Abstract:
A device is provided, having an anode, a cathode, and a first organic layer disposed between the anode and the cathode. The first organic layer produces phosphorescent emission when a voltage is applied between the anode and the cathode. An organic enhancement layer disposed between the first organic layer and the cathode is also provided. The organic enhancement layer is in direct contact with the first organic layer. The organic enhancement layer may comprise a material of structure (I): The material of structure I is thermally stable and is a high energy band gap material.
Abstract:
Novel heteroleptic iridium complexes are disclosed. The complexes contain a phenyl pyridine ligand and another ligand containing a dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene, dibenzoselenophene, or carbazole linked to an imidazole or benzimidazole fragment. These complexes are useful materials when incorporated into OLED devices.
Abstract:
Novel heteroleptic iridium carbene complexes are provided. The complexes have lower-than expected sublimation temperatures, which is beneficial for the processing of these materials in solid state applications. Selective substitution of the ligands provides for phosphorescent compounds that are suitable for use in a variety of OLED devices. The carbene complexes can also be used as materials in a hole blocking layer and/or an electron transport layer to improve device performance.
Abstract:
Compounds comprising the formula L1L2MX wherein L1, L2, and X are distinct bidentate ligands that form an octahedral complex on the metal M, wherein M is a metal with an atomic weight greater than 40. Compounds of this formula are sublimated more facilely than octahedral metal complexes where L1, L2, and X are not distinct bidentate ligands. Organic light emitting devices are also described wherein the emissive layer may comprise a host material containing an emissive molecule of formula L1L2MX, 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 iridium complexes of the formula L1L2IrX wherein L1, L2, and X are distinct bidentate ligands.
Abstract:
A new class of compounds containing aza-dibenzothiophene or aza-dibenzofuran are provided. The compounds may be used in organic light emitting devices giving improved stability, improved efficiency, long lifetime and low operational voltage. In particular, the compounds may be used as the host material of an emissive layer having a host and an emissive dopant, or as a material in an enhancement layer.
Abstract:
Compounds that have agonist activity at one or more of the S1P receptors are provided. The compounds are sphingosine analogs that, after phosphorylation, can behave as agonists at S1P receptors.

Abstract:
Compounds are provided that comprise a ligand having a 5-substituted 2-phenylquinoline. In particular, the 2-phenylquinoline may be substituted with a bulky alkyl at the 5-position. These compounds may be used in organic light emitting devices, in particular as red emitters in the emissive layer of such devices, to provide devices having improved properties.
Abstract:
Organometallic compounds comprising a phenylquinoline or phenylisoquinoline ligand having the quinoline or isoquinoline linked to the phenyl ring of the phenylquinoline or phenylisoquinoline, respectively, via two carbon atoms. These compounds also comprise a substituent other than hydrogen and deuterium on the quinoline, isoquinoline or linker. These compounds may be used as red emitters in phosphorescent OLEDs. In particular, these compounds may provide stable, narrow and efficient red emission.
