[0027] (1)Organic compounds First, the organic compound according to the present invention will be described.

[0028] The organic compound according to the present invention is a compound represented by general formula (1-1) or (1-2).

[0029] [ka]

[0030] In the general formula (1-1), the bond R a ~R h At least four of the bonds R are bonded to a skeleton selected from the structure group A. a ~R h Among these, the bonds not bonded to Structure A Group are each independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a deuterium atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted amino group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryloxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted silyl group, and a cyano group.

[0033] In the general formula (1-2), the bond R j , R k , R n , and R o may be linked to a backbone selected from Structure Group A.

[0034] [ka]

[0035] In the general formulas (2-1) to (2-10), R 1 ~R 90are each independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a deuterium atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted amino group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryloxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted silyl group, and a cyano group.

[0036] The organic compound according to the present invention is a compound having excellent thermal stability because the central skeleton is a naphthalene skeleton or a skeleton in which a 5-membered ring structure is fused with a 6-membered ring on both sides (for example, a fluorene skeleton), and the indolocarbazole skeleton further has a fused ring structure. Here, the central skeleton refers to a skeleton represented by general formula (1-1) or (1-2). Specifically, the organic compound according to the present invention is different from compound Ref-1 and compound Ref-2 in that the central skeleton is a naphthalene skeleton or a skeleton in which a 5-membered ring structure is fused with a 6-membered ring on both sides (for example, a fluorene skeleton), and the carbazole skeleton has a structure in which, for example, benzofuran or benzothiophene is fused. Therefore, the organic compound according to the present invention has a larger molecular weight than compound Ref-1 and compound Ref-2. As a result, the intermolecular force is stronger, and the organic compound according to the present invention is an organic compound having excellent thermal stability.

[0037] Table 1 shows the results of TG-DTA (simultaneous thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis) measurement of the organic compound according to the present invention and the compound Ref-1, which is a comparative example.

[0038] [Table 1]

[0039] From Table 1, it was found that the 5% weight loss temperatures of compounds A-6, A-7, D-1, and D-2, which are examples of the organic compound according to the present invention, are 596°C, 573°C, 540°C, and 553°C, respectively, which are sufficiently higher than the 5% weight loss temperature of compound Ref-1, which is a comparative example. In particular, it was found that the 5% weight loss temperatures of compounds A-6, A-7, and D-2 are 100°C or more higher than the 5% weight loss temperature of compound Ref-1.

[0040] As described above, the organic compound according to the present invention has a central skeleton of a naphthalene skeleton or a skeleton in which a 5-membered ring structure is fused with 6-membered rings on both sides (e.g., a fluorene skeleton), and has a structure in which a carbazole skeleton is fused with, for example, benzofuran or benzothiophene, thereby increasing the molecular weight. Therefore, the organic compound according to the present invention is considered to have excellent thermal stability.

[0041] In addition, the condensation of benzofuran or benzothiophene with a carbazole skeleton tends to lower the HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital) energy level, and therefore, among the organic compounds according to the present invention, compounds with benzofuran or benzothiophene condensed with a carbazole skeleton are considered to have excellent stability against oxidation.

[0042] Because of the above-mentioned characteristics, when the organic compound according to the present invention is used in an organic light-emitting device, an organic light-emitting device having excellent durability can be provided.

[0043] Specific examples of the organic compound according to the present invention are shown below, but the present invention is not limited to these.

[0112] In addition, in the general formulas (3-6) and (3-7), R 46 ~R 63 may be a hydrogen atom, R 46 ~R 63 are each independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having from 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group having from 3 to 24 carbon atoms.

[0113] The organic compound having the characteristic (A) is an organic compound having particularly excellent oscillator strength among the organic compounds having the general formula (1-1) as a central skeleton among the organic compounds according to the present invention. The oscillator strength of the organic compound according to the present invention was calculated using Gaussian 16 (Gaussian 16, Revision C.01, MJ Frisch, et al, Gaussian, Inc., Wallingford CT, 2019.), a molecular orbital calculation software manufactured by Gaussian, USA. The results are shown in Tables 2 and 3.

[0114] [Table 2]

[0115] Compounds A-1 to A-10 are the following compounds.

[0116] [ka]

[0117] From Table 2, it can be seen that the oscillator strengths of compounds A-1, A-2, A-4 to A-10 are equal to or greater than those of compounds Ref-1 and Ref-2. In particular, the oscillator strengths of compounds A-1, A-5, A-6, A-7, and A-8 are high among the compounds of the present invention. The organic compounds represented by compounds A-1, A-2, A-4 to A-10 are compounds in which the central skeleton represented by general formula (1-1) is bonded to general formula (2-1), (2-2), (2-4), (2-5), (2-6), (2-7), (2-8), (2-9), or (2-10).

[0118] [Table 3]

[0119] Compounds B-1 to B-10 are the following compounds.

[0120] [ka]

[0121] From Table 3, it can be seen that the oscillator strengths of compounds B-1, B-2, B-4 to B-10 are greater than or equal to the oscillator strengths of compounds Ref-1 and Ref-2. In particular, the oscillator strengths of compounds B-1, B-5, B-6, B-7, B-8, and B-9 exhibited high oscillator strengths among the compounds of the present invention. The organic compounds represented by compounds B-1, B-2, B-4 to B-10 are compounds in which the central skeleton represented by general formula (1-1) is bonded to general formula (2-1), (2-2), (2-4), (2-5), (2-6), (2-7), (2-8), (2-9), or (2-10).

[0122] Here, the relationship between oscillator strength and quantum yield (luminescence efficiency) will be described. As described in paragraph

[0262] of JP 2020-47930 and paragraph

[0035] of JP 2022-46999, it is known that compounds with high oscillator strength exhibit high quantum yield (luminescence efficiency).

[0123] Therefore, from the viewpoint of oscillator strength, it is preferable that general formula (1-1) is bonded to general formula (2-1), (2-2), (2-4), (2-5), (2-6), (2-7), (2-8), (2-9), or (2-10), more preferably a compound to which general formula (2-1), (2-5), (2-6), (2-7), or (2-8) is bonded, and particularly preferably a compound to which general formula (2-6), (2-7), or (2-8) is bonded. Moreover, X is preferably an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom, and more preferably an oxygen atom.

[0124] (B) Of the organic compounds having general formula (1-2) in the central skeleton, general formula (1-2) is preferably a fluorene skeleton.

[0125] Among the organic compounds having the characteristics of (B), those represented by general formula (4-2) are more preferable.

[0126] [ka]

[0127] In the general formula (4-2), the bond R i , R l , R m , R p are each independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a deuterium atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted amino group, and a cyano group. 46 ~R 54are each independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a deuterium atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted amino group, and a cyano group. X is an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, NR 91 , C.R. 92 R 93 , or SiR 94 R 95 R 91 ~R 95 are each independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a deuterium atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group.

[0128] The organic compound having the characteristic (B) is an organic compound having particularly excellent oscillator strength among the organic compounds having the general formula (1-2) as a central skeleton among the organic compounds according to the present invention. The oscillator strengths of the compounds C-1 to C-14 were determined by the above-mentioned method. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0129] [Table 4]

[0130] Compounds C-1 to C-14 are the following compounds.

[0131] [ka]

[0132] From Table 4, among organic compounds having general formula (1-2) as a central skeleton, the organic compounds according to the present embodiment tend to show high oscillator strength, particularly when the central skeleton represented by general formula (1-2) is a fluorene skeleton. This is because the oscillator strength of the fluorene skeleton itself is high, and it is considered that the organic compounds according to the present invention tend to show high oscillator strength when general formula (1-2) is a fluorene skeleton.

[0133] Among the organic compounds according to the present embodiment, the compound represented by the general formula (4-2) exhibits particularly high oscillator strength. This is believed to be because the direction of the oscillator moment of the central fluorene skeleton coincides with the extension direction of the skeleton further condensed with the carbazole skeleton, resulting in the particularly high oscillator strength.

[0134] (C) The organic compound having the general formula (1-1) or (1-2) in the central skeleton preferably has a bulky substituent.

[0135] Among the organic compounds according to the present invention, it is preferable that the organic compounds having the general formulae (1-1) and (1-2) in the central skeleton have a bulky substituent. By having the characteristic (C), the organic compound exhibits a higher oscillator strength. In addition, the invention according to this embodiment is preferable because it has a bulky substituent, which is expected to improve the solubility in a solvent.

[0136] In the organic compound according to the present embodiment, the bulky substituent is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 18 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group having 5 to 12 carbon atoms, and is preferably a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 18 carbon atoms. Specifically, it may be an iso-propyl group, a cyclohexyl group having a phenyl group, a phenyl group, a phenyl group having an alkyl group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, a paraphenylene group consisting of 2 to 3 phenyl groups, a paraphenylene group consisting of 2 to 3 phenyl groups and having a tert-butyl group, a metaphenylene group consisting of 2 to 5 phenyl groups, or a metaphenylene group consisting of 2 to 5 phenyl groups and having a methyl group or an iso-propyl group. The phenyl group having an alkyl group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms may be an iso-propyl group, a tert-butyl group, or a cyclohexyl group. The metaphenylene group may have a structure in which phenyl groups are bonded in a straight chain, or a structure in which phenyl groups are bonded in a branched chain.

[0137] Table 5 shows the oscillator strengths of the compounds D-1 to D-20, which are organic compounds according to this embodiment. The oscillator strengths were determined by the method described above.

[0138] [Table 5]

[0139] Compounds D-1 to D-20 are the following compounds.

[0140] [ka]

[0141] [ka]

[0142] From Table 5, it was found that the organic compound according to this embodiment exhibits high oscillator strength. Among the organic compounds according to this embodiment, it is preferable that the organic compound having the general formula (1-1) and (1-2) in the central skeleton has a substituent in the long axis direction. This is because the compound exhibits particularly high oscillator strength.

[0143] From the above, the organic compound according to the present invention is an organic compound having excellent thermal stability. Furthermore, among the organic compounds according to the present invention, the organic compound having the characteristics described in (A) or (B) is an organic compound having particularly excellent oscillator strength.

[0144] (2) Organic light-emitting element Next, an organic light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. The organic light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention has a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic compound layer disposed between these electrodes. One of the first electrode and the second electrode is an anode, and the other is a cathode. In the organic light-emitting device according to this embodiment, the organic compound layer may be a single layer or a laminate consisting of multiple layers as long as it has a light-emitting layer. The organic compound according to the present invention may be included in the organic compound layer, and is preferably included in the light-emitting layer. Here, when the organic compound layer is a laminate consisting of multiple layers, the organic compound layer may have a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a hole exciton blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc. in addition to the light-emitting layer. The light-emitting layer may be a single layer or a laminate consisting of multiple layers. When the light-emitting layer is a multiple layer, a charge generation layer may be included between the light-emitting layers. The charge generating layer may be composed of a compound having a LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) energy level lower than the LUMO energy level of the hole transport layer, and the LUMO energy level of the charge generating layer may be lower than the HOMO energy level of the hole transport layer. Here, the HOMO energy level and the LUMO energy level of the organic compound layer may be the HOMO energy level and the LUMO energy level of the organic compound having the largest weight ratio in the organic compound layer.

[0145] Here, the closer the HOMO energy level and the LUMO energy level are to the vacuum level, the higher they are described as being. The LUMO energy level of the charge generating layer being lower than the HOMO energy level of the hole transporting layer means that the LUMO energy level of the charge generating layer is farther from the vacuum level than the HOMO energy level of the hole transporting layer.

[0146] In this specification, the HOMO energy level and the LUMO energy level can be calculated by molecular orbital calculation. The molecular orbital calculation may be performed by density functional theory (DFT) or the like, using B3LYP as the functional and 6-31G* as the basis function.Gaussian09(Gaussian09,RevisionC.01,MJFrisch,GWTrucks,HBSchlegel,GEScuseria,MARobb, JRCheeseman,G.Scalmani,V.Barone,B.Mennucci,GAPetersson,H.Nakatsuji,M.Caricato,X.Li,HPHratchian,AF Izmailov,J.Bloino,G.Zheng,JLSonnenberg,M.Hada,M.Ehara,K.Toyota,R.Fukuda,J.Hasegawa,M.Ishida,T.Nak ajima,Y.Honda,O.Kitao,H.Nakai,T.Vreven,JAMontgomery,Jr.,JEPeralta,F.Ogliaro,M.Bearpark,JJHeyd,E.B rothers,KNKudin,VNStaroverov,T.Keith,R.Kobayashi,J.Normand,K.Raghavachari,A.Rendell,JCBurant,SSIy engar,J.Tomasi,M.Cossi,N.Rega,JMMillam,M.Klene,JEKnox,JBCross,V.Bakken,J.Adamo,J.Jaramillo,R.Gomp erts,REStratmann,O.Yazyev,AJAustin,R.Cammi,J.Pomelli,JWOchterski,RLMartin,K.Morokuma,VGZakrzewski,GAVoth,P.Salvador,JJDannenberg,S.Dapprich,ADDaniels,O.Farkas,JBForesman,JVOrtizski,J.Condizski DJFox,Gaussian,Inc.,Wallingford CT,2010.)

[0147] The HOMO energy level and the LUMO energy level in this specification can be calculated using the ionization potential and the band gap. The HOMO energy level can be estimated by measuring the ionization potential. The ionization potential can be measured by dissolving the compound to be measured in a solvent such as toluene or by forming a deposition film of the compound to be measured on a substrate such as glass, and then using a measuring device such as AC-3. The band gap can be measured by dissolving the compound to be measured in a solvent such as toluene and applying excitation light. The band gap can be measured by measuring the absorption edge of the absorption spectrum of the excitation light. Alternatively, the compound to be measured can be measured by depositing the compound to be measured on a substrate such as glass and applying excitation light to the deposition film. The band gap can be measured by measuring the absorption edge of the absorption spectrum where the deposition film absorbs the excitation light.

[0148] The LUMO energy level can be calculated using the band gap and the ionization potential: subtracting the ionization potential from the band gap gives the LUMO energy level.

[0149] The LUMO energy level can also be estimated from the reduction potential. For example, the one-electron reduction potential is estimated using cyclic volmetry (CV) measurements. CV measurements can be performed, for example, in a DMF solution of 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium perchlorate, using an Ag / Ag+ reference electrode, a Pt counter electrode, and a glassy carbon working electrode. The LUMO energy level can be estimated by adding the difference between the reduction potential of the obtained compound and the reduction potential of ferrocene, which is -4.8 eV.

[0150] In the organic light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention, when the organic compound according to the present invention is contained in the light-emitting layer, the light-emitting layer may be a layer consisting of only the organic compound according to the present invention, or may be a layer consisting of the organic compound according to the present invention and other compounds. Here, when the light-emitting layer is a layer consisting of the organic compound according to the present invention and other compounds, the organic compound according to the present invention may be used as a host material of the light-emitting layer, or may be used as a guest material. It may also be used as an assist material that can be contained in the light-emitting layer. Here, the host material is also called "host" or "first compound", and is a compound having the largest mass ratio among the compounds constituting the light-emitting layer. The guest material is also called "guest", "dopant material", "dopant", or "third compound", and is a compound having a smaller mass ratio than the host among the compounds constituting the light-emitting layer, and is a compound that is responsible for the main emission. Therefore, the guest material may also be called a light-emitting material. The assist material is also called "assist" or "second compound", and is a compound having a smaller mass ratio than the host material among the compounds constituting the light-emitting layer, and assists the emission of the guest material. The assist material is also called a second host.

[0151] Here, the lowest excited singlet energy of the host material is S1(H), the lowest excited singlet energy of the guest material is S1(D), and the lowest excited singlet energy of the assist material is S1(A). The guest material may be regarded as an organic compound according to the present invention. In this case, it is preferable that the organic light-emitting device according to this embodiment satisfies S1(H)>S1(D) or S1(H)>S1(A)>S1(D). When the lowest excited singlet energy of the compound contained in the organic light-emitting device according to this embodiment satisfies the above relationship, excitons can be efficiently transferred to the guest material, resulting in an organic light-emitting device with better luminous efficiency.

[0152] When the organic compound according to the present invention is used as a guest material in the light-emitting layer, the concentration of the guest material may be from 0.01% to less than 50% by mass, preferably from 0.01% to 10% by mass, and more preferably from 0.01% to 5% by mass, based on the entire light-emitting layer. When the light-emitting layer has an assist material, the assist material may be from 1% to less than 50% by mass, preferably from 10% to less than 50% by mass, based on the entire light-emitting layer.

[0153] The present inventors have conducted various studies and found that when the organic compound according to the present invention is used as a host material or guest material of the light-emitting layer, particularly as a guest material of the light-emitting layer, an element that exhibits high efficiency and high luminance light output and is extremely durable can be obtained. The light-emitting layer may be a single layer or multiple layers, and by including a light-emitting material having another light-emitting color, it is possible to mix the light emitted with the blue light-emitting color of this embodiment. Multiple layers means a state in which the light-emitting layer and another light-emitting layer are laminated. In this case, the light-emitting color of the organic light-emitting element is not limited to blue. More specifically, it may be white or an intermediate color. In the case of white, the other light-emitting layer emits a color other than blue, that is, red or green. In addition, the film is formed by deposition or coating. Details of this will be explained in detail in the examples described below.

[0154] The organic compound according to the present invention can be used as a constituent material of an organic compound layer other than the light-emitting layer constituting the organic light-emitting device according to the present embodiment. Specifically, it may be used as a constituent material of an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, a hole transport layer, a hole injection layer, a hole blocking layer, etc. In this case, the emission color of the organic light-emitting device is not limited to blue. More specifically, it may be white light or an intermediate color.

[0155] (3) Other compounds In addition to the organic compound according to the present invention, conventionally known low-molecular-weight and high-molecular-weight hole-injecting or hole-transporting compounds, host materials, light-emitting compounds, electron-injecting or electron-transporting compounds, etc. may be used together as necessary. Examples of these compounds are given below.

[0156] As the hole injection transport material, a material having a high hole mobility is preferable so that the injection of holes from the anode can be easily performed and the injected holes can be transported to the light emitting layer. In addition, in order to suppress the crystallization of the organic compound in the organic light emitting device, a material having a high glass transition temperature is preferable. Examples of low molecular weight and high molecular weight materials having hole injection transport performance include triarylamine derivatives, arylcarbazole derivatives, phenylenediamine derivatives, stilbene derivatives, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives, poly(vinylcarbazole), poly(thiophene), and other conductive polymers. Furthermore, the above hole injection transport material is also preferably used for the electron blocking layer. In addition, when the hole injection layer is prepared by a coating method, a mixture of polyethylenedioxythiophene and polystyrenesulfonic acid (PEDOT:PSS), which is generally used as a hole injection material, may be used. Specific examples of compounds used as the hole injection transport material are shown below, but of course, the present invention is not limited to these.

[0157] [ka]

[0158] Among the hole injection transport materials, HT16 to HT18 can reduce the driving voltage by using them in the layer in contact with the anode. HT16 is widely used in organic light emitting devices. HT2 to HT7, HT10, HT12, and HT22 to 28 may be used in the organic compound layer adjacent to HT16. Hole transporting polyphenylene vinylene (PPV), polyfluorene (PF), polyvinyl carbazole (PVK), and polymer compounds such as derivatives thereof may be used. In addition to these, for example, inorganic insulating layers such as SiO2 and SiN, and organic silicon polymers such as siloxane may be used. Also, a plurality of materials may be used in one organic compound layer.

[0159] The guest materials mainly involved in the light-emitting function include donor-acceptor type organic compounds, boron-containing complexes, indocarbazole fused ring compounds, fused ring compounds (e.g., fluorene derivatives, naphthalene derivatives, pyrene derivatives, perylene derivatives, tetracene derivatives, anthracene derivatives, rubrene, etc.), quinacridone derivatives, coumarin derivatives, stilbene derivatives, organoaluminum complexes such as tris(8-quinolinolato)aluminum, iridium complexes, platinum complexes, rhenium complexes, copper complexes, europium complexes, ruthenium complexes, and polymer derivatives such as poly(phenylenevinylene) derivatives, poly(fluorene) derivatives, and poly(phenylene) derivatives. When preparing the light-emitting layer by coating method, polymer compounds having light-emitting properties are mainly used. This is because polymer compounds tend to have a high glass transition temperature and are less likely to crystallize than low molecular weight systems. Specific examples of materials that can be used include polymer compounds such as polyphenylenevinylene (PPV), polyfluorene (PF), polyvinylcarbazole (PVK), and derivatives of these.

[0160] Specific examples of compounds that can be used as the light-emitting material are shown below, but the present invention is not limited to these.

[0161] [ka]

[0162] [ka]

[0163] Specific examples of compounds used as the host material or assist material contained in the light-emitting layer are shown below, but the present invention is not limited to these.

[0164] [ka]

[0165] The electron transporting material can be arbitrarily selected from those capable of transporting electrons injected from the cathode to the light-emitting layer, and is selected in consideration of the balance with the hole mobility of the hole transporting material. Examples of materials having electron transporting properties include oxadiazole derivatives, oxazole derivatives, pyrazine derivatives, triazole derivatives, triazine derivatives, quinoline derivatives, quinoxaline derivatives, phenanthroline derivatives, organic aluminum complexes, and condensed ring compounds (e.g., fluorene derivatives, naphthalene derivatives, chrysene derivatives, anthracene derivatives, etc.). Furthermore, the above-mentioned electron transporting materials are also suitable for use in hole blocking layers.

[0166] Specific examples of compounds usable as the electron transporting material are shown below, but the present invention is not limited to these.

[0167] [ka]

[0168] The electron injection material can be selected from those that can easily inject electrons from the cathode, taking into consideration the balance with hole injection properties. Organic compounds include n-type dopants and reducing dopants. Examples include compounds containing alkali metals such as lithium fluoride, lithium complexes such as lithium quinolinol, benzimidazolidene derivatives, imidazolidene derivatives, fulvalene derivatives, and acridine derivatives.

[0169] It can also be used in combination with the above-mentioned electron transport material.

[0170] The organic compound according to the present invention can also be used as an ink composition.

[0171] The ink composition according to the present embodiment contains at least one compound represented by general formula (1-1) or (1-2). By using the ink composition according to the present embodiment, a layer made of an organic compound constituting an organic light-emitting device, particularly a light-emitting layer, can be prepared by a coating method, and a large-area device can be easily prepared at a relatively low cost. Examples of solvents that dissolve the compound represented by general formula (1-1) or (1-2) include toluene, xylene, mesitylene, dioxane, methylnaphthalene, tetrahydrofuran, diglyme, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, and 1,2-dichloropropane. These solvents can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, it is preferable to use a solvent having a moderate evaporation rate, specifically a solvent having a boiling point of about 70 to 200° C., in terms of easiness in obtaining a thin film having a uniform thickness. In addition, the ink composition according to the present embodiment may contain other compounds that serve as additives. Examples of the compounds that serve as additives include the above-mentioned known light-emitting layer hosts or light-emitting assist materials, hole transport materials, light-emitting materials, and electron transport materials.

[0172] In the ink composition according to this embodiment, the concentration of the compound represented by general formula (1-1) or (1-2) is preferably from 0.05% by weight to 20% by weight, and more preferably from 0.1% by weight to 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.

[0173] The ink composition according to this embodiment can be used to form an organic layer of an organic light-emitting element, which will be described later, by forming a film by a method such as spin coating, bar coating, slit coating, inkjet printing, nozzle coating, casting, or gravure printing.

[0174] (4) Structure of organic light-emitting element Hereinafter, the components constituting the organic light-emitting device of this embodiment will be described.

[0175] The organic light-emitting element is provided by forming an insulating layer, a first electrode, an organic compound layer, and a second electrode on a substrate. A protective layer, a color filter, a microlens, etc. may be provided on the second electrode. When a color filter is provided, a planarizing layer may be provided between the protective layer. The planarizing layer may be made of acrylic resin, etc. The same applies when a planarizing layer is provided between the color filter and the microlens.

[0176] [substrate] Examples of the substrate include quartz, glass, silicon wafer, resin, and metal. In addition, a switching element such as a transistor and wiring may be provided on the substrate, and an insulating layer may be provided thereon. As the insulating layer, any material can be used as long as it can form a contact hole so that wiring can be formed between the first electrode and the insulating layer, and insulation from wiring that is not connected can be ensured. For example, resin such as polyimide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, etc. can be used.

[0177] [electrode] A pair of electrodes can be used. The pair of electrodes is a first electrode and a second electrode. Specifically, the pair of electrodes may be an anode and a cathode. When an electric field is applied in the direction in which the organic light-emitting element emits light, the electrode with a higher potential is the anode, and the other is the cathode. It can also be said that the electrode that supplies holes to the light-emitting layer is the anode, and the electrode that supplies electrons is the cathode.

[0178] The material constituting the anode should have as large a work function as possible. For example, metals such as gold, platinum, silver, copper, nickel, palladium, cobalt, selenium, vanadium, and tungsten, mixtures containing these metals, alloys combining these metals, and metal oxides such as tin oxide, zinc oxide, indium oxide, indium tin oxide (ITO), and indium zinc oxide can be used. Conductive polymers such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, and polythiophene can also be used.

[0179] These electrode materials may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds. The anode may be composed of one layer or multiple layers.

[0180] When used as a reflective electrode, for example, chromium, aluminum, silver, titanium, tungsten, molybdenum, or alloys or laminates thereof can be used. The above materials can also function as a reflective film without serving as an electrode. When used as a transparent electrode, a transparent conductive layer of oxide such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide can be used, but is not limited to these. Photolithography technology can be used to form the electrode.

[0181] The material for the cathode should have a small work function. Examples of the material include alkali metals such as lithium, alkaline earth metals such as calcium, aluminum, titanium, manganese, silver, lead, chromium, and other metals or mixtures containing these metals. Alternatively, alloys combining these metals can be used. For example, magnesium-silver, aluminum-lithium, aluminum-magnesium, silver-copper, zinc-silver, and the like can be used. Metal oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO) can also be used. These electrode materials may be used alone or in combination of two or more types. The cathode may have a single layer structure or a multi-layer structure. Among these, it is preferable to use silver, and it is even more preferable to use a silver alloy to reduce the aggregation of silver. As long as the aggregation of silver can be reduced, the ratio of the alloy is not important. For example, the ratio of silver to other metals may be 1:1, 3:1, and the like.

[0182] The cathode may be a top-emission element using an oxide conductive layer such as ITO, or a bottom-emission element using a reflective electrode such as aluminum (Al), and is not particularly limited. The method for forming the cathode is not particularly limited, but it is more preferable to use a direct current or alternating current sputtering method, etc., since the film coverage is good and the resistance can be easily reduced.

[0183] [Organic compound layer] The organic compound layer may be formed as a single layer or as multiple layers. When the organic compound layer has multiple layers, it may be called a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a light emitting layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc., depending on its function. The organic compound layer is mainly composed of an organic compound, but may also contain inorganic atoms and inorganic compounds. For example, it may contain copper, lithium, magnesium, aluminum, iridium, platinum, molybdenum, zinc, etc. The organic compound layer may be disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, or may be disposed in contact with the first electrode and the second electrode.

[0184] The organic compound layers (hole injection layer, hole transport layer, electron blocking layer, light emitting layer, hole blocking layer, electron transport layer, electron injection layer, etc.) constituting the organic light emitting device according to this embodiment are formed by the method shown below.

[0185] The organic compound layer constituting the organic light-emitting element according to this embodiment can be formed by a dry process such as a vacuum deposition method, an ionization deposition method, a sputtering method, a plasma method, etc. Alternatively to the dry process, a wet process can be used in which a layer is formed by dissolving the compound in an appropriate solvent and applying a known coating method (e.g., spin coating, dipping, casting, LB method, inkjet method, etc.).

[0186] Here, by forming a layer by a vacuum deposition method, a solution coating method, etc., crystallization is unlikely to occur and the layer has excellent stability over time. When forming a film by a coating method, the film can be formed by combining with a suitable binder resin.

[0187] Examples of the binder resin include, but are not limited to, polyvinylcarbazole resin, polycarbonate resin, polyester resin, ABS resin, acrylic resin, polyimide resin, phenol resin, epoxy resin, silicone resin, and urea resin.

[0188] These binder resins may be used alone or in combination as homopolymers or copolymers, and may further include known additives such as plasticizers, antioxidants, and ultraviolet absorbers, if necessary.

[0189] [Protective layer] A protective layer may be provided on the cathode. For example, by bonding glass provided with a moisture absorbent on the cathode, the intrusion of water and the like into the organic compound layer can be reduced, and the occurrence of display defects can be reduced. In another embodiment, a passivation film such as silicon nitride may be provided on the cathode to reduce the intrusion of water and the like into the organic compound layer. For example, after forming the cathode, the cathode may be transported to another chamber without breaking the vacuum, and a silicon nitride film having a thickness of 2 μm may be formed by the CVD method to form a protective layer. A protective layer may be provided using an atomic deposition method (ALD method) after the film formation by the CVD method. The material of the film formed by the ALD method is not limited, and may be silicon nitride, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, etc. Silicon nitride may be further formed by the CVD method on the film formed by the ALD method. The film formed by the ALD method may have a smaller thickness than the film formed by the CVD method. Specifically, the film formed by the ALD method may have a thickness of 50% or less, or even 10% or less, of the film formed by the CVD method.

[0190] [Color Filter] A color filter may be provided on the protective layer. For example, a color filter taking into consideration the size of the organic light-emitting element may be provided on another substrate and then bonded to the substrate on which the organic light-emitting element is provided, or a color filter may be patterned on the protective layer described above using a photolithography technique. The color filter may be made of a polymer.

[0191] [Planarization layer] A planarization layer may be provided between the color filter and the protective layer. The planarization layer is provided for the purpose of reducing unevenness of the layer below. It may also be called a material resin layer without limiting the purpose. The planarization layer may be composed of an organic compound, and may be either a low molecular weight or a high molecular weight, but is preferably a high molecular weight.

[0192] The planarization layer may be provided above and below the color filter, and may be made of the same or different materials.Specific examples of the materials include polyvinylcarbazole resin, polycarbonate resin, polyester resin, ABS resin, acrylic resin, polyimide resin, phenol resin, epoxy resin, silicone resin, and urea resin.

[0193] [Microlens] The organic light-emitting element according to this embodiment may have an optical member such as a microlens on the light emission side. The microlens may be made of acrylic resin, epoxy resin, or the like. The microlens may be intended to increase the amount of light extracted from the organic light-emitting element and control the direction of the extracted light. The microlens may have a hemispherical shape. When the microlens has a hemispherical shape, among the tangents to the hemisphere, there is a tangent that is parallel to the insulating layer, and the tangent and the hemisphere are the vertices of the microlens. The vertex of the microlens can be determined in the same manner in any cross-sectional view. That is, among the tangents to the semicircle of the microlens in the cross-sectional view, there is a tangent that is parallel to the insulating layer, and the tangent and the semicircle are the vertices of the microlens.

[0194] It is also possible to define the midpoint of the microlens. In the cross section of the microlens, a line segment is imaginary from the point where the shape of a circular arc starts to the point where the shape of another circular arc starts, and the midpoint of the line segment can be called the midpoint of the microlens. The cross section for determining the vertex and midpoint may be a cross section perpendicular to the insulating layer.

[0195] [Opposite substrate] A counter substrate may be provided on the planarization layer. The counter substrate is called a counter substrate because it is provided at a position corresponding to the aforementioned substrate. The material of the counter substrate may be the same as that of the aforementioned substrate. When the aforementioned substrate is a first substrate, the counter substrate may be a second substrate.

[0196] [Pixel circuit] The light emitting device may have a pixel circuit connected to the light emitting element. The pixel circuit may be an active matrix type that controls the emission of the first light emitting element and the second light emitting element independently. The active matrix type circuit may be a voltage programming circuit or a current programming circuit. The drive circuit has a pixel circuit for each pixel. The pixel circuit may have a light emitting element, a transistor that controls the emission luminance of the light emitting element, a transistor that controls the emission timing, a capacitance that holds the gate voltage of the transistor that controls the emission luminance, and a transistor for connecting to GND without going through the light emitting element.

[0197] The light-emitting device has a display region and a peripheral region disposed around the display region. The display region has a pixel circuit, and the peripheral region has a display control circuit. The mobility of a transistor constituting the pixel circuit may be smaller than the mobility of a transistor constituting the display control circuit.

[0198] The slope of the current-voltage characteristic of the transistor that constitutes the pixel circuit may be smaller than the slope of the current-voltage characteristic of the transistor that constitutes the display control circuit. The slope of the current-voltage characteristic can be measured by the so-called Vg-Ig characteristic.

[0199] The transistor that constitutes the pixel circuit is a transistor that is connected to a light-emitting element, such as the first light-emitting element.

[0200] [Pixels] An organic light emitting device includes a plurality of pixels, each of which includes sub-pixels that emit different colors, for example, RGB colors.

[0201] The pixel emits light in an area called the pixel aperture. This area is the same as the first area. The pixel aperture may be 15 μm or less, or 5 μm or more. More specifically, it may be 11 μm, 9.5 μm, 7.4 μm, 6.4 μm, etc.

[0202] The distance between the subpixels may be 10 μm or less, and specifically, may be 8 μm, 7.4 μm, or 6.4 μm.

[0203] The pixels may have a known arrangement in plan view. For example, they may be a stripe arrangement, a delta arrangement, a pentile arrangement, or a Bayer arrangement. The shape of the subpixels in plan view may be any known shape. For example, they may be a rectangle, a quadrangle such as a diamond, or a hexagon. Of course, if the shape is not an exact figure but is close to a rectangle, it is included in the rectangle. The shape of the subpixels and the pixel arrangement may be used in combination.

[0204] (5) Uses of the organic light-emitting device according to this embodiment The organic light-emitting device according to the present embodiment can be used as a component of a display device or a lighting device, and can also be used as an exposure light source for an electrophotographic image forming device, a backlight for a liquid crystal display device, a light-emitting device having a white light source and a color filter, etc.

[0205] The display device may be an image information processing device having an image input unit that inputs image information from an area CCD, a linear CCD, a memory card, etc., an information processing unit that processes the input information, and displays the input image on a display unit.

[0206] The display unit of the imaging device or inkjet printer may have a touch panel function. The driving method of the touch panel function may be an infrared type, a capacitance type, a resistive film type, or an electromagnetic induction type, and is not particularly limited. The display device may be used in the display unit of a multifunction printer.

[0207] Next, the display device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0208] 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of a display device having an organic light-emitting element and a transistor connected to the organic light-emitting element. The transistor is an example of an active element. The transistor may be a thin film transistor (TFT).

[0209] FIG. 1(a) shows an example of a pixel, which is a component of the display device according to this embodiment. The pixel has sub-pixels 10. The sub-pixels are divided into 10R, 10G, and 10B according to their light emission. The emitted light color may be distinguished by the wavelength emitted from the light-emitting layer, or the light emitted from the sub-pixel may be selectively transmitted or color-converted by a color filter or the like. Each sub-pixel has a reflective electrode 2, which is a first electrode, on an interlayer insulating layer 1, an insulating layer 3 covering the edge of the reflective electrode 2, an organic compound layer 4 covering the first electrode and the insulating layer, a transparent electrode 5, a protective layer 6, and a color filter 7.

[0210] A transistor and a capacitor may be disposed below or inside the interlayer insulating layer 1. The transistor and the first electrode may be electrically connected via a contact hole or the like (not shown).

[0211] The insulating layer 3 is also called a bank or a pixel separation film. It covers the edge of the first electrode and is disposed so as to surround the first electrode. The part where the insulating layer is not disposed contacts the organic compound layer 4 and becomes a light-emitting region.

[0212] The organic compound layer 4 has a hole injection layer 41 , a hole transport layer 42 , a first light emitting layer 43 , a second light emitting layer 44 , and an electron transport layer 45 .

[0213] The second electrode 5 may be a transparent electrode, a reflective electrode, or a semi-transparent electrode.

[0214] The protective layer 6 reduces the penetration of moisture into the organic compound layer. Although the protective layer is illustrated as being a single layer, it may be a multi-layer. Each layer may be an inorganic compound layer and an organic compound layer.

[0215] The color filters 7 are divided into 7R, 7G, and 7B according to their colors. The color filters may be formed on a planarization film (not shown). A resin protective layer (not shown) may be provided on the color filters. The color filters may be formed on a protective layer 6. Alternatively, the color filters may be provided on an opposing substrate such as a glass substrate and then bonded to each other.

[0216] The display device 100 in FIG. 1(b) includes an organic light-emitting element 26 and a TFT 18 as an example of a transistor. A substrate 11 made of glass, silicon, or the like is provided with an insulating layer 12 on the substrate. An active element 18 such as a TFT is provided on the insulating layer, and a gate electrode 13, a gate insulating film 14, and a semiconductor layer 15 of the active element are provided. The active element 18 also includes a semiconductor layer 15, a drain electrode 16, and a source electrode 17. An insulating film 19 is provided on the active element 18. An anode 21 constituting the organic light-emitting element 26 and the source electrode 17 are connected via a contact hole 20 provided in the insulating film.

[0217] The electrical connection between the electrodes (anode, cathode) included in the organic light-emitting element 26 and the electrodes (source electrode, drain electrode) included in the TFT is not limited to the embodiment shown in Fig. 1(b). In other words, it is sufficient that either the anode or the cathode is electrically connected to either the TFT source electrode or the drain electrode. TFT stands for thin film transistor.

[0218] 1(b), the organic compound layer 22 is illustrated as a single layer, but may be a multi-layer organic compound layer 22. A first protective layer 24 and a second protective layer 25 are provided on the cathode 23 to reduce deterioration of the organic light-emitting element.

[0219] Although transistors are used as switching elements in the display device 100 of FIG. 1(b), other switching elements may be used instead.

[0220] The transistor used in the display device 100 of Fig. 1(b) is not limited to a transistor using a single crystal silicon wafer, but may be a thin film transistor having an active layer on an insulating surface of a substrate. Examples of the active layer include single crystal silicon, amorphous silicon, non-single crystal silicon such as microcrystalline silicon, and non-single crystal oxide semiconductors such as indium zinc oxide and indium gallium zinc oxide. Thin film transistors are also called TFT elements.

[0221] The transistors included in the display device 100 of Fig. 1(b) may be formed in a substrate such as a Si substrate. Here, "formed in a substrate" means that the substrate itself such as a Si substrate is processed to produce the transistors. In other words, having a transistor in a substrate can be seen as the substrate and the transistor being integrally formed.

[0222] The organic light-emitting element according to this embodiment has its light emission brightness controlled by a TFT, which is an example of a switching element, and by providing the organic light-emitting element on a plurality of surfaces, an image can be displayed based on the respective light emission brightnesses. The switching element according to this embodiment is not limited to a TFT, and may be a transistor formed of low-temperature polysilicon, or an active matrix driver formed on a substrate such as a Si substrate. On the substrate may also be within the substrate. Whether to provide a transistor within the substrate or to use a TFT is selected according to the size of the display unit. For example, if the size is about 0.5 inches, it is preferable to provide the organic light-emitting element on a Si substrate.

[0223] 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display device according to the present embodiment. The display device 1000 may have a touch panel 1003, a display panel 1005, a frame 1006, a circuit board 1007, and a battery 1008 between an upper cover 1001 and a lower cover 1009.

[0228] Since the timing suitable for capturing an image is short, it is better to display information as soon as possible. Therefore, it is preferable to use a display device using the organic light-emitting element according to this embodiment, because the organic light-emitting element has a fast response speed.

[0229] The imaging device 1100 may further include an optical section (not shown).

[0240] The window 1502 may be a transparent display other than the window for checking the front and rear of the vehicle.

[0242] An application example of the display device of each of the above-mentioned embodiments will be described with reference to Fig. 6. The display device can be applied to a system that can be worn as a wearable device such as smart glasses, a head-mounted display, or a smart contact lens. A display device that can be used in a wearable device may have an imaging device capable of photoelectrically converting visible light, and a display device capable of emitting visible light.

[0243] FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing an example of glasses (smart glasses) according to this embodiment. Glasses 1600 (smart glasses) will be described with reference to FIG. 6(a). The glasses 1600 have a display unit on the rear side of a lens 1601. The display unit may have an organic light-emitting element according to the present invention. Furthermore, an imaging device 1602 such as a CMOS sensor or a SPAD may be provided on the front side of the lens 1601.

[0244] The glasses 1600 further include a control device 1603. The control device 1603 functions as a power source that supplies power to the image capture device 1602 and the display unit. The control device 1603 also controls the operations of the image capture device 1602 and the display unit. The lens 1601 is formed with an optical system for collecting light from the image capture device 1602 and the display unit.

[0245] The glasses 1610 (smart glasses) will be described with reference to FIG. 6(b). The glasses 1610 have a control device 1612, and the control device 1612 is provided with a display device having an organic light-emitting element according to the present invention. The control device 1612 may further have an imaging device corresponding to the imaging device 1602. An optical system for projecting light emitted from the control device 1612 is formed in the lens 1611, and an image is projected onto the lens 1611. The control device 1612 functions as a power source that supplies power to the imaging device and the display device, and controls the operation of the imaging device and the display device. The control device may have a line-of-sight detection unit that detects the line of sight of the wearer. Infrared light may be used for the detection of the line of sight. The infrared light emitting unit emits infrared light to the eyeball of a user gazing at a display image. Of the emitted infrared light, the imaging unit having a light receiving element detects the reflected light from the eyeball, thereby obtaining an image of the eyeball. By having a reduction means for reducing the light from the infrared light emitting unit to the display unit in a planar view, the deterioration of image quality is reduced.

[0246] The control device 1612 detects the user's line of sight with respect to the displayed image from the captured image of the eyeball obtained by capturing infrared light. Any known method can be applied to the line of sight detection using the captured image of the eyeball. As an example, a line of sight detection method can be used based on the Purkinje image formed by the reflection of irradiated light on the cornea.

[0247] More specifically, the gaze detection process is based on the pupil-corneal reflex method. Using the pupil-corneal reflex method, a gaze vector that represents the direction (rotation angle) of the eyeball is generated based on the pupil image and Purkinje image included in the captured image of the eyeball, thereby detecting the user's gaze.

[0248] The display device according to this embodiment may have an imaging device having a light receiving element, and may control the display image of the display device based on information about the user's line of sight from the imaging device.

[0249] Specifically, the display device determines a first field of view area to which the user gazes and a second field of view area other than the first field of view area based on the line-of-sight information. The first field of view area and the second field of view area may be determined by a control device of the display device, or may be received from an external control device. In the display area of ​​the display device, the display resolution of the first field of view area may be controlled to be higher than the display resolution of the second field of view area. In other words, the resolution of the second field of view area may be lower than that of the first field of view area.

[0250] The display area has a first field of view area and a second field of view area different from the first field of view area, and a high priority area is determined from the first field of view area and the second field of view area based on line-of-sight information. The first field of view area and the second field of view area may be determined by a control device of the display device, or may be determined by an external control device and received. The resolution of the high priority area may be controlled to be higher than the resolution of areas other than the high priority area. In other words, the resolution of an area with a relatively low priority may be lowered.

[0251] In addition, AI may be used to determine the first field of view area or the field of view area with high priority. The AI ​​may be a model configured to estimate the angle of the line of sight and the distance to the object at the end of the line of sight from the image of the eyeball, using the image of the eyeball and the direction in which the eyeball in the image was actually looking as teacher data. The AI ​​may be included in the display device, the imaging device, or an external device. When the external device has AI, it can be preferably applied to smart glasses further including an imaging device that captures images of the outside. The smart glasses can display captured external information in real time.

The developing unit 31 includes a toner, etc. The charging unit 30 charges the photoconductor 27. The transfer unit 32 transfers the developed image to a storage medium 34. The transport roller 33 transports the recording medium 34. The recording medium 34 is, for example, paper. The fixing unit 35 fixes the image formed on the recording medium 34.

[0253] 7(b) and 7(c) are diagrams showing the exposure light source 28, and are schematic diagrams showing a state in which a plurality of light-emitting sections 36 are arranged on a long substrate. Arrow 37 indicates the column direction in which the organic light-emitting elements are arranged. This column direction is the same as the direction of the axis about which the photoconductor 27 rotates. This direction can also be called the long axis direction of the photoconductor 27. FIG. 7(b) shows a form in which the light-emitting sections 36 are arranged along the long axis direction of the photoconductor 27. FIG. 7(c) shows a form different from FIG. 7(b), in which the light-emitting sections 36 are alternately arranged in the column direction in each of the first column and the second column. The first column and the second column are arranged at different positions in the row direction. In the first column, a plurality of light-emitting sections 36 are arranged at intervals. In the second column, the light-emitting sections 36 are located at positions corresponding to the intervals between the light-emitting sections 36 in the first column. That is, a plurality of light-emitting sections 36 are also arranged at intervals in the row direction. The arrangement in FIG. 7(c) can also be described as a grid-like arrangement, a houndstooth arrangement, or a checkerboard pattern.

[0254] As described above, by using a device using the organic light-emitting element according to this embodiment, it is possible to achieve a display with good image quality and stability even over a long period of time. EXAMPLES
