Abstract
We report a flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) based on transparent polyimide (PI) substrate with 3-D photonic structure, which shows a maximum gain factor of ∼1.7 for current efficiency at large viewing angle. The PI substrate is a replicate from glass carrier with hexagonal closely-packed convex-truncated-cone array. Green OLEDs are fabricated on the planar surface of the PI substrate before being mechanically de-bonded from the glass template. The proposed OLEDs exhibit excellent angular optical properties including stable CIE coordinates with Δx = −0.006 and Δy = 0.002 as the viewing angle varies from 0° to 50°. Surface scattering effect of the 3-D photonic structure eliminates the periodic distortion phenomenon in electroluminescence spectrum of flexible OLEDs.
