[0006] Electroluminescent devices often comprise additional layers besides an emission layer, such as one or more hole injection layers, hole transport layers, hole blocking layers, electron transport layers, electron injection layers, exciton blocking layers, electron blocking layers, and / or charge generation layers. These layers have a significant influence on the performance of electroluminescent devices. Generally, there is still room for improvement in the materials used, particularly with regard to efficiency, but also with regard to the device's lifetime.

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide compounds suitable for use in an organic electronic device, in particular an organic electroluminescence device, and which, when used in this device, lead to good device properties, as well as to provide the corresponding electronic device. In particular, the object of the present invention is to provide compounds that lead to good efficiency and a long lifetime. In addition to the emitters, hole transport materials, hole injection materials, electron blocking materials, electron injection materials, electron transport materials, and hole blocking materials contribute to these properties. Furthermore, the properties of the matrix materials, also referred to as host materials, have a significant influence on the lifetime and efficiency of the organic electroluminescence device.Foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx.

[0241] Furthermore, the compounds may include crosslinkable groups Q. A crosslinkable group Q, as used in the present invention, is a functional group capable of undergoing a reaction 5 to form an insoluble compound. This reaction can occur with another identical group Q, another different group Q, or any other part of the same or a different compound. The crosslinkable group is thus a reactive group. The reaction 10 of the crosslinkable group results in a correspondingly crosslinked compound. The chemical reaction can also be carried out within the layer, forming an insoluble layer. Crosslinking can usually be accelerated by heat or by UV, microwave, X-ray, or electron radiation, optionally in the presence 15 of an initiator.“Insoluble” within the meaning of the present invention preferably means that the compound according to the invention, after the crosslinking reaction, i.e., after the reaction of the crosslinkable groups, has a solubility at room temperature in an organic solvent that is at least a factor of 3, preferably at least a factor of 10, lower than that of the corresponding, non-crosslinked compound according to the invention in the same organic solvent.

[0242] The compound according to formula (I) or preferred embodiments of this formula may comprise one, two, three or more crosslinkable groups Q, wherein the compound according to formula (I) or preferred embodiments of this formula preferably comprises two, three or more crosslinkable groups Q.

[0243] According to the invention, preferred networkable groups Q are those in

[0244] 30

[0245] The following groups are listed:

[0246] a) Terminal or cyclic alkenyl or terminal dienyl and alkynyl groups:

[0247] Suitable units are those that have a terminal or cyclic double35

[0248] bond, a terminal dienyl group or a terminal triple bond, in particular terminal or cyclic Foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx

[0249] -22 -

[0250] Alkenyl-terminal dienyl or terminal alkynyl groups with 2 to 40 carbon atoms, preferably with 2 to 10 carbon atoms, wherein individual CH2 groups and / or individual hydrogen atoms can also be replaced by the aforementioned groups R. Furthermore, groups 5, which can be considered precursors and which are capable of forming a double or triple bond in situ, are also suitable.

[0251] b) Alkenyloxy, dienyloxy or alkynyloxy groups:

[0252] Alkenyloxy, dienyloxy or alkynyloxy groups are also suitable, preferably alkenyloxy groups.

[0253] c) Acrylic acid groups:

[0254] Acrylic acid units in the broadest sense are also suitable, preferably acrylic esters, acrylamides, methacryl esters and methacrylamides. C₁₋₁₀-alkyl acrylate and C₁₋₁₀-alkyl methacrylate are particularly preferred.

[0255] The crosslinking reaction of the groups mentioned above under a) to c) can occur via a radical, a cationic or anionic mechanism, but also via cycloaddition.

[0256] It can be advantageous to add a suitable initiator for the crosslinking reaction. Suitable initiators for radical crosslinking include dibenzoyl peroxide, AIBN 25, or TEMPO. Suitable initiators for cationic crosslinking include AlCl₃, BF₃, triphenyl methyl perchlorate, or tropylium hexachloroantimonate. Suitable initiators for anionic crosslinking are bases, especially butyllithium.

[0257] 30 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, however, the crosslinking is carried out without the addition of an initiator and is initiated exclusively thermally. This preference is justified by the fact that the absence of the initiator prevents impurities in the layer that could lead to a deterioration of the device properties. 35 Foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx

[0258] -23 -

[0259] d) Oxetanes and oxiranes:

[0260] Another suitable class of crosslinkable groups Q are oxetanes and oxiranes, which crosslink cationically by ring opening.

[0261] 5. It can be advantageous to add a suitable initiator for the crosslinking reaction. Suitable initiators include, for example, AlCl₃, BF₃, triphenylmethyl perchlorate, or tropylium hexachloroantimonate. Photoacids can also be added as initiators.

[0262] 10

[0263] e) Silanes:

[0264] Silane groups SiRs are also suitable as a class of crosslinkable groups, where at least two groups R, preferably all three groups R, represent CI or an alkoxy group with 1 to 20 carbon atoms. This group reacts in the presence of water to form an oligo- or polysiloxane.

[0265] f) Cyclobutane groups

[0266] 20 The crosslinkable groups Q mentioned above under a) to f) are generally known to the person skilled in the art, as are the suitable reaction conditions used to react these groups.

[1195] 30 Preferably, these arylamines and heterocycles, which are generally used as hole injection and / or hole transport materials, lead to a HOMO of more than -5.8 eV (vs. vacuum level), particularly preferably of more than -5.5 eV, as defined by quantum mechanical calculations.

[1196] 35 Foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx

[1197] - 97 -

[1198] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the composition (hereinafter also referred to as the mixture) contains, in addition to the components of the compound according to formula (I) and the hole transport material as previously described or preferably as described in section 5, no further components, i.e., functional materials. It is therefore a material mixture that is used as such for the production of the hole transport layer. These mixtures are also referred to as premix systems, which are used as the sole material source during the evaporation of the materials for the hole transport layer and which have a constant mixing ratio during evaporation. This allows for the simple and rapid evaporation of a layer with a uniform distribution of the components without the need for precise control of a multitude of material sources.

[1199] 15

[1200] Preferred are premix systems consisting of two materials, namely a compound according to one of formulas (I), (IIa), (IIb), (IIc) or (IId) and a compound according to one of formulas (L-1) or (L-2), particularly preferably a compound according to one of formulas (IIa1), (IIb1), (IIc1) 20 or (II-d1) and a compound according to one of formulas (L-1 -1 ), (L-1 -2), (L-1 -3), (L-1 -4), (L-1 -5), (L-1 -6), (L-1 -7), (L-1 -8), (L-1 -9), (L-2-1 ) or (L-2- 2 ).

[1201] Preferably, it can further be provided that the composition comprises at least one hole transport material and at least one compound according to formula (I) or the preferred embodiments, wherein the hole transport material and the compound according to formula (I) are sublimable and the difference in the sublimation temperature is at most 5 °C, preferably at most 2 °C, wherein the sublimation temperature is determined e.g. by means of vacuum TGA measurement.

[1202] This design provides easily and safely sublimable compositions that can be used particularly reliably in a plant for the production of high-quality electronic devices 35. Foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx

[1203] - 98 -

[1204] It is therefore preferably possible that the composition comprises at least one compound according to formula (I) or preferred embodiments of this formula and at least one electron transport material.

[1205] 5

[1206] Compounds exhibiting electron injection and / or electron transport properties, hereinafter referred to as electron transport materials, include, for example, pyridine, pyrimidine, pyridazine, pyrazine, oxadiazole, quinoline, quinoxaline, anthracene, benzanthracene, pyrene, perylene, benzimidazole, triazine, ketone, phosphine oxide and phenazine derivatives, but also triarylboranes and other 0-, S- or N-containing heterocycles with a low-lying LUMO (LUMO = lowest unoccupied molecular orbital).

[1392] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the composition (hereinafter also referred to as the mixture) contains, in addition to the components of the compound according to formula (I) 20 and the electron transport material as previously or preferably described, no further components, i.e., functional materials. It is therefore a material mixture that is used as such for the production of the electron transport layer. These mixtures are also referred to as premix systems, which are used as the sole material source during the deposition of the materials for the electron transport layer and which have a constant mixing ratio during deposition. This allows the deposition of a layer with a uniform distribution of the components to be achieved in a simple and rapid manner, without the need for precise control of a large number of material sources.

[1393] Preferred are premix systems consisting of two materials, namely a compound according to one of formulas (I), (IIa), (IIb), (IIc) or (IId) and a compound according to one of formulas (E-1), (E-2), (E-3) or (E-4), particularly preferably a compound according to one of the formulas Foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx

[1394] - 109 -

[1395] (IIa1), (IIb1), (IIc1) or (IId1) and a compound according to one of the formulas (E-1-1) or (E-1-2).

[1396] Preferably, it can further be provided that the composition comprises at least one electron transport material and at least one compound according to formula (I), wherein the electron transport material and the compound according to formula (I) are sublimable and the difference in the sublimation temperature is at most 5 °C, preferably at most 2 °C, wherein the sublimation temperature is determined e.g. by means of vacuum TGA measurement.

[1397] This design provides easily and safely sublimable compositions that can be used particularly reliably in a plant for the production of high-quality electronic devices 15.

[1398] Preferably, the compounds that can generate the electron injection and / or electron transport properties lead to a LUMO of less than -2.3 eV, preferably less than -2.5 eV (compared to 20 vacuum levels), and particularly preferably less than -2.7 eV, as defined by quantum mechanical calculations.

[1399] Furthermore, the compositions according to the invention can comprise at least one hole blocking material (HBM).

[1400] 25 A hole-blocking material is a material that, in a multilayer composite, prevents or minimizes the passage of holes (positive charges), particularly if this material is arranged as a layer adjacent to an emission layer or a hole-conducting layer. Generally, a hole-blocking material has a 30 lower HOMO level than the hole-conducting material in the adjacent layer. Hole-blocking layers are frequently placed between the light-emitting layer and the electron transport layer in OLEDs.

[1401] 35 In principle, any known hole-blocking material can be used. In addition to other hole-blocking materials that are used in other Foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx

[1402] - 110 -

[1403] As set out in the present application, suitable hole-blocking materials include metal complexes (US 2003 / 0068528), such as bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinolato)(4-phenylphenolato)-aluminum(III) (BAIQ). Fac-tris(1-phenylpyrazolato-N,C2)iridium(III) 5 (Ir(ppz)3) is also used for these purposes (US 2003 / 0175553 A1). Phenanthroline derivatives, such as BCP, or phthalimides, such as TMPP, can also be used. Further suitable hole-blocking materials are described in WO 00 / 70655 A2, WO 01 / 41512, and WO 01 / 93642 A1.

[1404] 10

[1405] Furthermore, the compositions according to the invention can comprise at least one electron blocking material (EBM). An electron blocking material is a material which, in a multilayer composite, prevents or minimizes the conduction of electrons 15, particularly if this material is arranged in the form of a layer adjacent to an emission layer or an electron-conducting layer. In general, an electron blocking material has a higher LUMO level than the electron transport material in the adjacent layer.

[1406] 20

[1407] In principle, any known electron-blocking material can be used. In addition to other electron-blocking materials described elsewhere in this application, suitable electron-blocking materials include transition metal complexes 25 such as Ir(ppz)3 (US 2003 / 0175553).

[1408] Preferably, the electron blocking material can be selected from amines, triarylamines and their derivatives.

[1409] 30 Organic functional materials, such as those described above and below, are often described by the properties of the frontier orbitals, which are explained in more detail below.

[1410] The energy levels of molecular orbitals (highest occupied molecular orbital HOMO, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital LUMO, lowest triplet state Ti, lowest excited singlet state Si) are Foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx

[1411] - 111 -

[1412] Determined via quantum mechanical calculations. The Gaussian16 (Rev. B.01) software package is used in all quantum chemical calculations. The neutral singlet ground state is optimized at the B3LYP / 6-31G(d) level. HOMO and LUMO values ​​are determined at the B3LYP / 6-31G(d) level for the ground state energy optimized with B3LYP / 6-31G(d). Subsequently, TD-DFT singlet and triplet excitations (vertical excitations) are calculated using the same method (B3LYP / 6-31G(d)) and the optimized ground state geometry. The default settings for SCF and gradient convergence are used. The HOMO and LUMO values ​​in eV derived from the quantum chemical calculations are additionally scaled by the following factors:

[1413] HOMO_corr = 0.90603 * HOMO (in eV) – 0.84836

[1414] LUMO_corr = 0.99687 * LUMO (in eV) – 0.72445

[1415] 15 These values ​​are to be regarded as HOMO or LUMO energy levels of the materials for the purposes of this application.

[1416] The lowest triplet state T1 is defined as the energy of the lowest-energy triplet state resulting from the quantum chemical calculation described. The lowest excited singlet state S1 is defined as the energy of the lowest-energy excited singlet state resulting from the quantum chemical calculation described.

[1420] R 2 Formula (I)

[1421] wherein the symbols have the aforementioned meanings, in an electronic device, in particular in an organic electroluminescence device. Oligomers, dendrimers or polymers of the present invention can be used accordingly. Foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx

[1422] - 112 -

[1423] Preferably, the compounds according to formula (I) may be used in an electronic device for varying the refractive index.

[1428] R 2 Formula (I)

[1429] 15, wherein the symbols have the aforementioned meanings. Electronic devices containing oligomers, dendrimers, or polymers of the present invention are included herein. An electronic device within the meaning of the present invention is a device which contains at least one layer containing at least one organic compound. The component may also contain inorganic materials or layers which are composed entirely of inorganic materials.

[1430] Particularly preferred is an electronic device selected from the group consisting of organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs, sOLEDs, PLEDs, LECs, etc.), preferably organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic light-emitting diodes based on small molecules (sOLEDs), organic light-emitting diodes based on polymers (PLEDs), light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs), organic laser diodes (O-lasers), “organic plasmon emitting devices” (DM Koller et al., Nature Photonics 2008, 1-4); organic integrated circuits (O-ICs), organic field-effect transistors (O-FETs), organic thin-film transistors (O-TFTs), organic light-emitting transistors (O-LETs), organic solar cells (O-SCs), organic optical detectors, organic photoreceptors, organic field-quench devices (O-FQDs) and organic foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx

[1432] electrical sensors, preferably organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs, sOLEDs, PLEDs, LECs, etc.), particularly preferably organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic light-emitting diodes based on small molecules (sOLEDs), organic light-emitting diodes based on polymers (PLEDs), especially phosphorescent OLEDs.

[1433] The organic electroluminescent device contains a cathode, anode, and at least one emitting layer. In addition to these layers, it may contain 10 further layers, for example, one or more hole injection layers, hole transport layers, hole blocking layers, electron transport layers, electron injection layers, exciton blocking layers, electron blocking layers, and / or charge generation layers. Likewise,

[1434] Interlayers, which may, for example, have an exciton-blocking function, are introduced between two emitting layers. It should be noted, however, that not every one of these layers is necessarily required. The organic electroluminescent device may contain one emitting layer, or it may contain several emitting layers. If several emission layers are present, they preferably exhibit several emission maxima between 380 nm and 750 nm, resulting in overall white emission. This means that different emitting compounds capable of fluorescence or phosphorescence are used in the emitting layers. Systems with three emitting layers, wherein the three layers exhibit blue, green, and orange or red emission, are particularly preferred.The organic electroluminescence device according to the invention can also be a tandem electroluminescence device, particularly for white.

[1435] 30 emitting OLEDs.

[1436] The compound according to formula (I) or the preferred embodiments described above can be used in different layers, depending on the exact structure. An organic electroluminescent device is preferred, containing a compound according to formula (I) or the preferred embodiments described above in a Foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx

[1438] Electron transport layer and / or in a hole-blocking layer. Furthermore, an organic electroluminescent device is preferred, comprising a compound according to formula (I) or the preferred embodiments described above in a hole transport layer and / or

[1439] 5 Electron blocking layer. Furthermore, the compound according to formula (I) or the preferred embodiments described above can be used in an emission layer.

[1440] Emission layers generally comprise emitters. The term emitter (10) refers to a material which, after excitation (which can be achieved by the transfer of any type of energy), allows a radiative transition to a ground state, emitting light. Generally, two classes of emitters are known: fluorescent and phosphorescent emitters. The term fluorescent emitter

[1441] 15 denotes materials or compounds in which a radiative transition from an excited singlet state to the ground state occurs. The term phosphorescent emitter preferably refers to luminescent materials or compounds comprising transition metals.

[1442] 20

[1443] Emitters are often also referred to as dopants if the dopants produce the properties described above in a system. In a system containing a matrix material and a dopant, a dopant is understood to be the component whose proportion in the mixture is smaller. Similarly, in a system containing a matrix material and a dopant, a matrix material is understood to be the component whose proportion in the mixture is larger. Accordingly, the term phosphorescent emitters can also refer to phosphorescent dopants.

[1444] Preferably, the fluorescent emitter in the composition has a peak emission wavelength between 420 and 550 nm, preferably between 420 and 470 nm.

[1445] 35 Preferred fluorescent emitting compounds for hyperphosphorescent OLEDs are selected from the class of arylamines. (See Foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx)

Since the compounds to be used according to the invention can also have a high triplet energy depending on the substitution, it is particularly possible to use them as matrix material for blue phosphorescent emitters.

[1522] 10 Suitable phosphorescent metal complexes that can be used in phosphorescent OLEDs or as sensitizers in hyperphosphorescent OLEDs are further disclosed, inter alia, in Sungho Nam et al., Adv.

The mixed matrix systems preferably consist of two or three different matrix materials, particularly preferably of two different matrix materials. Preferably, one of the two materials is a material with hole-transporting properties and the other material is a 15 material with electron-transporting properties.

[1543] In a preferred embodiment, a suitable combination of compounds preferably forms a hyperfluorescence and / or hyperphosphorescence system. Such hyperfluorescence and / or hyperphosphorescence systems constitute a preferred embodiment of the 5 compounds according to the invention.

[1544] Preferably, a fluorescent emitter is used in combination with one or more phosphorescent materials (triplet emitters) and / or a compound that is a TADF host material.

[1546] In WO 2015 / 091716 A1 and WO 2016 / 193243 A1, OLEDs are disclosed which contain both a phosphorescent compound and a fluorescent emitter in the emission layer, wherein the energy is transferred from the phosphorescent compound to the fluorescent emitter (hyperphosphorescence). In this context, the phosphorescent compound thus behaves like a host material. As is known to those skilled in the art, host materials have higher singlet and triplet energies compared to the emitters so that the energy of the host material is transferred to the emitter as efficiently as possible. The systems disclosed in the prior art exhibit precisely such an energy ratio.

[1547] A fluorescent emitter can preferably be used in combination with a 25 TADF host material and / or a TADF emitter, as previously outlined.

[1548] The process known as thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is described, for example, by BH Uoyarna et al., Nature 2012, Vol. 492, 234. To enable this process, a comparatively small singlet-triplet distance ΔE(S1–T1) of, for example, less than about 2000 cm is required in the emitter. -1 necessary. In order to open the otherwise spin-forbidden Ti-Si transition, another connection can be provided in matrix 35 next to the emitter, which exhibits strong spin-orbit coupling, so that the spatial proximity and the resulting possible interaction between Foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx

[1552] Host materials generally exhibit larger band gaps between the HOMO and LUMO than the emitter materials used. Additionally, preferred host materials display either hole-transport or electron-transport material properties. Furthermore, host materials can exhibit both electron- and hole-transport properties. Host materials are sometimes also referred to as matrix materials, particularly when the host material is used in combination with a phosphorescent emitter in an OLED.

[1968] 800 ml n-heptane are mixed with 3.3 g (5 mmol) B is[( 1,2, 5,6-r|)-1,5-cyclo-octadiene]di-p-methoxydi-iridium(l) [12148-71-9], then with 2.7 g (10 mmol) 20 4,4'-Di-tert-butyl-[2,2']bipyridinyl [72914-19-3] and then with 5.1 g (10 mmol) Bis-(pincolato)diborane and stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature. Then, 127.0 g (500 mmol) of bis(pinacolato)diborane and then 113.2 g (500 mmol) of dispiro[cyclopentane-1,1'-[1H]indene-3'(2'H),1"-cyclopentane] [405281-78-9] are added, and the mixture is heated to 80 °C for 12 hours (TLC-25 control - heptane:ethyl acetate 5:1). After cooling, the reaction mixture is treated with 300 ml of ethyl acetate, filtered through a silica gel bed, and the filtrate is completely concentrated under vacuum. The crude product is recrystallized twice from acetone (approx. 800 ml). Yield: 158.8 g (450 mmol), 90%; purity: approx. 99%. 1 H-NMR.

[1990] Representation according to DE4229086, example 2.

[1991] A well-stirred mixture of 108.8 g (404 mmol) EAB1 and 1000 ml diethyl ether, cooled to -78 °C, is treated dropwise with 475.3 ml (808 mmol) tert-butyllithium, 1.7 M in n-hexane. The mixture is stirred for 15 minutes, then heated to 10 °C for 30 minutes. A mixture of 11.5 ml (100 mmol) silicon tetrachloride [10026-04-7] and 100 ml diethyl ether is then slowly added dropwise. After the exothermic reaction has subsided, the mixture is heated under reflux for 2 hours. After cooling, slowly pour into 2 L of ice-cold 2 N hydrochloric acid while stirring well, stir briefly again, separate the organic phase 35, wash it twice with 300 ml of water each time and once with 300 ml of saturated sodium chloride solution, and dry over a mixture of Foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx

[1992] - 156 -

[1993] Magnesium sulfate and potassium carbonate. The mixture is filtered from the drying agent through a silica gel bed and concentrated under vacuum to dryness. Further purification is carried out by repeated hot extraction crystallization (using common organic solvents or combinations thereof, preferably acetonitrile-5 DCM, 1:3 to 3:1 vv) or by chromatography and fractional sublimation or annealing under high vacuum. Yield: 59.1 g (75 mmol), 75%.

[1994] Purity: approx. 99.9% according to HPLC or high-temperature GC.

[2828] In the following examples, OLEDs according to the invention (examples Ba1 to Ba4, Bb1 to Bb11 and Bc1) and one OLED according to the prior art (comparative example Va1, Vb1 or Vc1) are produced. The exact structure of the OLEDs can be found in Tables 1, 2 and 3. The 25 materials used to produce the OLEDs are shown in Table 4. The properties of the OLEDs according to the invention of examples Ba1 to Ba4, Bb1 to Bb11 and Bc1 and the properties of the OLEDs according to the prior art are listed in Tables 5, 6 and 7.

[2829] 30 Manufacturing of OLEDs

[2830] Glass plates coated with structured ITO (indium tin oxide) of 50 nm thickness are used as a substrate for the OLEDs.

[2831] All materials are thermally vapor-deposited in a vacuum chamber.

[2832] 35 The emission layer always consists of at least one matrix material (also called host material) and an emitting foreignfiling_text P24-256.docx

[2833] - 198 -

[2834] A dopant (doping agent, emitter) is added to the matrix material(s) by cover evaporation in a specific volume fraction. A specification such as BH:BD (97:3) 20 nm means that the material BH is present as the host material in a volume fraction of 97%, and the compound BD is present in a volume fraction of 3% in a 20 nm thick layer. Similarly, the hole injection layer (HIL), the hole transport layer (HTL), and / or the electron transport layer (ETL) can also consist of a mixture of two or more materials. The structure of the respective OLEDs is shown in Tables 1, 2, and 3.

[2935] Characterization of OLEDs

[2936] 10

[2937] The OLEDs are characterized according to standard procedures. For this, the electroluminescence spectra and current-voltage-luminance characteristics (IIIL characteristics) are measured, and the efficiency is calculated from these measurements. The calculation is performed assuming a Lambertian emission characteristic. The electroluminescence spectra are measured at a luminous flux of 15°C.

[2938] density of 1000 cd / m² 2 The color coordinates of the CIE 1931 x and y colorimetric values ​​were determined and calculated from them. The voltage required for a current density of 10 mA / cm² was then used. 2 The required value is denoted here as U10. EQE10 denotes the external quantum efficiency at a current density of 10 mA / cm². 2 .

[2939] 20

[2940] For each example, the relative EQE and the relative voltage are calculated in comparison to the respective reference example:

[2941] rel. U (Ex) = (U10(Ex) / U10(V))

[2942] rel. EQE (Ex) = (EQE10(Ex) / EQE10(V))

[2943] 25

[2944] The refractive index (RI) of a layer at a wavelength of 620 nm is determined using ellipsometry (JA Wollam Inc., USA). The measurement covers the wavelength range from 250 nm to 1000 nm, and the respective refractive index is determined via the dispersion curve. The samples for determining the refractive index (RI) are coated on SiO230

[2945] Substrates with three different layer thicknesses were produced. The respective material was thermally vapor-deposited. From these measurements, the average refractive index for each material or material mixture was determined.
