There is a growing need for a flat display element that consumes less power and occupies less space. Such flat display elements include liquid crystal displays, plasma displays, and the like, but recently, EL elements that are light-emitting and display clearly have been attracting attention.

[0003] The above-mentioned EL elements can be roughly classified into inorganic EL elements and organic EL elements, depending on the materials of their construction, and inorganic EL elements have already been put into practical use. However, the driving method of the inorganic EL is so-called collision excitation type light emission in which electrons accelerated by the application of a high electric field collide and excite a luminescent center to emit light, so it is necessary to drive it at a high voltage. For this reason, there was a problem in that the cost of peripheral equipment increased.

On the other hand, the organic EL device described above has a structure in which opposing electrodes with different work functions are arranged with an organic light-emitting layer sandwiched between them, and holes injected from the anode and electrons injected from the cathode are transferred to the light-emitting layer. This is so-called injection-type light emission in which the light is recombined inside and emits light of the same wavelength as the fluorescence of the light-emitting layer. Therefore, it is possible to drive with a low voltage, and by changing the material of the light-emitting layer, it is possible to obtain any luminescent color.

[0005] In addition, the organic compounds used in the organic EL elements have different properties due to changes in substituents, etc., and therefore have a greater degree of freedom in material design than inorganic compounds. Therefore, it is considered that any luminescent material can be obtained by changing the molecular structure of an organic compound while taking into consideration the electronic state of the molecule. Therefore, in theory,
It is possible to emit light in all colors from blue to red, and in fact, various stable light-emitting materials that emit green, yellow, and orange light have been proposed.

As is clear from Table 1 above, (B1)
It was confirmed that the elements ~(B9) emitted blue or blue-green EL light and had high brightness. Although not shown, it has also been confirmed through experiments that elements (B1) to (B9) have excellent durability. In addition, in the above examples, results are described only for compounds having an alkyl chain between oxadiazole rings and having 3 carbon atoms, but similar good results were also obtained for compounds having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. can get. However, if the number of carbon atoms is 7 or more, problems arise in the synthesis of the compound and in that the compound is difficult to fly off when performing vacuum deposition to create an electroluminescent device.
