Abstract
Since the development of the first white organic light-emitting device (OLED) in 1993, twenty years have passed. The power efficiency and lifetime of this white OLED were reportedly only <1 lm W−1 and <1 day, respectively. However, recent rapid advances in material chemistry have enabled the use of white OLEDs for general lighting. In 2012, white OLED panel efficiency has reached 90 lm W−1 at 1000 cd m−2, and a tandem white OLED panel has realized a lifetime of over 100 000 hours. What is more important in OLEDs is to shed clear light on the new design products, such as transparent lighting panels and luminescent wallpapers. These fascinating features enable OLEDs as a whole new invention of artificial lighting. In this review, we would like to overview the recent developments of white OLED, especially three key elemental technologies related to material chemistry: (1) low operating voltage technology, (2) phosphorescent OLED technology and (3) multi-photon emission (MPE) device technology.

Molecular Orientations of Delayed Fluorescent Emitters in a Series of Carbazole-Based Host Materials.

TL;DR: The results indicate that π-π stacking, CH/n (n = O, N) weak hydrogen bonds, and multiple CH/π contacts greatly induce horizontal orientation of the TADF emitters in addition to the molecular shape anisotropy.

Novel microlens arrays with embedded Al2O3 nanoparticles for enhancing efficiency and stability of flexible polymer light-emitting diodes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have fabricated novel microlens arrays based on an organic-inorganic hybrid sol on a flexible substrate, which can not only extract more light but also block gas molecules, and further light-extraction from Al2O3 nanoparticles in the arrays was confirmed by an increase in diffusive reflectance and photoluminescence intensity.

White organic light-emitting diodes with fluorescent tube efficiency

TL;DR: An improved OLED structure which reaches fluorescent tube efficiency and focuses on reducing energetic and ohmic losses that occur during electron–photon conversion, which could make white-light OLEDs, with their soft area light and high colour-rendering qualities, the light sources of choice for the future.

Management of singlet and triplet excitons for efficient white organic light-emitting devices

TL;DR: This device challenges incandescent sources by exhibiting total external quantum and power efficiencies that peak at 18.7 ± 0.6 lm W-1, respectively, and two distinct modes of energy transfer within this device serve to channel nearly all of the triplet energy to the phosphorescent dopants, retaining the singlet energy exclusively on the blue fluorescent dopant.
