Abstract

In this study, a facile method for preparing SiO₂ composites with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is reported. Photophysical properties, which includes surface morphology, thermal and optical properties, for the proposed SiO₂ composites are comprehensively identified. The SiO₂ composites feature highly transparent with a high transmittance of 91.0 % and a high haze of 99.1 % in the UV–vis regime and are employed for organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) to improve device performance. Consequently, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of multiple resonance (MR)-OLEDs attached SiO₂ composites were found to be improved, rising from 2.38 % to 4.88 %, corresponding to a significant efficiency enhancement of 104 % compared with the reference. Additionally, applying SiO₂ composites to commercial white OLED panel demonstrates an ultra-small angular color shift of (0.0003, 0.0061) as viewing angles increased from 0° to 60°, which was deduced from the large diffusing angle induced strong scattering capability. It is worth noting that the fabrication of the proposed SiO₂ composites is facile and low-cost, and the substantial improvement in OLED performance indicates that this approach is promising for display and light applications.

期刊介绍： Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials. OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on: • Optical Properties of Material Systems; • The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena; • The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications. Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
