Abstract
What is disclosed is an organic electroluminescent device which produces a white output spectrum. A plurality of emissive layers, each emitting in a particular spectrum, are fabricated together in one device by cross-linking at least some the layers. One of the emissive layers has both an emissive and a non-emissive function.
