Correlation of recombination zone and device performances of phosphorescent white organic light-emitting diodes

We demonstrate a general method for tuning the color performance of white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) by inserting 0.5 nm thick red emitting layer in different location of blue phosphorescent emitting layer. The Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of WOLEDs were dependent on the position of red emitting layer and they were correlated with recombination zone of the blue phosphorescent emitting layer. Red shift of white CIE was observed as the location of red emitting layer get close to recombination zone of blue emitting layer. In addition, CIE of WOLEDs was kept stable between 100 cd/m2 and 10,000 cd/m2.
