Abstract

A light-emitting structure maximizes constructive interference for light emission by adjusting charge carrier mobilities of different sub-pixel emissive layers such that charge recombination occurs at a boundary of each emissive layer and one of the charge transport layers. The light-emitting layer structure includes two electrode layers that respectively generate first and second charges that are carried via first and second charge transport layers, and a plurality of emissive layers (EMLs) including a first EML having a first charge mobility favoring the first charges and a second EML having a second charge mobility favoring second charges. The first EML emits light by recombination of the first and second charges at a first boundary layer formed at one of the charge transport layers and the first EML, and the second EML emits light by recombination of the first and second charges at a second boundary layer formed at the other of the charge transport layers and the second EML.
