Commercially-available single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were used to fabricate SWCNT sheets for anodes of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) by spray-coating process without any use of surfactant or acid treatment. A layer of DMSO doped PEDOT:PSS was spray-coated on the SWCNT sheets to not only lessen the surface roughness to an acceptable level, but also improve the conductivity by more than three orders of magnitude. For our SWCNT-based OLEDs of tris-(8-hydroxquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) emission layers, a maximum luminance 4224 cd/m2 and current efficiency 3.12 cd/A were achieved, which is close to the efficiency of ITO-based OLEDs. We further found out that our OLEDs based on the PEDOT:PSS covered SWCNT anodes tripled the contrast ratio of the conventional indium tin oxide (ITO) based OLEDs.
