Description

有機電致發光元件用組成物、有機電致發光元件、顯示裝置及照明裝置 Composition for organic electroluminescence element, organic electroluminescence element, display device and lighting device

本發明係關於一種有機電致發光元件用組成物,且係關於一種用以提供效率較高之有機電致發光元件之有機電致發光元件用組成物、使用該組成物製造之有機電致發光元件、及含有該有機電致發光元件之顯示裝置及照明裝置。 The present invention relates to a composition for an organic electroluminescence element, and relates to a composition for an organic electroluminescence element for providing an organic electroluminescence element with high efficiency, and an organic electroluminescence manufactured using the composition Element, and display device and lighting device containing the organic electroluminescence element.

近年來,有機電致發光照明(有機EL照明)或有機電致發光顯示器(有機EL顯示器)等利用有機電致發光元件(以下,有時亦稱為「有機EL元件」)之各種電子器件(device)不斷實用化。由於有機EL面板之外加電壓較低而消耗電力較小,為面發光,且亦可三原色發光,因此業界積極研究其於照明或顯示器中之應用。進而,尋求製造成本之降低、或使用大面積之有機EL面板之電子器件之實用化。 In recent years, various types of electronic devices (such as organic electroluminescence) or organic electroluminescence displays (organic EL displays) that use organic electroluminescence elements (hereinafter, sometimes also referred to as "organic EL elements") ( device) continues to be put into practical use. Since the organic EL panel has a lower applied voltage and consumes less power, it is surface-emitting, and it can also emit light in three primary colors. Therefore, the industry actively studies its application in lighting or displays. Furthermore, reduction of manufacturing cost and practical use of electronic devices using a large-area organic EL panel have been sought.

另一方面,針對其實用化,尋求進一步之長壽化、高效率化。有機電致發光元件係藉由自陽極及陰極注入之電荷於發光層上進行再結合,產生激子而發光。因此,作為提高效率之手段,有效的是將所注入之電荷封入發光層內。作為代表性之手法,有防止所產生之激子擴散之方法,可列舉於發光層之陰極側鄰接層設置 防激子擴散層(專利文獻1)。 On the other hand, for its practical use, it is seeking further longevity and high efficiency. Organic electroluminescence elements recombine on the light-emitting layer by the charges injected from the anode and cathode to generate excitons and emit light. Therefore, as a means to improve efficiency, it is effective to encapsulate the injected charges in the light emitting layer. As a representative method, there is a method for preventing the generated exciton from diffusing, and it can be provided on the cathode side adjacent layer of the light emitting layer. Anti-excitation diffusion layer (Patent Document 1).

作為用以於發光層內部實現高效率化而將電荷封入發光層內之手法,考慮到將具有電荷捕捉性之材料用於發光層之手段。作為實現其之一手段,考慮藉由雜原子所具有之孤電子對捕捉電荷而將其封入發光層內之方法。作為含有具孤電子對之雜原子的化合物,例如可列舉具有酚性羥基之化合物。該具有酚性羥基之化合物習知用作抗氧化劑(專利文獻2、專利文獻3)。 As a method for achieving high efficiency inside the light-emitting layer and encapsulating charges in the light-emitting layer, a method of using a material having charge trapping properties for the light-emitting layer is considered. As one of the means to achieve this, a method of encapsulating a heteroatom with a lone electron pair to capture a charge and encapsulating the charge in a light emitting layer is considered. Examples of the compound containing a hetero atom having a lone electron pair include a compound having a phenolic hydroxyl group. This compound having a phenolic hydroxyl group is conventionally used as an antioxidant (Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3).

又,於專利文獻4中,記載有:若酚系抗氧化劑殘留,則外部量子效率等有機EL元件性能下降,因此使用不會殘留之抗氧化劑。於專利文獻5中,記載有:作為具有酚性羥基之化合物之穩定劑因使元件性能大幅度劣化而去除。 Further, Patent Document 4 describes that if a phenol-based antioxidant remains, the performance of an organic EL device such as external quantum efficiency is reduced, and therefore an antioxidant that does not remain is used. Patent Document 5 describes that a stabilizer, which is a compound having a phenolic hydroxyl group, is removed due to a significant deterioration in device performance.

然而,如專利文獻2、3中所記載,於使具有酚性羥基之化合物與含有磷光發光材料之發光層之材料共存之情形時,考慮到引起特性惡化之可能性。因此,亦如專利文獻4、5中所記載, 為了避免具有酚性羥基之化合物對含有磷光發光材料之發光材料的不良影響,去除該具有酚性羥基之化合物成為前提。 However, as described in Patent Documents 2 and 3, when a compound having a phenolic hydroxyl group and a material of a light-emitting layer containing a phosphorescent light-emitting material coexist, a possibility of causing deterioration in characteristics is considered. Therefore, as described in Patent Documents 4 and 5, In order to avoid the adverse effect of a compound having a phenolic hydroxyl group on a light-emitting material containing a phosphorescent light-emitting material, it is a prerequisite to remove the compound having a phenolic hydroxyl group.

即,對於業者而言,認為較佳為將此種帶來不良影響之化合物去除而使之不殘留。根據上述技術背景,並未實施積極地使用具有酚性羥基之化合物,進而將電荷封入發光層內等手段。 That is, it is considered that it is preferable for the industry to remove such a compound having an adverse effect so that it does not remain. According to the above-mentioned technical background, no means such as actively using a compound having a phenolic hydroxyl group, and further sealing a charge in a light-emitting layer has been implemented.

因此,本發明之課題在於提供一種用於效率較高之有機電致發光元件之組成物。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a composition for an organic electroluminescent device having high efficiency.

本發明者等人鑒於上述課題進行銳意研究,結果驚人地發現:使用如下組成物製作之有機電致發光元件可獲得不損害電流效率,反而使電流效率提高,進而長壽化之效果,從而完成本發明,其中該組成物至少含有:特定之酚性化合物,其係具有酚性羥基,且將酚性羥基設為1位時,於2、4、6位中,僅於任意二者具有取代基之酚性化合物;磷光發光材料;及電荷輸送性化合物。 The present inventors conducted intensive research in view of the above-mentioned problems, and surprisingly found that the organic electroluminescent element produced by using the following composition can achieve the effect of not impairing the current efficiency, but improving the current efficiency, and further prolonging the life, thereby completing the present invention. The invention, wherein the composition contains at least: a specific phenolic compound having a phenolic hydroxyl group, and when the phenolic hydroxyl group is set to the 1st position, it has substituents only at any of the 2, 4, and 6 positions Phenolic compounds; phosphorescent materials; and charge transporting compounds.

再者,本發明之作用機制係推斷如下。注入至發光層之電荷係藉由於發光層所含之電荷輸送性化合物上進行跳躍傳導而輸送。推斷出由於羥基具有孤電子對,且電子密度較高,因此引起跳躍電洞之輸送抑制而將電洞封入發光層內之效果得以提高。 The mechanism of action of the present invention is inferred as follows. The charge injected into the light-emitting layer is transferred by performing jump conduction on the charge-transporting compound contained in the light-emitting layer. It is inferred that because the hydroxyl group has a lone electron pair and the electron density is high, the effect of enclosing the hole in the light emitting layer due to the inhibition of the transport of the jumping hole is improved.

然而,認為於鄰位之兩者均不存在取代基之情形時,羥基成為未受保護之狀態,對周邊之電荷輸送性化合物或發光材料帶來不良影響。即,就羥基而言,認為鄰位、對位對酚性羥基之影響較大,因此藉由將酚性羥基設為1位時於2、4、6位中僅於任意二者具有取代基,而發揮本發明之效果。 However, when there are no substituents in both ortho positions, it is considered that the hydroxyl group is in an unprotected state, which adversely affects the surrounding charge-transporting compound or the light-emitting material. That is to say, as for the hydroxyl group, the ortho and para positions are considered to have a great influence on the phenolic hydroxyl group. Therefore, when the phenolic hydroxyl group is set to the 1st position, only two of them are substituted at any of the 2, 4, and 6 positions. , And exert the effect of the present invention.

<酚性化合物> <Phenolic compound>

本發明中之酚性化合物只要為具有酚性羥基,且將酚性羥基設為1位時,於2、4、6位中,僅於任意二者具有取代基者,則並無特別限制,3位及/或5位可未經取代亦可具有取代基。 The phenolic compound in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has a phenolic hydroxyl group, and when the phenolic hydroxyl group is at the 1-position, and only any of them has a substituent at the 2, 4, and 6, The 3- and / or 5-position may be unsubstituted or may have a substituent.

該化合物較佳為具有孤電子對,且不具有電荷輸送性之化合物。更佳為將酚性羥基設為1位時,僅於2、4、6位中之任意二者具有取代基,且3位及5位未經取代之酚性化合物。 The compound is preferably a compound having a lone electron pair and having no charge transportability. More preferably, when the phenolic hydroxyl group is set to the 1-position, the phenolic compound has a substituent only at any of the 2, 4, and 6 positions, and the 3- and 5-positions are unsubstituted phenolic compounds.

取代基無特別限制,只要於本化合物中存在1個以上之酚構造即可,於存在2個以上之酚構造之情形時,只要於任一構造中含有本發明所規定之構造即可。較佳為於酚性化合物中僅存在1個酚構造。 The substituent is not particularly limited, as long as one or more phenol structures are present in the present compound, and when two or more phenol structures are present, any structure may be included in the structure specified in the present invention. It is preferable that only one phenol structure is present in the phenolic compound.

該取代基之中,較佳為烷基、烷氧基、使用芳基之芳氧基、芳烷基。具體而言,更佳為選自碳數1~12之烷基、碳數1~12之烷氧基、使用碳數6~18之芳基之芳氧基、碳數1~24之芳烷基之基。 Among the substituents, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group using an aryl group, or an aralkyl group is preferred. Specifically, it is more preferably selected from an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an aryloxy group using an aryl group having 6 to 18 carbon atoms, and an aralkyl group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms. Base of base.

該等之中,較佳為烷基或烷氧基,更佳為碳數1~12之烷基或碳數1~12之烷氧基,尤佳為碳數1~12之烷基。 Among these, an alkyl group or an alkoxy group is preferred, an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms or an alkoxy group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms is more preferred, and an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms is particularly preferred.

認為將酚性羥基設為1位時,於2、4、6位中,僅於任意二者具有擬π共軛效應,且具有減弱孤電子對之效應、即孤電子對穩定化之效應之能力。若孤電子對穩定化,則來自酚性羥基之質子容易脫離,擔憂因脫離之質子而引起之不良影響,藉由減弱孤電子對之穩定化效應,質子不易脫離,從而較佳。 It is considered that when the phenolic hydroxyl group is set to the 1 position, it has the pseudo-π conjugation effect only at any of the 2, 4 and 6 positions, and has the effect of weakening the lone electron pair, that is, the effect of the lone electron pair stabilization ability. If the lone electron pair is stabilized, protons derived from the phenolic hydroxyl group are easily detached, and an adverse effect caused by the detached protons is concerned. By weakening the stabilization effect of the lone electron pair, the protons are not easily detached, which is preferable.

藉由於該等位置具有取代基,酚性化合物之穩定性得以提高。進而,認為於取代基為如烷基或烷氧基般之電子供應性基之情形時,氧原子之孤電子對之電子密度增大,從而提高將電洞封入發光層內之效果。 By having a substituent at these positions, the stability of the phenolic compound is improved. Furthermore, when the substituent is an electron-donating group such as an alkyl group or an alkoxy group, it is considered that the electron density of a lone electron pair of an oxygen atom increases, thereby increasing the effect of encapsulating a hole in a light-emitting layer.

酚構造係藉由共振效應,使負電荷非定域化於氧原子上及將酚性羥基設為1位時之2、4、6位。由於負電荷定域化之位置反應性較高,因此通常常用之作為抗氧化劑之二丁基羥基甲苯(BHT,Butylated Hydroxy Toluene)藉由2、4、6位所具有之烷基亦會提高酚性化合物本身之穩定性。 The phenol structure is a system in which a negative charge is delocalized to an oxygen atom through resonance effects, and the phenolic hydroxyl group is set to the 2, 4, and 6 positions. Due to the high reactivity of the negative charge localization, dibutyl hydroxytoluene (BHT), which is commonly used as an antioxidant, will also increase the phenol by the alkyl groups at the 2, 4, and 6 positions. The stability of the sex compound itself.

然而,本發明者等人驚人地發現:於用於含有磷光發光材料及電荷輸送性化合物之有機電致發光元件之發光層的酚性化合物之情形時,藉由使用於將酚性羥基設為1位時之2、4、6位中,僅於任意二者具有取代基,且未於被認為負電荷密度較高而富有反應性之位置之一具有取代基之化合物,有機電致發光元件之效率得以提高,驅動穩定性得以提高。 However, the present inventors have surprisingly discovered that in the case of a phenolic compound used in a light-emitting layer of an organic electroluminescence element containing a phosphorescent light-emitting material and a charge-transporting compound, the phenolic hydroxyl group is used by A compound having a substituent in any of positions 2, 4, and 6 at the 1-position, and having no substituent in one of the positions considered to have a high negative charge density and being reactive, an organic electroluminescent device The efficiency is improved and the driving stability is improved.

其原因可考慮為,藉由除氧原子以外存在一個負電荷密度較高之位置,將電洞封入發光層內之效果得以提高。因此,將酚性羥基設為1位時之2、4、6位之取代基之數量需為2個而非3個。 The reason for this is considered to be that the existence of a position with a high negative charge density other than the oxygen atom improves the effect of sealing the holes in the light-emitting layer. Therefore, when the phenolic hydroxyl group is set to the 1 position, the number of the substituents at the 2, 4, and 6 positions needs to be 2 instead of 3.

進而較佳為酚性化合物僅於將酚性羥基設為1位時之2、4、6位中之任意二者具有取代基。其原因可考慮為,藉由僅於將酚性羥基設為1位時之2、4、6位中之任意二者具有取代基,不易抑制電荷之跳躍輸送。 It is further preferred that the phenolic compound has a substituent only at any of the 2, 4, and 6 positions when the phenolic hydroxyl group is at the 1-position. The reason for this is considered to be that it is difficult to suppress the jump transfer of charge by having a substituent only at any of the 2, 4, and 6 positions when the phenolic hydroxyl group is set to the 1-position.

進而認為,於僅在將酚性羥基設為1位時之2、4、6 位中之2、6位之二者具有取代基之情形時,羥基之氧原子之孤電子對受到保護,酚性化合物變得最穩定,因此使有機電致發光元件之效率提高,並且驅動穩定性亦提高,從而特佳。 Furthermore, it is considered that only when the phenolic hydroxyl group is set to the 1, 2, 6 When two of the two and six positions have a substituent, the lone electron pair of the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group is protected, and the phenolic compound becomes the most stable. Therefore, the efficiency of the organic electroluminescent device is improved, and the driving is stable. Sex is also improved, which is particularly good.

又,認為於取代基為烷氧基之情形時,藉由僅於將酚性羥基設為1位時之2、4、6位中之任意二者具有取代基,則酚性羥基之氧原子及烷氧基之氧原子之電子密度適度增大,將電洞封入發光層內之效果提高,並且維持穩定性亦優異之狀態。 In addition, when the substituent is an alkoxy group, it is considered that the oxygen atom of the phenolic hydroxyl group has a substituent only when any two of the 2, 4, and 6 positions when the phenolic hydroxyl group is set to the 1 position. The electron density of the oxygen atom of the alkoxy group is increased moderately, the effect of sealing the hole in the light-emitting layer is improved, and the state of maintaining stability is also excellent.

又,作為具體之構造式,本發明中之酚性化合物亦可以下述式(1)表示。但是,本化合物並不限定於下述構造式。 Moreover, as a specific structural formula, the phenolic compound in this invention can also be represented by following formula (1). However, the present compound is not limited to the following structural formula.

Figure TWI609874BD00018
Figure TWI609874BD00018

其中,A為具有取代基之酚構造。n為1~5之整數。較佳為L於n=1之情形時不存在,於n=2~5之情形時為連結基。於n為2~5之情形時,A所具有之取代基可相同亦可不同。 Among them, A is a phenol structure having a substituent. n is an integer from 1 to 5. Preferably, L does not exist when n = 1, and is a linking group when n = 2-5. When n is 2 to 5, the substituents of A may be the same or different.

A於n=1之情形時,且於將酚構造之羥基設為1位之情形時,於2、4、6位中,僅於任意2個位置具有取代基,又,亦可於3位或5位具有取代基。 When A is n = 1, and when the hydroxy group of the phenol structure is set to the 1 position, the substituents are only at any 2 positions in the 2, 4, and 6 positions, and may be at the 3 position. Or it has a substituent at the 5-position.

A可具有之取代基為碳數1~12之烷基、碳數1~12之烷氧基、使用碳數6~18之芳基之芳氧基、碳數1~24之芳烷基。 A may have an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an aryloxy group having 6 to 18 carbon atoms, and an aralkyl group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms.

就化合物之穩定性之觀點而言,較佳為將酚構造之羥基設為1位之情形時之2位或6位為烷基。進而,為了避免與發光層形成用組成物中之其他材料相互作用,被取代於2位及6位之烷基較佳為作為具有立體阻礙之二級烷基(異丙基等)或三級烷基(第 三丁基等)之烷基,最佳為立體阻礙性最高之三級烷基。 From the viewpoint of the stability of the compound, when the hydroxy group of the phenol structure is set to the 1-position, the 2- or 6-position is preferably an alkyl group. Furthermore, in order to avoid interaction with other materials in the composition for forming a light-emitting layer, the alkyl group substituted at the 2-position and the 6-position is preferably a secondary alkyl group (isopropyl group, etc.) or tertiary having a steric hindrance. Alkyl (section An alkyl group such as tributyl group is preferably a tertiary alkyl group having the highest steric hindrance.

於n=2~5之情形時,A具有連結基L。L以具有sp3混成軌道之碳或氧對A進行鍵結。L可取代在2~6位之任一位置,於取代在2、4、6位之情形時,符合化合物A之取代基之規定即「於2、4、6位中,僅於任意2個位置具有取代基」。 When n = 2 to 5, A has a linking group L. L bonds A with carbon or oxygen with sp 3 mixed orbitals. L can be substituted at any of the 2 to 6 positions. When it is substituted at the 2, 4, and 6 positions, it complies with the requirements for the substituent of compound A. Has a substituent ".

即,於骨架A之2、4、6位中,僅於任意2個位置,以連結基與其以外之1種取代基進行取代。n並無特別限定,較佳為3以下,進而較佳為2以下,最佳為1。其原因可推斷為:由於發光層形成後均勻地擴展,酚性羥基濃度亦均勻地擴展,故而電荷陷阱均勻地產生,電荷再結合於膜內亦均勻地進行,藉此防止激子之濃度淬滅。 That is, in the 2, 4, and 6 positions of the skeleton A, the linking group is substituted with one substituent other than the substituent at only two arbitrary positions. n is not particularly limited, but is preferably 3 or less, more preferably 2 or less, and most preferably 1. The reason can be inferred that: since the light-emitting layer expands uniformly and the phenolic hydroxyl concentration also expands uniformly, the charge traps are generated uniformly, and the charges are recombined in the film, and the uniformity of the exciton is prevented to prevent Off.

L只要以具有sp3混成軌道之碳或氧進行鍵結,則並無特別限定。較佳為可具有碳數1~12之烷基取代基之伸烷基。於具有共軛鏈之情形時,上述烷基之碳數較佳為2~6。作為原因,係為了於與發光材料共存之情形時,排除可能成為淬滅因子之要素,即防止因共軛鏈之擴大而引起之能量轉移型淬滅。 L is not particularly limited as long as it is bonded with carbon or oxygen having a sp 3 mixed orbital. An alkylene group which may have an alkyl substituent having 1 to 12 carbon atoms is preferred. When having a conjugated chain, the carbon number of the alkyl group is preferably 2 to 6. The reason is to exclude the element that may become the quenching factor when coexisting with the luminescent material, that is, to prevent the energy transfer type quenching caused by the expansion of the conjugated chain.

作為具體之構造,可列舉2,6-第三丁基苯酚、4-甲氧基-2-第三丁基苯酚、4,4'-亞丁基雙(6-第三丁基-3-甲基苯酚)等下述中所記載之化合物。 Specific structures include 2,6-tert-butylphenol, 4-methoxy-2-tert-butylphenol, 4,4'-butylenebis (6-tert-butyl-3-methyl) Phenol) and other compounds described below.

<發光層形成用組成物> <Composition for forming light emitting layer>

本發明之組成物至少含有磷光發光材料、電荷輸送性化合物及上述酚性化合物。又,於油墨等組成物中亦可含有溶劑。本發明之組成物通常用於藉由濕式成膜法形成層或膜,尤其較佳為用於形成有機電致發光元件之發光層。即,本發明之組成物較佳為有機電致發光元件用組成物,尤佳為進而用作有機電致發光元件之發光層形成用組成物。 The composition of the present invention contains at least a phosphorescent material, a charge transporting compound, and the phenolic compound. A solvent may be contained in a composition such as ink. The composition of the present invention is generally used to form a layer or film by a wet film formation method, and is particularly preferably used to form a light-emitting layer of an organic electroluminescence element. That is, the composition of the present invention is preferably a composition for an organic electroluminescence element, and particularly preferably a composition for forming a light-emitting layer of an organic electroluminescence element.

本發明之組成物中之磷光發光材料之含量相對於電荷輸送性化合物之總量,通常為1質量%以上,較佳為5質量%以上,進而較佳為15質量%以上。又,本發明之組成物中之磷光發光材料之含量相對於電荷輸送性化合物之總量,通常為50質量%以下,較佳為40質量%以下。 The content of the phosphorescent light-emitting material in the composition of the present invention is generally 1% by mass or more, preferably 5% by mass or more, and more preferably 15% by mass or more with respect to the total amount of the charge-transporting compound. The content of the phosphorescent light-emitting material in the composition of the present invention is usually 50% by mass or less, and preferably 40% by mass or less with respect to the total amount of the charge-transporting compound.

藉由將組成物中之磷光發光材料之含量設為上述範圍,例如於使用該組成物而形成發光層之情形時,可自鄰接之層(例如電洞輸送層或電洞阻擋層)向發光層高效率地進行電洞或電子之注入,降低驅動電壓。再者,磷光發光材料於組成物中可僅包含1種,亦可組合而包含2種以上。 By setting the content of the phosphorescent light-emitting material in the composition to the above range, for example, when a light-emitting layer is formed using the composition, light can be emitted from an adjacent layer (for example, a hole transporting layer or a hole blocking layer). The layer efficiently injects holes or electrons to reduce the driving voltage. The phosphorescent light-emitting material may be contained in the composition alone or in combination of two or more.

又,發光材料之發光色並無特別限定,但較佳為長波長。具體而言,較佳為該組成物之塗佈膜之發光色(峰值波長)較綠色更長波(500nm以上),進而較佳為較黃綠色更長波(550nm以上)。 The emission color of the light-emitting material is not particularly limited, but it is preferably a long wavelength. Specifically, the emission color (peak wavelength) of the coating film of the composition is preferably longer than green (500 nm or longer), and more preferably yellower green (longer than 550 nm).

根據磷光發光層之發光原理推測出:雖發生因孤電子對而引起之三重激發態之淬滅,但長波長發光之激發態相較於短波長發光之激發態,能量更低,三重激發態自身更穩定,因此不易受到因孤電子對而引起之淬滅之影響。 According to the light-emitting principle of the phosphorescent light-emitting layer, it is inferred that although the quenching of the triplet excited state due to the lone electron pair occurs, the excited state of the long-wavelength emission is lower in energy and the triplet excited state than the excited state of the short-wavelength emission It is more stable and therefore less susceptible to quenching caused by lone electron pairs.

本發明之組成物中之酚性化合物相對於溶劑之含量相對於組成物中之電荷輸送性化合物之總量,通常為0.01質量%以上,較佳為0.1質量%以上。又,相對於組成物中之電荷輸送性化合物之總量,通常為10質量%以下,更佳為5質量%以下,進而較佳為1質量%以下。 Content of the phenolic compound with respect to a solvent in the composition of this invention with respect to the total amount of the charge transporting compound in a composition is 0.01 mass% or more normally, Preferably it is 0.1 mass% or more. The total amount of the charge-transporting compound in the composition is usually 10% by mass or less, more preferably 5% by mass or less, and even more preferably 1% by mass or less.

其原因在於:若為下限以上,則提高電荷捕捉之效率。又,其原因在於:於含有過剩之情形,使用組成物形成膜時,能夠預測到因超越2、6位之立體阻礙的孤電子對之相互作用之顯現而引起淬滅之可能性。 The reason is that if it is above the lower limit, the efficiency of charge trapping is improved. In addition, the reason is that when the composition is contained in excess, when forming a film using the composition, it is possible to predict the possibility of quenching due to the appearance of the interaction of the lone electron pair that is three-dimensionally hindered beyond the 2nd and 6th positions.

<其他成分> <Other ingredients>

其中,較佳為烷烴類或芳香族烴類,尤其是苯基環己烷於濕式成膜步驟中具有較佳之黏度與沸點。 Among them, alkanes or aromatic hydrocarbons are preferred, especially phenylcyclohexane has better viscosity and boiling point in the wet film forming step.

該等溶劑可單獨使用1種,又,亦可按照任意之組合及比率使用2種以上。 These solvents may be used individually by 1 type, and may use 2 or more types by arbitrary combinations and ratios.

溶劑之沸點通常為80℃,較佳為90℃以上,更佳為100℃以上,尤佳為110℃以上。又,溶劑之沸點通常為300℃以下,較佳為280℃以下,更佳為250℃以下。若溶劑之沸點低於上述下限,則存在於濕式成膜時,因來自組成物之溶劑蒸發而導致成膜穩定性下降之可能性。 The boiling point of the solvent is usually 80 ° C, preferably 90 ° C or higher, more preferably 100 ° C or higher, and even more preferably 110 ° C or higher. The boiling point of the solvent is usually 300 ° C or lower, preferably 280 ° C or lower, and more preferably 250 ° C or lower.

例如,發光層通常形成為3~200nm左右之厚度,於使用本發明之組成物形成此種厚度之發光層之情形時,若溶劑之含量低於上述下限,則存在組成物之黏性過高,而成膜作業性下降之可能性。另一方面,若超過上述上限,則存在因成膜後去除溶劑所獲得之膜之厚度變得無法獲取,而難以成膜之傾向。 For example, the light-emitting layer is usually formed to a thickness of about 3 to 200 nm. When the light-emitting layer of such a thickness is formed using the composition of the present invention, if the content of the solvent is lower than the above lower limit, the viscosity of the composition is too high , The possibility of film forming workability decline. On the other hand, if the above-mentioned upper limit is exceeded, the thickness of the film obtained by removing the solvent after film formation becomes unobtainable, and it tends to be difficult to form a film.

As the infrared heating, a halogen heater, a ceramic-coated halogen heater, a ceramic heater, or the like can be used.

利用紅外線之加熱由於直接將熱量供給至基板或膜,故而相較於使用烘箱或加熱板之加熱,能夠實現短時間內之乾燥。因此,可將加熱環境之氣體(水分或氧氣)之影響、或微小污物之影響抑制至最小限度,生產性提高而較佳。 The heating using infrared rays can directly supply heat to the substrate or film, so compared with the heating using an oven or a heating plate, it can achieve drying in a short time.

關於電子輸送層7之膜厚,下限通常為1nm,較佳為5nm左右,上限通常為300nm,較佳為100nm左右。電子輸送層7係與電洞注入層3同樣地藉由濕式成膜法、或真空蒸鍍法而形成,但通常使用真空蒸鍍法。 Regarding the film thickness of the electron transporting layer 7, the lower limit is usually 1 nm, preferably about 5 nm, and the upper limit is usually 300 nm, preferably about 100 nm. The electron transport layer 7 is formed by a wet film formation method or a vacuum deposition method in the same manner as the hole injection layer 3, but a vacuum deposition method is generally used.

[8]電子注入層 [8] Electron injection layer

電子注入層8發揮將自陰極9注入之電子高效率地向發光層5注入之作用。為了高效率地進行電子注入,形成電子注入層8之材料較佳為工作函數較低之金屬,可使用鈉或銫等鹼金屬、鋇或鈣等鹼土類金屬。 The electron injection layer 8 plays a role of efficiently injecting electrons injected from the cathode 9 into the light emitting layer 5. In order to perform electron injection with high efficiency, the material forming the electron injection layer 8 is preferably a metal with a lower work function, and alkali metals such as sodium or cesium, and alkaline earth metals such as barium or calcium can be used.

電子注入層8之膜厚較佳為0.1~5nm。又,於陰極9與電子輸送層7之界面***LiF、MgF2、Li2O、Cs2CO3等極薄絕緣膜(膜厚0.1~5nm左右)作為電子注入層8亦為提高元件之效率之有效方法(Appl.Phys.Lett.、70卷、152頁、1997年;日本專利特開平10-74586號公報;IEEETrans.Electron.Devices、44卷、1245頁、1997年;SID 04 Digest、154頁)。 The film thickness of the electron injection layer 8 is preferably 0.1 to 5 nm. In addition, inserting an extremely thin insulating film (film thickness of about 0.1 to 5 nm) such as LiF, MgF 2 , Li 2 O, and Cs 2 CO 3 at the interface between the cathode 9 and the electron transport layer 7 is also used to improve the efficiency of the device. Effective methods (Appl. Phys. Lett., Vol. 70, 152 pages, 1997; Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-74586; IEEE Trans.Electron. Devices, Vol. 44, pages 1245, 1997; SID 04 Digest, 154 page).

進而,藉由於4,7-二苯基-1,10-啡啉等含氮雜環化合物或8-羥基喹啉之鋁錯合物等金屬錯合物所代表之有機電子輸送材料中摻雜鈉、鉀、銫、鋰、銣等鹼金屬(於日本專利特開平10-270171號公報、日本專利特開2002-100478號公報、日本專利特開2002-100482號公報等中記載),電子注入輸送性提高,且能夠兼具優異之膜質,故而較佳。 Furthermore, the organic electron transport materials represented by nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds such as 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-morpholine and metal complexes such as aluminum complexes of 8-hydroxyquinoline are doped. Sodium, potassium, cesium, lithium, rubidium and other alkali metals (described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-270171, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-100478, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-100482, etc.), electron injection The transportability is improved, and it can also have excellent film quality, so it is preferable.

於該情形時之電子注入層8之膜厚通常為5nm以上,較佳為10nm以上。電子注入層8之膜厚通常為200nm以下,較佳為100nm以下。 The film thickness of the electron injection layer 8 in this case is usually 5 nm or more, and preferably 10 nm or more. The film thickness of the electron injection layer 8 is usually 200 nm or less, and preferably 100 nm or less.

電子注入層8係與發光層5同樣地藉由濕式成膜法、或真空蒸鍍法而形成。於真空蒸鍍法之情形時,將蒸鍍源放入至設置於真空容器內之坩堝或金屬晶舟中,藉由適當之真空泵對真空容 器內進行排氣至10-4Pa左右後,加熱坩堝或金屬晶舟使蒸鍍源蒸發,於與坩堝或金屬晶舟對向放置之基板上形成電子注入層8。 The electron injection layer 8 is formed by a wet film formation method or a vacuum deposition method in the same manner as the light emitting layer 5. In the case of the vacuum evaporation method, the evaporation source is placed in a crucible or a metal crystal boat set in a vacuum container, and the inside of the vacuum container is evacuated to about 10 -4 Pa by an appropriate vacuum pump, and then heated. The crucible or metal boat makes the evaporation source evaporate, and an electron injection layer 8 is formed on the substrate placed opposite to the crucible or metal boat.

鹼金屬之蒸鍍係使用將鉻酸鹼金屬與還原劑填充於鎳鉻合金之鹼金屬點膠機而進行。於真空容器內加熱該點膠機,藉此鉻酸鹼金屬被還原,鹼金屬蒸發。 Alkali metal vapor deposition is performed using an alkali metal dispenser in which an alkali metal chromate and a reducing agent are filled in a nickel-chromium alloy. The dispenser is heated in a vacuum container, whereby the alkali metal chromate is reduced and the alkali metal is evaporated.

於對有機電子輸送材料與鹼金屬進行共蒸鍍之情形時,將有機電子輸送材料放入設置於真空容器內之坩堝,藉由適當之真空泵對真空容器內進行排氣至10-4Pa左右後,同時加熱坩堝及點膠機之各者使有機電子輸送材料與鹼金屬蒸發,於與坩堝及點膠機對向放置之基板上形成電子注入層8。此時,於電子注入層8之膜厚方向上被均勻地共蒸鍍,但即便於膜厚方向上有濃度分佈亦無礙。 In the case of co-evaporation of an organic electron transport material and an alkali metal, the organic electron transport material is placed in a crucible set in a vacuum container, and the inside of the vacuum container is evacuated to about 10 -4 Pa by a suitable vacuum pump. Then, each of the crucible and the dispenser is heated at the same time to vaporize the organic electron transport material and the alkali metal, and an electron injection layer 8 is formed on the substrate placed opposite the crucible and the dispenser. At this time, the electron injection layer 8 is uniformly vapor-deposited in the film thickness direction, but even if there is a concentration distribution in the film thickness direction, it does not matter.

[9]陰極 [9] cathode

陰極9發揮將電子注入至發光層5側之層(電子注入層8或發光層5等)之作用。用作陰極9之材料亦可使用上述陽極2所使用之材料,但為了高效率地進行電子注入,較佳為工作函數較低之金屬。例如可使用錫、鎂、銦、鈣、鋁、銀等適當之金屬或該等之合金。作為具體例,可列舉鎂-銀合金、鎂-銦合金、鋁-鋰合金等低工作函數合金電極。 The cathode 9 functions as a layer (the electron injection layer 8 or the light emitting layer 5) that injects electrons to the light emitting layer 5 side. The material used for the cathode 9 may also be the same as that used for the anode 2. However, in order to efficiently perform electron injection, a metal having a lower work function is preferred. For example, appropriate metals such as tin, magnesium, indium, calcium, aluminum, and silver, or alloys thereof can be used. Specific examples include low-work-function alloy electrodes such as magnesium-silver alloy, magnesium-indium alloy, and aluminum-lithium alloy.

陰極9之膜厚通常與陽極2相同。以保護包含低工作函數金屬之陰極之目的而於其上進一步積層工作函數較高且對於大氣穩定之金屬層會增加元件之穩定性。為了該目的,可使用鋁、銀、銅、鎳、鉻、金、鉑等金屬。 The film thickness of the cathode 9 is generally the same as that of the anode 2. For the purpose of protecting a cathode containing a metal with a low work function, further layering a metal layer with a higher work function and stable to the atmosphere will increase the stability of the element. For this purpose, metals such as aluminum, silver, copper, nickel, chromium, gold, and platinum can be used.

[10]其他構成層 [10] Other constituent layers

以上,以圖1所示之層構成之元件為中心進行了說明,但於本發明之有機電致發光元件中之陽極2及陰極9與發光層5之間,只要不損害其性能,則除了上述說明中之層以外,還可具有任意層,又,亦可省略發光層5以外之任意層。 In the above, the description has been given focusing on the element composed of the layer shown in FIG. 1, but between the anode 2 and the cathode 9 and the light-emitting layer 5 in the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention, as long as the performance is not impaired, Any layer other than the layers described above may be used, and any layer other than the light emitting layer 5 may be omitted.

例如,亦有效的是以與電洞阻擋層6相同之目的,於電洞輸送層4與發光層5之間設置電子阻擋層。電子阻擋層具有如下作用:藉由阻止自發光層5移動而來之電子到達電洞輸送層4,而增加於發光層5內與電洞再結合之機率,將所生成之激子封入發光層5內;及將自電洞輸送層4注入之電洞高效率地向發光層5之方向輸送。 For example, it is also effective to provide an electron blocking layer between the hole transporting layer 4 and the light emitting layer 5 for the same purpose as the hole blocking layer 6. The electron blocking layer has the following function: by preventing electrons from the light-emitting layer 5 from reaching the hole transporting layer 4, the probability of recombination with the holes in the light-emitting layer 5 is increased, and the generated exciton is enclosed in the light-emitting layer 5; and the holes injected from the hole transporting layer 4 are efficiently transported toward the light emitting layer 5.

作為對電子阻擋層要求之特性,可列舉電洞輸送性較高且能隙(HOMO、LUMO之差)較大,激發三重態能階(T1)較高。又,於藉由濕式成膜法形成發光層5之情形時,為了使元件製造變得容易,較佳為電子阻擋層亦藉由濕式成膜法形成。 Examples of characteristics required for the electron blocking layer include high hole transportability, large energy gap (difference between HOMO and LUMO), and high excited triplet energy level (T1). In the case where the light-emitting layer 5 is formed by a wet film formation method, it is preferable that the electron blocking layer is also formed by a wet film formation method in order to facilitate the manufacture of the device.

因此,較佳為電子阻擋層亦具有濕式成膜適合性,作為此種電子阻擋層所使用之材料,可列舉F8-TFB所代表之二辛基茀與三苯胺之共聚合體(國際公開第2004/084260號)等。 Therefore, it is preferable that the electron blocking layer also has wet film formation suitability. As a material used for such an electron blocking layer, a copolymer of dioctylfluorene and triphenylamine represented by F8-TFB (International Publication No. 2004/084260), etc.

再者,亦可為與圖1相反之構造,即於基板1上依序積層陰極9、電子注入層8、電子輸送層7、電洞阻擋層6、發光層5、電洞輸送層4、電洞注入層3、陽極2,亦可於至少一者透明性較高之2片基板之間設置本發明之有機電致發光元件。 Furthermore, it can also have a structure opposite to FIG. 1, that is, a cathode 9, an electron injection layer 8, an electron transport layer 7, a hole blocking layer 6, a light emitting layer 5, and a hole transport layer 4 are sequentially laminated on the substrate 1. The hole injection layer 3 and the anode 2 may also include the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention between at least one of the two substrates having high transparency.

進而,亦可將圖1所示之層構成設為重疊數段而成之 構造(積層數個發光單元而成之構造)。此時,若使用例如V2O5等作為電荷產生層代替階段間(發光單元間)之界面層(於陽極為ITO、陰極為Al之情形時為該2層),則階段間之障壁變少,就發光效率、驅動電壓之觀點而言更佳。 Furthermore, the layer structure shown in FIG. 1 may be a structure in which several layers are overlapped (a structure in which a plurality of light-emitting units are stacked). At this time, if, for example, V 2 O 5 is used as a charge generating layer instead of the interface layer between the stages (inter-light emitting units) (these two layers when the anode is ITO and the cathode is Al), the barrier between the stages changes. It is less in terms of luminous efficiency and driving voltage, and is more preferable.

本發明之有機電致發光元件可應用於單一之元件、包含配置為陣列狀之構造之元件、陽極與陰極配置為X-Y矩陣狀之構造之任一者中。 The organic electroluminescence element of the present invention can be applied to any one of a single element, an element including an array structure, and an anode and cathode structure having an X-Y matrix structure.

The form or structure of the display device and the lighting device of the present invention is not particularly limited, and the organic electroluminescence element of the present invention can be assembled by a conventional method.

其次,將濕式成膜有電洞注入層3、電洞輸送層4及發光層5之基板搬入至真空蒸鍍裝置內,進行粗排氣後,使用低溫泵進行排氣直至裝置內之真空度變為3.0×10-4Pa以下。於將真空度保持為2.2×10-4Pa以下之狀態下,以蒸鍍速度0.6~1.2Å/秒,於發光層5上積層至膜厚為10nm之作為電洞阻擋材料之HB1,藉此形成電洞阻擋層6。 Next, the wet-formed substrate with the hole injection layer 3, the hole transport layer 4 and the light emitting layer 5 is carried into a vacuum evaporation device, and after rough exhaust, the exhaust is performed using a cryopump until the vacuum inside the device The degree becomes 3.0 × 10 -4 Pa or less. With the vacuum degree kept at 2.2 × 10 -4 Pa or less, the light-emitting layer 5 was laminated on the light-emitting layer 5 to HB1 as a hole blocking material at a deposition rate of 0.6 to 1.2 Å / sec. Forming an electric hole barrier layer 6.

Figure TWI609874BD00038

繼而,於將真空度保持為2.2×10-4Pa以下之狀態下,將三(8-羥基喹啉)鋁(Alq3)進行加熱,以蒸鍍速度0.7~1.3Å/秒,於電洞阻擋層6上積層至膜厚為20nm,藉此形成電子輸送層7。 此處,將進行了至電子輸送層7為止之蒸鍍元件自有機層蒸鍍用腔室向金屬蒸鍍用腔室內搬送。使2mm寬之條紋狀蔽蔭遮罩以與陽極2之ITO條紋正交之方式密接而設置於元件上,作為陰極蒸鍍用之遮罩。與有機層蒸鍍時同樣地對裝置內進行排氣直至真空度變為1.1×10-4Pa以下。 Next, while maintaining the degree of vacuum at 2.2 × 10 -4 Pa or less, the tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) was heated, and the evaporation rate was 0.7 to 1.3 Å / sec. The layer 6 is laminated to a film thickness of 20 nm, thereby forming an electron transport layer 7. Here, the vapor deposition element that has been subjected to the electron transport layer 7 is transferred from the organic layer vapor deposition chamber into the metal vapor deposition chamber. A stripe-shaped shadow mask having a width of 2 mm was tightly attached to the element so as to be orthogonal to the ITO stripe of the anode 2 and provided on the element as a mask for cathode evaporation. As in the case of the organic layer vapor deposition, the inside of the device was evacuated until the degree of vacuum became 1.1 × 10 -4 Pa or less.

其後,於將真空度保持為1.0×10-4Pa以下之狀態下,藉由使用鉬晶舟進行加熱而以蒸鍍速度0.07~0.15Å/秒於電子輸送層7上積層至膜厚為0.5nm之氟化鋰(LiF),藉此形成電子注入層8。其次,同樣地於將真空度保持為2.0×10-4Pa之狀態下,藉由使用鉬晶舟進行加熱而以蒸鍍速度0.6~10.0Å/秒將鋁蒸鍍至膜厚為80nm,藉此形成陰極9。以上之電子注入層8及陰極9於蒸鍍時之基板溫度保持為室溫。 Thereafter, while maintaining the degree of vacuum at 1.0 × 10 -4 Pa or less, the electron transport layer 7 was laminated on the electron transport layer 7 by heating using a molybdenum crystal boat at a deposition rate of 0.07 to 0.15 Å / s to a film thickness of 0.5 nm of lithium fluoride (LiF), thereby forming an electron injection layer 8. Next, similarly, while maintaining the degree of vacuum at 2.0 × 10 -4 Pa, aluminum was vapor-deposited to a film thickness of 80 nm by heating using a molybdenum crystal boat at a vapor deposition rate of 0.6 to 10.0 Å / sec. This forms the cathode 9. The substrate temperature of the above electron injection layer 8 and the cathode 9 during the evaporation is kept at room temperature.

繼而,為了防止元件於保管中因大氣中之水分等發生劣化,而藉由以下記載之方法進行密封處理。於氮氣手套箱中,將光硬化性樹脂30Y-437(三鍵化工公司製造)以1mm之寬度塗佈於23mm×23mm尺寸之玻璃板之外周部,並於中央部設置水分吸收片材(Dynic公司製造)。將陰極之形成結束之基板搬入至其上,以經蒸鍍之面與乾燥劑片材對向之方式貼合。其後,僅對塗佈有光硬化性樹脂之區域照射紫外光,使樹脂硬化。 Then, in order to prevent the components from being deteriorated due to moisture in the atmosphere during storage, the sealing process was performed by the method described below. In a nitrogen glove box, a light-curable resin 30Y-437 (manufactured by Sanjian Chemical Co., Ltd.) was coated with a width of 1 mm on the outer periphery of a glass plate having a size of 23 mm × 23 mm. Made by the company). The substrate on which the formation of the cathode was completed was carried onto it, and the vapor-deposited surface and the desiccant sheet were opposed to each other. Thereafter, only the area where the photocurable resin is applied is irradiated with ultraviolet light to harden the resin.

如以上般,獲得具有2mm×2mm尺寸之發光面積部分,且以峰值波長560nm發光之有機電致發光元件。 As described above, an organic electroluminescence element having a light emitting area portion having a size of 2 mm × 2 mm and emitting light at a peak wavelength of 560 nm was obtained.

針對實施例1~3、比較例1~4,分別對流通10mA/cm2之電流時的光強度電流效率及使用初期光強度5000cd/m2時之電流值的直流電流驅動下於50小時後之相對光強度進行測定。將以比較例1作為基準時之各變化率(相對值)及50小時後之相對光強度率之差彙總於表1。於實施例1~3中,光強度電流效率急劇上升,於在全部之鄰位及對位經烷基取代之比較例2、3中,僅限於效率稍微上升。又,可確認若使用僅於對位經烷基取代之酚性化合物,則會引起光強度電流效率之下降。 For Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, the light intensity current efficiency at a current of 10 mA / cm 2 and the current value at an initial light intensity of 5000 cd / m 2 were used to drive the DC current after 50 hours. The relative light intensity was measured. The difference between each change rate (relative value) when using Comparative Example 1 as a reference and the relative light intensity rate after 50 hours is summarized in Table 1. In Examples 1 to 3, the light intensity current efficiency sharply increased, and in Comparative Examples 2 and 3 in which all the ortho and para positions were substituted with alkyl groups, the efficiency was only slightly increased. In addition, it was confirmed that the use of a phenolic compound substituted with an alkyl group only at the para position would cause a decrease in light intensity current efficiency.

光強度電流效率之變化率(相對值):於將作為對象之實施例或比較例之電流效率設為ηE(cd/A)、將比較例1之電流效率設為ηR(cd/A)之情形時,光強度電流效率之變化率(相對值)=(ηE/ηR-1)×100(%)50小時後之相對光強度率之差:於將50小時後之光強度設為L50(cd/m2)之情形時,初期光強度為5000(cd/m2),因此50小時後之相對光強度率=L50/5000×100(%)。 Change rate (relative value) of light intensity current efficiency: The current efficiency of the target embodiment or comparative example is set to ηE (cd / A), and the current efficiency of Comparative Example 1 is set to ηR (cd / A). In this case, the change rate (relative value) of the light intensity current efficiency = (ηE / ηR-1) × 100 (%) The difference of the relative light intensity ratio after 50 hours: The light intensity after 50 hours is set to L50 ( In the case of cd / m 2 ), the initial light intensity is 5000 (cd / m 2 ), so the relative light intensity ratio after 50 hours = L50 / 5000 × 100 (%).

於將作為對象之實施例或比較例之50小時後之相對光強度率設為τE(%)、將比較例1之50小時後之相對光強度率設為τR(%)之情形時, 50小時後之相對光強度率之差=(τE-τR)(%) In a case where the relative light intensity ratio of the target example or comparative example after 50 hours is τE (%), and the relative light intensity ratio of 50 hours after Comparative Example 1 is τR (%), Difference of relative light intensity ratio after 50 hours = (τE-τR) (%)
