Microlens Array Fabrication by 3D Diffuser Lithography for Light Enhancement of Organic Light-Emitting Devices

Article Preview

Abstract:

Microlens arrays have been fabricated by 3D diffuser lithography in this study. The method mainly adopts two kinds of diffuser films with different transmittances and hazes, integrated by photolithography, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) molding and UV forming techniques, to get microlens arrays with different parameters and geometries. The features, such as height, geometry and fill factor of microlens arrays, are controlled by photolithography, using a photomask with circular holes and different exposure doses. The microlens arrays can also be duplicated and transferred to the surface of flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate through PDMS molding and UV forming processes. Finally, the outcoupling efficiency of microlens arrays attached to organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) can be measured and analyzed. More than 60% enhancement of luminous current efficiency can be obtained in experimental results.
