Abstract

We have developed low driving voltage white organic light emitting diode with a new electron transport material, triphenylphosphine oxide ($Ph_{3}PO$). The white light emission was realized with a rubrene yellow dopant and blue-emitting DPVBi layer. The new electron transport layer results in a very high current density at low voltage, resulting in a reduction of driving voltage. The device with a new electron transport layer shows a brightness of $1150\;cd/m^2$ at a low driving voltage of 4.3 V.
