Abstract
Disclosed are organic electroluminescent material and device. The organic electroluminescent material is a metal complex with a structure of Formula 1. These novel metal complexes can be used in electroluminescent device, and show more excellent performance, for example, they can reduce the driving voltage and full width at half maximum, obtain more saturated light emission, improve the efficiency and the lifetime of the device, and finally, it can improve the comprehensive performance of the device significantly.
