Duplicating "sunlight" from simple WOLEDs for lighting applications.

Simple single-dopant white organic light-emitting devices (WOLEDs) with optimized efficiency/color quality/brightness trade-offs are developed; the white light produced shows the best color quality ever exhibited by WOLEDs at very high brightness, and is even able to duplicate the natural sunlight source.
