DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescent device and a novel hydrocarbon compound which can be suitably used for the device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an inorganic electroluminescent element has been used as a panel-type light source such as a backlight. However, driving the light emitting element requires a high AC voltage. Recently, an organic electroluminescent device (organic electroluminescent device: organic EL device) using an organic material as a light emitting material has been developed [Appl. Phys. Lett., 51, 9].
13 (1987)]. An organic electroluminescent element has a structure in which a thin film containing a fluorescent organic compound is sandwiched between an anode and a cathode, and electrons and holes are injected into the thin film and recombined to form excitons. (Exciton), and emits light using light emitted when the exciton is deactivated. The organic electroluminescent element can emit light at a low DC voltage of about several volts to several tens of volts, and can have various colors (for example, red, blue, and green) by selecting the type of the fluorescent organic compound. Light emission is possible. Organic electroluminescent devices having such characteristics are expected to be applied to various light emitting devices, display devices, and the like. However, in general, the emission luminance is low and is not practically sufficient.

As a method for improving the light emission luminance, an organic electroluminescent device using, for example, tris (8-quinolinolato) aluminum as a host compound, a coumarin derivative or a pyran derivative as a guest compound (dopant) has been proposed as a light emitting layer. [J. Appl. Phys., 65, 3610 (19
89)]. Further, as the light emitting layer, for example, bis (2-methyl-8-quinolinolate) (4-phenylphenolate)
An organic electroluminescent device using aluminum as a host compound and an acridone derivative (for example, N-methyl-2-methoxyacridone) as a guest compound has been proposed (JP-A-8-67873). However, it is difficult to say that these light emitting elements also have sufficient light emission luminance. At present, an organic electroluminescent device that emits light with higher luminance is desired.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an organic electroluminescent device which is excellent in luminous efficiency and emits light with high luminance. Another object is to provide a novel hydrocarbon compound that can be suitably used for the light-emitting element.
