Abstract

White organic light-emitting devices (WOLEDs) were fabricated with an ultrathin layer of rubrene inserted between NPB and TPBI. With a simple three-layer structure of ITO/NPB(50  nm)/rubrene(0.1 nm)/TPBI(50  nm)/LiF/Al, a white light with CIE coordinates of (0.31, 0.30) were generated. The device gave a maximum luminance efficiency of 2.04  lm/W at 5 V. Furthermore, with a multilayer structure of ITO/m-MTDATA(30  nm)/NPB(20  nm)/rubrene(0.1  nm)/TPBI(40  nm)/Alq3(10  nm)/LiF/Al, the device reached a maximum luminance efficiency of 4.29  lm/W at 4  V and the luminance could exceed 10 000  cd/m2 at 10  V.
