  • Publication number: 20250133896
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide a device including a plasmonic phosphorescent organic light emitting device (PHOLED) having an anode and a cathode having a thickness of about 5-100 nm. An emissive stack is disposed between the anode and the cathode and configured to produce excitons, and having a phosphorescent first emissive layer comprising an organic phosphorescent first emissive material. The device includes an enhancement layer comprising a plasmonic material exhibiting a surface plasmon resonance that non-radiatively couples to at least the organic phosphorescent first emissive material and transfers excited state energy from the first emissive material to non-radiative modes of the plasmonic material. The device is configured to generate less than 1° C. rise in Temp for every 2.26 mW/cm2 of operating power applied to the device.
