Benefits of technology

[0105]According to the present invention, since a thin film can be stably and easily formed, and the solubility changes through a polymerization reaction, construction of a multilayer structure of organic thin film layers can be easily achieved. Furthermore, since a sufficient change in the solubility can be obtained at low temperature, an organic electronic material that can be applied to a flexible substrate such as a resin substrate, and an ink composition containing the organic electronic material can be provided. Further, according to the present invention, an organic thin film which is formed by using the organic electronic material or the ink composition, an organic electronic element which uses the organic thin film and has superior light emission efficiency and a superior emission lifetime than conventional electronic elements, an organic EL element, a lighting device, and a display device which includes the organic EL element and the lighting device.
[0106]Further, according to the present invention, an organic electronic material which can produce an organic electronic element capable of lowering of the driving voltage or stable long-term driving, and can be cured at low temperature by a coating method, a multilayered organic electronic element using the organic electronic material, an organic electroluminescent element, a display element and a lighting device can be provided. An organic electronic element, particularly an organic EL element, which is capable of lowering of the driving voltage or stable long-term driving can be provided by incorporating an ionic compound and a charge transporting compound.

Problems solved by technology

Vigorous research has been conducted so far on the low molecular weight type organic EL elements and the polymer type organic EL elements, but there still are problems of low light emission efficiency and a short element lifetime.
On the other hand, in the case of the polymer type organic EL elements, since film formation is carried out using a wet process such as printing or inkjetting, there occurs a problem that when an upper layer is applied, the lower layer undergoes dissolution.
Therefore, providing a multilayer structure in the polymer type organic EL elements is more difficult than in the case of the low molecular weight type organic EL elements, and the effects of enhancing the light emission efficiency and improving the lifetime could not be obtained.
However, when water-soluble PEDOT:PSS is used, the moisture remaining in the thin film needs to be removed, and this removal of moisture is difficult and causes deterioration of the properties of the organic electronic element.
Further, for the removal of moisture, it is necessary to dry the element at high temperature for a long time period, so that production of an organic electronic element on a resin substrate is difficult, or significant restrictions are imposed on the process, such as reduced pressure conditions.
However, in such a method, the solvent that can be used is limited to a solvent that does not dissolve the lower layer, and therefore, there is a problem that only a narrow choice of materials is available.
Further, a certain degree of erosion occurs in the lower layer at the time of the formation of an upper layer.
However, there is the problem described above that is attributable to the moisture remaining in the thin film when water-soluble PEDOT:PSS is used, or there are problems that there are restrictions on the material that can be used, in order to utilize the difference in solubility, that siloxane compounds are unstable to moisture in air, and that the properties of the element are not satisfactory.
However, since such a substrate undergoes softening, decomposition or degeneration due to high temperature, there is a problem that the method of bringing the polymerization reaction cannot be utilized.
In order to make the compound sufficiently insoluble through this method, there is a problem that ultraviolet irradiation for a long time period is required, and decomposition of triphenylamine or the like occurs.
In these methods, photoinitiators are used, and therefore, there is a concern for deterioration due to light.
Furthermore, there is a problem that sufficient insolubilization at low temperature does not proceed, and, and the application of resin substrates which require low temperature curing is restricted, or there is a problem that at the time of forming an upper layer, the upper layer and the lower layer are intermixed, causing deterioration of the organic EL characteristics.
On the other hand, an investigation is being conducted on the use of an iodonium salt or sulfonium salt having the same structure as that of the photoinitiators in the hole transport layer or the light emitting layer, for the purpose of lowering the driving voltage, which is a problem for organic EL elements.

example 1

[0297]A PEDOT:PSS dispersion liquid (manufactured by Starck-Vtech, Ltd., A14083 LVW142) was spin coated at 1500 min−1 on a glass substrate having an ITO pattern with a width of 1.6 mm, and the glass substrate was heated to dry on a hot plate at 200° C. for 10 minutes in air. Thus, a hole injection layer (40 nm) was formed. The experiment thereafter was carried out in a dry nitrogen environment.

[0298]Subsequently, a coating solution prepared by mixing the oligomer A (4.5 mg) obtained as described above, a photoinitiator (0.13 mg) which was the ionic compound 1, and toluene (1.2 mL), was spin coated at 3000 min−1 on the hole injection layer, and then the coating solution was irradiated with light (3 J / cm2) using a metal halide lamp. The coating solution was cured by heating on a hot plate at 180° C. for 60 minutes, and thus a hole transport layer (40 nm) was formed.

[0299]Subsequently, the glass substrate thus obtained was transferred into a vacuum deposition apparatus, and CBP+Ir(piq)...

[0305]An element was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that a coating solution prepared by mixing the oligomer 13 (4.5 mg) obtained as described above, the initiator (the same as in Example 1) (0.45 mg), and toluene (1.2 mL) was spin coated at 3000 min−1 on the hole injection layer, the coating solution was cured by heating on a hot plate at 120° C. for 10 minutes, and thus a hole transport layer (40 nm) was formed. ITO of this organic EL element was used as the positive electrode, while Al was used as the negative electrode, and a voltage was applied. Red light emission was observed at 4.0 V, and the current efficiency at a luminance of 1000 cd / m2 was 5.0 cd / A. Further, the lifetime characteristics were measured, and the luminance decreased by half in 140 hours.
