The organic electroluminescence device comprises a pair of electrodes and an organic light emitting layer sandwiched in the electrodes, characterized in that a hole transporting zone provided between the electrodes comprises the phenylenediamine derivative represented by the specific structural formulae, and the phenylenediamine derivative has a hole mobility of 10−4 cm2/V·s or more upon using as a layer or a zone, with the organic light emitting layer containing a charge injection auxiliary.

Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescence device (hereinafter, referred to as organic EL device) and a phenylenediamine derivative, and more particularly, an organic EL device comprising a pair of electrodes and an organic light emitting layer sandwiched in the electrodes, and a phenylenediamine derivative used as a material for the organic EL device and the like. [0001]
    • BACKGROUND ART
  • An organic EL device is being earnestly studied since it is a complete solid state device and can form a display and an illumination of light-weight and thin-form that is driven at a low voltage. [0002]
  • A problem on applying the organic EL device to a display is to make the driving voltage being a lower voltage. For example, by using adendrimer of an aromatic amine disclosed in JP-A-4-308688 as a hole injection material, the driving voltage is lowered. The compound has a small ionization potential of 5.2 eV owing to the phenylenediamine skeleton, and exhibits an effect of lowering the driving voltage. [0003]
  • However, the compound having a phenylenediamine skeleton has a small hole mobility of 3×10[0004] −5 cm2/V·s, and therefore the driving voltage in the region of high electric current injection is insufficiently lowered.
  • A high molecular weight aromatic amine compound disclosed in JP-A-9-301934 has a small ionization potential of 5.2 eV but has a problem in that the hole mobility is insufficient. It is expected that the hole mobility be lowered due to the mixing of impurities. [0005]
  • That is, in the fluorescent spectrum of the compound disclosed in JP-A-9-301934 (FIG. 1), a light emission component having a maximum fluorescent wavelength peak of 500 nm or higher is observed, which is not present originally. This shows that impurities are mixed. Furthermore, the voltage is increased by 2.7 V with only driving time of 76 hours, which becomes a hindrance of lowering the driving voltage. Accordingly, in the device disclosed in the publication, the hole mobility is lowered and the driving voltage is increased by the impurities. [0006]
  • Furthermore, because it has a green fluorescent component, when the compound is used in the hole transporting zone of a blue light emitting device, blue light emission cannot be obtained due to mixing of green light emission component. [0007]
  • International Patent Publication WO98/30071 (published on Jul. 9, 1998) discloses an organic electroluminescence device using a compound similar to the present invention, but fails to disclose an effect in that a particular low voltage can be obtained on combining with a light emitting layer containing a charge injection auxiliary. [0008]
    • DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
  • An object of the invention is to provide an organic EL device having a long life time that can decrease the driving voltage of the organic EL device. [0009]
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a material having a small ionization potential and exhibits a large hole mobility when it is used as a layer or a zone. [0010]
  • The invention is an organic electroluminescence device comprising a pair of electrodes and an organic light emitting layer sandwiched in the electrodes, characterized in that a hole transporting zone provided between the electrodes comprises a phenylenediamine derivative represented by the general formula (I), the general formula (II) or the general formula (II)′, the phenylenediamine derivative exhibits a hole mobility of at least 10[0011] −4 cm2/V·s on using as a layer or a zone, and the organic light emitting layer contains a charge injection auxiliary.

  • The hole transporting zone herein means a region of the organic EL device that has a function of transporting a hole from an anode. The function of transporting a hole is that it has a hole mobility of 10[0015] −4 cm2/V·s or more under an electric field of from 104 to 106 V/cm. Specific examples of the hole transporting zone include a hole injecting layer, a hole transporting layer and the like, and a light emitting layer may be included in some cases.
  • In the invention, the compound represented by the general formulae (I), (II) and (II)′ has a phenylenediamine skeleton and has a small ionization potential, and furthermore an excellent hole mobility can be ensured by the central skeleton shown by X and Y. In the invention, because the phenylenediamine derivative suitable as a hole injecting and transporting material is contained in the hole transporting zone, the driving voltage of the organic EL device can be decreased, and the increase of the driving voltage due to continuous driving can be suppressed. [0016]
  • Furthermore, in the invention, a light emitting layer containing a charge injection auxiliary is necessarily used. [0017]
  • The charge injection auxiliary herein means a compound having an ionization energy that is smaller than-the ionization energy of the main material forming the light emitting layer, and preferably a material assisting hole injection by adding in an amount of from 0.1 to 20 wt % into the light emitting layer. By the addition of the charge injection auxiliary, the organic EL device of the invention can lower the driving voltage and also can stabilize the driving voltage. The use of the phenylenediamine and the addition of the charge injection auxiliary into the light emitting layer bring about the effect that has not been obtained. [0018]
  • As the charge injection auxiliary, a compound, such as a styrylamine derivative, a distyrylarylene derivative, a tristyrylarylene derivative, a diamine derivative and the like, can be used, and particularly, a compound having an ionization energy of from 5.0 to 5.6 eV is preferred. The charge injection auxiliary may emit light in response to the recombination of a hole and an electron occurring in the light emitting layer, or may exhibit the effect of assisting charge injection without emission of light.

  • The hole transporting zone preferably has a hole injection layer containing the phenylenediamine derivative represented by the general formula (I), the general formula (II) or the general formula (II)′. [0020]
  • Alternatively, the hole transporting zone may have a hole transporting layer containing the phenylenediamine derivative represented by the general formula (I), the general formula (II) or the general formula (II)′. [0021]

  • Because the compound of the general formulae (I), (II) and (II)′ has a small ionization potential, impurities are liable to be mixed, such as oxidation on purifying, and the hole mobility may be decreased by the impurities in some cases. [0047]
  • That is, in the method of JP-A-9-301934, because impurities are mixed in the high molecular weight aromatic amine compound as observed in the fluorescent spectrum, a sufficient hole mobility cannot be obtained due to traps and the like. [0048]
  • On the other hand, as a result of earnest investigation by the inventors with respect to the purification method of the compound, it has been found that a pure compound can be obtained by using a toluene/hexane series solvent as a solvent for column purification. According to the purification method, a compound obtained that has a higher purity than the method disclosed in JP-A-9-301934 using a halogen series solvent on column purification. [0049]

While the formation of the hole injection layer can be conducted by a method, such as a vacuum vapor deposition method, a spin coating method, a casting method, an LB method and the like, as described in the foregoing, it is preferred to form by a vacuum vapor deposition method since a uniform film can be easily obtained and a pinhole is difficult to form. In the case where the hole injection layer is produced by the vacuum vapor deposition method, the vapor deposition conditions vary depending on the compound used (the material for the hole injection layer), the crystalline structure and the association structure of the objective hole injection layer, and the like. In general, it is preferred that the conditions are appropriately selected from the temperature of the vapor deposition source of from 50 to 450° C., the degree of vacuum of from 10[0138] −7 to 10−3 torr, the vapor deposition rate of from 0.01 to 50 nm/sec, the substrate temperature of from −50 to 300° C., and the film thickness of from 5 nm to 5 μm.
  • The formation of the light emitting layer, in which the light emitting layer is provided on the hole injection layer, can be conducted by forming the desired organic light emitting material into a thin film by a method, such as a vacuum vapor deposition method, sputtering, a spin coating method, a casting method and the like, and it is preferred to form by a vacuum vapor deposition method since a uniform film can be easily obtained and a pinhole is difficult to form. In the case where the light emitting layer is produced by the vacuum vapor deposition method, the vapor deposition conditions vary depending on the compound used, and can be generally selected from the similar ranges of the conditions as the hole injection layer. [0139]
  • The electron injection layer is provided on the light emitting layer. As similar to the hole injection layer and the light emitting layer, it is preferred to form by a vacuum vapor deposition method to necessarily obtain a uniform film. The vapor deposition conditions may be selected from the similar ranges of the conditions as the hole injection layer and the light emitting layer. [0140]
  • While depending on the layer containing the hole transporting zone, the compound of the invention can be subjected to co-vapor deposition with other materials when the vacuum vapor deposition method is used. When the spin coating method is used, the other materials can be contained by mixing. [0141]
  • The cathode is finally accumulated to obtain the organic EL device. [0142]
  • The cathode comprises a metal and can be formed by a vapor deposition method or sputtering. However, in order to protect the underlying organic layer from damage on forming the film, the vacuum vapor deposition method is preferred. [0143]
  • The organic EL device described in the foregoing is preferably produced with a single shot of evacuation continuously from the anode through the cathode. [0144]
  • In the case where a direct current voltage is applied to the organic EL device, light emission can be observed when a voltage of from 5 to 40 V is applied with the anode being positive and the cathode being negative. When the voltage is applied with the reverse polarity, no electric current flows, and light emission does not occur. Furthermore, when a alternating current voltage is applied, uniform light emission is observed when the polarity becomes such a state that the anode is positive and the cathode is negative. The wave form of the alternating current may be arbitrary. [0145]

  • It was found from the comparison between the results obtained in the light emitting device of Comparative Example and the results obtained in the light emitting devices of Example 18 to Example 23 that in the case where STBA-1 was used, it had an extremely short life time as a light emitting material.

  • However, the compound represented by the general formula (III) of the invention has a long half life time and is difficult to be degraded on electron injection. [0301]

However, in the case where PT-01 is used in the hole transporting zone as in the embodiment described above, no problem arises since the electron injection amount is small and substantially no degrading occur. Furthermore, when the compounds represented by the general formulae (III), (IV) and (V) having high resistance to electron injection are used, the life time of the light emitting device itself can be prolonged. [0305]
  • It was understood from the foregoing results that by using the compound of the invention in the hole transporting zone, the production of a long-life organic EL device having an extremely reduced voltage required for exhibiting constant light emission could be realized. [0306]
