Alternate current
electroluminescent (ACEL) devices provide a range
of interesting properties, such as facile large-area processability,
mechanical flexibility, and outstanding resilience, when compared
with other large-area light-emitting technologies. To widen the scope
of possible applications for ACEL devices, color tunability and white
light emission are desirable. Here, we introduce a novel three-terminal
device architecture based on two monolithically stacked ACEL devices
(e.g., orange and blue) that allows for color tunability via independent
operation of the subdevices. The tandem devices comprise semitransparent
bottom and top electrodes based on networks of silver nanowires, which
endow the tandem ACEL device with bifacial Janus-type emission. We
provide a detailed analysis of the sources of optical losses in single
and tandem ACEL devices. Our novel device concept enables novel facets
of applications for ACEL in signage and lighting.
