Electroluminescence Enhancement of Polymer Light Emitting Diodes Through Surface Plasmons by Ag Nanoplates

Abstract

This paper reports a study on the surface plasmon effect of Ag nanoplates on electroluminescent property of polymer light emitting diodes. The diode is a single layer light emitting device made of poly [9,9-di-(2-ethylhexyl)-fluorenyl-2,7-diyl] (PEHF). 5 wt.% of Ag nanoplates were incorporated into the PEHF layer. The results showed that the electroluminescence intensity of the diodes is increased by 51.85%, compared with the device without the Ag nanoplates. The enhancement is due to the coupling process between the Ag surface plasmon with the emission light from the PEHF. The occurrence of the coupling process was proved firstly based on the fact that the exciton lifetime of the PEHF:Ag layer is shorter than that without Ag, as measured by time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. Secondly, the PEHF photoluminescence peak at 425 nm is overlaping with the surface plasmon absorption peak of Ag nanoplates.

Structural, optical and electrical properties of ribbon-like graphene oxide thin films

“…Device with structured of ITO/PEHF/GOR/Al and control device of ITO/PEHF/Al were fabricated to test to test the GO thin films potential application. The detailed of the fabrication process is described in our previous work [23]. Figure 9 showed the current voltage curve (JV) and electroluminescent (EL) spectrum for devices with the variation of GOR films and control device.…”

On the performance of polymer-inorganic perovskite oxide composite light-emitting diodes: The effect of perovskite SrTiO3 additives

“…In recent years, the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) has been gaining great attention as researchers are searching for a novel approach to improve OLED performance in display systems and lighting sources. Although OLED performance has been stabilized and commercially developed, 1,2 the on-going research to discover new methods to enhance the OLED performance is still intense. OLED device performance is effectively determined by the organic emitting materials, such as photoluminescence (PL) polymers and small molecules.…”
