Abstract:
The present invention provides an organic light emitting device comprising an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer disposed between the anode and the cathode, wherein the organic layer comprises a host material, an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, and a metal binding agent. In a preferred embodiment, the organic layer is an electron transport layer in which the metal binding agent may confine the alkali metal or the alkaline earth metal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to efficient organic light emitting devices (OLEDs). More specifically, the present invention relates to white-emitting OLEDs, or WOLEDs. The devices of the present invention employ two emitters in a single emissive region to sufficiently cover the visible spectrum. White emission is achieved from two emitters in a single emissive region through the formation of an aggregate by one of the emissive centers. This allows the construction of simple, bright and efficient WOLEDs that exhibit a high color rendering index.
