Abstract
Voltage-dependent, color-tunable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are appealing tools that can be used for the visualization of electronic output signal of sensors. Nonetheless, the literature-reported color-tunable OLEDs that have a simple single-cell device structure suffer from relatively low efficiency, pronounced efficiency roll-off, color-aging, and short operation lifetime, all of which limit their practical applications. Here, a novel co-host-in-double-emissive-layer (CHIDEL) device, designed to enhance the performance of color-tunable OLEDs with the use of a single tetradentate Pt[O<sup>^</sup> N<sup>^</sup> C<sup>^</sup> N] emitter, is described. When Pt-X-2 is used as a single emitter in an optimized CHIDEL device, a white OLED with tunable Commission International de I'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates from (0.47, 0.44) at 3 V to (0.36, 0.48) at 11 V, a high color rendering index of 82, and high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of up to 20.75% can be achieved. By using Pt-X-4 as a single emitter, the voltage-dependent color-tunable CHIDEL device, with CIE coordinates shifted from (0.56, 0.43) at 3 V to (0.42, 0.55) at 11 V, demonstrates a high luminance of beyond 90 000 cd m<sup>-2</sup> and a high EQE of 23.23% at a luminance of 1300 cd m<sup>-2</sup> . A long-lifetime time to 90% of the initial luminance (LT<sub>90</sub> ) of almost 20 000 h is demonstrated for the color-tunable OLED with Pt-X-4 emitting dopant.
