ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating an organic light emitting device is provided. A first organic layer is deposited over a first electrode. A second organic layer comprising a small molecule organic material is then deposited using solution processing over and in physical contact with the first organic layer, such that the first organic layer is insoluble in the solution used to deposit the second organic layer. A second electrode is then deposited over the second organic layer.
