High light-quality and low color temperature are crucial to justify a comfortable healthy illumination. Wet-process enables electronic devices cost-effective fabrication feasibility. We present herein low color temperature, blue-emission hazards free organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) with very-high light-quality indices, that with a single emissive layer spin-coated with multiple blackbody-radiation complementary dyes, namely deep-red, yellow, green and sky-blue. Specifically, an OLED with a 1,854 K color temperature showed a color rendering index (CRI) of 90 and a spectrum resemblance index (SRI) of 88, whose melatonin suppression sensitivity is only 3% relative to a reference blue light of 480 nm. Its maximum retina permissible exposure limit is 3,454 seconds at 100 lx, 11, 10 and 6 times longer and safer than the counterparts of compact fluorescent lamp (5,920 K), light emitting diode (5,500 K) and OLED (5,000 K). By incorporating a co-host, tris(4-carbazoyl-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA), the resulting OLED showed a current efficiency of 24.9 cd/A and an external quantum efficiency of 24.5% at 100 cd/m. It exhibited ultra-high light quality with a CRI of 93 and an SRI of 92. These prove blue-hazard free, high quality and healthy OLED to be fabrication feasible via the easy-to-apply wet-processed single emissive layer with multiple emitters.
高显色指数和低色温对于实现舒适健康的照明至关重要。湿法工艺使电子器件具有经济实惠的制造可行性。本文介绍了具有高光品质指数的低色温、无蓝光危害的有机发光二极管(OLED),其采用多层黑体辐射互补染料(如深红、黄、绿和天蓝色)旋涂的单一发射层。具体来说,一个色温为 1854 K 的 OLED 显示出显色指数(CRI)为 90 和光谱相似指数(SRI)为 88,其褪黑素抑制敏感性仅为参考蓝光 480nm 的 3%。其在 100lx 时的最大视网膜允许暴露限值为 3454 秒,比紧凑型荧光灯(5920K)、发光二极管(5500K)和 OLED(5000K)的对应物长 11、10 和 6 倍,更安全。通过掺入共主体三(4-咔唑基-9-基苯基)胺(TCTA),所得 OLED 的电流效率为 24.9cd/A,在 100cd/m 时外量子效率为 24.5%。它具有超高的显色指数(CRI)93 和光谱相似指数(SRI)92,证明了通过易于应用的湿法工艺制备的单一发射层和多个发射器,无蓝光危害、高质量和健康的 OLED 是可行的。
