  • Publication number: 20150200374
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel metal-organic materials for hole injection layers in organic electronic components. For example, in light-emitting components such as organic light diodes (OLED) or organic light-emitting electrochemical cells (OLEEC) or organic field effect transistors or organic solar cells or organic photo detectors. Luminescence (cd/m2), efficiency (cd/A), and service life (h) of organic electronic components such as from organic light diodes in particular are highly dependent on the exciton thickness in the light-emitting layer and on the quality of the charge carrier injection and are also limited by same, among other things. The invention relates to a hole injection layer consisting of quadratic planar mononuclear transition metal complexes such as copper 2+ complexes, for example, which are embedded into a hole-conducting matrix.

  • 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.
