Manipulation of blue TADF top-emission OLEDs by the first-order optical cavity design: toward a highly pure blue emission and balanced charge transport
Fig. 1. (a) Schematic of the TADF TEOLED structure. (b) Diagram of HOMO and LUMO energy level for materials. (c) FIB-SEM image of the optimized device structure.
Fig. 2. (a) Simulated e-field distribution of the microcavity as a function of the HTL and ETL thickness. Each part indicated by the arrow is the thickness range of the HTL and ETL that satisfies the first-, second-, and third-order microcavity condition, respectively. (b) Simulated e-field intensity distribution of the microcavity as a function of the HTL and ETL thickness in the first-order condition (part 1: 15 nm HTL and 35 nm ETL; part 2: 25 nm HTL and 25 nm ETL; part 3: 35 nm HTL and 15 nm ETL). Schematic energy band diagrams of the (c) HOD and (d) EOD.
