A white light emitting device having an anode and a cathode and therebetween an organic electroluminescent layer which emits white light on the provision of a current between the anode and the cathode, said organic electroluminescent layer including a plurality of electroluminescent zones in laterally separated arrangement, the first of said electroluminescent zones including a first polymer and the second of said electroluminescent zones including a second polymer, wherein the first polymer includes a fluorescent blue light emitting species and the second polymer includes a fluorescent green light emitting species, said first and/or second zones further including a phosphorescent red light emitting species, such that together with the blue emitting species results in the emission of white light, said first and second polymers being physically incompatible so that separation of the zones pertains.

Electroluminescence from a plurality of electroluminescent zones in a laterally separated arrangement

An organic electroluminescent device comprises an anode; a cathode; a first electroluminescent layer between the anode and the cathode comprising an electron transporting material; and a second electroluminescent layer between the first electroluminescent layer and the anode. The second electroluminescent layer comprises a hole transporting material and an electroluminescent electron trapping material. The first electroluminescent layer may comprises a polymer having an electron transporting material and an electroluminescent material, and may include an optionally electroluminescent hole-transporting material. The electron transporting material and one or both of the hole transporting material of the first electroluminescent layer and the electroluminescent material of the first electroluminescent layer are part of the same molecule or polymer. Preferably, the electron transporting material comprises a plurality of adjacent arylene repeat units.
