Using the combination of a layered perovskite compound (C6H5C2H4NH3)2PbI4 (PAPI), which forms a stable exciton with a large binding energy owing to its low-dimensional semiconductor nature and exhibits sharp and strong photoluminescence from the exciton band, and an electron-transporting oxadiazole derivative, we fabricated an organic–inorganic heterostructure electroluminescent (EL) device. The EL spectrum of the device corresponded well to the photoluminescence spectrum of the PAPI film; the emission was peaking at 520 nm and half-width of the emission was about 10 nm at liquid-nitrogen temperature. Further, highly intense EL of more than 10 000 cd m−2 was performed at 2 A cm−2 at liquid-nitrogen temperature in the device.

Organic electroluminescent (EL) devices with multilayered thin-film structures which emitted bright blue light were constructed. Two empirical guides for the selection of blue-emitting materials were established. The keys to obtain the EL cells with high EL efficiency were excellent film-forming capability of an emitter layer and the appropriate combinations of emitter and carrier transport materials for avoiding the formation of exciplexes. In one of our organic electroluminescent devices, blue emission with a luminance of 700 cd/m 2 was achieved at a current density of 100 mA/cm 2 and a dc drive voltage of 10 V.

The molecular design concept and mechanism leading to highly efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence are presented.

We have succeeded in fabricating a novel thin-film electroluminescent device with a luminescent hole transport layer as an emitter. The cell structure is composed of an indiumtin-oxide substrate, a luminescent hole transport layer (emitter), an electron transport layer, and a MgAg electrode. The most essential feature of our device owes for adoption of an oxadiazole derivative as an electron transport layer. The emission intensity of 1000 cd/m2 was achieved at a current of 100 mA/cm 2 •
