  • Patent number: 7851074
    Abstract: The new organic electroluminescent display device has a carrier-transporting layer and/or an organic luminous layer composed of a nematic liquid crystal or a liquid crystal dispersing a carrier-transporting low-molecule therein. When the organic luminous layer is to be bestowed with faculty as a liquid crystal, it is made of a nematic liquid crystal. Both the carrier-transporting layer and the organic luminous layer may be bestowed with faculty as a liquid crystal. Since the liquid crystal is incorporated in the carrier-transporting layer and/or the organic luminous layer, the display device can be driven as a liquid crystal display device in a dark place by charging with a voltage lower than a light emission initiating potential. Of course, it is driven as an electroluminescent display device when it is charged with a voltage higher than the light emission initiating potential. Use of an electroluminescent liquid crystal as a organic luminous layer enables omission of a carrier-transporting layer.

    Abstract: Provided are an organic light-emitting compound that is a diarylethene derivative represented by Formula 1, and an organic electroluminescent (EL) device using the organic light-emitting compound, and a method of manufacturing the organic EL device: where R1, Ar1, Ar2, Ar3, Ar4, Ar5, Ar6, k, l, m, and n are the same as defined in the specification. The organic light-emitting compound contains a cis-diarylethene group linked with an aliphatic ring, and thus crystallization of the organic light-emitting compound is unlikely to occur and the compound is highly soluble to organic solvents and easily provides liquid formulation with organic solvents. Thus, the organic light-emitting compound can easily be used in organic EL devices. An organic EL device manufactured using the compound can have a thermostable layer and thus has improved light-emitting properties in term of superior turn-on voltage, efficiency, color purity, etc.
