A tandem white organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) composed of blue and orange emitting units interconnected by a charge‐generation unit (CGU) in which both electrons and holes are efficiently generated is presented. On page 855 , Jang‐Joo Kim and co‐workers analyze the charge generation mechanism of the CGU composed of p‐doped hole‐transporting layer (HTL)/1,4,5,8,9,11‐hexaazatriphenylene hexacarbonitrile (HATCN)/n‐doped electron‐transporting layer (ETL). The energy level alignment shows that the electron injection at the HATCN/n‐ETL junction limits the charge generation in the CGU.
