The authors report on an internal device modification for multilayer organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with enhanced efficiency that promises high compatibility with conventional manufacturing processes. By copolymerization of a hole-conducting monomer with a compound possessing a lower refractive index, a hole-transport layer with reduced optical density but slightly reduced hole-transport properties is formed. Multilayer OLEDs based on this reduced-index layer show a 25% increased efficiency compared to reference devices. The results are compared to optical simulations of the dipole emission from thin organic films. It is found that the efficiency improvement is only to some extent due to enhanced outcoupling resulting directly from the reduced refractive index but primarily due to a change of the width of the emission zone.
