Description
SPECIFICATION
ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT ELEMENT, ILLUMINATOR ND DI$PLAY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescent element, as well as an illuminator and a display employing the same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
As an emission type electronic display device, an electroluminescent device (ELD) is known. Elements constituting the ELD include an inorganic electroluminescent element and an organic electroluminescent element (hereinafter referred to also as an organic EL element) Inorganic electroluminescent element has been used for a plane light source, however, a high voltage alternating current has been required to drive the element. An organic EL element has a structure in which a light emitting layer containing a light emitting compound is arranged between a cathode and an anode, and an electron and a hole were injected into the light emitting layer and recombined to form an exciton. The element emits light, utilizing light (fluorescent light or phosphorescent light) generated by inactivation of the exciton, and the element can emit light by applying a relatively low voltage, namely, several volts to several tens of volts. The element has a wide viewing angle and a high visuality since the element is of self light emission type. Further, the element is a thin, complete solid element, therefore, the element is noted from the viewpoint of space saving and portability.
For the practical use in the future, an organic EL element is desired to emit light of high luminance with high efficiency at a lower power.
For example, disclosed is an organic EL element exhibiting higher luminance of emitting light with longer life in which a stilbene derivative, a distyrylarylene derivative or a tristyrylarylene derivative doped with a slight amount of a fluorescent compound is employed (refer to Japanese Patent No. 3093796) Also known are: an organic EL element which has an organic light emitting layer containing 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum complex as a host compound doped with a slight amount of a fluorescent compound (for example, refer to Japanese Patent Publication Open to Public Inspection (hereafter referred to as JP-A) No. 63-264692); and an organic EL element which has an organic light emitting layer containing 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum complex as a host compound doped with a quinacridone type dye (for example, refer to JP-A No. 3-255190) When light emitted through excited singlet state is used in the organic EL element as disclosed in the above Patent documents, the upper limit of the external quantum efficiency (flext) is considered to be at most 5%, because the generation probability of excited species capable of emitting light is 25%, since the generation ratio of singlet excited species to triplet excited species is 1:3, and further, external light emission efficiency is 20%.
Since an organic EL element, employing phosphorescence through the excited triplet, has been reported by Prinston University (refer to M.A. Baldo et al., nature, 395, 151- 154(1998)), studies on materials emitting phosphorescence at room temperature have been actively carried out.
Examples are also reported in M.A. Baldo et al., Nature, 403(17), 750-753(2000) or in US Patent No. 6097147.
As the upper limit of the internal quantum efficiency of the excited triplet is 100%, the light emission efficiency of the exited triplet is theoretically four times higher than that of the excited singlet. Accordingly, light emission employing the excited triplet may enable almost the same performance as a cold cathode tube, and it is attracting attention to be applied as an illuminator.
For example, S. Lamansky et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 123, 4304 (2001) reports that many kinds of heavy metal complexes such as iridium complexes have been synthesized and studied.
In above mentioned M.A. Baldo et al., Nature, 403(17), 750-753 (2000), an example employing tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium as a dopant has been studied.
As other examples, M.E. Tornpson et al. have reported the application of L21r(acac) such as (ppy)21r(acac) as a dopant in the 10th International Workshop on Inorganic and Organic Electroluminescence (EL 00, Hamamatsu), and Moon-Jae Youn. Og, Tetsuo Tsutsui et al., have reported the application of tris(2-(p-tolyl)pyridine)iridjum (Ir(ptpy)3), and tris(benzo[h]quinoline)iridium (Ir(bzq)3) as a dopant in the 10th International Workshop on Inorganic and Organic Electroluminescence (EL 00, Hamamatsu) . These metal complexes are generally referred to as an ortho metalated iridium complex.
Also in aforementioned S. Lamansky et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 123, 4304 (2001), an application of various iridium complexes to an organic EL elements has been examined.
In order to obtain a higher emission efficiency, Ikai et al. have reported an application of a hole transport compound as a host material of a phosphorescent compound in the 10th International Workshop on Inorganic and Organic Electroluminescence (EL 00, Hamamatsu) . Also, M.E. Tompsori et al., have reported an application of various electron-transport compounds as a host material of a phosphorescent compound, which is further doped with a novel iridium complex.
An ortho metalated complex having platinum as a central metal instead of iridium is also attracting attention. Many examples of this type of complex having a characteristic ligand have been known (for example, refer to Patent Documents 1 -5) Since each of the above examples is related to phosphorescent emission, the luminance, and the emission efficiency are notably improved compared to the conventional organic EL elements, however, the emission life of each element have been shorter than those of the conventional organic EL elements. It has not been fully easy to overcome the problem of a high emission efficiency phosphorescent material that the emission wavelength tends to shift to a shorter wavelength range and that the emission life of the organic EL element is not fully long, and a fully satisfactory performance for the practical use has not been obtained.
As a material to improve the performance, known is an iridium complex or a platinum complex each having a phenyl imidazole derivative as a ligand (for example, refer to Patent Documents 6 -8) . However, the emission efficiencies exhibited by these complexes are not fully satisfactory, and a further improvement has been desired.

Examples of preferable constituting layer of the organic EL element are shown below, however, the present invention is not limited thereto.
(1) : Anode/Light emitting layer/Electron transporting layer/Cathode (ii): Anode/Hole transporting layer/Light emitting layer/Electron transporting layer/Cathode (iii): Anode/Hole transporting layer/Light emitting layer/ Hole blocking layer/Electron transporting layer/Cathode (iv) : Anode/Hole transporting layer/Light emitting layer/ Hole blocking layer/Electron transporting layer/Cathode buffer layer/Cathode (v) : Anode/Anode buffer layer/Hole transporting layer/Light emitting layer/Hole blocking layer/Electron transporting layer/Cathode buffer layer/Cathode <<Anode>> For the anode of the organic EL element, a metal, an alloy, or an electroconductive compound each having a high working function (not less than 4 eV), and mixture thereof are preferably used as the electrode material. Specific examples of such an electrode material include a metal such as Au, Cul and a transparent electroconductive material such as indium tin oxide (ITO), Sn02, or ZnO. A material capable of forming an amorphous and transparent conductive layer such as IDIXO (1n203-ZnO) may also be used. The anode may be prepared by forming a thin layer of the electrode material according to a depositing or spattering method, and by forming the layer into a desired pattern according to a photolithographic method. When required precision of the pattern is not so high (not less than 100 pm), the pattern may be formed by depositing or spattering of the electrode material through a mask having a desired form. When light is emitted through the anode, the transmittance of the anode is preferably 10% or more, and the sheet resistance of the anode is preferably not more than several hundred /E. The thickness of the layer is ordinarily within the range of from to 1000 nm, and preferably from 10 to 200 nm, although it may vary due to kinds of materials used.

Specific examples of such an electrode material include sodium, sodium-potassium alloy, magnesium, lithium, a magnesium/copper mixture, a magnesium/silver mixture, a magnesium/aluminum mixture, magnesium/indium mixture, an aluminum/aluminum oxide (Al203) mixture, indium, a lithium/aluminum mixture, and a rare-earth metal. Among them, a mixture of an electron injecting metal and a metal higher in the working function than that of the electron injecting metal, such as the magnesium/silver mixture, magnesium/aluminum mixture, magnesium/indium mixture, aluminum/aluminum oxide (A1203) mixture, lithium/aluminum mixture, or aluminum is suitable from the view point of the electron injecting ability and resistance to oxidation. The cathode can be prepared forming a thin layer of such an electrode material by a method such as a deposition or spattering method. The sheet resistance as the cathode is preferably not more than several hundred /D, and the thickness of the layer is ordinarily from 10 nm to 5 pm, and preferably from 50 to 200 nm. It is preferable in increasing the light emission efficiency that either the anode or the cathode of the organic EL element is transparent or semi-transparent.
After a layer of the metal described above as a cathode is formed to give a thickness of from 1 to 20 nm, a layer of the transparent electroconductive material as described in the anode may be formed on the resulting metal layer, whereby a transparent or semi-transparent cathode can be prepared.
Employing the cathode, an organic EL element can be manufactured in which both anode and cathode are transparent.

<<Light emitting layer>> The light emitting layer of the present invention is a layer where electrons and holes, injected from electrodes, an electron transporting layer or a hole transporting layer, are recombined to emit light. The portions where light is emitted may be in the light emitting layer or at the interface between the light emitting layer and the layer adjacent thereto.

Use of a plurality of host compounds makes the control of the transfer of electrons possible, and an organic EL element exhibiting higher light emission efficiency is obtained. Also, use of a plurality of phosphorescent compounds makes it possible to mix different colors of emitted light, and an arbitrary color of emitted light is obtained. Emission of white light is possible by adjusting the types and amounts of doping of mixed phosphorescent compounds, whereby application of the organic EL element to an illuminator or a backlight is possible.

The phosphorescent quantum yield can be measured in a solution employing various kinds of solvents. The guest compound used of the present invention is a compound, in which the phosphorescent quantum yield measured employing any one of the solvents falls within the above-described range.
The light emission of the guest compound is divided in two types in principle, one is an energy transfer type in which recombination of a carrier occurs on the host to which the carrier is transported to excite the host, the resulting energy is transferred to the phosphorescent compound, and light is emitted from the phosphorescent compound, and the other is a carrier trap type in which recombination of a carrier occurs on the phosphorescent compound which is a carrier trap material, and light is emitted from the phosphorescent compound. However, in each type, energy level of the phosphorescent compound in excited state is lower than that of the host in excited state.

The distyrylpyrazine derivative exemplified as a material for the light emitting layer may preferably be employed as the electron transporting material. An inorganic semiconductor such as n-Si and n-SiC may also be used as the electron transporting material in a similar way as in the hole transporting layer.
The electron transporting layer can be formed employing the above described electron transporting materials and a known method such as a vacuum deposition method, a spin coat method, a casting method, a printing method including an ink jet method or an LB method. The thickness of electron transporting layer is not specifically limited, however, is ordinarily 5 nm to 5 pm, and preferably 5 to 200 nm. The electron transporting layer may be composed of a single layer containing one or two or more of the electron transporting material.
<<Substrate>> The organic EL element of the present invention is preferably provided on a substrate.
The substrate (also referred to as base platbase or support) employed for the organic EL element of the present invention is not limited to specific kinds of materials such as glass and plastic, as far as it is transparent. Examples of the substrate preferably used include glass, quartz and light transmissible plastic film. Specifically preferred one is a resin film capable of providing flexibility to the organic EL element.
Examples of the resin film include films of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyethersulfone (PES), polyetherimide, polyetheretherketone, polyphenylene sulfide, polyarylate, polyimide, polycarbonate (PC), cellulose triacetate (TAC), cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) . The surface of the resin film may have a layer of an inorganic or organic compound or a hybrid layer of both compounds.
The external light emission efficiency (external quantum efficiency) of the organic EL element of the present invention is preferably not less than 1%, and more preferably not less than 5% at room temperature. Herein, external quantum yield (%) is represented by the following formula: External quantum yield (%) = (the number of photons emitted to the exterior of the organic electroluminescent element x 100)/(the number of electrons supplied to the organic EL element) A hue improving filter such as a color filter may be used in combination or a color conversion filter which can convert emission light color from an organic EL element to multi-color employing a fluorescent compound may be used in combination. In the case where the color conversion filter is used, the ?max of the light emitted from the organic EL element is preferably not more than 480 nm.
<<Preparation of Organic EL Element>> For one example, the preparation of the organic EL element, which has the following constitution will be described: Anode/Hole injecting layer/Hole transporting layer/Light emitting layer/Electron transporting layer/Electron injecting layer/Cathode.
A thin layer of a desired material for an electrode such as a material of the anode is formed on a suitable substrate by a vacuum deposition method or sputtering method to prepare the anode, so that the thickness of the layer is not more than 1 pm, and preferably within the range of from to 200 nm. Then the hole injecting layer, the hole transporting layer, the light emitting layer, the electron transporting layer and the electron injecting layer, which constitute the organic EL element, are formed on the resulting anode as organic compound thin layers.
As methods for formation of the thin layers, as the same as described above, there are a vacuum deposition method and a wet process (for example, a spin coating method, a casting method, an ink jet method, and a printing method), however, a vacuum deposition method, a spin coating method, an ink jet method and a printing method are preferably used, since a uniform layer without a pinhole can be formed.
Different methods may be used for formation of different layers. When the vacuum deposition method is used for the thin layer formation method, although conditions of the vacuum deposition differs due to kinds of materials used, vacuum deposition is preferably carried out at a boat temperature of from 50° C to 450° C, at a degree of vacuum of from 10-6 to 102 Pa, at a deposition speed of from 0.01 to 50 nm/second, and at a substrate temperature of from -50 to 300° o to form a layer with a thickness of from 0.1 nm to 5 pm, preferably from 5 to 200 nm.
After these layers has been formed, a thin layer of a material for a cathode is formed thereon to prepare a cathode, employing, for example, a vacuum deposition method or sputtering method to give a thickness of not more than 1 pm, and preferably from 50 to 200 nm. Thus, a desired organic EL element is obtained. It is preferred that the layers from the hole injecting layer to the cathode are continuously formed under one time of vacuuming to obtain an organic EL element. However, on the way of the layer formation under vacuum, a different layer formation method by taking the layer out of the vacuum chamber may be inserted.
When the different method is used, the process is preferably carried out under a dry inert gas atmosphere.
In the multicolor display of the present invention, the light emitting layer only is formed using a shadow mask, and the other layers, besides the light emitting layer, are formed employing a vacuum deposition method, a casting method, a spin coat method or a printing method in which patterning employing the shadow mask is not required, since these layers are common to all the pixels. When the light emitting layer only is formed by patterning, the layer formation, although not specifically limited, is carried out preferably according to a vacuum deposition method, an ink jet method or a printing method. When a vacuum deposition method is used as the layer formation method, patterning of the layer is preferably carried out employing a shadow mask.
Further, the organic EL element can be prepared in the reverse order, in which the cathode, the electron injecting layer, the electron transporting layer, the light emitting layer, the hole transporting layer, the hole injecting layer, and the anode are formed in that order. When a direct current voltage of 2 to 40 V is applied to thus obtained multicolor display, setting the anode as a + polarity and the cathode as a -polarity, light emission occurs. An alternating current may also be applied to cause light emission. Arbitrary wave shape of alternating current may be used.
The display of the present invention can be used as a display device, a display, or various light emission sources.
The display device or the display, which employs three kinds of organic EL elements emitting a blue light, a red light and a green light can present a full color image.
Examples of the display device or the display include a television, a personal computer, a mobile device or an AV device, a display for text broadcasting, and an information display used in a car. The display device may be used as specifically a display for reproducing a still image or a moving image. When the display device is used as a display for reproducing a moving image, the driving method may be either a simple matrix (passive matrix) method or an active matrix method.
Examples of an illuminator include a home lamp, a room lamp in a car, a backlight for a watch or a liquid crystal, a light source for boarding advertisement, a signal device, a light source for a photo memory medium, a light source for an electrophotographic copier, a light source for an optical communication instrument, and a light source for an optical sensor, however, are not limited thereto.
The organic EL element of the present invention may be an organic EL element having a resonator structure. The organic EL element having a resonator structure is applied to a light source for a photo-memory medium, a light source for an electrophotographic copier, a light source for an optical communication instrument, or a light source for a photo-sensor, however, its application is not limited thereto. In the above application, a laser oscillation may be carried out.
<<Display>> The organic EL element of the present invention can be used as a lamp such as an illuminating lamp or a light source for exposure, as a projection device for projecting an image, or as a display for directly viewing a still image or a moving image. When the element is used in a display for reproducing a moving image, the driving method may be either a simple matrix (passive matrix) method or an active matrix method. The display can present a full color image by employing three or more kinds of organic EL elements each emitting light with a different color. A monochromatic color, for example, a white color can be converted to BGR colors to form a full color image, employing a color filter.
Further, employing a color conversion filter, light color emitted from the organic EL element can be converted to another color or full color, where the Xmax of the light emitted from the organic EL element is preferably not more than 480 nm.
One example of the display containing the organic EL element of the present invention will be explained below employing Figures.
Fig. 1 is a schematic drawing of one example of a display containing an organic EL element. Fig. 1 is a display such as that of a cellular phone, displaying image information due to light emission from the organic EL.
A display 1 contains a display section A having plural pixels and a control section B carrying out image scanning based on image information to display an image in the display section A. The control section B is electrically connected to the display section A, transmits a scanning signal and an image data signal to each of the plural pixels based on image information from the exterior, and conducts image scanning which emits light from each pixel due to the scanning signal according to the image data signal, whereby an image is displayed on the display section A. Fig. 2 is a schematic drawing of a display section A. The display section A contains a substrate, plural pixels 3, and a wiring section containing plural scanning lines 5 and plural data lines 6. The main members of the display section A will be explained below. In Fig. 2, light from pixels 3 is emitted in the direction of an arrow.
The plural scanning lines 5 and plural data lines 6 of the wiring section 2 each are composed of an electroconductive material, the lines 5 and the lines 6 being crossed with each other at a right angle, and connected with the pixels 3 at the crossed points (not illustrated) The plural pixels 3, when the scanning signal is applied from the scanning lines 5, receive the data signal from the data lines 6, and emit light corresponding to the image data received. Provision of red light emitting pixels, green light emitting pixels, and blue light emitting pixels side by side on the same substrate can display a full color image.
Next, an emission process of pixels will be explained.
Fig. 3 is a schematic drawing of a pixel.
The pixel contains an organic EL element 10, a switching transistor 11, a driving transistor 12, and a capacitor 13. When a pixel with a red light emitting organic EL element, a pixel with a green light emitting organic EL element, and a pixel with a blue light emitting organic EL element are provided side by side on the same substrate, a full color image can be displayed.
In Fig. 3, an image data signal is applied through the data lines 6 from the control section B to a drain of the switching transistor 11, and when a scanning signal is applied to a gate of the switching transistor 11 through the scanning lines 5 from the control section B, the switching transistor 11 is switched on, and the image signal data applied to the drain is transmitted to the capacitor 13 and the gate of the driving transistor 12.
The capacitor 13 is charged according to the electric potential of the image data signal transmitted, and the driving transistor 12 is switched on. In the driving transistor 12, the drain is connected to an electric source line 7, and the source to an organic EL element 10. Current is supplied from the electric source line 7 to the organic EL element 10 according to the electric potential of the image data signal applied to the gate.
The scanning signal is transmitted to the next scanning line 5 according to the successive scanning of the control section B, the switching transistor 11 is switched off. Even if the switching transistor 11 is switched off, the driving transistor 12 is turned on since the capacitor 13 maintains a charged potential of image data signal, and light emission from the organic EL element 10 continues until the next scanning signal is applied. When the next scanning signal is applied according the successive scanning, the driving transistor 12 works according to an electric potential of the next image data signal synchronized with the scanning signal, and light is emitted from the organic EL element 10.
That is, light is emitted from the organic EL element in each of the plural pixels 3 due to the switching transistor 11 as an active element and the driving transistor 12 each being provided in the organic EL element 10 of each of the plural pixels 3. This emission process is called an active matrix process.
Herein, light emission from the organic EL element 10 may be emission with plural gradations according to image signal data of multiple value having plural gradation potentials, or emission due to on-off according to a binary value of the image data signals.
The electric potential of the capacitor 13 may maintain till the next application of the scanning signal, or may be discharged immediately before the next scanning signal is applied.
In the present invention, light emission may be carried out employing a passive matrix method as well as the active matrix method as described above. The passive matrix method is one in which light is emitted from the organic EL element according to the data signal only when the scanning signals are scanned.
Fig. 4 is a schematic drawing of a display employing a passive matrix method. In Fig. 4, pixels 3 are provided between the scanning lines 5 and the data lines 6, crossing with each other.
When scanning signal is applied to scanning line 5 according to successive scanning, pixel 3 connecting the scanning line 5 emits according to the image data signal.
The passive matrix method has no active element in the pixel 3, which reduces manufacturing cost of a display.
The materials of the present invention are also applicable to an organic EL element substantially emitting white light. White light is obtained by mixing plural colors by simultaneously emitting plural colors from plural light emitting materials. Examples of a combination of colors to obtain white light include: a combination containing three maximum emission wavelengths of three primary colors, namely, blue, green and red; and a combination containing a pair of maximum emission wavelengths of two complementary colors, for example, blue-yellow and blue green-orange.
A combination for obtaining plural color lights may be a combination of materials emitting fluorescence or phosphorescence (emitting dopants), or a combination of light emitting materials emitting fluorescence or phosphorescence, and colorants which emit light by absorbing light emitted from those light emitting-materials as excitation light. For an organic EL element emitting white light of the present invention, preferable is a combination of plural light emitting dopants.
Examples of a layer constitution to obtain plural color lights include: a method to incorporate plural emitting dopants in an emitting layer; a method to provide plural emitting layers and emitting dopants having different emission wavelengths are incorporated one by one in each emitting layer; and a method to provide matrix-arrayed minute pixels each having different emission wavelength.
In the preparation process of the white light emitting organic EL element of the present invention, patterning may be carried out while forming each layer, if necessary, for example, by using a metal mask or by inkjet printing.
Patterning may be carried out: only for electrodes, for electrodes and a light emitting layer, or for all the constituting layers.
Materials used for the light emitting layer are not specifically limited, and, for example, in the case of preparing a backlight of a liquid crystal display, arbitrary materials may be selected and combined from known light emitting materials including the iridium complexes or platinum complexes of the present invention to generate white light emission adjust the wavelength range corresponding to the CF (color filter) property.
The white light emitting organic EL element of the present invention may be utilized as various light sources or an illuminator, for example, as a kind of lamp such as a home lamp, a room lamp in a car, or a developing lamp, or for a display such as a backlight for a liquid crystal display.
It is also usable for a wide range of application, for example, as a backlight for a watch, a light source for boarding advertisement, a signal device, a light source for a photo memory medium, a light source for an electrophotographic copier, a light source for an optical communication instrument or a light source for an optical sensor, or in electric home appliances using a display.

Then the resulting transparent substrate having the ITO transparent electrode was subjected to ultrasonic washing in i-propyl alcohol, dried with a dry nitrogen gas and subjected to UV-ozone cleaning for 5 minutes. Thus obtained transparent substrate was fixed on a substrate holder of a vacuum deposition (evaporation) apparatus available on the market. Further, 200 mg of a-NPD was placed in a first resistive heating molybdenum boat, 200 mg of CBP as a host material was put in a second resistive heating molybdenum boat, 200 mg of bathocuproine (BCP) was placed in a third resistive heating molybdenum boat, 100 mg of D-l was placed in a fourth resistive heating molybdenum boat, and 200 mg of A1q3 was placed in a fifth resistive heating molybdenum boat. The resulting boats were set in the vacuum deposition apparatus.
The pressure in the vacuum tank was reduced to 4 x i0 Pa. Then, the boat carrying cx-NPID being heated by supplying an electric current to the boat, a-NPD was deposited onto the transparent substrate at a depositing rate of 0.1 nm/sec to form a hole transporting layer of a thickness of 40 nm.
After that, the boat carrying CBP and the boat carrying D-l being heated by supplying an electric current to both boats, CBP at a depositing rate of 0.2 nm/sec and D-l at a depositing rate of 0.012 nm/sec were co-deposited onto the resulting hole transporting layer to form a light emitting layer of a thickness of 40 nm. The temperature of the substrate at the time of the deposition was room temperature.
Subsequently, the boat carrying BCP being heated by supplying an electric current to the boat, BCP was deposited onto the resulting light emitting layer at a depositing speed of 0.1 nm/sec to form an electron transporting layer which also worked as a hole blocking layer of a thickness of 10 nm.
Further, the boat carrying A1q3 being heated by supplying an electric current to the boat, A1q3 was deposited onto the resulting electron transporting layer at a depositing rate of 0.1 nm/sec to form an electron injecting layer of a thickness of 40 nm. The temperature of the substrate at the time of the deposition was room temperature.
After that, a 0.5 nm thick lithium fluoride layer and a nm thick aluminum layer were deposited on the resulting material to form a cathode. Thus, Organic EL Element 1-1 was prepared.
<< Preparation of Organic EL Elements 1-2 to 1-20>> Organic EL Elements 1-2 to 1-20 were prepared in the same manner as Organic EL Element 1-1, except that CBP used as a host compound of the emitting layer in Organic EL Element 1-1 was replaced with the compounds listed in Table 1 and that D-l used as an emission dopant of the emitting layer in Organic EL Element 1-1 was replaced with the compounds listed in Table 1.
