1. A device comprising:
- a first electrode;
a second electrode;
a third electrode;
a first organic emissive layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and
a second organic emissive layer disposed between the second electrode and the third electrode;
wherein;
the first electrode and the second electrode define a microcavity, said microcavity shifting the CIE coordinates of the emission of the first organic emissive layer such that the device emits light having a CIE of (0.33±
0.05, 0.33±
0.05);
there are no electrodes between the first electrode and the second electrode;
the second electrode and the third electrode define a standard OLED;
the first organic emissive layer comprising a single first emissive material that emits in a first wavelength region, and the second organic emissive layer comprising a single second emissive material that emits in a second wavelength region, the first wavelength region being shorter than the second wavelength region; and
the combination of the unshifted emission spectrum of the first emissive layer and the emission spectrum of the second emissive layers does not result in emitted light having a CIE of (0.33±
0.05, 0.33±
0.05).

Abstract
The present invention provides OLEDs incorporating microcavities. By combining a microcavity with a non-microcavity emissive layer, improved saturation and luminance may be achieved. OLEDs incorporating microcavities according to the invention may be used to produce white light, and as sub-pixels in full-color displays.
