Abstract
A light-emitting layer structure that maximizes constructive interference for light emission by varying a phase shift introduced by reflective electrodes. The light-emitting layer structure includes a first and second optical cavity including a first and second reflective electrode; a first and second partially transparent electrode; and a first and second emissive layer (EML) disposed between the first and second reflective electrodes and the first and second partially transparent electrodes, wherein the first EML emits light having a first wavelength; wherein the first reflective electrode introduces a first phase shift, depending on the first wavelength, on reflection of light emitted by the first EML; and wherein the second EML emits light having a second wavelength and the second reflective electrode introduces a second phase shift, depending on the second wavelength, on reflection of light emitted by the second EML, and the first phase shift is different from the second phase shift.
