- the types of excited states formed by an organic compound include a singlet excited state (S * ) and a triplet excited state (T * ).
- the emission from the singlet excited state is fluorescence, and the emission from the triplet excited state is It is called phosphorescence.
- light-emitting elements using phosphorescent materials in particular, light-emitting elements that emit blue light have not yet been put into practical use because it is difficult to develop a stable compound having a high triplet excitation energy level. Therefore, a light emitting element using a more stable fluorescent material has been developed, and a method for increasing the light emission efficiency of the light emitting element (fluorescent light emitting element) using the fluorescent material is being searched for.

Singlet excitation energy of the compound 131 can be transferred to the compound 132. (FIG. 1 (C) Route A 2 ). It preferred this time, if it is S C1 ⁇ S G.
- the route A 2 process competes with the light emission process of the compound 131 (the transition from the S1 level of the compound 131 to the ground state). That is, singlet excitation energy of the compound 131 is converted into light emission of the compound 131 and light emission of the compound 132.

- the emission color can be adjusted by adjusting the concentrations of the compound 131 and the compound 132.
- the S1 level of the compound 131 is higher than the S1 level of the compound 132. Therefore, an emission spectrum from the compound 131 is obtained on the shorter wavelength side than the compound 132. More specifically, the peak wavelength of the emission spectrum of the compound 131 is located on the shorter wavelength side than the peak wavelength of the emission spectrum of the compound 132. With this configuration, energy can be efficiently transferred from the compound 131 to the compound 132, and a multicolor light-emitting element with favorable light emission efficiency can be obtained.

Therefore, a process in which the triplet excitation energy of the compound 131 is converted into the triplet excitation energy of the compound 132 in competition with the route A 1 and the route A 2 (FIG. 1C, route A 3 ) may occur. Since the compound 132 is a fluorescent material, the triplet excitation energy of the compound 132 does not contribute to light emission.

Therefore, it contributes to a decrease in luminous efficiency.
- the guest material 302 has a protective group 320. Therefore, the distance between the luminophore 310 and the host material 330 can be increased. Thus, energy transfer (route A 5 ) by the Dexter mechanism can be suppressed.
- the guest material 302 in order for the guest material 302 to emit light, since the Dexter mechanism is suppressed, the guest material 302 needs to receive energy from the host material 330 by the Forster mechanism. That is, it is preferable to efficiently use the energy transfer by the Forster mechanism while suppressing the energy transfer by the Dexter mechanism. It is known that the energy transfer by the Forster mechanism is also affected by the distance between the host material and the guest material. In general, when the distance between the host material 330 and the guest material 302 is 1 nm or less, the Dexter mechanism is dominant, and when the distance is 1 nm or more and 10 nm or less, the Forster mechanism is dominant.

- the substituent used as a protecting group needs to have a triplet excitation energy level higher than the T1 level of the luminophore and the host material. Therefore, it is preferable to use a saturated hydrocarbon group. This is because a substituent having no ⁇ bond has a high triplet excitation energy level. A substituent having no ⁇ bond has a low function of transporting carriers (electrons or holes). Therefore, the saturated hydrocarbon group can increase the distance between the luminophore and the host material with little influence on the excited state or carrier transport property of the host material.

本実施の形態では、本発明の一態様の発光素子について、図1乃至図6を用いて以下説明する。
まず、本発明の一態様の発光素子の構成について、図1を用いて、以下説明する。
次に、発光層130の発光機構について、以下説明を行う。
図1(C)は、本発明の一態様の発光素子中の発光層におけるエネルギー準位の相関の一例である。本構成例では化合物131にTADF材料を用いた場合について示している。

図2(A)に一般的な蛍光性材料である、保護基を有さない蛍光性材料をゲスト材料としてホスト材料に分散させた場合の、図2(B)に本発明の一態様の発光素子に用いる、保護基を有する蛍光性材料をゲスト材料としてホスト材料に分散させた場合の概念図を示す。ホスト材料はエネルギードナー、ゲスト材料はエネルギーアクセプターと読み替えても構わない。ここで、保護基は、発光団とホスト材料との距離を遠ざける機能を有する。図2(A)において、ゲスト材料301は発光団310を有する。一方、図2(B)において、ゲスト材料302は発光団310と保護基320を有する。また、図2(A)及び(B)においてゲスト材料301及びゲスト材料302はホスト材料330に囲まれている。図2(A)では発光団とホスト材料の距離が近いため、ホスト材料330からゲスト材料301へのエネルギー移動として、フェルスター機構によるエネルギー移動(図2(A)及び(B)中、ルートA4)とデクスター機構によるエネルギー移動(図2(A)及び(B)中、ルートA5)の両方が生じうる。デクスター機構によるホスト材料からゲスト材料への三重項励起エネルギーのエネルギー移動が生じゲスト材料の三重項励起状態が生成すると、ゲスト材料が蛍光性材料である場合、三重項励起エネルギーが無放射失活するため、発光効率低下の一因となる。

ここで、フェルスター機構と、デクスター機構について説明する。ここでは、励起状態である第1の材料から基底状態である第2の材料への励起エネルギーの供与に関し、第1の材料と第2の材料との分子間のエネルギー移動過程について説明するが、どちらか一方が励起錯体の場合も同様である。
フェルスター機構では、エネルギー移動に、分子間の直接的接触を必要とせず、第1の材料及び第2の材料の双極子振動の共鳴現象を通じてエネルギー移動が起こる。双極子振動の共鳴現象によって第1の材料が第2の材料にエネルギーを受け渡し、励起状態の第1の材料が基底状態になり、基底状態の第2の材料が励起状態になる。なお、フェルスター機構の速度定数kh*→gを数式(1)に示す。
デクスター機構では、第1の材料と第2の材料が軌道の重なりを生じる接触有効距離に近づき、励起状態の第1の材料の電子と、基底状態の第2の材料との電子の交換を通じてエネルギー移動が起こる。なお、デクスター機構の速度定数kh*→gを数式(2)に示す。
まず、フェルスター機構によるエネルギー移動を考える。数式(3)に数式(1)を代入することでτを消去することができる。したがって、フェルスター機構の場合、エネルギー移動効率φETは、第1の材料の励起状態の寿命τに依存しない。また、エネルギー移動効率φETは、発光量子収率φが高い方が良いと言える。
次に、本発明の一態様に係わる発光素子の構成要素の詳細について、以下説明を行う。
発光層130に用いることができる材料について、それぞれ以下に説明する。本発明の一態様の発光素子の発光層には、三重項励起エネルギーを発光に変換する機能を有するエネルギーアクセプターと、発光団に保護基を有するエネルギードナーを用いる。三重項励起エネルギーを発光に変換する機能を有する材料としては、TADF性材料や燐光性材料が挙げられる。

正孔輸送層112は正孔輸送性材料を含む層であり、正孔注入層111の材料として例示した材料を使用することができる。正孔輸送層112は正孔注入層111に注入された正孔を発光層130へ輸送する機能を有するため、正孔注入層111のHOMO準位と同じ、あるいは近いHOMO準位を有することが好ましい。
電子輸送層118は、電子注入層119を経て一対の電極の他方(電極101または電極102)から注入された電子を発光層130へ輸送する機能を有する。電子輸送性材料としては、正孔よりも電子の輸送性の高い材料を用いることができ、1×10−6cm2/Vs以上の電子移動度を有する材料であることが好ましい。電子を受け取りやすい化合物(電子輸送性を有する材料)としては、含窒素複素芳香族化合物のようなπ電子不足型複素芳香族や金属錯体などを用いることができる。具体的には、発光層130に用いることができる電子輸送性材料として挙げたキノリン配位子、ベンゾキノリン配位子、オキサゾール配位子、あるいはチアゾール配位子を有する金属錯体が挙げられる。また、オキサジアゾール誘導体、トリアゾール誘導体、フェナントロリン誘導体、ピリジン誘導体、ビピリジン誘導体、ピリミジン誘導体などが挙げられる。また、1×10−6cm2/Vs以上の電子移動度を有する物質であることが好ましい。なお、正孔よりも電子の輸送性の高い物質であれば、上記以外の物質を電子輸送層として用いても構わない。また、電子輸送層118は、単層だけでなく、上記物質からなる層が二層以上積層してもよい。
電子注入層119は電極102からの電子注入障壁を低減することで電子注入を促進する機能を有し、例えば第1族金属、第2族金属、あるいはこれらの酸化物、ハロゲン化物、炭酸塩などを用いることができる。また、先に示す電子輸送性材料と、これに対して電子供与性を示す材料の複合材料を用いることもできる。電子供与性を示す材料としては、第1族金属、第2族金属、あるいはこれらの酸化物などを挙げることができる。具体的には、フッ化リチウム(LiF)、フッ化ナトリウム(NaF)、フッ化セシウム(CsF)、フッ化カルシウム(CaF2)、リチウム酸化物(LiOx)等のようなアルカリ金属、アルカリ土類金属、またはそれらの化合物を用いることができる。また、フッ化エルビウム(ErF3)のような希土類金属化合物を用いることができる。また、電子注入層119にエレクトライドを用いてもよい。該エレクトライドとしては、例えば、カルシウムとアルミニウムの混合酸化物に電子を高濃度添加した物質等が挙げられる。また、電子注入層119に、電子輸送層118で用いることが出来る物質を用いても良い。

本実施の形態では、本発明の一態様の発光素子に好適に用いることのできる有機化合物の合成法の一例について、一般式(G1)及び(G2)で表される有機化合物を例に説明する。
上記一般式(G1)で表される有機化合物は、種々の反応を適用した合成方法により合成することができる。例えば、下記に示す合成スキーム(S−1)および(S−2)により合成することができる。化合物1と、アリールアミン(化合物2)と、アリールアミン(化合物3)とをカップリングすることにより、ジアミン化合物(化合物4)を得る。
本実施の形態においては、実施の形態1に示す発光素子の構成と異なる構成の発光素子について、図7を用いて、以下説明を行う。なお、図7において、図1(A)に示す符号と同様の機能を有する箇所には、同様のハッチパターンとし、符号を省略する場合がある。また、同様の機能を有する箇所には、同様の符号を付し、その詳細な説明は省略する場合がある。
図7は、発光素子250の断面模式図である。図7に示す発光素子250は、一対の電極(電極101及び電極102)の間に、複数の発光ユニット(発光ユニット106及び発光ユニット108)を有する。複数の発光ユニットのうちいずれか一つの発光ユニットは、図1(A)に示した、EL層100と同様な構成を有すると好ましい。つまり、図1(A)で示した発光素子150は、1つの発光ユニットを有し、発光素子250は、複数の発光ユニットを有すると好ましい。なお、発光素子250において、電極101が陽極として機能し、電極102が陰極として機能するとして、以下説明するが、発光素子250の構成としては、逆であっても構わない。
本実施の形態では実施の形態1及び実施の形態3で説明した発光素子を用いた発光装置について、図8(A)及び図8(B)を用いて説明する。
図9には発光装置の一例として、白色発光を呈する発光素子を形成し、着色層(カラーフィルタ)を形成した発光装置の例を示す。
トップエミッション型の発光装置の断面図を図10(A)及び図10(B)に示す。この場合、基板1001は光を通さない基板を用いることができる。TFTと発光素子の陽極とを接続する接続電極を作製するまでは、ボトムエミッション型の発光装置と同様に形成する。その後、第3の層間絶縁膜1037を電極1022を覆って形成する。この絶縁膜は平坦化の役割を担っていても良い。第3の層間絶縁膜1037は第2の層間絶縁膜1021と同様の材料の他、他の様々な材料を用いて形成することができる。
本実施の形態では、本発明の一態様の電子機器及び表示装置について説明する。
本実施の形態では、本発明の一態様の発光素子を様々な照明装置に適用する一例について、図14を用いて説明する。本発明の一態様である発光素子を用いることで、発光効率が良好な、信頼性の高い照明装置を作製できる。
以下に、本実施例で作製した発光素子の作製方法を示す。
ガラス基板上に電極101として、ITSO膜を厚さが70nmになるように形成した。なお、電極101の電極面積は、4mm2(2mm×2mm)とした。
発光素子2は先に示す比較発光素子1と、発光層130の構成のみ異なり、それ以外の工程は比較発光素子1と同様の作製方法とした。素子構造の詳細は表1に示す通りであるため、作製方法の詳細は省略する。なお、発光素子2の発光層130中、構造式(100)で表される有機化合物である、2−tert−ブチル−N,N,N’,N’−テトラキス(4−tert−ブチルフェニル)−9,10−アントラセンジアミン(略称:2tBu−ptBuDPhA2Anth)が発光団の周りに保護基を有するゲスト材料である。
次に、上記作製した比較発光素子1及び発光素子2の特性を測定した。輝度およびCIE色度の測定には色彩輝度計(トプコン社製、BM−5A)を用い、電界発光スペクトルの測定にはマルチチャンネル分光器(浜松ホトニクス社製、PMA−11)を用いた。
次に、各発光素子の発光層に用いた、4,6mCzP2Pm及びIr(MPtz1−mp)3の電気化学的特性(酸化反応特性および還元反応特性)をサイクリックボルタンメトリ(CV)測定によって測定した。測定方法及び算出方法を以下に示す。
次に、比較発光素子1及び発光素子2の2.0mAにおける定電流駆動試験を行った。その結果を図17に示す。図17より蛍光性材料を発光層に有する発光素子2の方が比較発光素子1よりも信頼性が良好であることが分かった。これは、蛍光性材料を加えることによって、発光層内の励起エネルギーを効率良く発光に変換できていることを示唆している。蛍光性材料は発光速度が速いため、発光層中の励起状態の分子は、蛍光性材料に励起エネルギーを受け渡すことで、速やかに基底状態へ戻ることができる。そのため、蛍光性材料を加えることによって、輝度劣化の要因となり得る、分子の劣化や消光因子の発生を抑制することができる。三重項増感素子において、一般的な蛍光材料を用いると、発光層中の三重項励起子が失活してしまい、発光効率が良好かつ信頼性も良好な発光素子を作製することは困難である。しかし、本発明の一態様の発光素子では、発光団の周囲に保護基を有する蛍光性材料を用いるため、三重項励起子の失活を抑制できる。そのため、高効率かつ高信頼性の発光素子を作製することができる。
以下に、本実施例で作製した発光素子の作製方法を示す。
ガラス基板上に電極101として、ITSO膜を厚さが70nmになるように形成した。なお、電極101の電極面積は、4mm2(2mm×2mm)とした。
発光素子4の作製工程は、先に示す比較発光素子3の作製工程と発光層130が、比較発光素子5及び発光素子6の作製工程は比較発光素子3の作製工程と正孔輸送層112及び発光層130が異なり、それ以外の工程は比較発光素子3と同様の作製方法とした。素子構造の詳細は表3に示す通りであるため、作製方法の詳細は省略する。
次に、上記作製した比較発光素子3、発光素子4、比較発光素子5及び発光素子6の素子特性を測定した。なお、測定方法は実施例1と同様である。
次に、各発光素子の発光層に用いた、4,6mCzP2Pm及びPCCPの電気化学的特性(酸化反応特性および還元反応特性)をサイクリックボルタンメトリ(CV)測定によって測定した。測定は実施例1に示す方法と同様に行った。
次に、比較発光素子3、発光素子4、比較発光素子5、発光素子6の2.0mAにおける定電流駆動試験を行った。その結果を図21に示す。図21より蛍光性材料を発光層に有する発光素子4及び発光素子6の方が比較発光素子3及び比較発光素子5よりも信頼性が良好であることが分かった。これは、実施例1で述べたように、蛍光性材料を加えることによって、発光層内の励起エネルギーを効率良く発光に変換できていることを示唆している。よって、本発明の一態様の発光素子では、三重項増感素子において、保護基を有する蛍光性材料を用いることで、高効率かつ高信頼性の発光素子を作製することができる。
ガラス基板上に電極101として、ITSO膜を厚さが70nmになるように形成した。なお、電極101の電極面積は、4mm2(2mm×2mm)とした。
比較発光素子8及び発光素子9は先に示す比較発光素子7と、発光層130の構成のみ異なり、それ以外の工程は比較発光素子7と同様の作製方法とした。素子構造の詳細は表5に示す通りであるため、作製方法の詳細は省略する。なお、発光素子9の発光層130中、FirpicはIrを有する燐光性材料であり、エネルギードナーとして機能する。また、構造式(103)で表される有機化合物である、2,6−ジ−tert−ブチル−N,N,N’,N’−テトラキス(3,5−ジ−tert−ブチルフェニル)−9,10−アントラセンジアミン(略称:2,6tBu−mmtBuDPhA2Anth)が発光団の周りに保護基を有するゲスト材料である。
次に、上記作製した比較発光素子7、比較発光素子8及び発光素子9の特性を測定した。なお、測定方法は実施例1と同様である。
次に比較発光素子7、比較発光素子8、及び発光素子9の蛍光寿命測定を行った。測定にはピコ秒蛍光寿命測定システム(浜松ホトニクス社製)を用いた。本測定では、発光素子に矩形パルス電圧を印加し、その電圧の立下りから減衰していく発光をストリークカメラにより時間分解測定した。パルス電圧は10Hzの周期で印加し、繰り返し測定したデータを積算することにより、S/N比の高いデータを得た。また、測定は室温(300K)で、発光素子の輝度が1000cd/m2付近になるよう印加パルス電圧を3Vから4V付近で印加し、印加パルス時間幅が100μsec、負バイアス電圧が−5V(素子駆動のOFF時)、測定時間範囲が20μsecの条件で行った。測定結果を図43に示す。なお、測定結果を図43において、縦軸は、定常的にキャリアが注入されている状態(パルス電圧のON時)における発光強度で規格化した強度で示す。また、横軸は、パルス電圧の立下りからの経過時間を示す。
