Abstract: White polymer light-emitting diodes (WPLEDs), which are seen as the next generation solid-state lighting source, have been developing greatly in the past two decades due to their potential applications in large-area flat panel displays and lighting field. In this paper, the domestic research progress of WPLEDs is introduced mainly from the device structure and the character of luminescent materials. The WPLEDs are classified into single white light-emitting devices and multi-layer light-emitting layer devices from the structure of the devices. Furthermore, from the character of the material, The WPLEDs are classified into fluorescent devices, phosphorescent devices, and single white emitting polymer devices. The strengths and weaknesses of WPLEDs are investigated in detail. Moreover, the commentary of opportunities and challenges of WPLEDs is also talked over in this paper.
