The outcoupling efficiency (OCE) and the intensity distribution for photonic crystal-based organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were investigated by using the finite difference time domain method and a ray tracing optical simulation. The OCE increased by a factor of ∼1.3 when optimized cylindrical photonic crystals, where refractive index was set to 1.9, were formed as a square lattice between the transparent electrode layer and the substrate. The inclusion of scattering particles in the substrate was effective in extracting the substrate mode, by which the OCE could be enhanced by a factor of ∼1.46. The intensity distribution from the photonic crystal-based OLEDs exhibited a four-fold rotational symmetry, which reflected the symmetry of the square lattice structure of the photonic crystals. This peculiar intensity distribution approached the Lambertian distribution as the density of the scattering particles included in the glass substrate was increased.
