1. An organic light emitting device defining a viewer side and comprising:
- a first electrode;
a second electrode; and
a luminescent region including an organic electroluminescent material between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein one of the first electrode and the second electrode includes both a single substantially transparent charge injecting layer adjacent to the luminescent region and an electrically conductive light absorbing layer wherein the light absorbing layer is positioned farther from the viewer side than the luminescent region and the light absorbing layer overlays the charge injecting layer to absorb ambient light that passes through the charge injecting layer.
