Embodiment 1

[0083] In this embodiment, a cathode 120 formed of Ag and IZO, a cathode buffer layer 131, an electron injection and transport layer 132, a light-emitting layer 133, a hole transport layer 134, a hole injection and transport layer 135, and an anode buffer layer are sequentially formed on the substrate 110. Examples of organic EL elements of layer 136 and anode 140 .

[0084] On a glass substrate 110 (vertical 50 mm x lateral 50 mm x thickness 0.7 mm, 1737 glass produced by Corning), an Ag film with a thickness of 100 nm was formed using a DC magnetron sputtering method. Then, on the upper surface of the Ag film, a DC magnetron sputtering method (target: In 2 O 3 +10wt%ZnO, discharge gas: Ar+0.5%O 2 , discharge pressure: 0.3Pa, discharge power: 1.45W / cm 3 , the substrate conveying speed is 162 mm / min), and an IZO film with a film thickness of 110 nm is formed. Next, the laminated body of the Ag film and the IZO film was processed into a strip shape with a width of 2 mm by p...

Embodiment 2

[0089] The procedure of 1 was repeated except that the film thickness of the cathode buffer layer 131 was changed to 50 nm, and an organic EL element was produced.

Abstract

An organic EL element includes a cathode, a cathode buffer layer composed of a HAT derivative, an electron injection transport layer, and a light emitting layer arranged in this order from the substrate side. The organic EL element has remarkable advantages that (1) the electron injection transport performance of the electron injection transport layer is prevented from being deteriorated by oxygen and / or moisture adsorbed to the cathode and supply of electrons to the light emitting layer is assured, (2) the drive voltage of the organic EL element is reduced, (3) an increase of the drive voltage for giving a constant current density with the passage of the drive time is prevented, and (4) current leakage and occurrence of a pixel defect are suppressed, and the quality and fabrication yield of the organic EL element are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an organic EL element applicable to a flat panel display and a light source for illumination. In particular, an organic EL element that operates at a low drive voltage and consumes low power can be provided with a high yield. Background technique [0002] In recent years, research into practical use of organic electroluminescence elements (hereinafter also referred to as organic EL elements) has been actively conducted. Since an organic EL element can realize a high current density at a low voltage, it is expected to realize high light emission luminance and light emission efficiency. [0003] In this organic EL element, two electrodes sandwiching the organic EL layer are provided, and the electrode on the light-extracting side is required to have a high transmittance. As a material of such an electrode, a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) material (eg, indium-tin oxide (ITO), indium-zinc oxide (IZO), indium-tungsten...
