Abstract

A radiation-emitting device for emitting electromagnetic radiation which is a mixture of at least three different partial radiations of a first, a second and a third wavelength range. The radiation-emitting device here comprises a substrate; a first electrode and a second electrode, at least one first layer sequence arranged between the first and second electrodes comprising: at least one first layer with a first fluorescent emitter, which emits radiation in the first wavelength range, at least one second layer with a first phosphorescent emitter, which emits radiation in the second wavelength range; at least one second layer sequence arranged between the first and second electrodes comprising: at least one first layer with a second fluorescent emitter, which emits radiation in the first wavelength range, at least one second layer with a second phosphorescent emitter, which emits radiation in the third wavelength range, and at least one interlayer, which is free of emitter material and is arranged between the first and the second layer sequences.

Claims (23)

1. A radiation-emitting device for emitting cold white electromagnetic radiation comprising a mixture of at least three different partial radiations of a blue, a red, and a green wavelength range, the device comprising:

a substrate;

a first electrode and a second electrode;

at least one first layer sequence arranged between the first and second electrodes, the first layer sequence comprising:

at least one first layer with comprising a first fluorescent emitter to emit radiation in the blue wavelength range,

at least one second layer comprising a first phosphorescent emitter to emit radiation in the red wavelength range,

at least one third layer comprising a second fluorescent emitter, to emit radiation in the blue wavelength range,

wherein the second layer is between the at least one first layer and the at least one third layer;

at least one second layer sequence arranged between the first and second electrodes, the second layer sequence comprising:

at least one first layer comprising a third fluorescent emitter to emit radiation in the blue wavelength range, and

at least one second layer comprising a second phosphorescent emitter to emit radiation in the green wavelength rang, and

at least one third layer comprising a fourth fluorescent emitter to emit radiation in the blue wavelength range,

wherein the second layer is between the at least one first layer and the at least one third layer; and

blocking layers to selectively block singlet excitons, the blocking layers being arranged between the at least one first layer and the at least one second layer and between the at least one second layer and the at least one third layer of the first layer sequence, and between the at least one first layer and the at least one second layer and between the at least one second layer and the at least one third layer of the at least one second layer sequence,

at least one interlayer arranged between and the at least one first layer sequence and the at least one second layer sequence, the at least one interlayer, being free of emitter material that emits electromagnetic radiation in the visible range at the voltage applied during operation of the radiation-emitting device.

2. The radiation-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the interlayer is both hole- and electron-conducting.

3. The radiation-emitting device according to claim 2 , wherein the interlayer comprises a hole and electron-conducting organic layer, a metal layer and/or a metal oxide layer.

4. The radiation-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first layer of the at least one first layer sequence and the at least one first layer of the at least one second layer sequence are of identical structure and of identical composition.

5. A radiation-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the radiation-emitting device is an OLED.

6. A radiation-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the third layer of the first layer sequence is formed in a manner corresponding to that of the first layer of the first layer sequence.

7. A radiation-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the third layer of the second layer sequence is formed in a manner corresponding to that of the first layer of the second layer sequence.

8. A radiation-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the composition of the at least one third layer of the at least one first layer sequence and the composition of the at least one third layer of the at least one second layer sequence are the same.
