Abstract

Disclosed are a fluorescent complex comprising a rare earth atom and a ligand having a structure comprising a plurality of coordinating groups bonded to each other in a ring form, and a lighting system and a flashlight device using the same. This fluorescent complex can realize high-intensity fluorescence and a prolonged service life and gives a sharp fluorescence spectrum.

Claims (11)

1. A fluorescent complex comprising a rare earth atom and at least one ligand having a structure represented by the following formula (A1):

wherein

X represents a phosphorous atom,

R represents a group selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted straight chain or branched alkyl or alkoxy having 20 or less carbon atoms, phenyl, biphenyl, and naphtyl, each R group can be the same or different, and

n1 to n4 are independently an integer selected from 0-5.

2. The fluorescent complex according to claim 1 , wherein said complex comprises plurality of ligands having a structure represented by the formula (A1) and said ligands are mutually bonded.

3. The fluorescent complex according to claim 1 , wherein said rare earth atom is a europium atom.

4. A electroluminescent element comprising a cathode, an organic light emitting layer, and anode, wherein the organic light emitting layer comprising the fluorescent complex according to claim 1 .

5. A lighting system comprising a light emitting element having a light emitting face and a fluorescent layer disposed on or above said light emitting element on the side of the light emitting faces, said fluorescent layer comprising the fluorescent complex according to claim 1 .

6. A camera comprising as a flashlight device a lighting system comprising a light emitting element having a light emitting face and a fluorescent layer disposed on or above said light emitting element on the side of the light emitting face, said fluorescent layer comprising the fluorescent complex according to claim 1 .

7. A cellular phone with a camera, the camera comprising as a flashlight device a lighting system comprising a light emitting having a light emitting face element and a fluorescent layer disposed on or above said light emitting element on the side of the light emitting face, said fluorescent layer comprising the fluorescent complex according to claim 1 .
