    Abstract:

    Blue and green organic light-emitting devices with a structure of indium tin oxide (ITO)/N,N'-bis-(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-1,1 '-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPB)/aluminum(Ⅲ) bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinato)4 -phenylphenolato (BAlq)/tris(8-hydroxyquinolate)-aluminum (Alq3)/Mg:Ag have been fabricated. Blue to green light emission has been achieved with the change of organic film thickness. Based on energy band diagram and charge carrier tunneling theory, it is concluded that the films of different thicknesses play a role as a color-tuning layer and the color-variable electroluminescence (EL) is ascribed to the modulation function within the charge carrier recombination zone. In the case of heterostructure devices with high performance, the observed EL spectra varies significantly with the thickness of organic films, which is resulted from the shift of recombination region site. It has not been hitherto indicated that the devices compose of identical components could be implemented to realize different color emission by changing the film thickness of functional layers.
