Abstract

An OLED device including a cathode, an anode, and having therebetween a phosphorescent light-emitting layer that contains a light-emitting organometallic complex including a precious metal, a first ligand including an imidazole group and a second nitrogen heterocycle group, and at least one second different ligand.

Claims (14)

1. An OLED device comprising a cathode, an anode, and having therebetween a phosphorescent light-emitting layer that contains a light-emitting organometallic complex represented by Formula 2:

wherein the device emits blue light.

2. The OLED device of claim 1 wherein the light-emitting organometallic complex is a dopant compound disposed in a host material.

3. The OLED device of claim 2 wherein the dopant compound is present in an amount of up to 15% by weight based on the host material.

4. The OLED device of claim 2 wherein the host material includes a nitrogen heterocyclic host compound.

5. The OLED device of claim 2 wherein the host material includes an organic phosphineoxide host compound.

6. The OLED device of claim 2 wherein the host material includes an organosilane host compound.

7. An OLED device comprising a cathode, an anode, and having therebetween a phosphorescent light-emitting layer that contains a light-emitting organometallic complex represented by Formula 3:

wherein the device emits blue light.

8. The OLED device of claim 7 wherein the light-emitting organometallic complex is a dopant compound disposed in a host material.

9. The OLED device of claim 8 wherein the dopant compound is present in an amount of up to 15% by weight based on the host material.

10. The OLED device of claim 8 wherein the host material includes a nitrogen heterocyclic host compound.

11. The OLED device of claim 8 wherein the host material includes an organic phosphineoxide host compound.

12. The OLED device of claim 8 wherein the host material includes an organosilane host compound.
