ABSTRACT:
An organic light emitting device is provided. The devices of the present invention comprise an emissive region having at least two emissive layers, with at least one layer comprising a first host and another layer comprising a first and a second host, and each layer further comprising a phosphorescent emissive material. In one embodiment, the device comprises an emissive region disposed between and electrically connected to an anode and a cathode, wherein the emissive region comprises (i) a first single-host emissive layer, comprising a first host material, and (ii) a mixed-host emissive layer in direct contact with the first single-host layer, wherein the mixed-host layer comprises the first host material, and a second host material, and wherein the first single-host layer and the mixed-host layer each further comprise a phosphorescent emissive material. In another embodiment, the device further comprises (iii) a second single-host emissive layer, comprising a second host material, and wherein the first single-host layer, the mixed-host layer, and the second single-host layer each further comprise a phosphorescent emissive material.
