In this paper, we designed a new antireflective film to improve the optical efficiency of organic light-emitting diode displays (OLEDs). The reflection characteristics in the normal and side viewing directions of OLEDs with the antireflective film were calculated, depending on the degree of polarization and transmittance of the currently used polarizer when used in the antireflective film of an OLED. The results showed that when the polarization degree of the commercial polarizer (99.990~99.995%) is lowered to 99.900%, the average reflectance of the antireflective film is increased by about 0.1% (2.5% in terms of rate of increase) which is difficult to notice with the human eye, while the transmittance is increased by 1.63~3.34% (4.2~8.2% in terms of rate of increase). This study provides an optimal design for high-light-efficiency OLEDs with good antireflection properties.

The polymer-light emtting diodes(PLEDs) were comprised a design of OLED array, process develop by using ITO thin glass, and fabrication of PDMS stamp by using nanocontact printing. In the study, we describe a different approach for building OLEDs, which is based on physical lamination of thin metal electrodes supported by a PDMS stamp layer against an electroluminescent organic. We develop that devices fabricated in this manner have better performance than those constructed with standard processing techniques. The lamination approach avoids forms of disruption that can be introduced at the electrode organic interface by metal evaporation and has a reduced sensitivity to pinhole or partial pinhole defects. Also, it is easy to build patterned PLED with feature sizes into the nanometer regime. This method provides a new route to PLED for applications ranging from high performance displays to storage and lithography systems, and PLED can used for organic electronics and flexible display.

Polymer light-emitting diodes(PLEDs) have great potential application in large area flat panel displays and general lighting so intense academic and industrial research, and impressive scientific and technological progress has been achieved in this field. However, the efficiency and stability of PLEDs till need to be improved in order to fully realize the advantages of low cost and ease of fabrication provided by organic materials. Here, we report our effort to enhance the PLED' s performance in two approaches : 1) Utilizing nano-structured materials such as nano particles, clay, nano porous silica in active layer 2) Modifying the device structure in nano scale to improve not only the device efficiency but also its stability.

In this report, Polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) with an ITO/PEDOT:PSS/MEH-PPV/Al structure were prepared by spin coating method on the glass substrate patterned ITO (indium tin oxide), using PEDOT:PSS(poly(3,4=ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfolnate)) as the hole transfer material and MEH-PPV(poly(2-methoxy-5-(2-ethyhexoxy)-1,4-phenylenvinylene)) having a different concentration (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.5 wt$\%$) as the emitting material. The electrical and optical properties of the prepared PLED samples were investigated. The good electrical and optical properties were observed for the PLED samples with a MEH-PPV concentration ranging from 0.5 to $0.9 wt\%$. However, the current and luminance values for PLED sample with $1.5 wt\%$ of MEH-PPV decreased greatly. The maximum luminance and light efficiency for the PLEDs with concentration of $0.5 wt\%$ MEH-PPV were $409 cd/m^2$ and 4.90 Im/W at 9 V, respectively. The emission spectrums were found to be $560{\~}585 nm$ in wavelength showing orange color.

To improve the external quantum efficiency by means of the optimization of the polymer light emitting diodes(PLEDs) structure, the PLED with ITO/PEDOT:PSS/(PFO)/PFO:MEH-PPV/LiF/Al structure were fabricated and investigated the electrical and optical properties for the prepared devices. ITO(indium tin oxide) and PEDOT:PSS [poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfolnate)] were used as transparent anode film and hole transport materials, respectively. PFO[poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene)] and MEHPPV[poly(2-methoxy-5(2-ethylhe xoxy)-1,4-phenylenevinyle)] were used as the light emitting host and dopant materials. The doping concentration of MEH-PPV was 9wt% with thickness of about $400{\AA}$. We investigated the dependence of the PFO thickness ranging from $200{\AA}$ to $300{\AA}$ on the electrical, optical properties of PLEDs. Among prepared PLED devices with different PFO thicknesses, the highest value of the luminance was obtained for the PLED device with $250{\AA}$ in thickness. As a result, the current density and luminance ware found to be about $400mA/cm^2$ and $1500cd/m^2$ at 13V, respectively. In addition, the luminance and current efficiency of PLED device with double emitting layer (PFO/PFO:MEH-PPV) were improved about 3 times compared with the one with single emitting layer (PFO:MEH-PPV).

We demonstrate the hybrid polymer-quantum dot based multi-functional device (Organic bistable devices, Light-emitting diode, and Photovoltaic cell) with a single active-layer structure consisting of CdSe/ZnS semiconductor quantum-dots (QDs) dispersed in a poly N-vinylcarbazole (PVK) and 1,3,5-tirs- (N-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl) benzene (TPBi) fabricated on indium-tin-oxide (ITO)/glass substrate by using a simple spin coating technique. The multi-functionality of the device as Organic bistable device (OBD), Light Emitting Diode (LED), and Photovoltaic cell can be successfully achieved by adding an electron transport layer (ETL) TPBi to OBD for attaining the functions of LED and Photovoltaic cell in which the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of TPBi is positioned at the energy level between the conduction band of CdSe/ZnS and LiF/Al electrode (band-gap engineering). Through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study, the active layer of the device has a p-i-n structure of a consolidated core-shell structure in which semiconductor QDs are uniformly and isotropically adsorbed on the surface of a p-type polymer core and the n-type small molecular organic materials surround the semiconductor QDs.
