Abstract

The performance of top-emission organic light emitting devices (TEOLEDs) can be improved by using a thin capping layer on top of the semitransparent metal electrode. We investigated the emission properties of inverted mixed single layer TEOLEDs with the same device structure but different capping materials. The thickness of capping layer was optimized by calculation. The power efficiency of device was 2.5times enhanced when 45nm TPD capping layer was added. The enhancement is not simply dependent on the transmittance and reflectance of the top contact, but also on other complex phenomena such as the interference effects in the device. The results of properties and dependence of EL spectra on viewing angle for all devices indicated that the large enhancement factor may be related to the complex interference phenomenon in our mixed single layer devices due to the emitter center and recombination region is different from conventional heterojunction devices.
