Abstract: Provided are organometallic compounds including a ligand LA of the following Formula I Also provided are formulations including these organometallic compounds. Further provided are OLEDs and related consumer products that utilize these organometallic compounds.

Abstract: A compound having a carbene ligand LA of Formula I: is disclosed wherein ring A is a 5-membered or 6-membered carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring; Z is nitrogen or carbon; R7 represents from mono-substitution to the possible maximum number of substitution, or no substitution; R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium, halide, alkyl, cycloalkyl, heteroalkyl, arylalkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, amino, silyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, heteroalkenyl, alkynl, aryl, heteroaryl, acyl, carbonyl, carboxylic acids, ester, nitrite, isonitrile, sulfanyl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl, phosphino, and combinations thereof; any adjacent substituents of R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7 are optionally joined or fused into a ring or a double bond; the ligand LA is coordinated to a metal M through the carbene carbon and Z; and the ligand LA is optionally linked with other ligands to comprise a tridentate, tetradentate, pentadentate or hexadentate ligand.

Abstract: A transparent emissive device is provided. The device may include one or more OLEDs having an anode, a cathode, and an organic emissive layer disposed between the anode and the cathode. In some configurations, the OLEDs may be non-transparent. The device may also include one or more locally transparent regions, which, in combination with the non-transparent OLEDs, provides an overall device transparency of 5% or more.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an organic light emitting device is provided. A first organic layer is deposited over a first electrode. A second organic layer comprising a small molecule organic material is then deposited using solution processing over and in physical contact with the first organic layer, such that the first organic layer is insoluble in the solution used to deposit the second organic layer. A second electrode is then deposited over the second organic layer.
