Color stable and interlayer free hybrid white organic light-emitting diodes using an area divided pixel structure

Color stable and interlayer free hybrid white organic light-emitting diodes were fabricated by using an area divided pixel structure. The area divided pixel structure was realized by stacking red and blue emitting layers using a fine metal mask. A phosphorescent red emitting layer was patterned by a metal mask and a blue fluorescent emitting layer was commonly deposited on the patterned red emitting layer. The blue fluorescent emitting layer could play a role of a hole-blocking layer and a white emission could be obtained due to separate emission of red and blue emitting layers. The interlayer free hybrid WOLEDs showed color stability from 100 cd/m(2) to 10,000 cd/m(2). (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
