Chiral band edge emission enhanced organic light emitting diode-based devices that emit multiple light wavelengths

Abstract

A light emitting device is described. The light emitting device includes a single light emitting photonic crystal having an electroluminescent material disposed in the single light emitting photonic crystal. The single light emitting photonic crystal includes a series of layers of chiral liquid crystalline polymer. The electroluminescent material is localized in one of the layers of chiral liquid crystalline polymer. At least one of the series of layers of chiral liquid crystalline polymer includes a chiral liquid crystalline, charge carrier transporting polymer. The single light emitting photonic crystal further includes a second luminescent material, where energy emanating from the electroluminescent material stimulates the second luminescent material into light emission, and the light emitted by the light emitting device is a mixture of light emitted by the electroluminescent material and light emitted by the second luminescent material.
