ABSTRACT:
An improved electroluminescent device has a layer of a first electroluminescent metal complex or organo metallic complex and a layer of a second metal complex or organo metallic complex in which the band gap of the metal in the second electroluminescent metal complex or organo metallic complex is larger than the band gap of the metal in the first electroluminescent metal complex or organo metallic complex.
