Optical characteristics of refractive-index-matching diffusion layer in organic light-emitting diodes

Abstract We developed a diffusion layer with a refractive index-matching layer added to a transparent nanoscale polymer-based structure to obtain its effective scattering effects. The diffusion layer had higher haze when the refractive index-matching layer to a higher refractive index was used. This...
