Description

Organic electroluminescent element
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescent device having high luminous efficiency.
Background
Research is actively being conducted to improve the light emission efficiency of an organic electroluminescent element (organic EL element). In particular, various studies have been made on the use of the material composition of the light-emitting layer of an organic electroluminescent element to convert the energy of the excited triplet state, which causes the non-radiative deactivation at room temperature, to the lowest excited singlet state energy for light emission.
For example, patent document 1 proposes a 3-component organic electroluminescent device in which a light-emitting layer is composed of a host material, a delayed fluorescent material, and a fluorescent material. In the light-emitting layer, the excited triplet energy from the host material to the delayed fluorescent material and the excited triplet energy generated by the delayed fluorescent material are converted to the excited singlet energy by the intersystem crossing from the triplet state to the singlet state in the delayed fluorescent material, and are moved into the fluorescent material and act as fluorescent radiation. Thus, the triplet excitation energy generated by the light-emitting layer is effectively used for light emission of the fluorescent material, and high light emission efficiency can be obtained.

Disclosure of Invention
Technical problem to be solved by the invention
Various fluorescent materials are being developed in which the emission wavelength depends on the energy gap between HOMO-LUMO and stokes shift, and these energy values are different. Therefore, in the above-described 3-component light-emitting layer, the energy of the LUMO of the fluorescent material may be higher than that of the LUMO of the delayed fluorescent material by the fluorescent material used, and may be lower (deeper) than that. In this case, the inventors have found that when the energy of LUMO of the fluorescent material is lower than that of LUMO of the delayed fluorescent material, the light-emitting efficiency is lowered and cannot be sufficiently improved by increasing the concentration of the fluorescent material, as a result of forming the light-emitting layer by combining various delayed fluorescent materials and fluorescent materials with the host material.
Accordingly, the present inventors have made intensive studies with a view to providing an organic electroluminescent element comprising a host material, a delayed fluorescent material, and a fluorescent material in a light-emitting layer, wherein a high light-emitting efficiency can be obtained even when the energy of the LUMO of the fluorescent material is lower than that of the delayed fluorescent material.

S in the formula (b) represents an orientation value of the 3 rd organic compound in the light emitting layer. The present invention satisfies the formula (b), and thus the orientation value of the 3 rd organic compound in the light-emitting layer is-0.3 or less. The orientation value is also referred to as an S value, and is an index indicating the degree of orientation of the 3 rd organic compound in the light-emitting layer.

Stripe camera system, etc.), a material in which fluorescence having a luminescence lifetime of 100ns (nanosecond) or more is observed is referred to as a delayed fluorescence material. The 2 nd organic compound is a material capable of radiating delayed fluorescence, but when used in the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention, it is not necessary to radiate delayed fluorescence from the 2 nd organic compound. The light emission from the 2 nd organic compound is preferably less than 10% of the light emission from the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention, and may be, for example, less than 1%, less than 0.1%, less than 0.01% and less than the detection limit.
In the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention, the 2 nd organic compound receives energy from the 1 st organic compound in an excited singlet state and transits to the excited singlet state. Further, the 2 nd organic compound may receive energy from the 1 st organic compound in the excited triplet state and transit to the excited triplet state. Difference between excited singlet energy and excited triplet energy of the 2 nd organic compound (ΔE ST ) Small, so that the 2 nd organic compound in the excited triplet state easily reverses intersystem crossing to the 2 nd organic compound in the excited singlet state. The 2 nd organic compound of the excited singlet state generated through these paths provides energy to the 3 rd organic compound to transition the 3 rd organic compound to the excited singlet state.
The difference ΔE between the lowest excited singlet energy of the 2 nd organic compound and the lowest excited triplet energy of 77K ST Preferably 0.3eV or less, more preferably 0.25eV or less, more preferably 0.2eV or less, more preferably 0.15eV or less, more preferably 0.1eV or less, more preferably 0.07eV or less, still more preferably 0.05eV or less, still more preferably 0.03eV or less, and particularly preferably 0.01eV or less.
If delta E ST Since the organic compound 2 is easily transferred from the excited singlet-reverse system to the excited triplet state due to the absorption of thermal energy, the organic compound functions as a thermally activated delayed fluorescent material . The thermally activated delayed fluorescent material absorbs heat emitted from the device and relatively easily crosses from the excited triplet inversion system to the excited singlet state, thereby enabling the excited triplet state to be energy-efficiently contributing to light emission.
The lowest excited singlet energy (E) of the compounds of the present invention S1 ) And the lowest excited triplet energy (E T1 ) The value obtained by the following procedure was used. ΔE ST To calculate E S1 -E T1 And the obtained value.
(1) Minimum excited singlet energy (E S1 )
Preparation of thin film of Compound to be measured or toluene solution (concentration 10 -5 mol/L) was used as a sample. The fluorescence spectrum of the sample was measured at room temperature (300K). In the fluorescence spectrum, the vertical axis represents luminescence, and the horizontal axis represents wavelength. A tangential line is drawn with respect to the rise of the short wavelength side of the light emission spectrum, and the wavelength value λedge [ nm ] of the intersection of the tangential line and the horizontal axis is obtained]. The value obtained by converting the wavelength value into an energy value by the following conversion equation is set as E S1
Conversion formula: e (E) S1 [eV]=1239.85/λedge
As for measurement of the luminescence spectrum in the later-described examples, an LED light source (Thorlabs, inc., M300L 4) was used as an excitation light source, and was performed by a detector (Hamamatsu Photonics k.k., PMA-12 multichannel spectrometer C10027-01).
(2) Minimum excited triplet energy (E) T1 )
Will be aligned with the energy of the lowest excited singlet state (E S1 ) The same sample used in the measurement of (C) was cooled to 77[ K ]]Excitation light (300 nm) was irradiated onto a sample for phosphorescence measurement, and phosphorescence was measured using a detector. The luminescence 100 milliseconds after the irradiation of the excitation light was used as a phosphorescence spectrum. A tangential line is drawn with respect to the rise of the phosphorescence spectrum on the short wavelength side, and the wavelength value λedge [ nm ] of the intersection point of the tangential line and the transverse axis is obtained]. The value obtained by converting the wavelength value into an energy value by the following conversion equation is set as E T1
Conversion formula: e (E) T1 [eV]=1239.85/λedge
The tangent to the rise on the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum is drawn as follows. Consider a case where, from the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum, the spectrum curve moves to the maximum on the shortest wavelength side of the maximum values of the spectrum, toward the tangent line at each point on the curve on the long wavelength side. The tangent line increases in slope as the curve rises (i.e., as the longitudinal axis increases). The tangential line drawn at the point where the slope value takes the maximum value is defined as the tangential line rising toward the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum.
The maximum point of the peak intensity having 10% or less of the maximum peak intensity of the spectrum does not include the maximum value on the shortest wavelength side, and a tangential line drawn at a point closest to the maximum value on the shortest wavelength side and having a maximum value of the slope is defined as a tangential line rising on the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum.

(3 rd organic Compound)
The 3 rd organic compound used in the light-emitting layer of the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention is a compound that emits fluorescence, and is a compound that has lower LUMO energy than the 1 st organic compound or the 2 nd organic compound. The 3 rd organic compound is preferably a compound which radiates fluorescence and has lower LUMO energy than the 1 st organic compound and the 2 nd organic compound, and has lower lowest excited singlet energy than the 1 st organic compound and the 2 nd organic compound. In the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention, the substitution value of the 3 rd organic compound in the light-emitting layer is-0.3 or less. In the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention, fluorescence from the 3 rd organic compound is emitted. Luminescence from the 3 rd organic compound typically comprises delayed fluorescence. The largest component of luminescence from the element is fluorescence from the 3 rd organic compound. That is, the amount of luminescence of fluorescence from the 3 rd organic compound is largest in luminescence from the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention.
In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the 3 rd organic compound receives energy from the 1 st organic compound in an excited singlet state, the 2 nd organic compound in an excited singlet state, and the 2 nd organic compound in an excited triplet state, which is converted by intersystem crossing from the excited triplet state, and transits to the excited singlet state. In a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, the 3 rd organic compound is energy-receiving from the 2 nd organic compound in the excited singlet state and from the 2 nd organic compound in the excited triplet state, and is transited to the excited singlet state by the 2 nd organic compound in the excited singlet state through the reverse intersystem crossing. The excited singlet state of the 3 rd organic compound produced radiates fluorescence when returned to the base state afterwards.
The 3 rd organic compound is not particularly limited as long as it is a fluorescent material (a fluorescent compound) satisfying a predetermined condition. Herein, "fluorescent material" means a material in which fluorescence having a luminescence lifetime of less than 100ns (nanoseconds) is observed when the luminescence lifetime is measured by a fluorescence lifetime measurement system (Hamamatsu Photonics k.k. Fringe photographing system, etc.). Delayed fluorescence or phosphorescence may be included in the luminescence from the 3 rd organic compound, but the largest component of the luminescence from the 3 rd organic compound is fluorescence. In one aspect of the present invention, the organic electroluminescent element does not emit phosphorescence or emits phosphorescence in an amount of 1% or less of fluorescence.
If the conditions of the present invention are satisfied, two or more 3 rd organic compounds may be used. For example, a desired color can be emitted by simultaneously using two or more 3 rd organic compounds different in emission color. Further, single color light emission from the 3 rd organic compound may be performed using one 3 rd organic compound.
In the present invention, the maximum emission wavelength of the compound that can be used as the 3 rd organic compound is not particularly limited. Therefore, a light-emitting material having a maximum light-emitting wavelength in the visible region (380 to 780 nm), a light-emitting material having a maximum light-emitting wavelength in the infrared region (780 to 1 mm), a compound having a maximum light-emitting wavelength in the ultraviolet region (280 to 380 nm), or the like can be appropriately selected and used. Fluorescent materials having a maximum emission wavelength in the visible region are preferred. For example, a light-emitting material having a maximum light-emitting wavelength in the range of 380 to 570nm in the region of 380 to 780nm, a light-emitting material having a maximum light-emitting wavelength in the range of 570 to 650nm, a light-emitting material having a maximum light-emitting wavelength in the range of 650 to 700nm, or a light-emitting material having a maximum light-emitting wavelength in the range of 700 to 780nm may be selected.
In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the compounds are selected and combined such that there is overlap between the emission wavelength region of the 2 nd organic compound and the absorption wavelength region of the 3 rd organic compound. In particular, it is preferable that the edge on the short wavelength side of the emission spectrum of the 2 nd organic compound overlaps with the edge on the long wavelength side of the absorption spectrum of the 3 rd organic compound.
The 3 rd organic compound preferably contains no metal atom other than boron atom. For example, the 3 rd organic compound may be a compound containing both a boron atom and a fluorine atom. Further, the compound may contain a boron atom but not a fluorine atom. Further, the metal atom may not be contained at all. For example, as the 3 rd organic compound, a compound composed of an atom selected from the group consisting of a carbon atom, a hydrogen atom, a deuterium atom, a nitrogen atom, an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a fluorine atom, and a boron atom can be selected. For example, as the 3 rd organic compound, a compound composed of an atom selected from the group consisting of a carbon atom, a hydrogen atom, a deuterium atom, a nitrogen atom, an oxygen atom, a fluorine atom, and a boron atom can be selected.

The 3 rd organic compound may be a compound having a multiple resonance effect of a boron atom and a nitrogen atom, or a compound containing a condensed aromatic ring structure such as anthracene, pyrene, perylene, or the like. As the 3 rd organic compound, a compound having a condensed ring structure including a boron atom and a nitrogen atom exhibiting a multiple resonance effect and having four or more rings can be exemplified.

Preferred materials that can be used for the organic electroluminescent element are specifically exemplified, but the materials that can be used in the present invention are not limitedly explained by the exemplified compounds below. Further, even a compound exemplified as a material having a specific function can be used as a material having another function.
The device comprises:
in some embodiments, the light emitting layer is incorporated into a device. For example, devices include, but are not limited to, OLED bulbs, OLED lamps, television screens, computer monitors, mobile phones, and tablet computers.
In some embodiments, an electronic device includes an OLED having an anode, a cathode, and at least one organic layer including a light emitting layer between the anode and the cathode.
In some embodiments, the compositions described herein may be incorporated into a variety of photosensitive or photoactivated devices, such as OLED or photovoltaic devices. In some embodiments, the compositions may be suitable for facilitating charge transfer or energy transfer within a device and/or for use as hole transport materials. Examples of the device include an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), an Organic Integrated Circuit (OIC), an organic field effect transistor (O-FET), an organic thin film transistor (O-TFT), an organic light emitting transistor (O-LET), an organic solar cell (O-SC), an organic photodetector, an organic photoreceptor, an organic field-quench device (O-FQD), a light emitting electrochemical cell (LEC), and an organic laser diode (O-laser).
Bulb or lamp:
in some embodiments, an electronic device comprises an OLED comprising an anode, a cathode, and at least one organic layer comprising a light emitting layer between the anode and the cathode.
In some embodiments, the device comprises OLEDs of different colors. In some embodiments, the device comprises an array comprising OLED combinations. In some embodiments, the combination of OLEDs is a combination of three colors (e.g., RGB). In some embodiments, the combination of OLEDs is a combination of colors that are not red, green, or blue (e.g., orange and yellow-green). In some embodiments, the combination of OLEDs is a combination of two, four, or more colors.
In some embodiments, the device is an OLED lamp, the OLED lamp having:
a circuit board having a 1 st surface having a mounting surface and a 2 nd surface opposite thereto, and defining at least one opening;
at least one OLED disposed on the mounting surface and having a structure in which the at least one OLED includes an anode, a cathode, and at least one organic layer including a light emitting layer between the anode and the cathode and emits light;
A housing for a circuit substrate; and
At least one connector is disposed at an end of the housing, and the housing and the connector define a package adapted to be mounted to a lighting device.
In some embodiments, an OLED lamp includes a plurality of OLEDs mounted on a circuit board such that light is emitted in multiple directions. In some embodiments, a portion of the light emitted in the 1 st direction is deflected to emit in the 2 nd direction. In some embodiments, the reflector is used to deflect light emitted in the 1 st direction.
A display or screen:
in some embodiments, the light emitting layer of the present invention may be used in a screen or display. In some embodiments, methods including, but not limited to, vacuum evaporation, deposition, evaporation, or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) are used to deposit the compounds of the present invention onto a substrate. In some embodiments, the substrate is a photo negative (photo plate) structure suitable for double sided etching, providing unique aspect ratio pixels. The screen (which may also be referred to as a mask) is used in a method of manufacturing an OLED display. The corresponding artwork design allows for the promotion of extremely steep and narrow tie-bars between pixels in the vertical direction, as well as the configuration of a wide range of bevel openings in the horizontal direction. Thereby allowing for the pixel tight patterning required for high definition displays while optimizing vapor deposition onto TFT backplanes.
The internal patterning of the pixels allows the construction of 3-dimensional pixel openings with aspect ratio variations in the horizontal and vertical directions. Furthermore, the use of imaged "stripes" or halftone circles within the pixel regions inhibits etching in certain areas until such time as these certain patterns are undercut and leave the substrate. At this time, all pixel regions are processed at the same etching rate, but the depth varies depending on the halftone pattern. Changing the size and spacing of the halftone patterns allows etching to be suppressed at different rates within the pixel, allowing localized deeper etching required to form steep vertical bevel angles.
A preferred material for the vapor deposition mask is constant-volume steel (innor). Constant-gauge steel is a metal alloy that is cold rolled into long sheets in a steelworks. Constant-gauge steel cannot be electrodeposited onto a spinning mandrel as a nickel mask. A suitable and low cost method for forming the opening region in the evaporation mask is a wet chemical etching-based method.
In some embodiments, the screen or display pattern is a matrix of pixels on a substrate. In some embodiments, the screen or display pattern is fabricated using photolithography (e.g., photolithography) and e-beam lithography. In some embodiments, the screen or display pattern is fabricated using wet chemical etching. In further embodiments, the screen or display pattern is fabricated using plasma etching.
The manufacturing method of the device comprises the following steps:
OLED displays are typically manufactured by forming a larger motherboard and then cutting the motherboard into unit panels. In general, each cell board on the motherboard is formed by: a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) including an active layer and source/drain electrodes is formed on a base substrate, a planarization film is coated on the TFT, and a pixel electrode, a light emitting layer, a counter electrode, and an encapsulation layer are sequentially formed and cut from the mother substrate.
In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display, the method including:
forming a barrier layer on a base substrate of a motherboard;
forming a plurality of display units from a unit of a unit panel on the barrier layer;
forming an encapsulation layer on each of the display units of the unit panels; and
And a step of coating an organic film on an interface portion between the unit plates.
In some embodiments, the barrier layer is an inorganic film formed of, for example, siNx, and an edge portion of the barrier layer is covered with an organic film formed of polyimide or acryl. In some embodiments, the organic film aids in gently cutting the master into unit panels.
In some embodiments, a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) layer has a light emitting layer, a gate electrode, and source/drain electrodes. Each of the plurality of display units may include a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) layer, a planarization film formed on the TFT layer, and a light emitting unit formed on the planarization film, wherein the organic film coated on the interface portion is formed of the same material as that of the planarization film and is formed at the same time as the planarization film is formed. In some embodiments, the light emitting unit is connected to the TFT layer with a passivation layer, a planarization film, and an encapsulation layer therebetween, and the encapsulation layer covers and protects the light emitting unit. In some embodiments of the method of manufacture, the organic film contacts neither the display unit nor the encapsulation layer.
Each of the organic film and the planarization film may include any one of polyimide and acryl. In some embodiments, the barrier layer may be an inorganic film. In some embodiments, the base substrate may be formed of polyimide. The method may further include, before forming the barrier layer on one surface of the base substrate formed of polyimide, mounting a carrier substrate formed of a glass material on the other surface of the base substrate, and separating the carrier substrate from the base substrate before cutting along the interface portion. In some embodiments, the OLED display is a flexible display.
In some implementations, the passivation layer is an organic film disposed on the TFT layer to cover the TFT layer. In some embodiments, the planarization film is an organic film formed on the passivation layer. In some embodiments, the planarization film is formed of polyimide or acryl, as is an organic film formed on an edge portion of the barrier layer. In some embodiments, the planarization film and the organic film are formed simultaneously when the OLED display is manufactured. In some embodiments, the organic film may be formed on an edge portion of the barrier layer such that a portion of the organic film directly contacts the base substrate and the remaining portion of the organic film contacts the barrier layer while surrounding the edge portion of the barrier layer.
In some embodiments, the light emitting layer has a pixel electrode, an opposite electrode, and an organic light emitting layer disposed between the pixel electrode and the opposite electrode. In some embodiments, the pixel electrode is connected to a source/drain electrode of the TFT layer.
In some embodiments, when a voltage is applied to the pixel electrode via the TFT layer, an appropriate voltage is formed between the pixel electrode and the opposite electrode, whereby the organic light emitting layer emits light, thereby forming an image. Hereinafter, an image forming unit having a TFT layer and a light emitting unit is referred to as a display unit.
In some embodiments, the encapsulation layer that covers the display unit and prevents external moisture from penetrating may be formed to have a thin film encapsulation structure in which organic films and inorganic films are alternately laminated. In some embodiments, the encapsulation layer has a film encapsulation structure in which a plurality of films are laminated. In some embodiments, the organic film coated on the interface portion is spaced apart from each of the plurality of display units. In some embodiments, the organic film is formed such that a portion of the organic film directly contacts the base substrate, and a remaining portion of the organic film contacts the barrier layer while surrounding an edge portion of the barrier layer.
In one embodiment, the OLED display is flexible and uses a soft base substrate formed of polyimide. In some embodiments, the base substrate is formed on a carrier substrate formed of a glass material, and then the carrier substrate is separated.
In some embodiments, a barrier layer is formed on a surface of the base substrate on a side opposite the carrier substrate. In one embodiment, the barrier layer is patterned according to the size of each cell plate. For example, a barrier layer is formed according to the size of each cell plate while a base substrate is formed over the entire surface of the motherboard, thereby forming a groove at an interface portion between the cell plate barrier layers. Each cell plate may be cut along the grooves.
In some embodiments, the method of manufacturing further comprises a step of cutting along the interface portion, wherein a groove is formed in the barrier layer, wherein at least a portion of the organic film is formed in the groove, and the groove does not penetrate into the base substrate. In some embodiments, a TFT layer of each unit plate is formed, and a passivation layer (i.e., an inorganic film) and a planarization film (i.e., an organic film) are disposed on the TFT layer to cover the TFT layer. The grooves at the interface portion are covered with an organic film formed of, for example, polyimide or acryl, while forming a planarization film formed of, for example, polyimide or acryl. This is when cracking is prevented from occurring by allowing the organic film to absorb an impact that is generated when each unit plate is cut along the groove at the interface portion. That is, if the entire barrier layer is completely exposed without the organic film, an impact generated when each unit plate is cut along the groove at the interface portion is transferred to the barrier layer, thereby increasing the risk of cracking. However, in one embodiment, the grooves at the interface portion between the barrier layers are covered with an organic film, which if not present absorbs the impact that may be transferred to the barrier layers, so each cell plate may be gently cut and cracks may be prevented from occurring in the barrier layers. In one embodiment, the organic film and the planarizing film covering the recess at the interface portion are spaced apart from each other. For example, if an organic film and a planarization film are connected to each other as a single layer, the organic film and the planarization film are spaced apart from each other so that the organic film is spaced apart from the display unit because external moisture may penetrate into the display unit via the planarization film and a portion of the remaining organic film.
In some embodiments, a display unit is formed by forming a light emitting unit, and an encapsulation layer is disposed on the display unit to cover the display unit. Thereby, after the motherboard is completely manufactured, the carrier substrate supporting the base substrate is separated from the base substrate. In some embodiments, when the laser beam is irradiated toward the carrier substrate, the carrier substrate is separated from the base substrate due to a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the carrier substrate and the base substrate.
In some embodiments, the motherboard is cut into unit boards. In some embodiments, the motherboard is cut along the interface portion between the unit boards by using a cutter. In some embodiments, since the grooves at the interface portion along which the motherboard is cut are covered with an organic film, the organic film absorbs impact during cutting. In some embodiments, cracking may be prevented from occurring in the barrier layer during dicing.
In some embodiments, the method reduces the defect rate of the product and stabilizes its quality.
Another aspect is an OLED display having: a barrier layer formed on the base substrate; a display unit formed on the barrier layer; an encapsulation layer formed on the display unit; and an organic film coated on an edge portion of the barrier layer.

Further, liq was evaporated to a thickness of 2nm to form an electron injection layer, and then aluminum (Al) was evaporated to a thickness of 100nm to form a cathode. Thus, an organic electroluminescent element was produced. It was confirmed that the elements produced herein all satisfy the formula (a) and that the maximum component of luminescence is fluorescence from the 3 rd organic compound.
Comparative examples 1 to 4, 8 and 11
An organic electroluminescent device was produced in the same manner as in example 1, except that the light-emitting layer having the composition shown in table 2 was formed by co-evaporation of the 1 st organic compound and the 2 nd organic compound without using the evaporation source of the 3 rd organic compound.
(composition of light-emitting layer and evaluation result)
Table 2 shows the compositions of the light-emitting layers, the external quantum efficiencies EQE, and the maximum wavelength of light emission of the respective elements fabricated in examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 10. The composition ratio of the 3 rd organic compound in examples 1 to 4 and comparative examples 5 to 7, 9 and 10 in the composition of the light-emitting layer is represented by a ratio (wt%) with respect to the total weight of the 1 st organic compound and the 2 nd organic compound, and the composition ratio of the other organic compounds is represented by a ratio (wt%) with respect to the total weight of the organic compounds constituting the light-emitting layer. In table 2, "-" indicates that no 3 rd organic compound was added.
TABLE 2
As shown in table 2, the elements of examples 1 to 6 in which the orientation value S of the 3 rd organic compound was-0.3 or less exhibited higher external quantum efficiency than the elements of comparative examples 1 to 3 in which the 3 rd organic compound was not included in the light-emitting layer. The elements of examples 2, 4 and 6 in which the concentration of the 3 rd organic compound was high obtained higher external quantum efficiency than the elements of examples 1, 3 and 5. In contrast, the elements of comparative examples 5 to 7, 9 to 10, and 12 in which the orientation value S of the 3 rd organic compound was greater than-0.3 contained the 3 rd organic compound in the light-emitting layer, respectively, and the external quantum efficiency was lower than that of the elements of comparative examples 4, 8, and 11 having the same structure. From the results of comparative examples 5 to 7 and comparative examples 9 to 10, it is evident that the higher the concentration of the 3 rd organic compound, the lower the external quantum efficiency. From the above results, it was confirmed that even in the element in which the energy of LUMO of the 3 rd organic compound is lower than that of LUMO of the 2 nd organic compound, if the orientation value S of the 3 rd organic compound is-0.3 or less, the concentration of the 3 rd organic compound is increased to achieve an improvement in external quantum efficiency.
Table 3 shows the composition and durability evaluation results of the light-emitting layers of the respective elements manufactured in examples 7 to 10. "LT95%" in Table 3 means that each element was set at 12.6mA/cm 2 The time (T95%) until the luminance reached 95% of the initial luminance was measured by continuous driving of the current density of (a) and the value of T95% was divided by the relative value calculated by T95% of the element fabricated in example 7. This means that the larger the LT95% value is, the more excellent the durability is.
TABLE 3
The elements of examples 7 to 10 were equivalent in that the concentration of the 2 nd organic compound in the light-emitting layer was changed, the maximum wavelength of light emission was 529nm, and the external quantum efficiency was about 22%. Further, it can be seen from table 3 that durability of the element is sometimes improved by increasing the concentration of the 2 nd organic compound.

This can expand the range of selection of LUMO energy of the 3 rd organic compound, and thus can improve the degree of freedom in designing the material of the organic electroluminescent element. Therefore, the industrial applicability of the present invention is high.
