Background
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are widely considered to be the most potential display and lighting technologies of the next generation due to their unique advantages of low turn-on voltage, fast response speed, wide color gamut, self-luminescence, wide viewing angle, and being combined with flexible or wearable substrates.
Depending on the light-emitting material of the OLED device, it can be classified into a fluorescent OLED and a phosphorescent OLED. With the application of the phosphorescent material and the delayed fluorescence material, the exciton utilization rate of the phosphorescent OLED and the delayed fluorescence OLED can reach 100% theoretically, and the efficiency of the device is greatly improved.
However, most high efficiency devices face two common problems: firstly, the loss of a surface plasma mode, a substrate mode and a waveguide mode exists in a conventional planar multilayer device structure, so that only about 20% of photons generated in an OLED can escape out of the device, a large amount of photons are lost in the device (about 80%), and the light extraction efficiency is low; secondly, as the brightness increases, the external quantum efficiency of the device is severely reduced, namely the efficiency is reduced. The reasons for the roll-off in efficiency are mainly due to exciton quenching in the non-emissive mode, including singlet-singlet quenching (single-triplet quenching), singlet-triplet quenching (single-triplet quenching), triplet-triplet quenching (triplet-triplet quenching), and exciton-polaron quenching (exciton-polaron quenching). Exciton-polaron quenching in turn includes singlet-polaron quenching (single-polaron quenching) and triplet-polaron quenching (triplet-polaron quenching).
In order to improve the optical light-emitting efficiency of the OLED device, researchers integrate micro-nano structures such as nano gratings, micro lenses, random nano structures and nano particles into the OLED device to inhibit the optical loss of photons, and improve the light-emitting efficiency of the OLED. Meanwhile, in order to inhibit the efficiency roll-off of the OLED device, researchers also design a quantum well light-emitting layer structure, a mixed main body light-emitting layer structure, a gradient doped light-emitting layer structure and the like, so that the efficiency roll-off of the OLED device is effectively improved. However, the above approaches can only achieve the single purpose of suppressing the optical loss or the efficiency roll-off of the OLED device, and it is difficult to improve the optical light extraction efficiency of the device while suppressing the efficiency roll-off of the OLED device.
Therefore, in order to further promote the commercial practical application of the OLED, it is necessary to invent an effective and universal novel device structure to improve the optical light extraction efficiency of the device while suppressing the efficiency roll-off of the OLED device.
Chinese invention patent (publication No. CN108281559A) "a high efficiency, low roll-off phosphorescent organic light emitting diode" discloses a phosphorescent OLED composed of three layers of light emitting layer materials, which can realize higher device efficiency and smaller roll-off efficiency. However, this patent is only applicable to phosphorescent OLEDs and still only about 20% of the photons generated by the device can escape the device and the optical extraction efficiency is still low.
Chinese invention patent (publication No. CN102165845A) "high efficiency Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) and method for manufacturing the same" discloses an OLED device structure including a high refractive index layer or electrodes of reuse patterns, which can effectively extract photons generated in the OLED device to the outside. However, this patent can only effectively reduce the optical loss of the OLED, and cannot solve the problem of roll-off in efficiency of the OLED device.
