Transfer Printing Method to Obtain Polarized Light Emission in Organic Light-Emitting Device

摘要

We demonstrate a transfer printing method to obtain polarized light emission in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). On a rubbed self-assembled monolayer (SAM), a spin-coated liquid crystalline light-emissive polymer is aligned along the rubbing direction because of the anisotropic interfacial intermolecular interaction. Owing to the low surface energy of the SAM surface, the light-emissive layer was easily transferred to a patterned poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) stamp surface without degrading the ordering. Finally, a polarized light-emissive OLED device was prepared by transferring the patterned light-emissive layer to the charge transport layer of the OLED structure.
