Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は平面光源や表示、通信用光源に使用される有機エレクトロルミネッセンス(EL)素子に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
有機物質を使用したEL素子は、固体発光型の安価な大面積フルカラー表示素子としての用途が有望視され、多くの開発が行われている。一般にELは、発光層および該層をはさんだ一対の対向電極から構成されている。発光は、両電極間に電界が印加されると、陰極側から電子が注入され、陽極側から正孔が注入される。さらに、この電子が発光層において正孔と再結合し、エネルギー準位が伝導帯から価電子帯に戻る際にエネルギーを光として放出する現象である。
【0003】
従来の有機EL素子は、無機EL素子に比べて駆動電圧が高く、発光輝度や発光効率も低かった。また、特性劣化も著しく実用化には至っていなかった。近年、10V以下の低電圧で発光する高い蛍光量子効率を持った有機化合物を含有した薄膜を積層した有機EL素子が報告され、関心を集めている(アプライド・フィジクス・レターズ、51巻、913ページ、1987年参照)。この方法では、金属キレート錯体を蛍光体層、アミン系化合物を正孔注入層に使用して、高輝度の緑色発光を得ており、6〜7Vの直流電圧で輝度は100cd/m2 、最大発光効率は1.5lm/Wを達成して、実用領域に近い性能を持っている。
【0004】
有機EL素子の構造としてはこれまでに2層構造(陽極と陰極の間に、ホール注入層と電子注入性発光層が形成された構造または、陽極と陰極の間に、ホール注入性発光層と電子注入層が形成された構造)、あるいは3層構造(陽極と陰極の間にホール注入層と発光層と電子注入層とが形成された構造)がある。しかしながら、現在までの有機EL素子は、構造の改善により発光強度は改良されているが、繰り返し使用時の安定性に劣るという大きな問題を持っている。従って、繰り返し使用時での安定性の優れた有機EL素子の開発のためには、更なる素子構造の改善が必要である。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、陽極と陰極の間に、ホール注入層と発光層と電子注入層が形成された構造の有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子において、陽極とホール注入層の間に複数層のホール注入層を挿入することにより、発光輝度が大きく、繰り返し使用時での安定性の優れた有機EL素子を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】

【発明の実施の形態】
【0009】
有機EL素子は、陽極と陰極間に一層もしくは多層の有機薄膜を形成した素子である。一層型の場合、陽極と陰極との間に発光層を設けている。多層型は、(陽極/正孔注入層/発光層/陰極)、(陽極/発光層/電子注入層/陰極)、(陽極/正孔注入層/発光層/電子注入層/陰極)の多層構成で積層した有機EL素子がある。
【0010】
従来の多層型有機EL素子の場合、陽極から発光層へのホール注入障壁が大きく、ジュール熱による有機層の結晶化を引き起こし、耐久性に問題があった。本発明では、一対の電極間に複数層の正孔注入層、発光層、電子注入層からなるエレクトロルミネッセンス素子において、前記式(I)の関係を満足するように陽極と発光層の間に複数のホール注入層を挿入することにより、ホール注入障壁を低下することができるため、有機EL素子の耐久性の向上を図ることが可能になる。本発明のホール注入障壁とは各層のイオン化ポテンシャルの差を意味し、イオン化ポテンシャルとは、金属電極薄膜、半導体電極薄膜、及び有機薄膜から電子を1個引き抜くために必要なエネルギーを意味し、本発明では大気雰囲気型紫外線光電子分析装置(表面分析装置AC−1:理研計器(株))によって評価を行った。また、本発明の有機EL素子は、正孔注入層が前記式(I)の関係を満足していれば、電子注入層は複数の層から構成されていても良い。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescence (EL) element used for a planar light source, a display, and a communication light source.
[0002]
[Prior art]
An EL element using an organic substance is considered to be promising for use as an inexpensive large-area full-color display element of a solid light emitting type, and many developments have been made. In general, an EL is composed of a light emitting layer and a pair of counter electrodes sandwiching the layer. In light emission, when an electric field is applied between both electrodes, electrons are injected from the cathode side and holes are injected from the anode side. Furthermore, the electrons are recombined with holes in the light emitting layer, and energy is emitted as light when the energy level returns from the conduction band to the valence band.
[0003]
Conventional organic EL elements have a higher driving voltage and lower light emission luminance and light emission efficiency than inorganic EL elements. Further, the characteristic deterioration has been remarkably not put into practical use. In recent years, organic EL devices in which thin films containing organic compounds with high fluorescence quantum efficiency that emit light at a low voltage of 10 V or less have been reported and attracted attention (Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 51, page 913). 1987). In this method, a metal chelate complex is used as a phosphor layer and an amine compound is used as a hole injection layer to obtain high luminance green light emission. The luminance is 100 cd / m 2 at a direct current voltage of 6 to 7 V, maximum The luminous efficiency is 1.5 lm / W, and the performance is close to the practical range.
[0004]
As the structure of the organic EL element, a two-layer structure (a structure in which a hole injecting layer and an electron injecting light emitting layer are formed between the anode and the cathode, or a hole injecting light emitting layer between the anode and the cathode) A structure in which an electron injection layer is formed) or a three-layer structure (a structure in which a hole injection layer, a light emitting layer, and an electron injection layer are formed between an anode and a cathode). However, the organic EL devices up to now have improved light emission intensity due to the improvement of the structure, but have a big problem that they are inferior in stability during repeated use. Therefore, in order to develop an organic EL element having excellent stability during repeated use, further improvement of the element structure is necessary.
[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0009]
An organic EL element is an element in which a single-layer or multilayer organic thin film is formed between an anode and a cathode. In the case of the single layer type, a light emitting layer is provided between the anode and the cathode. The multilayer type is a multilayer of (anode / hole injection layer / light emitting layer / cathode), (anode / light emitting layer / electron injection layer / cathode), and (anode / hole injection layer / light emitting layer / electron injection layer / cathode). There are organic EL elements stacked in a configuration.
[0010]
In the case of a conventional multilayer organic EL device, the hole injection barrier from the anode to the light emitting layer is large, causing crystallization of the organic layer due to Joule heat, and there is a problem in durability. In the present invention, in an electroluminescent device comprising a plurality of hole injection layers, a light emitting layer, and an electron injection layer between a pair of electrodes, a plurality of layers are provided between the anode and the light emitting layer so as to satisfy the relationship of formula (I). By inserting the hole injection layer, the hole injection barrier can be lowered, so that the durability of the organic EL element can be improved. The hole injection barrier of the present invention means a difference in ionization potential of each layer, and the ionization potential means energy necessary for extracting one electron from a metal electrode thin film, a semiconductor electrode thin film, and an organic thin film. In the invention, the evaluation was performed by an atmospheric-type ultraviolet photoelectron analyzer (surface analyzer AC-1: Riken Keiki Co., Ltd.). In the organic EL device of the present invention, the electron injection layer may be composed of a plurality of layers as long as the hole injection layer satisfies the relationship of the formula (I).

Z in the general formula [ 2 ] represents a substituted or unsubstituted fused aryl group or fused aryl heterocyclic group having 30 or less carbon atoms, and specific examples thereof include residues of the following silyl compounds.
