摘要
Based on the geometrical optics model, the expression of flexible organic light emitting devices (FOLED)'s out-coupling efficiency was presented. The influence of substrate curvature and its thickness, and organic layer's refractive index on the performance of the FOLED's out-coupling efficiency was studied, and the variation of out-coupling efficiency between FOLED and plane organic light emitting display (OLED) are contrasted as well. The result shows that: the out-coupling efficiency is enhanced with increased substrate curvature and its thickness, but is reduced with increased organic layer's refractive index for outcurved substrate. The out-coupling efficiency is reduced with increased substrate curvature and thickness, and is also reduced with increased organic layer's refractive index for incurvated substrate. The out-coupling efficiency of OLED is reduced with increased organic layer's refractive index.
