Enhanced coupling of light from organic light emitting diodes using nanoporous films
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have demonstrated an approach to enhance the light extraction efficiency for organic light emitting diode sOLEDd. Nanoporous alumina film was used to modify the optical wave propagation and coupling of light from the OLED. Experimental results showed an increase of over 50% in the coupling efficiency of the nanoporous device, without affecting the electrical properties of the OLED. Effective medium theory can be used to model the optical properties of the nanoporous media and simulated the optical characteristics of the OLED successfully. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Thin-film Encapsulation of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes Using Single and Multilayer Structures of MgF2, YF3 and ZnS
In this research, the lifetime of green organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) is studied using four passivation layers. To encapsulate the OLEDs, MgF2, YF3, composed of alternating MgF2/ZnS and YF3/ZnS layers were grown by thermal vacuum deposition. Measurements show that the device lifetime is significantly improved by using YF3 and ZnS as passivation layers. However, diodes encapsulated by Mg...

متن کاملTexturing the cathode of white organic light-emitting diodes with a lattice of nanoscale scatterers for enhanced light out-coupling
The external quantum efficiency of white organic light-emitting diodes is often limited by light out-coupling losses due to surface plasmons. We demonstrate how texturing of the metal-cathode surface using a two-dimensionally periodic lattice of nanoscale scatterers with limited disorder can be used to reduce plasmonic losses while simultaneously enhancing both the light out-coupling and the sp...

The emission intensity of an organic light-emitting diode at normal viewing angle and the total external emission efficiency have been increased by factors of 9.6 and 3.0, respectively, by applying spherically shaped patterns to the back of the device substrate. The technique captures light previously lost to waveguiding in the substrate and, with proper choice of substrate, light previously lo...
