Abstract
We demonstrate a highly efficient inverted top-emitting organic light-emitting diode (TOLED) having stable electroluminescent spectra and color coordination with variation of viewing angles by simply tuning the resonance wavelength corresponding to the free emission of the emitter. Using a doped fluorescent emitting system, the inverted TOLED exhibits an enhanced maximum current efficiency of 19 cd/A and a power efficiency of 17 lm/W, which are much higher than those (11 cd/A and 5 lm/W) of the counterpart with normal structure, although both TOLEDs behave with similar stable electroluminescent spectra characteristics. The results indicate that we provide a simple and effective method of constructing an excellent inverted TOLED for potentially practical applications. -
