description | Layered architectures for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are the standard approach for solution-processable materials such as metal-halide perovskites. Upon designing the composition and thicknesses of the layers forming the LED, the primary focus is typically on the optimization of charge injection and balance. However, this approach only considers the process until electrons and holes recombine to generate photons, while for achieving optimized LED performance, the generated light must also be efficiently outcoupled. Our work focuses on the latter aspect. We assume efficient photon generation and analyze the effects of the geometrical configuration together with the dipole orientation, mimicking the light emission, on the main characteristics defining the LED, such as the Purcell effect and the outcoupling efficiency. We find that in-plane dipoles result in significantly increased outcoupling efficiency. Furthermore, the mismatch in refractive index among the layers and their different thicknesses can be tuned to maximize the Purcell effect and minimize internal losses. The combined optimization of dipole orientation and layer thicknesses can improve the efficiency of the LED up to a factor 10, hence highlighting the importance of considering also the photonic properties of the LED structures if the objective is to maximize the LED performance. |
