Abstract

An organometallic complex that increases an energy band gap between HOMO and triplet MLCT states, and enables highly efficient phospholuminescence and can be used for an organic electroluminescent device. The organometallic complex, which is suitably used for forming an organic layer of the organic electroluminescent device, provides a luminescence maximum emission in the wavelength range of 400-650 nm, and induces white electroluminescence when combined with green or red luminescent materials.

Claims (10)

1. An organometallic complex selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by Formulas 15 through 35:

2. An organic electroluminescent device comprising an organic layer which comprises the organometallic complex of claim 1 .

3. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 2 , wherein the organometallic complex is doped to at least one selected from the group consisting of a polymer host, a mixture of a polymer host and a small molecular host, a small molecular host, and a non-luminous polymer matrix.

4. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 2 , wherein the organic layer further comprises a green electroluminescent material or a red electroluminescent material.

5. An organic electroluminescent device, comprising:

an anode;

a cathode; and

an organic layer between said anode and said cathode, said organic layer comprising an organometallic complex represented by one of Formulas 15 through 35:

6. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 5 , wherein the organometallic complex is doped to at least one selected from the group consisting of a polymer host, a mixture of a polymer host and a small molecular host, a small molecular host, and non-luminous polymer matrix.

7. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 5 , wherein the organic layer further comprises at least one of a green electroluminescent material and a red electroluminescent material.
