Until very recently, the quantum efficiencies of polymer-based electrophosphorescent LEDs lacked well behind those of corresponding small-molecule LEDs. Here, we demonstrate that by (a) choosing appropriate preparation conditions of the active layer, (b) optimizing charge injection and (c) confining the charge carrier recombination zone, highly efficient dye-doped polymer electrophosphorescent devices can be achieved. With commercially available Ir-dyes, peak external quantum efficiencies are 19 % for green-emitting and 13 % for red-emitting phosphors. These values are comparable to the best efficiencies achieved with small molecule devices. Also, processes limiting the EQE in blue-emitting phosphorescent diodes based on PVK are evaluated with respect to triplet-confinement and exciton back transfer processes.
