Abstract

AbstractThanks to their characteristic photophysical properties, lanthanide complexes are of great value in many fields. Especially, high‐purity green and red lights from Tb(III) and Eu(III) complexes are particularly suitable for displays, and near‐infrared (NIR) emissions from Nd(III), Er(III), and Yb(III) complexes have huge potential in night‐vision devices. Therefore, since shortly after the birth of organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs), electroluminescence studies on lanthanide complexes have attracted much attention. This review comprehensively summarizes advances in the electroluminescence study of all lanthanide complexes in the past 30 years, where the lanthanide complexes are basically classified according to their emission wavelengths, i.e., visible light, near‐infrared (NIR) light, and simultaneous visible and NIR light. On this basis, the challenges and opportunities faced by electroluminescence of lanthanide complexes are also discussed.
