Abstract

In this work, the emission efficiency and spectral shift with respect to viewing angle were optimized by optimizing the design of the multi-layer top mirror of a microcavity OLED device. We first established criteria for the emission side mirror in order to optimize light intensity and spectral shift with viewing angle. Then we designed mirror using metallic and dielectric layers based on the target defined. The electroluminescence emission spectra of a microcavity OLED consisting of widely used organic materials, N,N'-di(naphthalene-1-yl)-N,N'-diphenylbenzidine (NPB) as a hole transport layer and tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) (Alq₃) as emitting and electron transporting layer was then calculated. Silver was used as the anode and back reflection mirror for the microcavity OLED. The simulation was performed for both the conventional LiF/Al cathode/top mirror and the optimized 5-layered top mirror. Our results indicate that by following the design procedure outlined, we simultaneously optimize the device for better light intensity and spectral shift with viewing angle.
