Abstract
In this work, the effects of electrode modification by calcium (Ca) on the performance of AC field induced polymer electroluminescence (FIPEL) devices are studied. The FIPEL device with Ca/Al electrode exhibits 550 cd m−2, which is 27.5 times higher than that of the device with only an Al electrode (20 cd m−2). Both holes and electrons are injected from one electrode in our FIPEL device. We found that the electron injection can be significantly enhanced by a Ca modification on the Al electrode without greatly affecting the hole injection. Therefore, the electrons and holes can be effectively recombined in the emissive layer to form more excitons under the AC voltage, leading to effective light emission. The device emitted much brighter light than other AC-based organic EL devices. This result provides an easy and effective way to improve FIPEL performance.
