A green top-emitting organic light-emitting device with improved luminance and efficiency

A top-emitting organic light-emitting device (TOLED) with an architecture of Si/SiO2/Ag/Ag2O/4, 4', 4''-tris(3-methylphenylphenylamino) triphenylamine/4, 4'-bis[N-(1-naphthyl-1-)-N-phenyl-amino]-biphenyl/ tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminium (Alq3)/LiF/Al/semitransparent Ag is designed with the resonance wavelength in the TOLED corresponding to the emission peak of Alq3. With this optimized cavity structure, light magnification with a coefficient of ~16 (in the forward direction) is observed, leading to significantly improved performances such as a brightness of 100529 cd m−2 (12.5 V), a large luminous efficiency of 10.4 cd A−1 (7 V) and an external quantum efficiency of 2.94% (5 V).
