A Study on Thermal Degradation of Organic LEDs Using IR Imaging

Abstract: In this paper, we present a correlation study between the working temperature of OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) and the electroluminescence and driving voltage changes. The aim is to investigate the relationship between the operating temperature and the aging mechanisms. We have found that performances degradation of devices is strictly related to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of organic layers, and that electrical failure is reached only for temperatures higher than Tg.

“…As stated before, the temperature rise may occur from outside the device or due to the Joule heating, across the entire area, 15,42,328 or even at localized defects. 132,136,218 Most experiments that have been performed to investigate this subject are based on morphology-change measurements on single layer films and not on fully processed devices. The larger part of these experiments focuses on the crystallization behavior of the materials due to temperature rise.…”

“…In addition, the neighbor's signal decays to half its edge value over 50μm, or nearly 30% of the pixel length. Figure 3 strongly suggests that pixel operation affects the lifetime of the nearest neighbor pixels even when they are unbiased, because elevated temperature accelerates degradation in OLEDs [1], [2].…”

“…High temperatures accelerate degradation in OLEDs [1], [2], can cause thermal runaway [3], and can also lead to surface instabilities in the organic layers [4]. The problem of thermal management is exacerbated in devices with flexible or transparent substrates, which have poor thermal conductivity, as well as in high-power devices or large-area displays [5], [6].…”
