Abstract

A blue light emitting diode based on wide band gap host for a blue fluorescence light emitting layer has been developed to fabricate hybrid white organic light emitting diode comprising of a fluorescence blue and a phosphorescence red light emitting layers. We have tested various wide band gap host materials including CBP, BAlq, and TcTa, and among them the device with TcTa host has shown good performance which could be attributed to tight exciton confinement. A phosphorescence red dopant (RD) has been introduced into BAlq layer to harvest triplet states of the fluorescence blue emission layer and we have succeeded in obtaining the balanced emission of the blue and the red emissions with high efficiency. The device showed the maximum external quantum efficiency of 16% at 0.1 mA/cm2 and 13% of external quantum efficiency with (0.29, 0.23) of CIE coordinates at 10 mA/cm2.
