Abstract

We report on the properties of white light emitting electroluminescence (EL) devices fabricated by combining blue and orange light emitting organic materials, parahexaphenyl (PHP) and a new isothianaphthen-S-oxide (ITSO) oligomer. The EL spectrum of this oligomer blend covers the range from 400 to 650 nm. When the concentration ratios of these materials are suitably adjusted a pure white light emission (CIE coordinates of x=0.333 and y= 0.338) and a high external EL quantum efficiency of 1.2% photons/electron can be obtained. The mechanism of the white light generation is ascribed to an internal self-absorption of part of the blue PHP light emission by ITSO and a subsequent photoluminescence emission process of ITSO. The results of photoinduced absorption, which is sensitive to charged species and triplet states of these guest-host systems, are discussed.
