International Classification:

H05B 3312

US Classification:

428690, 428917, 313504, 313506

Abstract:

An organic light emitting device comprising a heterostructure for producing electro-luminescence. The heterostructure has a charge carrier layer that includes a compound having molecules having at least one electron transporting moiety that is a 2-methyl-8-quinolinolato ligand coordinated with a metal chosen from the group Al, Ga, and In, and at least one hole transporting moiety. For example, the compound may be bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinolato)[p-(N-phenyl-2-naphthylamino)phenolato]aluminum(III), bis(2-methyl-g-quinolinolato)p-carbazolphenolato)aluminum(III), or bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinolato)(m-carbazolphenolato)aluminum(III).

US Classification:

428690, 428917, 313504, 313506, 257102

Abstract:

Organic light emitting devices are disclosed which are comprised of a heterostructure for producing electroluminescence wherein the heterostructure is comprised of an emissive layer containing a phosphorescent dopant compound. For example, the phosphorescent dopant compound may be comprised of platinum octaethylporphine (PtOEP), which is a compound having the chemical structure with the formula:.

International Classification:

H05B 3314

US Classification:

428690, 428917, 313504, 313506, 257102, 257103

Abstract:

Organic light emitting devices are described wherein the emissive layer comprises a host material containing an emissive molecule, which molecule is adapted to luminesce when a voltage is applied across the heterostructure, and the emissive molecule is selected from the group of phosphorescent organometallic complexes, including cyclometallated platinum, iridium and osmium complexes. The organic light emitting devices optionally contain an exciton blocking layer. Furthermore, improved electroluminescent efficiency in organic light emitting devices is obtained with an emitter layer comprising organometallic complexes of transition metals of formula L MX, wherein L and X are distinct bidentate ligands. Compounds of this formula can be synthesized more facilely than in previous approaches and synthetic options allow insertion of fluorescent molecules into a phosphorescent complex, ligands to fine tune the color of emission, and ligands to trap carriers.
