Novel field emission organic light emitting diodes with dynode

This work presents novel field emission organic light emitting diodes (FEOLEDs) with dynode, in which an organic EL light-emitting layer is used instead of an inorganic phosphor thin film in the field emission display (FED). The proposed FEOLEDs introduce field emission electrons into organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), which exhibit a higher luminous efficiency than conventional OLED. The field emission electrons emitted from the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) cathode and to be amplified by impact the dynode in vacuum. These field emission electrons are injected into the multi-layer organic materials of OLED to increase the electron density. Additionally, the proposed FEOLED increase the luminance of OLED from 10820 cd/m2 to 24782 cd/m2 by raising the current density of OLED from an external electron source. The role of FEOLED is to add the quantity of electrons-holes pairs in OLED, which increase the exciton and further increase the luminous efficiency of OLED. Under the same operating current density, the FEOLED exhibits a higher luminous efficiency than that of OLED.
