The perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have attracted considerable research interests in recent years due to their decent and tunable optoelectronic characteristics. Here, we unveil the properties of the emission source (e.g. location, polarization, etc.) and the influences of the incorporated nanopatterns on the light emission of PeLEDs by using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The results indicated that the PeLEDs with nanopatterns not only show substantial improvement of light extraction intensity but also reveal a remarkable directivity. Moreover, the emission angle of the directional PeLEDs can be continuously engineered over 65 o by judicious selection of the nanopatterns. This work is of great importance for engineering highly directional and efficient luminescence devices.
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.
