Efficiency enhancement in blue phosphorescent organic light emitting diode with silver nanoparticles prepared by plasma-assisted hot-filament evaporation as an external light-extraction layer

The uniform growth of silver (Ag) nanoparticles in large areas is important for improving the flat panel devices, mainly organic light emitting diodes (OLED). In this work, two dimensional (2D) arrays of Ag nanoparticles were grown on glass surface substrates via plasma-assisted hot-filament evapora...
