Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an organic electronic material containing a charge transporting polymer that is highly soluble in various solvents, and also to an ink composition, an organic film, an organic electronic element, and an organic electroluminescence element using the organic electronic material, a display element, a lighting device, and a display device using the element. Background Art

[0002] Organic electronic components are components that use organic matter to perform electrical operations. They are expected to have advantages such as energy saving, low price, and flexibility, and have attracted attention as a technology to replace existing inorganic semiconductors based on silicon. As an example of an organic electronic component, an organic electroluminescent element (hereinafter also referred to as an "organic EL element"), an organic photoelectric conversion element, an organic transistor, etc. can be cited.

[0003] Organic EL elements are attracting attention as large-area solid-state light sources that can be used as substitutes for incandescent lamps or gas-filled lamps. In addition, they are also attracting attention as the most powerful self-luminous display that can replace liquid crystal displays (LCDs) in the field of flat panel displays (FPDs), and are being promoted for commercialization.

[0004] The manufacturing methods of organic EL elements are roughly divided into two types: dry process, which mainly forms films in a vacuum system, and wet process, which can form films by plate printing such as relief printing and gravure printing, plateless printing such as inkjet printing, etc. Among them, the wet process is expected to be an indispensable method for future large-screen organic EL displays because it can achieve simple film formation.

[0005] Under such circumstances, the development of polymer compounds suitable for wet processes has been underway in recent years. For example, a method for forming a multilayer organic EL element by a wet process using a charge transporting polymer having a polymerizable functional group has been reported (for example, see Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 1).

[0009] [Non-patent literature]

[0010] Non-patent document 1: Kengo Hirose, Daisuke Kumaki, Nobuaki Koike, Akira Kuriyama, Seiichiro Ikehata, Shizuo Tokito, 53rd Joint Lecture Meeting on Relations in Applied Physics, 26p-ZK-4 (2006) Summary of the invention

[0011] [Problems to be solved by the invention]

[0012] Organic EL elements manufactured by wet processes have the advantages of being easy to achieve low cost and large area. However, from the perspective of element characteristics such as driving voltage, luminous efficiency and luminous life, organic EL elements manufactured by wet processes may not be sufficient, and further improvement is desired.

[0013] In a wet process, an ink composition (also referred to as varnish) containing a charge transporting polymer and a solvent is typically used, and the charge transporting polymer is ideally excellent in charge transporting ability and highly soluble in various solvents. In particular, the solubility of the charge transporting polymer is important not only in terms of operability during film formation, but also in terms of the viewpoint of manufacturing a uniform film in order to improve the characteristics of the element. In addition, for example, in inkjet printing, in order to appropriately adjust the characteristics such as the viscosity of the ink composition, it is ideal to use various solvents.

[0014] However, conventional charge transport polymers have low solubility in solvents, and the solvents that can be used in the preparation of ink compositions are often limited, and their applicability to inkjet printing is not necessarily sufficient. Therefore, charge transport polymers that have high solubility in various solvents are required.

[0015] In view of the above circumstances, the present disclosure provides an organic electronic material including a charge transporting polymer having high solubility in various solvents. In addition, using the organic electronic material, the present disclosure provides an ink composition, an organic film, an organic electronic element, an organic EL element, a display element using the organic EL element, a lighting device, and a display device.

The so-called "high solubility" means that the polymer dissolves in the solvent and presents a state in which the solution is not turbid and appears transparent, as specifically shown in the examples.

The compound containing the polymerizable functional group can be hardened by polymerization reaction, and the solubility in the solvent can be changed by hardening. Therefore, the charge transporting polymer containing at least the structural unit T1 has excellent hardening property and is a material suitable for wet process.

[0124] The charge transporting polymer may contain a structural unit T2 having no polymerizable functional group as a terminal structure (structural unit T). Specific examples of the structural unit T2 include structural units having a structure represented by the following formula (5).

[0125]

[0126] In the formula, Rf is a fluoroalkyl group, a and b are 0 or 1, and a and b are not 0 at the same time. The fluoroalkyl group is as described in the structural unit L1. In one embodiment, preferably, in the formula, Rf is -CF3 or -C2F5, and a and b are 1 respectively.

[0127] A charge transporting polymer containing a structural unit having a structure represented by the above formula (5) at the terminal portion (hereinafter referred to as structural unit T2) tends to show high solubility. Therefore, when the charge transporting polymer also contains structural unit T2 having the above structure in addition to structural unit L1, high solubility is easily obtained.

[0157] (Method for producing charge transporting polymer)

[0158] Charge transport polymers can be manufactured by various synthesis methods, and the manufacturing method is not particularly limited. For example, known coupling reactions such as Suzuki coupling, Negishi coupling, Sonogashira coupling, Stille coupling, and Buchwald-Hartwig coupling can be used. Suzuki coupling causes a cross-coupling reaction using a Pd catalyst between an aromatic boronic acid derivative and an aromatic halide.

[0173] <Ink composition>

[0174] One embodiment relates to an ink composition that further contains a solvent in the organic electronic material of the embodiment. The solvent can be any solvent that can dissolve or disperse the organic electronic material, such as the following examples. By using this ink composition, an organic layer can be easily formed by a simple method such as a coating method.

[0175] [Solvent]

[0176] As the solvent, water, an organic solvent, or a mixed solvent thereof can be used. Examples of the organic solvent include: alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol; alkanes such as pentane, hexane, and octane; cycloalkanes such as cyclohexane; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, mesitylene, tetralin, and diphenylmethane; aliphatic ethers such as ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, ethylene glycol diethyl ether, and propylene glycol-1-monomethyl ether acetate; 1,2-dimethoxybenzene, 1,3-dimethoxybenzene, anisole, phenethyl ether, 2-methoxytoluene, 3-methoxytoluene, 4- Aromatic ethers such as methoxytoluene, 2,3-dimethylanisole, and 2,4-dimethylanisole; aliphatic esters such as ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, ethyl lactate, and n-butyl lactate; aromatic esters such as phenyl acetate, phenyl propionate, methyl benzoate, ethyl benzoate, propyl benzoate, and n-butyl benzoate; amide solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide; dimethyl sulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, chloroform, and dichloromethane. Preferred are aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic esters, aromatic esters, aliphatic ethers, and aromatic ethers.

[0177] Although the existing representative charge transport polymers are soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, their solubility in ester solvents such as aliphatic esters and aromatic esters is significantly low, or they are often insoluble. In contrast, the charge transport polymers disclosed in this specification also show excellent solubility in ester solvents. Therefore, in the preparation of the ink composition, various solvents can be used in combination, which can improve the applicability to coating methods such as inkjet printing.

Examples of the additives include polymerization inhibitors, stabilizers, thickeners, gelling agents, flame retardants, antioxidants, reduction inhibitors, oxidants, reducing agents, surface modifiers, emulsifiers, defoamers, dispersants, surfactants, and the like.

For example, the content of the solvent is preferably an amount in which the ratio of the charge transporting polymer to the solvent is 0.1% by mass or more, more preferably an amount in which the ratio of the charge transporting polymer to the solvent is 0.2% by mass or more, and further preferably an amount in which the ratio of the charge transporting polymer to the solvent is 20% by mass or less, more preferably an amount in which the ratio of the charge transporting polymer to the solvent is 15% by mass or less, and further preferably an amount in which the ratio of the charge transporting polymer to the solvent is 10% by mass or less.

[0182] <Organic thin film>

[0183] The organic thin film (organic layer) as an embodiment of the present disclosure can suppress thermal degradation and surface oxidation by drying the coating film after formation in a nitrogen environment, and has excellent performance. In addition, when an organic electronic material containing a charge transporting polymer having a polymerizable functional group is used as an organic layer forming material, an insoluble organic layer is obtained, so it is easy to realize multilayering by a wet process.

[0186] The formation of the coating film is preferably carried out in an atmospheric environment or an inert gas environment using a coating solution containing an organic electronic material and a solvent. Examples of coating methods include spin coating, casting, dipping, plate printing such as relief printing, gravure printing, offset printing, lithography, relief reverse offset printing, screen printing, gravure printing, and other plateless printing methods such as inkjet printing.

[0187] The formation of the organic thin film is carried out by heating the coating film in an atmospheric environment or an inert gas environment. By heating the coating film, the solvent in the coating film evaporates to obtain a dry film.

[0189] The coating film can be heated using, for example, a hot plate or an oven. To perform heating in an inert gas atmosphere, a hot plate is used in an inert gas atmosphere, or the interior of an oven is set in an inert gas atmosphere.

[0190] From the viewpoint of efficiently removing the solvent, the heating is preferably carried out at a temperature above the boiling point of the solvent. In addition, when the charge transporting polymer has a polymerizable functional group, it is preferably a temperature at which the polymerization reaction is efficiently carried out. In one embodiment, the heating temperature of the coating film is preferably 140°C or more, more preferably 180°C or more, and further preferably 190°C or more.

[0277] 2. Evaluation of Solubility of Charge Transporting Polymer

[0278] (Example 1 to Example 9 and Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 4)

[0279] The solubility of each of the hole transporting polymers prepared above in various solvents was evaluated by the following method. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0280] (Solubility Evaluation Method)

[0281] Weigh any amount of each hole transporting polymer prepared previously into a sample tube, adjust the amount of each solvent so that the polymer concentration reaches 3wt% and add it. Then, stir at 300rpm for 24 hours at room temperature (25°C) using a mixing rotor. Observe the stirred solution by visual judgment and judge the solubility according to the following criteria.

[0282] (Evaluation criteria for solubility)

[0283] G: Good solubility (the polymer is dissolved in the solvent. More specifically, no precipitate is observed, and the solution is not turbid but appears transparent.)

[0284] P: Poor solubility (the polymer is insoluble in the solvent. More specifically, a precipitate is observed or the solution is turbid.)

[0285] [Table 1]

[0286]

[0287] From the comparison between the examples and the comparative examples, it can be seen that when the charge transporting polymer has a structure represented by formula (1) having a fluoroalkyl group at a specific position of the benzene ring of the triphenylamine structure (the structure of monomer A1), high solubility can be obtained in various solvents. In addition, it can be seen that when the charge transporting polymer also has a fluoroalkyl group at the terminal, higher solubility can be obtained.

[0288] Furthermore, when an organic thin film was obtained by coating a solution containing the charge transporting polymer of each example, an organic hole-only device (HOD) having the organic thin film was manufactured and voltage was applied, current flowed in all cases, confirming that the devices had a hole transporting function.

[0289] The above results show that according to the present invention, a charge transporting polymer that can be preferably used as an organic electronic material and has high solubility in various solvents can be provided. Therefore, according to the present invention, an ink composition and an organic film that can improve device characteristics by using an organic electronic material containing the charge transporting polymer can be provided. Furthermore, an organic electronic device and an organic EL device having excellent device characteristics, as well as a display device, a lighting device, and a display device using the organic EL device can be provided.
