Abstract

An organic electroluminescent device with graded region is formed, which includes a hole transporting region formed of hole transporting organic material, an electron transporting region formed of electron transporting organic material, and a graduated region disseminated between the hole transporting region and the electron transporting region. The graduated region changes, either in steps or continuously, from hole transporting organic material adjacent the hole transporting region to electron transporting organic material adjacent the electron transporting region. Electrical contacts are formed in communication with the hole transporting region and the electron transporting region.
