Abstract
Recent progress in electroluminescent lanthanide(III) complexes, luminescent polymers attached to lanthanide(III) complexes, and lanthanide(III) coordination polymers has been introduced for the fabrication of novel electroluminescence devices. A new electroluminescence system for future display and lighting devices is also described. Electroluminescence from lanthanide coordination compounds with high color purities (full widths at half maximum of emission bands <100 cm−1) is expected to open up a frontier field of future display devices.
