Patterning polymer light-emitting diodes by micromolding in capillary
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we describe a method of patterning electroluminescent (EL) polymers using micromolding in capillary (MIMIC). MIMIC is the one of the lithographic methods based on the microfludics among the soft lithography using a patterned poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer. The patterned microstructures of poly(dioctylfluorene) (PDOF), poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV), and poly(2methoxy-5-2 0-ethylhexyloxy)-p-phenylenevinylene) (MEH-PPV) were fabricated by MIMIC for polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs). In addition, the solution viscosity effect on MIMIC process was studied. Finally, a PLED device was fabricated using the patterned EL polymer microstructure and a patterned emission image was obtained. 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

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...

Laser-induced cross-linking in polymeric semiconductors was utilized to achieve micro- and nano-structuring in thin films. Single- and two-photon cross-linking processes led to the reduction in both the refractive index and thickness of the polymer films. The resultant photonic structures combine the features of both relief- and phase-gratings. Selective cross-linking in polymer blend films bas...
