DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescence device, and more particularly, to an organic electroluminescence device having improved light emission characteristics.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An organic electroluminescence device (hereinafter simply referred to as an "organic EL device") is a device which uses an electric field to generate recombination energy between holes injected from an anode and electrons injected from a cathode. It is a self-luminous element utilizing the principle that a fluorescent substance emits light.

ng et al. report on a low-voltage driven organic EL device using a stacked device (CW Tang, SA VanSlyk).
e, Applied Physics Letters (Appli
Physics Letters), 51, 9
13 (1987), researches on organic EL devices using organic materials as constituent materials have been actively conducted. Tang et al. Use tris (8-hydroxyquinolinol aluminum) for the light emitting layer and a triphenyldiamine derivative for the hole transport layer. The advantages of the stacked structure include that the efficiency of hole injection into the light emitting layer can be increased, the efficiency of exciton generation by recombination by blocking electrons injected from the cathode can be increased, And the exciton generated inside can be confined.

[0004] As in this example, the element structure of the organic EL element is a two-layer type including a hole transporting (injecting) layer and an electron transporting light emitting layer, or a hole transporting (injecting) layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transporting layer. Three-layer (injection) layers are well known. In such a laminated structure element, various ideas have been devised on the element structure and the forming method in order to increase the recombination efficiency of injected holes and electrons.

[0005] As a hole transporting material, 4,4 ', 4 "-tris (3-methylphenylphenylamino) triphenylamine or N, N'-diphenyl-N, N'-bis ( 3-methylphenyl)-
Triphenylamine derivatives such as [1,1'-biphenyl] -4,4'-diamine and aromatic diamine derivatives are well known (for example, JP-A-8-20771,
JP-A-8-40995, JP-A-8-40997, JP-A-8-259935, JP-A-8-54
No. 3397, JP-A-8-87122, etc.).

[0006] Oxadiazole derivatives, triazole derivatives and the like are well known as electron transporting materials. Further, as light emitting materials, light emitting materials such as chelate complexes such as tris (8-quinolinolato) aluminum complex, coumarin derivatives, tetraphenylbutadiene derivatives, bisstyrylarylene derivatives, and oxadiazole derivatives are known. Also, it has been reported that light emission in the visible region from blue to red can be obtained, and realization of a color display element is expected (for example, see JP-A-8-23).

[0007]

As described above, various organic EL devices have been disclosed or reported. However, these organic EL devices are not necessarily sufficient in terms of luminance. The present invention has been made in view of this point, and has as its object to provide a high-luminance organic EL device.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of repeated experiments and studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have obtained an organic light-emitting device using a perylene compound having a diarylamino group at a specific position as a light-emitting material. The EL element is a conventional organic E
It was found that the light emission was higher than that of the L element.

Further, it has been found that this compound has a high hole-transporting property, and it has been found that an organic EL device produced using the compound as a hole-transporting material emits light with higher luminance than a conventional organic EL device. Invented the invention. Claim 1 of the present invention relates to an organic electroluminescence device comprising an anode, a cathode, and at least one organic thin film layer including a light emitting layer between the anode and the cathode, wherein at least one of the organic thin film layers Is formed solely of a material represented by the following general formula (1).
