Abstract:
A mixture contains a matrix material containing specified units; and a material which is capable of emission and which contains an element of atomic number above 20. A mixture contains (a) a matrix material containing units of formula C:Q where Q = a non-bonding electron pair comprising O, S, Se or N; and (b) a material which is capable of emission and which contains an element of atomic number above 20. An independent claim is also included for novel aromatic or heteroaromatic compounds of formulae (10a)-(15).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new material and a mixture of materials of an organic electronic component such as an electroluminescent element, and use thereof in a display based thereon.SOLUTION: The invention relates to a new mixture consisting of at least two materials, one material being used as a matrix material (for example, spirobifluorene represented by the figure) and the other as a material which is capable of emission and contains at least one element of an atomic number of 20 or larger. The mixture is used in the organic electronic component such as an electroluminescent element and a display.
