Pure RGB Emissions Based on a White OLED Combined with Optical Colour Filters

We report on a white organic light emitting device (OLED) with a single light emitting layer consisting of a greenish-white emitting host bis-(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole)zinc (Zn(BTZ)₂) and an orange-red dopant 5,6,11,12-tetraphenylnaphthacene (rubrene). The Commission Internationale De L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates, external quantum efficiency, and brightness of the white OLED are (0.341, 0.334), 0.63% and 4000Cd/m² at the bias of 20V, respectively. Pure red-green-blue (RGB) emissions have been successfully achieved from the white OLED combined well with several built-in optical colour filters (CFs). The CIE coordinates of the white mixture calculated in theory are very close to the coordinates of the white mixture which recorded with spectrophotometer in practice.
