Abstract
An organic light emitting device having a cathode, an anode and an organic layer structure disposed between the cathode and the anode, the organic layer structure comprising a hole injection layer doped with a p-type dopant, a hole transport layer, an emissive layer and an electron transport layer doped with an n-type dopant, wherein all of the layers in the organic layer structure are substantially made from the same organic host material. In particular, the organic host material is a bipolar organic material such as a derivative of fused aromatic rings. The emissive layer can be doped with a fluorescent dye or a phosphorescent dye.
