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.

We studied the emission characteristics of white phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs), which were fabricated using a two-wavelength method. To optimize emission characteristics of white PHOLEDs, white PHOLEDs with red/blue, blue/red and red/blue/red emitting layer (EML) structures were fabricated using a host-dopant system. In case of white PHOLEDs with red/blue structure, the best efficiency was obtained at a structure of red (15 nm)/blue (15 nm). But the emission color was blue-shifted white. In case of white PHOLEDs with blue/red structure, the better color purity and efficiency were observed at a blue (29 nm)/red (1 nm) structure. For additional improvement of color purity in white PHOLEDs with blue (29 nm)/red (1 nm) EMLs, we fabricated white PHOLEDs with red (1 nm)/blue (28 nm)/red (1 nm) structure. The current efficiency, external quantum efficiency, and CIE (x, y) coordinate were 27.2 cd/A, 15.1%, and (0.382, 0.369) at 1,000 $cd/m^2$, respectively.
