  • Patent number: 7351481
    Abstract: The present invention is related to an imidazole ring-containing compound and an organic electroluminescence (EL) display device using the same. In particular, the imidazole ring-containing compound may be used alone or in combination with a dopant as a material for organic films such as an electroluminescent layer. The organic EL display device using an organic film made of the imidazole ring-containing compound has improved characteristics such as luminance, efficiency, driving voltage, and color purity.

  • Patent number: 7279702
    Abstract: The electronic device of the invention comprises one or more active elements, each comprising a first and a second electrode and an active layer of organic material separating the first and second electrodes. Examples of active elements are thin-film transistors and light-emitting diodes. The active layer comprises a polymeric material having conjugated units A and non-conjugated intermediate units B, which intermediate units B separate the conjugated units A from each other, such that no conjugation extends from a first conjugated unit A1 to a second conjugated unit A2. The polymeric material may be a polymer network, an alternating copolymer or a polymer in which the conjugated units are present in side chains. The polymer can be prepared from monomers having a B1-A1-B2 structure, wherein at least one of B1 and B2 comprises a reactive group enabling polymerization.

  • Publication number: 20070221910
    Abstract: An intermediate layer (11) comprises a basic material such as a conductive polymer that taken alone still absorbs some light. Combined with colloidal particles (12) the intermediate layer (11) becomes almost fully transparent. An electroluminescent arrangement with an intermediate layer (11) that is almost fully transparent because of colloidal particle (12) comprised therein has an increased efficiency and thus requires less energy for the same luminescent properties.
