Abstract: An OLED device comprising a cathode, an anode, and having therebetween a light emitting layer and an electron-injecting layer, where (a) the light emitting layer contains a host and up to 50 volume % of a light-emitting fluoranthene compound with a 7,10-diaryl substituted fluoranthene nucleus having no aromatic rings annulated to the fluoranthene nucleus; and (b) the electron-injecting layer being located between the cathode and the light-emitting layer contains an organic alkali metal compound. It provides reduced drive voltage, operational stability and luminance of OLED devices.

Abstract: An electroluminescent device including a transparent substrate, a securing layer, a light scattering layer, an electroluminescent unit including a transparent electrode layer, a light emitting element including at least one light emitting layer, and a reflecting electrode layer in that order, wherein the light scattering layer includes one monolayer of inorganic particles having an index of refraction larger than that of the light emitting layer and wherein the securing layer holds the inorganic particles in the light scattering layer.
