  • Patent number: 7141312
    Abstract: The application relates to an organic electroluminescent device which contains 2,5 diaminoterephthalic acid derivatives of formula 1a as emitter substances in one or several emitter layers in a pure or doped manner. The ring A is a triple unsaturated benzene ring wherein R4? and R8? are equal to zero or ring A is a double unsaturated ring respectively provided with a double bond in the 1,2 position and 4,5-position, and wherein R10 is a nitrile radical —CN or a radical C(?X1)—X2R1; R11 is a nitrile radical —CN or a radical —C(?X3)—X4R5, X1 and X3 are oxygen, sulphur or imino, X2 and X4 are oxygen, sulphur or optionally substituted amino, R1 to R8, R4? and R8? are H, C1–C20-alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, R4 and R8 can also be halogen, nitro, cyanogen or amino, R2 to R4, R6–R8, R4? and R8? can also be trifluoromethyl or pentafluorophenyl, wherein certain radicals can form a saturated or unsaturated ring.

  • Patent number: 6869696
    Abstract: The invention concerns an electro-luminescent device in which the luminescent layer contains a compound of general formula I as doping agent or as luminescent compound, whereby the radicals R1 to R12 are identical or are different, and mean hydrogen, straight chain or branched C1-C6 alkyl, aralkyl, aryl or substituted aryl; R1 and R2 and/or R3 and R4 and/or R4 and R5 and/or R5 and R11 and/or R8 and R5 and/or R4 and R12 can form an alicyclic, heterocyclic or aromatic ring; R5 can furthermore be H, OH, OR9, N,N-di-(C1-C6) alkylamino, acetylamino or halogen; R6 and R7 together can form an alicyclic or heterocyclic ring; A1 and A2 are identical or different and are —CN, —NO2 or —COOR8; X is —CH, —CR11 or N; and Y is O, —NH, —NR12, S or Se. The doping agents together luminesce predominately red with very good quantum efficiency together with the luminescent compound as a function of concentration.
