Abstract

In this study we demonstrate an easy solution-processed highly efficient deep-blue polymer light-emitting diode (PLED) via a simple one-step coating of self-assembly hole injection/transport nanocomposites to achieve both a finer hole ohmic contact and an increased light outcoupling, which is the first time report about both the optical and electrical optimization without necessitating changes in the design or structure of the wide bandgap deep-blue PLEDs themselves. The contact angle and surface energy measurement results demonstrate that triazine-based hole injection molecules can vertically migrate towards the bottom PEDOT:PSS layer to obtain a stable minimum of free energy, resulting in an optimal top-to-bottom HOMO energy level arrangement and an improved hole mobility in deep-blue PLEDs. The random surface nanostructure was formed on top of the hole bilayer, leading to the enhancement of light outcoupling verified by transmittance, transmittance haze and light extraction efficiency. Furthermore, in order to explore the reasons of the hole light scattering formation process, a transient drying monitoring technique is applied to track the drying process of the nanostructure films, revealing this approach effectiveness by easily modifying mixing ratios for obtaining different light outcoupling abilities.
