Electroluminescence Properties of Rare-Earth Metal Complexes with Organic Ligands

Abstract

This review article explores and analyzes published data on the photoluminescence and electroluminescence characteristics of rare earth element (REE) complex compounds, which are promising materials for creating highly efficient OLED devices. Distinguishing features of such compounds include their narrow emission bands, Stokes shift, long lifetime, and high quantum yields, enabling high resolution and color purity in constructed OLED devices. Using REE complexes as emissive layers in light-emitting diodes ensures significant color saturation and high device efficiency.
