Theoretical and Experimental Studies on Microcavity Organic Light-Emitting Diodes with Different Emitters

Article Preview

Abstract:

We have theoretically and experimentally investigated the microcavity organic light-emitting diodes (MOLEDs) that enhanced the emission intensity and narrowed the spectra simultaneously. In this work, MOLEDs with the reflectivities of 70% and 90% have been successfully fabricated. Comparing to non-cavity OLEDs, the maximum forward electroluminescence intensity and the peak luminescence can be improved by 6.8 times and 2.2 times, respectively. The full width at half maximum could be sharply narrowed to 10 nm. The different configurations of MOLEDs with varied emitting layers have also been evaluated which fitted well with the experimental results.
