Claims (49)

1. A method of manufacturing an organic light emitting device, the method comprising:

providing an anode and a cathode, and forming an organic layer between the anode and the cathode, wherein the forming the organic layer includes:

(a) heat-treating a first organic host compound and a second organic host compound together, and solidifying the heat-treated first and second organic host compounds through cooling to obtain a solidified host organic material, and

(b) dry coating the solidified organic host material and a dopant to form the organic layer, the dry coating including one or more of evaporation, sputtering, plasma plating, and ion plating,
