Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は,有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年,エレクトロルミネッセンス素子(以下,EL素子と略称)は,自己発光のため視認性が高く,完全固体素子のため耐衝撃性に優れる等の特徴を有し,各種表示装置に於ける発光素子として注目されている。また,R(赤)G(緑)B(青)各色の発光が可能な薄膜面発光デバイスであることから,フルカラーフラットパネルディスプレイへの応用が期待されている。
【0003】
このEL素子には,発光材料に無機化合物を用いる無機EL素子と,有機化合物を用いる有機EL素子があり,有機EL素子は作動電圧を大幅に低くし得るため,実用化研究が積極的に進められている。
【0004】
有機EL素子の構造は,透明基板上に陽極/発光層/陰極が構成された構造が基本であり,この基本構造に正孔注入層や電子注入層が適宜設けられたものがある。例えば,陽極/正孔注入層/発光層/陰極や,陽極/正孔注入層/発光層/電子輸送層/陰極等の構造であり,正孔注入層は陽極より注入される正孔を発光層に伝達する機能を有し,電子輸送層は陰極より注入される電子を発光層に伝達する機能を有する。正孔注入層を発光層と陽極との間に介在させることにより,より低い作動電圧で多くの正孔が発光層に注入されると共に,発光層に陰極または電子輸送層より注入される電子が発光層と正孔注入層の界面に存在する電子の障壁により発光層内の界面に蓄積され,発光効率が上がることを利用したものである。(「アプライド・フィジックス・レターズ」第51巻,第913ページ(1987年))
また,有機EL素子の基本構造(陽極/発光層/陰極)のものにも種々のものがある。
【0005】
例えば,(1)正孔輸送物質と,電子輸送物質と,正孔と電子の再結合に応答して発光する発光物質とを混合した発光層からなる素子であり,正孔輸送物質としてポリ・ビニル・カルバゾール(PVK)を,電子輸送物質としてPBDと呼ばれるオキサジアゾール誘導体を,発光物質としてクマリン誘導体を用いて高輝度の緑色発光を実現したことが開示されている。(「応用物理」第61巻,第1044ページ(1992年))
【0006】

【0007】
また,(2)正孔輸送物質と,電子輸送物質と,蛍光物質とを,正孔も電子も輸送しないマトリックス物質にドープした発光層からなる素子であり,正孔輸送物質としてTPDを,電子輸送物質としてアルミニウム・オキシン錯体を,発光物質としてクマリン誘導体を,マトリックスとしてポリメチレンメタアクリレート(PMMA)を用いて高輝度の緑色発光を実現したことが開示されている。(「アプライド・フィジクス・レターズ」第61巻,第761ページ(1992年))
しかし,これらの素子作製にあたり,青色及び赤色発光のための発光材料の開発が遅れており,長寿命のフルカラーディスプレイの実現に至っていない。
【0008】
これまでに,青色発光材料としては,ジスチリルアリーレン誘導体,ポリアルキルフルオレン,ポリメチルフェニルシラン,ポリパラフェニレン,ポリジヘプチルオキシフェニレン,亜鉛錯体;(Zn(oxz)2;oxz=オキサゾール),オキサジアゾール誘導体,テトラフェニルシクロペンタジエン,テトラフェニルブタジエン等がある。
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述した様にこれまでの有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子製造において,青色発光有機LED(EL)膜の素子の耐熱性に問題点があったことから,青色の素子の寿命に困難を抱えていた。
【0010】

またはそれらの誘導体またはそれらの混合物が,青色の発光を示し,電子輸送物質のドーピング(分子分散)が可能で,かつフォトリソグラフィーパターニングが可能で耐熱性がある物質であることを発見した。
【0017】
これを利用し,透明基板上に透明電極/正孔輸送層/発光層/電子輸送層/背面電極の構造を有する有機EL素子を以下のように作製し,青色発光を確認するに至った。正孔輸送層にPVK使用時は,PVKを有機溶媒に溶解し,ITO付き透明基板上に塗布乾燥してPVK薄膜を作製し,発光層として前記の化合物I 若しくはII若しくはIII またはそれらの誘導体またはそれらの混合物を適度な溶媒に溶解し,PVK膜上に塗布し,さらにAlq,PPCP(1,2,3,4,5−ペンタフェニル−1,3−シクロペンタジエン),PBD等の電子輸送層を蒸着し,その上に陰極の金属電極を蒸着した。正孔輸送層にTPD(N,N´−ジフェニル−N,N´−ビス(3−メチルフェニル)−1,1´−ビフェニル−4,4´−ジアミン)またはその誘導体を使用する時は,TPDまたはその誘導体を蒸着し,ついで,前記の化合物I 若しくはII若しくはIII またはそれらの誘導体またはそれらの混合物を蒸着し,更にAlq,PPCP,PBD等の電子輸送層を蒸着し,その上に陰極の金属電極を蒸着した。いずれも,直流を流すことにより,青色発光を確認した。
【0018】
また,別の利用法として,透明基板上に透明電極/発光層/背面電極の構造を有する有機EL素子において,発光層として,電子輸送性物質を,マトリックスとして前記の化合物I 若しくはII若しくはIII またはそれらの誘導体またはそれらの混合物にドーピングさせることにより,有機LED(EL)膜のフォトリソグラフィーパターニングが可能となり,フルカラー化に向けた微細な青色発光セグメントの配列が実現できることを見つけ発明に至った。また,このマトリックスは,熱的に安定なものであり,かつ薄膜性に優れ均一で緻密な膜が形成でき,電極形成時にピンホールが発生しにくいことから,耐熱性(長寿命化)も期待できる。また,耐久性を良くすることを目的として,水分や酸素を遮断するために樹脂で封止したり,酸化ゲルマニウムの薄膜を蒸着するということもできる。
【0019】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に本発明について詳細に述べる。
【0020】
透明基板としては,ガラス又は透明樹脂(例えばポリエーテルスルホン,ポリアリレート)の基板が使用可能である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescence element.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, electroluminescence elements (hereinafter abbreviated as EL elements) have features such as high visibility due to self-emission and excellent impact resistance due to complete solid-state elements, and as light-emitting elements in various display devices. Attention has been paid. Further, since it is a thin film surface emitting device capable of emitting light of each color of R (red), G (green), and B (blue), application to a full color flat panel display is expected.
[0003]
This EL element includes an inorganic EL element using an inorganic compound as a light emitting material and an organic EL element using an organic compound. Since the organic EL element can significantly reduce the operating voltage, the practical application research is actively advanced. It has been.
[0004]
The structure of the organic EL element is basically a structure in which an anode / light emitting layer / cathode is formed on a transparent substrate, and there is a structure in which a hole injection layer and an electron injection layer are appropriately provided in this basic structure. For example, anode / hole injection layer / light emitting layer / cathode, anode / hole injection layer / light emitting layer / electron transport layer / cathode, etc., and the hole injection layer emits holes injected from the anode. The electron transport layer has a function of transmitting electrons injected from the cathode to the light emitting layer. By interposing the hole injection layer between the light emitting layer and the anode, many holes are injected into the light emitting layer with a lower operating voltage, and electrons injected from the cathode or the electron transport layer into the light emitting layer. This is based on the fact that the light emission efficiency is increased by accumulation at the interface in the light emitting layer due to the electron barrier existing at the interface between the light emitting layer and the hole injection layer. ("Applied Physics Letters" Volume 51, 913 pages (1987))
There are various types of organic EL elements having a basic structure (anode / light emitting layer / cathode).
[0005]
For example, (1) a device composed of a light emitting layer in which a hole transport material, an electron transport material, and a light emitting material that emits light in response to recombination of holes and electrons are mixed. It is disclosed that high-luminance green light emission is realized by using vinyl carbazole (PVK), an oxadiazole derivative called PBD as an electron transport material, and a coumarin derivative as a light-emitting material. ("Applied Physics", Vol. 61, p. 1044 (1992))

[0007]
Also, (2) an element comprising a light emitting layer doped with a hole transport material, an electron transport material, and a fluorescent material in a matrix material that transports neither holes nor electrons. It is disclosed that high-luminance green light emission is realized by using an aluminum-oxine complex as a transport material, a coumarin derivative as a light-emitting material, and polymethylene methacrylate (PMMA) as a matrix. (Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 61, p. 761 (1992))
However, the development of light emitting materials for blue and red light emission has been delayed in the production of these elements, and a long-life full color display has not been realized.
[0008]
To date, blue light-emitting materials include distyrylarylene derivatives, polyalkylfluorene, polymethylphenylsilane, polyparaphenylene, polydiheptyloxyphenylene, zinc complexes; (Zn (oxz) 2; oxz = oxazole), oxadi There are azole derivatives, tetraphenylcyclopentadiene, tetraphenylbutadiene and the like.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, in the conventional production of organic electroluminescence elements, there has been a problem in the heat resistance of the elements of the blue light emitting organic LED (EL) film, so that the lifetime of the blue elements has been difficult.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of various studies, the present inventors have found that certain compounds, that is, the compound I represented by the formula I:
[0011]

[0012]
(In the formula, n is in the range of 1 to 140.)

[0016]
Alternatively, it has been discovered that their derivatives or mixtures thereof emit blue light, can be doped with electron transport materials (molecular dispersion), can be subjected to photolithography patterning, and are heat resistant materials.
[0017]
Utilizing this, an organic EL device having a transparent electrode / hole transport layer / light emitting layer / electron transport layer / back electrode structure on a transparent substrate was prepared as follows, and blue light emission was confirmed. When PVK is used for the hole transport layer, PVK is dissolved in an organic solvent, coated and dried on a transparent substrate with ITO to prepare a PVK thin film, and the above compound I or II or III or their derivatives or These mixtures are dissolved in an appropriate solvent, coated on a PVK film, and further an electron transport layer such as Alq, PPCP (1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenyl-1,3-cyclopentadiene), PBD, etc. And a cathode metal electrode was deposited thereon. When TPD (N, N′-diphenyl-N, N′-bis (3-methylphenyl) -1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine) or a derivative thereof is used for the hole transport layer, TPD or a derivative thereof is vapor-deposited, then the above-mentioned compound I or II or III or a derivative thereof or a mixture thereof is vapor-deposited, and an electron transport layer such as Alq, PPCP, or PBD is vapor-deposited thereon. A metal electrode was deposited. In both cases, blue light emission was confirmed by applying direct current.
[0018]
As another utilization method, in an organic EL device having a transparent electrode / light emitting layer / back electrode structure on a transparent substrate, an electron transporting substance is used as a light emitting layer, and the compound I or II or III or the above as a matrix. It has been found that by doping these derivatives or a mixture thereof, photolithography patterning of an organic LED (EL) film is possible, and an arrangement of fine blue light-emitting segments for full color can be realized. In addition, this matrix is thermally stable, has excellent thin film properties, can form a uniform and dense film, and is unlikely to generate pinholes during electrode formation, so heat resistance (long life) is also expected. it can. Also, for the purpose of improving durability, it can be sealed with resin to block moisture and oxygen, or a thin film of germanium oxide can be deposited.
[0019]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, the present invention will be described in detail.
[0020]
As the transparent substrate, a glass or transparent resin (for example, polyethersulfone, polyarylate) substrate can be used.
[0021]
The electrode on the substrate side needs to be a transparent electrode, and for example, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) can be used.
[0022]
In the organic EL device having the structure of transparent electrode 9 / hole transport layer 8 / light emitting layer 7 / electron transport layer 6 / back electrode 5 as shown in FIG. 2, the hole transport layer 8 includes PVK, TPD, A TPD derivative is used, and in film formation, either coating or vapor deposition may be performed by a method suitable for the compound used. In the case of PVK, since vapor deposition is difficult, a solvent capable of being dissolved such as dichloroethane or dichloromethane is used to form a 1 to 3 wt% solution, which is applied by dipping or spin coating. When TPD or a derivative of TPD is used, vacuum evaporation is performed at 150 ° C. to 250 ° C. using a resistance heating evaporation method. Next, the light emitting layer 7 is formed by coating the above-mentioned compound I, II or III or a derivative thereof when using PVK, or by vapor deposition when using a low molecular substance such as TPD. In the case of coating, the light emitting layer compound is dissolved in an organic solvent that does not dissolve PVK or has low solubility of PVK, and is applied by dip or spin coating and dried. In this case, a 1 to 3 wt% solution of toluene, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate or the like is suitable. The electron transport layer 6 can be made of an aluminum-oxine complex (Alq), an oxadiazole derivative, or the like, and is formed at 150 to 250 ° C. by resistance heating vapor deposition. The degree of vacuum at the time of vapor deposition is appropriate from 6.0 × 10 −6 to 5.0 × 10 −5 Torr at any vapor deposition. The film thicknesses of the hole transport layer 8 are 100 to 1000 angstroms, the light emitting layer 7 is 300 to 1500 angstroms, and the electron transport layer 6 is 100 to 1000 angstroms. If it is less than that, the insulation will be poor, and if it is more than that, current will not flow easily even if a voltage is applied.
[0023]
In the organic EL device having the structure of transparent electrode 3 / light emitting layer 2 / back electrode 1 as shown in FIG. 1, the light emitting layer 2 includes an electron transporting substance as a matrix and the above-mentioned compound I or II or III or those. Any material can be used as long as it is a layer doped with the above-mentioned derivative and the electron transport material is stable by molecular dispersion in the matrix. Specifically, an aluminum-oxine complex (Alq), an oxadiazole derivative, or the like can be used as the electron transport material. The amount of the electron transport material added varies greatly depending on the substance, but is generally between 0.01 wt% and 60 wt%. Generally, it is preferably about 20 to 30% by weight. A matrix compound, an electron transport material, and sometimes a hole transport material are dissolved in an organic solvent that dissolves all of them, for example, dichloroethane or dichloromethane in an amount of 1 to 3 wt%, applied by dip or spin coating and dried. Film. The film thickness of the light emitting layer 2 is suitably 500 to 3000 angstroms. If it is thinner than this, the insulation will be poor, and if it is thick, it will be difficult to emit light. When fine patterning is required, exposure may be performed with ultraviolet rays using a predetermined mask. The amount of light is 50 to 400 mj.
[0024]
In each case, a thin film such as MgAg, AlLi, or Al can be used as the back electrode. The appropriate vacuum level is 6.0 x10 -6 to 5.0 x10 -5 Torr.
[0025]
