Abstract

The white OLED is fabricated with the anthracene-based blue emitting material, 9-(2-naphthyl)-10-(p-tolyl)anthracene (2-NTA) in various volume-ratios of orange dopant, rubrene, which results in pure white emission with C.I.E. coordinate of ~(0.32, 0.39). The devices with <1.5% rubrene show better EL properties (efficiency) than >3% devices. Furthermore the turn-on voltage of 2-NTA WOLED (3.7 V) is lower than that of 2-NTA blue OLED (5.4 V) at the same condition. Conclusively 2-NTA with rubrene less than 1.5% (v/v) could be utilized for the pure WOLED.

안트라센의 골격을 갖는 청색 발광 물질, 9-(2-naphthyl)-10-(p-tolyl)anthracene (2-NTA)를 기본으로 하고, 오렌지 도판트인 루브렌을 다양한 부피비로 사용하여 백색 유기발광소자를 제작하였다. 그 결과 C.I.E. 좌표가 (0.32, 0.39)인 백색 유기발광소자를 얻었다. 다양한 부피비의 소자 중 루브렌을 1.5% 이하로 증착된 소자가 3% 이상으로 증착된 소자 보다 전기발광 효율이 높았다. 더욱이 2-NTA를 포함하는 백색 유기발광소자는 같은 조전하에서 2-NTA 만의 청색 유기발광소자 보다 낮은 턴온 전압을 갖는다. 결론적으로 2-NTA는 적은 양의 오렌지 도판트만으로 순수한 백색 유기발광소자를 구현할 수 있다.
