Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) with improved external quantum efficiency (EQE) and/or lower operating voltage, comprising an electron transport layer stack with at least two electron transport layers. The first electron transport layer contains a first organic aromatic matrix compound with a molecular weight of 400-1000 g/mol and a dipole moment of 0-2.5 D. The second electron transport layer contains a polar organic aromatic phosphine compound with a molecular weight of 400-1000 g/mol and a dipole moment of >2.5 D. The layers are contacting sandwiched between the emission layer and cathode electrode.
