The Study of Nanostructures in Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

Abstract

This thesis presents research in the field of optoelectronic devices, specifically focusing on organic semiconductors (OSCs) employed as emitters within nanostructured arrays. The work encompasses both simulation and experimental aspects, each conducted separately. In the simulation section, two models grounded in the wave-particle duality of light were used to explore the impact of nanostructures on device performance. Following this, experimental investigations with nanostructured organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) substantiated the findings obtained from the simulations. A comparative analysis demonstrated that the presence of nanostructures led to an enhancement in key OLED properties when contrasted with non-structured OLEDs. Alongside these findings, the thesis provides a prospective roadmap for future research intended to maximize the performance of such devices.
