A donor element adapted for use in making an OLED device, includes a donor support
substrate; a light-absorbing layer disposed over the substrate which, in response
to light, produces heat; an emissive layer disposed over the light-absorbing layer;
and a hole-transporting layer disposed over the emissive layer such that when the
donor element is positioned in a transfer relationship with the OLED device and
when light is absorbed by the light-absorbing layer, heat is produced that causes
the vaporization transfer across a gap, of hole-transporting materials and emissive
materials to the OLED device.
