Bulk-like Al/Ag bilayer film due to suppression of surface plasmon resonance for high transparent organic light emitting diodes

Enhanced Oxidation Stability of Transparent Copper Films Using a Hybrid Organic‐Inorganic Nucleation Layer

“…The additional reflectance caused by the very thin aluminium seed layer is offset by suppression of the parasitic absorption due to surface plasmonic excitations, and so far-field transparency is not degraded as might ordinarily be expected when using a metallic seed layer. [17]…”

“…[14][15][16] Due to the high surface energy of Cu and Ag these metals interact only weakly with glass and other technologically important transparent plastic substrates, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), and so the formation of robust and continuous films of these metals with thickness < 10 nm is notoriously difficult to achieve using thermal evaporation. [3,17] Metal atoms condensing on the substrate diffuse over the surface and aggregate into particles which only form a continuous network for nominal thicknesses > 10 nm. [5,18,19] To enable the formation of uniform slab-like Cu and Ag films at sub-10 nm metal thickness a variety of different inorganic and organic nucleation layers have been proposed whose primary function is to suppress metal atom diffusion during early stages of film growth.…”

[6,17,20,21] For evaporated Cu films the most successful seed layers to date are based on the use of molecular monolayers that chemically bind both to the substrate and Cu, including 3-mercaptopropyl(trimethoxysilane) [MPTMS] and 3-aminopropyl(trimethoxysilane) [APTMS]. [22][23][24] Surprisingly, despite the high potential of optically thin Ag and Cu films as transparent electrodes for optoelectronic applications, studies of the long-term stability of Ag or Cu window electrodes are sparse.…”

60‐1: Invited Paper: Highly Transparent AMOLED Display with Interactive System

“…In order to achieve the dynamic vivid content to catch the audience's eyes, many transparent display technologies, such as liquid crystal display, projected self-luminous display, and LED display are proposed. AMOLED is more suitable for transparent display application due to inherent transparent, high color gamut and self-luminous [5,6]. For fabricating the transparent display, some studies adopt the FMM patterned technology to make the cathode [7,8].…”

The effect of transmittance and luminous efficiency with the application of cathode mesh mask in transparent organic light‐emitting devices

“…Therefore, the general mean to improve the performance of TOLEDs is to adjust the stack structure of the device electrodes and select the appropriate electrode material, or to modify the electrode material, etc. For this purpose, many researchers began to try a variety of alloy cathodes and laminated composite cathodes [1][2][3][4] preparation, and dielectric/metal/dielectric composite structure [5][6][7][8][9] as a TOLED cathode. In addition, in order to enhance light outcoupling, some researchers have also made efforts, such as the use of some new materials, graphene, 10,11 PEDOT: PSS, quantum dots materials, and nanomaterials.…”
