A novel zinc complex, Zn(NDP){sub}2 (NOP = 2-naphthy1-7-dimethylamino- 1 ,3-propanedione), was synthesized and applied to an organic electroluminescent (EL) device as an emitting material and an electron-transporting material.. The double-layeredEL device has been fabricated by using triphenyldiamine derivative (TPD) as a hole-transporting layer and Zn(NDP){sub}2 as an active emitting layer sandwiched between indium-tin oxide (ITO) and an alloy of Al/Li (99:1) electrodes. The deposited EL devicewas observed to emit a yellow-green light originating from Zn(NDP){sub}2 with a maximum luminance of 1000 cd/m{sup}2 at 14 V and 200 mA/cm{sup}2.
