Organic electroluminescent device having a high contrast ratio

Abstract

A high contrast organic electroluminescent device has a transparent substrate, a transparent electrode layer, a metallic electrode layer, and an organic interlayer disposed between and in close contact with the electrode layers, the organic interlayer being comprised of an organic luminescent layer, an optional hole transport layer and an optional electron transport layer, wherein a dark conductive metal alloy layer is inserted between the organic interlayer and the metallic electrode layer.
