Abstract
Lighting today is expected to be light weighted, flexible, highly efficient, non-expensive and fabricated in an environment friendly way. Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) meet all of these requirements and can be applied using inexpensive and roll-to-roll compatible printing techniques. This work demonstrates the ultrasonic spray coating (USSC) of polyethylenimine (PEI) and polyethylenimine(ethoxylated) (PEIE) as electron injection/transport layer (EIL/ETL) for OLEDs. This high-end printing technique employs ultrasonic atomization to break down a liquid into a spray of homogeneous small (20 µm) droplets. The PEI(E) layer was optimised using USSC and subjected to a complete morphological and electro-optical characterisation. For all manufactured devices current and voltage characteristics and luminous performances were obtained. This study confirms the versatility of USSC and the suitability of PEI(E) as excellent EIL/ETL for OLEDs and paves the way towards fully printed devices.
