Organic electronic device and method for the production thereof

An organic electronic device comprising:

• a substrate;
• a first electrode;
• a second electrode;
• and
• an electron-conducting region which is arranged between the first and second electrodes and comprises:
• an organic matrix material and a salt,
• wherein the organic matrix material is selected from materials with a repeating unit with the following general formula:
• where:
• the ring members A to F are each independently C or N, with the proviso that a maximum of two nitrogen atoms may be present,
• n is an integer from 2 to 8, where the free valences of the ends of the chains of the repeat units may each independently be saturated by H, methyl, phenyl, 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl or 4-pyridyl,
• R1 to R4 may each independently be H, methyl, phenyl, 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl or 4-pyridyl, and/or R1 and R2 or R3 and R4 may together form butadiene or azabutadiene units, such that a fused 6-membered ring system is foinied and the repeating units may be bonded by ethylene or azomethine units between the nth and (n+1)th ring to form phenanthrene or azaphenanthrene units,
• or wherein the organic matrix material is selected from the following compounds:
• 2,2′,2″-(1,3,5-benzenetriyl)tris(1-phenyl-1Hbenzimidazole),
• 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole,
• 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP),
• 4-(naphthalen-1-yl)-3,5-diphenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole,
• 1,3-bis[2-(2,2′-bipyridin-6-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazo-5-yl]benzene,
• 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline,
• 3-(4-biphenylyl)-4-phenyl-5-tert-butylphenyl-1,2,4-triazole,

• 2-(naphthalen-2-yl)-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline,
• 2,9-bis(naphthalen-2-yl)-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline,
• tris(2,4,6-trimethyl-3-(pyridin-3-yl)phenyl)borane,
• 1-methyl-2-(4-(naphthalen-2-yl)phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]-phenanthroline,
• siloles with silacyclopentadiene units,
• and wherein the salt consists of:
• a metal cation selected from the group consisting of monovalent metal cations Rb+, Cs+, Ag+, Cu+, Tl+, alkaline-earth metal cations, and combinations thereof, and
• at least one anion, of at least threefold negative valence, selected from the group consisting of:
• phosphate anions PO43− and anionic polyvalent organic anions.
