  • Patent number: 8580392
    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.

  • Patent number: 8552644
    Abstract: Presented an organic light-emitting device (OLED) that includes at least one active region, at least one organic layer, a first glass plate on which the at least one active region is applied, and a second glass plate. The active region is disposed between the first and the second glass plates. The first and second glass plates are at least partially transparent in the near infrared spectral range. The OLED further includes a bonding material that includes a solder glass and is disposed between the first and second glass plates. The bonding material forms at least one frame that surrounds the active region and mechanically connects the first glass plate with the second glass plate and seals the active region. The bonding material absorbs near infrared radiation. The OLED further includes spacer particles that have a mean diameter that maintains a height between the first and second glass plates.
