Influence of DCM dye doping on the magnetic field dependent electroluminescence in organic light emitting diodes

The DCM dye doped organic electroluminescence devices with structure of ITO/NPB/Alq 3 : DCM/Alq 3 /LiF/Al were fabricated. From 15 K to room temperature, the magnetic field dependent of electroluminescence (MEL) of devices was investigated. Our observations indicated that the MEL is composed of two effects in different regimes: a low field (0≤B≤40 mT) effect and a high field (B 40 mT) effect. For undoped devices, the low field effect exhibits a rapid rising with the increasing field, and the high field effect shows a slow increase and gradually saturates at room temperature. For doped devices, the low field rapid increase is also present, whereas the high field effect displays a decrease with the increasing field. The larger the injection current is, the more apparent the high field decrease is. In addition, the doped device demonstrates less temperature dependence of the high field effect than undoped device, although the undoped devices also present high field decrease of electroluminescence at low temperatures (T≤150 K). Based on the energy level trapping effect due to dye doping and magnetic field modulated triplet exciton annihilation, the experimental results are carefully explained.     

Alternating current organic light emitting diodes based on polymer heterojunction

Most alternating current (ac) polymer EL (electroluminescent) devices to date are based on symmetrical structure. Here novel alternating current EL devices with asymmetric structure are successfully fabricated by using a hole type polymer PDDOPV [poly (2,5-bis (dodecyloxy)-phenylenevinylene)] and an electron type polymer PPQ [poly (phenyl quinoxaline)]. We report that performance of polymer devices with heterojunction in ac operation is not so sensitive to thickness of the two polymer layers as in direct current (dc) operation. This new advantage of ac operation mode over dc means easy production and cheap facilities in large-scale production in the near future. Different emission spectra are obtained when our ac devices operate in ac mode, forward and reverse bias. Emission spectrum at reverse bias includes two parts: one is from PDDOPV, the other is from PPQ.     

Reduction of guided waves in ITO/glass interface of white organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs): Layer optimization

In this paper, our main purpose is to reduce Total Internal Reflection (TIR) phenomenon that is happening at Indium Tin Oxide (ITO, n_ito = 1.8 + 0.01i) and Glass (n_glass = 1.51) interface in WOLED to achieve higher output power. In normal WOLED because of higher refractive index contrast between ITO and Glass, guided waves usually limited into ITO layer and approximately 50% of generated light is trapped into ITO layer. Here, we tried to reduce this portion of trapped light by using 12-fold quasi-photonic crystal in mentioned interface. With some gentle changes in 12-folds structure, we could reduce TIR in this interface to less than 9%. Also, far field results before and after adding the structure were studied, which represents success of this idea and will open a new insight to lightning applications.     

Layer optimization in wight organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs) to reduce the portion of guided waves in ITO/Glass interface

In this paper, our main attempt was to reduce Total Internal Reflection (TIR) happening at Indium Tin Oxide (ITO, n_ito = 1.8 + 0.01i) and Glass (n_glass = 1.51) interface, which is due to ITO's higher index in comparison with Glass's, that makes light guided in ITO layer, 50% of generated light in Wight Organic Light Emitting Diodes (WOLED) are trapped in ITO layer; here we tried to reduce this portion of trapped light by implying 12-fold quasi-photonic crystal to the mentioned interface. With some gentle changes in 12-fold's structure we could reduce TIR in this interface to less than 9%. Also, far field results before and after adding the structure to WOLED were studied, which represents suitability of using this structure for lighting applications.

Light extraction efficiency enhancement in organic light emitting diodes based on optimized multilayer structures

The main focus of this study is to improve the light extraction efficiency, as well as directionality of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) using multi-layer structures between Indium tin Oxide (ITO) and glass layers in a typical OLED. In conventional OLEDs, only about half of the light generated in the emission zone can reach to the glass substrate due to refractive index mismatch in ITO (n = 1.8?i0.01)/glass (n = 1.51) interface. The main attempt is to reduce the share of total internal reflection (TIR) and hence, the effect of different structures such as Thue-Morse and Fibonacci have been investigated and optimized with suitable layer thickness and materials based on Transfer Matrix Method (TMM). The most effective Multi-layer structures have been added to conventional OLED and have been analyzed the extraction efficiency using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. Results show large enhancement of extraction efficiency (about 40%) in ITO/glass interface. Using this idea and applying micro-lenses array to glass substrate at the same time, one can get even higher extraction efficiency in OLED. The interesting aspect of this project is its easy fabrication process in order to commercialize the product with highest extraction efficiency and low fabrication cost.

Effect of ZnO film thickness on the performance of organic light emitting diodes

The electrical and optical properties of the ZnO layers and of the ITO/ZnO bilayers are investigated. We show that a ZnO layer of about 120 nm is the best compromise to obtain simultaneously a high transmittance and conductivity. Moreover an X-ray diffraction analysis underscores that an amorphous ITO deposited on a polycrystalline ZnO could change into a polycrystalline ITO. The modifications of the ITO layer by a preliminary deposition of a 120 nm thick ZnO underlayer enables us to decrease the threshold voltage of organic light emitting diodes.

Thin film hexagonal gold grids as transparent conducting electrodes in organic light emitting diodes

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coated glass is currently the preferred transparent conducting electrode (TCE) for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, ITO has its drawbacks, not least the scarcity of Indium, high processing temperatures, and inflexibility. A number of technologies have been put forward as replacements for ITO. In this paper, an OLED based on a gold grid TCE is demonstrated, the light emission through the grid is examined, and luminance and current measurements are reported. The gold grid has a sheet resistance of 15 Ω□⁻¹ and a light transmission of 63% at 550 nm, comparable to ITO, but with advantages in terms of processing conditions and cost. The gold grid OLED has a lower turn‐on voltage (7.7 V versus 9.8 V) and achieves a luminance of 100 cdm⁻² at a lower voltage (10.9 V versus 12.4 V) than the reference ITO OLED. We discuss the lower turn‐on voltage and the uniformity of the light output through the gold grid TCE and examine the conduction mechanisms in the ITO and gold grid TCE OLEDs.

利用银纳米立方增强效率的多层溶液加工白光有机发光二极管

金属纳米粒子的局域表面等离子体共振效应常被用于增强有机发光二极管中激子辐射强度,其增强效果与金属纳米粒子的共振波长、共振强度及其与激子之间的耦合密切相关.本文将具有较强局域表面等离子体共振效应的银纳米立方引入多层溶液加工白光有机发光二极管中提升器件性能.在传统的溶液加工有机发光二极管中,发光层主体一般具有较强的空穴传输性,因此激子主要在发光层/电子传输层界面附近复合.本文将银纳米立方掺入电子传输层中,使银纳米立方与激子之间产生充分的耦合作用,提高激子发光强度.对银纳米立方包裹二氧化硅外壳,一方面优化纳米立方与激子之间的距离,另一方面减小其对器件中电荷传输的影响.通过优化银纳米立方的浓度,多层溶液加工白光有机发光二极管的电流效率达到30.0 cd/A,是基础器件效率的2倍.另外,由于银纳米立方的等离子体共振光谱较宽,同时增强了白光中蓝光和黄光的强度,因此引入银纳米立方基本没有影响白光的色度.研究结果表明引入金属纳米粒子是提升多层溶液加工发光二极管性能的有效方法.     

Protective sol-gel coating on silicate phosphor used in light emitting diodes

In this study, an orange-red silicate phosphor that is used in light emitting diodes (LEDs) was coated with a SiO₂ blocking layer via a sol-gel reaction of tetra-ethyl ortho-silicate (TEOS) to investigate its reliability as an encapsulant. A sol-gel coating protects the phosphor surface from moisture and reactive materials and improves the reliability of the phosphor. The efficacy of the phosphor coating following an 85 °C and 85 relative humidity (Rh)% test decreased by 7%, whereas an uncoated phosphor coating decreased by 35%. A SiO₂ sol-gel coating decreases the luminous efficiency by a small amount with each coating.
