Efficient triplet harvest for orange-red and white OLEDs based exciplex host with different donor/acceptor ratios

Abstract

Abstract Highly efficient orange-red and white organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based exciplex host with different donor/acceptor ratios and doping concentrations are fabricated for efficient triplet excitons harvest. As a result, the maximum efficiency is achieved at 5:5 ratios exciplex host in orange-red OLEDs with current efficiency, power efficiency and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 37.0 cd/A, 37.3 lm/W and 18.3%, respectively. Furthermore, the white OLEDs under two different doping concentrations give warm white (0.48, 0.41) and cool white (0.28, 0.37) emission with maximum current efficiencies, power efficiencies and EQEs of 38.3/37.6 cd/A, 41.3/43.7 lm/W and 17.8/16.6%, respectively. We found that the triplet exciton harvest on exciplex host through reverse intersystem crossing process and efficient energy transfer are responsible for the high device efficiency.
