Popis: Single-emitting-layer hybrid white organic light-emitting diodes (SEL-hybrid-WOLEDs) are promising candidates for large-area lightings, however, ideal hybrid WOLEDs with a simple structure and high-efficiency, low roll-off, high color rendering index (CRI) and superior CIE coordinates have been rarely reported. In this paper, high-performance SEL-hybrid-WOLEDs are demonstrated by utilizing a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) host emitter combined with green and red phosphors. The optimized WOLED exhibits an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 20.2%, CIE coordinates of (0.360, 0.390) and a CRI of 85. Remarkably, an extremely low efficiency roll-off is also realized, with an EQE of 19.4% remained even at the practical luminance of 1000 cd/m 2 , resulting from the wide recombination zone as well as the well-tuned energy transfer in the emitting layer. Moreover, benefited from the stable recombination zone, superior color stability was also achieved. The intriguing results, we believe, greatly manifest the great potential of such a strategy and may pave the way towards real applications.
