In this study, the effect of a dual microcavity on the luminescent characteristics and light extraction efficiency of organic red light-emitting devices with a multi-cathode structure was investigated. It was clarified that surface plasmon loss on a metal cathode was reduced to about one-fifth and can be efficiently extracted from the outside with...

... concentration of the red dopant was fixed at 5 wt.%. Figure 1 (b) shows the proposed device structure with a dual microcavity, in which the cathode has multiple layers consisting of a semi-transparent MgAg thin film metal, an optical buffer (OB) layer, and a highly reflective silver film. The proposed device structure is called a multi-cathode (MLC) structure. ...

... experimental and simulated results were almost the same. Figure 10 (a) and (b) show the viewing angle dependence of the electroluminescent spectra in the red lightemitting devices with and without a dual-microcavity, respectively. The normal device exhibited a red emission with a peak wavelength of 634 nm and a broad shoulder band on the long wavelength side. ...
