White organic light emitting devices with a color conversion layer

Abstract

A white organic light emitting device (WOLED) combining the blue organic light emitting device with a red color conversion layer (CCL) is reported, which includes a fluorescent material N-(4-((E)-2-(6-((E)-4-(diphenylamino) styryl)naphtha len-2-yl)vinyl) phenyl)-N-phenylbenzenamine (N-BDAVBi) doped into 4,4′-N,N′-dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP) as the blue light emitting layer, and the poly (2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethylhexoxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene (MEH-PPV) as a red CCL. By optimizing the concentration of MEH-PPV in the CCL, a good white light emission is obtained, which shows that the stable CIE coordinates of (0.33, 0.34) will have a slight change when the driving voltage is increased from 6 to 11 V. The maximum brightness and current efficiency of the optimized device are 11294 cd/m² and 6.4 cd/A, respectively.
