White phosphorescent organic light emitting devices

Abstract

OLED display manufacturers are interested in white organic light emitting devices (WOLED^TMs) because these devices, together with color filters, eliminate the need for high resolution shadow masks, and are scalable beyond Gen 4 substrates. Additionally, WOLEDs are well suited for general-purpose illumination, since their power efficacies are approaching fluorescent lamps. A new structure was developed that had the following characteristics that were measured using a 20" integrating sphere: at 100 cd/m² normal luminance, EQE = 35%, power efficacy is 62 lm/W, operating voltage = 4.4 V, CIE = (0.33, 0.43) and CRI = 70.
