A material for organic electroluminescence devices of the invention which is for use in combination with at least one phosphorescent metal complex has a specific heterocyclic structure. The material for organic electroluminescence devices is used as a host material or a hole transporting material. An organic electroluminescence device having an anode, a cathode and an organic thin film layer having one or more layers which is interposed between the anode and cathode, in which at least one layer of the organic thin film layer contains the material for organic electroluminescence devices, has a high emitting efficiency, causes little pixel defects, is excellent in heat resistance, and shows a long lifetime.
A hard multilayer coated tool including: (a) a substrate; and (b) a multilayer coating covering the substrate, the multilayer coating comprising first and second coatinglayers which are alternately laminated on the substrate, each of the first coating layers having and average thickness of 0.10-0.50 mum and containing titanium therein, each of the second coating layers having and average thickness of 0.10-0.50 mum and containing aluminum therein, the multilayer coating having and average thickness of 0.50-10.0 mum.
The present invention provides a separator for non-aqueous electrolyte batteries which neither breaks nor slips off at the time of fabrication of battery, gives excellent battery fabricability, causes no internal short-circuit caused by contact between electrodes even if the electrodes are externally short-circuited, can inhibit ignition of battery and produces high energy density and excellent cycle life, and further provides a non-aqueous electrolyte battery using the separator and a method for manufacturing the separator. That is, the present invention relates to a separator for non-aqueous electrolyte batteries which comprises a porous base containing at least one member selected from a porous film, a woven fabric or nonwoven fabric containing an organic fiber and a paper and an organometallic compound applied to the porous base; a method for the manufacture of the separator for non-aqueous electrolyte batteries which comprises allowing said porous base to contact with a solution of organometallic compound by impregnation, coating or spraying, followed by drying or curing with heating to apply the organometallic compound to the porous base; and a non-aqueous electrolyte battery using the separator.
