Abstract: An OLED device comprises a cathode, an electron-transporting layer (ETL), a light-emitting layer (LEL) containing a fluorescent light-emitting material, a hole-transporting layer (HTL), and an anode, in that order, wherein the ETL comprises a mixture of compounds, including a first compound and at least one second compound, and wherein there is present a hole blocking layer (HBL) adjacent to the LEL on the cathode side. It provides a reduced drive voltage with comparable color hue. The first compound is present in an amount of 50% to 90% by volume and is represented by Formula (2): Wherein R1 and R4 represent the substituent and neither are hydrogen; R2 and R3 represent hydrogen; Ar1 and Ar4 represent the same aromatic group; and Ar2 and Ar3 represent the same aromatic group.

Abstract: A novel blocked photographically useful compound element and process are based on a new blocking group that comprises a beta-ketocarbonyl group that is part of a 5- to 7-member heterocyclic ring containing a hetero-atom not adjacent to the beta-ketocarbonyl group. Such a blocked photographically useful compound provides a photographic material and process enabling more rapid release of the photographically useful group upon processing.

Abstract: An acid zinc electroplating bath and bright zinc plating process employing said bath which contains an effective amount of a controlled mixture of brightening agents including a bath soluble polyacrylamide polymer and N-substituted polyacrylamide derivatives thereof as well as copolymers thereof as a primary brightener in combination with a secondary brightener comprising boric acid and Group I and II metal salts thereof and/or thiourea and N-substituted derivatives thereof as well as selected adducts thereof. The acid zinc electroplating bath incorporating the mixture of primary and secondary brightening agents is economical and versatile in use and produces a ductile plating deposit having a lustrous appearance.
