Highly Efficient Phosphorescent Materials Based on Platinum Complexes and Their Application in Organic Light-Emitting Devices (OLEDs) Platinum complexes show promise for flat screens and energy efficient lighting

Although numerous materials can be utilised as emitters in electroluminescent devices, platinum complexes bearing organic ligands are among the most promising for use as highly efficient phosphorescent materials in which the singlet and triplet states can be simultaneously harvested for emission. This article aims to give an overview of recent progress in Pt phosphors featuring ingeniously designed ligands and to summarise their impressive performances when incorporated into organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). Such materials show great promise for applications such as flat screen displays and low-energy solid-state lighting.
