Abstract
Divalent molecular lanthanide complexes are shown to offer promise as tunab le light emitting materials in thin film electroluminescent displays for th e first time in this study. Bright orange luminescence is obtained from thi n film EL device structures containing bis[tris(dimethylpyrazolyl)borate]eu ropium(II) (1), which has a high quantum efficiency in the solid state. The effect of device structure upon device efficiency and light purity is disc ussed and an optimum EL device structure for 1 detailed.
