Efficient white phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes using ultrathin emissive layers (<1?nm).

ABSTRACT: In this paper, efficient phosphorescent white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) were fabricated based on ultrathin doping-free emissive layers and mixed bipolar interlayers. The energy transfer processes were proved via the research of WOLEDs with different interlayer thicknesses and transient photoluminescence lifetime. WOLEDs with optimized thickness of doping-free emissive layers show maximum current efficiency of 47.8?cd/A and 44.9?cd/A for three-colors and four-colors WOLEDs, respectively. The Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates shows a very slight variation of (?±?0.02,?±?0.02) from 5793?cd/m2 to 11370?cd/m2 for three-colors WOLEDs and from 3038?cd/m2 to 13720?cd/m2 for four-colors WOLEDs, respectively. The stability of the spectra is attributed to the stable and sequential energy transfer among the various dyes. The color temperature of four-colors WOLEDs can be obtained from 2659 to 6636 by adjusting the thickness of ultrathin emissive layer.
