Enhanced performance of organic light-emitting devices by using electropolymerized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly( styrene sulfonate) film as the anode modification layer
Poly(3,4-ethylenediozythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films were prepared by electropolymerization on patterned indium tin oxide substrates in isopropanol solution. The thickness and doping level of the PEDOT:PSS films were controlled by adjusting the electropolymerization time and the concentration of poly(styrene sulfonate) acid, respectively. Organic light-emitting diodes were fabricated using the electropolymerized PEDOT:PSS film as the anode modification layer. The dependence of the performance on thickness of PEDOT:PSS films was investigated. It is shown that the performance of the device can be further enhanced when the thickness of PEDOT:PSS films reached an optimum condition. This method facilitates manufacturing procedures of conducting polymers films and may offer an economical route for producing organic electroluminescent devices. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
