METAL COMPLEX COMPOUND AND ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICE USING SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a metal complex compound of a specific structure which contains a metal such as iridium. Also disclosed is an organic electroluminescent device comprising an organic thin film layer which is interposed between a pair of electrodes and composed of one or more layers including a light-emitting layer, wherein at least one layer of the organic thin film layer contains the metal complex compound. The organic electroluminescent device emits light when a voltage is applied between the electrodes, and has high luminous efficiency and long life. The metal complex compound is used for realizing such an organic electroluminescent device.
