1. An organic light emitting device comprising:
- a cathode;
a first emissive layer comprising a fluorescent blue emitting material as a dopant in a host material;
a spacer layer;
a second emissive layer comprising a phosphorescent emitting material as a dopant in a host material; and
an anode;
wherein, the spacer layer is between the first emissive layer and the second emissive layer, the spacer layer inhibits quenching of the triplet excitons in the second emissive layer;
an interface between the spacer layer and one of the first and second emissive layers forming a heterojunction; and
the spacer layer comprises a material that has a triplet energy that is higher than the triplet energy of the phosphorescent emitting material;
wherein one of the following is true;
(a) the second emissive layer comprises a phosphorescent green emitting material and a phosphorescent red emitting material;
(b) the second emissive layer comprises a phosphorescent green emitting material and the organic light emitting device further comprises a third emissive layer comprising a phosphorescent red emitting material;
or(c) the first emissive layer further comprising a fluorescent green emitting material; and
the second emissive layer comprising a phosphorescent red emitting material; and
wherein a combined emission of the emitting materials gives a white emission from the device.

Abstract
The present invention provides an emissive region in organic light emitting devices having a combined emission from at least two emissive materials, a fluorescent blue emissive material and a phosphorescent emissive material. The emissive region may further comprise additional fluorescent or phosphorescent emissive materials. Preferably, the emissive region has three different emissive materials—a red emissive material, a green emissive material and a blue emissive material. Organic light emitting devices incorporating the emissive region provides a high color-stability of the light emission over a wide range of currents or luminances.
