Optical Processes in OLEDs: Molecular Photonics — •Michael Flämmich, Dirk Michaelis, and Norbert Danz — Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering, 07745 Jena, Germany

Following the OLED display market take-off, huge world wide efforts are spent to develop OLEDs towards competitive sources for general lighting applications. In this context, the light outcoupling problem is well known as the key parameter to improve OLED efficiency in order to tackle existing lighting schemes. From the optical point of view, the device performance is driven (i) by the architecture of the OLEDs layered system and (ii) by the internal features of the emissive material. Studies in recent years have shown that the latter attributes (which are the internal electroluminescence spectrum, the profile of the emission zone, the orientation of the transition dipole moments and the internal luminescence quantum efficiency q) can be determined in situ by measurements of the far-field emission pattern generated by active OLEDs (i.e. in electrical operation) and corresponding optical reverse simulations. Starting from basic considerations of the dipole radiation characteristics, we elaborate specifically how the orientation distribution of the dipole transition moments in the layered system can be analyzed in situ, providing insight into the internal photo-physical processes on the molecular scale of the emitter.
