Ag fiber/IZO Composite Electrodes: Improved Chemical and Thermal Stability and Uniform Light Emission in Flexible Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Electrospun metal fiber is a promising flexible transparent electrode owing to its extremely long length and facile fabrication process. However, metal-fiber electrodes have problems with chemical and thermal stability and nonuniform emission in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) at low luminance. In this study, we proposed a Ag fiber/IZO composite electrode with high stability. Ag fiber/IZO composite electrodes exhibited chemical and thermal stability. In addition, it was demonstrated that the OLED with the Ag fiber/IZO composite electrode operated stably, and the uniform emission of the OLED with metal-fiber electrodes improved by using highly conductive IZO film.
