Reducing angular dependency in microcavity color OLEDs

A microcavity color OLED device, comprising:

• a) at least one light-emitting layer arranged so as to produce light;
• b) a reflector and a semi-transparent reflector forming a microcavity structure for resonating the light produced in the at least one light emitting layer;
• and
• c) a color filter element disposed over the microcavity structure including a selective light-absorbing material, a light-scattering material separate from the selective light-absorbing material or part of the selective light-absorbing material or both and selected so as to reduce the angular dependence of the light that has passed through the color filter element.

A full color OLED device having an array of pixels which include different subpixels that emit different color light and wherein each subpixel comprises:

• a) at least one light emitting layer arranged to produce light, wherein the light produced by each subpixel is a different color;
• b) a reflector and a semi-transparent reflector forming a microcavity structure for resonating the light produced in the at least one light emitting layer;
• and
• c) a color filter element disposed over the microcavity structure including a selective light-absorbing material, a light scattering material separate from the selective light-absorbing material or part of the selective light-absorbing material or both and selected so as to reduce the angular dependence of the light that has passed through the color filter element.
