We realize high luminous efficiency (LE) in white polymer light-emitting devices by employing a wide bandgap polymer P36HCTPSi as host and introducing a blue–yellow two-color system for obtaining white emission. Phosphorescent dopants bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato-N, $C^2$ ]-(picolinato)iridium(III) (FIrpic) and iridium(III) bis(2-(9,9’-spirobi[fluorene]-7-yl)pyridine-N, $C^{2\prime }$ ) acetylacetonate [ $\mathrm{Ir}(\mathrm{SBFP}{)}_2$ (acac)] were used as blue and yellow emitters, respectively. Electroluminescent spectra and LE were both affected by $\mathrm{Ir}(\mathrm{SBFP}{)}_2$ (acac) concentration; the device with low concentration ( $0.4\text{wt}\mathrm{.}\%$ ) showed white emission with a LE of $24.1\mathrm{cd}/\mathrm{A}$ at $1000\mathrm{cd}/{\mathrm{m}}^2$ , while the one with high concentration ( $4\text{wt}\mathrm{.}\%$ ) emitted yellowish-white light with a higher LE of $47.3\mathrm{cd}/\mathrm{A}$ at $1000\mathrm{cd}/{\mathrm{m}}^2$ .
