Out-coupling of light from organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) is a significant challenge for the application of OLEDs in solid state lighting. Most of the light is trapped in the stratified thin film structure and the glass substrate. In this study, an optical model is developed to simulate the optical electrical field for OLEDs with a stratified structure based on the dipole source term and transfer matrix approach. The exciton distribution is also considered in the proposed model. OLEDs with weak microcavity are selected to evaluate the model. Calculation of the electroluminescence spectrum, device efficiency as well as the angular dependence is shown to have a good agreement with the experimental data. Moreover, by using the weak microcavity design, an OLED of more than 70% improved efficiency is achieved.
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.
