摘要
We fabricated nondoped white organic electroluminescent devices using vacuum-deposited thin films of blue-emitting 4,4'-bis[N-1-napthyl-N-phenyl-amino]biphenyl (alpha-NPD) and orange-emitting 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-metyl-6-(p-dimethyl aminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM), a hole-blocking layer of 2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(p-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (tBu-PBD) and electron-transporting tris(8-quinolinolato) aluminum (III). Excitons formed at the alpha-NPD/tBu-PBD interface sequentially transfer their energy to alpha-NPD via the Forster mechanism. The exciton is captured by an ultrathin DCM layer located within the pure alpha-NPD layer. The position of the DCM determines the device spectrum, and enables a white emission to be achieved. The spectrum is not sensitive to the voltage applied, and the devices show maximum luminance of about 1000 cd/m(2). (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
