Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to organic electroluminescent (EL) compounds and organic electroluminescent devices using the same, more particularly to organic EL compounds containing fluorenyl group and anthracenyl group as blue electroluminescent material of an organic EL layer, and organic EL devices comprising the same.


BACKGROUND ART

Eastman Kodak firstly developed an organic EL device employing low molecular aromatic diamine and aluminum complex as a substance for forming an electroluminescent layer, in 1987 [Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, 1987].


In the meanwhile, as a blue EL material, diphenylanthracene, tetraphenylbutadiene, distyrylbenzene derivatives and the like have been developed, but the compounds have been known to have low stability of thin film so that they tend to be readily crystallized. Diphenyldistyryl type blue electroluminescent materials having improved stability of thin film wherein the phenyl group of side chain inhibits crystallization have been developed by Idemitsu [H. Tokailin, H. Higashi, C. Hosokawa, EP 388,768 (1990)].


Distyrylanthracene derivatives having improved stability of thin film due to electron withdrawers and electron donors have been developed by Kyushu University [Pro. SPIE, 1910, 180 (1993)].


In addition, arylethylene derivatives such as DPVBi and DPVDPAN, as disclosed in EP 1063869 (Idemitsu Kosan Company Limited), Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-0048006 (Eastman Kodak Company, USA) and Japanese Patent Laid-Open 1996-333569, have been widely used as blue EL materials.

Since DPVBi involves problem of thermal stability having low glass transition temperature of 100° C. or lower, DPVDPAN of the chemical formula wherein anthracene is incorporated inside the biphenyl of said DPVBi has improved thermal stability by raising the glass transition temperature to 105° C.


However, DPVDPAN with enhanced thermal stability showed the color coordinate (x,y) (demonstrating color purity) of (0.166, 0.176), which is similar to that of DPVBi. Since the smaller the y value of color coordinate is, the closer the color is to pure blue, the y value (0.176) is insufficient as a blue EL material. In general, a number of OLED panels require not more than 0.15 of y value as the standard of pure blue color, and it is preferable that the luminous efficiency and life time are maintained at this level.


Particularly, as the color purity becomes closer to pure blue, it is common phenomenon occurred that the lifetime of the device is abruptly reduced. Thus, maintaining the lifetime of the device while improving the color purity is a very significant issue to realize an OLED with high performance.


In the meanwhile, U.S. Pat. No. 6,479,172 claims fluorene EL compounds wherein 9-position of fluorene is substituted by aryl group, and R represents hydrogen, alkyl, alicyclic alkyl, halogen or cyano group.

As a specific compound, U.S. Pat. No. 6,479,172 discloses 9,9-[bis(4-(9-anthryl)phenyl)fluorene (BAPF) and 9,9-bis[4-(10-phenyl-9-anthryl)phenyl]fluorene (BPAPF), and the brightness of the disclosed compounds at 25 mA/cm2 was approximately from 350 to 414 cd/m2, so that they are limited to practical use.

The inventors surprisingly confirmed that an EL compound with improved luminous efficiency and luminescent color, which can provide a device with enhanced stability, as compared to conventional fluorene EL compounds (including those disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 6,479,172) can be obtained, if an alkyl group is incorporated to 9-position of fluorene; 4-(9-anthryl)phenyl or 4-(9-anthryl)naphthyl is incorporated to 2-position carbon of fluorene; and 9-anthryl, 4-(9-anthryl)phenyl or 4-(9-anthryl)naphthyl group is incorporated to 7-position carbon of fluorene. Further, the inventors confirmed that an EL compound wherein an aryl group, instead of alkyl group, is substituted at 9-position of fluorene exhibits prominently improved luminous efficiency and luminescent color, as compared to the compound disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 6,479,172, and that the compound can provide a device with noticeably enhanced stability, and completed the invention. The fact that an organic EL compound with noticeably enhanced luminous properties and device stability can be obtained by incorporating 4-(9-anthryl)phenyl or 4-(9-anthryl)naphthyl group at 2-position carbon of fluorene, and 9-anthryl, 4-(9-anthryl)phenyl or 4-(9-anthryl)naphthyl group at 7-position carbon has not been recognized by conventional arts including U.S. Pat. No. 6,479,172.
