Nanostructured PEDOT:PSS film with two-dimensional photonic quasi crystals for efficient white OLED devices

摘要

A polymeric PEDOT:PSS film nanostructured with Photonic Quasi Crystals that opens the path towards more efficient white OLEDs is presented. For the first time three different quasi crystal families were fabricated (octagonal, dodecagonal and Thue-Morse) onto a conductive polymeric film combining high-resolution electron beam lithography (EBL) and plasma etching techniques to improve light extraction and to control spectral tunability. The efficiency gain obtained in light extraction holds great promise for the use of quasi crystals as functional components in polymeric based White Organic Light Emitting Diode (WOLED) devices.
