Abstract

In this paper, we investigated an enhancement of luminance in a perovskite light-emitting diode (PeLED) by inserting periodic microscale gratings. Soft imprinting was employed to pattern the gratings onto the surface of perovskite film in the annealing process. It was found that the grain-refining effect deeply influenced the morphology and crystallinity of the perovskite film. The finite-element analysis was utilized to confirm the light extraction enhancement arising from the inserted microscale gratings. Additionally, the introduction of microscale gratings led to a 1.33 enhancement of the device's optoelectrical field intensity. Thus, the patterned PeLED obtained an enhancement of 2.96 and 2.1 of the luminance and external quantum efficiency, respectively.
