- delayed fluorescence A compound that emits delayed fluorescence is characterized in that its triplet excited state is quickly converted to a singlet excited state, and singlet oxygen is less likely to be generated. It was found that this feature prevents deterioration of the light-emitting material, suppresses changes in chromaticity over time, and improves durability. This mechanism will be explained in order.
- the chromaticity change of the color conversion composition is caused by the deterioration of the luminescent material.
- This degradation of the luminescent material is caused by singlet oxygen.
- Singlet oxygen is a singlet state in which the two electrons in the ⁇ * orbital (antibonding ⁇ orbital) of the molecular orbital of the oxygen molecule have different spin directions, that is, the excitation in which the total spin quantum number is 0 is the oxygen molecule in the state
- Such excited states include the ⁇ 1 state in which each of the two ⁇ * orbitals is occupied by electrons with different spin directions, and the There are ⁇ 1 states occupied by two different electrons.
- Singlet oxygen has a strong electrophilicity due to its vacant electron orbit in the ⁇ 1 state, and has a strong oxidizing power. Therefore, it is considered that singlet oxygen causes deterioration due to oxidation of the light-emitting material.
- Singlet oxygen is thought to be unlikely to be generated by direct photoexcitation of ground-state triplet oxygen. This is because the transition from triplet oxygen in the ground state to singlet oxygen in the excited state is a spin-forbidden transition, and the transition probability is very low.
- singlet oxygen is considered to be generated by the exchange of electrons and energy between the triplet excited state of the light-emitting material and the triplet oxygen molecule in the ground state.
- the generation mechanism is considered as follows.
- the light-emitting material changes from the singlet ground state to the singlet excited state by photoexcitation, and further, a part of the light-emitting material changes from the singlet excited state to the triplet excited state due to intersystem crossing. Since the transition from the triplet excited state of the generated luminescent material to the singlet ground state is a spin-forbidden transition, the transition probability is usually low and the triplet excited state has a long lifetime. However, when triplet oxygen in the ground state coexists, the spin inhibition is lifted by the excitation of the triplet oxygen in the ground state to the singlet oxygen in the excited state. It can be rapidly deactivated to the ground state. This mechanism is called the Dexter mechanism (electronic exchange mechanism).
- the Dexter mechanism In order for the Dexter mechanism to proceed, it is necessary to exchange electrons through wave function overlap between molecules. Therefore, it is considered necessary to directly collide the energy donor molecule (in this case, the triplet excited light-emitting material) and the energy acceptor molecule (in this case, ground state triplet oxygen).
- the energy donor molecule in this case, the triplet excited light-emitting material
- the energy acceptor molecule in this case, ground state triplet oxygen
- compounds that emit delayed fluorescence have the property that the triplet excited state quickly converts to the singlet excited state, that is, the triplet excited state has a short lifetime. Therefore, the probability of direct collision between the triplet excited state of the light-emitting material and triplet oxygen in the ground state is reduced, and singlet oxygen is less likely to occur.
- the polycyclic aromatic compound of the present invention is a compound that emits delayed fluorescence, generation of singlet oxygen can be suppressed, and durability of the color conversion composition can be improved. can.
- the polycyclic aromatic compound of the present invention is a light-emitting material whose HOMO level is -5.7 eV or less.
- the HOMO level of the light-emitting material is higher than ⁇ 5.7 eV, the light-emitting material is oxidized due to the interaction with oxygen contained in the composition containing the light-emitting material when the excitation-light emission cycle is repeated. Since it is quenched, it causes deterioration of durability.
- the HOMO level of the light-emitting material is ⁇ 5.7 eV or less, the electron density of the light-emitting material is lowered. As a result, the stability of the light-emitting material against oxygen can be improved, and the durability can be improved.
- the HOMO level of the polycyclic aromatic compound of the present invention is preferably -6.0 eV or less.
- the electron density of the compound can be further reduced. Therefore, the stability of the polycyclic aromatic compound of the present invention against oxygen is improved, and the durability of the polycyclic aromatic compound can be improved.
- the HOMO level of the polycyclic aromatic compound of the present invention is more preferably ⁇ 6.2 eV or less, and even more preferably ⁇ 6.5 eV or less.
- the HOMO level of a compound can be calculated by calculation.

Abstract
Description
本発明の実施形態に係る多環芳香族化合物は、色変換組成物や色変換シートなどを構成する色変換材料である。詳細には、この多環芳香族化合物は、励起光を用いることによってピーク波長が500nm以上750nm以下の領域に観測される発光を呈し、HOMO準位が-5.7eV以下であり、遅延蛍光を放出する化合物である。以下、本発明の実施形態に係る多環芳香族化合物を「本発明の多環芳香族化合物」と略記する場合がある。
本発明の多環芳香族化合物は、励起光を用いることによってピーク波長が500nm以上750nm以下の領域に観測される発光を呈する化合物である。例えば、本発明の多環芳香族化合物は、励起光を用いることにより、ピーク波長が500nm以上580nm未満の領域に観測される発光を呈することが好ましい。以後、ピーク波長が500nm以上580nm未満の領域に観測される発光は、「緑色の発光」という。
遅延蛍光を放出する化合物は、その三重項励起状態が速やかに一重項励起状態に変換するため、一重項酸素を発生させにくいという特徴を有している。そして、この特徴により、発光材料の劣化を防ぎ、色度の経時的な変化を抑制して耐久性を向上させられることが見出されたのである。本メカニズムについて順次解説する。
本発明の多環芳香族化合物は、そのHOMO準位が-5.7eV以下の発光材料である。発光材料のHOMO準位が-5.7eVより高い場合、励起-発光のサイクルが繰り返されると、その発光材料を含む組成物中に含まれる酸素との相互作用により、発光材料が酸化されてしまい消光するため、耐久性悪化の原因になる。発光材料のHOMO準位が-5.7eV以下であることで、発光材料の電子密度が下がる。これにより、発光材料の酸素に対する安定性が向上し、耐久性を向上させることができる。
本発明の多環芳香族化合物の発光ピーク波長における発光スペクトルの半値幅は、高い色純度の発光が得られ、液晶ディスプレイに用いた場合にディスプレイの高色域化を達成するという観点から、40nm以下であることが好ましく、30nm以下であることがより好ましく、25nm以下であることがさらに好ましい。
本発明の多環芳香族化合物としては、特に限定はないが、下記の一般式(1)または一般式(2)で表される構造を有する化合物が好ましい。
また、本発明の他の側面に係る多環芳香族化合物は、一般式(11)または一般式(12)で表される化合物であって、少なくとも一つの電子求引基を有する化合物である。
本発明の実施形態に係る色変換組成物は、光源等の発光体からの入射光を、その入射光とは異なる波長の光に変換するものであって、上述した本発明の多環芳香族化合物およびバインダー樹脂を含むことが好ましい。ここで、「入射光とは異なる波長の光に変換する」とは、入射光よりも長波長の光に変換することが好ましい。
バインダー樹脂は、連続相を形成するものであり、成型加工性、透明性、耐熱性等に優れる材料であればよい。バインダー樹脂の例としては、例えば、アクリル酸系、メタクリル酸系、ポリケイ皮酸ビニル系、環ゴム系等の反応性ビニル基を有する光硬化型レジスト材料、エポキシ樹脂、シリコーン樹脂(シリコーンゴム、シリコーンゲル等のオルガノポリシロキサン硬化物(架橋物)を含む)、ウレア樹脂、フッ素樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂、アクリル樹脂、ウレタン樹脂、メラミン樹脂、ポリビニル樹脂、ポリアミド樹脂、フェノール樹脂、ポリビニルアルコール樹脂、セルロース樹脂、脂肪族エステル樹脂、芳香族エステル樹脂、脂肪族ポリオレフィン樹脂、芳香族ポリオレフィン樹脂等の公知のものが挙げられる。また、バインダー樹脂としては、これらの共重合樹脂を用いても構わない。これらの樹脂を適宜設計することで、本発明の実施形態に係る色変換組成物および色変換シートに有用なバインダー樹脂が得られる。これらの樹脂の中でも、シート化のプロセスが容易であることから、熱可塑性樹脂がさらに好ましい。熱可塑性樹脂の中でも、透明性、耐熱性等の観点から、エポキシ樹脂、シリコーン樹脂、アクリル樹脂、エステル樹脂、オレフィン樹脂またはこれらの混合物を好適に用いることができる。また、耐久性の観点から特に好ましい熱可塑性樹脂は、アクリル樹脂、エステル樹脂、シクロオレフィン樹脂である。
本発明の実施形態に係る色変換組成物は、溶剤を含んでいてもよい。溶剤は、流動状態の樹脂の粘度を調整でき、発光物質の発光および耐久性に過度な影響を与えないものであれば、特に限定されない。このような溶媒として、例えば、トルエン、メチルエチルケトン、メチルイソブチルケトン、ヘキサン、アセトン、テルピネオール、テキサノール、メチルセルソルブ、ブチルカルビトール、ブチルカルビトールアセテート、プロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテルアセテート等が挙げられる。これらの溶剤を2種類以上混合して使用することも可能である。これらの溶剤の中で特にトルエンは、本発明の多環芳香族化合物の劣化に影響を与えず、乾燥後の残存溶媒が少ない点で好適に用いられる。
本発明の実施形態に係る色変換組成物は、上述した本発明の多環芳香族化合物およびバインダー樹脂以外に、光安定化剤、酸化防止剤、加工および熱安定化剤、紫外線吸収剤等の耐光性安定化剤、散乱粒子、シリコーン微粒子およびシランカップリング剤等、その他の成分(添加剤)を含有してもよい。
以下に、本発明の実施形態に係る色変換組成物の製造方法の一例を説明する。この製造方法では、前述した本発明の多環芳香族化合物、バインダー樹脂、溶剤等を所定量混合する。上記の成分を所定の組成になるよう混合した後、ホモジナイザー、自公転型攪拌機、3本ローラー、ボールミル、遊星式ボールミル、ビーズミル等の撹拌・混練機で均質に混合分散することで、色変換組成物が得られる。混合分散後、もしくは混合分散の過程で、真空もしくは減圧条件下で脱泡することも好ましく行われる。また、ある特定の成分を事前に混合することや、エージング等の処理をしても構わない。エバポレーターによって溶剤を除去して所望の固形分濃度にすることも可能である。
本発明の実施形態に係る色変換シートは、光源等の発光体からの入射光を、その入射光とは異なる波長の光に変換するものであって、上述した本発明の多環芳香族化合物およびバインダー樹脂を含むことが好ましい。ここで、「入射光とは異なる波長の光に変換する」とは、入射光よりも長波長の光に変換することが好ましい。
基材層(例えば図2~4に示す基材層10)としては、特に制限無く公知の金属、フィルム、ガラス、セラミック、紙等を使用することができる。中でも、色変換シートの作製のし易さや色変換シートの成形のし易さから、ガラスや樹脂フィルムが好ましく用いられる。また、フィルム状の基材層を取り扱う際に破断等の恐れがないように、強度が高いフィルムが好ましい。それらの要求特性や経済性の面で樹脂フィルムが好ましく、特に、経済性、取り扱い性の面で、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、ポリフェニレンサルファイド、ポリカーボネート、ポリプロピレンからなる群より選ばれるプラスチックフィルムが好ましい。また、色変換シートを乾燥させる場合や色変換シートを押し出し機により200℃以上の高温で圧着成形する場合は、耐熱性の面でポリイミドフィルムが好ましい。フィルムの剥離のし易さから、基材層は、予め表面が離型処理されていてもよい。
色変換層(例えば図1~4に示す色変換層11)は、上述した方法で作製した色変換組成物を、基材層やバリアフィルム等の下地上に塗布し、乾燥させることで、形成することができる。
バリアフィルム(例えば図4に示すバリアフィルム12)は、色変換層に対してガスバリア性を向上させる場合等において適宜用いられる。このバリアフィルムとしては、例えば、酸化ケイ素、酸化アルミニウム、酸化チタン、酸化タンタル、酸化亜鉛、酸化スズ、酸化インジウム、酸化イットリウム、酸化マグネシウム等の無機酸化物や、窒化ケイ素、窒化アルミニウム、窒化チタン、炭化窒化ケイ素等の無機窒化物、またはこれらの混合物、またはこれらに他の元素を添加した金属酸化物薄膜や金属窒化物薄膜、あるいはポリ塩化ビニリデン、アクリル系樹脂、シリコン系樹脂、メラミン系樹脂、ウレタン系樹脂、フッ素系樹脂、酢酸ビニルのケン化物等のポリビニルアルコール系樹脂等の各種樹脂から成る膜を挙げることができる。また、水分に対してバリア機能を有するバリアフィルムとしては、例えば、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ナイロン、ポリ塩化ビニリデン、塩化ビニリデンと塩化ビニルとの共重合物、塩化ビニリデンとアクリロニトリルとの共重合物、フッ素系樹脂、酢酸ビニルのケン化物等のポリビニルアルコール系樹脂等の各種樹脂から成る膜を挙げることができる。
本発明の実施形態に係る色変換シートは、二重輝度向上フィルム(DBEF)、拡散シート、プリズムシート、波長選択反射フィルム等をさらに備えていてもよい。波長選択反射フィルムの好適な具体例としては、例えば、国際公開第2017/164155号、特開2018-81250号公報に記載されているものが挙げられる。
本発明の実施形態に係る光源ユニットは、少なくとも光源および上述の色変換シートを備える構成である。本発明の実施形態に係る光源ユニットに含まれる光源は、上述の励起光の発生源となるものである。光源と色変換シートとの配置方法については特に限定されず、光源と色変換シートとを密着させた構成を取ってもよいし、光源と色変換シートとを離したリモートフォスファー形式を取ってもよい。また、光源ユニットは、色純度を高める目的で、さらにカラーフィルターを備える構成を取ってもよい。
光源からの励起光の種類は、本発明の多環芳香族化合物等の混合する発光物質が吸収可能な波長領域に発光を示すものであれば、いずれの励起光でも用いることができる。例えば、熱陰極管や冷陰極管、無機エレクトロルミネッセンス(EL)等の蛍光性光源、有機EL素子光源、LED光源、白熱光源、あるいは太陽光等、いずれの励起光でも原理的には利用可能である。特に、LED光源からの光が好適な励起光である。
本発明の実施形態に係るディスプレイは、少なくとも、上述した色変換シートを備える。例えば、液晶ディスプレイ等のディスプレイには、バックライトユニットとして、上述した光源および色変換シート等を有する光源ユニットが用いられる。また、本発明の実施形態に係る照明装置は、少なくとも、上述した色変換シートを備える。例えば、この照明装置は、光源ユニットとしての青色LED光源と、この青色LED光源からの青色光をこれよりも長波長の光に変換する色変換シートとを組み合わせて、白色光を発光するように構成される。
本発明の実施形態において、発光素子は、陽極および陰極と、これら陽極と陰極との間に介在する有機層と、を備える。この発光素子の有機層は、電気エネルギーによって発光する。本発明の多環芳香族化合物は、この発光素子において、いずれの層に用いられてもよいが、高い蛍光量子収率を有しているため、この発光素子の発光層に用いることが好ましい。特に、当該多環芳香族化合物は、優れた蛍光量子収率を有していることから、上記発光層のドーパント材料として用いることが好ましい。
化合物の蛍光スペクトルの測定では、F-2500形分光蛍光光度計(日立製作所社製)を用い、化合物をトルエンに1×10-5mol/Lの濃度で溶解させ、波長460nmで励起させた際の蛍光スペクトルを測定した。
