Description

  The present invention relates to an organic EL light emitting device and a method for manufacturing the same.

  In the organic light emitting device, a hole transport layer made of at least a hole transport material and an organic light emitting layer made of an organic light emitting material are formed between two opposing electrodes. In this specification, these layers are collectively referred to as an organic light emitting medium layer. The organic light emitting device emits light by passing a current through these organic light emitting medium layers. However, the thickness of the organic light emitting layer is important for efficient light emission, and it is necessary to form a thin film of about 100 nm. Furthermore, in order to make this a display panel, it is necessary to pattern it with high definition.

  The organic light emitting material for forming the organic light emitting layer includes a low molecular material and a high molecular material. Generally, a low molecular material is formed into a thin film by a vacuum deposition method or the like, and is patterned using a fine pattern mask at this time. This method has a problem that the larger the substrate is, the less patterning accuracy is obtained. In addition, since the film is formed in a vacuum, there is a problem that the throughput is poor.

  Therefore, recently, a method of forming a thin film by a wet coating method in which a polymer material or a low molecular material is dissolved in a solvent to form a coating solution has been tried. The wet coating method for forming a thin film includes a spin coating method, a bar coating method, a slit coating method, a dip coating method, and the like. It is difficult to use the wet coating method, and it is thought that thin film formation by the printing method, which is good at coating and patterning, is most effective.

  However, when these organic organic light-emitting materials are dissolved or dispersed in a solvent to obtain an organic light-emitting ink, the concentration needs to be about 1% because of the solubility of the organic light-emitting material. As a method for printing this organic light-emitting ink, an offset printing method using an elastic rubber blanket (Patent Document 1), a relief printing method using an elastic rubber plate or resin plate (Patent Document 2), and an inkjet Law (Patent Document 3) and the like have been proposed.

  The offset printing method is a method of printing by applying ink to a plate on which image lines are formed, transferring the ink to a smooth blanket with elasticity, and further transferring the ink from the blanket to the substrate to be printed. The ink on the blanket before printing on the substrate to be printed is in a semi-dry state, and the ink pattern in the semi-dry state is transferred and printed on the substrate to be printed. However, the blanket used for offset printing has a problem that it easily swells and deforms with respect to the aromatic organic solvent used in the organic light emitting ink.

  On the other hand, when an organic light emitting layer is formed on a substrate to be printed by a relief printing method or an ink jet method, an organic light emitting ink having a concentration of about 1% is transferred to the substrate to be printed as it is. Therefore, when the organic light emitting ink is divided into RGB three colors, the organic light emitting ink spreads to adjacent pixels, resulting in color mixing. Accordingly, it has been proposed to provide partition walls to suppress the spread of the ink and to print organic light-emitting ink in the pixel electrodes partitioned by the partition walls.

  The letterpress printing method refers to all printing methods that use a plate whose image area has a convex shape, that is, a letterpress, in a broad sense, but the letterpress printing method described in the present invention uses a letterpress made of a rubber plate or a resin plate. The printing method will be shown. In the printing industry, those using rubber letterpress are called flexographic printing, and those using resin letterpress are distinguished from resin letterpress printing. In the present invention, the two are called letterpress printing methods without any particular distinction. The rubber plates and resin plates used in the relief printing method are mainly photosensitive rubber plates and resin plates at present, but the materials of the relief plates are diversified, and there is no distinction between photosensitive rubber plates and photosensitive resin plates. In the present invention, this distinction is not particularly provided, and both are called photosensitive resin relief plates.

  A photosensitive resin relief plate is a relief plate that is formed by exposing the photosensitive resin using a mask that transmits light only to the image line area, curing the image line area, and washing away the uncured portion with a detergent or the like. However, there are a solvent development type mainly washed out with a solvent and a water development type washed out with water, which differ depending on whether the plate material has a hydrophobic component as a main component or a hydrophilic component as a main component. The solvent-developable photosensitive resin relief printing plate, the main component of which is a hydrophobic component, is not resistant to aromatic organic solvents such as toluene and xylene used as organic light-emitting ink solvents, and is not suitable as a plate material for organic EL printing. Is appropriate. However, water-developable photosensitive resin relief plates that are hydrophilic components have high resistance to aromatic organic solvents.

  The ink jet method is a method in which an organic light emitting ink is dropped onto an area to be printed from an ink jet nozzle a plurality of times to form an organic light emitting layer. There is a distance between the nozzle and the substrate to be printed, and the ink is partitioned by a partition only by its own weight. Spreads to the printed part. On the other hand, in the relief printing method, the convex portion of the relief plate is brought into contact with the portion to be printed, so that the ink is spread laterally in the pixels surrounded by the partition walls by pressing the plate and filling the space formed by the partition walls. .

  In the ink jet method, the organic light emitting ink is not printed in the vicinity of the partition wall, which is the edge of the printing site, and ink repellency is likely to occur. When ink repellency occurs, there is a problem that a short circuit occurs when an organic EL display device is formed. In contrast, the relief printing method has the advantage that ink repellency is less likely to occur.

  Here, the problem of ink repelling and color mixing has always been a problem in the forming method using the ink. That is, in order to prevent color mixing, water repellency on the partition wall surface is required, but the water repellency tends to cause repellency at the boundary with the partition wall in the pixel. If the wettability of the partition walls is improved in order to prevent repelling, the coating liquid of the adjacent pixels easily flows into the adjacent pixels, and color mixing is likely to occur. In order to solve these problems, various surface treatments have been proposed for the partition walls to achieve both water repellency and hydrophilicity (Patent Documents 4 and 5). However, both methods are excellent in terms of cost and yield because many processes are required to achieve both water repellency and hydrophilicity, and complicated processes such as plasma treatment are required. It was hard to say.

  By the way, unlike the organic light emitting ink, the hole transport layer is generally not patterned, but is generally formed on the entire part related to the image formation of the organic EL display panel, so-called solid formation method, vacuum deposition method or sputtering method, Alternatively, a coating type hole transport material has been formed using a coating method such as a spin coating method or a die coating method. This is because the hole transport layer is generally a thin film having a thickness of 100 nm or less, and the current flowing in the thickness direction is overwhelming than the current flowing in the lateral direction of the layer. This is because it is said that there is very little leakage outside the pixel.

  In the present invention, there is provided a full-color organic EL light-emitting device having at least a pixel electrode, a cathode, a partition, and an organic light-emitting medium layer including an organic light-emitting layer, and causing the organic light-emitting layer to emit light by flowing current from both electrodes to the organic light-emitting layer An object of the present invention is to easily and inexpensively provide an organic EL light emitting element free from color mixing between adjacent pixels.

  In the present invention, the partition wall material kneaded with fine particles is used, and the surface roughness of the partition walls between adjacent pixels is increased to improve the water repellency of the partition wall surface. Can prevent color mixing.

  The invention according to claim 1 has at least a pixel electrode, a cathode, a partition, and an organic light emitting medium layer including an organic light emitting layer, and emits light from the organic light emitting layer by flowing current from both electrodes to the organic light emitting layer. In the full color organic EL light emitting device to be produced, when the partition wall contains an electrically insulating filler, the filler has an average particle diameter of 0.05 μm or more and 5.0 μm or less, and the organic light emitting medium layer is formed by coating The organic EL light emitting device is characterized in that the partition wall has a surface roughness Ra of 0.05 μm or more and 1.0 μm or less.

  The invention according to claim 2 has at least a pixel electrode, a cathode, a partition, and an organic light emitting medium layer including an organic light emitting layer, and causes the organic light emitting layer to emit light by flowing a current from both electrodes to the organic light emitting layer. In the method for producing a full-color organic EL light emitting device, the partition wall comprises an electrically insulating filler, the filler has an average particle diameter of 0.05 μm or more and 5.0 μm or less, and the partition wall surface roughness Ra is It is a manufacturing method of an organic EL light emitting element, wherein the organic light emitting medium layer is formed by coating at an opening of the partition wall with a thickness of 0.05 μm or more and 1.0 μm or less.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the method for producing an organic EL light emitting device according to claim 2, wherein the coating formation of the organic light emitting medium layer is performed by a printing method.

  According to the present invention, when the organic light emitting medium layer is applied and formed, sufficient water repellency can be obtained without specially performing water repellency treatment on the partition wall surface, and as a result, there is no color mixing easily at low cost. An organic EL light emitting device could be obtained.

It is sectional drawing for demonstrating the organic EL light emitting element of this invention. It is sectional drawing for demonstrating the partition in the organic EL light emitting element of this invention.

  The embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking as an example the case of producing a passive matrix type organic EL display panel. However, the present invention is not limited to these. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view for explaining an organic EL light emitting device of the present invention in a passive matrix type organic EL display panel.

  The organic EL light emitting element in the organic EL display panel is formed on the translucent substrate 1. As the translucent substrate 1, a glass substrate or a plastic film or sheet can be used. If a plastic film is used, a polymer organic EL light emitting device can be produced by winding, and a display panel can be provided at a low cost. As the plastic, for example, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, cycloolefin polymer, polyamide, polyethersulfone, polymethyl methacrylate, polycarbonate and the like can be used. Further, these films are barrier layers made of metal oxides such as silicon oxide, which exhibit water vapor barrier properties and oxygen barrier properties, oxynitrides such as silicon nitride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride, saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers. Is provided as necessary.

  A pixel electrode 2 patterned as an anode is provided on the translucent substrate 1. As the material of the pixel electrode 2, transparent electrode materials such as ITO (indium tin composite oxide), IZO (indium zinc composite oxide), tin oxide, zinc oxide, indium oxide, and aluminum oxide composite oxide can be used. ITO is preferred because of its low resistance, solvent resistance and transparency. ITO is formed on the light-transmitting substrate by sputtering, and is patterned by photolithography to form line-shaped pixel electrodes 2.

  After the line-shaped pixel electrode 2 is formed, the partition wall 3 is formed by photolithography using a photosensitive material between the adjacent pixel electrodes 2. More specifically, it includes at least a step of applying the photosensitive resin composition to the translucent substrate 1 and a step of forming a partition wall pattern by pattern exposure and development.

  As the photosensitive material for forming the partition wall 3, either a positive resist or a negative resist can be used. Although the photosensitive resist may be a commercially available one, it needs to have insulating properties. If the partition 3 does not have sufficient insulation, a current flows to the adjacent pixel electrode 2 through the partition 3 and display defects such as abnormal light emission and current leakage occur. Specific examples of the photosensitive material include polyimide, acrylic resin, novolac resin, and fluorene resin, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Further, for the purpose of improving the display quality of the organic EL light emitting element, a light shielding material may be contained in the photosensitive material. In the present invention, the filler described below can be kneaded to obtain surface roughness.

  The present invention is characterized by the surface roughness Ra = 0.05 μm or more of the formed partition wall. In order to obtain this feature, an electrically insulating filler can be dispersed in the positive resist. Such electrically insulating fillers include metal oxides such as tantalum, silica, and titanium oxide, metal oxide aerogels, and other silica-coated fine particles such as titanium oxide that are surface-treated, and the surface of these materials is repellent. Water-treated ones and polymer fine particles such as silicone resin, acrylic resin, epoxy resin, melamine resin and mica can be used. However, in the present invention, other than the above, any electrically insulating filler may be used. Not.

  The average particle size of these fillers is preferably 0.05 μm or more and 5.0 μm or less. This is because if it is less than 0.05 μm, an effect for obtaining sufficient surface roughness cannot be obtained. Further, when the average particle diameter of the filler is more than 5.0 μm, the surface roughness becomes too large, and there is a concern that problems such as disconnection may occur at the time of forming the cathode. The average particle diameter of the filler is more preferably 0.2 μm or more and 2.0 μm or less.

The photosensitive resin forming the partition walls 3 is applied using a known coating method such as a spin coater, bar coater, roll coater, die coater, or gravure coater.
Next, in the step of pattern exposure and development to form the partition wall pattern, the partition wall pattern can be formed by a conventionally known exposure and development method. In particular, the pattern obtained after exposure / development without a baking process is not cured in the positive resist. For this reason, the unexposed part is also slightly etched by the etching process in the development process, but at this time the component contains a component that is easily etched (positive resist) and a component that is difficult to etch (fillers). Thus, the progress of etching is partially different, and as a result, a pattern having a large surface roughness is obtained.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, during such etching, at the boundary portion of the partition wall 3 a pattern, that is, the tapered portion, the film thickness is reduced and the portion where the filler buried in the resist is exposed increases. Become. Here, of the filler surface, when the area buried in the resist resin is approximately 1/3 or less of the total surface area, a large amount of filler is peeled off from the partition wall, and as a result, particularly on the opening side of the tapered portion of the partition wall 3a. Almost no filler.
That is, the surface roughness of the tapered portion of the partition wall 3a adjacent to the pixel becomes a relatively smooth surface because there is no filler, that is, since the water repellency is not high, the effect of preventing the occurrence of problems such as repellency is obtained at the same time. Here, it can be roughly estimated by the average particle diameter of the filler how much the filler in the partition adjacent to the pixel falls off. That is, most of the filler falls off when the thickness of the resist resin is not more than 1/3 of the particle diameter of the filler. Here, since the thickness of the organic light emitting layer after drying is generally 0.05 μm or more, if the average particle diameter of the filler is 0.15 μm or more, the portion in contact with the dried organic light emitting layer is filled with filler. Therefore, even with the structure of the partition described in the present invention, the occurrence of repelling or the like can be extremely reduced. However, since the actual filler particle size has a certain distribution, a value called the average particle size is usually used. Here, the average particle diameter of the filler more preferable from the above is set to 0.2 μm or more. Further, when considering the thickness of the partition wall for the same reason, the partition wall thickness is generally about 1 μm to 3 μm. Therefore, in order to prevent the particles in the partition wall other than the tapered portion from falling off during the development process. The particle diameter of the preferred filler was 2 μm or less.
Here, when a filler having an average particle diameter of less than 0.05 μm is used, not only the effect of roughening the surface roughness by being buried in the resist resin on the surface of the normal partition wall is obtained, but also after the development at the end of the partition wall. Is sufficiently present, and the surface roughness is particularly increased at the end. That is, a filler having an average particle diameter of less than 0.05 μm is not very preferable because not only the color mixing prevention effect cannot be obtained at the center of the partition wall but also the surface roughness becomes large and repelling is likely to occur at the end of the partition wall. .

  Thereafter, the resin is cured by passing through a baking step. Regarding baking, baking can be performed by a conventionally known method using an oven, a hot plate, or the like. Since the resin may heat flow during baking, it is necessary to select conditions that allow the resist curing reaction to proceed faster than the heat flow of the resist so that the surface roughness obtained in the etching process does not decrease. There is. The firing temperature for preventing such flow is in the range of 200 ° C to 300 ° C, more preferably 230 ° C to 280 ° C. When the temperature is lower than 200 ° C., not only is the resin hardened, but also the curing reaction proceeds slowly, so that heat flow occurs, and the filler exposed on the partition wall surface may be buried in the partition wall again. This is not preferable. On the other hand, if the temperature exceeds 300 ° C., the resist material is thermally deteriorated due to the heat resistance problem of the resist material resin, which is not preferable.

  The partition wall 3 in the present invention desirably has a thickness in the range of 0.5 μm to 5.0 μm. Note that if the partition walls are too low, the effect of preventing leakage current and short-circuiting between adjacent pixels via the hole transport layer may not be obtained. However, the necessary thickness of the partition wall is defined by the transistor structure and the like, and is not limited to this in the present invention.

  Further, for example, in the passive matrix type organic EL display panel, when the partition 3 is provided between the pixel electrodes, the cathode layer is formed by directing the partition. When the cathode layer is formed in such a manner as to straddle the partition wall, if the partition wall 3 is too high, the cathode layer is disconnected, resulting in a display defect. This is because if the height of the partition wall 3 exceeds 5.0 μm, it becomes easy to break the cathode even if the partition wall has a forward taper cross section.

After the partition wall 3 is formed, the hole transport layer 4 is formed. Examples of hole transport materials forming the hole transport layer 4 include metal phthalocyanines such as copper phthalocyanine and tetra (t-butyl) copper phthalocyanine, and metal-free phthalocyanines, quinacridone compounds, 1,1-bis (4-di -P-tolylaminophenyl) cyclohexane, N, N'-diphenyl-N, N'-bis (3-methylphenyl) -1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine, N, N'-di ( 1-naphthyl) -N, N′-diphenyl-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine and other aromatic amine low molecular hole injection transport materials, poly (para-phenylene vinylene), polyaniline, etc. It can be selected from polymer hole transport materials, polythiophene oligomer materials, and other known hole transport materials.
As a method for forming the hole transport layer, a known method such as a vacuum deposition method can be used for the low molecular weight material. Also for the polymer material, a known film forming method such as a spin coating method or a slit coating method can be used.

  After the hole transport layer 4 is formed, the organic light emitting layer 5 is formed. The organic light emitting layer 5 is a layer that emits light by passing an electric current, and the organic light emitting material forming the organic light emitting layer 5 is, for example, a coumarin type, a perylene type, a pyran type, an anthrone type, a porphyrene type, a quinacridone type, N, N'-dialkyl-substituted quinacridone-based, naphthalimide-based, N, N'-diaryl-substituted pyrrolopyrrole-based, iridium complex-based luminescent dyes dispersed in polymers such as polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl carbazole, etc. And polyarylene-based, polyarylene vinylene-based, polyphenylene vinylene-based, and polyfluorene-based polymer materials.

  These organic light emitting materials are dissolved or stably dispersed in a solvent to form an organic light emitting ink. Examples of the solvent for dissolving or dispersing the organic light-emitting material include toluene, xylene, acetone, anisole, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, or a mixed solvent thereof. Among these, aromatic organic solvents such as toluene, xylene, and anisole are preferable from the viewpoint of solubility of the organic light emitting material. In addition, a surfactant, an antioxidant, a viscosity modifier, an ultraviolet absorber and the like may be added to the organic light emitting ink as necessary.

  As a method for forming the organic light emitting medium layer, a pattern can be formed by a printing method such as an ink jet method, a relief printing method, an intaglio offset printing method, a relief reverse printing method.

  After the organic light emitting layer 5 is formed, the cathode layer 6 is formed. As the material of the cathode layer 6, a material according to the light emitting characteristics of the organic light emitting layer can be used. For example, a simple metal such as lithium, magnesium, calcium, ytterbium or aluminum or a stable metal such as gold or silver can be used. An alloy etc. are mentioned. Alternatively, a conductive oxide such as indium, zinc, or tin can be used. Examples of the method for forming the cathode layer include a method using a vacuum vapor deposition method using a mask.

  The organic EL light emitting device of the present invention has a structure in which a hole transport layer and an organic light emitting layer are laminated from the anode layer side between a pixel electrode which is an anode and a cathode layer. In addition to the hole transport layer and the organic light emitting layer, a layered structure in which layers such as a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer are selected as necessary can be employed. Moreover, when forming these layers, the formation method similar to a positive hole transport layer and a light emitting layer can be used.

  Finally, in order to protect these organic EL constituents from external oxygen and moisture, the organic EL display panel can be obtained by hermetically sealing with a glass cap 7 and an adhesive 8. Moreover, when a translucent board | substrate has flexibility, you may seal using a sealing agent and a flexible film.

  EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example and a comparative example demonstrate this invention further, this invention is not restrict | limited to the following example.

Example 1
A pixel electrode was formed by forming an ITO (indium-tin oxide) thin film on a glass substrate having a size of 1.8 inches by sputtering, and patterning the ITO film by photolithography and etching with an acid solution. . The line pattern of the pixel electrode was a pattern in which about 540 lines were formed in a 32 mm square with a line width of 50 μm and a space of 10 μm.

Next, the barrier rib material was prepared. The partition wall material used as the base is 10 parts by weight of Tospearl 120 (silicone resin fine particles, average particle diameter 2.0 μm) manufactured by Momentive Performance Materials, with respect to 100 parts by weight of positive photosensitive resist (Toray Photo Nice DL1000). And kneaded well. Thereafter, using the obtained partition wall material, the partition walls were formed as follows so as to have a line shape parallel to the anode. The obtained partition wall material was spin coated on the glass substrate on which the pixel electrode was formed. The spin coating condition was rotated at 150 rpm for 5 seconds and then at 450 rpm for 20 seconds, so that the partition wall height was 3.0 μm. The photosensitive material applied to the entire surface was exposed and developed by a photolithography method to form a partition having a line pattern between the pixel electrodes. Normal exposure / development conditions are 50 mj / cm ² exposure using an i-line exposure machine, and then TMAH 2.38% is used as a developer, the development time is 30 seconds, and then washing is carried out to complete patterning.
Thereafter, the partition walls were baked in an oven at 250 ° C. for 30 minutes. At this time, the partition wall had a width of 15 μm and a height of 2.4 μm. Further, the surface roughness of the partition after firing was 0.8 μm.

The organic light emitting layer was patterned by a relief printing method. Also, using organic light-emitting ink in which polyphenylene vinylene derivatives, which are green and blue organic light-emitting materials, are dissolved in toluene so as to have concentrations of 1.4% and 1.1%, respectively, Pattern formation was performed. At this time, the film thicknesses of the red, green, and blue organic light emitting layers after drying were 100 nm, 120 nm, and 90 nm, respectively.

  A cathode layer made of Ca and Al was formed thereon by mask vapor deposition using a resistance heating vapor deposition method in a line pattern orthogonal to the pixel electrode line pattern. Finally, in order to protect these organic EL constituents from external oxygen and moisture, they were hermetically sealed using a glass cap and an adhesive to produce an organic EL element.

  In the periphery of the display portion of the obtained organic EL display panel, there are an anode-side extraction electrode and a cathode-side extraction electrode connected to each pixel electrode, and these were obtained by connecting them to a power source. The lighting display of the organic EL display panel was confirmed, and color mixing and display state unevenness were confirmed.
