Abstract

An electroluminescent element is disclosed, comprising an electroluminescent material and a fluorescent substance emitting light having an emission maximum at the wavelength different from that of light emitted from the electroluminescent material upon absorption of the light emitted from the electroluminescent material. A color conversion filter is also disclosed, comprising a fluorescent substance emitting light having an emission maximum at the wavelengths of 400 to 700 nm upon absorption of the light emitted from the electroluminescent material.

Claims (17)

1. An electroluminescent material represented by the following Formula B1:

wherein Ar 41 and Ar 42 are each independently an aryl group or an aromatic heterocyclic group; L 11 , L 12 and L 13 is each an atom or a group of atoms necessary to form an aromatic 5-membered heterocyclic ring, provided that at least one of L 11 , L 12 and L 13 is ═N—, —N(R 41 )—, —S— or —O—, in which R 41 is a hydrogen atom or a substituent, provided that at least two of Ar 41 , Ar 42 and R 41 are each a biaryl group having a bond capable of giving an internal rotational isomerism or a group comprising the biaryl group, provided that adjacent substituent groups existing in the molecule represented by formula B1 may be condensed with each other to form a ring.

2. An electroluminescence element comprising an electroluminescence material and an inorganic fluorescent substance capable of emitting light having a wavelength of a maximum emission different from that of light emitted from the electroluminescent material upon absorption of the light emitted from the electroluminescent material, and the electroluminescent material is a compound represented by the following formula B1:

wherein Ar 41 and Ar 42 are each independently an aryl group or an aromatic heterocyclic group; L 11 , L 12 and L 13 is each an atom or a group of atoms necessary to form an aromatic 5-membered heterocyclic ring, provided that at least one of L 11 , L 12 and R 13 is ═N—, —N(R 41 )—, —S— or —O—, in which R 41 is a hydrogen atom or a substituent, provided that at least two of Ar 41 , Ar 42 and R 41 are each a biaryl group having a bond capable of giving an internal rotational isomerism or a group comprising the biaryl group, provided that adjacent substituent groups existing in the molecule represented by formula B1 may be condensed with each other to form a ring.

3. The electroluminescent element of claim 2 , wherein said inorganic fluorescent substance is an inorganic fluorescent substance prepared by a Sol-Gel method.
