Description:
In organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), a stack of multiple organic layers facilitates charge flow from the low work function [~4.7 electron volts (eV)] of the transparent electrode (tin-doped indium oxide, ITO) to the deep energy levels (~6 eV) of the active light-emitting organic materials. We demonstrate a chlorinated ITO transparent electrode with a work function of 〉6.1 eV that provides a direct match to the energy levels of the active light-emitting materials in state-of-the art OLEDs. A highly simplified green OLED with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 54% and power efficiency of 230 lumens per watt using outcoupling enhancement was demonstrated, as were EQE of 50% and power efficiency of 110 lumens per watt at 10,000 candelas per square meter.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Helander, M G -- Wang, Z B -- Qiu, J -- Greiner, M T -- Puzzo, D P -- Liu, Z W -- Lu, Z H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 May 20;332(6032):944-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1202992.
