We have fabricated a transparent conducting double-layer metal electrode for top emission organic light-emitting devices which consists of thin layers of Ca and Ag metals of different thicknesses, deposited by the vacuum evaporation technique. The process is clean and does not damage the underlaying organic layers. High optical transparency over 70%, low reflectivity (14%) in the visible region, and low electrical sheet resistance (12 ohms/square) in Ca(10 nm)–Ag(10 nm) structures are reported. This transparent conducting Ca–Ag metal electrode opens a practical way to fabricate top-emitting organic displays without generating damage-induced states.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
