Until now the system of equations for organic semiconductor device modelling has been predominantly solved in a decoupled way with the Gummel algorithm which can suffer from slow convergence. This limits the use of fitting algorithms for parameter extraction and sweeping. For the design of OLED it is of crucial importance to solve the involved equations efficiently on a PC. OLED simulation requires solving the continuity equations for electrons and holes and the Poisson equation in one dimension. The resulting system of equations is strongly coupled. Introducing disorder and novel mobility models for organic materials leads to highly nonlinear equations. In this study we present OLED simulations where the coupled equations are solved with the Newton algorithm. We combine this method with advanced physical transport models such as Gaussian disorder, density- and field-dependent mobilities and generalized Einstein diffusion. The performance of the presented algorithms is compared.
