Abstract

An organic light-emitting structure is described herein. The organic light emitting structure includes a first light-emitting unit, a second light-emitting unit, a third light-emitting unit, and a fourth light-emitting unit. An emission wavelength of the first light-emitting unit, an emission wavelength of the second light-emitting unit, an emission wavelength of the third light-emitting unit, and an emission wavelength of the fourth light-emitting unit successively increase. Each of a luminous efficiency of the second light-emitting unit, and a luminous efficiency of the third light-emitting unit is greater than each of a luminous efficiency of the first light-emitting unit and a luminous efficiency of the fourth light-emitting unit. The color gamut range of the organic light-emitting structure is increased, the color saturation of the light-emitting device is improved, and quantity of colors is increased, so that the development trend of color reproducibility for the display devices can be satisfied.
