We developed an organic light emitting diode (LED) that emits orange light at the forward bias (ITO anode and Al cathode) and green light at the reverse bias (ITO cathode and Al anode). The organic LED has a triple layer structure where an emission layer with different doped guest dye on each side is interposed between two hole transport layers. Its brightness, maximum 20 cd/m2 was not strong because electrons are blocked by the hole transport layer near the cathode. However, the EL efficiency (lm/W) for the reverse bias was 13 times higher than that for the forward bias.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
