Abstract

A white organic light-emitting diode includes two symmetric emission layers and a middle emission layer. The two symmetric emission layers emit a first color light with approximately the same frequency components. The middle emission layer is located between the two symmetric emission layers. The middle emission layer emits a second color light with frequency components different from main frequency components of the first color light. When the voltage applied to the organic light-emitting diode changes and leads to a decrease of luminescent intensity of one of the symmetric emission layers, the other symmetric emission layer automatically increases the luminescent intensity to compensate for the reduced light intensity.

Claims (14)

1. An white-light organic light-emitting diode sequentially having an anode, a luminescent vertical-stacked layer, and a cathode, wherein the luminescent vertical-stacked layer comprising:

two symmetric luminescent layers for generating a first color light;

a first central luminescent layer, interposed between the two symmetric luminescent layers, for generating a second color light, which is different from the first color light; and

a second central luminescent layer, interposed between the two symmetric luminescent layers, for generating a third color light, which is different from the first color light.

2. The white-light organic light-emitting diode of claim 1 , wherein when a voltage applied to the organic light-emitting device changes to cause decreasing luminescent intensity of one of the two symmetric luminescent luminescent layer, the luminescent intensity of the other of the two symmetric luminescent layer automatically increases to compensate for the decreased luminescent intensity of the one of the two symmetric luminescent luminescent layer.

3. The white-light organic light-emitting diode of claim 1 , wherein the two symmetric luminescent layers are made of the same material.

4. The white-light organic light-emitting diode of claim 1 , further comprising a hole transfer layer and an electron transfer layer arranged adjacent to two outer surfaces of the two symmetric luminescent layers, respectively.

5. An white-light organic light-emitting diode sequentially having an anode, a luminescent vertical-stacked layer, and a cathode, wherein the a luminescent vertical-stacked layer sequentially comprising:

a first luminescent layer for generating first component of a first color light;

a second luminescent layer for generating a second color light different from the first color light; and

a third luminescent layer for generating a second component of the first color light, when a voltage applied to the organic light-emitting device changes to cause decreasing luminescent intensity of the first luminescent layer, the luminescent intensity of the second luminescent layer automatically increases to compensate for the decreased luminescent intensity of the first luminescent layer.

6. The white-light organic light-emitting diode of claim 5 , wherein the first and the third luminescent layers are made of the same material.

7. The white-light organic light-emitting diode of claim 5 , further comprising a fourth luminescent layer interposed between the second luminescent layer and the third luminescent layer, wherein the fourth luminescent layer is configured to generate a third color light different from the first color light.

8. The white-light organic light-emitting diode of claim 5 , further comprising an electron transfer layer between the first luminescent layer and the anode, and a hole transfer layer between the third luminescent layer and the cathode.
