NOVELTY - An organic electronic device comprises a substrate; a first electrode, arranged on the substrate; at least a first functional organic layer arranged on the first electrode; and a second electrode arranged on the first functional organic layer. The first functional organic layer comprises a matrix material and p-dopant with regard to the matrix material. The p-dopant comprises a copper complex (c1) containing at least one ligand.    USE - As an organic electronic device selected from field effect transistor, solar cell, photo detector, optoelectronic component, light-emitting diode and display (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The organic electronic device is a radiation emitting device (e.g. organic light-emitting diode), the present p-dopants do not quench radiation emission, and thus for the first time the radiation emitting compound is also used to increase hole-conductivity. The present copper complexes are prepared by using low cost starting materials. The organic electronic device containing the p-dopants/copper complexes serves as components for improving hole-transport which is particularly suited for organic electronic devices, and for providing good hole-transport (as well as electron transport) that gives rise to a high rate of recombination and thus provides a high efficiency and luminescence of the organic light-emitting diode.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An organic electronic device comprises a substrate; a first electrode, arranged on the substrate; at least a first functional organic layer arranged on the first electrode; and a second electrode arranged on the first functional organic layer. The first functional organic layer comprises a matrix material and p-dopant with regard to the matrix material. The p-dopant comprises a copper complex (c1) containing at least one ligand L1 of formula E1=C(R)-E2.    E1 and E2=O, S, selenium or NR';    R=H or optionally substituted, branched, linear or cyclic hydrocarbyl;    R'=hydrogen or optionally substituted, branched, linear or cyclic hydrocarbyl.    An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a polynuclear copper complex (c2) for doping an organic semiconducting matrix material comprising at least two copper atoms, and at least one ligand L2 bridging the two copper atoms, where the ligand L2 is of formula E1=C(R'a)-E2.    R'a=optionally substituted, branched, linear or cyclic alkyl or aryl bearing at least one electron withdrawing substituent, and particularly fluorinated or perfluorinated aromatic or aliphatic substituents.    Provided that R'a does not represent CF3.
