    Symmetry characterization of eigenstates in opal-based photonic crystals

    Full text link
    The complete symmetry characterization of eigenstates in bare opal systems is obtained by means of group theory. This symmetry assignment has allowed us to identify several bands that cannot couple with an incident external plane wave. Our prediction is supported by layer-KKR calculations, which are also performed: the coupling coefficients between bulk modes and externally excited field tend to zero when symmetry properties mismatch.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Physical Review

    Photo-patterning of highly efficient state-of-the-art phosphorescent OLEDs using orthogonal hydrofluoroethers

    Photolithography offers a scalable solution for large area pixel patterning of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. It has been limited due to the incompatibility of traditional processing steps with the majority of organic materials. In this work, photolithographic structuring of state-of-the-art phosphorescent red p-i-n OLEDs is demonstrated using fluorinated polymers in combination with hydrofluoroether solvents. This is the first report on photolithographically patterned OLEDs with state-of-the-art efficiency and good long-term stability

    Orthogonal processing: A new strategy for organic electronics

    The concept of chemical orthogonality has long been practiced in the field of inorganic semiconductorfabrication, where it is necessary to deposit and remove a layer of photoresist without damaging theunderlying layers. However, these processes involving light sensitive polymers often damage organicmaterials, preventing the use of photolithography to pattern organic electronic devices. In this articlewe show that new photoresist materials that are orthogonal to organics allow the fabrication ofcomplex devices, such as hybrid organic/inorganic circuitry and full-colour organic displays. Theexamples demonstrate that properly designed photoresists enable the fabrication of organic electronicdevices using existing infrastructure. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011
