Despite the rapid development of high-efficiency perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) via material design and morphology control, a comprehensive evaluation of the power loss among various optical modes has seldom been conducted for the precise design of device architectures. Here, a quantitative analysis of light outcoupling efficiency (η out ) of PeLEDs is presented with the theoretical simulations by taking into account the key factors of refractive index and film thickness of various functional layers, and the emitter dipole orientation. For a planar PeLED, a rational design to enhance the η out is predicted by constructing multilayer stack in series of transparent electrode/high-index transport layer/perovskite emitter/low-index transport layer/reflective electrode. Furthermore, the role of photonic structures on the outcoupling management is explored, and the potential of a substantial increase in η out is demonstrated with an enhancement factor of over 1.75 by implementing a moth-eye nanostructure into the emitter. We anticipate that the findings shown here will provide the design guidelines for the optical optimization of PeLEDs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
