Provided are an organic electroluminescent device having better performances in luminous efficiency, device life and driving voltage, a display unit equipped with the same and a lighting instrument equipped with the same. The organic electroluminescent device comprises an electron transport layer containing a specific arylamine-substituted coumarin compound.

Coumarin compound, material for light emitting device and organic electroluminescent device

The objectives of this invention are to extend the range of choosing materials to use in the preparation of photopolymerizable compositions by providing a novel organic compound which absorbs a visible light; or to provide an orgamc material which is useful as host compound in organic electroluminescent devices, as well as its uses: The objectives are attainable by providing an aromatic tertiary amine compound bearing within the same molecule one or more specific atomic groups, a luminescent agent directed to use in organic electroluminescent devices comprising it, and an organic electroluminescent device using such amine compound, as well as its uses.

Amine compound and uses thereof

A method for producing a coumarin compound represented by Formula 1, which comprises a step of reacting a coumarin compound represented by Formula 1 with a compound having an aldehyde group and an activated methylene group; luminous agents for organic EL elements and organic EL elements which all comprise the coumarin compound; and displaying panels and information displaying apparatuses using the organic EL elements:&#xf8;(Z)m&#x2003;&#x2003;Formula 1wherein in Formula 1, &#xf8; is an aromatic ring, heterocycle, or a combination thereof, each Z is the same or a different coumarin group represented by Formula 2; and m is an integer of two or more; 

Coumarin compound

This invention has an objective to improve durability at elevated temperature in organic electroluminescent devices using coumarin derivatives as dopant in a luminescent layer. This invention attains the above objective by providing in the organic electroluminescent devices formed by laminating an anode, a hole injection layer, a hole transportation layer, a luminescent layer, an electron transportation layer and a cathode in this order, the luminescent layer which comprises as dopant the green light-emitting coumarin derivative and hole- and electron-transporting substances as host; said coumarin derivative consisting of a plurality of coumarin groups bound to an aromatic ring, heterocycle, or any combination thereof, and exhibiting a glass transition point of 150&#xb0; C. or higher or a melting point of 297&#xb0; C. or higher.
