Abstract-In this paper, we present a finite element method (FEM) study on the space charge effects in organic light emitting diodes. The physical model covers all the key physical processes in OLEDs, namely charge injection, transport and recombination, exciton diffusion, transfer and decay as well as light coupling, and thin-film-optics. The exciton model includes generation, diffusion, and energy transfer as well as annihilation. We assumed that the light emission originates from oscillation which thus is embodied as exciton in a stack of multilayer. We discuss the accumulation of charges at internal interfaces and their signature in the transient response as well as the electric field distribution. We also report our investigation on the influence of the insertion of the emission layer (EML) in the bilayer structure.

In this paper, we report our theoretical study on the electrical and optical properties of organic light-emitting-diode (OLED) devices based on the green emitter tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum (Alq3). The electrical analysis of the bilayer structure has been carried out in order to identify and understand the behavior of carriers. After investigating the behavior of carriers, we devised a bottom mirror between the anode and the substrate to improve the luminance efficiency. Using the bottom mirror as the distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), we could attain an improvement of 17% in emission efficiency and sharper emission characteristics. Also, we found that the chromaticity of the device varies with the geometry of the bottom mirror.

In this paper, we present a finite element method (FEM) study of space charge effects in organic light emitting diodes. Our model includes a Gaussian density of states to account for the energetic disorder in organic semiconductors and the Fermi-Dirac statistics to account for the charge hopping process between uncorrelated sites. The physical model cover all the key physical processes in OLEDs, namely charge injection, transport and recombination, exciton diffusion, transfer and decay as well as light coupling, and thin-film-optics. The exciton model includes generation, diffusion, and energy transfer as well as annihilation. We assumed that the light emission originates from oscillating and thus embodied as excitons and embedded in a stack of multilayer. The out-coupled emission spectrum has been numerically calculated as a function of viewing angle, polarization, and dipole orientation. We discuss the accumulation of charges at internal interfaces and their signature in the transient response as well as the electric field distribution.
