Patent number: 11038147Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an organic electroluminescence device with enhanced out-coupling efficiency. The electroluminescence device comprises a substrate, a first electrode disposed on the substrate, an organic layer and a second electrode. The organic layer is formed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The organic layer comprises one or more nanoparticles forming protrusion features on the organic layer thereby forming a topographical structured organic layer in the electroluminescence device. The electroluminescence device is capable of reducing the surface plasmon polariton loss thereby, enhancing the light out-coupling the electroluminescence device.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2017Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Sumitomo Chemical Company LimitedInventors: Philip Benzie, Mark Herrington, Karen Alsop-Fox
