White light‐emitting organic electroluminescent devices using the poly(N‐vinylcarbazole) emitter layer doped with three fluorescent dyes

White light‐emitting electroluminescent devices were fabricated using poly(N‐vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as a hole‐transporting emitter layer and a double layer of 1,2,4‐triazole derivative (TAZ) and tris(8‐quinolinolato)aluminum(III) complex (Alq) as an electron transport layer. The PVK layer was doped with fluorescent dyes such as blue‐emitting 1,1,4,4‐tetraphenyl‐1,3‐butadiene, green‐emitting coumarin 6, and orange‐emitting DCM 1. A cell structure of glass substrate/indium‐tin‐oxide/doped PVK/TAZ/Alq/Mg:Ag was employed. White emission covering a wide range of the visible region and a high luminance of 3400 cd/m2 were obtained at a drive voltage of 14 V.
