Efficient organic light-emitting devices with platinum-complex emissive layer

We report efficient organic light-emitting devices having a platinum-complex emissive layer with the peak external quantum efficiency of 17.5% and power efficiency of 45 lm W-1. Variation in the device performance with platinum-complex layer thickness can be attributed to the interplay between carrier recombination and intermolecular interactions in the layer. Efficient white devices using double platinum-complex layers show the external quantum efficiency of 10%, the Commission Internationale d'Enclairage coordinates of (0.42, 0.41), and color rendering index of 84 at 1000 cd m(-2).
