図1(a)に示したEL素子10は、支持体11と、支持体11側を下側とした場合に支持体11上に形成され正孔を注入するための第1の電極層としての陽極層12と、陽極層12に対向して配され電子を注入するための第2の電極層としての陰極層14と、陽極層12と陰極層14に挟まれた空間に形成され、電圧を印加することで発光する発光材料を含む発光層17とが積層した構造を採る。また発光層17には、予め定められた分布で配される絶縁性のピラー13が、発光層17を貫通する形で形成されている。つまり発光層17は、陽極層12と陰極層14の間のピラー13が形成される箇所以外の箇所に形成されている。
支持体11の厚さは、要求される機械的強度にもよるが、好ましくは、0.1mm~10mm、より好ましくは0.25mm~2mmである。
図7(a)~(b)に示したEL素子50は、図1(a)~(b)に示したEL素子10に比較して、ピラー13を設けなかったことが異なる。即ち、支持体11と、支持体11上に形成される陽極層12、発光層17、陰極層14の3つの層からなる。なお説明の便宜上、図7(b)において陽極層12の凹凸を強調して図示している。
本実施の形態のEL素子10を適用すれば、Rmaxが200nm以下では、この短絡等が顕著にならない。なお、Rmaxの算出は、AFMあるいは触針平滑度計で陽極層12表面を測定することで求めることができる。また、ピラー13を形成した後においては、支持体11を破断し、その断面をSEMで観察し、これにより陽極層12表面の形状を得ることができるので、これからRmaxを算出することが可能である。
(1)陽極層12の表面上の任意の位置を中心とする直径10μmの円形領域内に、ピラー13の少なくとも一部が含まれるように、ピラー13を形成する。
またこの円形領域の直径は、3μmであることがより好ましく、1μmであることが更に好ましい。
また、ピラー13は必ずしも発光に関与しないために、これが陽極層12の表面に占める面積(“ピラー面積“)が大きいと発光層17が占める面積(“発光層面積“)の割合が小さくなる。他方、この面積が小さすぎると、ピラー13の十分な機械的強度が得られないために、特別な素子作製工程が必要となる。具体的には、全体(つまり、発光層17の占める面積及びピラー13の占める面積の合計)に対するピラー13の占める面積は、3%~80%が好ましく、6%~70%がより好ましく、10%~60%が最も好ましい。
(2)陽極層12の表面上の任意の位置を中心とする直径20μmの円形領域内に、発光層17の少なくとも一部が含まれるように形成する。
またこの円形領域の直径は、6μmであることがより好ましく、2μmであることが更に好ましい。
図2(a)~(b)は、図1のII方向からEL素子10を見た図であり、ピラー13の分布の種々の形態について説明した図である。なお説明の便宜上、図2(a)~(b)では、陰極層14を取り除いた状態について図示している。
なお図2(a)~(b)では、ピラー13は、図1(a)のII方向から見た場合に円形状となる場合について説明を行なったが、これに限られるものではなく、形状については、特に制限はない。例えば、図1(a)のII方向から見た場合に、ピラー13が、楕円形状、四角形状、三角形状、不定形状になる等、種々の形状を採ることができる。
電子輸送層に用いることができる材料としては、キノリン誘導体、オキサジアゾール誘導体、ペリレン誘導体、ピリジン誘導体、ピリミジン誘導体、キノキサリン誘導体、ジフェニルキノン誘導体、ニトロ置換フルオレン誘導体などが挙げられる。
電子輸送層を形成する手法としては、一般的に用いられる真空蒸着装置を用いた抵抗加熱方式により、真空下の蒸着方法を用いることができる。
ここで有機材料を発光材料として用いる場合は、低分子化合物及び高分子化合物のいずれをも使用することができる。例えば、大森裕:応用物理、第70巻、第12号、1419-1425頁(2001年)に記載されている発光性低分子化合物及び発光性高分子化合物などを例示することができる。
このような材料を用いることにより、本実施の形態におけるEL素子10の構造では、発光層17がピラー13間に均一にかつ膜厚が均等に成膜されること、即ちカバレッジ性が向上することにより発光層17がピラー13間で安定に発光し、出射する光の輝度の均一性が高まる。また、ピラー13の形成後にUV-オゾン処理や酸素プラズマ処理等を行うことによっても、塗布表面の濡れ性が高まる結果、カバレッジ性を向上させることができる。
塗布法においては塗布性を向上させる目的で、主に重量平均分子量で1,000~2,000,000である材料が好適に用いられる。また、塗布性を向上させるためレベリング剤、脱泡剤などの塗布性向上添加剤を添加したり、電荷トラップ能力の少ないバインダー樹脂を添加することもできる。
また塗布法において使用する塗布溶液の粘度は、10cps(センチポアズ)以下であることが好ましく、8cpsであることがより好ましく、5cpsであることが更に好ましい。この範囲の粘度を有する塗布溶液であれば、液流動性が高いため、選択的にピラー13間に流れやすくなり成膜されやすい。10cpsを超える粘度を有する塗布溶液の場合は、流動性低下によりピラー13間以外にも発光材料が成膜されやすくなるので、注意を要する。
ここで、塗布性に優れた材料の中でも、EL素子10の製造のプロセスが簡素化されるという点で発光性高分子化合物が好ましく、発光効率が高い点で燐光発光性化合物が好ましい。従って、特に燐光発光性高分子化合物が好ましい。なお、複数の材料同士を混合、あるいは塗布性を損なわない範囲で低分子発光材料(例えば、分子量1000以下)を添加することも可能である。この際の低分子発光材料の添加量は30wt%以下が好ましい。
また、発光性高分子化合物は、共役発光性高分子化合物と非共役発光性高分子化合物とに分類することもできるが、中でも非共役発光性高分子化合物が好ましい。
上記の理由から、本実施の形態で用いられる発光材料としては、燐光発光性非共役高分子化合物(燐光発光性高分子であり、かつ非共役発光性高分子化合物でもある発光材料)が特に好ましい。
次に、本実施の形態が適用されるEL素子の製造方法について、図1で説明を行ったEL素子10の場合を例に取り説明を行う。
図3(a)~(f)は、本実施の形態が適用されるEL素子10の製造方法について説明した図である。
まず支持体11上に、第1の電極層である陽極層12、およびピラー13を順に積層して形成する(図3(a):積層工程)。本実施の形態では、支持体11として、ガラス支持体を使用した。また陽極層12を形成する材料としてITOを使用し、またピラー13を形成する材料として二酸化ケイ素(SiO2)を使用した。
これらの層を支持体11上に形成するには、抵抗加熱蒸着法、電子ビーム蒸着法、スパッタリング法、イオンプレーティング法、CVD法などを用いることができる。また、塗布成膜方法、即ち、目的とする材料を溶剤に溶解させた状態で支持体11に塗布し乾燥する方法が可能な場合は、スピンコーティング法、ディップコーティング法、インクジェット法、印刷法、スプレー法、ディスペンサー法などの方法を用いて成膜することも可能である。
なお支持体11に陽極層12としてITOが既に形成されているいわゆる電極付き基板を用いることで、陽極層12を形成する工程を省略することができる。
次に、以上詳述したEL素子を備える表示装置について説明を行う。
図4は、本実施の形態におけるEL素子を用いた表示装置の一例を説明した図である。
図4に示した表示装置200は、いわゆるパッシブマトリクス型の表示装置であり、表示装置支持体202、陽極配線204、陽極補助配線206、陰極配線208、絶縁膜210、陰極隔壁212、EL素子214、封止プレート216、シール材218とを備えている。
このような表示装置200は、各画素が独立して、点滅することで画像や絵文字を表示するが、本実施の形態のEL素子を用いない場合、各画素が短絡等により点灯しなくなりやすく、表示装置としての機能が損なわれる。このために、短絡等を抑制することができる本実施の形態のEL素子は有用である。
次に、EL素子10を用いた照明装置について説明を行う。
図5は、本実施の形態におけるEL素子を備える照明装置の一例を説明した図である。
図5に示した照明装置300は、上述したEL素子10と、EL素子10の支持体11(図1参照)に隣接して設置され陽極層12(図1参照)に接続される端子302と、支持体11(図1参照)に隣接して設置されEL素子10の陰極層14(図1参照)に接続される端子303と、端子302と端子303とに接続しEL素子10を駆動するための点灯回路301とから構成される。
このような照明装置300は、面積の大きな単一な素子を点灯させることにより明かりを提供するが、本実施の形態のEL素子を用いない場合、発光面の一箇所が短絡等により点灯しなくなることにより、表示装置300全体が点灯しなくなり、機能が損なわれる。このために、短絡等を抑制することができる本実施の形態のEL素子は有用である。
(短絡等の評価)
EL素子に、逆バイアスで電圧を印加(即ち、陰極層14側にプラス、陽極層12側にマイナスの電圧を印加する)し、そのときの電流値を測定する方法で短絡等の評価を行なった。つまり逆バイアスの状態では、通常はEL素子には電流は流れないが、短絡等がある場合は、電流が流れる。そしてその電流値が大きいほど、より多くの短絡等が生じていることになる。本実施の形態では、発光面積が10mm×10mmの面積を有するEL素子に、15Vの電圧を逆バイアスで印加し、その場合の電流値(短絡電流)を測定した。
EL素子に、電流を流して発光させ、経時的に輝度を測定する。そして輝度が点灯初期の半分に到達したときの時間、または不点灯となったときの時間のどちらか短い方の時間をEL素子の寿命とし、これにより耐久性を評価した。本実施の形態では10mm×10mmの発光面を有するEL素子に10mAの電流を流すことで評価を行なった。
EL素子をクロロホルム中に浸漬し、24時間放置することで、支持体11、陽極層12、ピラー13からなる試料を得た(即ち、発光層17、陰極層14は除去された)。この試料の表面をAFM(キーエンス製、VN8010)を用いて、一辺100μmの正方形で囲まれる部分のコンピューター画像を得た。そしてこの画像に対して、乱数表を用いて、任意のX、Y座標を抽出し、ここに本来あるべきピラー13間距離(このEL素子の仕様上のピラー13間距離)を直径(S)とする円を描画し、この円内のピラー13の存在の有無を確認した(存在する場合は1、しない場合は0とカウント)。また、同じ点を中心とする直径2Sμmの円を描画し、発光層17の有無を確認した。それぞれ、300点の測定を行った結果のカウント数A(仕様上は600)を算出し、A/600をピラー形状正常度とした。
[燐光発光性高分子化合物の作製]
下記の式E-2で表される化合物(重合性置換基を有するイリジウム錯体)、式E-54で表される化合物(正孔輸送性化合物)、および式E-66で表される化合物(電子輸送性化合物)をE-2:E-54:E-66=1:4:5(質量比)の割合で脱水トルエンに溶解させ、更に重合開始剤として、V-601(和光純薬工業株式会社製)を溶解させた。そして、凍結脱気操作を行った後に真空密閉し、70℃で100時間攪拌して重合反応を行なった。反応後、反応液をアセトン中に滴下して沈殿を生じさせ、更に、この脱水トルエン-アセトンでの再沈殿精製を3回繰り返して燐光発光性高分子化合物を精製した。ここで、脱水トルエンおよびアセトンとしては、和光純薬工業株式会社製の高純度グレードのものを更に蒸留したものを用いた。
3回目の再沈殿精製後の溶剤を高速液体クロマトグラフィーで分析したところ、溶剤中に400nm以上での吸収を有する物質が検出されないことを確認した。即ち、このことは溶剤中に、不純物がほとんど含まれないということであり、燐光発光性高分子化合物を十分に精製できていることを意味する。そして、精製された燐光発光性高分子化合物を、室温で2日間かけて真空乾燥させた。その結果得られた燐光発光性高分子化合物(ELP)は、純度が99.9%を超えることを高速液体クロマトグラフィー(検出波長254nm)により確認した。
このように作製した発光性高分子化合物(重量平均分子量=52000)3重量部を97重量部のトルエンに溶解させ、発光材料溶液(以下、「溶液A」ともいう。)を調製した。
EL素子として、図1および図2(a)で示したEL素子10を、図3で説明した方法で作製した。
具体的には、まず支持体11として、表面研磨を行った厚さ0.7mmのソーダガラス板(Rmax=3nm(基準長さLは50μm)、25mm角)を用いた。そしてこのソーダガラス板上に、スパッタ装置(キヤノンアネルバ株式会社製E-401s)により、陽極層12として表面に膜厚50nmのITO(Indium Tin Oxide)膜を形成した。このITO膜表面のRmaxを測定したところ、50nmであった。更にこのITO膜上に、スパッタ装置(キヤノンアネルバ株式会社製E-401s)を用いて、二酸化ケイ素(SiO2)層を100nm成膜した。
以上のドライエッチング処理により、ピラー13間に形成される間隙部が形成された。そして間隙部を形成することで、ピラー13は、半径0.5μm、深さ100nmの円柱形状となった。また各ピラー13間の距離(ピラー間距離)は0.5μmであった(つまり、ピラー13の中心位置は互いに1μm隔てた)。
次に、溶液Aをスピンコート法(回転数:3000rpm)により塗布し、次いで窒素雰囲気下、120℃で1時間放置して、発光層17を形成した。
ピラー間距離を表1に示すように変更したこと以外は、実施例A-1と同様にしてEL素子10を作製した。
図7に示すEL素子50を作製した。ここでEL素子50は、支持体11上に陽極層12、発光層17、および陰極層14を順に積層することで製造することができる。またこのとき発光層17および陰極層14の材料や厚さは、実施例A-1と同様とした。
ピラー13の高さを表1に示すように変更したこと以外は、実施例A-1と同様にしてEL素子10を作製した。
ピラー13を直径1μmとし、ピラー間距離を表2に示すように変化させることで、ピラー13の占有面積率を変化させたEL素子10を作製した。ピラー13の占有面積率は、ピラー13の加工に用いたフォトマスクのパターンより算出した。なおその他は、実施例A-1と同様とした。
一方、ピラー占有面積率が5%未満および80%より大きいと短絡等の評価と耐久性の評価が共に悪くなる傾向にある。
実施例A-2の方法で作製したEL素子10を30枚作製し、それぞれについて、ピラー形状正常度を測定し、この中から、最も数値の高いものと、平均なもの、最も数値が低いものを取り出した。それぞれ、100%(実施例C-1)と97%(実施例C-2)、95%(実施例C-3)であった。
陽極層12の表面粗さ(Rmax)(基準長さLは50μm)が、表4に示すようなものを用意し、実施例A-1の方法でEL素子10と比較例A-2の方法でEL素子50をそれぞれ作製した。そして上述した方法で短絡等の評価を行なった。
ここで実施例A-1に対し、ITO(Indium Tin Oxide)膜の厚さは、30nm~150nmの範囲に変更した。そしてこれと併せて、スパッタガスであるアルゴン(Ar)の圧力、および流量、スパッタ電圧、ITOターゲットと支持体11との距離、温度を調整することで、種々の表面粗さ(Rmax)を有するITO膜が作製できる。
また図6は、表面粗さ(Rmax)と短絡等の関係を示した図である。
図6に示すように比較例A-2のEL素子50では、表面粗さ(Rmax)が大きくなるに従い、短絡等が顕著に増大する。一方、実施例A-1のEL素子10では、あまり増大しない。このことから本実施の形態のEL素子10の構造を採ることで、短絡等を効果的に抑制できることがわかる。
ただし、陽極層12の表面粗さ(Rmax)が10nm未満では、比較例A-2のEL素子50においても短絡等が小さく、実施例A-1のEL素子10による短絡等の効果は比較的小さい。このことから陽極層12の表面粗さ(Rmax)が10nm以上で、短絡等の抑制を行ないたい場合に、本実施の形態のEL素子10の構造は、より効果的であることがわかる。
