In a film stack of bathocuproine (BCP) (electron transport layer), fac ‐tris(2‐phenylpyridyl)iridium(III) [Ir(ppy) 3 ] blended in 4,4′‐bis( N ‐carbazolyl)biphenyl (CBP) (light‐emitting layer), and 4,4′,4″‐tris( N ‐carbazolyl)triphenylamine (TCTA) (hole transport layer), the BCP and Ir(ppy) 3 :CBP layers rapidly interdiffuse by anomalous Fickian diffusion. Diffusion leads to a decrease of up to 33% in the solid‐state emission but no change in color.
