Luminescence characteristics of hybrid dual emitting layers in blue organic light-emitting diodes by controlling the fluorescent doping concentration

We demonstrate blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on a host-dopant system with a dual emitting layer (EML) configuration consisting of variable concentration of fluorescent doped and fixed concentration of phosphorescent doped emitting materials. We also introduce two different device designs by switching the position of the fluorescent and phosphorescent EMLs. Because 4,4ʹ-Bis(2,2-diphenylvinyl)-1,1ʹ-biphenyl (BCzVBi), which is the blue fluorescent dopant, exhibits the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level compared to the neighboring layers, the fluorescent dopant is shown to strongly correlate with hole transport in the fabricated blue OLEDs. In this study, we show how the electrical and optical properties of devices are affected by different doping concentrations due to the hole-transport-related properties of dopant molecules.
