Angular dependence of the emission wavelength in microcavity organic light-emitting diodes

In this work, we have calculated the emission wavelength dependence on the viewing angle for different combinations of metallic mirrors. The dispersion of the optical functions of ten different metals is fully taken into account using Lorentz oscillator model. The metals have been assigned to a function of top (cathode) or bottom (anode) mirror based on their work function. Refractive index dispersion of organic layers, N,N'-disphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-disphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD) and tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (emitting layer) is taken into acocutn via Cauchymodel. The change of the emission wavelength with angle has been calculated iteratively to fully take into account wavelength dependence of indices of refraction and phase change. Calculations have been performed for different hole transport materials and different thickness of the emitting layer.
