ものの概ね2種類に分けられる。On the other hand, a thin film EL element made of an organic polymer has also been receiving attention because of the inherent possibility that the manufacturing method for the thin film EL element may lead to a reduction in cost such as coating and printing and an increase in size. Polymer thin-film EL elements are roughly divided into two types: those composed of a luminescent polymer having a luminescent group in the main chain or side chain of the polymer, and those in which a luminescent material is dispersed in the polymer. .

In a low-molecular-weight system, a first emission color material is deposited using a mask cut into a desired pattern at the time of evaporation, and a mask or a substrate is moved so as not to overlap with the first emission color material, so that the second emission color is removed. A plurality of luminescent color materials can be arranged on the same plane such that a color material is deposited and a third luminescent color material is deposited so as not to overlap the first and second luminescent color materials.

In addition, purification is said to be the key to the improvement of properties such as efficiency and long life in polymer systems. Therefore, the step of including a photosensitive compound in the light-emitting layer is not preferable because it contains ions as a reaction initiator or a reactant, and acts as an impurity, causing deterioration of characteristics during long-term operation. Furthermore, when the light-emitting layer is exposed to light, ultraviolet rays are directly irradiated to a portion acting as a light-emitting group, thereby causing deterioration. Particularly, when a negative resist is used, a portion to be left as a light-emitting layer is irradiated with ultraviolet light. There has been a problem that the luminescent group is deteriorated due to decomposition, isomerization and the like.

の電子注入材料も好ましい。In the form of the thin-film EL device, a hole transport layer is provided between the light emitting layer and the anode, and between the light emitting layer and the cathode, respectively.
Preferably, an electron transport layer is formed. Generally, since the hole transport layer is sequentially formed on the transparent substrate on which the transparent electrode is formed, it is necessary to select a material that does not dissolve when the light emitting layer is formed by coating. Therefore, a derivative having triphenylamine having excellent hole transport properties as a basic skeleton is dispersed in the above-mentioned thermosetting resin or heat-resistant polymer, and cured after coating to form a hole transport layer having excellent insolubilization or solvent resistance. Good to do. Examples of the triphenylamine derivative include tetraphenylbenzidine compounds described in JP-A-7-126615, triphenylamine trimer and benzidine dimer, various triphenyldiamine derivatives described in JP-A-8-48656, JP-A-7-65958
MTPD (commonly known as TPD), tristriamine, and the like described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-260, 1988 are preferable. Alternatively, since a vapor-deposited film of a phthalocyanine compound such as copper phthalocyanine, titanyl phthalocyanine, or metal-free phthalocyanine, which is a hole injecting material, is an insoluble film, a hole transport layer may be formed therefrom. In forming the electron transport layer, since the light emitting layer is insolubilized, a polymer layer may be applied and formed, or a low molecule may be deposited. Examples of the polymer electron transport material include polyfluorene and a polymer having oxadiazole in a main chain or a side chain.

-Pyrazol-1-yl) pyrazabole and the like, 3- (2'-benzothiazolyl) -7-diethylaminocoumarin and the like.

IE) and the like. A general-purpose type such as a barrel type or a parallel plate type may be used.
r gas or the like may be introduced at the same time. When performing patterning using a resist pattern, it is necessary to perform etching in a soft state before curing. After curing by heat treatment, the thermosetting resin, heat-resistant polymer, and the like contained in the light emitting layer have a lower etching rate than the resist. Therefore, since the resist is etched earlier than the light emitting layer is etched, a pattern cannot be obtained. When a metal mask is used, it may be cured, but it is not preferable because the power of etching needs to be increased, so that the light emitting layer is particularly damaged by the light emitting group and leads to a decrease in efficiency.

00nm以上の厚さで用いられることが多い。The thin-film EL element can emit surface light by making at least one electrode transparent or translucent. Usually, an ITO (indium tin oxide) film is often used for an anode serving as a hole injection electrode. Other examples include tin oxide, Ni, Au, Pt, and Pd. For the purpose of improving the transparency or reducing the resistivity of the ITO film, a film forming method such as sputtering, electron beam evaporation, or ion plating is employed. The film thickness is determined from the required sheet resistance value and the visible light transmittance. However, since the driving current density is relatively high in the thin-film EL element, the film thickness is reduced by 1 to reduce the sheet resistance value.
It is often used with a thickness of 00 nm or more.

The proposed MgAg alloy or AlLi alloy,
In many cases, an alloy of a metal having a low work function and a low electron injection barrier and a metal having a relatively large work function and being stable is used. Further, a metal having a low work function may be formed on the organic layer side, and a metal having a large work function may be thickly laminated for the purpose of protecting the metal having a low work function, such as Li / Al or LiF / Al.
Such a laminated electrode can be used. For forming these cathodes, a vapor deposition method or a sputtering method is preferable. When an electron injecting material such as dilithium phthalocyanine, disodium phthalocyanine, magnesium porphine, 4,4,8,8-tetrakis (1H-pyrazol-1-yl) pyrazaball is used, a metal having a large work function and a stable metal function is used. Since the electrode can be constituted only by the electrode, the electrode is hardly subjected to a reaction such as oxidation and the life characteristics can be improved.
