Abstract

A dual-periodic corrugation consisting of two sets of gratings with different periods to realize a broadband light extraction in white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) is shown. A 37% enhancement in current efficiency and 48% enhancement in the external quantum efficiency compared to those of the conventional planar devices have been obtained. Besides the much improved efficiency, the dual-periodic corrugated WOLEDs exhibit satisfying viewing characteristics.
