Quasi‐Random Nanostructured Substrates for Enhancing Light Outcoupling in OLEDs
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Organic light–emitting diodes (OLEDs) suffer from low light outcoupling efficiency, with much of the generated light trapped within the device. To address this issue, we present a scalable, maskless, polymer‐free strategy for fabricating quasi‐random external nanowire (ENW) and internal nanocorrugation (INC) structures directly on glass ...
