Top-emitting White Organic Light-emitting Diodes with Red Color Conversion Layers
Top-emitting white organic light-emitting diodes (TWOLEDs) have attracted intensive attention due to their great potential for high-resolution full color active matrix display and lighting applications. We have investigated optical and electrical characteristics of the TWOLED combining electroluminescence (EL) of blue material (ADN) with top color conversion layer (CCL) based on non-doped red material (NPAMLI). The TWOLED

was fabricated by vacuum thermal evaporation. The 10 nm thick Au was used as top semitransparent anode
the 40 nm thick Alq

was used as a capping layer to improve the light out-coupling
and the non-doped red material NPAMLI was used as the CCL. The NPAMLI CCL showed strong absorption from 450 nm to 550 nm
which matched well with the emission of the ADN. The EL spectra of the TWOLED additionally contained a red component from NPAMLI
which absorbed a part of the blue EL of the ADN
and converted this to its red fluorescence. Therefore
the TWOLED yielded a white light emission resulting from final mixture of color-converted red light and unabsorbed blue light. The TWOLED with a peak current (power) efficiency of 1.25 cd/A (0.71 lm/W)
CIE coordinates of (0.330
0.292)
and a color rendering index of around 87.5
has been obtained.
