Abstract: Disclosed is an OLED device comprising an anode and a cathode and located there-between a light emitting layer containing a light emitting dopant and a host comprising a monoanthracene derivative of formula (I): wherein R1-R8 are H; R9 is not the same as R10; R9 is a biphenyl group containing no fused rings with aliphatic carbon ring members; R10 is an ortho-substituted- or meta monosubstituted phenyl group; provided that R9 and R10 are free of amines and sulfur compounds.

Abstract: An organic vertical cavity laser light producing device includes a bottom dielectric stack reflective to light over a predetermined range of wavelengths; an organic active region for producing laser light, and having an organic active region including emissive material; and a top dielectric stack spaced from the bottom dielectric stack and reflective to light over a predetermined range of wavelengths. Pump-beam light is transmitted and introduced into the organic active region through at least one of the dielectric stacks. The organic active region includes one or more periodic gain region(s) and organic spacer layers disposed on either side of the periodic gain region(s) and arranged so that the periodic gain region(s) is aligned with the antinodes of the device's standing wave electromagnetic field, and wherein the spacer layers are substantially transparent to the laser light.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electroluminescent device having a cathode and an anode, an organic light emitting layer (LEL) containing at least one organic host material and a light emitting first dopant, and a layer containing a stabilizing second dopant wherein: a) the organic host material is capable of sustaining both hole and electron injection and recombination of electrons and holes; and b) the first dopant is a green light emitting organic material capable of accepting energy from the electron-hole recombination in the host material and of accepting energy transferred from the second dopant and is selected to have a bandgap energy lower than or equal to the bandgap energy of the second dopant material; c) the second dopant is a stabilizing material capable of accepting energy of electron-hole recombination in the host material, the second dopant being selected to have a bandgap energy lower than the bandgap energy of the host material, but higher or equal to the first dopant; wherein emissions from the first dopan

Abstract: Disclosed is an OLED device comprising a non-gallium host compound and a green light emitting dopant wherein the dopant comprises an N,N′-diarylquinacridone compound optionally containing on the two aryl groups and the quinacridone nucleus only substituent groups having Hammett's &sgr; constant values at least 0.05 more positive than that for a corresponding methyl group, such substituent groups including up to two substituent groups directly on the carbon members of the quinacridone nucleus, provided that said substituent groups do not form a ring fused to the five-ring quinacridone nucleus. Such a device exhibits improved stability, and at the same time, provides high efficiency and good color.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for forming a N,N′-diarylquinacridone compound comprising the step of reacting a 1,4-dialkylcarboxylate-2,5-bis(N -arylamino) benzene with an iodoaryl compound to form the corresponding 2,5 -bis(N-diarylamino) compound. The process is versatile and provides high yields and purity for the synthesis of N,N′-diarylquinacridone compounds.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for forming a N,N′-diarylquinacridone compound comprising the step of reacting a N,N′-unsubstituted quinacridone compound with a haloaryl compound in the presence of a metal or metal compound to arylate the N and N′ positions and form the corresponding N,N′-diarylquinacridone compound. The process is versatile and provides high yields and purity for the synthesis of N,N′-diarylquinacridone compounds.
