Highly efficient and stable white light organic light-emitting devices

Abstract

A highly efficient two-element white light organic light-emitting device with a sky blue dopant BUBD-1 and a yellow dopant TBRb was fabricated. The device achieved an electroluminescence efficiency of 17.1 cd/A and 7.9 lm/W at 20 mA/cm(2). From 112 to 32 010 nits, the CIEx,y coordinates variation was Delta(x,y)<+/-(0.01,0.01), which is superior to common white light organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) that tend to change color with drive conditions. Moreover, the device reached a half-decay t(1/2) lifetime over 40 000 h at an initial luminance of 300 cd/m(2). This result is among the best records of fluorescent white light OLEDs.
