摘要
Single emission layer white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) showing high color stability, low turn-on voltage, high efficiency and low efficiency roll-off by incorporating iridium(III) bis[(4,6-difluo-rophenyl)-pyridinato-N, C-2] (FIrpic) and bis(2-phenylbenzothiazolato) (acetylacetonate) iridium(III) (Ir(BT)(2)(acac)) phosphors dyes have been demonstrated. Our WOLEDs without any out-coupling schemes as well as n-doping strategies show low operating voltages, low turn-on voltage (defined for voltage to obtain a luminance of 1 cd/m(2)) of 2.35 V, 79.2 cd/m(2) at 2.6 V, 940.5 cd/m(2) at 3.0 V and 10300 cd/m(2) at 4.0 V, respectively, and achieve a current efficiency of 40.5 cd/A, a power efficiency of 42.6 lm/W at a practical brightness of 1000 cd/m(2), and a low efficiency roll-off 14.7% calculated from the maximum efficiency value to that of 5000 cd/m(2). Such improved properties are attributed to phosphors assisted carriers transport for achieving charge carrier balance in the single light-emitting layer (EML). Meanwhile the host-guest energy transfer and direct exciton formation process are two parallel pathways serve to channel the overall excitons to dopants, greatly reduced the unfavorable energy losses.
