摘要
We report a highly transparent organic/metal hybrid cathode of a Cs-doped electron transport layer (Cs-ETL)/Ag for transparent organic light-emitting diode (TOLED) applications. Particular attention is paid to the surface morphology on the Ag film and its influence on the optical transparency and electrical conductivity. With the use of Cs-ETL, a smooth and continuous surface morphology of Ag film was achieved, leading to a high transmittance of similar to 75% in TOLED with a low sheet resistance of 4.5 Omega/Sq in cathode film. We successfully applied our Cs-ETL/Ag transparent cathode to fabricate highly transparent OLEDs. Our approach suggests a new electrode structure for transparent OLED applications.
