Abstract

Considering the growing importance of energy savings and environment friendliness, solid-state lighting (SSL) is emerging as a highly competent and viable alternative to existing lighting technologies. White light organic light emitting devices (WOLEDs) are capturing the imagination of manufacturers, product designers, and end users owing to their potential use in SSL. Differentiating attributes of white OLEDs are brightness, high color rendering index (CRI), high contrast ratio, thin and lightweight, cost-effective and ease to deposit on plastic substrates to fabricate flexible light sources of different shapes.
