Abstract

White organic light-emitting devices (WOLEDs) were fabricated by combining a blue emitting organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) and a color conversion layer made of yttrium aluminum garnet phosphors and CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) embedded into polymethylmethacrylate. When the ratio of phosphors and QDs changed, a good color balance was achieved at a ratio of 1:5, and the maximum luminance of 18.21 cd/m2 was obtained. As the applied voltage varied from 12 to 16 V, Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates shifted only slightly from (0.32, 0.34) to (0.30, 0.33), indicating a good color stability.
