DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Definition

In the present specification, a hydrogen atom means an atom including isotopes different in the number of neutrons, namely, a protium, a deuterium and a tritium.
In the present specification, a term “ring carbon atoms” represents the number of carbon atoms among atoms forming a subject ring itself of a compound having a structure in which atoms are bonded in a ring form (for example, a monocyclic compound, a fused ring compound, a cross-linked compound, a carbocyclic compound or a heterocyclic compound). When the subject ring is substituted by a substituent, the carbon contained in the substituent is not included in the number of ring carbon atoms. The same shall apply to the “ring carbon atoms” described below, unless otherwise noted. For example, a benzene ring has 6 ring carbon atoms, a naphthalene ring has 10 ring carbon atoms, a pyridine ring has 5 ring carbon atoms, and a furan ring has 4 ring carbon atoms. Further, for example, a 9,9-diphenylfluorenyl group has 13 ring carbon atoms, and a 9,9′-spirobifluorenyl group has 25 ring carbon atoms.
Further, when the benzene ring or the naphthalene ring is substituted by an alkyl group as a substituent, for example, the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl group is not included in the ring carbon atoms.
In the present specification, a term “ring atoms” represents the number of atoms forming a subject ring itself of a compound having a structure in which atoms are bonded in a ring form (for example, a monocycle, a fused ring and a ring assembly) (for example, a monocyclic compound, a fused ring compound, a cross-linked compound, a carbocyclic compound or a heterocyclic compound). The term “ring atoms” does not include atoms which do not form the ring (for example, a hydrogen atom which terminates a bond of the atoms forming the ring) or atoms contained in a substituent when the ring is substituted by the substituent. The same shall apply to the “ring atoms” described below, unless otherwise noted. For example, a pyridine ring has 6 ring atoms, a quinazoline ring has 10 ring atoms, and a furan ring has 5 ring atoms. A hydrogen atom bonded with a carbon atom of the pyridine ring or the quinazoline ring or an atom forming the substituent is not included in the number of the ring atoms.
In the present specification, a term “XX to YY carbon atoms” in an expression of “substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group having XX to YY carbon atoms” represents the number of carbon atoms when the ZZ group is unsubstituted. The number of carbon atoms of a substituent when the ZZ group is substituted is not included. Here, “YY” is larger than “XX”, and “XX” and “YY” each mean an integer of 1 or more.
In the present specification, a term “XX to YY atoms” in an expression of “substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group having XX to YY atoms” represents the number of atoms when the ZZ group is unsubstituted. The number of atoms of a substituent when the group is substituted is not included. Here, “YY” is larger than “XX”, and “XX” and “YY” each mean an integer of 1 or more.
A term “unsubstituted” in the case of “substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group” means that the ZZ group is not substituted by a substituent, and a hydrogen atom is bonded therewith. Alternatively, a term “substituted” in the case of “substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group” means that one or more hydrogen atoms in the ZZ group are substituted by a substituent. Similarly, a term “substituted” in the case of “BB group substituted by an AA group” means that one or more hydrogen atoms in the BB group are substituted by the AA group.
Hereinafter, the substituent described herein will be described.

Herein, a case where “one or more sets of two or more groups adjacent to each other are bonded with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted and saturated or unsaturated ring” will be described by taking, as an example, a case of an anthracene compound represented by the following formula (XY-80) in which a mother skeleton is an anthracene ring.
For example, two adjacent to each other into one set when “one or more sets of two or more groups adjacent to each other are bonded with each other to form the ring” among R₉₂₁to R₉₃₀include R₉₂₁and R₉₂₂, R₉₂₂and R₉₂₃, R₉₂₃and R₉₂₄, R₉₂₄and R₉₃₀, R₉₃₀and R₉₂₅, R₉₂₅and R₉₂₆, R₉₂₆and R₉₂₇, R₉₂₇and R₉₂₈, R₉₂₈and R₉₂₉, and R₉₂₉and R₉₂₁.
The above-described “one or more sets” means that two or more sets of two groups adjacent to each other may simultaneously form the ring. For example, a case where R₉₂₁and R₉₂₂are bonded with each other to form a ring A, and simultaneously R₉₂₅and R₉₂₆are bonded with each other to form a ring B is represented by the following formula (XY-81).
A case where “two or more groups adjacent to each other” form a ring means that, for example, R₉₂₁and R₉₂₂are bonded with each other to form a ring A, and R₉₂₂and R₉₂₃are bonded with each other to form a ring C. A case where the ring A and ring C sharing R₉₂₂are formed, in which the ring A and the ring C are fused to the anthracene mother skeleton by three of R₉₂₁to R₉₂₃adjacent to each other, is represented by the following (XY-82).
The rings A to C formed in the formulas (XY-81) and (XY-82) are a saturated or unsaturated ring.
A term “unsaturated ring” means an aromatic hydrocarbon ring or an aromatic heterocyclic ring. A term “saturated ring” means an aliphatic hydrocarbon ring or an aliphatic heterocyclic ring.
For example, the ring A formed by R₉₂₁and R₉₂₂being bonded with each other, represented by the formula (XY-81), means a ring formed by a carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton bonded with R₉₂₁, a carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton bonded with R₉₂₂, and one or more arbitrary elements. Specific examples include, when the ring A is formed by R₉₂₁and R₉₂₂, a case where an unsaturated ring is formed of a carbon atom of an anthracene skeleton bonded with R₉₂₁, a carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton bonded with R₉₂₂, and four carbon atoms, in which a ring formed by R₉₂₁and R₉₂₂is formed into a benzene ring. Further, when a saturated ring is formed, the ring is formed into a cyclohexane ring.
Here, “arbitrary elements” are preferably a C element, a N element, an O element and a S element. In the arbitrary elements (for example, a case of the C element or the element), the carbon atoms of the anthracene mother skeleton that do not form the ring may be terminated with the hydrogen atom or the like, or may be substituted by an arbitrary substituent. When the ring contains the arbitrary elements other than the C element, the ring to be formed is a heterocyclic ring.
The number of “one or more arbitrary elements” forming the saturated or unsaturated ring is preferably 2 or more and 15 or less, more preferably 3 or more and 12 or less, and further preferably 3 or more and 5 or less.
When the above-described “saturated or unsaturated ring” has a substituent, the substituent is as described above.
In one embodiment of the present specification, the substituent (hereinafter, referred to as an “arbitrary substituent” in several cases) in the case of the “substituted or unsubstituted” is a group selected from the group consisting of
an unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 50 carbon atoms,
an unsubstituted alkenyl group having 2 to 50 carbon atoms,

a halogen atom, a cyano group, a nitro group,
an unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 50 ring carbon atoms, and
an unsubstituted monovalent heterocyclic group having 5 to 50 ring atoms.
In one embodiment, the substituent in the case of “substituted or unsubstituted” is a group selected from the group consisting of
an alkyl group having 1 to 50 carbon atoms,
an aryl group having 6 to 50 ring carbon atoms, and
a monovalent heterocyclic group having 5 to 50 ring atoms.

an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms,
an aryl group having 6 to 18 ring carbon atoms, and
a monovalent heterocyclic group having 5 to 18 ring atoms.
Specific examples of each group of the arbitrary substituent described above are as described above.
Herein, unless otherwise specified, the saturated or unsaturated ring (preferably substituted or unsubstituted and saturated or unsaturated five-membered or six-membered ring, more preferably a benzene ring) may be formed by the arbitrary substituents adjacent to each other.
Herein, unless otherwise specified, the arbitrary substituent may further have the substituent. Specific examples of the substituent that the arbitrary substituent further has include to the ones same as the arbitrary substituent described above.

The organic layer includes at least one layer composed of an organic compound. Alternatively, the organic layer is formed by stacking a plurality of layers composed of the organic compound. The organic layer may further contain an inorganic compound in addition to the organic compound.
In one embodiment, at least one layer of the organic layers is the emitting layer.
In one embodiment, when the emitting layer contains the compound represented by the formula (1-1) and the compound represented by the formula (10), a content of the compound represented by the formula (1-1) is preferably 1 mass % or more and 20 mass % or less based on a total mass of the emitting layer.

The organic layer may be formed, for example, as one layer of the emitting layer, or may include other layers which can be adopted in the layer configuration of the organic EL device.
The layer that can be adopted in the layer configuration of the organic EL device is not particularly limited, but specific examples thereof include a hole-transporting zone (a hole-transporting layer, a hole-injecting layer, an electron-blocking layer, an exciton-blocking layer or the like) provided between the anode and the emitting layer, an emitting layer, a space layer, and an electron-transporting zone (an electron-transporting layer, an electron-injecting layer, a hole-blocking layer or the like) provided between the cathode and the emitting layer.
One embodiment of the organic EL device preferably has the hole-transporting layer between the anode and the emitting layer.
One embodiment of the organic EL device preferably has the electron-transporting layer between the cathode and the emitting layer.
Specific examples of a typified device configuration of the organic EL device of the invention include structures such as

(2) an anode/a hole-injecting layer/an emitting layer/a cathode,
(3) an anode/an emitting layer/an electron-injecting-transporting layer/a cathode,

Among the above-described structures, a configuration of (8) is preferably used, but the configuration is not limited thereto.
Further, the emitting layer may be a phosphorescent emitting layer or a fluorescent emitting layer, and may include a plurality of emitting layers. When the organic EL device has the plurality of emitting layers, the organic EL device may have a space layer between the respective emitting layers for the purpose of preventing excitons generated in the phosphorescent emitting layer from diffusing into the fluorescent emitting layer.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of one example of the organic EL device in an embodiment of the invention.
An organic EL device 1 has a transparent substrate 2, an anode 3, a cathode 4, and an organic layer 10 arranged between the anode 3 and the cathode 4.
The organic layer 10 has an emitting layer 5 described above, and may have a hole-injecting-transporting layer 6 or the like between the emitting layer 5 and the anode 3, and an electron-injecting-transporting layer 7 or the like between the emitting layer 5 and the cathode 4.
Further, the electron barrier layer may be provided on a side of the anode 3 of the emitting layer 5, and a hole barrier layer may be provided on a side of the cathode 4 of the emitting layer 5, respectively.
Accordingly, electrons or holes can be confined in the emitting layer 5 to enhance generation probability of the excitons in the emitting layer 5.
Moreover, the “hole-injecting-transporting layer” herein means “at least one of the hole-injecting layer and the hole-transporting layer”, and the “electron-injecting-transporting layer” herein means “at least one of the electron-injecting layer and the electron-transporting layer”.
The compound represented by the formula (1-1) and the compound represented by the formula (10), to be contained in the above-described emitting layer 5, may have one kind alone, or two or more kinds thereof, respectively.
A substrate is used as a support of an emitting device. As the substrate, glass, quartz, plastics or the like can be used, for example. Further, a flexible substrate may be used. A term “flexible substrate” means a bendable (flexible) substrate, and specific examples thereof include a plastic substrate formed of polycarbonate or polyvinyl chloride.
For the anode formed on the substrate, metal, alloy, an electrically conductive compound, a mixture thereof or the like, each having a large work function (specifically 4.0 eV or more), is preferably used. Specific examples thereof include indium oxide-tin oxide (ITO: Indium Tin Oxide), silicon or silicon oxide-containing indium oxide-tin oxide, indium oxide-zinc oxide, tungsten oxide, zinc oxide-containing indium oxide, and graphene. In addition thereto, specific examples thereof include gold (Au), platinum (Pt), or nitride of a metallic material (for example, titanium nitride).
The hole-injecting layer is a layer containing a material having high hole-injection properties. As the material having high hole-injection properties, such a material can be used as molybdenum oxide, titanium oxide, vanadium oxide, rhenium oxide, ruthenium oxide, chromium oxide, zirconium oxide, hafnium oxide, tantalum oxide, silver oxide, tungsten oxide, manganese oxide, an aromatic amine compound, a ladder-type compound such as a fluorene derivative, or a polymer compound (an oligomer, a dendrimer, a polymer or the like).
The hole-transporting layer is a layer containing a material having high hole-transporting properties. For the hole-transporting layer, an aromatic amine compound, a carbazole derivative, an anthracene derivative, or the like can be used. A polymer compound such as poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (abbreviation: PVK) and poly(4-vinyltriphenylamine) (abbreviation: PVTPA) can also be used. However, a material other than the above-described materials may be used as long as the material has higher transporting properties of holes in comparison with electrons. It should be noted that the layer containing the material having high hole-transporting properties may be formed into not only a monolayer, but also a layer in which two or more layers formed of the above-described materials are stacked.
The electron-transporting layer is a layer containing a substance having high electron-transporting properties. For the electron-transporting layer, such a material can be used as 1) a metal complex such as a lithium complex, an aluminum complex, a beryllium complex and a zinc complex; 2) a heteroaromatic compound such as an imidazole derivative, a benzimidazole derivative, an azine derivative, a carbazole derivative and a phenanthroline derivative; and 3) a polymer compound.
The electron-injecting layer is a layer containing a material having high electron-injection properties. For the electron-injecting layer, such a material can be used as alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or a compound thereof, such as lithium (Li), a lithium complex, lithium fluoride (LiF), cesium fluoride (CsF), calcium fluoride (CaF₂) and lithium oxide (LiOx).
For the cathode, metal, alloy, an electrically conductive compound, a mixture thereof, or the like, each having a small work function (specifically, 3.8 eV or less) is preferably used. Specific examples of such a cathode material include an element belonging to group 1 or group 2 of the periodic table of the elements, namely, alkali metal such as lithium (Li) and cesium (Cs), alkaline earth metal such as magnesium (Mg), and alloy containing the metal thereof (for example, MgAg and AlLi).
In one embodiment of the organic EL device of the invention, a method for forming each layer is not limited. A conventionally-known method for forming each layer according to a vacuum deposition process, a spin coating process or the like can be used.

(2) Fabrication of organic EL device
A 25 mm×75 mm×1.1 mm-thick glass substrate with an ITO transparent electrode (anode) (manufactured by GEOMATEC Co., Ltd.) was subjected to ultrasonic cleaning in isopropyl alcohol for 5 minutes, and then subjected to UV-ozone cleaning for 30 minutes. A thickness of ITO was adjusted to 130 nm.
The glass substrate with the transparent electrode after being cleaned was mounted onto
a substrate holder in a vacuum vapor deposition apparatus. First, a compound HI was deposited on a surface on the side on which the transparent electrode was formed so as to cover the transparent electrode to form a compound HI film having a thickness of 5 nm. The HI film functions as a hole-injecting layer.
Subsequent to formation of the HI film, a compound HT1 was deposited thereon to form an HT1 film having a thickness of 80 nm on the HI film. The HT1 film functions as a first hole-transporting layer.
Subsequent to formation of the HT1 film, a compound HT2 was deposited thereon to form an HT2 film having a thickness of 10 nm on the HT1 film. The HT2 film functions as a second hole-transporting layer.
BH-1 (host material) and BD-1 (dopant material) were co-deposited on the HT2 film to be 4% in a proportion (mass ratio) of the compound BD-1 to form an emitting layer having a thickness of 25 nm.
HBL was deposited on the emitting layer to form an electron-transporting layer having a thickness of 10 nm. ET as an electron-injecting material was deposited on the electron-transporting layer to form an electron-injecting layer having a thickness of 15 nm. LiF was deposited on the electron-injecting layer to form a LiF film having a thickness of 1 nm. Al metal was deposited on the LiF film to form a metal cathode having a thickness of 80 nm.
An organic EL device was fabricated as described above. Compounds used therefor are shown below.
