High-efficiency organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) can be achieved by employing efficiency-effective materials coupling with suitable device architectures.
Among them, there have been numerous hole-injection and -transport materials reported, but having issues of high-cost, solution-process feasibility, and toxic solvent involvement. In this paper the researchers demonstrate a low-cost solution-processable nanocrystalline copper iodide (CuI) as a hole-injection and -transport material for the fabrication of high-efficiency organic LED.
Outcoupling efficiency is a crucial factor that help in the OLEDs efficiency enhancement. To measure the outcoupling efficiency of OLEDs, which has amorphous CuI and nanocrystalline CuI as HIL/HTL, optical simulation was performed using SETFOS. For the optical simulation, optical parameter, i.e. refractive index, of all functional layers were provided in the software package.
