Red phosphorescent compounds and organic electroluminescent devices using the same
View Patent ↗Disclosed herein are red phosphorescent compounds of the following one of Formulas 1 to 3 wherein Formula 1 R1 and R2 are independently a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are independently selected from hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 alkyl groups and C 1 -C 4 alkoxy groups, wherein Formula 2 R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from C 1 -C 4 alkyl groups and C 1 -C 4 alkoxy groups, wherein Formula 3 R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 alkyl groups and C 1 -C 4 alkoxy groups, and wherein is selected from 2,4-pentanedione, 2,2,6,6,-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dione, 1,3-propanedione, 1,3-butanedione, 3,5-heptanedione, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,4-pentanedione, 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione and 2,2-dimethyl-3,5-hexanedione.
1. An organic electroluminescent (EL) device comprising
an anode,
a hole injecting layer,
a hole transport layer,
a light-emitting layer,
an electron transport layer,
an electron injecting layer, and
a cathode
laminated in this order, and a red phosphorescent compound selected from
and
wherein the red phosphorescent compound is a dopant of the light-emitting layer and is present in an amount of 0.5 to 20% by weight, based on the weight of a host.
2. The organic electroluminescent (EL) device according to claim 1 , wherein the host is selected from an Al complex, a Zn complex, and a carbazole derivative.
3. The organic electroluminescent (EL) device according to claim 2 , wherein the Al or Zn complex has at least one ligand selected from quinolyl, biphenyl, isoquinolyl, phenyl, naphthyl, methylquinolyl, dimethylquinolyl and dimethylisoquinolyl groups, and the carbazole derivative is 4,4′-N,N′ dicarbazole biphenyl (CBP).
