Abstract
Description
Background of the invention
[0001] In general, the present invention relates to methods of making multilayer phosphorescent organic light emitting devices and articles thereof.
[0002] An organic light emitting device (OLED) having a multilayer structure is generally preferred to achieve high performance and meet specific requirements such as white light required for lighting. Phosphorescent materials are desired in OLEDs because they can efficiently achieve 100% internal quantum efficiency (IQE), compared to 25% for fluorescent materials.
[0003] Current state of the art phosphorescent materials in the form of small molecules can be utilized. Small-molecule-based multilayer phosphorescent OLEDs are usually fabricated by vacuum-depositing organic materials, which suffers from high cost and low throughput.
[0004] Multilayer phosphorescent OLEDs fabricated by solvent coating such as gravure coating, screen printing, and other solvent coating methods are not described, alth...
