Drawings
Fig. 1 is a diagram schematically showing a configuration of an organic EL element according to an embodiment.
Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The same reference numerals are used for the same elements. Duplicate descriptions are omitted. The dimensional ratios in the drawings do not necessarily correspond to the dimensional ratios illustrated.
As schematically shown in fig. 1, in the organic electroluminescent element (organic EL element) 1 of the present embodiment, an anode E1, a hole injection layer 11, a hole transport layer 12, a light-emitting layer 13, a1 st layer 14b, a2 nd layer 14a, and a cathode E2 are provided in this order on a substrate P. Hereinafter, the 1 st layer 14b and the 2 nd layer 14a may be collectively referred to as the multilayer electron transport layer 14. The organic EL element 1 can be suitably used for a curved or planar lighting device, a planar light source used as a light source of a scanner, and a display device. The organic EL element 1 may be a bottom emission type in which light emitted from the light-emitting layer 13 passes through the substrate P and is emitted, or a top emission type in which light emitted from the light-emitting layer 13 is emitted from the side opposite to the substrate P (i.e., from the cathode E2 side).
< substrate >
The substrate P may be a substrate that does not chemically change in the process of manufacturing the organic EL element 1, and may be a rigid substrate such as a glass substrate or a silicon substrate, or a flexible substrate such as a plastic substrate or a polymer film. By using a flexible substrate, the organic EL element as a whole can become flexible. Electrodes for driving the organic EL element 1 or a driving circuit may be formed in advance on the substrate P. In the case where the organic EL element 1 is of the bottom emission type, the substrate P may be made of a plastic material that substantially transmits visible light (for example, light having a wavelength of 360nm to 830 nm) emitted from the light-emitting layer 13.
< Anode >
At least one of the anode E1 and the cathode E2 is transparent. A thin film having low resistance may be suitably used as the anode E1. When the organic EL element 1 is of a bottom emission type, the anode E1 disposed on the substrate P side is preferably transparent and has high transmittance for light in the visible light range. As the material of the anode E1, a metal oxide film having conductivity, a metal thin film, or the like can be used.
Among them, a thin film containing ITO, IZO, and tin oxide can be suitably used as the anode E1 from the viewpoint of high transmittance and ease of patterning. When light is extracted from the cathode E2 side, the anode E1 is preferably formed of a material that reflects light from the light-emitting layer 13 toward the cathode E2 side. As such a material, a metal oxide, or a metal sulfide having a work function of 3.0eV or more is preferable. For example, a thin metal film having a thickness of a degree of reflecting light can be used.
In the case where the organic EL element 1 is of a top emission type, since light from the light-emitting layer 13 is reflected by the anode E1 and is guided out from the cathode E2 side, a material having a high visible light reflectance is preferable as a material of the anode E1. Specific examples of the material of the anode E1 include aluminum and silver.
In the case where the organic EL element 1 is of the bottom emission type, since light from the light-emitting layer 13 is reflected by the cathode E2 and is guided out from the anode E1 side, a material having high visible light transmittance is preferable as the material of the anode E1. Specific examples of the material of the anode E1 include a thin film made of Indium Oxide, Zinc Oxide, tin Oxide, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO), or the like, gold, platinum, silver, copper, aluminum, or an alloy containing at least 1 of these metals.
Examples of the method for forming the anode E1 include a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, an ion plating method, a plating method, and the like. As the anode E1, a transparent conductive film of an organic material such as polyaniline or a derivative thereof, polythiophene or a derivative thereof, or the like can be used.
The thickness of the anode E1 may be appropriately determined in consideration of light transmittance, electrical conductivity, and the like. The thickness of the anode E1 is, for example, 10nm to 10 μm, preferably 20nm to 1 μm, and more preferably 50nm to 500 nm.
< hole injection layer >
The hole injection layer 11 is a functional layer having a function of improving the efficiency of hole injection from the anode E1. Examples of the hole injection material constituting the hole injection layer 11 include oxides such as vanadium oxide, molybdenum oxide, ruthenium oxide, and aluminum oxide, polyaniline compounds, starburst amine compounds, phthalocyanine compounds, amorphous carbon, polyaniline, and polythiophene derivatives such as polyethylene dioxythiophene (PEDOT).
The hole injection layer 11 can be formed by, for example, a coating method using a coating liquid containing the hole injection material described above. The solvent of the coating liquid may be any solvent as long as it dissolves the hole injecting material, and examples thereof include chloroform, water, chlorine-based solvents such as methylene chloride and dichloroethane, ether-based solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, aromatic hydrocarbon-based solvents such as toluene and xylene, ketone-based solvents such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, and ester-based solvents such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate and ethyl cellosolve acetate.
Examples of the coating method include a spin coating method, a casting method, a microgravure coating method, a gravure coating method, a bar coating method, a roll coating method, a wire bar coating method, a dip coating method, a spray coating method, a screen printing method, a flexographic printing method, an offset printing method, and an inkjet printing method. The hole injection layer 11 can be formed by applying the coating liquid described above on the substrate P on which the anode E1 is formed, using 1 of these coating methods.
The hole injection layer 11 may be formed by a vacuum deposition method or the like. When the hole injection layer 11 contains a metal oxide, the hole injection layer 11 may be formed by a sputtering method, an ion plating method, or the like.
The optimum value of the thickness of the hole injection layer 11 differs depending on the material used. The thickness of the hole injection layer 11 can be determined as appropriate in consideration of the required characteristics, the ease of film formation, and the like. The thickness of the hole injection layer 11 is, for example, 1nm to 1 μm, preferably 2nm to 500nm, and more preferably 5nm to 200 nm.
< hole transport layer >
The hole transport layer 12 is a functional layer having a function of improving hole injection into the light-emitting layer 13 from a layer (the hole injection layer 11 in fig. 1) in contact with the interface on the anode E1 side of the hole transport layer 12 or the hole transport layer 12 closer to the anode E1.
Examples of the hole transporting material constituting the hole transporting layer 12 include polyvinylcarbazole or a derivative thereof, polysilane or a derivative thereof, a polysiloxane derivative having an aromatic amine in a side chain or a main chain, a pyrazoline derivative, an arylamine derivative, a stilbene derivative, a triphenyldiamine derivative, polyaniline or a derivative thereof, polythiophene or a derivative thereof, polyarylamine or a derivative thereof, polypyrrole or a derivative thereof, poly (p-phenylene vinylene) or a derivative thereof, poly (2, 5-thienylene vinylene) or a derivative thereof, and the like. Further, a hole transport layer material disclosed in Japanese patent laid-open No. 2012-144722 may be mentioned.
The hole transport layer 12 can be formed by, for example, a coating method using a coating liquid containing the aforementioned hole transport material. The solvent used for forming a film from the solution may be any solvent as long as it dissolves the hole-transporting material, and examples thereof include chlorine-based solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane, and dichloroethane, ether-based solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, aromatic hydrocarbon-based solvents such as toluene and xylene, ketone-based solvents such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, and ester-based solvents such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, and ethyl cellosolve acetate.
As a film formation method using a solution, the same coating method as that described as a method for forming a hole injection layer can be used.
The optimum value of the film thickness of the hole transport layer 12 differs depending on the material used. The film thickness of the hole transport layer 12 is appropriately set so that the driving voltage and the light emission efficiency are appropriate values. The hole transport layer 12 needs to have a thickness at least not to generate pinholes. If the hole transport layer 12 is too thick, the driving voltage of the element increases, which is not preferable. Therefore, the film thickness of the hole transport layer 12 is, for example, 1nm to 1 μm, preferably 2nm to 500nm, and more preferably 5nm to 200 nm.

< layer 2 >
The 2 nd layer 14a is a layer provided between the 1 st layer 14b and the cathode E2, and includes an electron-transporting organic compound (hereinafter also referred to as the 1 st material) and at least one of an alkali metal and an alkaline earth metal (hereinafter also referred to as the 2 nd material). That is, the 2 nd layer 14a is a layer containing a mixture of the 1 st material and the 2 nd material. The 2 nd layer 14a may be in direct contact with the 1 st layer 14 b.
As the 1 st material contained in the 2 nd layer 14a, a known organic compound generally used in an electron transport layer can be used.

According to the organic EL element of the present embodiment having the 1 st layer 14b and the 2 nd layer 14a, the driving voltage can be reduced. The reason for this is not necessarily determined, but the present inventors consider it as follows. First, in the case where the 2 nd layer is not present, that is, in the case where the 1 st layer is directly in contact with a cathode such as Al or a reductive metal layer such as Ba, the alkali metal element or the like contained in the organometallic complex compound of the 1 st layer can accept electrons from the cathode or the metal layer depending on the oxidation state thereof and transfer the electrons to the light-emitting layer. Thereby, holes and electrons are combined in the light-emitting layer, and the light-emitting layer emits light. However, when the organometallic complex compound is reduced by the cathode or the metal layer, a complex of the ligand of the organometallic complex compound and the metal contained in the cathode or the metal layer is formed as a by-product at the interface between the 1 st layer and the cathode or the metal layer or in the cathode or the metal layer. It is considered that the by-product acts as a resistance component, and thus the driving voltage of the organic EL element tends to be increased. Here, in the organic EL element of the present embodiment, since the 2 nd layer contains both the 2 nd material and the 1 st material having an electron-transporting property, the reduction of the organometallic complex compound by the 2 nd material is performed via the 1 st material. Therefore, it is considered that the generation of the by-products is suppressed and the driving voltage of the organic EL element can be reduced. It is also considered that the 1 st material also has a function of lowering an electron injection barrier from the cathode to the 1 st layer.
Examples of a method for forming the 2 nd layer include a method of co-evaporating the 1 st material and the 2 nd material by a vacuum evaporation method. The deposition rates of the 1 st material and the 2 nd material are not particularly limited, but the deposition rate of the 1 st material is preferably set to
Figure BDA0002471585210000141
The deposition rate of the No. 2 material is
Figure BDA0002471585210000142
In the case of co-depositing the 1 st material and the 2 nd material by a vacuum deposition method, the ratio of the 1 st material and the 2 nd material contained in the 2 nd layer 14a can be adjusted by changing the deposition rate of the 1 st material and the deposition rate of the 2 nd material.
The 2 nd layer preferably has a thickness of 0.1nm to 200 nm.
< cathode >
The material of the cathode E2 is preferably a material having a small work function, easy electron injection into the 2 nd layer 14a, and high electrical conductivity. The cathode E2 may be in contact with the 2 nd layer 14 a.
The thickness of the cathode E2 can be appropriately set in consideration of the electrical conductivity and durability. The thickness of the cathode E2 is, for example, 10nm to 10 μm, preferably 20nm to 1 μm, and more preferably 50nm to 500 nm.
When the organic EL element 1 is of a top emission type, a material having high visible light transmittance is preferable as the material of the cathode E2 in order to extract light from the light-emitting layer 13 from the cathode E2 side. As a material of the cathode E2, for example, a thin film containing Indium Oxide, Zinc Oxide, Tin Oxide, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) or Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO), gold, platinum, silver, copper, aluminum, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or an alloy containing at least 1 of these metals can be used.
In the case where the organic EL element 1 is of the bottom emission type, since light from the light-emitting layer 13 is reflected by the cathode E2 and is guided out from the anode E1 side, a material having a high visible light reflectance is preferable as the material of the cathode E2. Specific examples of the material of the cathode E2 include a thin film containing Indium Oxide, Zinc Oxide, tin Oxide, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO), or the like, gold, platinum, silver, copper, aluminum, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or an alloy containing at least 1 of these metals.
Examples of the method for forming the cathode E2 include a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, and a lamination method in which a metal thin film is thermocompression bonded.
While various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and range equivalent to the claimed range, given by the claimed range.
For example, the structure of the organic EL element is not limited to the structure illustrated in fig. 1.
The organic EL device may have the 1 st layer 14b and the 2 nd layer 14a between the light-emitting layer 13 and the cathode E2. An example of a layer configuration that the organic EL element can take is given. In the following a) to c), the layer including the 1 st layer and the 2 nd layer is also referred to as a multilayer electron transport layer.
a) Anode/hole injection layer/light-emitting layer/multi-layer type electron transport layer/cathode
b) Anode/hole injection layer/hole transport layer/light-emitting layer/multilayer type electron transport layer/cathode

The symbol "/" indicates that the layers on both sides of the symbol "/" are joined.
The "multilayer electron transport layer" in a) to c) is specifically any of the following laminated structures (i) to (vi).
(i) 1 st laminated structure: layer 1/layer 2
(ii) 2 nd laminated structure: layer 1/layer 2/electron injection layer
(iii) The 3 rd laminated structure: layer 1/layer 2/electron transport layer/electron injection layer

In the above-mentioned (ii), (iii) and (v), the electron injection layer is a functional layer having a function of improving the electron injection efficiency from the cathode E2 to the 2 nd layer 14a or the electron injection efficiency from the 2 nd layer 14a to the 1 st layer 14 b. The optimum value of the thickness of the electron injection layer varies depending on the material used, but the thickness of the electron injection layer may be appropriately set in consideration of electrical characteristics, ease of film formation, and the like. The thickness of the electron injection layer is, for example, 0.1nm to 1 μm.
As the material of the electron injection layer, a known electron injection material can be used. Examples of the material of the electron injection layer include alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, alloys containing 1 or more of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, oxides, halides, carbonates, fluorides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, and mixtures thereof. In addition, a layer obtained by mixing a conventionally known electron-transporting organic material with an alkali metal organometallic complex can be used as the electron injection layer.
In the above-mentioned (iii), (iv) and (vi), the electron transport layer is a layer having a function of transporting electrons from the cathode E2 to the 2 nd layer 14a or the electron injection layer, or transporting electrons from the 2 nd layer 14a to the 1 st layer 14 b. The electron-transporting material constituting the electron-transporting layer is not particularly limited as long as it is a material that is generally used as an electron-transporting material, and examples thereof include the electron-transporting organic compounds contained in the 1 st layer 14b and the 2 nd layer 14a described above. The thickness of the electron transport layer may be, for example, 0.1nm to 1 μm. In the above (v) and (vi), each electron transport layer may be replaced with an electron injection layer or an electron transport layer/electron injection layer.
When at least one of the layers constituting the multilayer electron transport layer is a layer having a function of blocking the transport of holes, such a layer having a function of blocking the transport of holes may be referred to as a hole blocking layer.
In the case where the hole blocking layer has a function of blocking the transport of holes, for example, an organic EL element in which only a hole current flows can be manufactured, and the effect of blocking can be confirmed by a decrease in the current value.
In addition, in the case where the hole injection layer and/or the hole transport layer in a) and b) has a function of blocking the transport of electrons, these layers may be referred to as electron blocking layers. In the case where the electron blocking layer has a function of blocking the transport of electrons, for example, an organic EL element through which only electron current flows may be fabricated, and the effect of blocking the transport of electrons may be confirmed by using the measured decrease in current value. An electron blocking layer may be provided between the anode and the light-emitting layer in addition to the hole injection layer and/or the hole transport layer.
The organic EL element may have a single-layer light-emitting layer or 2 or more light-emitting layers. In any of the layer configurations a) to c), if a laminate disposed between an anode and a cathode is referred to as "structural unit a", the layer configuration shown in d) below can be given as a configuration of an organic EL element having 2 light-emitting layers. The layer structures in which 2 layers (structural units a) are present may be the same or different from each other.
d) Anode/(structural unit A)/charge generation layer/(structural unit A)/cathode
The charge generation layer is a layer that generates holes and electrons when an electric field is applied. Examples of the charge generation layer include a thin film containing vanadium Oxide, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), molybdenum Oxide, or the like.
If "(structural unit a)/charge generation layer" is "structural unit B", the layer structure shown in e) below can be given as the structure of the organic EL element having 3 or more light-emitting layers 13.
e) Anode/(structural unit B) x/(structural unit A)/cathode
The symbol "x" represents an integer of 2 or more, and the symbol "(structural unit B) x" represents a laminate in which x stages (structural unit B) are laminated. The layer structure in which a plurality of layers (structural units B) exist may be the same or different.
Instead of providing a charge generation layer, a plurality of light-emitting layers may be directly stacked to form an organic EL element.
In the description so far, an example in which the anode is disposed on the substrate side has been described, but the cathode may be disposed on the substrate side. In this case, for example, when the organic EL elements a) to c) are fabricated on a substrate, the layers may be stacked on the substrate in order from the right side of the cathode (the components a) to c)).
The organic electroluminescent element of this embodiment mode can be used for an organic EL display.
