Research on the impact of spin coating silver nano clusters on the performance of OLED devices

Abstract

To achieve uniform distribution of silver nano clusters (SNCs) on substrate and reveal its effect on the performance of organic light-emitting diode (OLED), the SNCs incorporated OLED was fabricated and SNCs were coated by multi-step spin coating. Compared with the device without SNCs film, the brightness and current efficiency of the OLED devices with SNCs film were highly raised. The enhancement is attributed to SNCs induced local surface plasmon (LSP) oscillation, which can increase the radiative rate of excitons on Alq₃ molecules.
