In this paper, we present finite element method simulations of top-emitting organic light-emitting diodes for designing optimized red, green, and blue full-color device structures. The OLED structures in the simulation are used to evaluate the device parameters, such as the outcoupling efficiency, electroluminescence spectra, and angular emission characteristics on organic layers with varying thickness and different cathodes. The numerical study also extracts these parameters for nano-structured devices. By observing the agreement between the simulated and measured data precisely, our simulations show capability of predicting the fabricated device results.

Capping layers (CPLs) are commonly employed in top-emitting organic light-emitting diodes (TEOLEDs) due to their ability to optimize color purity, enhance external light out-coupling efficiency, and improve device stability. However, the mismatch in refractive index between CPLs and thin film encapsulation (TFE) often induces light trapping. This study introduces a novel approach by combining a low refractive index material, lithium fluoride (LiF), with the traditional TFE material, silicon nitride (SiN), to form a combined CPL (LiF/SiN), resulting in improved light outcoupling and light reflection properties.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been developed for high-speed transmitters of visible-light communication (VLC) but so far the possibility of direct fabrication of multiple colors on a single substrate has not been exploited for multi-Gbps data transmission. Very fast red-, green-, and blue (RGB)-emitting OLEDs are developed on a single substrate to realize high data transmission speed by wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). -6 dB electrical bandwidth of over 100 MHz is achieved for all colors by selecting fluorescent materials with nanosecond emission lifetimes and little overlap between their emission spectra and incorporating them into OLEDs designed for high-speed operation.

The realization of highly operationally stable blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is a challenge in both academia and industry. This paper describes the development of anthracene-dibenzofuran host materials, 2-(10-(naphthalen-1-yl)anthracen-9-yl)naphtho[2,3-b]benzofuran (Host 1) and 2-(10-([1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl)anthracen-9-yl)naphtho[2,3-b]benzofuran (Host 2), namely for use in the emissive layer of an OLED stack. A multiple-resonance thermally activated delayed serves as the blue fluorescence emitter and exhibits an initial luminance of 1000 cd m and long operational stability (i.

Purely organic molecules with room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) are potential luminescent materials with high exciton utilization for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), but those exhibiting superb electroluminescence (EL) performances are rarely explored, mainly due to their long phosphorescence lifetimes. Herein, a robust purely organic RTP molecule, 3,6-bis(5-phenylindolo[3,2-a]carbazol-12(5H)-yl)-xanthen-9-one (3,2-PIC-XT), is developed. The neat film of 3,2-PIC-XT shows strong green RTP with a very short lifetime (2.

Recently, boron (B)/nitrogen (N)-embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), characterized by multiple resonances (MR), have attracted significant attention owing to their remarkable features of efficient narrowband emissions with small full width at half maxima (FWHMs). However, developing ultra-narrowband pure-green emitters that comply with the Broadcast Service Television 2020 (BT2020) standard remains challenging. Precise regulation of the MR distribution regions allows simultaneously achieving the emission maximum, FWHM value, and spectral shape that satisfy the BT2020 standard.
