Low driving voltage in white organic light-emitting diodes using an interfacial energy barrier free multilayer emitting structure

The driving voltage of white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) with blue fluorescent and red phosphorescent emitting materials was lowered by using a device architecture with little energy barrier between emitting layers. A mixed layer of hole and electron transport materials was used as a host material and an interlayer, reducing the driving voltage of WOLEDs. The driving voltage of WOLEDs was reduced by more than 4 V and power efficiency of WOLEDs was improved by more than 40% due to little energy barrier for holes and electrons injection in light-emitting layer. In addition, there was little change of electroluminescence spectra from 100 to 10,000 cd/m2.
