Efficient waveguide mode extraction in white organic light emitting diodes using ITO-anodes with integrated MgF₂-columns.

چکیده
We report a simple approach to enhance the out-coupling efficiency in white organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs). By incorporating MgF₂-columns into the ITO-anode and optimizing of their geometry, an overall efficiency enhancement of up to 38% is achieved. In addition, the structuring of the anode does not lead to a change in the electrical behaviour of the devices. As evidenced by goniometric measurements, the angular emission characteristics of the WOLEDs remain unchanged. Simulations, performed with the T-matrix method, reveal the effect of the enhanced outcoupling efficiency of this approach.

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...
