We study nano-scale ITO top transmission gratings to improve light extraction efficiency using finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. Our study deals with a LED model with triangular-gratings and square-gratings. We achieve a 165.67% improvement for triangular ITO grating. Our study for square-gratings shows that it also can improve the total light extraction efficiency. Thus far, we have only achieved a 7.16% improvement with an ITO layer thickness of 230nm, a 230nm grating width and 10% duty cycle. We will present our comparison in further detail which will include various ITO layer thicknesses, grating widths and duty cycles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
