Improvement of OLED luminous efficiency by cone-shaped microstructure array
A cone-shaped microstructure array was designed on the OLED substrate in order to improve the luminous efficiency of OLED. By means of geometrical optics and ray tracing method
the influence of the surface structure on the luminous efficiency is analyzed. Analysis shows that the maximum luminous efficiency is increased to 60%. Parameters of cone-shaped microstructure array such as duty ratio
the refractive index of the cone microstructure and the slope angle have great effect on the light efficiency. The cone microstructure arrays do not change the radiation angle of OLED
and has concentration function. Results provide a new reference and method for improving the luminous efficiency of OLED.
