High-Efficiency Fluorescent Blue Organic Light-Emitting Device with Balanced Carrier Transport

Abstract
We demonstrate a blue fluorescent organic light-emitting device having a current efficiency of 19.2cd∕A19.2cd∕A and an external quantum efficiency of 8.32% at 100cd∕m2100cd∕m2 . While driving at 20mA∕cm220mA∕cm2 , the device showed a current efficiency of 16.5cd∕A16.5cd∕A with a CIE coordinate at (0.155, 0.239) and an operation voltage of 5.14V5.14V . The estimated half-decay lifetime is 15,611h15,611h at an initial luminance of 1000cd∕m21000cd∕m2 . The improved performance is the result of better carrier balance which is achieved by using bis(10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinolinato)beryllium (Bebq2)(Bebq2) as the electron-transport layer.
