ホスト材料の膜状態でのT1が燐光発光材料のT1より小さいと発光を消光してしまうためホスト材料には燐光発光材料より大きなT1が求められる。また、ホスト材料のT1が燐光発光材料より大きい場合でも、両者のT1差が小さい場合には一部、燐光発光材料からホスト材料への逆エネルギー移動が起こるため、効率低下や耐久性低下の原因となる。従って、T1が十分に大きく、化学的安定性及びキャリア注入・輸送性の高いホスト材料が求められている。

この上に、フッ化リチウム0.1nm及び金属アルミニウム100nmをこの順に蒸着し陰極とした。
得られた積層体を、大気に触れさせることなく、窒素ガスで置換したグローブボックス内に入れ、ガラス製の封止缶及び紫外線硬化型の接着剤(XNR5516HV、長瀬チバ(株)製)を用いて封止し、素子1-1~1-7、比較素子1-1~1-5を得た。発光部分は2mm×2mmの正方形である。これらの素子を以下の方法で効率、駆動電圧、耐久性、高温保管後の効率の観点で評価した結果を表1に示す。
各素子を105℃の恒温槽中で100時間保管後、東陽テクニカ製ソースメジャーユニット2400を用いて、直流電圧を各素子に印加し発光させ、その輝度をトプコン社製輝度計BM-8を用いて測定した。これらを元に輝度が1000cd/m2付近の外部量子効率(η)を輝度換算法により算出した。表1においては比較素子1-1の値を、表2においては比較素子2-1の値を、表3においては比較素子3-1の値を、表4においては比較素子4-1の値を、表5においては比較素子5-1の値を、表6においては比較素子6-1の値をそれぞれ1.0として、各表において相対値で示した。効率は数字が大きいほど好ましい。
各素子を105℃の恒温槽中で100時間保管後、輝度が5000cd/m2になるように直流電圧を印加して発光させ続け、輝度が4000cd/m2になるまでに要した時間を耐久性の指標とした。表1においては比較素子1-1の値を、表2においては比較素子2-1の値を、表3においては比較素子3-1の値を、表4においては比較素子4-1の値を、表5においては比較素子5-1の値を、表6においては比較素子6-1の値をそれぞれ1.0として、各表において相対値で示した。耐久性は数字が大きいほど好ましい。
同一条件で10個の素子を作製し、顕微鏡下で各素子を4000cd/m2の輝度で発光させながら発光表面を観察したとき、6個以上の素子でダークスポットの存在が確認された場合は××、2~5個の素子でダークスポットの存在が確認された場合は×、ダークスポットの存在が確認されたものが1個以下の場合は○と記載した。
