LIGHT-EMITTING MATERIAL FOR ORGANO-ELECTROLUMINESCENCE DEVICE AND FOR ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENCE DEVICE WHICH THE MATERIAL IS APPLIED

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a light-emitting material for an organo-electroluminescence (“EL” hereinafter) device for use as a flat light source or display, and to a light-emitting device having a high brightness.

PRIOR ART

[0002] An EL device using an organic substance is expected to have a great promise as a solid light-emitting inexpensive large-screen, full-color display device, and developments thereof are being made in many ways. Generally, an EL device is composed of a light-emitting layer and a pair of facing electrodes sandwiching the light-emitting layer. The light emission of an EL device is the following phenomenon. When an electric field is applied between the two electrodes, the cathode injects electrons into the light-emitting layer, and the anode injects holes into the light-emitting layer. When the electrons recombine with the holes in the light-emitting layer, their energy level shifts back to a valence bond band to release energy as light.

[0003] As compared with inorganic EL devices, conventional organic EL devices require high voltage, and their light emission brightness and light emission efficiency are low. Further, conventional organic EL devices deteriorate in properties to a great extent, and no organic EL device has been put to practical use.

[0004] There has been recently proposed an organic EL device which is produced by laminating a thin film containing an organic compound having a fluorescent quantum effect of emitting light at a low voltage as low as less than 10 V, and it attracts attention (Appl. Phy. Lett., Vol. 51, page 913, 1987). The above organic EL device has a light-emitting layer containing a metal chelate complex and a hole-injecting layer containing an amine-based compound, and emits green light having a high brightness. The above organic EL device achieves nearly practically usable performance, since it accomplishes a brightness of 1,000 cd/m2 and a maximum light emission efficiency of 1.5 lm/W at a direct current voltage of 6 or 7V.

[0005] However, conventional organic EL devices including the above organic EL device are not yet satisfactory in brightness although these organic EL devices are improved in brightness to some extent. Further, they have a serious problem that their stability is insufficient in their continuous operation for a long period of time. That is because, for example, a metal chelate complex such as a tris(8-hydroxyquinolinate)-aluminum complex, or the like, is chemically unstable when an electric field is applied for light emission, is poor in adhesion to a cathode and extremely deteriorates in a short period of emission. For the above reasons, it is desired to develop a light-emitting material having an excellent light emission capacity and durability for developing an organic EL device which has a high light emission brightness and a high light emission efficiency and can perform a light emission in its continuous operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide an organic EL device having a high light emission brightness and having excellent stability in the continuous operation.

[0007] The present inventors have made diligent studies for achieving the above object, and have found that an organic EL device having a light-emitting layer for which the material of any one of the formulae [1], [4] and [5] is adapted has a high light emission brightness and a high light emission efficiency and has excellent stability in the continuous operation. On the basis of the above finding, the present invention has been completed.

[0024] The compounds of the present invention have a high glass transition point and a high melting point due to their bulky groups having a large molecular weight. Further, compounds in which adjacent groups of R1 to R20 together form an aromatic ring have a further increased glass transition point and a further increased melting point. Therefore, the compounds of the present invention have improved durability (heat resistance) against Joule's heat which is generated in an organic layer, between organic layers or between an organic layer and a metal electrode when electric field light emission is effected. When used as a light-emitting material in an organic EL device, the compounds of the present invention exhibit a high light emission brightness and is advantageous for continuous light emission for a long period of time.

[0025] In general, the compound of the formula [1], [4] or [5] in the present invention can be synthesized by the following method. A dihalide of a divalent residue corresponding to A in the general formula [1], [4] or [5], a secondary amine derivative having a structure in which a bond between a nitrogen atom and A in the general formula [1], [4] or [5] is replaced with hydrogen, potassium carbonate and a catalyst are allowed to react in a solvent, to form a compound of the formula [1], [4] or [5]. Some compounds can be synthesized by using a dicarbonyl compound having the structure of A in place of the dihalide having the structure of A. The above potassium carbonate may be replaced with sodium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or aqueous ammonia. The catalyst can be selected from powdered copper, cuprous chloride, stannous chloride, pyridine, aluminum trichloride or titanium tetrachloride. The solvent is selected from benzene, toluene or xylene. The above synthesis method is one exmaple, and the method of synthesizing the compounds of the present invention shall not be limited thereto.

[0027] The light-emitting material of the present invention (compounds of the present invention) is a compound having intense fluorescence in a solid state, and is excellent in electric-field-applied light emission characteristic. Further, the light-emitting material of the present invention is excellent in the characteristic of injection of holes from a metal electrode and the property of transportation of holes, and it is also excellent in the characteristics of injection of electrons from a metal electrode and the property of transportation of electrons. It can be therefore effectively used as a light-emitting material, and further, it can be used in combination with other hole-transporting material, an electron-transporting material or a dopant without any problem.

[0028] An organic EL device is a device having a structure in which a mono- or multi-layered organic thin layer is formed between an anode and a cathode. In a mono-layered device, a light-emitting layer is formed between the anode and the cathode. The light-emitting layer contains a light-emitting material, and in addition thereto, it may contain a hole-injecting material for transporting holes injected from the anode to the light-emitting material, or an electron-injecting material for transporting electrons injected from the cathode to the light-emitting material. The light-emitting material of the present invention has a remarkably high light emission quantum efficiency, high capability of transporting holes and high capability of transporting electrons and can form a uniform thin film. The light-emitting layer can be therefore formed of the light-emitting material of the present invention alone. A multi-layered organic EL device has one of laminated-layer structures, for example, of (anode/hole-injecting zone/light-emitting layer/cathode), (anode/light-emitting layer/electron-injecting layer/zone) and (anode/hole-injecting zone/light-emitting layer/electron-injecting zone/cathode). The light-emitting material of the present invention (compounds of the present invention) can be used in a light-emitting layer due to its characteristic of high light emission, property of injecting holes, capability of transporting holes and property of injecting electrons and capability of transporting electrons.

[0029] In addition to the material of the present invention, the light-emitting layer may contain a known light-emitting material, a known dopant, a known hole-injecting material or a known electron-injecting material as required. In the organic EL device, a decrease in the brightness and life caused by quenching can be prevented by forming it as a multi-layered structure. The light-emitting material, a dopant, a hole-injecting material and an electron-injecting material may be used in combination as required. Further, a dopant can improve the light emission brightness and the light emission efficiency, and can attain the red or blue light emission. Further, each of the hole-injecting zone, the light-emitting layer and the electron-injecting zone may have the layer structure of at least two layers. In the hole-injecting zone in this case, a layer to which holes are injected from an electrode is called “hole-injecting layer”, and a layer which receives holes from the hole-injecting layer and transport the holes to a light-emitting layer is called “hole-transporting layer”. In the electron-injecting zone, a layer to which electrons are injected from an electrode is called “electron-injecting layer”, and a layer which receives electrons from the electron-injecting layer and transports the electrons to a light-emitting layer is called “electron-transporting layer”. These layers are selected and used depending upon factors such as the energy level and heat resistance of materials and adhesion to an organic layer or metal electrode.

[0030] The light-emitting material or the dopant which may be used in the light-emitting layer together with the light-emitting material of the present invention includes anthracene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene, tetracene, coronene, chrysene, fluorescein, perylene, phthaloperylene, naphthaloperylene, perinone, phthaoperinone, naphthaloperinone, diphenylbutadiene, tetraphenylbutadiene, coumarine, oxadiazole, aldazine, bisbenzoxazoline, bisstyryl, pyrazine, cyclopentadiene, quinoline metal complex, aminoquinoline metal complex, benzoquinoline metal complex, imine, diphenylethylene, vinyl anthracene, diaminocarbazole, pyran, thiopyran, polymethine, merocyanine, an imidazole-chelated oxynoid compound, quinacridone, rubrene, and fluorescent dyestuffs for a dyestuff laser or for brightening, although the above material shall not be limited to these.

[0031] The light-emitting material of the present invention and the above compound that can be used in a light-emitting layer may be used in any mixing ratio for forming a light-emitting layer. That is, the light-emitting material of the present invention may be a main component for forming a light-emitting layer, and it may be a doping material in other main material, depending upon a combination of the above compound with the light-emitting material of the present invention.

[0032] The hole-injecting material is selected from compounds which are capable of transporting holes, are capable of receiving holes from the anode, have an excellent effect of injecting holes to a light-emitting layer or a light-emitting material, prevent the movement of excitons generated in a light-emitting layer to an electron-injecting zone or an electron-injecting material and have the excellent capability of forming a thin film.

[0035] The electron-injecting material is a material which is capable of transporting electrons, receiving electrons from a cathode, injecting electrons into a light-emitting layer or light-emitting material, preventing excitons generated in the light-emitting layer from moving into a hole-injecting zone and forming a thin film.

Although not specially limited, specific examples of the above nitrogen-containing five-membered derivative include 2,5-bis(1-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxazole, 1,4-bis(2-(4-methyl-5-phenyloxazolyl)benzene, 2,5-bis(1-phenyl)-1,3,4-thiazole, 2,5-bis(1-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, 2-(4′-tert-butylphenyl)-5-(4″-biphenyl)1,3,4-oxadiazole, 2,5-bis(1-naphthyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,4-bis[2-(5-phenyloxadiazolyl)]benzene, 1,4-bis[2-(5-phenyloxadiazolyl)-4-tert-butylbenzene], 2-(4′-tert-butylphenyl)-5-(4″-biphenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole, 2,5-bis(1-naphthyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole, 1,4-bis[2-(5-phenylthiazolyl)]benzene, 2-(41-tert-butylphenyl)-5-(4″-biphenyl)-1,3,4-triazole, 2,5-bis(1-naphthyl)-1,3,4-triazole and 1,4-bis[2-(5-phenyltriazolyl)]benzene.

[0037] In the organic EL device of the present invention, the light-emitting layer may contain, in addition to the light-emitting material of the present invention, at least one of other light-emitting material, other dopant, other hole-injecting material and other electron-injecting material. For improving the organic EL device of the present invention in the stability against temperature, humidity and ambient atmosphere, a protective layer may be formed on the surface of the device, or the device as a whole may be sealed with a silicone oil, or the like.

[0038] The electrically conductive material used for the anode of the organic EL device is suitably selected from those materials having a work function of greater than 4 eV. The electrically conductive material includes carbon, aluminum, vanadium, iron, cobalt, nickel, tungsten, silver, gold, platinum, palladium, alloys of these, metal oxides such as tin oxide and indium oxide used for ITO substrates or NESA substrates, and organic electroconducting polymers such as polythiophene and polypyrrole.

[0039] The electrically conductive material used for the cathode is suitably selected from those having a work function of smaller than 4 eV. The electrically conductive material includes magnesium, calcium, tin, lead, titanium, yttrium, lithium, ruthenium, manganese, aluminum and alloys of these, while the electrically condutive material shall not be limited to these. Examples of the alloys include magnesium/silver, magnesium/indium and lithium/aluminum, while the alloys shall not be limited to these. Each of the anode and the cathode may have a layer structure formed of two layers or more as required.

[0040] For the effective light emission of the organic EL device, at least one of the electrodes is desirably sufficiently transparent in the light emission wavelength region of the device. Further, the substrate is desirably transparent as well. The transparent electrode is produced from the above electrically conductive material by a deposition method or a sputtering method such that a predetermined light transmittance is secured. The electrode on the light emission surface side preferably has a light transmittance of at least 10%. The substrate is not specially limited so long as it has adequate mechanical and thermal strength and has transparency. For example, it is selected from glass substrates and substrates of transparent resins such as a polyethylene substrate, a polyethylene terephthalate substrate, a polyether sulfone substrate and a polypropylene substrate.

[0041] In the organic EL device of the present invention, each layer can be formed by any one of dry film forming methods such as a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, a plasma method and an ion plating method and wet film forming methods such as a spin coating method, a dipping method and a flow coating method. The thickness of each layer is not specially limited, while each layer is required to have a proper thickness. When the layer thickness is too large, inefficiently, a high voltage is required to achieve predetermined emission of light. When the layer thickness is too small, the layer is liable to have a pinhole, etc., so that sufficient light emission brightness is hard to obtain when an electric field is applied. Generally, the thickness of each layer is preferably in the range of from 5 nm to 10 μm, more preferably 10 nm to 0.2 μm.

[0042] In the wet film forming method, a material for forming an intended layer is dissolved or dispersed in a proper solvent such as ethanol, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, and a thin film is formed from the solution or dispersion. The solvent shall not be limited to the above solvents. For improving the film formability and preventing the occurrence of pinholes in any layer, the above solution or dispersion for forming the layer may contain a proper resin and a proper additive. The resin that can be used includes insulating resins such as polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyarylate, polyester, polyamide, polyurethane, polysulfone, polymethyl methacrylate, polymethyl acrylate and cellulose, copolymers of these, photoconductive resins such as poly-N-vinylcarbozole and polysilane, and electroconducting polymers such as polythiophene and polypyrrole. The above additive includes an antioxidant, an ultraviolet absorbent and a plasticizer.

[0043] When the light-emitting material of the present invention is used in a light-emitting layer of an organic EL device, an organic EL device can be improved in organic EL device characteristics such as light emission efficiency and maximum light emission brightness. Further, the organic EL device of the present invention is remarkably stable against heat and electric current and gives a practically usable light emission brightness at a low actuation voltage. The deterioration which is a big problem of conventional devices can be remarkably decreased.

[0044] The organic EL device of the present invention has significant industrial values since it can be adapted for a flat panel display of an on-wall television set, a flat light-emitting device, a light source for a copying machine or a printer, a light source for a liquid crystal display or counter, a display signboard and a signal light.

[0045] The material of the present invention can be used in the fields of an organic EL device, an electrophotographic photoreceptor, a photoelectric converter, a solar cell, an image sensor, and the like.

[0060] Light emission brightness=value at a direct current of 5 V

[0061] The organic EL devices obtained in Examples of the present invention showed a light emission brightness of at least 5,000 (cd/M2) and achieved a high light emission efficiency. When the organic EL devices obtained in the above Examples were allowed to continuously emit light at 3 (mA/cm2), all the organic EL devices stably emitted light for more than 1,000 hours, and almost no dark spots were observed. Since the light-emitting materials of the present invention had a very high fluorescence quantum efficiency, the organic EL devices using the light-emitting materials achieved light emission with a high brightness in a low electric current applied region, and when the light-emitting layer used a doping material in addition to the compound of the formula [1], [4] or [5], the organic EL devices were improved in maximum light emission brightness and maximum light emission efficiency. Further, by adding a doping material having a different fluorescent color to the light-emitting material of the present invention, there were obtained light-emitting devices having a different light emission color.

[0062] The organic EL device of the present invention accomplishes improvements in light emission efficiency and light emission brightness and a longer device life, and does not impose any limitations on a light-emitting material, a dopant, a hole-injecting material, an electron-injecting material, a sensitizer, a resin and an electrode material used in combination and the method of producing the device.

[0063] The organic EL device using the material of the present invention as a light-emitting material achieves light emission having a high brightness with a high light emission efficiency and a longer life as compared with conventional devices. According to the light-emitting material of the present invention and the organic EL device of the present invention, there can be achieved an organic EL device having a high brightness, a high liight emission efficiency and a long life.
