Highly Directional Emission and Beam Steering from Organic LightEmitting Diodes with a Substrate Diffractive Optical Element

In planar OLED structures, a signifi cant fraction of the internal light emission is trapped in guided modes. This trapped light is a major limitation on the external quantum effi ciency, and a number of studies have integrated photonic microstructures into OLEDs to improve the device effi ciency by extracting trapped light such as the substrate modes, [ 3 ] the waveguide modes [ 4 ] and the su...

Optical Simulation of Top-emitting Organic Light Emitting Diodes

An optical model based on classical electrodyanmics has beeb exploited to simulate the optical effects for the top-emitting organic light emitting diodes. The optical performance of the devices can be obtained through calculation of the power density in each planar thin film. The far field emission profile and spectrum are derived base on this model. Predicated optical performance is compared w...

Emission Characteristics of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes and Organic Thin-Films with Planar and Corrugated Structures

In this paper, we review the emission characteristics from organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic molecular thin films with planar and corrugated structures. In a planar thin film structure, light emission from OLEDs was strongly influenced by the interference effect. With suitable design of microcavity structure and layer thicknesses adjustment, optical characteristics can be engine...

Application of Highly Ordered Carbon Nanotubes Templates to Field-Emission Organic Light Emitting Diodes

An anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template was formed by a two-step anodization process. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were successfully synthesized along with AAO pores and the diameters of CNTs equaled those of AAO pores. The lengths of CNTs during a chemical vapor deposition synthesized process on the AAO template were effectively controlled. These AAO-CNTs exhibit excellent field emission with a low...
