Mononuclear Cu-I complexes with mixed ligands are used to fabricate green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes. The electroluminescence (EL) maximum at 524 nm coincides well with its photoluminescent (PL) spectrum in poly(methyl methacrylate) film (see Figure). A maximum current efficiency of 10.5 cd A(-1) at 105 cd m(-2) and a maximum brightness up to 1663 cd m(-2) are demonstrated.
