Optimization for white organic light-emitting diode based on DCJTB as color conversion layer

Abstract

In this paper, combining phosphorescence and fluorescence to form white light was realized based on DCJTB:PMMA/ITO/NPB/TCTA/FIrpic:TCTA/TPBi/Ir(ppy)3:TPBi/TPBi/Cs2CO3/Al. The effects of red fluorescence on this white light device was studied by adjusting the concentration of DCJTB. The study shows that the device with a DCJTB concentration of 0.7% in the color conversion layer (CCL) generates a peak current efficiency and power efficiency of 23.4 cd ⋅ A[Formula: see text] and 7.5 lm ⋅ W[Formula: see text], respectively. And it is closest to the equal-energy white point of (0.33, 0.33) which shows a CIE (Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage) coordinate of (0.35, 0.43) and a color rendering index (CRI) of 70 at current density of 10 mA ⋅ cm[Formula: see text]. In order to improve the efficiency, we design and fabricate both high efficient and pure white organic light-emitting diode (WOLED) by replacing the single blue emission layer (EML) with double EMLs of FIrpic:TCTA and FIrpic:TPBi. The further study shows that, when the layers of EML is three and the concentration of DCJTB at 0.7%, the device exhibits good performance specifically, at current density of 10 mA ⋅ cm[Formula: see text], the current efficiency of 28.2 cd ⋅ A[Formula: see text] (power efficiency of 10.3 lm ⋅ W[Formula: see text]), and the CIE coordinate of (0.33, 0.31) (CRI of 80.38).
