Recent years have brought remarkable developments in white light emitting devices (WLEDs) and white organic light-emitting devices (WOLEDs). However, their efficiency, CIE values, CRI and lifetime are still not ideal. This review covers detailed discussion about syntheses of organometallic complexes, inorganic phosphors and quantum dots used in WLEDs, WOLEDs and their electroluminescent properties until December 2007.

We present both a theoretical analysis and experimental data to show that electrophosphorescent top-emitting organic light emitting-devices (TOLEDs) with a reflective anode and a transparent cathode can be more efficient than the equivalent state-of-the-art bottom-emitting electrophosphorescent OLEDs (PHOLEDs$^{TM}$). The lifetime of devices with transparent cathodes are shown to approach that of the corresponding bottom-emitting devices.

Organic light emitting devices have attracted the attention of many people because of their high potential for self-emission and flexible display devices. However, due to limitations in device efficiency and lifetime, partial commercialization is underway. In this paper, we have investigated the electrical conduction mechanism of the organic light emitting device by the temperature and the thickness of the light emitting layer through the current - voltage characteristics with respect to the conduction mechanism directly affecting the efficiency and lifetime of the organic light emitting device. Through the study, it was found that the conduction in the low electric field region is caused by the movement of the heat excited charge in the ohmic region and the tunneling of the electric charge due to the high electric field in the high electric field region.

Green-light emitting OLED with single layer of Alq3 and orange-light emitting OLED with double layer of rubrene/Alq3 as EML were fabricated and characterized comparatively. The two OLED devices were based on an anode of ITO, HTL of TPD, and cathode of Al, respectively. The green light emitting OLED was then prepared with Alq3 as both ETL and EML, while the orange-light emitting OLED was prepared with rubrene deposited on Alq3. All the component layers of the OLED devices were deposited by a thermal evaporation technique in vacuum. Photoluminescence characteristics of the EML layers were investigated. Electrolumiscence characteristics of the OLED devices were comparatively investigated.

Lifetime study of blue phosphorescent and thermally activated delayed fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes was carried out to understand the dominant degradation process during electrical operation of the devices. Doping concentration dependence of the phosphorescent and thermally activated delayed fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes was studied, which demonstrated long lifetime at low doping concentration in the phosphorescent devices and at high doping concentration in the thermally activated delayed fluorescent devices. Detailed mechanism study of the two devices described that triplet-triplet annihilation is the main degradation process of phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes, whereas triplet-polaron annihilation is the key degradation factor of the thermally activated delayed fluorescent devices.

The internal quantum efficiency of organic light emitting devices(OLEDs) using fluorescent organic materials is limited within 25% because of the triplet excitons which can hardly emit light. So there has been considerable interest in finding ways to obtain light emission from triplet excitons. One approach has been to add phosphorescent compounds to one of the layers in OLEDs. Then triplet excitons can transfer to these phosphorescent molecules and emit light. In this study, multilayer OLEDs with phosphorescent emitter, Iridium complexes were prepared. The devices with a structure of ITO/TPD/Ir complex doped in the host material/Alq3/Li:Al/Al were fabricated, and its electrical and optical characteristics were studied. Using various Ir complexes and the host materials, we fabricated several devices and investigated the device characteristics.

We have carry out numerical simulation of the electric-optical characteristics of organic light emitting diodes with gradient-doped emitting layer which were reported to be effective in improving luminous efficiency and lifetime. In this paper, the basic structure is comprised of ITO/NPB/$Alq_3$:C545T[%]/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al, six devices by separating the emitting layer of $Alq_3$:C545T[%] were studied. As the result, the uniformly-doped devices exhibited superior luminous efficiency-current density characteristics over conventional undoped device. In the case of gradient-doped devices, electric-optical characteristics were improved similar to uniformed-doped devices, unusually the distribution of traped-charge density in the OLED devices was shown as the staircase.

In order to achieve white emission from organic light emitting devices (OLEDs), five distinct structures were fabricated and tested. The white emission was obtained using two different color-emitting materials (yellow from rubrene-doped $Alq_3$ and blue from DPVBi) with or without a carrier-blocking layer. For enhancing the red emission, two types of devices with three-color emitting materials were fabricated. The white emission, close to the CIE coordinate of (0.3,0.3), was achieved by using two blocking layers as well that as without a blocking layer. This paper covers the subject of controlling the location of exciton recombination zone. It has been found that there is a trade-off in that the devices with three color emitting layers do not show as much luminescence efficiency compared to those with two color emitting layers, but rather, show distinct red emission in the resultant emission spectra. The highest power efficiency was measured to be 1.15lm/W at 2,000 $cd/m^2$ for a structure with two color-emitting layers.

The efficiency of light-emitting diode (LED) devices is a significant factor that reflects the capability of these devices to convert electrical power into optical power. In this study, a method for estimating the efficiency of LED devices is proposed. An efficiency model and a heat power model are established as convenient tools for LED performance evaluation. Such models can aid in the design of LED drivers and in the reliability evaluation of LED devices. The proposed estimation method for the efficiency and heat power of LED devices is verified by experimentally testing two types of commercial LED devices.

Development of white light emitting materials has been an interesting area for scientists and scientists have developed many organic, polymer and inorganic materials for white electroluminescent devices. Among them, single component small molecules gave best results in terms of efficiency, simplicity of device fabrication, and CIE values. Therefore, this review covers detailed discussion about syntheses of small compounds used in white organic light emitting devices until 2007.
