Abstract
OLEDs for lighting became of high relevance, although challenges in the uniformity and thermal effects. In this work, White-OLEDs with 16 cm(2) emitting area was made with wide color temperature range (3200 K to 10500K) and color rendering index near 90. The CIE coordinates are stable with applied voltage. Thermal images shows 60 degrees C in the center decreasing to 35 degrees C at the border. This effect was study by a scalar electro-thermal model, considering the substrate, electrodes and organic layers. The thermal changing ratio in the series resistance and forward voltage obtained was of 70 m Omega/ degrees C and -10 mV/ degrees C respectively.
