If the layer is not formed flat and irregularities are formed on the surface thereof, the layer formed thereon may crack. In the example shown in the figure, cracks 11 a and 11 b are generated in a part of the sealing layer 8 located above the foreign material 10.
- FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a portion surrounded by a broken line A in FIG.
- water or gas or the like enters from the cracks 11a and 11b.
- the infiltrated water or gas passes through the cathode 7 to reach the electron transport layer 6 and reacts with the n-type dopant 6 b doped in the electron transport layer 6.
- the doping concentration of the n-type dopant 6 b in the electron transport layer 6 gradually decreases toward the position closest to the cracks 11 a and 11 b in the electron transport layer 6.
- the n-type dopant 6b reacted with water or gas loses electron donating properties. For this reason, the electron transfer complex formed between the electron transport material 6a-n type dopant 6b is decomposed, and the electron mobility of the electron transport layer 6 is lowered.
- the “concentration of n-type dopant” refers to the concentration of n-type dopant existing as an electron transfer complex, and does not include the concentration of n-type dopant reacted with water or gas.

In the vicinity immediately below the cracks 11a and 11b, the amount of water or gas that permeates is large, so the doping concentration of the n-type dopant 6b is 0 [wt%] or very small.

- the n-type dopant 6b is doped in the electron transport layer 6 at a concentration higher than the doping concentration at which the light emission efficiency of the organic light emitting layer 5 is maximized. For this reason, even if the water or gas that has entered through the cracks 11a and 11b reacts with the n-type dopant 6b to reduce the doping concentration, the luminous efficiency of the organic light emitting layer 5 is improved if the amount of the reduction is small.
- the doping concentration of the n-type dopant 6b is reduced and the light emitting efficiency of the organic light emitting layer 5 is improved, thereby improving the light emission luminance.

Therefore, conventionally, an n-type dopant has been doped in the electron transport layer at a doping concentration that is lower than the doping concentration that maximizes the luminous efficiency of the organic light emitting layer or that maximizes the luminous efficiency of the organic light emitting layer.
- Ba is doped in the electron transport layer at a concentration of about 10 [wt%].
- X21 indicates the position where the doping concentration of Ba begins to decrease.
- the doping concentration is about 10 [wt%]
- the light emission efficiency of the organic light emitting layer 5 at that position is about 1.5 [cd / A].
- a region on the left side of the position of X21 is a normal light emitting region D1.

- X22 indicates a position where the doping concentration of Ba is lowered and the concentration becomes 0 [wt%].
- X25 indicates a position where the light emitting efficiency of the organic light emitting layer is 0 [cd / A].

- the region between X24 and X26 is the luminance reduction region B4
- the region between X25 and X26 is the non-light emitting region B3.

It is longer than the length to the position X26 where the luminous efficiency of the organic light emitting layer is 0 [cd / A]. Therefore, the non-light-emitting region B2 in the organic EL element 1 is smaller than the non-light-emitting region B5 in the conventional organic EL element.
- the luminous efficiency of the normal light emitting region D of the organic EL element 1 is lower than the luminous efficiency of the normal light emitting region D1 of the conventional organic EL element.

- the organic EL element 1 since the organic EL element 1 has a smaller non-light-emitting area and a lower brightness area than the conventional organic EL element, the size of the defective light-emitting area including the non-light-emitting area and the lower brightness area is also higher than that of the conventional organic EL element. It is smaller than the organic EL element. (3) Apparent size of defective light emitting region The bright light emitting region C of the organic EL element 1 is adjacent to the defective light emitting region B.

Abstract
Description
本開示の一態様である有機EL素子は、陽極と、陰極と、前記陽極と前記陰極との間に設けられた有機発光層と、前記陰極と前記有機発光層との間に設けられた電子輸送層とを有する有機EL素子であって、前記電子輸送層は、電子供与性物質を含むn型ドーパントがドープされてなり、そのドープ濃度は、前記有機発光層の発光効率が最大となるドープ濃度よりも高い。
以下では、本開示の実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。
図1は、実施の形態1にかかる有機EL素子の構成を示す断面図である。有機EL素子1は、所謂トップエミッション型の有機EL素子であって、基板2、陽極3、正孔注入層4、有機発光層5、電子輸送層6、陰極7、封止層8を備える。
基板2は、無アルカリガラスからなり、有機EL素子の基材としての役割を果たす。基板2の表面には有機EL素子を駆動するためのTFT(薄膜トランジスタ)層(不図示)が形成されており、その上に、陽極3、有機機能層(正孔注入層4、有機発光層5、電子輸送層6)、陰極7が順次積層され、有機EL素子1が製造される。
陽極3は、正孔を正孔注入層4に注入する機能を有する。陽極3の材料にはAl(アルミニウム)が用いられ、スパッタリング法により基板2の上に約400[nm]の厚みで形成されている。
正孔注入層4は、陽極3から有機発光層5への正孔の注入および輸送を促進させる機能を有する。正孔注入層4の材料には、WOX(酸化タングステン)が用いられ、スパッタリング法により陽極3の上に約14[nm]の厚みで形成されている。
有機発光層5は、キャリア(正孔と電子)の再結合による発光を行う部位である。有機発光層5の材料には、有機発光ポリマーが用いられ、インクジェット法により正孔注入層4の上に約80[nm]の厚みで形成されている。
電子輸送層6は、電子輸送性材料6aおよび電子供与性物質を含むn型ドーパント6bからなり、陰極7から注入された電子を有機発光層5に輸送する機能を有する。本実施の形態では、電子輸送性材料6aには電子輸送性を有する有機モノマーを用い、n型ドーパント6bにはBa(バリウム)を用い、真空蒸着法により有機発光層5の上に約35[nm]の厚みで形成されている。電子輸送性材料6aにn型ドーパント6bをドープすることで、電子輸送性材料6a‐n型ドーパント6b間で電子移動が起こり、電子移動錯体(CT錯体)が形成される。これにより、電子輸送層6の電子移動度が向上するため、陰極7から注入された電子を効率的に有機発光層5に輸送することができる。
陰極7は、電子を電子輸送層6に注入する機能を有する。陰極7の材料には、ITO(酸化インジウムスズ)が用いられ、スパッタリング法により電子輸送層6の上に約35[nm]の厚みで形成されている。
封止層8は、有機機能層(正孔注入層4、有機発光層5、電子輸送層6)を封止し、外部に存在する水分または酸素等から、有機機能層を保護する機能を有する。封止層8の材料には、SI3N4(窒化ケイ素)が用いられ、化学気相成長法(CVD:Chemical Vapor Deposition)により陰極7の上に約600[nm]の厚みで形成されている。
有機EL素子1は、(1)陽極3を形成する工程(陽極形成工程)、(2)正孔注入層4を形成する工程(正孔注入層形成工程)、(4)有機発光層5を形成する工程(有機発光層形成工程)、(5)電子輸送層6を形成する工程(電子輸送層形成工程)、(6)陰極7を形成する工程(陰極形成工程)、(7)封止層8を形成する工程(封止層形成工程)を経て製造される。各工程では、スパッタリング法、インクジェット法、真空蒸着法、化学気相成長法等の各種の成膜方法を用いて、各層が形成される。クリーンな雰囲気中で各層が形成されるものの、製造工程中に各層への異物混入をゼロにすることは困難である。製造工程中に異物が混入した場合、各層に亀裂等が生じる場合がある。
以下では、封止層に亀裂が生じた状態における、有機EL素子1と上記の従来の有機EL素子とを比較する。
(1)非発光領域の大きさ
有機EL素子1は、従来の有機ELと比較して、電子輸送層にドープするBa濃度が高いため、亀裂11aの位置X5から有機EL素子1において有機発光層の発光効率が0[cd/A]となる位置X11までの長さは、亀裂11aの位置X5から有機EL素子1において有機発光層の発光効率が0[cd/A]となる位置X25までの長さよりも長い。これと同様に、亀裂11bの位置X6から有機EL素子1において有機発光層の発光効率が0[cd/A]となる位置X12までの長さは、亀裂11aの位置X5から有機EL素子1において有機発光層の発光効率が0[cd/A]となる位置X26までの長さよりも長い。従って、有機EL素子1における非発光領域B2は、上記の従来の有機EL素子における非発光領域B5よりも小さい。
(2)輝度低下領域の大きさ
有機EL素子1の正常発光領域Dの発光効率は、従来の有機EL素子の正常発光領域D1よりも発光効率よりも低い。このため、有機EL素子1において発光効率が正常発光領域Dにおける発光効率と同程度になる位置X3から、有機発光層の発光効率が0[cd/A]となる位置X11までの長さは、従来の有機EL素子において発光効率が正常発光領域D1における発光効率と同程度になる位置X21から、有機発光層の発光効率が0[cd/A]となる位置X25までの長さより短い。従って、有機EL素子1における輝度低下領域B1は、上記の従来の有機EL素子における非発光領域B2よりも小さい。
(3)不良発光領域のみかけ上の大きさ
有機EL素子1の明発光領域Cは不良発光領域Bに隣接している。明発光領域Cの発光輝度が高く、不良発光領域Bの暗さを補間するため、不良発光領域Bの見かけ上の大きさは小さくなる。このため、不良発光領域Bがユーザに目立ちにくくなる。
本実施の形態にかかる有機EL素子の上記効果を確かめるため、以下の検証実験を行った。
上記の実施の形態では、Baを電子輸送層に、15[wt%]を越える濃度でドープする場合を示した。このBaのドープ濃度に関しては、Baを電子輸送層に、25[wt%]以上の濃度でドープすることがより好ましい。その理由を以下に示す。
一般に、除去が容易な異物の直径の大きさは、約20[μm]以上である。除去が難しい直径の大きさが約20[μm]未満の異物が混入したとしても、目視可能な不良発光領域が発生しないためには、図9および上記数式から、Baのドープ濃度が約25[wt%]以上であればよいことが分かる。
本開示は、上記の実施の形態にかかる有機EL素子を備える有機EL表示パネル、およびその有機ELパネルを備える有機EL表示装置としても実施可能である。
なお、上記の実施の形態に基づいて説明してきたが、本開示は上記の実施の形態に限定されないことはもちろんである。以下のような場合も本開示に含まれる。
