ABSTRACT:
An organic light emitting device is provided. The device includes an anode, an organic layer disposed over the anode, a layer comprising an alkaline metal compound disposed over the organic layer, a layer comprising Mg or a Mg-metal alloy disposed over the layer comprising an alkaline metal compound, and a layer comprising a transparent conductive metal oxide disposed over the layer comprising Mg or Mg-metal alloy. A method of fabricating an organic light emitting device is also provided. An organic layer is deposited over an anode. An electron injection enhancement layer consisting essentially of an alkaline metal compound is deposited over the organic layer. A transparent cathode, including a layer of Mg or Mg-metal alloy and a layer of metal oxide, is deposited over the layer of alkaline metal compound. A device fabricated by this process is also provided.
