An organic electronic device to emit or receive radiation includes a cathode, a first layer including a salt, a second layer including an active organic material, and an anode. A method to manufacture an organic electronic device to emit or receive radiation includes depositing a cathode, depositing a first layer including a salt adjacent the cathode, depositing a second layer including an active organic material adjacent the first layer, and depositing an anode adjacent the second layer. An organic electronic device for emitting or receiving radiation includes a cathode, a first layer including a salt, a second layer including an active organic material, and an anode, the anode being adapted to transmit a significant portion of the radiation to or from the second layer.
