  • Publication number: 20120037888
    Abstract: A radiation-emitting device comprising a substrate, a first electrode and a second electrode, and an emitter layer arranged between the first and second electrode. The emitter layer here comprises a matrix material, 0.5-5% by weight of a radiation emitting emitter and 5-30% by weight of a phosphorescent exciton scavenger. The proportion by weight of the exciton scavenger here is higher than that of the radiation emitting emitter, and the emission maximum of the exciton scavenger is at a shorter wavelength than that of the radiation emitting emitter. In addition, the radiation-emitting device is characterized in that the current efficiency of the emitter layer is increased by at least 10% compared to the current efficiency of an emitter layer without exciton scavenger.

  • Publication number: 20090289544
    Abstract: The invention relates to an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) having an improved lifetime and improved transport of negative charge carriers. The organic light-emitting diode is based on an organic semiconductor material, in which the transport of negative charge carriers and stability with respect to reduction is achieved with triarylated Lewis acid units, in particular perarylated borane units. This leads to an improved lifetime of the emission layer which in turn increases the lifetime of the component and eliminates the need for correcting brightness during operation. Furthermore, the invention relates to organic light-emitting diodes in which the position of the emission zone in the emitter layer and the color of the emission can be influenced in a targeted manner through triarylated Lewis acids such as perarylated borane units.

  • Publication number: 20090001873
    Abstract: An organic light emitting diode (OLED) having an improved service life and improved transport of negative charge carriers. The organic light emitting diode based on an organic semiconductor material in which the transport of negative charge carriers and the stability with respect to reduction are determined by azahetarylene/Lewis acid complex units. This leads to an improved service life of the emission layer, which firstly increases the service life of the component and avoids readjustment of the brightness during operation. Organic light emitting diodes are disclosed in which the position of the emission zone in the emitter layer and the color of the emission can be specifically influenced by azahetarylene/Lewis acid complex units.
