Abstract
The present invention relates to a composition which comprises an electron-transporting host and a hole-transporting host, to the use thereof in electronic devices and to electronic devices containing this composition. The electron-transporting host is particularly preferably selected from the class of the lactams. The hole-transporting host is preferably selected from the class of the biscarbazoles.
