Since the fine particle bonding film of the present embodiment is formed using the electrospray method, the electrospray method will be described first.
- FIG. 1 shows a conceptual diagram of a film forming method using an electrospray method.
- 1 is an object to be deposited
- 2 is a solution side electrode
- 3 is a spray nozzle
- 4 is a high voltage power source
- 5 is a solution of coating material (also referred to as coating liquid).
- one of the anode and the cathode of the high-voltage power supply 4 is connected to the deposition target 1 and the other is connected to the solution-side electrode 2 immersed in the coating solution 5. Then, opposite charges are applied to the coating liquid 5 and the deposition target 1, and an electric field is formed between the spray nozzle 3 and the deposition target 1. In this state, the charged coating liquid 5 is sprayed by the spray nozzle 3. The dispersed liquid droplets are guided to an electric field and land on the film formation target 1 to form a film.

- FIG. 3 shows an AFM (atomic force microscope) image of the film in FIG.
- AFM atomic force microscope
- the film properly formed by the electrospray method has a continuous film structure in which fine droplet particles are uniformly deposited and have no gaps even when viewed at the micro or nano level.
- the concavo-convex shape based on the droplet particles is formed. That is, the film formed by the electrospray method has both properties of the film and particles.
- Such a film is considered to be configured as shown in FIG. That is, when the droplets land on the deposition target, the solvent still remains, and the droplets that land adjacently at the same timing are rapidly dried while being connected at the surface layer portion, leaving a granular shape. It is thought that it becomes a continuous film in the state.
- 7 represents the film
- 8 represents a particulate portion (particle nucleus) of the film
- 9 represents a joint portion of the film 7 that integrally couples these particle nuclei. .
- such a structure is defined as “a film-like structure formed by continuous bonding of fine particles”.
- the particle nuclei of the fine particle binding film are very small and nano level. It is expected that the particle nuclei have a relatively large density and high electrical characteristics and light emission characteristics.
- nano-level fine irregularities are formed on the entire film surface, so that the surface area is substantially increased and the drying speed is increased. That is, if a droplet reaches the deposition target, it is immediately dried. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform a special drying process, and the manufacturing process can be simplified.
- a solvent having a high boiling point is often used in order to make the film uniform, but in that case, the manufacturing process is likely to be complicated such that a vacuum heat treatment is required to dry the solvent.
- the film can be easily laminated. As described above, it is difficult to form a laminated structure by a general coating method. However, according to the electrospray method, the sprayed droplets are dried almost simultaneously with the landing, so that they can be stacked without dissolving the lower layer film.
- a low molecular organic material (low molecular organic material) is usually formed into a film by a vacuum deposition method.
- a low molecular organic material is sublimated to be refined to a molecular or cluster level and deposited to form a film.

- the electrospray method it is possible to produce an organic EL device having the same material and the same structure as the organic EL device conventionally produced by the vacuum vapor deposition method, in combination with the fact that it can be laminated.
- the particle size of each particle nucleus is 100 nm or less. This is because if the particle diameter exceeds 100 nm, black spots may occur.
- the particle size measured from the AFM image of the film can be used as the particle size here.
- the organic layer formed using the electrospray method may be a light emitting layer, a charge injection layer, or a charge transport layer.
- the electrospray method is performed in a state where an electric field is formed. Therefore, since the formed film is subjected to the action of an electric field, it has an electrically stable structure and a highly reliable organic EL element can be obtained. For example, if an organic material having a dipole moment or an electrical local site is used, the formed film has electrical ordering.

- the coating liquid 15 charged from the spray nozzle 13 to the substrate 10 side in this state.
- the charged droplets are subjected to the action of an electric field and are guided by electric lines of force to be displaced. Therefore, if the potential of the lower layer electrodes 11a to 11c is controlled, the film can be formed only on an arbitrary lower layer electrode.
- the droplet since the lower electrode 11a, 11c is given a positive charge of the same type as the droplet, the droplet is electrically repelled and does not land on the lower electrode 11a, 11c.
- the droplets since a relatively negative charge is applied to the lower electrode 11b, the droplets selectively land on the lower electrode 11b.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a PL emission image of the film thus patterned with the luminescent dye.
- 18 is a region where no film is formed
- 19 is a light emitting region where a film is formed.
- the lower layer electrode 11b exists below the light emitting region 19, and the lower layer electrodes 11a and 11c exist in the region 18 where no film is formed. Thus, it becomes possible to pattern clearly.
- the organic EL element constituting one pixel is divided into a plurality of, practically three or more sub-pixels, It is necessary to pattern the light emitting layer in the subpixels using light emitting materials having different colors such as R (red), G (green), and B (blue).
- an arbitrary light emitting layer can be formed on an arbitrary lower layer electrode by controlling the potential of each lower layer electrode as described above. Then, it is not necessary to prepare a dedicated mask, and the film can be formed freely according to the surface shape of the lower layer electrode. Therefore, the manufacturing process is simplified and the on-demand property is excellent.
- the light emitting material used for the organic EL element is an organic substance, the emission spectrum is broad by itself and the color purity is not so high.
- color reproducibility of NTSC ratio of 100% or more is often required, whereas in the emission spectrum of main light emitting materials, color reproducibility of NTSC ratio of about 70% is the limit.
- the thickness of each layer constituting the organic layer is about 10 to 60 nm.
- the film thickness of the entire organic layer is generally about 100 to 150 nm. Since the film thickness of this level is easily affected by the interference of light with visible light, the color reproducibility of the organic layer greatly changes with a slight change in the film thickness. In other words, color purity can be improved by adjusting the film thickness of the organic layer.
- the electrospray method can be used, patterning can be performed for each organic layer of each color, so that the film thickness can be easily changed for each organic layer.
- the potential can be sequentially controlled for each color organic layer to form a desired film thickness, or the electrode potential can be controlled in a series of film formation processes to adjust the film formation time.
- the organic layers having different film thicknesses can be formed simultaneously.
- the film thickness of materials other than the light-emitting layer that constitutes the organic layer such as the charge injection layer and the charge transport layer, the color purity of each color is improved and the color reproducibility of the display is improved. Can be made.
- patterning can be performed at a high tact time and at a low cost, so that a charge transport layer or the like can be formed using a material optimal for the light emitting material of each light emitting layer. .

- the film forming method may be an electrospray method or a vacuum vapor deposition method. Thereafter, a cathode 26 was formed on the electron transport layer 25 by vacuum vapor deposition to complete a laminated structure of the organic EL element.
- the color purity of the conventional display is R (0.67, 0.33), G (0.30, 0.63), B (0.15, 0.18), and NTSC ratio 62 for white display %, Whereas the color purity of the display of this embodiment is R (0.68, 0.33), G (0.18, 0.74), B (0.13, 0.07). Thus, the NTSC ratio in white display was 101%.
- the current efficiency was improved by 12% and the current amount by 1.8 times compared to the comparative example.
- the current efficiency was improved by 12 to 15%, and the current amount was improved by 1.5 to 2 times. This is presumably because the charge injection layer was promoted and the amount of current increased because the surface area of the charge injection layer and the light emitting layer was increased in the examples.
- the current efficiency at the time of high current in the example is higher than that of the comparative example, so that the injection of charge, the stability of the material when a high electric field is applied, and the ordering in the film are improved. It is thought that it is working.
- the band gap, HOMO, and LUMO levels of the light emitting layer 24 of each subpixel 28 are different. Therefore, when the same material is used for the charge (hole, electron) injection layer or the like of each subpixel 28, it is not necessarily optimal for each light emitting layer 24.
- the light emitting material that emits blue light has a LUMO level that is 0.3 eV higher than light emitting materials that emit light of other colors, there is a problem that the light emission voltage becomes relatively high without electrons being injected well.
- the electron transport layer 25 was patterned using the electrospray method, as in the above embodiment.
- each light emitting layer 24 first, the electron transport layer 25 was formed on the G subpixel 28b and the R subpixel 28c. An electron transport layer 25 was formed on the B subpixel 28a using a different material. In the display thus obtained, the optimum electron transport layer 25 is also formed in the B subpixel 28a. As a result, charge injection was promoted and the light emission voltage could be lowered. In addition, since the electron transport layer 25 was also formed by the electrospray method, an effect of reducing the drive voltage by 0.2 V was obtained.
- different optimal materials may be used not only for the B subpixel 28a but also for the electron transport layer 25 of the R subpixel 28c and the G subpixel 28b. Further, not only the electron transport layer 25 but also the hole injection layer 23a and the hole transport layer 23b may use different materials.

Abstract
Description
真空蒸着法で複数の層を積層形成する場合、各層で蒸着レートが異なることが多い。そのため、最も蒸着レートの遅い層によって製造プロセスのタクトタイムが制約され、高生産性を実現する上でボトルネックとなっている。
塗布法は、ディスプレイ産業において広く用いられており、例えば、G8やG10サイズのガラス基板に対し、精度高く均一に成膜する技術が確立されている。しかし、有機EL素子の場合、複数の層を積層する必要があり、成膜した膜を焼結等して不溶化する処理を行わない限り、新たに積層される膜に含まれる溶媒によって先に積層されている膜が溶解し、適正な積層構造を形成することができない。
特許文献4のようなマスク蒸着法では、マスクにも蒸着するため、材料を部分的にしか利用できない。例えば、カラー化するために3つのサブピクセル(RGB)を個別に蒸着する場合には、およそ3分の2の材料が捨てられ、真空蒸着法による材料の利用効率が10%前後であることからすると、マスク蒸着法での材料の利用効率は数%に過ぎない。
特許文献5のようなインクジェット法は、所望の箇所に溶液を滴下して成膜することができるため、オンデマンドでパターンニングできるという利点がある。しかしながら、インクジェット法は、メカニカルな位置ずれやヘッドの目詰まりなどが生じるため、溶液が滴下する位置の精度はそれほど高くない。また、溶液が周囲に飛散してRGBの混色が発生するおそれもある。
一方、特許文献3や特許文献6、7の方法は、マスクへの電圧の印加により、マスクへの塗布材料の付着量を減らすことができ、材料の利用効率を向上させることができる。
本発明に係る有機EL素子の有機層には、微粒子が連続的に結合して形成された膜状構造を有する層(微粒子結合膜ともいう)が存在する。本実施形態の微粒子結合膜は、エレクトロスプレー法を用いて形成されているため、まず、エレクトロスプレー法について説明する。
微粒子結合膜の粒子核は、非常に小さくナノレベルである。粒子核は相対的に密度が大きく、電気特性や発光特性が高くなることが期待される。微粒子結合膜の場合、膜表面の全体にナノレベルの微細な凹凸が形成されているため、その表面積は実質的に大きくなって乾燥速度が速くなる。つまり、被成膜対象に液滴が着弾すれば、直ちに乾燥する。従って、特別な乾燥処理を行う必要が無く、製造工程を簡易化できる。
エレクトロスプレー法は、パターンニングに好適に利用できる。例えば、図5に、エレクトロスプレー法を用いてパターンニングする場合の概念図を示す。なお、図中、10は基板であり、11a~11cは、それぞれ基板の上に形成された下層電極である。12は溶液側電極、13はスプレーノズル、14は高圧電源、15は塗液である。本例では、溶液側電極12及び下層電極11a,11cは、それぞれ高圧電源の14の正極に電気的に接続されており、下層電極11bは、接地された負極に接続されている。
有機EL素子に用いられる発光材料は有機物であることから、単体では発光スペクトルはブロードであり、色純度はあまり高くない。ディスプレイでは、例えばNTSC比100%以上の色再現性が求められることが多いのに対し、主な発光材料の発光スペクトルでは、NTSC比70%程度の色再現性が限界である。
発光する色の異なる発光材料は、通常、バンドギャップや分子構造が異なるため、それらに対する電荷輸送層等の最適な材料も異なることが多い。しかし、従来の方法では、発光材料ごとに材料を変えて電荷輸送層等をパターンニングするのは難しく、全面同じ材料で電荷輸送層等を成膜するのが一般的である。
次に、具体的な実施形態を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
図7~図9に、本実施形態のカラーディスプレイ(有機EL表示装置)の表示部を構成している有機EL素子を示す。図7は、有機EL素子の基本構造をその上面から見た図である。図8は、図7におけるX-X線断面図である。図9は、有機EL素子の積層構造である。これらの図において、20はガラス基板、21(21a~21c)は下層電極(陽極)、22は有機層、23aは正孔注入層、23bは正孔輸送層、24(24a~24c)は発光層、25は電子輸送層、26は上層電極(陰極)、27はスペーサーである。図7は、2つの画素部分を表しており、1つの画素は、Bサブピクセル28a、Gサブピクセル28b、Rサブピクセル28c、の3つのサブピクセル28に区画されている。
本実施形態の正孔注入層23aは、エレクトロスプレー法を用いて形成されている(成膜工程)。まず、テトラヒドロフラン(THF)とキシレンの混合溶媒に、正孔注入層を構成するための材料(正孔注入層材ともいう)を溶解して塗液を作成した。なお、正孔注入層材には低分子系の材料を用いた。なお、ここでいう低分子の材料とは、蛍光性を有する分子と1~8個の単位分子とが連なった、金属錯体蛍光物質や燐光性化合物、蛍光性化合物などのオリゴマーを意味する。
各発光層24も、正孔注入層23aと同様にエレクトロスプレー法を用いてパターンニングされている(成膜工程)。但し、正孔注入層23aの場合とでは、塗液が異なる。すなわち、発光層24を構成する発光材料は、ホスト材料と、各色ごとに混合されるゲスト材料(発光色素:ここでは、Ir錯体)と、の混合材料からなる。ホスト材料に対するゲスト材料の混合比は重量比で5%である。これら材料をそれぞれNMPとTHFの混合溶媒に溶解して塗液を作成した。
本実施形態で形成された微粒子結合膜(正孔注入層23a及び発光層24)の各膜の構造について詳細に調べるため、AFM像の観察を行った。その結果、いずれの膜も1~5nm程度のナノ微粒子によって構成されていることが確認された。また、これらナノ微粒子は隣接するナノ微粒子どうしが一体に結合しており、膜表面に沿って隙間なく連続的に繋がっていた。ナノ微粒子は膜の厚み方向にも連続的に繋がっており、微粒子結合膜は緻密な構造となっていた。
本実施形態のディスプレイに関し、色純度と素子特性について比較評価した。
従来のディスプレイの色純度が、R(0.67,0.33)、G(0.30,0.63)、B(0.15,0.18)で、白色表示の際のNTSC比62%であったのに対し、本実施形態のディスプレイの色純度は、R(0.68,0.33)、G(0.18,0.74)、B(0.13,0.07)で、白色表示の際のNTSC比101%であった。
また、真空蒸着法により同様の構造のディスプレイを作製し(比較例)、本実施形態のディスプレイ(実施例)と素子特性(電流効率とIV特性)を比較した。
本変形例では、Bサブピクセル28aにおける電子輸送層25の材料を他のサブピクセル28b,28cのものと異なる材料にした点で上記実施形態と異なっている。
上記実施形態では、膜厚が異なる複数の正孔注入層23aをパターンニングするために、各正孔注入層23aを連続的に形成するように制御したが、それに限らず、必要に応じてパターンニングの設定を変更することができる。
上記実施形態では、微粒子結合膜の材料として低分子有機材料を用いたが、高分子系の有機材料(高分子化合物)を用いても同じように成膜することができる。
本実施形態の有機EL素子は、全面に成膜されている点で、パターンニングされている第1実施形態とは異なっている。本実施形態の有機EL素子が組み込まれた発光素子50は、主に液晶のバックライトや白色光源(照明)として用いることができる。
図15、図16に、本実施形態の発光素子50を示す。この発光素子50は、ボトムエミッション構造を有し、略全面に設けられた発光領域から白色が発光する。もちろん白色以外を発光してもよいし、トップエミッション構造であってもよい。
60mm×60mm寸法の矩形PETフィルム(基板51)の表面にITO(酸化インジウム-酸化錫)からなる陽極52を150nmの膜厚で形成した。陽極52は50mm×55mm寸法となるようにフォトリソプロセスでパターンニングした。陽極52を形成した基板51は、例えば、アセトンやIPAを用いて超音波洗浄を10分間行った後、UVオゾン洗浄を30分間行った。
完成した発光素子50に対し、10Vの電圧を印加すると、7000cd/m2の白色発光が得られた。
