High color rendering index and chromatic stability of top‐emitting white organic light‐emitting diodes capped with a supplementary green color conversion layer

Abstract

We have demonstrated high color rendering index (CRI) and chromatic stability of top‐emitting white organic light‐emitting diodes (TEWOLEDs) by capping a supplementary green color conversion layer (CCL) on the cathode of single blue emitter based TEWOLEDs. By employing CCLs, blue photon energy is absorbed and converted to green emission efficiently, resulting in an improvement of CRI from 72 to 86. We attribute the increased high CRI to the broadening of the out‐coupled spectrum and an appropriate intensity match among the three primary colors. Meanwhile, the TEWOLEDs show extremely high chromatic stability. The results indicate that this method provides a new avenue to improve the CRI of TEWOLEDs. (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Multi‐peak and chromaticity‐stable top‐emitting white organic light‐emitting diodes using single blue emitter

“…11. Based on our previous work 12, in this Letter, the detailed variation process and comprehensive analysis for multi‐peak single emitter based TEOLEDs with the increase of HTL thickness is discussed, and multi‐peak and chromaticity‐stable TEWOLEDs are obtained. In addition, the TEWOLEDs show Lambertian source‐like angular distribution characteristic.…”
