Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an organic electroluminescence element.
  • Organic electroluminescence (EL) elements include a fluorescent type and a phosphorescent type, and an optimum element design has been studied according to each light emission mechanism. With respect to phosphorescent organic EL elements, it is known from their light emission characteristics that high-performance elements cannot be obtained by simple diversion of fluorescent element technology. The reason is generally considered as follows. Since phosphorescent light emission is light emission using triplet excitons, the energy gap of the compound used for the light emitting layer needs to be large. This is because the value of the energy gap (hereinafter also referred to as singlet energy) of a compound usually refers to the triplet energy of the compound (in the present invention, the energy difference between the lowest excited triplet state and the ground state). This is because it is larger than the value of).
  • a host material having a triplet energy larger than the triplet energy of the phosphorescent dopant material must first be used for the light emitting layer.
  • Patent Documents 1 to 3 material enhancement and element design different from those of fluorescent organic EL elements are required for enhancing the performance of phosphorescent organic EL elements. Material research has been conducted intensively and several reports have been made (Patent Documents 1 to 3).
  • Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 benzimidazole compounds are exemplified and used as an electron transport layer material.
  • the triplet energy of the host material of the combined light emitting layer is small and the efficiency is low.
  • the host material to be combined has a structure that does not include a dibenzofuran ring or a dibenzothiophene ring, the charge injecting / transporting property is low and the voltage tends to be high.
  • Patent Document 3 exemplifies benzimidazole compounds and is used as an electron transport layer material, but their triplet energy is small, and the energy of the light emitting layer leaks to the electron transport layer side, so the efficiency is low.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an organic EL element having a low voltage and a long lifetime.
  • the inventors of the present invention have used a benzimidazole compound having a specific structure excellent in electron injecting and transporting properties for a layer adjacent to the light emitting layer, and a combination using a compound having a specific structure for the light emitting layer. It was found that leakage of the term energy to the electron transport layer side can be suppressed, and an organic EL element having low voltage, high efficiency, and long life can be obtained.
