- An organic electroluminescent element emits light inside a layer having a refractive index higher than that of air (with a refractive index of about 1.6 to 2.1), and about 15% to 20% of light generated in the light emitting layer. It is generally said that only light can be extracted. This is because light incident on the interface (interface between the transparent substrate and air) at an angle ⁇ greater than the critical angle causes total reflection and cannot be taken out of the element, or between the transparent electrode or light emitting layer and the transparent substrate. This is because the light undergoes total reflection between the light, the light is guided through the transparent electrode or the light emitting layer, and as a result, the light escapes in the side surface direction of the element.
- a technique for improving the light extraction efficiency for example, a method of forming irregularities on the surface of the transparent substrate to prevent total reflection at the transparent substrate and the air interface (for example, US Pat. No. 4,774,435), A method for improving efficiency by providing light condensing property (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-134795), a method for forming a reflective surface on the side surface of an element (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-220394), a substrate A method of forming an antireflection film by introducing a flat layer having an intermediate refractive index between the substrate and the light emitter (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.

- by combining these means it is possible to obtain an element having higher luminance or durability.
- the low refractive index layer include aerogel, porous silica, magnesium fluoride, and a fluorine-based polymer. Since the refractive index of the transparent substrate is generally in the range of about 1.5 to 1.7, the low refractive index layer preferably has a refractive index of about 1.5 or less. Further, it is preferably 1.35 or less.
- the thickness of the low refractive index medium is preferably at least twice the wavelength in the medium. This is because the effect of the low refractive index layer is diminished when the thickness of the low refractive index medium is about the wavelength of light and the electromagnetic wave exuded by evanescent enters the substrate.
- the method of introducing a diffraction grating into an interface that causes total reflection or in any medium has a feature that the effect of improving the light extraction efficiency is high. This method uses the property that the diffraction grating can change the direction of light to a specific direction different from refraction by so-called Bragg diffraction, such as first-order diffraction or second-order diffraction.
- the light that cannot be emitted due to total internal reflection between layers is diffracted by introducing a diffraction grating in any layer or medium (inside a transparent substrate or transparent electrode). , Trying to extract light out.
- the introduced diffraction grating desirably has a two-dimensional periodic refractive index. This is because light emitted from the light-emitting layer is randomly generated in all directions, so in a general one-dimensional diffraction grating having a periodic refractive index distribution only in a certain direction, only light traveling in a specific direction is diffracted. The light extraction efficiency does not increase so much. However, by making the refractive index distribution a two-dimensional distribution, light traveling in all directions is diffracted, and light extraction efficiency is increased.
- the position where the diffraction grating is introduced may be in any of the layers or in the medium (in the transparent substrate or the transparent electrode), but is preferably in the vicinity of the organic light emitting layer where light is generated.
- the period of the diffraction grating is preferably in the range of about 1/2 to 3 times the wavelength of light in the medium.

- a microlens array quadrangular pyramids having a side of 30 ⁇ m and an apex angle of 90 degrees are arranged two-dimensionally on the light extraction side of the substrate. One side is preferably within a range of 10 to 100 ⁇ m. If it is smaller than this, the effect of diffraction is generated and colored, and if it is too large, the thickness becomes thick, which is not preferable.

In the phosphorescent organic EL element, a material in a practical range is developed with both high luminous efficiency and luminous lifetime, and is used for display and illumination.
また、近年、熱活性化型遅延蛍光発光性化合物(TADF化合物)をドーパントとして用いた有機EL素子が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
In recent years, an organic EL device using a heat-activated delayed fluorescent compound (TADF compound) as a dopant has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1).
一般的にTADF化合物は、熱活性化による三重項状態から一重項状態への逆項間交差を引き起こすべく、分子内に電子供与性と電子吸引性の骨格を導入することでHOMOとLUMOが存在する位置を分離する必要があるため、ブロードな発光である電荷移動型の発光を示す。
このようなTADF化合物において青色発光を得るためには、励起状態と基底状態のエネルギー準位間に大きなギャップが必要であり、発光色を深青色に近づけるにつれてTADF化合物の最低励起一重項(S1)(以下、単に「一重項(S1)」ともいう。)エネルギー及び最低励起三重項(T1)(以下、単に「三重項(T1)」ともいう。)エネルギーを高くする必要が生じる。更に、ドーパントとして用いられるTADF化合物上に励起状態を局在化させ高い量子効率を得るために、ホスト化合物の三重項エネルギーがドーパントの三重項エネルギーよりも高い必要がある。その場合、ドーパント及びホスト化合物が高いエネルギーを有する不安定な状態に留まるため、分解等により消光物質を生成しやすい、つまり、消光物質の生成速度Kdが極めて速いことが、実用可能な素子寿命を得るための問題となっていた。 In general, TADF compounds have HOMO and LUMO by introducing an electron-donating and electron-withdrawing skeleton into the molecule to cause reverse intersystem crossing from the triplet state to the singlet state by thermal activation. Since it is necessary to separate the positions where the light is emitted, the charge transfer type light emission which is broad light emission is shown.
In order to obtain blue light emission in such TADF compounds, it requires a large gap between the energy levels of the excited state and the ground state, the lowest excited singlet of TADF compound as close an emission color to deep blue (S 1 ) (Hereinafter also simply referred to as “singlet (S 1 )”) Energy and lowest excited triplet (T 1 ) (hereinafter also simply referred to as “triplet (T 1 )”) energy needs to be increased. . Further, in order to localize the excited state on the TADF compound used as the dopant and obtain a high quantum efficiency, the triplet energy of the host compound needs to be higher than the triplet energy of the dopant. In that case, since the dopant and the host compound remain in an unstable state having high energy, it is easy to generate a quenching substance by decomposition or the like. It was a problem to get.
このようなTADF化合物において青色発光を得るためには、励起状態と基底状態のエネルギー準位間に大きなギャップが必要であり、発光色を深青色に近づけるにつれてTADF化合物の最低励起一重項(S1)(以下、単に「一重項(S1)」ともいう。)エネルギー及び最低励起三重項(T1)(以下、単に「三重項(T1)」ともいう。)エネルギーを高くする必要が生じる。更に、ドーパントとして用いられるTADF化合物上に励起状態を局在化させ高い量子効率を得るために、ホスト化合物の三重項エネルギーがドーパントの三重項エネルギーよりも高い必要がある。その場合、ドーパント及びホスト化合物が高いエネルギーを有する不安定な状態に留まるため、分解等により消光物質を生成しやすい、つまり、消光物質の生成速度Kdが極めて速いことが、実用可能な素子寿命を得るための問題となっていた。 In general, TADF compounds have HOMO and LUMO by introducing an electron-donating and electron-withdrawing skeleton into the molecule to cause reverse intersystem crossing from the triplet state to the singlet state by thermal activation.

Further, in order to localize the excited state on the TADF compound used as the dopant and obtain a high quantum efficiency, the triplet energy of the host compound needs to be higher than the triplet energy of the dopant. In that case, since the dopant and the host compound remain in an unstable state having high energy, it is easy to generate a quenching substance by decomposition or the like. It was a problem to get.
ドーパントの一重項(S1)及び三重項(T1)エネルギーを低く保ったまま、深青色発光を得るためには発光がシャープであるリン光発光性金属錯体を用いることで解決できるが、実用可能な素子寿命を得るためには次の課題を有している。すなわち、下記Stern-Volmer式で示されるように、素子駆動中に生成する消光物質濃度の増加に伴い、リン光発光性金属錯体の消光が生じる。高い三重項エネルギーを有するリン光発光材料においては、リン光の原理上リン光寿命τが数μs~数100μsと蛍光発光材料に比べて2~3オーダー長いこと、かつ、高い三重項エネルギーを有するためにドーパント発光と消光物質の吸収とに重なりが生じやすく、非特許文献1に示されているようにエネルギー移動速度Kqが指数関数的に増大し、消光が起きやすいという原理的な問題を有しているため、実用可能な素子寿命が得られていない。例えば下記Stern-Volmer式に基づき、非特許文献1に記載の値を用い消光物質としてのトリフルオレン(三重項エネルギー2.3eV)の濃度に対するリン光発光性金属錯体の発光減衰量を試算すると、2.70eVに近い高いエネルギーレベルの最低励起三重項(T1)(以下、単に「高T1」ともいう。)のドーパントでは顕著に発光が減衰してしまうことが分かる。
In order to obtain deep blue light emission while keeping the singlet (S 1 ) and triplet (T 1 ) energy of the dopant low, it can be solved by using a phosphorescent metal complex with sharp emission, but practical use In order to obtain a possible element lifetime, the following problems are encountered. That is, as shown by the following Stern-Volmer equation, quenching of the phosphorescent metal complex occurs with an increase in the concentration of the quenching substance generated during device driving. In the phosphorescent material having high triplet energy, the phosphorescence lifetime τ is several μs to several hundreds μs on the principle of phosphorescence, which is two to three orders longer than fluorescent materials, and has high triplet energy. For this reason, the dopant emission and the absorption of the quenching substance are likely to overlap with each other, and as shown in Non-Patent Document 1, the energy transfer rate Kq increases exponentially, and there is a principle problem that quenching easily occurs. Therefore, a practical device lifetime is not obtained. For example, based on the following Stern-Volmer equation, using the values described in Non-Patent Document 1, when calculating the emission attenuation amount of the phosphorescent metal complex with respect to the concentration of trifluorene (triplet energy 2.3 eV) as a quenching substance, It can be seen that the emission is significantly attenuated with the dopant of the lowest excited triplet (T 1 ) (hereinafter also simply referred to as “high T 1 ”) having a high energy level close to 2.70 eV.
上記式中、PL(with Quencher)は消光物質存在下における発光強度、PL(without Quencher)は消光物質非存在下における発光強度、Kqは発光材料から消光物質へのエネルギー移動速度、[Q](=Kd*t)は消光物質濃度、Kdは分解等による消光物質の生成速度、tは光又は電流による積算励起時間、τは消光物質が存在しない場合の発光材料のリン光寿命である。
In the above formula, PL (with Quencher) is the emission intensity in the presence of the quenching substance, PL (without Quencher) is the emission intensity in the absence of the quenching substance, Kq is the energy transfer rate from the emitting material to the quenching substance, [Q] ( = Kd * t) is the quencher concentration, Kd is the rate of generation of the quencher by decomposition, t is the cumulative excitation time by light or current, and τ is the phosphorescence lifetime of the luminescent material in the absence of the quencher.
以上のように、緑色及び赤色リン光発光性ドーパントを有する発光素子としては実用的なものが報告されている一方、高三重項エネルギーを有する青色リン光発光性ドーパントを有する発光素子においては実用的な寿命レベルが達成されていない。これは、青色リン光発光性ドーパントが上記のように高T1かつリン光を用いた発光材料であることにより、分解等による消光物質の生成速度Kd、発光材料から消光物質へのエネルギー移動速度Kq、リン光寿命τが不利な状況にあり、駆動による消光が極めて生じやすい原理的な問題が存在するためと考えられる。
As described above, practical light-emitting elements having green and red phosphorescent dopants have been reported, whereas practical light-emitting elements having blue phosphorescent dopants having high triplet energy. Lifetime levels are not achieved. This energy transfer rate of by blue phosphorescent dopant is a luminescent material using a high T 1 and phosphorescence as described above, the production rate Kd quencher by decomposition, to the quencher from the luminescent material This is probably because Kq and phosphorescence lifetime τ are disadvantageous and there is a principle problem that quenching due to driving is very likely to occur.

本発明によれば、ホスト化合物及びドーパントの励起状態での安定性に優れ、素子駆動寿命が向上した有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子を提供することができる。
本発明の効果の発現機構ないし作用機構については、以下のように推察している。
有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子を電流駆動した場合、ホールと電子とがリン光発光性金属錯体ドーパント上で直接再結合した励起子と、ホスト化合物上で再結合した励起子とが生成し、その内訳は、三重項状態の励起子が75%、一重項状態の励起子が25%となる。図1に示すように、TADF化合物でない(非TADF)従来用いられるホスト化合物上で再結合した一重項励起子はS1→S0遷移が許容であるために、フェルスター機構によって速やかにドーパント上にエネルギー移動するか、ホスト分子内で速やかに失活する。一方、ホスト化合物上で再結合した三重項励起子はT1→S0の遷移が禁制のため、フェルスター機構によるエネルギー移動速度が遅く、隣接分子間の電子交換に基づくデクスター機構で遅いエネルギー移動が主であること、また、ホスト化合物内での失活速度も数μs~数msと遅いことから、不安定な励起状態(三重項励起状態)に長時間留まることになる。特に、青色を呈する金属錯体ドーパントに対して用いられるホスト化合物の場合、高い励起エネルギーを有する励起状態に長時間留まることになる。結果、ホスト化合物の分解等により消光物質を生成する速度が増大すると推定される。
本発明者は、図2に示すように、三重項励起状態から一重項励起状態へ逆項間交差し、ドーパントへ効率的にエネルギー移動するTADF化合物をホスト化合物として用いてホスト化合物上に発生した三重項励起状態の滞在時間を短くし、三重項から一重項に逆項間交差した励起子を効果的にドーパントへエネルギー移動し、当該ホスト化合物上での三重項及び一重項励起状態の滞留を抑制することで、消光物質の生成速度Kdを低減し、有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子の寿命を大幅に向上できることを見いだした。したがって、本発明の有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子は、熱活性化型遅延蛍光発光性のホスト化合物と、リン光発光性金属錯体ドーパントを発光層に含有することを特徴としている。 ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the organic electroluminescent element which was excellent in stability in the excitation state of a host compound and a dopant, and whose element drive lifetime improved can be provided.
The expression mechanism or action mechanism of the effect of the present invention is presumed as follows.
When an organic electroluminescent device is driven by current, excitons in which holes and electrons are directly recombined on the phosphorescent metal complex dopant and excitons recombined on the host compound are generated, and the breakdown is as follows: The triplet state excitons are 75% and the singlet state excitons are 25%. As shown in FIG. 1, a singlet exciton recombined on a conventionally used host compound that is not a TADF compound (non-TADF) allows an S 1 → S 0 transition, so that the Forster mechanism can quickly Or rapidly deactivates in the host molecule. On the other hand, triplet excitons recombined on the host compound have a slow energy transfer rate due to the Forster mechanism due to the forbidden transition of T 1 → S 0 , and a slow energy transfer due to the Dexter mechanism based on electron exchange between adjacent molecules. In addition, since the deactivation rate in the host compound is as slow as several μs to several ms, it remains in an unstable excited state (triplet excited state) for a long time. In particular, in the case of a host compound used for a metal complex dopant exhibiting a blue color, the host compound stays in an excited state having high excitation energy for a long time. As a result, it is estimated that the rate at which the quenching substance is generated increases due to decomposition of the host compound and the like.
As shown in FIG. 2, the present inventor generated a host compound using a TADF compound that crosses back from the triplet excited state to the singlet excited state and efficiently transfers energy to the dopant as the host compound. The residence time in the triplet excited state is shortened, and excitons crossing back to back from the triplet to the singlet effectively transfer energy to the dopant, thereby retaining the triplet and singlet excited states on the host compound. It has been found that by suppressing it, the generation rate Kd of the quenching substance can be reduced, and the lifetime of the organic electroluminescence device can be significantly improved. Therefore, the organic electroluminescence device of the present invention is characterized in that the light-emitting layer contains a thermally activated delayed fluorescence host compound and a phosphorescent metal complex dopant.
本発明の効果の発現機構ないし作用機構については、以下のように推察している。
有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子を電流駆動した場合、ホールと電子とがリン光発光性金属錯体ドーパント上で直接再結合した励起子と、ホスト化合物上で再結合した励起子とが生成し、その内訳は、三重項状態の励起子が75%、一重項状態の励起子が25%となる。図1に示すように、TADF化合物でない(非TADF)従来用いられるホスト化合物上で再結合した一重項励起子はS1→S0遷移が許容であるために、フェルスター機構によって速やかにドーパント上にエネルギー移動するか、ホスト分子内で速やかに失活する。一方、ホスト化合物上で再結合した三重項励起子はT1→S0の遷移が禁制のため、フェルスター機構によるエネルギー移動速度が遅く、隣接分子間の電子交換に基づくデクスター機構で遅いエネルギー移動が主であること、また、ホスト化合物内での失活速度も数μs~数msと遅いことから、不安定な励起状態(三重項励起状態)に長時間留まることになる。特に、青色を呈する金属錯体ドーパントに対して用いられるホスト化合物の場合、高い励起エネルギーを有する励起状態に長時間留まることになる。結果、ホスト化合物の分解等により消光物質を生成する速度が増大すると推定される。
本発明者は、図2に示すように、三重項励起状態から一重項励起状態へ逆項間交差し、ドーパントへ効率的にエネルギー移動するTADF化合物をホスト化合物として用いてホスト化合物上に発生した三重項励起状態の滞在時間を短くし、三重項から一重項に逆項間交差した励起子を効果的にドーパントへエネルギー移動し、当該ホスト化合物上での三重項及び一重項励起状態の滞留を抑制することで、消光物質の生成速度Kdを低減し、有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子の寿命を大幅に向上できることを見いだした。したがって、本発明の有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子は、熱活性化型遅延蛍光発光性のホスト化合物と、リン光発光性金属錯体ドーパントを発光層に含有することを特徴としている。 ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the organic electroluminescent element which was excellent in stability in the excitation state of a host compound and a dopant, and whose element drive lifetime improved can be provided.

As shown in FIG. 1, a singlet exciton recombined on a conventionally used host compound that is not a TADF compound (non-TADF) allows an S 1 → S 0 transition, so that the Forster mechanism can quickly Or rapidly deactivates in the host molecule. On the other hand, triplet excitons recombined on the host compound have a slow energy transfer rate due to the Forster mechanism due to the forbidden transition of T 1 → S 0 , and a slow energy transfer due to the Dexter mechanism based on electron exchange between adjacent molecules. In addition, since the deactivation rate in the host compound is as slow as several μs to several ms, it remains in an unstable excited state (triplet excited state) for a long time.

[1-1]熱活性化型遅延蛍光発光性のホスト化合物
本発明に係る発光層に含有される熱活性化型遅延蛍光発光性のホスト化合物としては、熱活性化型遅延蛍光発光性化合物(TADF化合物)が用いられる。
TADF化合物は、一重項励起エネルギー準位と三重項励起エネルギー準位の差ΔEstが小さいために、通常では起こり得ない三重項励起状態から一重項励起状態への逆項間交差が起こる。更に、一重項励起状態から基底状態への失活(=蛍光発光)の速度定数が極めて大きいことから、三重項励起子はそれ自体が基底状態に熱的に失活(無輻射失活)するよりも、一重項励起状態経由で蛍光を発しながら基底状態に戻る方が速度論的に有利である。
逆項間交差により三重項励起状態でいる時間を短くすることで、分解等により消光物質を生成する速度を抑制することができる。
本発明に用いることができるTADFホスト化合物としては、一般的に知られているように、発光ドーパントの三重項エネルギーよりも高い三重項エネルギーを有し、発光ドーパントの発光を消光しない化合物であれば好適に用いることができる。 [1-1] Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescent Host Compound As the thermally activated delayed fluorescent luminescent host compound contained in the light emitting layer according to the present invention, a thermally activated delayed fluorescent luminescent compound ( TADF compounds) are used.
In the TADF compound, since the difference ΔEst between the singlet excitation energy level and the triplet excitation energy level is small, a reverse intersystem crossing from the triplet excited state to the singlet excited state, which cannot normally occur, occurs. Furthermore, since the rate constant of deactivation from the singlet excited state to the ground state (= fluorescence emission) is extremely large, triplet excitons themselves are thermally deactivated to the ground state (non-radiative deactivation). It is more kinetically advantageous to return to the ground state while emitting fluorescence via the singlet excited state.
By shortening the time in the triplet excited state due to reverse intersystem crossing, the rate at which a quenching substance is generated by decomposition or the like can be suppressed.
The TADF host compound that can be used in the present invention is a compound that has a triplet energy higher than the triplet energy of the light-emitting dopant and does not quench the light emission of the light-emitting dopant, as is generally known. It can be used suitably.

一般に分子の電子軌道において、HOMOは電子供与性部位に、LUMOは電子吸引性部位に分布することが知られており、分子内に電子供与性と電子吸引性の骨格を導入することによって、HOMOとLUMOが存在する位置を遠ざけることが可能である。
ここで、電子供与性部位及び電子吸引性部位の「部位」とは、置換基又は原子群のことを指す。 In general, it is known that HOMO is distributed in electron donating sites and LUMO is distributed in electron withdrawing sites in the electron orbit of the molecule.

本発明に係るTADFホスト化合物として用いられる好ましいTADF化合物を以下に例示するが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。
Preferred examples of the TADF compound used as the TADF host compound according to the present invention are exemplified below, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[1-2]最低励起一重項エネルギー(S1)
TADFホスト化合物の一重項励起状態のエネルギーは高エネルギーであるほど蛍光発光が短波長になり、リン光発光性金属錯体ドーパントの吸収スペクトルとの間に重なりを生じやすくなることで、一重項励起状態からリン光発光性金属錯体ドーパントに効率的にエネルギー移動しやすくなるため、一重項励起状態のエネルギーの上限はないといえる。しかし実際には、一重項励起状態のエネルギーが高くなると、TADFホスト化合物が有する最小の結合開裂エネルギーよりも一重項励起状態のエネルギーが大きくなるために、励起状態において開裂が生じ、反応によって低い準位を有する消光物質を生じやすくなる。基底状態での結合開裂エネルギー(Bond Dissociation Energy)はJ.Am.Chem.C,2014,118,pp7569-7578に記載の方法で計算することができる。本発明における結合開裂エネルギーとは、化合物の各々の結合に対して、当該文献の方法で計算を行った結果得られる最小のエネルギーのことをいう。 [1-2] Lowest excited singlet energy (S 1 )
The higher the energy of the singlet excited state of the TADF host compound, the shorter the fluorescence emission, and the easier it is to form an overlap with the absorption spectrum of the phosphorescent metal complex dopant. Therefore, it can be said that there is no upper limit of the energy of the singlet excited state because it is easy to efficiently transfer energy to the phosphorescent metal complex dopant. However, in reality, when the energy of the singlet excited state is increased, the energy of the singlet excited state is larger than the minimum bond cleavage energy of the TADF host compound, so that cleavage occurs in the excited state, and the reaction causes a lower quasi- It becomes easy to produce a quenching substance having a position. Bond Dissociation Energy in the ground state is described in J. Org. Am. Chem. C, 2014, 118, pp 7569-7578. The bond cleavage energy in the present invention refers to the minimum energy obtained as a result of calculation by the method of the literature for each bond of a compound.

The bond cleavage energy in the present invention refers to the minimum energy obtained as a result of calculation by the method of the literature for each bond of a compound.
TADFホスト化合物のS1エネルギーが基底状態での結合開裂エネルギーより低いことで、一重項励起状態で開裂反応が吸熱的となるために、消光物質の生成を抑制することができる。
Since the S 1 energy of the TADF host compound is lower than the bond cleavage energy in the ground state, the cleavage reaction becomes endothermic in the singlet excited state, so that generation of a quenching substance can be suppressed.
[1-3]その他のホスト化合物
本発明に係る発光層は、上記したTADFホスト化合物に加えて、更にその他のホスト化合物を含有していても良い。 [1-3] Other Host Compounds The light emitting layer according to the present invention may further contain other host compounds in addition to the above TADF host compound.

本発明に係るその他のホスト化合物は、発光層において主に電荷の注入及び輸送を担う化合物であり、有機EL素子においてそれ自体の発光は実質的に観測されない。また、本発明に係る発光層に含有される化合物の内で、その層中での体積比が50%以下であることが好ましい。また、その他のホスト化合物としては、TADFホスト化合物の最低励起三重項エネルギーより大きな三重項励起エネルギーを持つものが好ましい。体積比が50%以下であり、かつTADFホスト化合物の最低励起三重項エネルギーよりも高いことで、その他のホスト化合物上で電子-ホールの再結合が生じ三重項励起状態が形成された場合でも隣接したTADFホスト化合物が存在する確率が高いために、デクスター機構によりTADFホスト化合物にエネルギー移動したのち、一重項励起子に変換されるためである。
The other host compound according to the present invention is a compound mainly responsible for charge injection and transport in the light emitting layer, and its own light emission is not substantially observed in the organic EL element. Moreover, it is preferable that the volume ratio in the layer is 50% or less among the compounds contained in the light emitting layer which concerns on this invention. Further, as other host compounds, those having triplet excitation energy larger than the lowest excitation triplet energy of the TADF host compound are preferable. When the volume ratio is 50% or less and is higher than the lowest excited triplet energy of the TADF host compound, electron-hole recombination occurs on other host compounds, even when triplet excited states are formed. This is because there is a high probability that the TADF host compound exists, and the energy is transferred to the TADF host compound by the Dexter mechanism and then converted into singlet excitons.

その他のホスト化合物としては、正孔輸送能又は電子輸送能を有しつつ、かつ、発光の長波長化を防ぎ、更に、有機EL素子を高温駆動時や素子駆動中の発熱に対して安定して動作させる観点から、高いガラス転移温度(Tg)を有することが好ましい。好ましくはTgが90℃以上であり、より好ましくは120℃以上である。
ここで、ガラス転移点(Tg)とは、DSC(Differential Scanning Colorimetry:示差走査熱量法)を用いて、JIS-K-7121に準拠した方法により求められる値である。 Other host compounds may be used in combination. By using a plurality of other host compounds, the movement of charges can be adjusted, and the efficiency of the organic EL element can be increased.

A low molecular compound or a high molecular compound having a repeating unit may be used, and a compound having a reactive group such as a vinyl group or an epoxy group may be used.
As other host compounds, while having hole transporting ability or electron transporting ability, the emission of light is prevented from being increased in wavelength, and the organic EL element is stable against heat generation during driving at high temperature or during driving of the element. From the viewpoint of operating, it is preferable to have a high glass transition temperature (Tg). Tg is preferably 90 ° C. or higher, more preferably 120 ° C. or higher.

本発明においては、1層又は複数層の発光層が、発光色の異なる複数の発光ドーパントを含有し、白色発光を示すことも好ましい。
白色を示す発光ドーパントの組み合わせについては特に限定はないが、例えば青と橙や、青と緑と赤の組み合わせ等が挙げられる。
本発明の有機EL素子における白色とは、特に限定はなく、橙色寄りの白色であっても青色寄りの白色であっても良いが、2度視野角正面輝度を前述の方法により測定した際に、1000cd/m2でのCIE1931表色系における色度がx=0.39±0.09、y=0.38±0.08の領域内にあることが好ましい。 Moreover, the luminescent dopant used for this invention may be used in combination with multiple types of a phosphorescent metal complex dopant, and may be used in combination with a fluorescent luminescent dopant. Thereby, arbitrary luminescent colors can be obtained.
The light emission color of the organic EL device of the present invention and the compound used in the present invention is shown in FIG. 5.16 onpage 108 of “New Color Science Handbook” (Edited by the Japan Color Society, University of Tokyo Press, 1985).

In the present invention, it is also preferable that the light emitting layer of one layer or a plurality of layers contains a plurality of light emitting dopants having different emission colors and emits white light.
There are no particular limitations on the combination of the light-emitting dopants that exhibit white, and examples include blue and orange, and a combination of blue, green, and red.
The white color in the organic EL device of the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be white near orange or white near blue.

上記リン光量子収率は、第4版実験化学講座7の分光IIの398頁(1992年版、丸善)に記載の方法により測定できる。溶液中でのリン光量子収率は種々の溶媒を用いて測定できるが、本発明に係るリン光ドーパントは、任意の溶媒のいずれかにおいて上記リン光量子収率(0.01以上)が達成されれば良い。 [2-1] Phosphorescent dopant The phosphorescent dopant according to the present invention is a compound in which light emission from an excited triplet is observed, specifically, a compound that emits phosphorescence at room temperature (25 ° C.).

リン光ドーパントの発光は原理としては2種挙げられ、一つはキャリアが輸送されるホスト化合物上でキャリアの再結合が起こってホスト化合物の励起状態が生成し、このエネルギーをリン光ドーパントに移動させることでリン光ドーパントからの発光を得るというエネルギー移動型である。もう一つはリン光ドーパントがキャリアトラップとなり、リン光ドーパント上でキャリアの再結合が起こりリン光ドーパントからの発光が得られるというキャリアトラップ型である。いずれの場合においても、リン光ドーパントの励起状態のエネルギーはホスト化合物の励起状態のエネルギーよりも低いことが条件である。
本発明において使用できるリン光ドーパントとしては、有機EL素子の発光層に使用される公知のものの中から適宜選択して用いることができる。 There are two types of light emission of phosphorescent dopants in principle. One is the recombination of carriers on the host compound to which carriers are transported to generate an excited state of the host compound, and this energy is transferred to the phosphorescent dopant. It is an energy transfer type to obtain light emission from the phosphorescent dopant. The other is a carrier trap type in which a phosphorescent dopant serves as a carrier trap, and carrier recombination occurs on the phosphorescent dopant to emit light from the phosphorescent dopant. In any case, it is a condition that the excited state energy of the phosphorescent dopant is lower than the excited state energy of the host compound.
As a phosphorescence dopant which can be used in this invention, it can select from the well-known thing used for the light emitting layer of an organic EL element suitably, and can use it.

本発明においてTADFホスト化合物からリン光発光性金属錯体ドーパントへの一重項エネルギー移動効率は、10~100%の範囲内に設定されている。なお、TADFホスト化合物の発光が短波長である程、TADFホスト化合物の蛍光発光スペクトルとリン光発光性金属錯体ドーパントの吸収スペクトルとの重なりが増加し、一重項エネルギー移動効率が増加する。
本発明において、一重項エネルギー移動効率は、TADFホスト化合物単独膜の即時成分の蛍光寿命τ0、TADFホスト化合物にドーパントをドープした膜のTADF即時成分の蛍光寿命τ1から下式によって算出することができる。なお、即時成分(Prompt成分ともいう。)とはTADFホスト化合物が励起光で励起された後、その励起状態から即座に観測される発光を意味し、励起後即座には観測されず一定時間経過後に観察される遅延成分(Delay成分ともいう。)と区別される発光のことをいう。 [3] Singlet energy transfer efficiency In the present invention, the singlet energy transfer efficiency from the TADF host compound to the phosphorescent metal complex dopant is set in the range of 10 to 100%. Note that as the emission of the TADF host compound has a shorter wavelength, the overlap between the fluorescence emission spectrum of the TADF host compound and the absorption spectrum of the phosphorescent metal complex dopant increases, and the singlet energy transfer efficiency increases.
In the present invention, the singlet energy transfer efficiency can be calculated by the following equation from the fluorescence lifetime τ0 of the immediate component of the TADF host compound alone film and the fluorescence lifetime τ1 of the TADF immediate component of the film doped with the dopant to the TADF host compound. . The immediate component (also referred to as the Prompt component) means light emission that is immediately observed from the excited state after the TADF host compound is excited with the excitation light, and is not observed immediately after the excitation, and a certain time has elapsed. This refers to light emission that is distinguished from a delayed component (also referred to as a delay component) that is observed later.

TADFホスト化合物の一重項エネルギー移動効率が高いほど、三重項エネルギーが逆項間交差したときに一重項エネルギーが速やかにドーパントに移動するため、TADFホスト化合物が高いエネルギー状態に滞在する時間が短く、結合開裂による分解等からの消光物質の生成を抑制することができると考えられる。
また、より好ましくは、TADFホスト化合物の最大の発光ピーク強度が、ドーパントの最大の発光ピーク強度の10%以下である。 The higher the singlet energy transfer efficiency of the TADF host compound, the faster the singlet energy is transferred to the dopant when the triplet energy crosses the reverse intersystem, so the time for the TADF host compound to stay in a high energy state is short, It is thought that the production | generation of the quenching substance from the decomposition | disassembly etc. by bond cleavage can be suppressed.
More preferably, the maximum emission peak intensity of the TADF host compound is 10% or less of the maximum emission peak intensity of the dopant.

ここで、ドーパントのドープ濃度5vol%、10vol%における各分子量に対するドーパント分子間の平均距離r及びエネルギー移動効率Eを表2に示す。
上記式で算出された重なりが1×1014以上であると、フェルスター半径R0(熱活性化型遅延蛍光発光性のホスト化合物からリン光発光性金属錯体ドーパントへのエネルギー移動速度が、熱活性化型遅延蛍光発光性のホスト化合物自身での失活速度と等しくなる距離)が29オングストローム(ランダム配向仮定時(κ=2/3)、屈折率1.6を想定)となり、表2に示すドープ濃度10vol%のドーパント分子間の平均距離の半分よりも大きくなる。このため、TADFホスト化合物上で再結合して生成した三重項励起子を逆項間交差した一重項励起子から、近傍のドーパントへ効果的にエネルギー移動し、TADFホスト化合物上でのS1励起状態の滞留を抑制することができる。なお、ドーパント分子間の平均距離は、(ドーパントの数密度)-1/3で求められ、ドーパントの分子量、膜密度、ドーパント濃度を用いて求められる。 Here, Table 2 shows the average distance r between the dopant molecules and the energy transfer efficiency E with respect to each molecular weight at a dopant doping concentration of 5 vol% and 10 vol%.
When the overlap calculated by the above formula is 1 × 10 14 or more, the Förster radius R 0 (the energy transfer rate from the thermally activated delayed fluorescence host compound to the phosphorescent metal complex dopant is The distance equal to the deactivation rate of the activated delayed fluorescent host compound itself is 29 angstroms (when assuming random orientation (κ = 2/3), assuming a refractive index of 1.6). It becomes larger than half of the average distance between dopant molecules having a doping concentration of 10 vol%. For this reason, the triplet excitons generated by recombination on the TADF host compound effectively transfer energy from the singlet exciton crossing the reverse term to the neighboring dopant, and S 1 excitation on the TADF host compound. The retention of the state can be suppressed. The average distance between dopant molecules is determined by (number density of dopant) −1/3 , and is determined using the molecular weight of the dopant, the film density, and the dopant concentration.

An organic electroluminescent element emits light inside a layer having a refractive index higher than that of air (with a refractive index of about 1.6 to 2.1), and about 15% to 20% of light generated in the light emitting layer. It is generally said that only light can be extracted. This is because light incident on the interface (interface between the transparent substrate and air) at an angle θ greater than the critical angle causes total reflection and cannot be taken out of the element, or between the transparent electrode or light emitting layer and the transparent substrate. This is because the light undergoes total reflection between the light, the light is guided through the transparent electrode or the light emitting layer, and as a result, the light escapes in the side surface direction of the element.

透明電極と透明基板の間に低屈折率の媒質を光の波長よりも長い厚さで形成すると、透明電極から出てきた光は、媒質の屈折率が低いほど、外部への取り出し効率が高くなる。
低屈折率層としては、例えば、エアロゲル、多孔質シリカ、フッ化マグネシウム、フッ素系ポリマーなどが挙げられる。透明基板の屈折率は一般に1.5~1.7程度の範囲内であるので、低屈折率層は、屈折率がおよそ1.5以下であることが好ましい。また、更に1.35以下であることが好ましい。 When a low refractive index medium is formed between the transparent electrode and the transparent substrate with a thickness longer than the wavelength of light, the light extracted from the transparent electrode has a higher extraction efficiency to the outside as the refractive index of the medium is lower. Become.
Examples of the low refractive index layer include aerogel, porous silica, magnesium fluoride, and a fluorine-based polymer. Since the refractive index of the transparent substrate is generally in the range of about 1.5 to 1.7, the low refractive index layer preferably has a refractive index of about 1.5 or less. Further, it is preferably 1.35 or less.

Further, it is preferably 1.35 or less.
また、低屈折率媒質の厚さは、媒質中の波長の2倍以上となるのが望ましい。これは、低屈折率媒質の厚さが、光の波長程度になってエバネッセントで染み出した電磁波が基板内に入り込む層厚になると、低屈折率層の効果が薄れるからである。
全反射を起こす界面又は、いずれかの媒質中に回折格子を導入する方法は、光取り出し効率の向上効果が高いという特徴がある。この方法は、回折格子が1次の回折や、2次の回折といった、いわゆるブラッグ回折により、光の向きを屈折とは異なる特定の向きに変えることができる性質を利用して、発光層から発生した光のうち、層間での全反射等により外に出ることができない光を、いずれかの層間又は、媒質中(透明基板内や透明電極内)に回折格子を導入することで光を回折させ、光を外に取り出そうとするものである。 The thickness of the low refractive index medium is preferably at least twice the wavelength in the medium. This is because the effect of the low refractive index layer is diminished when the thickness of the low refractive index medium is about the wavelength of light and the electromagnetic wave exuded by evanescent enters the substrate.
The method of introducing a diffraction grating into an interface that causes total reflection or in any medium has a feature that the effect of improving the light extraction efficiency is high. This method uses the property that the diffraction grating can change the direction of light to a specific direction different from refraction by so-called Bragg diffraction, such as first-order diffraction or second-order diffraction. The light that cannot be emitted due to total internal reflection between layers is diffracted by introducing a diffraction grating in any layer or medium (inside a transparent substrate or transparent electrode). , Trying to extract light out.
全反射を起こす界面又は、いずれかの媒質中に回折格子を導入する方法は、光取り出し効率の向上効果が高いという特徴がある。この方法は、回折格子が1次の回折や、2次の回折といった、いわゆるブラッグ回折により、光の向きを屈折とは異なる特定の向きに変えることができる性質を利用して、発光層から発生した光のうち、層間での全反射等により外に出ることができない光を、いずれかの層間又は、媒質中(透明基板内や透明電極内)に回折格子を導入することで光を回折させ、光を外に取り出そうとするものである。 The thickness of the low refractive index medium is preferably at least twice the wavelength in the medium. This is because the effect of the low refractive index layer is diminished when the thickness of the low refractive index medium is about the wavelength of light and the electromagnetic wave exuded by evanescent enters the substrate.
The method of introducing a diffraction grating into an interface that causes total reflection or in any medium has a feature that the effect of improving the light extraction efficiency is high. This method uses the property that the diffraction grating can change the direction of light to a specific direction different from refraction by so-called Bragg diffraction, such as first-order diffraction or second-order diffraction. The light that cannot be emitted due to total internal reflection between layers is diffracted by introducing a diffraction grating in any layer or medium (inside a transparent substrate or transparent electrode). , Trying to extract light out.
導入する回折格子は、二次元的な周期屈折率を持っていることが望ましい。これは、発光層で発光する光はあらゆる方向にランダムに発生するので、ある方向にのみ周期的な屈折率分布を持っている一般的な一次元回折格子では、特定の方向に進む光しか回折されず、光の取り出し効率がさほど上がらない。
しかしながら、屈折率分布を二次元的な分布にすることにより、あらゆる方向に進む光が回折され、光の取り出し効率が上がる。
回折格子を導入する位置としては、いずれかの層間、若しくは媒質中(透明基板内や透明電極内)でも良いが、光が発生する場所である有機発光層の近傍が望ましい。このとき、回折格子の周期は、媒質中の光の波長の約1/2~3倍程度の範囲内が好ましい。回折格子の配列は、正方形のラチス状、三角形のラチス状、ハニカムラチス状など、二次元的に配列が繰り返されることが好ましい。 The introduced diffraction grating desirably has a two-dimensional periodic refractive index. This is because light emitted from the light-emitting layer is randomly generated in all directions, so in a general one-dimensional diffraction grating having a periodic refractive index distribution only in a certain direction, only light traveling in a specific direction is diffracted. The light extraction efficiency does not increase so much.
However, by making the refractive index distribution a two-dimensional distribution, light traveling in all directions is diffracted, and light extraction efficiency is increased.
The position where the diffraction grating is introduced may be in any of the layers or in the medium (in the transparent substrate or the transparent electrode), but is preferably in the vicinity of the organic light emitting layer where light is generated. At this time, the period of the diffraction grating is preferably in the range of about 1/2 to 3 times the wavelength of light in the medium. The arrangement of the diffraction gratings is preferably two-dimensionally repeated, such as a square lattice, a triangular lattice, or a honeycomb lattice.

One side is preferably within a range of 10 to 100 μm.

次に、画素の発光プロセスを説明する。図5は画素の回路を示した概略図である。
画素は、有機EL素子10、スイッチングトランジスタ11、駆動トランジスタ12、コンデンサー13等を備えている。複数の画素に有機EL素子10として、赤色、緑色及び青色発光の有機EL素子を用い、これらを同一基板上に並置することでフルカラー表示を行うことができる。 Next, the light emission process of the pixel will be described. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a pixel circuit.
The pixel includes anorganic EL element 10, a switching transistor 11, a driving transistor 12, a capacitor 13, and the like. A full color display can be performed by using red, green, and blue light emitting organic EL elements as the organic EL elements 10 in a plurality of pixels, and juxtaposing them on the same substrate.

The pixel includes an
図5において、制御部Bからデータ線6を介してスイッチングトランジスタ11のドレインに画像データ信号が印加される。そして、制御部Bから走査線5を介してスイッチングトランジスタ11のゲートに走査信号が印加されると、スイッチングトランジスタ11の駆動がオンし、ドレインに印加された画像データ信号がコンデンサー13と駆動トランジスタ12のゲートに伝達される。
In FIG. 5, an image data signal is applied from the control unit B to the drain of the switching transistor 11 through the data line 6. When a scanning signal is applied from the control unit B to the gate of the switching transistor 11 via the scanning line 5, the driving of the switching transistor 11 is turned on, and the image data signal applied to the drain is supplied to the capacitor 13 and the driving transistor 12. Is transmitted to the gate.
画像データ信号の伝達により、コンデンサー13が画像データ信号の電位に応じて充電されるとともに、駆動トランジスタ12の駆動がオンする。駆動トランジスタ12は、ドレインが電源ライン7に接続され、ソースが有機EL素子10の電極に接続されており、ゲートに印加された画像データ信号の電位に応じて電源ライン7から有機EL素子10に電流が供給される。
By transmitting the image data signal, the capacitor 13 is charged according to the potential of the image data signal, and the drive transistor 12 is turned on. The drive transistor 12 has a drain connected to the power supply line 7 and a source connected to the electrode of the organic EL element 10, and the power supply line 7 connects to the organic EL element 10 according to the potential of the image data signal applied to the gate. Current is supplied.
制御部Bの順次走査により走査信号が次の走査線5に移ると、スイッチングトランジスタ11の駆動がオフする。しかし、スイッチングトランジスタ11の駆動がオフしてもコンデンサー13は充電された画像データ信号の電位を保持するので、駆動トランジスタ12の駆動はオン状態が保たれて、次の走査信号の印加が行われるまで有機EL素子10の発光が継続する。順次走査により次に走査信号が印加されたとき、走査信号に同期した次の画像データ信号の電位に応じて駆動トランジスタ12が駆動して有機EL素子10が発光する。
すなわち、有機EL素子10の発光は、複数の画素それぞれの有機EL素子10に対して、アクティブ素子であるスイッチングトランジスタ11と駆動トランジスタ12を設けて、複数の画素3それぞれの有機EL素子10の発光を行っている。このような発光方法をアクティブマトリクス方式と呼んでいる。 When the scanning signal is moved to thenext scanning line 5 by the sequential scanning of the control unit B, the driving of the switching transistor 11 is turned off. However, since the capacitor 13 holds the charged potential of the image data signal even if the driving of the switching transistor 11 is turned off, the driving of the driving transistor 12 is kept on and the next scanning signal is applied. Until then, the light emission of the organic EL element 10 continues.

《薄膜1-1~1-4の評価》
上記作製した薄膜1-1のPLスペクトル及び絶対PL量子収率を、絶対PL量子収率測定装置C9920-02(浜松ホトニクス社製)を用い、室温にて280nmの励起波長で測定した。無酸素状態における薄膜1-1の絶対PL量子収率は0.6であり、酸素雰囲気下での絶対PL量子収率は0.2であった。無酸素状態と酸素雰囲気下とで絶対PL量子収率の値に変化が生じていることから、化合物H-1は熱活性化型遅延蛍光化合物(TADF化合物)であることが示された。 << Evaluation of thin films 1-1 to 1-4 >>
The PL spectrum and absolute PL quantum yield of the produced thin film 1-1 were measured at room temperature with an excitation wavelength of 280 nm using an absolute PL quantum yield measuring apparatus C9920-02 (manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics). The absolute PL quantum yield of the thin film 1-1 in the oxygen-free state was 0.6, and the absolute PL quantum yield in an oxygen atmosphere was 0.2. Changes in absolute PL quantum yield values between anoxic and oxygen atmospheres indicated that Compound H-1 is a thermally activated delayed fluorescent compound (TADF compound).

Changes in absolute PL quantum yield values between anoxic and oxygen atmospheres indicated that Compound H-1 is a thermally activated delayed fluorescent compound (TADF compound).
また、薄膜1-1の発光寿命を、過渡PL特性を測定することによって行った。過渡PL特性の測定には、小型蛍光寿命測定装置C11367-03(浜松ホトニクス社製)を用いた。具体的には、遅い減衰成分はフラッシュランプ励起によるM9003-01モードにて、早い減衰成分は、340nmのLEDを励起光源としたTCC900モードにて測定した。ここで、典型的には、蛍光成分はナノ秒に観測され、リン光発光及び三重項状態に由来する遅延蛍光成分はマイクロ又はミリ秒単位で観測される。薄膜1-1に対して測定を行ったところ、無酸素状態における発光寿命は10ns及び300nsの成分が観測されたが、酸素雰囲気下における発光寿命は10nsの成分のみ観測された。これは、化合物H-1の発光に三重項状態が関与していることを示しており、室温でマイクロ秒の発光寿命が観測されていることも併せ、化合物H-1は熱活性型遅延蛍光化合物(TADF化合物)であることが示された。
Further, the light emission lifetime of the thin film 1-1 was measured by measuring the transient PL characteristics. A small fluorescent lifetime measuring device C11367-03 (manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics) was used for measurement of transient PL characteristics. Specifically, the slow decay component was measured in the M9003-01 mode by flash lamp excitation, and the fast decay component was measured in the TCC900 mode using a 340 nm LED as the excitation light source. Here, typically, the fluorescence component is observed in nanoseconds, and the delayed fluorescence component derived from phosphorescence and triplet states is observed in micro or millisecond units. When measurement was performed on the thin film 1-1, components of 10 ns and 300 ns were observed for the emission lifetime in the oxygen-free state, but only a component of 10 ns was observed for the emission lifetime in the oxygen atmosphere. This indicates that the triplet state is involved in the light emission of compound H-1, and that a light emission lifetime of microseconds is observed at room temperature, compound H-1 is thermally activated delayed fluorescence. It was shown to be a compound (TADF compound).

下記の方法に従って、HgXe光源を用いたUV照射試験における輝度残存率を求めた。HgXe光源を用いたUV照射試験としては、浜松ホトニクス製水銀キセノンランプUV照射装置LC8を使用し、UVカットフィルターにA9616-05を取り付けて使用した。照射ファイバー出光面と試料(青色発光層単層)のガラスカバー表面が水平をなすように配置し、1cmの距離にて、発光フォトン数が半減するまで照射した。測定は室温(300K)及び330Kの条件下で行った。
各サンプルについて、発光フォトン数が半減するまでに要した時間(半減時間)を、薄膜2-1の室温(300K)における値を1とする相対値で示した。その結果を表4に示す。なお、輝度の測定は、照射ファイバーの軸から45度傾いた角度から分光放射輝度計CS-1000(コニカミノルタ社製)により測定した。 (Evaluation of single layer sample of light emitting layer: UV light resistance test)
According to the following method, the luminance residual ratio in the UV irradiation test using the HgXe light source was determined. As a UV irradiation test using a HgXe light source, a mercury xenon lamp UV irradiation device LC8 manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics was used, and an A9616-05 was attached to a UV cut filter. The irradiation fiber light exit surface and the glass cover surface of the sample (blue light emitting layer single layer) were arranged so as to be horizontal, and irradiation was performed at a distance of 1 cm until the number of emitted photons was reduced to half. The measurement was performed under conditions of room temperature (300K) and 330K.
For each sample, the time (half time) required for the number of luminescent photons to be halved is shown as a relative value with the value of the thin film 2-1 at room temperature (300 K) being 1. The results are shown in Table 4. The luminance was measured with a spectral radiance meter CS-1000 (manufactured by Konica Minolta) from an angle inclined by 45 degrees from the axis of the irradiation fiber.

表4の結果から、TADF化合物をホスト化合物として用い、リン光発光性金属錯体ドーパントと組み合わせることにより、リン光発光性金属錯体の消光速度を抑制できることが分かる。
また、非TADF化合物をホスト化合物とした場合、分解等の反応速度がアレニウス式に従って温度上昇にともない増加するために、素子寿命が低下する。これに対し、本発明のようにTADF化合物をホスト化合物とした場合、分解等の反応速度は同様に増加するものの、高温下でT1のS1への逆項間交差が促進されるため、三重項状態に存在する時間が減少し、分解等の反応確率が減少するために、素子寿命の向上又は低下幅の抑制が見られると考えられる。 From the results in Table 4, it can be seen that the quenching rate of the phosphorescent metal complex can be suppressed by using the TADF compound as a host compound and combining it with the phosphorescent metal complex dopant.
Further, when a non-TADF compound is used as a host compound, the reaction rate of decomposition or the like increases as the temperature rises according to the Arrhenius equation, so that the device life is reduced. On the other hand, when the TADF compound is used as the host compound as in the present invention, the reaction rate such as decomposition similarly increases, but since the crossing between the reverse terms of T 1 to S 1 is promoted at high temperature, Since the time in the triplet state is reduced and the reaction probability such as decomposition is reduced, it is considered that the device lifetime is improved or the reduction width is suppressed.
