ABSTRACT
Low-cost fabric-based top-emitting polymer light-emitting devices (Fa-TPLEDs) have aroused increasing attention due to their remarkable potential applications in wearable displays. However, it is still challenging to realize efficient all-solution-processed devices from bottom electrodes to top electrodes with large-scale fabrication. Here, a smooth reflective Ag cathode integrated on fabric by one-step silver mirror reaction and a composite transparent anode of polydimethylsiloxane/silver nanowires/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)poly(styrenesulfonate) via a water-assisted peeling method are presented, both of which possess excellent optoelectrical properties and robust mechanical flexibility. The Fa-TPLEDs are constructed by spin-coating functional layers on the bottom reflective cathodes and laminating the top transparent anodes. The Fa-TPLEDs show a current efficiency of 16.3 cd A-1 , an external quantum efficiency of 4.9% and angle-independent electroluminescence spectra. In addition, the Fa-TPLEDs possess excellent mechanical stability, maintaining a current efficiency of 14.3 cd A-1 after 200 bending cycles at a radius of 4 mm. The results demonstrate that the integration of solution-processed reflective cathodes and transparent anodes sheds light on a new avenue to construct low-cost and efficient fabric-based devices, showing great potential applications in emerging smart flexible/wearable electronics.
