Characterization of higher harmonic modes in Fabry–Pérot microcavity organic light emitting diodes

Abstract Encasing an OLED between two planar metallic electrodes creates a Fabry–Pérot microcavity, resulting in significant narrowing of the emission bandwidth. The emission from such microcavity OLEDs depends on the overlap of the resonant cavity modes and the comparatively broadband electrolumine...
