Abstract

A simple fabrication method for a light extraction layer is required. In this report, an internal light extraction layer composed of a high refractive index material and an air void is fabricated in five steps. A direct printing process followed by annealing of the randomly arrayed poly(benzyl methacrylate) pillars after a planarization process using TiO2-nanoparticle dispersed resist and sol is used. These substrates are used for light extraction in white tandem organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs). By combining the hollow structure and hemi-spherical lens, WOLEDs without and with the light extraction structures are found to show maximum external quantum efficiencies of 35.6% and 103%, respectively. The power efficiencies at 100 cd m−2 of the WOLEDs without and with the light extraction structures are found to be 26.5 and 93.2 lm W−1, respectively. A color rendering index of 86.4, correlated color temperature of 4860 K, and CIE of (0.353, 0.389) are achieved in the WOLEDs with light extraction structures.
