Abstract
In this paper, an organic light-emitting device (OLED) with low reflection for the entire visible range and at different viewing angles by using an absorptive and photo-sensitive material, N,N'-Bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1,7-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxydiimide (MPPDI), as a black layer (BL) structure was demonstrated. A semitransparent double-metal structure, Al/Ag, was used to reduce the driving voltage and enhance the destructive interference of the BL structure. Combined with the broad absorption band of the MPPDI, the reflectance of such a device shows a 12-times decrease compared to the conventional OLED. Also, a photocurrent enhancement effect was observed in our BL-OLED due to the photosensitive quality of the MPPDI. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
