Doping-Free Phosphorescent and Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes with an Ultra-Thin Emission Layer.

We report the electroluminescence (EL) characteristics of blue ultra-thin emissive layer (U-EML) phosphorescent (PH) organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) OLED. A variety of transport layer (TL) materials were used in the fabricated OLEDs. The well-known FIrpic and DMAC-DPS were used with a thickness of 0.

Enhancing Light Extraction Efficiency in OLED Using Scattering Structure-Embedded DMD-Based Transparent Composite Electrodes.

This study investigates the application of scattering structures to the metal layer in a DMD (Dielectric/Metal/Dielectric) configuration through plasma treatment. The purpose is to enhance the light extraction efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Different plasma conditions were explored to create scattering structures on the metal layer.

Fabrication of Flexible PDMS Films with Micro-Convex Structure for Light Extraction from Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

In this study, we demonstrated organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) outcoupling with a flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film with a micro-convex structure using the breath figure (BF) method. We can easily control the micro-convex pattern by adjusting the concentration of polystyrene and the humidity during the BF process. As process conditions to fabricate the micro-convex structure, polymer concentrations of 10, 20, 40, and 80 mg/mL and 60, 70, and 80% relative humidity were used.

A Simple Method for Fabricating an External Light Extraction Composite Layer with RNS to Improve the Optical Properties of OLEDs.

In this study, we fabricated a random nanostructure (RNS) external light extraction composite layer containing high-refractive-index nanoparticles through a simple and inexpensive solution process and a low-temperature mask-free process. We focused on varying the shape and density of the RNSs and adjusted the concentration of the high-refractive-index nanoparticles to control the optical properties. The RNSs fabricated using a low-temperature mask-free process can use the distance between the nanostructures and various forms to control the diffraction and scattering effects in the visible light wavelength range.

The Effects of the Rotational Speed of the Deposition Substrate on the Morphological and Current Injection Characteristics of LiF Thin Films.

In this study, we report the effects of the substrate rotational speed on the morphological characteristics of lithium fluoride (LiF) during thermal evaporation. LiF is used as a typical material in a vacuum-level shift-based electron injection layer and can improve both the charge injection and light emission properties when inserted into the electrode/organic material interface of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In general OLED research, rotary evaporation is widely used to ensure uniformity.

Organic Thin-Film Characteristics Modulated by Deposition Substrate Rotation Speed and the Effect on Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

In this paper, we report on the effects of the substrate thermal evaporation process rotation speed on the electroluminescence (EL) characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In general OLED research, rotational and angle tilted deposition are widely used to maintain uniformity. However, there have been few reports on the effects of this deposition method on film characteristics.

Reduced Efficiency Roll-Off in Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes with a Double Dopant.

The phenomenon by which the efficiency decreases rapidly with the increase in luminance or current density in organic light-emitting diodes is termed efficiency roll-off. In particular, phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes are known to have higher efficiency, but tend to exhibit higher efficiency roll-off compared with fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes. In this study, we report the efficiency roll-off characteristics of double-dopant phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes.
