Abstract

We demonstrate optimized viewing-angle characteristics from top-emitting organic light-emitting devices by integrating a periodic microstructure into the cavity. A holographic lithography technique combined with filling process of the groove by spin coating of a polymer film has been employed to enable its periodically and gradually changed cavity length and suppress the viewing-angle dependence of the peak emission wavelength and intensity. The theoretical and experimental results support that the proposed microstructured cavity can resolve the angular-dependence effect in a very simple and effective way, and a desired omnidirectional emission has been obtained.
