Abstract:
Linearly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (LP-OLEDs) featuring high color purity and directional emission have become essential light sources for near-eye displays, holographic projection, and high-precision optical sensing. However, a strategy capable of simultaneously controlling multiple parameters including color purity, directionality, polarization, and optoelectronic efficiency has remained an unmet challenge in OLED development. Herein, we demonstrate a blue-emitting OLED that combines high color purity with highly directional transverse-electric (TE)-polarized emission, realized through a strongly photon-photon mode-coupled microcavity architecture. By hybridizing the second-order Fabry-Perot mode with the first-order grating microcavity mode, the system achieves strong coupling with a mode splitting energy of 321 me. Consequently, the resulting polarized OLED exhibits outstanding performance including a transverse-electric/transverse-magnetic polarization extinction ratio of 17.3 dB, an external quantum efficiency of 3.4%, and a narrow full width at half maximum of 17.0 nm with an angular distribution of 10°. These findings validate the practical viability of microcavity coupling for advancing optoelectronic devices, particularly in display technologies and photonic integration.

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.

Biasing of P-N Junction
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...
