Abstract
The emission color of organic-light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) can be tuned by doping the active layer with fluorescent polymers, dyes or macromolecules. We built white light emitting OLEDs with an external electroluminescence (EL) quantum efficiency of up to 1.8% by doping a blue-light-emitting laddertype poly(paraphenylene) with an orange emitting fully π-conjugated macro-molecule. For the EL spectra we found a much stronger contribution from the guest emission than in photoluminescence, which is attributed to charge carrier trapping at the guest and subsequent EL in addition to excitation energy migration of singlet excitons from the host to the guest.Keywords
