Efficient flexible phosphorescent polymer light-emitting diodes based on silver nanowire-polymer composite electrode

Blue, green, and red electrophosphorescent polymer light-emitting diodes have been fabricated on silver nanowire-polymer composite electrode. The devices are 20%-50% more efficient than control devices on ITO/glass and exhibit small efficiency roll-off at high luminances. The blue PLEDs were repeatedly bent to 1.5 mm radius concave or convex with calculated strain in the emissive layer approximately 5% (tensile or compressive).
