Abstract

An exciton-stimulated molecular transformation in an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) on a time scale of a few seconds under electrical bias is shown to reach nearly 100% under standard operating conditions, leading to color switching. It is reversible in both a thin film and an OLED when sufficient thermal energy is supplied. Such an exciton-stimulated molecular transformation suggests a new process which may be exploited for applications such as electrochromic and memory devices.
