Surface modification of indium tin oxide anode with self-assembled monolayer modified Ag film for improved OLED device characteristics

Modification of electrodes has attracted much attention in the study of organic semiconductor devices. A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 4-fluorothiophenol is employed to modify the Ag film on the surface of indium tin oxide (ITO) to improve the hole injection and the surface morphology. The modified anode was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscope (AFM), and UV–vis transmittance spectra. To investigate the effect of the modification on the device characteristics, typical double layer devices with the structure of anode/-naphthylphenylbiphenyl diamine (NPB, 60 nm)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq₃, 60 nm)/LiF(0.7 nm)/Al(100 nm) were fabricated using the modified anode and the bare ITO. The effect of Ag layer thickness on the device performance is also investigated. The results revealed that SAM modified ultra-thin Ag film is an effective buffer layer for organic light emitting diode. The device using the ITO/Ag (5 nm)/SAM as anode show improved device characteristics than that of using bare ITO as anode. The enhancements in luminance and efficiency are attributed to enhanced hole injection and smooth surface between anode and the organic material. The Ag thickness of 5 nm is chosen as an acceptable compromise between substrate transparency and the device performance.     

Ca/Ag bilayer cathode for transparent white organic light-emitting devices

We have demonstrated that the compositional modification of the Ca/Ag films is principally responsible for a high transmittance (over 70% in the visible range) and low sheet resistance (10-12 Ω/sq). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) sputter depth profiling of Ca/Ag structure reveals the presence of Ca(OH)₂ and Ca metal. A chemical model of the Ca/Ag cathode is proposed. Using transparent ITO anode and Ca (10 nm)/Ag (10 nm) cathode, efficient white organic light-emitting devices (WOLEDs) emitting from both sides have been fabricated. Brightness of 3813 cd/m² and Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates (0.36, 0.34) at 10 V through ITO anode and values of 1216 cd/m² and (0.33, 0.30) through Ca/Ag cathode are reported. A low turn-on voltage of 5.5 V is measured.     

The effect of Ag layer thickness on the properties of WO3/Ag/MoO3 multilayer films as anode in organic light emitting diodes

Transparent conductive WO₃/Ag/MoO₃ (WAM) multilayer electrodes were fabricated by thermal evaporation and the effects of Ag layer thickness on the optoelectronic and structural properties of multilayer electrode as anode in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) were investigated using different analytical methods. For Ag layers with thickness varying between 5 and 20 nm, the best WAM performances, high optical transmittance (81.7%, at around 550 nm), and low electrical sheet resistance (9.75 Ω/cm²) were obtained for 15 nm thickness. Also, the WAM structure with 15 nm of Ag layer thickness has a very smooth surface with an RMS roughness of 0.37 nm, which is suitable for use as transparent conductive anode in OLEDs. The current density?voltage?luminance (J?V?L) characteristics measurement shows that the current density of WAM/PEDOT:PSS/TPD/Alq₃/LiF/Al organic diode increases with the increase in thickness of Ag and WO₃/Ag (15 nm)/MoO₃ device exhibits a higher luminance intensity at lower voltage than ITO/PEDOT:PSS/TPD/Alq₃/LiF/Al control device. Furthermore, this device shows the highest power efficiency (0.31 lm/W) and current efficiency (1.2 cd/A) at the current density of 20 mA/cm², which is improved 58% and 41% compared with those of the ITO-based device, respectively. The lifetime of the WO₃/Ag (15 nm)/MoO₃ device was measured to be 50 h at an initial luminance of 50 cd/m², which is five times longer than 10 h for ITO-based device.

Flexible white top-emitting organic light-emitting diode with a MoO_x roughness improvement layer

In this paper, an MoOx film is deposited on a polyethylene terephthalate （PET） substrate as a buffer layer to improve the surface roughness of the flexible PET substrate. With an optimized MoOx thickness of 100 nm, the surface roughness of the PET substrate can be reduced to a very small value of 0.273 nm （much less than 0.585 nm of the pure PET）. Flexible white top-emitting organic light-emitting diodes （TEOLEDs） with red and blue dual phosphorescent emitting layers are constructed based on a low-reflectivity Sm/Ag semi-transparent cathode. The flexible white emission exhibits the best luminance and current injection characteristics with the 100-nm-thick MoOx buffer layer and this result indicates that a smooth substrate is beneficial to the enhancement of device electrical and electroluminescence performances. However, the white TEOLED with a 50-nm-thick MoOx buffer layer exhibits a maximum current efficiency of 4.64 cd/A and a power efficiency of 1.9 lm/W, slightly higher than those with a 100-nm MoOx buffer layer, which is mainly due to an obvious intensity enhancement but limited current increases in 50-nm MoOx-based white TEOLED. The change amplitudes of the Commission International de l’Eclairage （CIE） chromaticity coordinates are less than （0.016, 0.005） for all devices in a wide luminance range over 100 cd/m2, indicating an excellent color stability in our white flexible TEOLEDs. Additionally, the flexible white TEOLED with an MoOx buffer layer shows excellent flexibility to withstand more than 500 bending times under a curvature radius of approximately 9 mm. Research demonstrates that it is mainly attributed to the high surface energy of the MoOx buffer layer, which is conducible to the improvement of the surface adhesion to the PET substrate and the Ag anode.
