Electroluminescent device with quinazoline complex emitter
View Patent ↗An OLED device comprises a cathode, an anode, and located therebetween a light-emitting layer containing a host material and a tris-C^N-cyclometallated complex of Ir or Rh wherein at least one of the ligands comprises a substituted quinazoline moiety. The device provides useful emission and stability attributes.
1. An OLED device comprising a cathode, an anode, and located therebetween a light-emitting layer containing a host material and a tris-C^N-cyclometallated complex represented by Formula (2d):
wherein:
each d 1 represents an independently selected substituent and s is 0-4;
each d 2 represents an independently selected substituent and t is 0-4; and
d 3 represents hydrogen or a substituent.
2. A tris-C^N-cyclometallated complex is represented by Formula (2d):
wherein:
each d 1 represents an independently selected substituent and s is 0-4;
each d 2 represents an independently selected substituent and t is 0-4; and
d 3 represents hydrogen or a substituent.
3. The device of claim 1 wherein the host material comprises an aluminum complex.
4. The device of claim 3 wherein the host comprises a material of Formula (4):
wherein:
each Ar a and each Ar b may be the same or different and each independently represents an aromatic group;
each R a and each R b may be the same or different and each independently represents a substituent group; and
n and m independently are 0-4.
5. The device of claim 1 wherein the host material comprises a material of Formula (3):
wherein:
M 1 represents Al or Ga;
R 2 through R 7 each independently represent hydrogen or a substituent group, and
L represents an aromatic group.
6. The device of claim 1 wherein the host comprises a triaryl amine.
7. The device of claim 1 wherein the host material comprises an aluminum complex and a triaryl amine.
8. The device of claim 1 wherein the host material comprises a carbazole biphenyl compound.
9. The device of claim 8 wherein the host material comprises 4,4′-N,N′-dicarbazole-biphenyl.
10. The tris-C^N-cyclometallated complex
