Metal diffusion from electrodes in organic light-emitting diodes

Abstract: Metal diffusion from magnesium–silver cathodes and indium–tin–oxide anodes in organic light-emitting diodes has been investigated. Magnesium showed no substantial diffusion under device operation and had no significant effects on luminance decay with operation time. Indium was immobile in storage at room temperature, while indium penetration into organic layers was observed after device operation. The presence of indium in organic films showed a correlation with performance degradation.

“…ITO-TCE is rather expensive 13,14 due to both the material cost and its low throughput deposition process. In addition, the indium in ITO is known to diffuse into the active layers of OLEDs, leading to performance degradation over time 15 . Therefore, there is a strong need for flexible, low-cost and chemically stable transparent electrodes for the next-generation OLED-based display and lighting.…”

“…Penggunaan ITO dan FTO pada TCF memiliki beberapa kelemahan diantaranya : (i) harga Indium yang mahal karena keseterdiaannya yang terbatas [1], (ii) tidak dapat digunakan untuk substrat yang fleksibel karena bersifat brittle [2], (iii) material indium mudah terdifusi ke material aktif sehingga mengalami penurunan performa [3], (iv) kurang tranparant terhadap spektrum dekat cahaya inframerah, dan (v) kebocoran arus pada perangkat FTO disebabkan oleh cacat struktur FTO [4]. Selain itu, mahalnya harga TCF juga disebabkan karena proses pembuatan TCF yang ada pada saat ini memiliki tingkat kerumitan yang sangat tinggi sehingga menambah tingginya harga TCF tersebut.…”

“…On the other hand, the lifetime degradation of the OLED component has been investigated by few past works [7]- [11], where the degradation was attributed to intrinsic and extrinsic causes. The extrinsic causes are, for example, particle contamination and inevitable humidification [7] in the fabrication process.…”

“…The extrinsic causes are, for example, particle contamination and inevitable humidification [7] in the fabrication process. As for the intrinsics, they are due to accumulative holes [8], the impurity of movable ions [9], [10], and the Indium diffusion [11] induced by high-density large currents under long-time driving. To tackle the OLED degradation due to long-time current drives, some compensation methods were developed in a few past works [12].…”
