Abstract

An exemplary method for fabricating an OLED ( 20 ) is provided. The method includes: providing an insulative substrate; forming a first electrode on the substrate, the first electrode being a conductive thin film; forming a second electrode on the first electrode, comprising providing an oxygen-containing oxidizing gas with a material used to form the second electrode; patterning the first and second electrodes to form an anode on the substrate; forming a hole injection layer on the anode; forming a hole transfer layer on the hole injection layer; forming an organic light emitting layer on the hole transfer layer; forming an electron transfer layer on the organic light emitting layer; forming an electron injection layer on the electron transfer layer; and forming a cathode on the electron injection layer.
