Bright single-layer white light-emitting organic electroluminescent de
vices were developed by using dye-dispersed poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PV
K). The active layer consists only of one polymer layer that is simply
sandwiched between two electrodes, indium-tin oxide, and Mg:Ag. In or
der to achieve bipolarity in the single polymer emitter layer, PVK was
molecularly dispersed with electron-transporting additives such as bi
phenyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole. In addition, several
fluorescent dyes, having different emission colors, were dispersed as
emitting centers. By adjusting the concentration of the fluorescent dy
es, white light with a maximum luminescence of 4100 cd/m(2) was obtain
ed, which is the brightest white light ever observed for organic elect
roluminescent devices. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
