Embodiment 1

[0065] Embodiment 1: Device 1

[0066] Use a device with the following structure:

[0067] ITO / / compound 1 (layer thickness 38 nm) / / compound 2 (layer thickness 45 nm) / / Sm.

[0068]

[0069] Compound 1 Compound 2

[0070] The compounds were synthesized as described in EP-A-0 676 461 .

[0071] Devices were prepared as follows: Compound 1 was spin-coated at 2000 rpm onto pre-cleaned ITO (on glass) from a 10 mg / ml solution in chlorobenzene. Compound 2 and the cathode were coated by vacuum sublimation. The current-voltage curve is shown on figure 2 middle. Key potential energy values ​​were determined by electrochemical measurements: compound 1 (IP1 = 5.0 eV; EA1 < 2.0 eV), compound 2 (IP2 = 5.9 eV; EA2 = 2.5 eV). The photoluminescence maxima of the two compounds are 3.1eV (Compound 1) and 3.3eV (Compound 2), respectively. In contrast, the electroluminescence maximum of the devices prepared in this way was clearly shifted to longer wavelengths: 2.5 eV.

Embodiment 2

[0073] Use a device with the following structure:

[0074] ITO / / compound 1 (layer thickness 38nm) / / compound 3 (layer thickness 39nm) / / Mg-Al alloy (3 / 97).

[0075]

[0076] Compound 1 Compound 3

[0077] Compound 3 was synthesized as described in A. Mannschreck et al., J. Chem. Res (9), 1995,180.

[0078] Devices were prepared as follows: Compound 1 was coated onto pre-washed ITO by spin coating at 2000 rpm from a 10 mg / ml solution in chlorobenzene. Compound 3 and the cathode were coated by vacuum sublimation. The current-voltage curve is shown on image 3 middle. Key potential energy values ​​were determined by electrochemical measurements: Compound 1 (IP1 = 5.0 eV; EA1 6.0 eV; EA2 = 3.3 eV). The photoluminescence maxima of the two compounds are 3.1 eV (compound 1) and 3.0 eV (compound 2). In contrast, the electroluminescence maximum of the device prepared in this way was clearly shifted to longer wavelengths: 1.8 eV.

Embodiment 3

[0080] The device in Example 1 is provided with a UV / VIS absorbing film that completely absorbs light with a wavelength of less than 450 nm (transmittance < 0.01%).

[0081] This device is stored in daylight. Functional testing after seven days showed little change to the device, as it had when it was first fabricated. In contrast, the efficiency of the control device without protection from light dropped significantly after 7 days.

Abstract

This invention concerns an electroluminescent device, the electroluminescence spectrum of which does not overlap with the absorption spectrum, which contains two or more organic layers between two electrodes. This device is characterized by the fact that a) two neighboring organic layers each have an optical band gap of at least 2.5 eV, and b) the wave length (lambda max corresponding to an energy Emax), at which the electroluminescence reaches a maximum, lies in the range which corresponds to the energy difference DELTA E (ionization potential of the first organic layer minus electron affinity of the second organic layer), Emax being less than or equal to 2.5 eV.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a multilayer electroluminescent device wherein its electroluminescence spectrum and absorption spectrum do not overlap. Background technique [0002] There is a great demand for flat, large-area light sources for lighting, display elements and screen technology. None of the techniques currently employed in this field of application is entirely satisfactory. [0003] Electroluminescence (EL) devices based on organic electroluminescent materials have been developed in recent years as an alternative to conventional display elements and lighting elements, such as incandescent lamps, gas discharge lamps, and non-self-emitting liquid crystal display elements. [0004] Electroluminescence is the phenomenon in which certain materials are able to emit light under an applied electric field. The physical model describing this effect is based on the recombination of electrons and electron vacancies (so-called holes) with simultan...
