    [0240] Production and Characterisation of the OLEDs

    [0241] The data of various OLEDs are presented in the following examples V1-V7 and E1-E23 (see Tables 1 and 2).

    [0242] Pretreatment for Examples V1-E23: Glass plates which have been coated with structured ITO (indium tin oxide) in a thickness of 50 nm are coated with 20 nm of PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate), purchased as CLEVIOS? P VP Al 4083 from Heraeus Precious Metals GmbH, Germany, applied by spin coating from aqueous solution) for improved processing. These coated glass plates form the substrates to which the OLEDs are applied.

    [0243] The OLEDs have in principle the following layer structure: substrate/hole-transport layer (HTL)/interlayer (IL)/electron-blocking layer (EBL)/emission layer (EML)/optional hole-blocking layer (HBL)/electron-transport layer (ETL)/optional electron-injection layer (EIL) and finally a cathode. The cathode is formed by an aluminium layer with a thickness of 100 nm. The precise structure of the OLEDs is shown in Table 1. The materials required for the production of the OLEDs are shown in Table 3.

    [0244] All materials are applied by thermal vapour deposition in a vacuum cham-ber. The emission layer here always consists of at least one matrix material (host material) and an emitting dopant (emitter), which are admixed with the matrix material or matrix materials in a certain proportion by volume by co-evaporation. An expression such as IC1:IC3:TEG1 (55%:35%:10%) here means that material IC1 is present in the layer in a proportion by volume of 55%, IC3 is present in the layer in a proportion of 35% and TEG1 is present in the layer in a proportion of 10%. Analogously, the electron-transport layer may also consist of a mixture of two materials.

    [0245] The OLEDs are characterised by standard methods. For this purpose, the electroluminescence spectra, the current efficiency (measured in cd/A), the power efficiency (measured in Im/W) and the external quantum efficiency (EQE, measured in percent) as a function of the luminous density, calculated from current/voltage/luminous density characteristic lines (IUL characteristic lines) assuming Lambert emission characteristics, and the lifetime are determined. The electroluminescence spectra are determined at a luminous density of 1000 cd/m.sup.2, and the CIE 1931 x and y colour coordi-nates are calculated therefrom. The term U1000 in Table 2 denotes the voltage required for a luminous density of 1000 cd/m.sup.2. CE1000 and PE1000 denote the current and power efficiency respectively which are achieved at 1000 cd/m.sup.2. Finally, EQE1000 denotes the external quantum efficiency at an operating luminous density of 1000 cd/m.sup.2. The lifetime LT is defined as the time after which the luminous density drops to a certain proportion L1 from the initial luminous density on operation at constant current. An expression of L0;j0=4000 cd/m.sup.2 and L1=70% in Table 2 means that the lifetime indicated in column LT corresponds to the time after which the initial luminous density drops from 4000 cd/m.sup.2 to 2800 cd/m.sup.2. Analogously, L0;j0=20 mA/cm.sup.2, L1=80%, means that the luminous density drops to 80% of its initial value after time LT on operation at 20 mA/cm.sup.2.

    [0246] The data of the various OLEDs are summarised in Table 2. Examples V1-V7 are comparative examples in accordance with the prior art, Examples E1-E23 show data of OLEDs according to the invention.

    [0247] Some of the examples are explained in greater detail below in order to illustrate the advantages of the OLEDs according to the invention.

    [0248] Use of Mixtures According to the Invention in the Emission Layer of Phosphorescent OLEDs

    [0249] The materials according to the invention give rise to significant improvements over the prior art in all parameters, especially with respect to lifetime and external quantum efficiency, on use as matrix materials in phosphorescent OLEDs.

    [0250] The use of compounds FF1 and FF2 according to the invention in combination with the green-emitting dopant TEG1 enables an increase in the lifetime by about 3040% compared with the prior art StdT1 and StdT2 to be observed (Examples V1, E1 and V2, E2). Furthermore, compound FF3 according to the invention enables an external quantum efficiency which is increased by about 25% compared with the prior art StdT3 (Examples V3, E3).
