Description

  The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescence device, and more particularly to an organic electroluminescence device including an interface improvement layer made of a fluoranthene derivative.

An organic electroluminescence (EL) element is a self-luminous element utilizing the principle that a light emitting layer emits light by recombination energy of holes injected from an anode and electrons injected from a cathode when an electric field is applied.
Organic EL devices have made remarkable progress, and organic EL devices have features such as low-voltage driving, high brightness, diversity of emission wavelengths, high-speed response, and the ability to produce thin and light-emitting devices. Application to applications is expected.

The organic EL element has a well-known laminated structure in which a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer are stacked between an anode and a light emitting layer, and an electron injection layer and an electron transport layer are stacked between a cathode and a light emitting layer. In such a stacked structure type device, the device structure and the material of each layer are devised in order to increase the recombination efficiency of injected holes and electrons.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses forming a hole transport layer or a light emitting layer of an organic EL device from a condensed polycyclic aromatic compound containing a structure in which 3 or 4 benzene rings are condensed. A perylene derivative is exemplified as this condensed polycyclic aromatic compound, but this derivative is used in the hole transport layer.

  As a light emitting material used for the light emitting layer, one that emits light by a single substance or one that emits light by adding a small amount of dopant to a host material is known. For example, Patent Documents 2 to 3 disclose indenoperylene derivatives or fluoranthene derivatives as dopants for the light emitting layer.

Examples of the fluoranthene compound include the following compounds.

  Since the fluoranthene derivative used in the present invention has high planarity, it has excellent adhesion to the anode. In addition, it has excellent resistance to electrons, holes, or oxygen. For this reason, by allowing the fluoranthene derivative to be present between the anode and the hole transport layer as an interface improving layer, and when present, between the anode and the hole injection layer, Stability of the anode side region is improved. As a result, it is considered that an organic EL element that has a long life and suppresses an increase in driving voltage can be obtained.

  The emission color of the organic EL element of the present invention may be any color such as white, blue, red, etc. and is not particularly limited.

In the organic EL element of the present invention, conventional members can be used except for the interface improving layer, and other members will be described below.
The organic EL element is usually produced on a substrate, and the substrate supports the organic EL element. It is preferable to use a smooth substrate. When light is extracted through this substrate, it is desirable that the substrate is translucent and that the transmittance of light in the visible region with a wavelength of 400 to 700 nm is 50% or more.
As such a translucent board | substrate, a glass plate, a synthetic resin board, etc. are used suitably, for example. Examples of the glass plate include soda-lime glass, barium / strontium-containing glass, lead glass, aluminosilicate glass, borosilicate glass, barium borosilicate glass, and quartz. Examples of the synthetic resin plate include plates made of polycarbonate resin, acrylic resin, polyethylene terephthalate resin, polyether sulfide resin, polysulfone resin, and the like.

It is effective for the anode to inject holes into the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, or the light emitting layer and to have a work function of 4.5 eV or more. Specific examples of the anode material include indium tin oxide (ITO), a mixture of indium oxide and zinc oxide (IZO®), a mixture of ITO and cerium oxide (ITCO), a mixture of IZO and cerium oxide (IZCO), and indium oxide. And cerium oxide mixture (ICO), zinc oxide and aluminum oxide mixture (AZO), tin oxide (NESA), gold, silver, platinum, copper and the like.
The anode can be formed from these electrode materials by vapor deposition or sputtering.
When light emitted from the light emitting layer is extracted from the anode, it is preferable that the transmittance of the anode for light emission is greater than 10%. The sheet resistance of the anode is preferably several hundred Ω / □ or less. Although the film thickness of the anode depends on the material, it is usually 10 nm to 1 μm, preferably 10 to 200 nm.
A conductor layer (intervening layer) may be further laminated on the anode. Specific examples of the conductor layer include amorphous carbon, fluorocarbon, conductive polymer, inorganic semiconductor compound, and the like.
When providing the conductor layer, the anode layer, the conductor layer, and the interface improving layer are usually laminated in this order. In this case, the interface improving layer contributes to improving the adhesion with the conductor layer. Compared with the above-mentioned substances used for the conductor layer, the fluoranthene derivative used in the present invention can be formed on the anode or the conductor layer by a vapor deposition method in addition to the coating method and the like. The method can be adopted.

  In a preferred form of the organic EL element, a reducing dopant is contained in the region for transporting electrons or the interface region between the cathode and the organic layer. Here, the reducing dopant is defined as a substance capable of reducing the electron transporting compound. Accordingly, various materials can be used as long as they have a certain reducibility, such as alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, rare earth metals, alkali metal oxides, alkali metal halides, alkaline earth metals. Oxides, alkaline earth metal halides, rare earth metal oxides or rare earth metal halides, alkali metal carbonates, alkaline earth metal carbonates, rare earth metal carbonates, alkali metal organic complexes, alkalis At least one substance selected from the group consisting of organic complexes of earth metals and organic complexes of rare earth metals can be preferably used.

  Specifically, preferable reducing dopants include Na (work function: 2.36 eV), K (work function: 2.28 eV), Rb (work function: 2.16 eV) and Cs (work function: 1. 95 eV), at least one alkali metal selected from the group consisting of Ca (work function: 2.9 eV), Sr (work function: 2.0 to 2.5 eV), and Ba (work function: 2.52 eV) At least one alkaline earth metal selected from the group consisting of: A work function of 2.9 eV or less is particularly preferable. Among these, a more preferable reducing dopant is at least one alkali metal selected from the group consisting of K, Rb and Cs, more preferably Rb or Cs, and most preferably Cs. These alkali metals have particularly high reducing ability, and the addition of a relatively small amount to the electron injection region can improve the light emission luminance and extend the life of the organic EL element. Further, as a reducing dopant having a work function of 2.9 eV or less, a combination of these two or more alkali metals is also preferable. Particularly, a combination containing Cs, for example, Cs and Na, Cs and K, Cs and Rb, A combination of Cs, Na and K is preferred. By including Cs in combination, the reducing ability can be efficiently exhibited, and by adding to the electron injection region, the emission luminance and the life of the organic EL element can be improved.

  An electron injection layer made of an insulator or a semiconductor may be further provided between the cathode and the organic layer. With such a layer, current leakage can be effectively prevented, and the electron injection property can be improved. If the electron injection layer is an insulating thin film, a more uniform thin film is formed, so that pixel defects such as dark spots can be reduced.

As the insulator, it is preferable to use at least one metal compound selected from the group consisting of alkali metal chalcogenides, alkaline earth metal chalcogenides, alkali metal halides and alkaline earth metal halides. It is preferable that the electron injection layer is composed of these alkali metal chalcogenides and the like, since the electron injection property can be further improved. Specifically, preferable alkali metal chalcogenides include, for example, Li ₂ O, K ₂ O, Na ₂ S, Na ₂ Se, and Na ₂ O, and preferable alkaline earth metal chalcogenides include, for example, CaO, BaO. , SrO, BeO, BaS, and CaSe. Further, preferable alkali metal halides include, for example, LiF, NaF, KF, CsF, LiCl, KCl, and NaCl. Examples of preferable alkaline earth metal halides include fluorides such as CaF ₂ , BaF ₂ , SrF ₂ , MgF ₂ and BeF ₂ , and halides other than fluorides.

The inorganic compound constituting the electron injection layer is preferably a microcrystalline or amorphous insulating thin film.

As the cathode, a material having a work function (for example, 4 eV or less) metal, an alloy, an electrically conductive compound, and a mixture thereof as an electrode material is used. Specific examples of such electrode materials include sodium, sodium-potassium alloy, magnesium, lithium, cesium, magnesium / silver alloy, aluminum / aluminum oxide, Al / Li ₂ O, Al / LiO, Al / LiF, aluminum Examples include lithium alloys, indium, and rare earth metals.

The cathode can be produced from these electrode materials by vapor deposition or sputtering.
When light emitted from the light emitting layer is taken out from the cathode, the transmittance of the cathode for light emission is preferably greater than 10%. The sheet resistance as the cathode is preferably several hundred Ω / □ or less, and the film thickness is usually 10 nm to 1 μm, preferably 50 to 200 nm.

In general, since an organic EL element applies an electric field to an ultrathin film, pixel defects are likely to occur due to leakage or a short circuit. In order to prevent this, an insulating thin film layer (insulating layer) may be inserted between the pair of electrodes.
Examples of the material used for the insulating layer include aluminum oxide, lithium fluoride, lithium oxide, cesium fluoride, cesium oxide, magnesium oxide, magnesium fluoride, calcium oxide, calcium fluoride, aluminum nitride, titanium oxide, silicon oxide, Examples include germanium oxide, silicon nitride, boron nitride, molybdenum oxide, ruthenium oxide, and vanadium oxide. A mixture or laminate of these may be used.

  In an organic EL device having two or more light emitting layers for the purpose of obtaining white light emission or the like, a charge barrier layer may be provided between the light emitting layers in order to adjust the amount of light emitted from each light emitting layer. In the examples described later, the red light emitting layer, the charge barrier layer, and the blue light emitting layer are arranged in this order from the anode side. In this embodiment, the charge barrier layer functions as an electron barrier layer. For this reason, a material that functions as an electron barrier layer is used. When such an arrangement is performed, excitons are generated in the blue light emitting layer arranged on the cathode side of the electron barrier layer, and blue light emission that emits light is obtained. Moreover, since the energy gap of the host material contained in the blue light emitting layer is wide, the energy is transferred to the red light emitting layer, thereby contributing to light emission of the red light emitting layer.

  A hole blocking layer (hole blocking layer) may be provided on the cathode side of the light emitting layer, for example, between the light emitting layer and the electron transport layer. In particular, when this layer is provided on the cathode side of the phosphorescent light emitting layer, the contribution to the improvement of the luminous efficiency is great. The phosphorescent host has a large singlet energy gap, and it is difficult to confine charges in the light emitting layer. For this reason, it is preferable to provide a hole blocking layer having a function of confining charges and excitation energy in the light emitting layer. Examples of the material constituting the hole blocking layer include carbazole derivatives as used in the examples.

From the table, it can be seen that the organic EL elements of the examples have a long half-life of luminance and suppress an increase in driving voltage.

Example 5
A 25 mm × 75 mm × 1.1 mm thick glass substrate with ITO transparent electrode (anode) (manufactured by Geomatic) was ultrasonically cleaned in isopropyl alcohol for 5 minutes, and then UV ozone cleaning was performed for 30 minutes. The glass substrate with the transparent electrode line after the cleaning is mounted on the substrate holder of the vacuum deposition apparatus, and first, the transparent electrode is covered on the surface where the transparent electrode line is formed, and the film thickness is 3 nm as an interface improvement layer. B1 was formed at a film formation rate of 0.1 Å / s. On this B1 film, H1 having a thickness of 72 nm was formed at 1 Å / s as a hole transport layer.

  Further, following the formation of the H1 film, L3 and L5 were vapor-deposited at a film thickness of 5 nm so that L5 was 0.5% by weight to form a first light emitting layer. The first light emitting layer emits red light. Next, an H1 film having a thickness of 5 nm was formed as a charge barrier layer. L1 and L2 were vapor-deposited on the charge barrier layer so that L2 was 7.5% by weight to form a blue light-emitting layer (second light-emitting layer) having a thickness of 10 nm.

  Further, as a third light emitting layer, L1 and L4 were deposited at a film thickness of 30 nm and deposited so that L4 was 10% by weight to form a green light emitting layer, and then an electron transport layer was formed on this film. An E1 film having a thickness of 20 nm was formed. Thereafter, a 1.6 nm LiF film was formed as an electron injection layer. On the LiF film, metal Al was deposited to a thickness of 150 nm to form a metal cathode, thereby forming an organic EL device.

Example 6
An organic EL element was prepared and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 5 except that B2 was used as the interface improving layer.

  With respect to the organic EL elements obtained in Examples 5 and 6, the half life of luminance and the change in driving voltage were measured. The results are shown in Table 2. From the table, it can be seen that the organic EL element of the example has a long half-life of luminance even in the white element, and suppresses an increase in driving voltage.

Example 7
A 25 mm × 75 mm × 1.1 mm thick glass substrate with ITO transparent electrode (anode) (manufactured by Geomatic) was ultrasonically cleaned in isopropyl alcohol for 5 minutes, and then UV ozone cleaning was performed for 30 minutes. The glass substrate with the transparent electrode line after the cleaning is mounted on the substrate holder of the vacuum deposition apparatus, and first, the transparent electrode is covered on the surface where the transparent electrode line is formed, and the film thickness is 3 nm as an interface improvement layer. B1 was formed at a film formation rate of 0.1 Å / s. On this B1 film, H1 having a film thickness of 17 nm was formed at 1 Å / s as a hole transport layer.
Further, a compound (a) and Ir (Ph-ppy) 3 having a thickness of 40 nm were formed on the H1 film so that Ir (Ph-ppy) 3 was 10% by weight, thereby forming a green light emitting layer.
On this film, a compound (2) having a thickness of 10 nm was formed as a hole blocking layer, and E1 was further formed as an electron transport layer with a thickness of 40 nm. Thereafter, LiF was formed at a film thickness of 0.5 nm and a film formation rate of 0.1 Å / s. On the LiF film, metal Al was deposited at a film formation rate of 1 nm / s to 100 nm to form a metal cathode to form an organic EL element. The evaluation results of this organic EL element are shown in Table 3.

Example 8
An organic EL device was prepared and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 7 except that the compound (b) and Ir (Ph-ppy) 3 were used as the green light emitting layer. The evaluation results are shown in Table 3.

Example 9
An organic EL device was prepared and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 7 except that the compound (c) and Ir (Ph-ppy) 3 were used as the green light emitting layer. The evaluation results are shown in Table 3.

Example 10
An organic EL device was prepared and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 7 except that the compound (d) and Ir (piq) 3 were used as the red light emitting layer. The evaluation results are shown in Table 3.

  The organic EL device of the present invention can be suitably used for light sources such as flat light emitters and display backlights, display units such as mobile phones, PDAs, car navigation systems, car instrument panels, and lighting.
