4 Organic Devices Simulation: Transport Mechanisms Metal & Semiconductors: charge transport is limited by scattering of the carriers, mainly due to thermally induced phonons and lattice deformations. Transport is limited by phonon scattering. Charge mobility decreases with temperature Organic materials: transport occurs by phonon assisted hopping of charges between localized states. Charge mobility increases with temperature General mobility model of organic material : Poole-Frenkel field-dependent mobility

21 Organic Device Simulation Transient Simulation of OLED Pixel

22 Organic Devices Simulation: Basic OLED Equivalent Circuit A p-type poly-si TFT AM-OLED pixel is shown The cathode and anode electrodes of the OLED form an intrinsic capacitance C and the resulting equivalent circuit is shown When it is connected to a poly- Si TFT with an on resistance R ON, it forms a circuit with its speed limited by the RC time constant

23 Organic Devices Simulation: Corresponding OLED Pixel Structure The device simulation structure of a p-type Poly-Si TFT AM-OLED pixel is shown here The structure is set up for device simulation and does not represent actual process steps More complicated OLED pixels can be simulated using Atlas MIXEDMODE

25 Organic Devices Simulation: OLED Experiment The transient OLED current density response due to a 600ns square data voltage pulse of the experimental and simulation curves are characterized by: A sharp charging spike due to the capacitance of the device followed by a quasi-steady state At turn-off there is a sharp discharging spike followed by some decay * Pinner et al, J Appl Phys 86 (9) 5116

26 Organic Devices Simulation: Exciton Simulation A simulated transient result of the exciton density is shown The exciton density assumes a Langevin recombination process and takes into account singlet excitons, inclusive of diffusive and decay terms

27 Organic Devices Simulation: Experimental EL Curve* One can observe the fast initial EL rise followed by a slower rise, fast modulation in the turn-off, and a decaying exponential tail Assuming the exciton density is proportional to EL, note the similar shape of the previous exciton density simulation with the EL curve * Pinner et al, J Appl Phys 86 (9) 5116
