We demonstrate very high efficiency electrophosphorescence in organic light-emitting devices employing a phosphorescent molecule doped into a wide energy gap host. Using bis(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III) acetylacetonate [(ppy)(2)Ir(acac)] doped into 3-phenyl-4(1'-naphthyl)-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole, a maximum external quantum efficiency of (19.0 +/-1.0)% and luminous power efficiency of (60 +/-5) lm/W are achieved. The calculated internal quantum efficiency of (87 +/-7)% is supported by the observed absence of thermally activated nonradiative loss in the photoluminescent efficiency of (ppy)(2)Ir(acac). Thus, very high external quantum efficiencies are due to the nearly 100% internal phosphorescence efficiency of (ppy)(2)Ir(acac) coupled with balanced hole and electron injection, and triplet exciton confinement within the light-emitting layer.
