White‐emitting organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) notoriously suffer from brightness‐dependent color shifts. Based on experimental data and fundamental considerations about charge‐transport and trapping, a quantitative model is developed which gives insight into the origin of this shift and describes the experimental data extremely well. Having understood the major contribution to the spectral instability, a device architecture is designed that shows excellent color stability over a wide range of brightness levels.

A pentathiophene-based swivel cruciform, which allows rotation between the cruciform arms, was synthesized. Homogeneous microcrystalline films were processed from solution, and field-effect transistors utilizing this dimer gave hole mobilities up to 0.012 cm2/V.s.
