초록

Because of a waveguiding effect and total internal reflection caused by a difference in refractive indices, only 20% of generated light is emitted to the air and the rest is trapped or absorbed in the device. An improvement of outcoupled efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes was studied using a microlens array. Mold of microlens array was fabricated by using photo-lithography with the AZ9260 photoresist, and the microlens array was formed onto the glass substrate using the UV curing agent named ZPU13-440. Device structure consists of microlens/glass/ITO/TPD/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al. It was found that there is an improvement of external quantum efficiency by about 20% at the same current density for the device with the microlens array compared to that of the reference one. Simulated outcoupled efficiency shows the improvement by about 20% for the device with the microlens array compared to that of the reference one. These results are consistent with the experimental ones.
