Abstract:
A copolymeric material is described that is suitable for use in a hole transport layer of organic electroluminescent device. The copolymeric material contains a phosphorous-containing group selected from a phosphate or phosphonate group and tertiary amino group selected from a triarylamino group or carbazolyl group.
Abstract:
The invention provides a novel polyvinyl acetal having N-vinylamide monomer units in the molecule, and provides a binder with the novel polymer for ink or paint and for ceramic forming. Compared with conventional polyvinyl acetals, the novel polymer lowers the solution viscosity and increases the solid content (pigment content) of ink or paint in which the polymer serves as a binder. The binder with the novel polymer for ceramic molding enables production of thin and homogeneous ceramic green sheets of high strength.
Abstract:
A novel copolymer affording a highly efficient electroluminescent element by the use of which the movement of electric charge occurs very efficiently and a full color luminescence is possible, a process for producing the same and an electroluminescent element, are provided, which copolymer is prepared by copolymerizing N-vinylcarbazole as an electron-transporting compound with a specified cumarin derivative as a luminescent compound; which process comprises copolymerizing a specified quantity of a specified cumarin derivative with a specified quantity of N-vinylcarbazole in the presence of a polymerization initiator or a catalyst; and which electroluminescent element is prepared by using a thin film obtained from the copolymer.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a polymer obtained from novel monomers, a composition containing the polymer, an electronic material composition, and an electronic element, the polymer, by being added to the electronic material composition or ink applied for coating film formation, improving the smoothness (leveling property) of a coating film to be obtained without deteriorating a driving stability of the electronic element. With the novel siloxane monomers, the polymer thereof, the composition containing the polymer, and the electronic material composition according to the present invention, it is possible to produce a smooth organic thin film. The electronic element including either of these compositions has a prolonged element lifetime and improved driving stability.
