The external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of fluorescent light emitting devices are drastically improved by optimizing the charge balance. When N , N ′‐di(naphthalene‐1‐yl)‐ N , N ′‐diphenylbenzidine (NPD) is used as a hole‐transporting layer (HTL) and Alq 3 as an electron‐transporting layer (ETL) with the green dopant 2,3,6,7‐tetrahydro‐1,1,7,7‐tetramethyl‐1 H ,5 H ,11 H ‐10‐(2‐benzothiazolyl)quinolizino‐[9,9a,1gh]coumarin (C545T), the EQE is observed to be approximately 3%. However, when the HTL and ETL materials are optimized, a 7.5% external quantum efficiency (EQE) in a green‐emitting device and an 8.2% EQE in a blue‐emitting device are achieved at 100 cd m −2 .
