Description

  The present invention relates to a condensed polycyclic compound, a material for an organic electroluminescence device using the same, and an organic electroluminescence device using the material, and in particular, an organic electroluminescence device having high luminous efficiency and a long lifetime, and The present invention relates to a condensed polycyclic compound to be realized.

  An organic electroluminescence element (hereinafter, electroluminescence may be abbreviated as EL) is such that a fluorescent substance is generated by recombination energy of holes injected from an anode and electrons injected from a cathode by applying an electric field. It is a self-luminous element utilizing the principle of light emission. Since the report of low-voltage driven stacked organic EL elements, research on organic EL elements using organic materials as constituent materials has been actively conducted. In this multilayer element, tris (8-quinolinolato) aluminum is used for the light emitting layer, and a triphenyldiamine derivative is used for the hole transport layer. The advantages of the stacked structure are that it increases the efficiency of hole injection into the light-emitting layer, blocks the electrons injected from the cathode, increases the generation efficiency of excitons generated by recombination, and generates in the light-emitting layer For example, confining excitons. As in this example, the element structure of the organic EL element includes a hole transport (injection) layer, a two-layer type of an electron transport light emitting layer, or a hole transport (injection) layer, a light emitting layer, and an electron transport (injection) layer A three-layer type is well known. In such a stacked structure element, the element structure and the formation method are devised in order to increase the recombination efficiency of injected holes and electrons.

As light-emitting materials for organic EL elements, chelate complexes such as tris (8-quinolinolato) aluminum complex, light-emitting materials such as coumarin derivatives, tetraphenylbutadiene derivatives, distyrylarylene derivatives, oxadiazole derivatives, and the like are known. Has been reported to emit light in the visible region from blue to red, and the realization of a color display element is expected.
In recent years, it has been proposed to use a phosphorescent material in addition to the fluorescent material for the light emitting layer of the organic EL element. Thus, high emission efficiency is achieved by utilizing the singlet state and triplet state of the excited state of the organic phosphorescent material in the light emitting layer of the organic EL element. When electrons and holes recombine in an organic EL device, it is considered that singlet excitons and triplet excitons are generated at a ratio of 1: 3 due to the difference in spin multiplicity. If the light emitting material is used, it is conceivable that the light emission efficiency is 3 to 4 times that of an element using only fluorescence.

Incidentally, in recent years, it has been found that polycyclic compounds and compounds having an indolocarbazole skeleton are useful as materials for organic EL devices. For example, an organic EL device containing a specific polycyclic compound as a charge transport component (see, for example, Patent Document 1), a compound for an organic electroluminescent element having a specific indolocarbazole skeleton, and a light-emitting layer include a phosphorescent dopant and the above An organic electroluminescent device containing a compound for a light emitting device as a host material (for example, see Patent Documents 2, 6 and 7), and a light emitting layer containing a compound having a phosphorescent dopant and a specific indolocarbazole skeleton as a host material Organic electroluminescent device (for example, see Patent Document 3), organic electroluminescent device compound having a specific indolocarbazole skeleton, and organic electroluminescent device having an organic layer containing the compound for light emitting device (for example, Patent Document) 4 and 5).
However, any of the polycyclic compounds and compounds having an indolocarbazole skeleton described in Patent Documents 1 to 7 have two nitrogen-containing 5-membered rings in the polycyclic structure.

  The present invention has been made under such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an organic EL device having high emission efficiency and a long lifetime, and a condensed polycyclic compound for realizing the organic EL device.

  As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventors have found that the object can be achieved by a specific condensed polycyclic compound having a structure in which five rings are condensed. The present invention has been completed based on such findings.
