Researchers have developed a highly efficient linearly polarized organic LED, capitalizing on the inherent polarization properties of the transverse electric waveguide mode within the device. Utilizing a linear grating, they achieved 67.6% light confinement in this mode, resulting in a polarized LED with a current efficiency of 136 cd/A and a polarization ratio exceeding 30. Further enhancements to current efficiency are possible, making this architecture adaptable for various thin-film LED applications in photonics.

How Setfos was used

The researchers used Setfos for optical simulations to analyze the spatial distribution of different modes in the top-emitting OLED device, determine the optimized device geometry, and simulate the dissipated power versus the effective refractive index in the optimized condition to enhance the efficiency of polarized emission.
