Parameter Optimization of Light Outcoupling Structures for High-Efficiency Organic Light-Emitting Diodes
Abstract
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have successfully entered the display market and continue to be attractive for many other applications. As state-of-the-art OLEDs can reach an internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of almost 100 %, light outcoupling remains one of the major screws left to be turned. The fact that no superior outcoupling structure has been found underlines that further investigations are needed to understand their prospect. In this paper, we use two-dimensional titanium dioxide (2D TiO) block arrays as a model of an internal light outcoupling structure and investigate the influence of its geometrical parameters on achieving the highest external quantum efficiency (EQE) for OLEDs. The multivariable problem is evaluated with the visual assistance of scatter plots, which enables us to propose an optimal period range and block width-to-distance ratio. The highest EQE achieved is 45.2 % with internal and external structures. This work contributes to the highly desired prediction of ideal light outcoupling structures in the future.
