Abstract

An efficient flexible top-emitting organic light-emitting device (OLED) was fabricated on an aluminum-laminated polyethylene terephthalate substrate. A spin-coated light-emitting polymer layer was sandwiched between a silver anode and a multi-layered semitransparent cathode. The performance of polymer OLEDs was analyzed and compared with that of the devices having a conventional structure. An optical microcavity formed in the device enables to tune the emission color by varying the thickness of the active polymer layer. The OLEDs having a 110-nm-thick active polymer layer exhibited superior electroluminescence performance, with a turn-on voltage of 2.5 V and a luminance efficiency of 4.56 cd/A at an operating voltage of 10 V.
