Abstract

In this paper, we review our recent work on triplet harvesting (TH) and its application in white organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). This includes the configuration of highly efficient single unit two-color and tandem four-color white OLEDs reaching efficacies of more than 30 lm/W at 1000 cd/m², as well as the development of new blue fluorescent emitters. The new compounds are chemically designed to exhibit a high triplet energy to allow TH by a green phosphorescent emitter. In a first step towards white TH OLEDs, we fabricated blue-green TH OLEDs to prove the validity of our concept.
