This invention relates to an organic electroluminescence (EL) device and to the use of a tris-cyclometalated iridium complex with a 3-Phenyl-azine ligand for thin-film type organic electroluminescence devices. The iridium complexes used have the following formulae: 

Red-emitting electrophosphorescent devices

A compound of formula [I]:X&#x2014;R[I]wherein X represents the group: and R is either (i) represented by the formula [II] wherein n is 1 or 2, and the or each Rgroup is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and halogen atoms, cyano, nitro, mercapto, carbonyl and sulfone groups, and optionally substituted alkyl, haloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylamino, arylamino, alkylthio, arylthio, ester, siloxy, cyclic hydrocarbon and heterocyclic groups;or (ii) is selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aryl, cyclic hydrocarbon and heterocyclic groups;wherein in each case R&#x2013;Rare each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and halogen atoms, cyano, nitro, mercapto, carbonyl and sulfone groups, and optionally substituted alkyl, haloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylamino, arylamino, alkylthio, arylthio, ester, siloxy, cyclic hydrocarbon and heterocyclic groups. The compounds are useful as hole-transporting materials in electroluminescence devices.

Electroluminescent devices

An organic electroluminescence device which includes an anode, a cathode, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer, and at least one organic luminescent medium doped with a pyrazolo[3,4b]quinoxaline derivative is disclosed. The present device provides improved efficiency, and the emission band associated therewith is surprisingly narrow. The improved green emitting organic electroluminescence device exhibits high color purity.

Organic electroluminescence devices using pyrazolo[3,4b]quinoxaline derivatives

Organic electroluminescence devices are described, each of which comprises an anode, a cathode, a luminescent layer, at least one hole-transporting layer disposed between the anode and the luminescent layer, at least one electron-transporting layer disposed between the cathode and the luminescent layer, and a substrate present on either the anode or cathode. The luminescent layer in the devices uses as red-emitting materials, salicylaldiminato Schiff bases or their metal complexes based on diaminomaleonitrile and salicylaldehyde derivatives. These organic electroluminescence devices exhibit excellent color chromaticity co-ordinates and good efficiency.
