Abstract

Since tandem OLEDs can obtain the same luminance under several folds of lower current density (depend on the number of EL units), its lifetime can be significantly lengthened. Furthermore, the tandem structure provides the feasibility that EL units of different colors can be vertically stacked together for color tuning and white emission.
