This paper discusses the latest developments towards a commercial blue phosphorescent organic light emitting device (PHOLED™) technology. Progress towards achieving a high efficiency, long‐lived saturated blue PHOLED is discussed. First, a high efficiency (20% EQE, 45 cd/A), light blue (0.17, 0.39) PHOLED is presented. Next, long‐lived blue PHOLEDs having chromaticity co‐ordinates (0.17, 0.38) and (0.16, 0.29) are estimated to degrade to half their initial luminance of 200cd/m 2 after >100,000 hrs and 17,500 hrs, respectively. Finally, results from PHOLEDs designed to increase blue color saturation and lifetime are presented.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/92011/1/1.2433213.pd
