Enhanced and balanced efficiency of white bi-directional organic light-emitting diodes.

ABSTRACT

We report on the characteristics of enhanced and balanced white-light emission from bi-directional organic light-emitting diodes (BiOLEDs) enabled by the introduction of micro-cavity effects. The insertion of an additional metal layer between the indium tin oxide anode and the hole transporting layer results in similar light output of our BiOLEDs in both top and bottom direction and in reduced distortion of the electroluminescence spectrum. Furthermore, we find that by utilizing MC effects, the overall current efficiency can be improved by 26.2% compared to that of a conventional device.
