Microdisplays based on organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have a small form factor, and this can be a great advantage when applied to augmented reality and virtual reality devices. In addition, a high-resolution microdisplay of 3000 ppi or more can be achieved when applying a white OLED structure and a color filter. However, low luminance is the weakness of an OLED-based microdisplay as compared with other microdisplay technologies. By applying a tandem structure consisting of two separate emission layers, the efficiency of the OLED device is increased, and higher luminance can be achieved. The efficiency and white spectrum of the OLED device are affected by the position of the emitting layer in the tandem structure and calculated via optical simulation. Each white OLED device with optimized efficiency is fabricated according to the position of the emitting layer, and red, green, and blue spectrum and efficiency are confirmed after passing through color filters. The optimized white OLED device with color filters reaches 97.8% of the National Television Standards Committee standard.

Efficient two-color-mixed white organic light-emitting diodes are presented herein by employing a sky-blue phosphorescent dopant of iridium(III)bis[4,6-(difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,$C^{2'}$]picolinate (FIrpic) and an orange phosphorescent dopant of bis(2-phenylquinoline)(acetylacetonate)iridium(III) ($Ir(phq)_2$acac) on the emissive layer. Very stable color variation under ${\Delta}$0.02 until a 5000 cd/$m^2$ brightness value was realized by efficient carrier control in a multi-stacked emitting layer of blue/red/blue colors. Maximum current and power efficiencies of 23.8 cd/A and 22.9 lm/W in the forward direction were obtained. With balanced emission from the two emitters, the white-light emission of high correlated color temperature of 7308K and the Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage coordinates of (0.30, 0.33) were achieved.

High efficiency white organic light emitting diodes were fabricated by using an alignment free mask patterning method. Only red/green emission without any blue emission was observed in the red/green patterned region and blue emission was emitted in other area. A combination of the red/green and blue emission gave a high efficiency white emission. A maximum current efficiency of 30.7 cd/A and a current efficiency of 25.9 cd/A at 1000 cd/$m^2$ were obtained with a color coordinate of (0.38, 0.45).

We fabricated white organic light emitting diodes(WOLED) having two complementary and three primary colors with emission layers of DPVBi / MADN : DCM2-0.5% and DPVBi / $Alq_3$ / MADN : DCM2-1.5%, respectively. WOLED using three primary colors shows broad electroluminescence including green emission peak at 510nm while optical properties of the two complementary WOLED was higher current efficiency of 6.2 cd/A than 4.9 cd/A of three primary color WOLED. The maximum luminescence of WOLED with two complimentary color was $15200cd/m^2$ along with luminous efficiency 6.2cd/A, as achieving stable white color coordinates for both of WOLEDs at (0.33 , 0.33) almost.

We have demonstrated efficient white WOLEDs by using three emissive materials for primary colors (red, green, and blue). The characteristics of WOLEDs showed the maximum luminance of $37600\;cd/m^2$ at 13V, the maximum luminous efficiency of 20.6 cd/A, and the $CIE_{xy}$ coordinates of (x = 0.33, y = 0.33) at 10V.

We have fabricated white organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using several thicknesses of electron-transport layer. The multi-emission layer structure doped with red and blue phosphorescent guest emitters was used for achieving white emission. 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP) was used as an electron-transport layer. The thickness of BCP layer was varied to be 20, 55, and 120 nm. The current efficiency, emission and recombination characteristics of multi-layer white OLEDs were investigated. The BCP layer thickness variation results in the shift of emission spectrum due to the recombination zone shift. As the BCP layer thickness increases, the recombination zone shifts toward the electron-transport layer/emission-layer interface. The white OLED with a 55 nm thick BCP layer exhibited a maximum current efficiency of 40.9 cd/A.

2-wavelength type white OLED devices have been made consisted of two layers; a layer with blue light emitting DPVBi host and other EML layer with yellow emitting rubrene dopant. New method to get white emitting device has been suggested by varying thicknesses of the DPVBi layer. The ITO/2-TNATA($150{\AA}$)/NPB($350{\AA}$)/DPVBi($35{\AA}$)/DPVBi:rubrene (2wt%,$200{\AA}$)/DPVBi($100{\AA}$)/Alq_3($50{\AA}$)/LiF($5{\AA}$)/Al($1000{\AA}$) structure has showed optimum results in CIE coordinates of (0.3233, 0.33). OLED devices with this structure has properties of $1.2d/m^2$ at turn-on voltage of 3.9V and $1037cd/m^2$ at 7.9V. This structure has advantages of simple fabrication and easy to emit the white color.

To obtain balanced white-emission and high efficiency of the organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), a deep blue emitter made of N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)- (1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine (NPB) emitter and a new red emitter made of the Bis(2,4 -dimethyl-8-quinolinolato)(triphenylsilanolato)aluminum(III) (24MeSAlq) doped with red fluorescent 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-tert-butyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4H -pyran (DCJTB) were used and the device was tuned by varying the thickness of the DCJTB-doped 24MeSAlq and $Alq_3$. For the white OLED with 10 nm thickness DCJTB (0.5%) doped 24MeSAlq and 45 nm thick $Alq_3$, the maximum luminance of about 29,700 $Cd/m^2$ could be obtained at 14.8 V. Also, Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of (0.32, 0.28) at about 100 $Cd/m^2$, which is very close to white light equi-energy point (0.33, 0.33), could be obtained.

High-efficiency white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) were fabricated with two emissive layers and a spacer was sandwiched between two phosphorescent dyes which were, bis(3,5-Difluoro-2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl-(2-carboxypyridyl) iridium III (FIrpic) as the blue emission and bis(5-acetyl-2-phenylpyridinato-N,C2') acetylacetonate $((acppy)_2Ir(acac))$ as the red emission. This spacer effectively prevented a triple-triple energy transfer between the two phosphorescent emissive layers with blue and red emission that was showed a improved lifetime. The white device showed Commission Internationale De L'Eclairage $(CIE_{x,y})$ coordinates of (0.33, 0.42) at $22400\;cd/m^2$, a maximum luminance of $27300\;cd/m^2\;at\;0.388\;mA/cm^2$, and a maximum luminous efficiency of 26.9 cd/A.

This paper reports that well-balanced white emission with three primary colors can be achieved with a simple white organic light-emitting diode (WOLED) structure of ITO / $\alpha$-NPD (50 nm) / $\alpha$-NPD: Btp2Ir(acac) (8 wt%, 6 nm) / $\alpha$-NPD (5 nm) / BCP (3 nm) / $Alq_3$: C545T (0.5 wt%, 10 nm) / $Alq_3$ (40 nm) / LiF (0.5 nm) / Al (100 nm). The external quantum efficiency of the device reached 3.8% at a current density (luminance) of 4.6 mA/$cm^2$ (310 cd/$m^2$), and the maximal luminance of the device reached 19,000 cd/$m^2$ at 11.5 V. The insignificant blue shift of the emitting color with an increasing current density can be attributed to the narrowing of the exciton formation zone width.
