A device is provided. The device includes a substrate, a first electrode disposed over the substrate, a small molecule organic emissive layer disposed over the first electrode, and a second electrode disposed over the organic emissive layer. The substrate has a first index of refraction, and the organic emissive layer has a second index or refraction. The first index of refraction is higher than the second index or refraction. The device may have an external electroluminescent efficiency of at least about 56%. Bulky substituents or dopants may be used to decrease the index of refraction and/or the density of the organic emissive layer. |
