报告摘要：

OLED is a heterostructure device consisting of several organic layers, an ITO electrode and a metallic electrode. Because of the difference in the indices of refraction and the presence of the metallic electrode, the optical modes are very different from an inorganic LED. As a result, only a small fraction of generated light can escape an organic light emitting diode (OLED), and most of radiation is lost to bound photonic modes such as surface plasmon polariton (SPP) and thin film waveguided modes. The photonic mode densities of any optical stack are heavily dependent on the refractive indices of the constituent layers. In the case of organic light emitting diodes, reducing the refractive index of the constituent layers, such as: electron transport layer (ETL), hole transport layer (HTL) and the transparent anode, can lead to higher light extraction efficiencies and less radiation loss. The refractive index of the electron transport layer (ETL) has the largest impact on light extraction, comparing to all other layers, since it is immediate to the metallic cathode. Refractive index of thin films deposited using physical vapor deposition (PVD) can be manipulated by void inclusion using oblique angle deposition (OAD). In this work, by using oblique angle deposition, we tuned the refractive index of Tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3), which is a common electron transporting organic material, from 1.75 to 1.45. We show a 30% increase in external quantum efficiency of a phosphorescent device using the low refractive index Alq3 layer.
