Doping-Free White Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Abstract

Doping-free white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) have great potential to the next-generation solid-state lighting and displays due to the excellent properties, such as high efficiency, bright luminance, low power consumption, simplified structure and low cost. In this account, our recent developments on doping-free WOLEDs have been summarized. Firstly, fundamental concepts of doping-free WOLEDs have been described. Then, the effective strategies to develop doping-free WOLEDs have been presented. Particularly, the manipulation of charges and excitons distribution in different kinds of doping-free WOLEDs have been highlighted, including doping-free fluorescent/phosphorescent hybrid WOLEDs, doping-free thermally activated delayed fluorescent WOLEDs and doping-free phosphorescent WOLEDs. In the end, an outlook for the future development of doping-free WOLEDs have been clarified.
