Abstract
Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、有機エレクトロルミネッセンス(以下、有機ELとも略記する)素子及びそれを用いた表示装置に関するものである。詳しくいえば、本発明は発光輝度に優れた有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子及び本発明の有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子を有する表示装置である。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
発光型の電子ディスプレイデバイスとして、エレクトロルミネッセンスディスプレイ(ELD)がある。ELDの構成要素としては、無機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子や有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子が挙げられる。無機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子は平面型光源として使用されてきたが、発光素子を駆動させるためには交流の高電圧が必要である。有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子は、発光する化合物を含有する発光層を、陰極と陽極で挟んだ構成を有し、発光層に電子及び正孔を注入して、再結合させることにより励起子(エキシトン)を生成させ、このエキシトンが失活する際の光の放出(蛍光・燐光)を利用して発光する素子であり、数V〜数十V程度の電圧で発光が可能であり、さらに、自己発光型であるために視野角に富み、視認性が高く、薄膜型の完全固体素子であるために省スペース、携帯性等の観点から注目されている。
【0003】
しかしながら、今後の実用化に向けた有機EL素子には、更なる低消費電力で効率よく高輝度に発光する有機EL素子の開発が望まれている。
【0004】
これまで、様々な有機EL素子が報告されている。たとえば、Appl.Phys.Lett.,Vol.51、913頁、あるいは特開昭59−194393号に記載の正孔注入層と有機発光体層とを組み合わせたもの、特開昭63−295695号に記載の正孔注入層と電子注入輸送層とを組み合わせたもの、Jpn.Journal of Applied Phisycs,vol.127,No.2第269〜271頁に記載の正孔移動層と発光層と電子移動層とを組み合わせたものがそれぞれ開示されている。しかしながら、より高輝度な素子が求められており、エネルギー変換効率、発光量子効率の更なる向上が期待されている。
【0005】
また、発光寿命が短いという問題点も指摘されている。こうした経時での輝度劣化の要因は完全には解明されていないが、発光中のエレクトロルミネッセンス素子は自ら発する光及びその時に発生する熱などによって薄膜を構成する有機化合物自体の分解、薄膜中での有機化合物の結晶化等、有機EL素子材料である有機化合物に由来する要因も指摘されている。
【0006】
また、電子輸送材料は、現在のところ知見が少なく、反結合軌道を利用することも相俟って、実用に耐える有用なる高性能電子輸送材料は見いだされていない。例えば、九州大学の研究グループは、オキサジアゾール系誘導体である2−(4−ビフェニル)−5−(4−t−ブチルフェニル)−1,3,4−オキサジゾール(t−BuPBD)をはじめ、薄膜安定性を向上させたオキサジアゾール二量体系誘導体の1,3−ビス(4−t−ブチルフェニル−1,3,4−オキサジゾジル)ビフェニレン(OXD−1)、1,3−ビス(4−t−ブチルフェニル−1,3,4−オキサジゾリル)フェニレン(OXD−7)(Jpn.J.Appl.Phys.vol.31(1992),p.1812)を提案している。また、山形大学の研究グループは、電子ブロック性に優れたトリアゾール系電子輸送材料を用いることにより白色発光の素子を作製している(Science,3 March 1995,Vol.267,p.1332)。さらに、特開平5−331459号には、フェナントロリン誘導体が電子輸送材料として有用であることが記載されている。
【0007】
しかし、従来の電子輸送材料では、薄膜形成能が低く、容易に結晶化が起こるため、発光素子が破壊されてしまう問題があり、実用に耐える素子性能を発現できなかった。
【0008】
これらの問題を解決する有機エレクトロルミネッセンス材料として、分子内にケイ素原子を含む化合物を発光材料、または電子輸送材料として用いる例が開示されているが、発光効率及び発光寿命の両立については十分ではなかった(例えば、特許文献1、2及び3参照。)。
【0009】
この他にもケイ素系の化合物を有機EL素子に適用する例としては、例えば特開2000−351966号、特開平11−3781号には、正孔輸送材料、発光材料、電子輸送材料として適用できることが示されているが、何れの場合も発光特性や寿命の点で問題があった。
【0010】
また、発光層をホスト化合物及び微量の蛍光体で構成することにより、発光効率の向上を達成するという手法が報告されている。例えば、米国特許第3,093,796号では、スチルベン誘導体、ジスチリルアリーレン誘導体、またはトリススチリルアリーレン誘導体に、微量の蛍光体をドープし、発光輝度の向上、素子の長寿命化を達成している。
【0011】
また、8−ヒドロキシキノリンアルミニウム錯体をホスト化合物として、これに微量の蛍光体をドープした有機発光層を有する素子(例えば、特許文献4参照。)、8−ヒドロキシキノリンアルミニウム錯体をホスト化合物として、これにキナクリドン系色素をドープした有機発光層を有する素子(例えば、特許文献5参照。)が知られている。以上のように、蛍光量子収率の高い蛍光体をドープすることによって、従来の素子に比べて発光輝度を向上させている。
【0012】
しかし、上記のドープされる微量の蛍光体からの発光は、励起一重項からの発光であり、励起一重項からの発光を用いる場合、一重項励起子と三重項励起子の生成比が1:3であるため、発光性励起種の生成確率が25%であることと、光の取り出し効率が約20%であるため、外部取り出し量子効率(ηext)の限界は5%とされている。ところが、プリンストン大から励起三重項からの燐光発光を用いる有機EL素子が報告がされて以来(M.A.Baldo et al.,nature、395巻、151〜154ページ(1998年))、室温で燐光を示す材料の研究が活発になってきている(例えば、M.A.Baldo et al.,nature、403巻、17号、750〜753ページ(2000年)、米国特許6,097,147号など)。励起三重項を使用すると、内部量子効率の上限が100%となるため、励起一重項の場合に比べて原理的に発光効率が最大4倍となり、冷陰極管とほぼ同等の性能が得られ、照明用にも応用可能であり注目されている。
【0013】
燐光性化合物をドーパントとして用いるときのホストは、燐光性化合物の発光極大波長よりも短波な領域に発光極大波長を有することが必要であることはもちろんであるが、その他にも満たすべき条件があることが分かってきた。
【0014】
The 10th International Workshop on Inorganic and Organic Electroluminescence(EL ’00、浜松)では、燐光性化合物についていくつかの報告がなされている。例えば、Ikaiらはホール輸送性の化合物を、燐光性化合物のホストとして用いている。また、M.E.Tompsonらは、各種電子輸送性材料を燐光性化合物のホストとして、これらに新規なイリジウム錯体をドープして用いている。さらに、Tsutsuiらは、ホールブロック層の導入により高い発光効率を得ている。
【0015】
なお、ホールブロック層とは、通常の有機EL素子で使われている電子輸送層と構成的には同じものであるが、その機能が電子輸送機能よりも発光層から陰極側に漏れ出すホールの移動を阻止する機能が有力であるために、ホールブロック層と名付けられているものであり、一種の電子輸送層と解釈することもできる。
【0016】
従って本願においてはホールブロック層も電子輸送層と称すこととし、その層で用いられる材料(ホールブロッカー)も電子輸送材料と称す。
【0017】
燐光性化合物のホスト化合物については、例えば、C.Adachi et al.,Appl.Phys.Lett.,77巻、904ページ(2000年)等に詳しく記載されているが、高輝度の有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子を得るためにホスト化合物に必要とされる性質について、より新しい観点からのアプローチが必要である。
【0018】
しかし、いずれの報告も、素子の発光輝度の向上及び耐久性を両立しうる構成は得られていない。

【実施例】
以下、実施例を挙げて本発明を詳細に説明するが、本発明の態様はこれに限定されない。
【0056】
実施例1
〈有機EL素子の作製〉
陽極として100mm×100mm×1.1mmのガラス基板上にITO(インジウムチンオキシド)を150nm成膜した基板(NHテクノグラス社製NA−45)にパターニングを行った後、このITO透明電極を設けた透明支持基板をイソプロピルアルコールで超音波洗浄し、乾燥窒素ガスで乾燥し、UVオゾン洗浄を5分間行なった。
【0057】
この透明支持基板を、市販の真空蒸着装置の基板ホルダーに固定し、一方、モリブデン製抵抗加熱ボートに、m−MTDATXAを200mg入れ、別のモリブデン製抵抗加熱ボートにDMPhenを200mg入れ、別のモリブデン製抵抗加熱ボートにバソキュプロイン(BCP)を200mg入れ、別のモリブデン製抵抗加熱ボートに比較化合物1を100mg入れ、さらに別のモリブデン製抵抗加熱ボートにAlq3を200mg入れ、真空蒸着装置に取付けた。次いで、真空槽を4×10−4Paまで減圧した後、m−MTDATXAの入った前記加熱ボートに通電して加熱し、蒸着速度0.1nm/secで透明支持基板に蒸着し、膜厚45nmの正孔輸送層を設けた。さらに、DMPhenと比較化合物1の入った前記加熱ボートに通電して加熱し、それぞれ蒸着速度0.1nm/sec、0.01nm/secで前記正孔輸送層上に共蒸着して膜厚20nmの発光層を設けた。なお、蒸着時の基板温度は室温であった。さらに、BCPの入った前記加熱ボートに通電して加熱し、蒸着速度0.1nm/secで前記発光層の上に蒸着して膜厚10nmの正孔阻止の役割も兼ねた電子輸送層を設けた。その上に、さらに、Alq3の入った前記加熱ボートに通電して加熱し、蒸着速度0.1nm/secで前記電子輸送層の上に蒸着して更に膜厚40nmの電子注入層を設けた。なお、蒸着時の基板温度は室温であった。
【0058】
次に、LiFを0.5nm及びAlを110nm蒸着して陰極を形成し、有機EL素子OLED1−1を作製した。
【0059】
上記において、発光層の比較化合物1を表1に示す化合物に置き換えた以外は全く同じ方法で、有機EL素子OLED1−2〜1−8を作製した。
【0060】
上記で使用した化合物の構造を以下に示す。
【0061】
【化8】
【0062】
【化9】
【0063】
〈有機EL素子の評価〉
以下のようにして得られた有機EL素子の評価を行い、結果を表1に示す。
【0064】
(発光輝度)
有機EL素子OLED1−1では、初期駆動電圧3Vで電流が流れ始め、青色の発光を示した。有機EL素子OLED1−1の温度23℃、乾燥窒素ガス雰囲気下で10V直流電圧を印加した時の発光輝度(cd/m2)、発光効率(lm/W)を測定した。
【0065】
発光輝度、発光効率は有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子OLED1−1を100とした時の相対値で表した。発光輝度については、CS−1000(ミノルタ製)を用いて測定した。
【0066】
(耐久性)
10mA/cm2の一定電流で駆動したときに初期輝度が元の半分に低下するのに要した時間である半減寿命時間を指標として表した。半減寿命時間は有機EL素子OLED1−1を100とした時の相対値で表した。
【0067】
【表1】
【0068】

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescence (hereinafter abbreviated as organic EL) element and a display device using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to an organic electroluminescent element having excellent emission luminance and a display device having the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a light emitting type electronic display device, there is an electroluminescence display (ELD). ELD components include an inorganic electroluminescent element and an organic electroluminescent element. Inorganic electroluminescent devices have been used as flat light sources, but require a high AC voltage to drive the light emitting devices. An organic electroluminescence element has a configuration in which a light-emitting layer containing a compound that emits light is sandwiched between a cathode and an anode. Electrons and holes are injected into the light-emitting layer and recombined to generate excitons (excitons). An element that emits light by utilizing the light emission (fluorescence / phosphorescence) when the exciton is generated and deactivated, and can emit light at a voltage of about several V to several tens of volts. Because of this, it is rich in viewing angle, has high visibility, and is a thin-film type completely solid-state device, which has attracted attention from the viewpoint of space saving and portability.
[0003]
However, development of an organic EL element that emits light with high efficiency and low power consumption is desired for an organic EL element for practical use in the future.
[0004]
Until now, various organic EL devices have been reported. For example, Appl. Phys. Lett. , Vol. 51, 913, or a combination of a hole injection layer and an organic luminescent layer described in JP-A-59-194393, and a hole injection layer and an electron injection-transport layer described in JP-A-63-295695. , Jpn. Journal of Applied Physics, vol. 127, no. 2, pages 269-271, each of which discloses a combination of a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, and an electron transport layer. However, devices with higher luminance are required, and further improvements in energy conversion efficiency and emission quantum efficiency are expected.
[0005]
In addition, it has been pointed out that the light emission lifetime is short. Although the cause of such luminance deterioration over time has not been completely elucidated, the electroluminescent element that emits light decomposes the organic compound itself that constitutes the thin film due to the light emitted by itself and the heat generated at that time. Factors derived from organic compounds, which are organic EL device materials, such as crystallization of organic compounds, have also been pointed out.
[0006]
At present, electron transport materials are scarcely known, and there is no useful high-performance electron transport material that can withstand practical use due to the use of antibonding orbitals. For example, a research group at Kyushu University has begun studying 2- (4-biphenyl) -5- (4-t-butylphenyl) -1,3,4-oxadizole (t-BuPBD), which is an oxadiazole derivative. Oxadiazole dimer derivatives 1,3-bis (4-t-butylphenyl-1,3,4-oxadizodyl) biphenylene (OXD-1) and 1,3-bis (4 -T-butylphenyl-1,3,4-oxadizolyl) phenylene (OXD-7) (Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. Vol. 31 (1992), p. 1812). In addition, a research group at Yamagata University has manufactured a white light-emitting device by using a triazole-based electron transporting material having excellent electron blocking properties (Science, 3 March 1995, Vol. 267, p. 1332). Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-331559 describes that a phenanthroline derivative is useful as an electron transport material.
[0007]
However, the conventional electron transport material has a low ability to form a thin film and is easily crystallized, so that there is a problem that the light emitting element is destroyed, and the element performance that can withstand practical use cannot be exhibited.
[0008]
As an organic electroluminescent material that solves these problems, an example is disclosed in which a compound containing a silicon atom in a molecule is used as a light emitting material or an electron transporting material, but it is not enough to achieve both luminous efficiency and luminescent lifetime. (See, for example,
[0009]
In addition, examples of applying a silicon-based compound to an organic EL device include, for example, JP-A-2000-351966 and JP-A-11-3781 that a silicon-based compound can be applied as a hole transporting material, a light emitting material, and an electron transporting material. However, in each case, there were problems in light emission characteristics and life.
[0010]
In addition, a method has been reported in which the light-emitting layer is composed of a host compound and a small amount of a phosphor to achieve an improvement in luminous efficiency. For example, in US Pat. No. 3,093,796, a stilbene derivative, a distyrylarylene derivative, or a tristyrylarylene derivative is doped with a small amount of a phosphor to achieve an improvement in light emission luminance and a longer device life. I have.
[0011]
Further, an element having an organic light-emitting layer in which an 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum complex is used as a host compound and a small amount of a phosphor is added thereto (see Patent Document 4, for example), and an 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum complex as a host compound is used. (See, for example, Patent Document 5) having an organic light emitting layer doped with a quinacridone dye. As described above, by doping the phosphor having a high fluorescence quantum yield, the emission luminance is improved as compared with the conventional device.
[0012]
However, the light emission from the doped small amount of phosphor is light emission from an excited singlet. When light emission from an excited singlet is used, the generation ratio between a singlet exciton and a triplet exciton is 1: 1. 3, the generation probability of the luminescent excited species is 25%, and the light extraction efficiency is about 20%. Therefore, the limit of the external extraction quantum efficiency (ηext) is 5%. However, since Princeton University reported an organic EL device using phosphorescence emission from an excited triplet (MA Baldo et al., Nature, 395, 151-154 (1998)), the temperature was kept at room temperature. Research into phosphorescent materials has become active (e.g., MA Baldo et al., Nature, 403, 17, 750-753 (2000); U.S. Patent 6,097,147). Such). When the excited triplet is used, the upper limit of the internal quantum efficiency is 100%. Therefore, the luminous efficiency is up to four times in principle compared to the case of the excited singlet, and the performance almost equal to that of the cold cathode tube is obtained. It can also be used for lighting and is attracting attention.
[0013]
When the phosphorescent compound is used as a dopant, the host needs to have a light emission maximum wavelength in a shorter wavelength region than the light emission maximum wavelength of the phosphorescent compound, but there are other conditions to be satisfied. I understand that.
[0014]
In The 10th International Works on Inorganic and Organic Electroluminescence (EL '00, Hamamatsu), several reports have been made on phosphorescent compounds. For example, Ikai et al. Use a hole transporting compound as a host for a phosphorescent compound. Further, M. E. FIG. Tompson et al. Use various electron transporting materials as a host of a phosphorescent compound and dope them with a novel iridium complex. Further, Tsutsui et al. Obtain high luminous efficiency by introducing a hole blocking layer.
[0015]
The hole blocking layer is structurally the same as the electron transporting layer used in a normal organic EL device, but has a function of a hole leaking from the light emitting layer to the cathode side more than the electron transporting function. Since the function of preventing movement is influential, it is called a hole block layer, and can be interpreted as a kind of electron transport layer.
[0016]
Therefore, in the present application, the hole block layer is also referred to as an electron transport layer, and the material (hole blocker) used in the layer is also referred to as an electron transport material.
[0017]
As for the host compound of the phosphorescent compound, for example, C.I. Adachi et al. , Appl. Phys. Lett. 77, p. 904 (2000), etc., but it is necessary to take a newer approach to the properties required for the host compound in order to obtain a high-brightness organic electroluminescent device. .
[0018]
However, none of the reports has obtained a configuration capable of achieving both improvement in light emission luminance and durability of the device.

Example 1
<Preparation of organic EL element>
After patterning was performed on a substrate (NA-45 manufactured by NH Techno Glass Co., Ltd.) on which 150 nm of ITO (indium tin oxide) was formed on a glass substrate of 100 mm × 100 mm × 1.1 mm as an anode, the ITO transparent electrode was provided.
