  • fluorescence emission that emits light when returning from the singlet excited state to the ground state.

  • red phosphorescence and green phosphorescence are applied to smartphones and televisions.
  • blue phosphorescence with a short emission lifetime still uses traditional fluorescence, and electronic displays using blue phosphorescence have not yet been put into practical use.
  • One solution is to speed up the forbidden transition accompanied by spin inversion from the triplet excited state (T 1 ) to the ground state (S 0 ) by imparting a heavy atom effect to the host compound.
  • the luminous efficiency in order to maintain a high, it is necessary to move quickly energy to T 1 of the light emitting dopant from T 1 of the host compound. That is, it is necessary to use a heavy atom complex having a shorter phosphorescence emission wavelength than the emission dopant.

  • TADF thermally activated delayed fluorescence
  • HOMO Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital
  • LUMO Low Unoccupied Molecular Orbital
  • This TADF phenomenon occurs when HOMO and LUMO exist completely separately in a molecule and form a charge transfer complex (Electron-Donor-Acceptor Complex: EDA complex) in the molecule. Therefore, an electron acceptor (hereinafter also simply referred to as “acceptor”) molecule and an electron donor (hereinafter also simply referred to as “donor”) molecule coexist and charge transfer (CT) transition occurs between the molecules. The same thing happens when you wake up. Actually, a highly efficient delayed fluorescence organic EL device has been realized using an exciplex which is an excited state charge transfer complex formed of two molecules (Non-patent Document 1).
  • Patent Document 1 does not mention any blue phosphorescent element. This is because the formation of an exciplex itself causes an electronic transition between the high (shallow) HOMO level of the donor substance and the low (deep) LUMO level of the acceptor substance. This is considered to be because the energy difference (gap) between the excited state and the ground state of the active substance becomes small (narrow), that is, the emission spectrum of the exciplex has a long wavelength. That is, it is considered that this technical concept cannot be applied to a blue phosphor element having a short emission wavelength and high triplet excited state energy.
  • the basic guideline for molecular design of TADF compounds is to have a strong acceptor and a strong donor coexist in the molecule. This is similar to the exciplex that was previously determined to be impossible. That is, this TADF compound can also be considered as an “intramolecular exciplex”.

  • the TADF compound that emits green and red light has been discovered for some time, and its molecular design is difficult to imagine from its temporal background.
  • the energy level of the triplet excited state of the TADF compound is significantly higher than the energy level of the triplet excited state of the blue phosphorescent dopant (empirically, it is 0. 0. This is difficult to apply with TADF molecules that emit blue light.
  • TADF TADF substance that emits light in the near ultraviolet region.
  • TADF molecules have intramolecular exciplex properties, the concept of designing conventional TADF molecules is blue. It is difficult to molecularly design a TADF compound as a phosphorescent host compound.

  • at least the donor part has a molecular structure with a twist relative to the core. The twisted structure is deformed while changing its twist angle when changing from the ground state to the excited state, and returns to the original molecular structure when the ground state is reached, so the emission spectrum becomes broad, the emission maximum wavelength and The wavelength difference between the light emitting ends on the short wave side becomes large.
  • the energy is S 1 energy
  • higher S 1 energy is required as compared with a light emitting material having the same emission color and a sharp emission spectrum. That is, it is indispensable to have a wider band gap than the emission color, which is a cause of difficulty in molecular design of TADF compounds emitting blue or near ultraviolet light.

  • the intersystem crossing is repeatedly performed in the forward direction and the reverse direction, the existence time of the triplet exciton becomes longer, and as a result, even if sometime it becomes a singlet excited state, it is the gist of the present invention. It cannot be a completely compatible technique for “reducing the existence time of host triplet excitons”.

Actually, such a typical TADF compound has such a molecular structure.
  • the HOMO level of the molecule becomes low (deep) due to the influence of a strong electron-withdrawing group. In this case, the level difference from the compound constituting the adjacent hole transport layer becomes large, so that it becomes difficult to inject holes into the light emitting layer.
  • the difference in the HOMO level between the TADF compound and the dopant becomes too large, so that all the holes that have entered the luminescent layer are all holes. There is a problem in that it is trapped by the dopant existing in the vicinity of the transport interface and recombination in an ideal state cannot be performed.
  • intramolecular space electronic transition is a phenomenon that occurs only in molecules that are designed so that the donor part and the acceptor part overlap in the molecule because of its chemical structure, so it is milder than the exciplex formation that usually occurs between two molecules. It is a major feature that it is expressed even in various donors and acceptors. For example, even in the combination of dibenzofuran, which is very weak as an acceptor, and carbazole, which is never strong as a donor, spatial electron transition occurs due to the steric molecular structure, and very short triplet excitons It is possible to realize the existence time.
  • the TADF compound does not emit light itself and is used as a host of a conventional fluorescent material. It is a technology called TADF assistant dopant, and it is known that the light emission lifetime is extended (reference: H. Nakatani, et al., Nature Communication, 2014, 5, 4016-4022.). However, a sufficient light emission lifetime has not been obtained with blue high-efficiency light emission. In this technique, the triplet excited state of the TADF molecule also gradually crosses back to the singlet excited state, and the singlet excited state emits light by transferring energy to a fluorescent dopant having lower S1 energy.
  • the broadening of the emission spectrum which was a weak point of TADF emission, is eliminated because the conventional sharp uses a fluorescent dopant of the emission spectrum, and it is possible to bring out a level comparable to a phosphorescent device with luminous efficiency. This is a very good technology.
  • the triplet excited state generated in the TADF molecule which is the host compound becomes a singlet excited state of the TADF molecule at a certain speed.
  • the singlet excited state may shine as it is, but is returned to the triplet excited state by the external heavy atom effect of the transition metal complex with high probability.
  • the returned triplet excited state and the originally formed triplet excited state cause energy transfer between T 1 T 1 to the phosphorescent dopant which is a transition metal complex, and light emission from the phosphorescent dopant is obtained.
  • the TADF molecule as the host compound is more advantageous from the viewpoint of shortening the existence time of the triplet exciton of the host compound than when it is used as the host compound of the phosphorescent dopant. Long life can be expected. Furthermore, if the TADF molecule was spatial electronic transition type TADF molecules, as previously described, eliminates or mismatch level with phosphorescent dopant, the high T 1 of TADF molecule itself (i.e., high S 1 of) is also made possible, said to be almost perfect technical means. In accordance with such logic, we have confirmed that the emission lifetime has never been increased by using space-electron transition type TADF molecules as phosphorescent dopants as host compounds, and completed the present invention. .
