摘要
Multilayer transparent electrode based on Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO)/Ag/Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) was fabricated by sputtering, and a green organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device utilizing AZO/Ag/AZO as anode was fabricated. The AZO/Ag/AZO multilayer film exhibited superior square resistance and optical transmittance to those of commercial indium tin oxide (ITO). In comparison with the green OLEDs based on ITO and pure AZO anode, the green OLED based on AZO/Ag/AZO showed the highest light-emitting efficiency. The results indicate that AZO/Ag/AZO multilayer electrodes are a promising low-cost, low-toxic and low-temperature processing electrode scheme for OLED application. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
