Abstract
Powder electroluminescent devices (PELDs) have a high potential for commercial application because of flat light emission devices and simple printing process fabrication with low-cost production, without semiconductor processes using vacuum and plasma. In conventional PELDs, indium tin oxide (ITO) has been used as a transparent electrode. However, ITO is unfavourable in flexible electronic devices due to its intrinsic brittleness. The authors evaluated the current and luminance characteristics of PELDs prepared on gravure offset-printed invisible silver-grid (Ag-grid) electrodes that were laminated with and without poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulphonate) (PEDOT:PSS) transparent electrodes. The PELD on the Ag-grid laminated with PEDOT:PSS electrode shows the maximum luminance of ∼250 cd/m2 at 200 μm spacing, which is five-fold greater than the luminance of PELD without PEDOT:PSS electrode lamination.
