Nanoslot metasurface design and characterization for enhanced organic light-emitting diodes
Abstract We investigate bottom-emitting organic light-emitting diodes (B-OLEDs) integrated with metasurface (MS) to analyze the effect of the structural parameters on the output performance. The performance of the MS-integrated B-OLED (MIB-OLED) is evaluated by out-coupling efficiency (OCE) and refl...
