Effects of the composite anode on brightness and operating voltage of OLEDs are researched. By optimizing the thickness of each layer of the MPTMS/Ag/MoO3 structure, the transmittance of MPTMS/Ag(8 nm)/Mo O3(30 nm) reaches over 75% at about 520 nm. The sheet resistance is 3.78 ?/□, corresponding to this MPTMS/Ag(8 nm)/MoO3(30 nm) structure. For the OLEDs with the optimized anode, the maximum electroluminescence(EL) current efficiency reaches 4.5 cd/A, and the maximum brightness is 37 036 cd/m2. Moreover, the OLEDs with the optimized anode exhibit a very low operating voltage(2.6 V) for obtaining brightness of 100 cd/m2. We consider that the improved device performance is mainly attributed to the enhanced hole injection resulting from the reduced hole injection barrier height. Our results indicate that employing the MPTMS/Ag/MoO3 as a composite anode can be a simple and promising technique in the fabrication of low-operating voltage and high-brightness OLEDs.展开更多

In this research, dye-doped polymer-stabilized cholesteric liquid crystals(PSCLCs) with negative dielectric anisotropy were fabricated, and mirrorless lasing with an electrically tunable wavelength was successfully achieved. Unlike conventional liquid-crystal lasers, the proposed laser aided in tuning the emission wavelength through controlling the reflection bandwidth based on gradient pitch distribution. The principal advantage of the electrically controlled dye-doped PSCLC laser is that the electric field is applied parallel to the helical axis, which changes the pitch gradient instead of rotating the helix axis, thus keeping the heliconical structure intact during lasing. The broad tuning range(～110 nm) of PSCLC lasers,coupled with their stable emission performance, continuous tunability, and easy fabrication, leads to its numerous potential applications in intelligent optoelectronic devices, such as sensing, medicine, and display.展开更多

When fluorescent dyes are doped into the liquid crystal and heavily doped chiral agent system,we demonstrate a wavelength tuning random laser instead of a side-band laser, which is caused by the combined effect of multi-scattering of liquid crystal(LC) and band-gap control. Through rotating the infrared absorbing material on the side of the LC cell, an adjustable range for random lasing of 80 nm by infrared light irradiation was observed.展开更多
