We have synthesized new pure blue-emitting hyperbranched polyfluorene (Hyper-PDHF) through $A_2$ and $B_3$ type monomers via Suzuki coupling polymerization. The weight-average molecular weights ($M_w$) of the Hyper-PDHF was found about 35,000 with polydispersity index as 6.1. The UV absorption peak of the Hyper-PDHF film was at around 335 nm which was far blue shifted than that of linear PDHF film which was found at 380 nm. The pure blue photoluminescene (PL) peak of the Hyper-PDHF was measured at 419 nm as main emission with 397 and 444 nm as shoulder peaks. The Hyper-PDHF showed also higher PL quantum efficiency in solution than linear PDHF (Hyper-PDHF, $\Phi$sol =0.81; PDHF, $\Phi$sol=0.78). The annealed PDHF film (5 hrs on hot plate at $80^{\circ}C$) showed increased shoulder peak emissions and emission color was changed into the green emission. But, Hyper-PDHF film shows almost no excimer emission peak even the film was annealed. The enhanced PL efficiency and no excimer emission of Hyper-PDHF results from the inhibition of excimer formation by the introduction of the hyperbranched system into the polyfluorene backbone.

In this paper, multiheterostructure white organic light-emitting device was fabricated by vacuum evaporation. The structure of white organic light-emitting device is ITO/CuPc/TPD/DPBi:DPA/$Alq_3/Alq_3$:DCJTB/BCT/$Alq_3$/Ca/Al. Three primary colors are implemented with DPVBi, Alq$_3$and DCJTB. The maximum EL wavelength of the fabricated white organic light-emitting device is 647nm. And the CIE coordinate is (0.33, 0.33) at 13 V. In the fabrication of white organic light-emitting devices with DCJTB, $Alq_3$, DPVBi, the EL spectrum has two peaks at 492nm, 647nm. Two peaks appeared because the blue light is combined with green light. The maximum wavelength of red light is not changed with applied voltage. After voltage applied, for the first time, the electrons met the holes in the red emission layer and emitted red light. And then the electrons moved to the green emission layer, and blue emission layer continuously. Finally, when all of the emission layer activated, the white light is emitted.

To investigate the effect of two-emission-layer structure on the emission characteristics of the phosphorescent white organic light-emitting diodes (PHWOLEDs), the PHWOLEDs with two different emission layers, blue EML(29 nm, FIrpic-doped mCP) and red EML(1 nm, Ir(pq)$_2$acac-doped CBP)), following host-guest system were fabricated. The bi-layered blue EML was composed of mCP:FIrpic (20 nm, 7 vol.%) and mCP:FIrpic (9 nm, 7, 10, 15, 20, and 25 vol.%, respectively). When the concentration of FIrpic was increased from 7 to 15 vol.%, light emission luminance, current efficiency, and external quantum efficiency were increased. On the contrary, when the concentration of FIrpic was increased to more than 20 vol.%, light emission luminance, current efficiency, and external quantum efficiency were decreased. The PHWOLEDs with the bi-layered blue EML structure of mCP:FIrpic (20 nm, 7 vol.%) and mCP:FIrpic (9 nm, 15 vol.%) showed current efficiency of 29.7 cd/A and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 16.6% at 1,000 $cd/cm^2$.

Tandem white organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs) are fabricated by using a transparent interconnecting layer of Al:LiF composite/molybdenum oxides ($MoO_3$). We demonstrate two types of tandem WOLEDs consisting of two color emissions (red and blue emission) and three color emissions (red, green and blue emission). Tandem WOLED consisting of three color emission shows higher external quantum efficiency and current efficiency.

We have developed highly efficient blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (OLED) with simplified architectures using blue phosphorescent material. The basis device structure of the blue PHOLED was anode / emitting layer (EML) / electron transport layer (ETL) / cathode. The dopant was partially doped into the host layer for investigating recombination zone, current efficiency, and emission characteristics of the blue PHOLEDs.

We report the characterization of white light emitting devices fabricated using conjugated polymer blends. Blue emissive poly[9,9-bis(4'-n-octyloxyphenyl) fluorene-2,7-diyl-co-10-(2'-ethylhexyl)phenothiazine-3,7-diyl] [poly(BOPF-co-PTZ)] and red emissive poly(2-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-5-methoxy-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (MEH-PPV) were employed in the blends. The inefficient energy transfer between these blue and red light emitting polymers (previously deduced from the PL spectra of the blend films) enables the production of white light emission through control of the blend ratio. The PL and EL emission spectra of the blend systems were found to vary with the blend ratio. The EL devices were fabricated in the ITO/PEDOT/blend/LiF/Al configuration and white light emission was obtained for one of the tested blend ratios.

Zinc complexes with bis[2-(o-hydroxyphenyl) naphtol [1,2] oxazolato ligands (ZnPBO-4) and its derivatives (ZnPBO-S) were synthesized, and luminescent properties of these materials were investigated. Both the fluorescent emission band and electroluminescent emission band were discussed based on their ligand structure differences. The emission band found that it strongly depends on the molecular structure of introduced ligand. It was tuned from 446 nm to 491 nm by changing the ligand structures. Spreading of the ${\pi}$-conjugation in 2-(o-hydroxyphenyl) group gives rise to a blue shift. The EL properties also showed good consistency with their differences of ligand structure. Bright-blue EL emission with a maximum luminance of 3,100 $cd/m^2$ at 12V, current density, 575 $mA/m^2$ was obtained from the organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using ZnPBO-4 as emitting layer. It was also found that the newly synthesized materials were suitable to be used as emitting materials in organic EL device.

Deep blue organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) were fabricated using 5 wt.% doped BCzVBi with various blue host materials such as NPB, DPVBi, MADN and TPBi. A blue OLED device, using DPVBi as host material, was constructed via NPB ($500\;{\AA}$) / DPVBi:BCzVBi ($200\;{\AA}$) / Bphen ($300\;{\AA}$) / LiF ($20\;{\AA}$) / Al ($1,000\;{\AA}$) and it shows a maximum luminescence of $4,838\;cd/m^2$, a current density of $32.7\;mA/cm^2$, a luminous efficiency of 3.3 cd/A and CIExy coordinates of (0.19, 0.15) at 4.5 V whereas the luminous efficiencies and CIExy coordinates of other blue OLEDs using NPB, MADN and TPBi as host materials have 1.1, 2.6 and 2.0 cd/A and (0.15, 0.11), (0.15, 0.10) and (0.15, 0.10), respectively. Energy transfer mechanisms between BCzVBi and its host materials were discussed with an energy band structure of host materials.

We fabricated white light-emitting organic electroluminescent device which have a mixed single emitting layer containing poly(N-vinylcarbazole)[PVK], tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum[Alq3] and poly(3-hexylthiophene)[P3HT] and investigated the emission properties of it. We expect to obtain a blue light from PVK, green light from Alq3 and red light from P3HT The fabricated device emits white light over 18V with slight orange light. We think that the energy transfer in a mixed layer occurred from PVK to $Alq_3$ and P3HT resulted in decreasing the blue light intensity from PVK. With mixing of N, N'-diphenyl-N, N'-(3-methylphenyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4, 4'-diamine[TPD], hole transport material, to the emitting layer, the luminance intensity of device was increased 50 times than that of the device which not contain TPD. We find that the efficiency of the white light electroluminescent device can be improved by injecting electron more effectively and blue light need to improve the color purity of white light.

Halide perovskites are emerging materials for next-generation display applications, thanks to their narrow emission linewidth and band gap tunability, capable of covering the entire range of visible light. Despite their short period of research, perovskite light emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have shown rapid progress in device external quantum efficiency (EQE) in the near-infrared (NIR), red, and green emission wavelengths, and the record EQE has exceeded over 20 %. However there has been limited progress with blue emission compared to the red and green counterparts. In this review, the current status and challenges of blue PeLEDs are introduced, and strategies to produce spectrally stable blue PeLEDs are discussed. The strategies include 1) a mixed halide system in the form of 3-dimensional (3D) perovskites, 2) colloidal perovskite nanocrystals and 3) low dimensional perovskites, known as quasi-2D perovskites. In the mixed halide system, previous reports based on the compositional engineering of 3D perovskites to reduce spectral instability (i.e., halide segregation) will be discussed. Since spectral instability issue originate from the mixed halide composition in perovskites, the two other strategies are based on enlarging the band gap with a single halide composition. Finally, the prospects for each strategy are discussed, for further improvement in spectrally stable blue PeLEDs.
