Abstract:

Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films deposited on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates at low temperature by DC magnetron sputtering from an In-Sn (90{10 wt pct) alloy target were studied. The correla- tion between deposition conditions and ITO property was systematically investigated and characterized. These as-deposited ITO films were used as the anode contact for flexible organic light-emitting diodes (FOLEDs). The fabricated FOLEDs with a structure of PET/ITO/NPB (50 nm)/Alq (20 nm)/Mg:Ag (100 nm) showed a maximum luminance of 2125 cd/m2 at 13 V.

Key words: Flexible Organic light-emitting diodes, Indium tin oxide, DC sputtering
