Description

The present invention relates to a carbazole derivative. Moreover, it is related with the material for light emitting elements and organic-semiconductor material using the same.

Light-emitting elements (organic EL elements) that use organic compounds as light-emitting substances are used as next-generation lighting devices and display devices because they can be made thin and light, have high-speed response to input signals, and have low power consumption. The development of display devices that had been accelerating.

In the organic EL element, electrons and holes are injected from the electrode to the light emitting layer by applying a voltage with the light emitting layer sandwiched between the electrodes. Then, the injected electrons and holes are recombined, whereby the light emitting substance contained in the light emitting layer becomes an excited state, and light emission is obtained when the excited state returns to the ground state. The wavelength of light emitted from the light-emitting substance is unique to the light-emitting substance. By using different types of organic compounds as the light-emitting substance, light-emitting elements that emit light of various wavelengths, that is, various colors can be obtained.

In the case of a display device such as a display that is intended to display an image, it is necessary to obtain light of at least three colors of red, green, and blue in order to reproduce a full-color image. In addition, when used as a lighting device, it is ideal to obtain light having a uniform wavelength component in the visible light region in order to obtain high color rendering properties. In reality, two or more types of light with different wavelengths are synthesized. The light obtained by doing so is often used for illumination purposes. It is known that white light having high color rendering properties can be obtained by combining light of three colors of red, green, and blue.

As described above, the light emitted from the luminescent material is unique to the material. However, important performance as a light-emitting element, such as lifetime and power consumption, does not depend only on the substance that emits light, but other layers than the light-emitting layer, element structure, and properties and compatibility of the light-emitting substance and the host Also greatly affects. Therefore, there is no doubt that many types of materials for light-emitting elements are required to see the maturity of this field. For these reasons, light-emitting element materials having various molecular structures have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

From these and known substances, one or more kinds of substances having an energy gap larger than that of the emission center substance may be selected and used. In the case where the emission center substance emits phosphorescence, the host material has a triplet excitation energy larger than the triplet excitation energy (energy difference between the ground state and the triplet excitation state) of the emission center substance. Should be selected.

Note that the light-emitting layer 113 can be formed of a plurality of layers of two or more layers. For example, the first
When the light emitting layer 113 and the second light emitting layer are sequentially laminated from the hole transport layer side to form the light emitting layer 113,
There is a configuration in which a substance having a hole transporting property is used as the host material of the light emitting layer and a substance having an electron transporting property is used as the host material of the second light emitting layer.

When the light emitting layer having the above structure is composed of a plurality of materials, the light emitting layer should be manufactured by co-evaporation using a vacuum evaporation method, or by using an inkjet method, a spin coating method, a dip coating method, or the like as a mixed solution. Can do.

The electron transport layer 114 is a layer containing a substance having a high electron transport property. For example, tris (8-quinolinolato) aluminum (abbreviation: Alq), tris (4-methyl-8-quinolinolato)
Aluminum (abbreviation: Almq ₃ ), bis (10-hydroxybenzo [h] quinolinato)
It is a layer formed of a metal complex having a quinoline skeleton or a benzoquinoline skeleton, such as beryllium (abbreviation: BeBq ₂ ), bis (2-methyl-8-quinolinolato) (4-phenylphenolato) aluminum (abbreviation: BAlq). In addition, bis [2- (2-hydroxyphenyl) benzoxazolate] zinc (abbreviation: Zn (BOX) ₂ ), bis [2- (2-hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazolate] zinc (abbreviation: Zn (BTZ)) A metal complex having an oxazole-based or thiazole-based ligand such as ₂ ) can also be used.

hen), bathocuproine (abbreviation: BCP), and the like can also be used. The substances mentioned here are mainly substances having an electron mobility of 10 ⁻⁶ cm ² / Vs or higher. Note that other than the above substances, any substance that has a property of transporting more electrons than holes may be used for the electron-transport layer.

Further, the electron-transport layer is not limited to a single layer, and two or more layers including the above substances may be stacked.

Further, a layer for controlling the movement of electron carriers may be provided between the electron transport layer and the light emitting layer.
This is a layer obtained by adding a small amount of a substance having a high electron trapping property to a material having a high electron transporting property as described above. By suppressing the movement of electron carriers, the carrier balance can be adjusted. Such a configuration is very effective in suppressing problems that occur when electrons penetrate through the light emitting layer (for example, a reduction in device lifetime).

Further, an electron injection layer may be provided in contact with the second electrode 104 between the electron transport layer and the second electrode 104. As the electron injection layer, lithium fluoride (LiF), cesium fluoride (C
Alkali metals or alkaline earth metals such as sF), calcium fluoride (CaF ₂ ), etc., or compounds thereof can be used. For example, a layer made of a substance having an electron transporting property containing an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal or a compound thereof, for example, Al
What contains magnesium (Mg) in q etc. can be used. Note that by using an electron injection layer containing an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal in a layer made of a substance having an electron transporting property, electron injection from the second electrode 104 is efficiently performed. More preferred.

As a material for forming the second electrode 104, a work function is small (specifically, 3.8 eV).
The following may be used: metals, alloys, electrically conductive compounds, and mixtures thereof. Specific examples of such cathode materials include elements belonging to Group 1 or Group 2 of the periodic table of elements, that is, alkali metals such as lithium (Li) and cesium (Cs), and magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca ), Alkaline earth metals such as strontium (Sr), and alloys (MgAg, AlLi), europium (Eu), ytterbium (Y
and rare earth metals such as b) and alloys containing them. However, by providing an electron injection layer between the second electrode 104 and the electron transport layer, indium oxide-tin oxide containing Al, Ag, ITO, silicon, or silicon oxide regardless of the work function. Various conductive materials such as the above can be used for the second electrode 104. These conductive materials can be formed by a sputtering method, an inkjet method, a spin coating method, or the like.

Moreover, as a formation method of the layer 103 containing an organic compound, various methods can be used regardless of a dry method or a wet method. For example, a vacuum deposition method, an ink jet method, a spin coating method, or the like may be used. Moreover, you may form using the different film-forming method for each electrode or each layer.

The electrodes may also be formed by a wet method using a sol-gel method, or may be formed by a wet method using a paste of a metal material. Alternatively, a dry method such as a sputtering method or a vacuum evaporation method may be used.

In the light-emitting element having the above structure, current flows due to a potential difference generated between the first electrode 102 and the second electrode 104, so that holes are formed in the light-emitting layer 113 which is a layer containing a highly light-emitting substance. And electrons recombine and emit light. That is, a light emitting region is formed in the light emitting layer 113.

Light emission is extracted outside through one or both of the first electrode 102 and the second electrode 104. Therefore, either one or both of the first electrode 102 and the second electrode 104 is an electrode having a light-transmitting property. In the case where only the first electrode 102 is a light-transmitting electrode, light emission is extracted from the substrate side through the first electrode 102. In the case where only the second electrode 104 is a light-transmitting electrode, light emission is extracted from the side opposite to the substrate through the second electrode 104. In the case where each of the first electrode 102 and the second electrode 104 is a light-transmitting electrode, light emission passes through the first electrode 102 and the second electrode 104, both on the substrate side and on the opposite side of the substrate. Is taken out of.

Note that the structure of the layers provided between the first electrode 102 and the second electrode 104 is not limited to the above. However, in order to suppress quenching caused by the proximity of the light emitting region and the metal used for the electrode and the carrier injection layer, holes and electrons are separated from the first electrode 102 and the second electrode 104. A structure in which a light emitting region in which recombinations are provided is preferable. In addition, the stacking order of the layers is not limited to this, and the second electrode, the electron injection layer, the electron transport layer,
A stacked structure in which the light emitting layer, the hole transport layer, the hole injection layer, and the first electrode are stacked in the reverse order of FIG. 1 may be used.

In addition, the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer that are in direct contact with the light emitting layer, in particular, the carrier transport layer that is in contact with the light emitting region closer to the light emitting layer 113 suppresses the energy transfer from excitons generated in the light emitting layer. It is preferable that the energy gap is made of a light emitting material constituting the light emitting layer or a material having an energy gap larger than that of the light emission center material included in the light emitting layer.

In the light-emitting element in this embodiment, since the carbazole derivative described in Embodiment 1 with a large energy gap is used as the hole-transport layer, the light-emitting substance or the emission center substance has a large energy gap, Even a substance that exhibits fluorescence or a substance that exhibits green phosphorescence with a large triplet excitation energy (energy difference between the ground state and the triplet excited state) can emit light efficiently and has good emission efficiency. A light emitting element can be obtained. This makes it possible to provide a light-emitting element with lower power consumption. In addition, a light-emitting element capable of obtaining light emission with good color purity can be provided. In addition, since the carbazole derivative described in Embodiment 1 is excellent in carrier transportability, a light-emitting element with low driving voltage can be provided.

In this embodiment mode, a light-emitting element is manufactured over a substrate made of glass, plastic, or the like. By manufacturing a plurality of such light-emitting elements over one substrate, a passive matrix light-emitting device can be manufactured. Alternatively, for example, a thin film transistor (TFT) may be formed over a substrate made of glass, plastic, or the like, and a light-emitting element may be formed over an electrode electrically connected to the TFT. Thus, an active matrix light-emitting device in which driving of the light-emitting element is controlled by the TFT can be manufactured. Note that the structure of the TFT is not particularly limited.
A staggered TFT or an inverted staggered TFT may be used. Further, there is no particular limitation on the crystallinity of the semiconductor used for the TFT, and an amorphous semiconductor or a crystalline semiconductor may be used. In addition, N-type and P-type T circuits are also used for driving circuits formed on the TFT substrate.
It may be made of FT, or may be made of only one of N-type TFT and P-type TFT.

Therefore, it can be suitably used as a host material, and light emission resulting from the light-emitting substance can be obtained. Therefore, a light-emitting element with low energy loss and high light emission efficiency can be obtained. In addition, a light-emitting element that can easily emit light of a desired color derived from the emission center substance can be obtained. This makes it easy to obtain a light emitting element that emits light with high color purity.

(Embodiment 6)
In this embodiment, an embodiment of a light-emitting element having a structure in which a plurality of light-emitting units is stacked (hereinafter also referred to as a stacked element) is described with reference to FIG. This light-emitting element is a light-emitting element having a plurality of light-emitting units between a first electrode and a second electrode. As the light-emitting unit, a structure similar to that of the layer 103 containing an organic compound described in Embodiment 4 or 5 can be used. That is, the light-emitting element described in Embodiment 4 or 5 is a light-emitting element having one light-emitting unit, and can be referred to as a light-emitting element having a plurality of light-emitting units in this embodiment.

In FIG. 1B, a first light-emitting unit 511 and a second light-emitting unit 512 are stacked between a first electrode 501 and a second electrode 502, and the first light-emitting unit 511 is stacked.
A charge generation layer 513 is provided between the first light emitting unit 512 and the second light emitting unit 512. The first electrode 501 and the second electrode 502 correspond to the first electrode 102 and the second electrode 104 in Embodiment 4, respectively, and those similar to those described in Embodiment 4 can be applied. it can.
Further, the first light emitting unit 511 and the second light emitting unit 512 may have the same configuration or different configurations.

The charge generation layer 513 includes a composite material of an organic compound and a metal oxide. This composite material of an organic compound and a metal oxide is the composite material described in Embodiment 4, and includes an organic compound and a metal oxide such as vanadium oxide, molybdenum oxide, or tungsten oxide. As the organic compound, various compounds such as an aromatic amine compound, a carbazole derivative, an aromatic hydrocarbon, and a high molecular compound (oligomer, dendrimer, polymer, etc.) can be used. The organic compound has a hole mobility of 10 ⁻⁶ cm as a hole transporting organic compound.
It is preferable to apply one that is ² / Vs or higher. Note that other than these substances, any substance that has a property of transporting more holes than electrons may be used. Since a composite of an organic compound and a metal oxide is excellent in carrier injecting property and carrier transporting property, low voltage driving and low current driving can be realized.

Note that the charge generation layer 513 may be formed by combining a layer including a composite material of an organic compound and a metal oxide with a layer formed using another material. For example, a layer including a composite material of an organic compound and a metal oxide may be combined with a layer including one compound selected from electron donating substances and a compound having a high electron transporting property. Alternatively, a layer including a composite material of an organic compound and a metal oxide may be combined with a transparent conductive film.

In any case, when the voltage is applied to the first electrode 501 and the second electrode 502, the charge generation layer 513 sandwiched between the first light emitting unit 511 and the second light emitting unit 512 has one light emitting unit. Any device may be used as long as it injects electrons into the other light-emitting unit and injects holes into the other light-emitting unit. For example, in FIG. 1B, in the case where a voltage is applied so that the potential of the first electrode is higher than the potential of the second electrode, the charge generation layer 513 has electrons in the first light-emitting unit 511. As long as it injects holes into the second light emitting unit 512.

Although the light-emitting element having two light-emitting units has been described in this embodiment mode, the present invention can be similarly applied to a light-emitting element in which three or more light-emitting units are stacked. Like the light-emitting element according to this embodiment mode, a plurality of light-emitting units are partitioned by a charge generation layer between a pair of electrodes, so that light can be emitted in a high-luminance region while maintaining a low current density. is there. In addition, since the current density can be kept low, a long-life element can be realized. Further, when illumination is used as an application example, the voltage drop due to the resistance of the electrode material can be reduced, so that uniform light emission over a large area is possible. In addition, a light-emitting device that can be driven at a low voltage and has low power consumption can be realized.

Further, by making the light emission colors of the respective light emitting units different, light emission of a desired color can be obtained as the whole light emitting element. For example, in a light-emitting element having two light-emitting units, the light-emitting element that emits white light as a whole by making the light emission color of the first light-emitting unit and the light emission color of the second light-emitting unit complementary colors It is also possible to obtain The complementary color refers to a relationship between colors that become achromatic when mixed.

The measurement was performed by changing the potential of the working electrode with respect to the reference electrode from −0.05 V to 1.10 V, and then changing the voltage from 1.1 V to −0.05 V as one cycle, and measuring 100 cycles.

As a result of the measurement, there was no significant change in the oxidation peak even after 100 cycles, and DBTCzP
A-II was found to exhibit good properties in repeated redox between the oxidized and neutral states.

  Also, the HOMO level of DBTCzPA-II was calculated from the results of CV measurement.

V is known to be. DBTCzPA-II has an oxidation peak potential E _pa of 1.01.
V. Further, the reduction peak potential E _pc was 0.86V. Therefore, the half-wave potential (potential between E _pa and E _pc ) can be calculated as 0.94V. This means that DBTCzP
A-II is 0.94 [V vs. Ag / Ag ⁺ ] is oxidized by the electric energy, and this energy corresponds to the HOMO level. Here, as described above, the potential energy with respect to the vacuum level of the reference electrode used in this example is −4.94 [eV.
Therefore, the HOMO level of DBTCzPA-II is −4.94−0.94 = −5.
It was found to be 88 [eV].

The potential energy of the reference electrode (Ag / Ag ⁺ electrode) with respect to the vacuum level is
The calculation corresponds to the Fermi level of the Ag / Ag ⁺ electrode, and the calculation may be performed from a value obtained by measuring a substance having a known potential energy from the vacuum level using the reference electrode (Ag / Ag ⁺ electrode).

A method for calculating the potential energy (eV) with respect to the vacuum level of the reference electrode (Ag / Ag ⁺ electrode) used in this embodiment will be specifically described. The redox potential of ferrocene in methanol is +0.610 [V vs. SHE] (references; Christian R. Goldsmith et al.,
“J. Am. Chem. Soc.”, Vol. 124, no. 1,83-96,
2002). On the other hand, when the oxidation-reduction potential of ferrocene in methanol was determined using the reference electrode used in this example, +0.11 [Vvs. Ag / Ag ⁺ ]. Therefore, the potential energy of this reference electrode is 0.50 [e with respect to the standard hydrogen electrode.
V] was found to be lower.

Here, it is known that the potential energy from the vacuum level of the standard hydrogen electrode is −4.44 eV (reference: Toshihiro Onishi, Tamami Koyama, “Polymer EL Material” (Kyoritsu Shuppan), p. .64-67). From the above, the potential energy of the used reference electrode with respect to the vacuum level can be calculated as −4.44−0.50 = −4.94 [eV].
