Description

  The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescence element used for a planar light source and display. More specifically, the present invention relates to a red light emitting organic electroluminescent element and a material for an organic electroluminescent element that exhibit high color purity and luminance at a low driving voltage.

  An organic electroluminescence (EL) element that emits light when an electron injected from a cathode and a hole injected from an anode are recombined in an organic phosphor sandwiched between these two electrodes is a solid light emitting display element. In recent years, research and development has been actively conducted.

This study was conducted by Eastman Kodak's C.I. W. Tang et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, published in 1987, which originated from an EL element with an organic thin film laminated. In this report, a metal chelate complex is used for the light emitting layer and an amine compound is used for the hole injection layer. Thus, green light emission having a luminance of several thousand (cd / m ² ) at a DC voltage of 6 to 10 V and a maximum luminous efficiency of 1.5 (lm / W) is obtained. It can be said that the organic EL elements currently being developed by various research institutes basically follow the configuration of Eastman Kodak Company.

  Among organic EL elements, organic EL elements that emit red light have been researched for elements using various materials because of their usefulness, but a method such as co-evaporation of a small amount of dopant in the host material. A method of forming a light-emitting layer by mixing them to obtain light emission from a dopant has been studied as an effective method. As such an example, C.I. H. Chen et al., Macromol. Symp. 125, 34-36 and 49-58, published in 1997, tris (8-hydroxyquinolinate) aluminum as a host material and 4H such as DCM, DCJ, DCJT, DCJTB -An organic EL device capable of emitting orange to red light using a pyran derivative as a dopant has been reported.

  As for organic EL devices using a compound having a perylene structure, for example, JP-A-10-251633, JP-A-11-144869, JP-A-2001-11031, JP-A-2001-176664, JP-A-2002-129043 and JP-A-2003-201472 are known.

By the way, in recent years, organic EL devices using a condensed aromatic compound having a fluoranthene skeleton to which an arylamino group is bonded described in JP-A No. 2003-238516 clearly show good light emission luminance, light emission efficiency, and color purity. It was done.
Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, 1987 Macromol. Symp. 125, 34-36 and 49-58, 1997 JP-A-10-251633 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-144869 JP 2001-11031 A JP 2001-176664 A JP 2002-129043 A JP 2003-201472 A JP 2003-238516 A

  The organic EL element for obtaining red high-intensity light emission described in the prior art has a drawback of poor color purity. An organic EL device using a 4H-pyran derivative as a dopant has a problem that the emission color is insufficient, the driving voltage is high, and the emission luminance is low. In the case of an organic EL device using a compound having a perylene structure, the emission peak width is wide and the color purity is insufficient. Furthermore, the organic EL element using the condensed aromatic compound having a fluoranthene skeleton has a drawback that the driving voltage is high although an element with high color purity can be produced. Therefore, there has been a demand for an organic EL element capable of emitting red light with a lower driving voltage and obtaining red light emission exhibiting high color purity and luminance.

As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have arrived at the present invention. That is, the present invention relates to an organic electroluminescence device material comprising an amine compound represented by the following general formula [1] and a condensed aromatic compound having a fluoranthene skeleton represented by the following general formula [2]. .
