摘要
We present a high-efficiency tandem white organic light-emitting diode based upon a C-60/5,5 '''-bis( naphth-2-yl)-2,2': 5',2 '': 5 '',2 '''-quaterthiophene (NaT4) organic heterojunction as a charge generation layer. A maximum current efficiency, maximum power efficiency, and maximum external quantum efficiency of 111.3 cd A(-1), 50.5 lm W-1, and 38.7%, respectively, are obtained. More importantly, the efficiency roll-off is greatly improved with only a slight roll-off to 109 cd A(-1), 40.3 lm W-1, and 38% at a luminance of 1000 cd m(-2). Surprisingly, the electroluminescent spectrum is highly stable at all levels of luminance. Furthermore, our tandem device shows better operational stability than a tandem device employing a conventional charge generation layer. It is concluded that the excellent charge generation, transport, and extraction in the C-60/NaT4 organic heterojunction-based CGL is responsible for the high performances.
