Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は電界発光素子に関し、特に、ホール輸送層に耐久性に富む新規な有機材料を用いた有機電界発光素子に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
電界発光素子はその発光励起機構の違いから、(1)発光層内での電子や正孔の局所的な移動により発光体を励起し、交流電界でのみ発光する真性電界発光素子と、(2)電極からの電子と正孔の注入とその発光層内での再結合により発光体を励起し、直流電界で作動するキャリア注入型電界発光素子の二つに分けられる。(1)の真性電界発光型の発光素子は一般にZnSにMn、Cu等を添加した無機化合物を発光体とするものであるが、駆動に200V以上の高い交流電圧を必要とすること、製造コストが高いこと、輝度や耐久性も不十分である等の多くの問題点を有する。
【0003】
(2)のキャリア注入型電界発光素子は発光層として薄膜状有機化合物を用いるようになってから高輝度のものが得られるようになった。たとえば、特開昭59−194393、米国特許4,539,507、特開昭63−2956695、米国特許4,720,432及び特開昭63−264692には、陽極、有機質ホール注入輸送体、有機質電子注入性発光体および陰極から成る電界発光素子が開示されている。
【0004】
これらの有機電界発光素子においては、100mA/cmの電流密度において1000cd/m以上の発光輝度を有し、初期的には十分な発光特性を有している。そして、ホール輸送層材料としては、これまで1,1−Bis(4−di−tolylaminophenyl)−cyclohexaneやN,N,N’,N’−Tetra−p−tolyl−4,4’−diaminobiphenyl等のトリフェニルアミン系材料が用いられてきた。しかしながら、これらの従来のホール輸送材料を用いた場合、数時間内に光出力の低下、駆動電圧の上昇が観測され、電界発光素子の耐久性に問題がある。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記従来技術の実状に鑑みてなされたものであり、耐久性に優れた有機電界発光素子を提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するため、ホール輸送層の構成要素について鋭意検討した結果、ホール注入電極と電子注入電極の間に、有機ホール輸送層と有機発光層とがホール注入電極側から順に形成された有機2層構造、或いは有機ホール輸送層と有機発光層と有機電子輸送層とがホール注入電極側から順に形成された有機3層構造を有する電界発光素子において、前記有機ホール輸送層が、特定なトリアミン化合物を構成成分とする層である電界発光素子が上記課題に対して有効であることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
【0007】
すなわち、本発明によれば、ホール注入電極と電子注入電極の間に、有機ホール輸送層と有機発光層とがホール注入電極側から順に形成された有機2層構造、或いは有機ホール輸送層と有機発光層と有機電子輸送層とがホール注入電極側から順に形成された有機3層構造を有する電界発光素子において、前記有機ホール輸送層は、下記一般式化1で表されるトリアミン化合物を構造成分とする層であることを特徴とする有機電界発光素子が提供される。

【0018】
本発明の電界発光素子は発光層に電気的にバイアスを付与し発光させるものであるが、わずかなピンホールによって短絡をおこし素子として機能しなくなる場合もあるので、発光層の形成には皮膜形成性に優れた化合物を併用することが望ましい。更にこのような皮膜形成性に優れた化合物とたとえばポリマー結合剤を組み合わせて発光層を形成することもできる。この場合に使用できるポリマー結合剤としては、ポリスチレン、ポリビニルトルエン、ポリ−N−ビニルカルバゾール、ポリメチルメタクリレート、ポリメチルアクリレート、ポリエステル、ポリカーボネート、ポリアミド等を挙げることができる。また、電極からの電荷注入効率を向上させるために、電荷注入輸送層を電極との間に別に設けることも可能である。

【0020】
一方、電子注入電極(陰極)材料としては、仕事関数の小さな銀、錫、鉛、マグネシウム、マンガン、アルミニウム、或いはこれらの合金が用いられる。ホール注入電極(陽極)及び電子注入電極(陰極)として用いる材料のうち少なくとも一方は、素子の発光波長領域において十分透明であることが望ましい。具体的には80%以上の光透過率を有することが望ましい。
【0021】
本発明においては、透明なホール注入電極(陽極)を透明基板上に形成し、図1〜図3の様な構成とすることが好ましいが、場合によってはその逆の構成をとっても良い。また透明基板としてはガラス、プラスチックフィルム等が使用できる。

Further, the light emitting layer can be formed by combining such a compound having excellent film-forming properties with, for example, a polymer binder. Examples of the polymer binder that can be used in this case include polystyrene, polyvinyl toluene, poly-N-vinyl carbazole, polymethyl methacrylate, polymethyl acrylate, polyester, polycarbonate, and polyamide. In order to improve the efficiency of charge injection from the electrode, a charge injection transport layer may be separately provided between the electrode and the electrode.
[0019]
Examples of the material for the hole injection electrode (anode) include nickel, gold, platinum, palladium, alloys thereof, and metals having a large work function such as tin oxide (SnO 2 ), indium tin oxide (ITO), and copper iodide, and alloys thereof. Compounds, and conductive polymers such as poly (3-methylthiophene) and polypyrrole can be used.
[0020]
On the other hand, silver, tin, lead, magnesium, manganese, aluminum, or an alloy thereof having a small work function is used as an electron injection electrode (cathode) material. It is desirable that at least one of the materials used as the hole injection electrode (anode) and the electron injection electrode (cathode) is sufficiently transparent in the emission wavelength region of the device. Specifically, it is desirable to have a light transmittance of 80% or more.
[0021]
In the present invention, it is preferable that a transparent hole injection electrode (anode) is formed on a transparent substrate and has a configuration as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, but the configuration may be reversed in some cases. Further, glass, plastic film and the like can be used as the transparent substrate.
[0022]
In the present invention, in order to improve the stability of the electroluminescent device obtained in this way, particularly to protect against atmospheric moisture, a separate protective layer is provided, or the entire device is placed in a cell, Oil or the like may be sealed.

【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically based on examples.
Example 1
An ITO (indium tin oxide: sheet resistance: 20Ω / □) substrate was sequentially ultrasonically cleaned with a neutral detergent, acetone, and isopropyl alcohol. Then, the ITO substrate was immersed in boiled isopropyl alcohol for 5 minutes and dried.
Compound No. as a hole transport material. It was formed by depositing a hole transport layer of 500Å by heating an alumina crucible under a vacuum of 10- 6 torr with a compound of 21. Next, a light emitting layer material represented by the following chemical formula 2 was deposited at 500 °. Further, a MgAg electrode having an atomic ratio of 10: 1 was vapor-deposited at 2000 ° on the light emitting layer.
This electroluminescent device initially showed an emission luminance of 740 cd / m 2 at a current density of 30 mA / cm 2 . Thereafter, high luminance of 400 cd / m 2 was maintained after elapse of 100 hours and 400 cd / m 2 even after elapse of 500 hours. The change in the light emission luminance and the change over time in the driving voltage under a constant current of 30 mA / cm 2 are shown below.

Comparative Example 1
An electroluminescent device was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that triphenyldiamine represented by the following formula 3 was used for the hole transport layer. This device initially showed an emission luminance of 750 cd / m 2 at a current density of 20 mA / cm 2 , but showed an emission luminance of only 40 cd / m 2 after only 10 hours. The results are shown below.
