Nanotextured light modulation for flexible OLEDs with 370% enhanced EQE and angular color stability.

ABSTRACT: Top-emitting microcavity OLEDs (TEOLEDs) exhibit excellent color purity but suffer from severe angular color shifts. To overcome this, we introduce a nanotextured light modulation strategy using a nanoporous film (NPF) and an index-matched optically clear resin (OCR) for encapsulation. The nanotextured NPF enhances light outcoupling while suppressing cavity-induced angular dependence. As a result, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) is enhanced by 370% (from 8.5 to 31.6%), and angular color shift (Δu'v') is reduced by 65.2% (from 0.046 to 0.016). By introducing a nanostructure-based light modulation technology, we have achieved a breakthrough in microcavity OLED performance, simultaneously improving both outcoupling and angular stability. Applied to flexible TEOLEDs, the device exhibits
