1. A first device, comprising:
- a pixel comprising;
a first subpixel comprising;
a first organic light emitting device comprising a first material that is an emitting material having a first emissive spectrum; and
a first triplet-triplet annihilation up conversion layer disposed adjacent to the first organic light emitting device such that light emitted by the organic light emitting device is incident on the first triplet-triplet annihilation up conversion layer, the first triplet-triplet annihilation up conversion layer comprising a first donor material and a first acceptor material, wherein the first donor material has an absorption spectrum that overlaps with the first emissive spectrum;
a second subpixel comprising a second organic light emitting device comprising a second material that is an emitting material having a second emissive spectrum with a peak wavelength of about 500 nm to about 600 nm; and
a third subpixel comprising a third organic light emitting device comprising a third material that is an emitting material having a third emissive spectrum with a peak wavelength of about 600 nm to about 700 nm.

Abstract
Novel devices comprising a layer including compounds that are capable of triplet triplet annihilation up conversion (TTA-UC). In particular, the up-conversion layer absorbs light emitted by the OLED device and emits up-converted light with shorter wavelength in response. These devices may be used to provide improved lifetime for blue emitting devices.
