Abstract

The internal luminescencequantum efficiencyqq is one limiting factor for the performance of organic light-emitting diodes.Photoluminescencemeasurements are frequently used to estimate qq but these neglect effects of the local environment of the emissive sites and the electrical excitation mechanism. We present a method for the in situmeasurement of qq under electrical operation. The current efficiency of several devices with different emitter-cathode distances is quantitatively compared. Precise optical simulation allows determining qq without additional assumptions.
