We investigated the luminance enhancement, spectral shift and image blur of the OLED with the microlens array film (MAF) attachment experimentally and theoretically. Highei density, larger curvature, and smaller diameter of the microlenses extracted more light from the substrate mode. The maximum improvements of the luminance at the normal direction and the total power were 42.5% (80%) and 45% (85%) from our experimental (simulation) results, respectively. The differences between the theoretical and experimental results may come from the non-Lambertian radiation of OLED and the imperfection of the microlens array film. From observing the planar OLED, the peak wavelength is blue-shifted and the full width at the half maximum (FWHM) decreased with respect to increasing viewing angles due to the microcavity effect. When the MAF was attached, the spectral peak had a further blue shift (5 to 10 nm at different viewing angles) compared to that of the planar OLED and it came from the light extraction of the MAF from the substrate mode.
