  • Patent number: 5150006
    Abstract: An internal junction organic electroluminescent device is disclosed comprised of, in sequence, an anode, an organic hole injecting and transporting zone, an organic electron injecting and transporting zone, and a cathode. The organic electron injecting and transporting zone is comprised of an electron injecting layer in contact with the cathode and, interposed between the electron injecting layer and the organic hole injecting and transporting zone, a blue emitting luminescent layer comprised of an aluminum chelate containing a phenolato ligand and two R.sup.S -8-quinolinolato ligands, where R.sup.S substitutents are chosen to block the attachment of more than two substituted 8-quinolinolato ligands to the aluminum atom. The presence of the phenolato ligand shifts device emission to the blue region of the spectrum and increases emission efficiency.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5141671
    Abstract: A blue-emitting luminescent composition is disclosed comprised of an aluminum chelate containing a phenolato ligand and two R.sup.s -8-quinolinolato ligands, where R.sup.s substituents are chosen to block the attachment of more than two substituted 8-quinolinolato ligands to the aluminum atom. The presence of the phenolato ligand shifts emission to the blue region of the spectrum. Emission can be shifted to even shorter blue wavelengths by the incorporation of a pentacarbocyclic aromatic fluorescent dye.

  • Patent number: 4568633
    Abstract: A process for obtaining highly stable color photographic images utilizes a silver halide photographic element comprising an essentially colorless, immobile compound which is capable of complexing with ferrous ions to form a dye. The complexing compound contains a complexing moiety which is represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein m is zero or a positive integer 1 to 3, n and p are independently 0 or 1 and represents a single or double bond. Z is R.sup.1 --N.dbd., O.dbd., S.dbd., R.sup.1 --P.dbd., (R.sup.1).sub.2 P-- or (R.sup.1).sub.3 P.dbd., and when Z is (R.sup.1).sub.2 P--, n is 1, otherwise n is 0. R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are independently hydrogen, amino, hydroxy, mercapto, alkoxy, alkyl, aryl or a heterocyclic moiety. When R.sup.6 is so defined, p is 1 and is a single bond. If m is 0, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, and R.sup.3 and R.sup.
