  • Patent number: 6242115
    Abstract: Organic light emitting devices are comprised of an organic charge carrier layer formed from a charge carrier material that is capable of forming a stable glass due to the presence of a compound having an asymmetric molecular structure in the charge carrier material. For example, the OLED may contain hole transporting layers comprised of compounds having an asymmetric molecular structure in which hole transporting substituents are asymmetrically located around a core atom or core chemical group. The core atom may be a nitrogen atom or the core chemical group may be comprised of a single phenylene group or a biphenylene group which is substituted with at least two hole transporting amine groups, wherein at least one of the amine groups is different from at least one other amine group.
