- OLED organic electroluminescent device
- An organic electroluminescent device usually has a charge injection layer, a charge transport layer, an organic light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, etc. between an anode and a cathode, and materials suitable for each layer are being developed. Emission colors are also being developed into red, green, and blue.
- Methods for forming the organic layer of the organic electroluminescence device include a vacuum deposition method and a wet film forming method (coating method).
- the vacuum vapor deposition method facilitates lamination, and thus has the advantage of improving charge injection from the anode and/or cathode and facilitating confinement of excitons in the light-emitting layer.
- the wet film-forming method does not require a vacuum process and can easily be applied to a large area. There is an advantage that a layer containing the material can be formed. Therefore, in recent years, research and development of organic electroluminescence elements by film formation by a coating method have been vigorously carried out.

電荷輸送性イオン化合物は、電子受容性イオン化合物と、本発明のカルバゾール化合物とを混合することによって得ることができ、種々の溶媒に容易に溶解する。具体的には、後述の、<電荷輸送膜用組成物(B)の調製方法>にて記した方法で得ることが出来る。
電荷輸送性イオン化合物の分子量は、カチオンラジカルが高分子化合物である場合を除いて、通常1000以上、好ましくは1200以上、更に好ましくは1400以上、また、通常9000以下、好ましくは5000以下、更に好ましくは4000以下の範囲である。
電荷輸送性イオン化合物(B)は、電子受容性イオン化合物と、本発明のカルバゾール化合物とを溶媒に溶解して混合して調製して得ることが好ましい。この溶液中で、電子受容性イオン化合物によって本発明のカルバゾール化合物が酸化されてカチオンラジカル化し、電子受容性イオン化合物の対アニオンと、本発明のカルバゾール化合物のカチオンラジカルとのイオン化合物である、電荷輸送性イオン化合物が生成する。
電荷輸送性イオン化合物1種を単独で、又は2種含有する組成物とは、電子受容性イオン化合物と本発明のカルバゾール化合物を合計で2種のみ又は3種のみ用いて調製された組成物であって、少なくとも1つの電子受容性イオン化合物と少なくとも1つの本発明のカルバゾール化合物とを用いて調製された組成物である。
電荷輸送膜用組成物(A)により形成される電荷輸送膜は、耐熱性に優れるとともに、高い正孔注入・輸送能を有する。この様な優れた特性が得られる理由を以下に説明する。
本発明の組成物は、前記本発明のカルバゾール化合物及び、前記電子受容性化合物、及び/又は、前記重合体、を含む機能性材料と溶媒を混合し、一定時間加温して溶解または分散させることで調製することができる。機能性材料を溶媒内に均一に溶解または分散させるためには、加温する温度は通常、室温又は室温以上であり、80℃以上が好ましく、90℃以上がより好ましく、100℃以上、例えば100~115℃がさらに好ましい。また、加温時間は30分以上が好ましく45分以上がより好ましく、60分以上、例えば60~180分がさらに好ましい。
本発明の組成物を用いて膜を形成する場合、本発明の組成物は溶媒を含む溶液であることが好ましく、本発明の組成物を湿式成膜することが好ましい。
赤外線による加熱は基板あるいは膜に直接熱エネルギーを与えるため、オーブンやホットプレートを用いた加熱と比べて短時間での乾燥が可能となる。そのため加熱雰囲気のガス(水分や酸素)の影響や、微小なごみの影響を最小限に抑えることができ、生産性が向上し、好ましい。
加熱時間は、通常10秒以上、好ましくは60秒以上、より好ましくは90秒以上であり、通常120分以下、好ましくは60分以下、より好ましくは30分以下である。
加熱乾燥の前に真空乾燥を行うことも好ましい。
本発明の組成物を用いた膜及び本発明の組成物を用いて形成された膜は、電荷輸送層として好適に用いることができる。この電荷輸送層は、特に好ましくは、有機電界発光素子の電荷輸送膜として用いられる。
基板1は、有機電界発光素子の支持体となるものであり、通常、石英やガラスの板、金属板や金属箔、プラスチックフィルムやシート等が用いられる。これらのうち、ガラス板や、ポリエステル、ポリメタクリレート、ポリカーボネート、ポリスルホン等の透明な合成樹脂の板が好ましい。基板は、外気による有機電界発光素子の劣化が起こり難いことからガスバリア性の高い材質とするのが好ましい。このため、特に合成樹脂製の基板等のようにガスバリア性の低い材質を用いる場合は、基板の少なくとも片面に緻密なシリコン酸化膜等を設けてガスバリア性を上げるのが好ましい。
陽極2は、発光層5側の層に正孔を注入する機能を担う。
陽極2側から発光層5側に正孔を輸送する機能を担う層は、通常、正孔注入輸送層又は正孔輸送層と呼ばれる。陽極2側から発光層5側に正孔を輸送する機能を担う層が2層以上ある場合に、より陽極側に近い方の層を正孔注入層3と呼ぶことがある。正孔注入層3は、陽極2から発光層5側に正孔を輸送する機能を強化する点で、形成されることが好ましい。正孔注入層3を形成する場合、通常、正孔注入層3は、陽極2上に形成される。
このようにして形成される正孔注入層3の膜厚は、通常5nm以上、好ましくは10nm以上、また、通常1000nm以下、好ましくは500nm以下の範囲である。
溶剤としては、例えば、エーテル系溶剤、エステル系溶剤、芳香族炭化水素系溶剤、アミド系溶剤等が挙げられる。
正孔輸送層4は、陽極2側から発光層5側に正孔を輸送する機能を担う層である。正孔輸送層4は、本発明の有機電界発光素子では、必須の層では無いが、陽極2から発光層5に正孔を輸送する機能を強化する点では、この層を形成することが好ましい。正孔輸送層4を形成する場合、通常、正孔輸送層4は、陽極2と発光層5の間に形成される。上述の正孔注入層3がある場合は、正孔輸送層4は、正孔注入層3と発光層5の間に形成される。
ポリアリールアミン誘導体としては、下記式(I)で表される繰り返し単位を含む重合体が好ましい。特に、下記式(I)で表される繰り返し単位からなる重合体が好ましい。この場合、繰り返し単位それぞれにおいて、Ara’又はArb’が異なっているものであってもよい。
発光層5は、一対の電極間に電界が与えられた時に、陽極2から注入される正孔と陰極7から注入される電子が再結合することにより励起され、発光する機能を担う層である。発光層5は、陽極2と陰極7の間に形成される層であり、発光層は、陽極の上に正孔注入層がある場合は、正孔注入層と陰極の間に形成される。陽極の上に正孔輸送層がある場合は、発光層は正孔輸送層と陰極の間に形成される。
本発明の発光層は、発光材料と電荷輸送材料を含む。発光材料は燐光発光材料でもよいし、蛍光発光材料でもよい。好ましくは、赤発光材料と緑発光材料は燐光発光材料であり、青発光材料は蛍光発光材料である。
燐光発光材料とは、励起三重項状態から発光を示す材料をいう。例えば、Ir、Pt、Euなどを有する金属錯体化合物がその代表例であり、材料の構造として、金属錯体を含むものが好ましい。

実施例5~8および比較例1、5で得られた有機電界発光素子を発光させると、ピーク波長468nmの青色発光が得られた。
素子を1,000cd/m2で発光させた際の電圧(V)及び電流効率(cd/A)を測定した。また、素子に20mA/cm2の電流密度で通電し続けた際の輝度低下寿命(輝度低下90%)を測定した。この値をLT90とする。

比較例6の有機電界発光素子の電圧と、実施例9の有機電界発光素子の電圧差、すなわち、「実施例9の有機電界発光素子の電圧-比較例6の有機電界発光素子の電圧」の値を「電圧差」として求め、表3に記した。
また、比較例6の有機電界発光素子の電流発光効率(cd/A)を1.00としたときの、実施例9の有機電界発光素子の電流発光効率の比、すなわち、「実施例9の有機電界発光素子の電流発光効率/比較例6の有機電界発光素子の電流発光効率」を「相対電流発光効率」として求め、表3に記した。
さらに、比較例6の有機電界発光素子のLT90を1.0とした場合の、実施例9の有機電界発光素子のLT90の比、すなわち、「実施例9の有機電界発光素子のLT90/比較例1の有機電界発光素子のLT90」を「相対寿命」として求め、表2に記した。
