  • Patent number: 9054338
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include organic light emitting diode (OLED) devices having hollow objects configured to scatter otherwise trapped light out of the device, thereby improving the performance of the device. The hollow objects are dispersed in one or more organic layers of the OLED device. The hollow objects may have a similar refractive index to that of air, such that visible light emitted by the emissive layer may contact the hollow objects in the OLED device and may be scattered out of the device. In some embodiments, the hollow objects may be spherical or tubular, and may be sized to be larger than the visible light wavelength spectrum.

  • Patent number: 7910386
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the preparation of organic light-emitting devices comprising a bilayer structure made by forming a first film layer comprising an electroactive material and an INP precursor material, and exposing the first film layer to a radiation source under an inert atmosphere to generate an interpenetrating network polymer composition comprising the electroactive material. At least one additional layer is disposed on the reacted first film layer to complete the bilayer structure. The bilayer structure is comprised within an organic light-emitting device comprising standard features such as electrodes and optionally one or more additional layers serving as a bipolar emission layer, a hole injection layer, an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, a hole transport layer, exciton-hole transporting layer, exciton-electron transporting layer, a hole transporting emission layer, or an electron transporting emission layer.
