  • Publication number: 20180145274
    Abstract: The invention relates to an organic emitter layer (100) having organic emitter molecules (1), each of which has at least one excited triplet state (SE1) and at least one excited singlet state (TE1). The emitter layer (100) comprises an organic matrix material (10) with first matrix molecules (2), the first matrix molecules (2) having at least one excited triplet state (TA1) and at least one excited singlet state (SA1). The emitter molecules (1) are embedded into the matrix material (10). During the operation of the emitter layer (100), the triplet states and the singlet states of the first matrix molecules (2) are excited, and the excitation energy is then transferred to the emitter molecules such that the singlet states are excited in the emitter molecules. A transition occurs from the singlet states of the emitter molecules (1) into the base state (SE0), thereby at least partially emitting electromagnetic radiation.
