We report microcavity efficiency enhancement of organic electrolumines
cent devices based on the hole transporter bis(triphenyl) diamine and
the electron transporter and Light emitter tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) al
uminum. Microcavity organic light emitting diodes are described that e
mit four times the light measured in the forward direction (spectrally
integrated), or almost twice the total light (spectrally and spatiall
y integrated) of a noncavity organic light-emitting diode for identica
l electrical drive conditions. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
