interface. A series of measurements of optical and electrical properties of device indicated that
(1) this concavo-convex interface structure with suitable protrusion thickness can reduce current density of device
hence reduce the formation of phosphorescence quench centers induced by high current density
(2) it can increase the area of charge carrier recombination interface and then disperse triplet excitons
hence decrease triplet-triplet quenching
(3) it can enhance the out-coupling of the waveguide light without spectral distortion. Therefore
this new structure with suitable protrusion thickness can increase remarkably the current efficiency of the device. When the protrusion thickness was 10 nm
the maximum current efficiency of the device can reach to 34.0 cd/A with an increase of 55% compared with the traditional device.
