface. The advantages and drawbacks of these principles have to be evaluated for different applications. # 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 78.20. e; 78.60.Fi; 42.70.Jk

Exceptionally efficient organic light emitting devices using high refractive index substrates.
Organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) are now used in commercial cell phones and flat screen displays, but may become even more successful in lighting applications, in which large area, high efficiency, long lifetime and low cost are essential. Due to the relatively high refractive index of the organic layers, conventional planar bottom emitting OLEDs have a low outcoupling efficiency. Various...

Thin films of J-aggregate cyanine dyes deposited by layer-bylayer (LBL) assembly exhibit exciton-polariton dynamics when incorporated in an optical microcavity. Such LBL, J-aggregate thin films can be precisely deposited in a specific location in an optical microcavity, enabling the development of previously unachievable optoelectronic devices, as for example, the recently demonstrated resonant...

متن کاملEnhanced Outcoupling in Organic Light-Emitting Diodes via a High- Index Contrast Scattering Layer
Despite high internal quantum efficiencies, planar organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) typically suffer from limited outcoupling efficiencies. To improve this outcoupling efficiency, we have developed a new thin (∼2 μm) light scattering layer that employs air voids (low-index scattering centers) embedded in a high-index polyimide matrix to effectively frustrate the substrate-trapped light, in...
