High-efficiency white polymer light-emitting diodes based on blended RGB polymers
We have fabricated white polymer light-emitting devices (WPLEDs) from RGB polymer blending systems using ITO/PEDOT:PSS/blended polymers/LiF/Al structure. The highest current efficiency reached 5.34 cd/A and the maximum brightness value of 27,000 cd/m(2) at 11.4 V was obtained. As the green dopant concentration increased, the spectrum deviated from the white because of more energy transfer from host to guest. As a result, the 450 nm blue peak was reduced by increasing green dopant ratio. On the other hand, 600 nm red shoulder peaks were slightly increased at the same conditions. Therefore, red-orange and green electroluminescence emissions are promoted by excitation energy and charge transfer from the blue host polymer to the dopants.
