When referring to a function, the same hatch pattern may be used and no particular reference number may be given.

[0029] In addition, the position, size, range, etc. of each component shown in the drawings are not necessarily the same as in the actual embodiment, in order to facilitate understanding. Therefore, the disclosed invention may not necessarily represent the position, size, range, etc. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the position, size, range, etc. disclosed in the drawings.

[0030] The words "film" and "layer" may be interchangeable depending on the circumstances. For example, the term "conductive layer" can be replaced with "conductive film" Alternatively, for example, the term "insulating film" can be changed to " The term "insulating layer" may be changed to "insulating layer."

[0031] (Embodiment 1) In this embodiment, a display device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0032] The display device of the present embodiment has a light receiving device and a light emitting device in a display section. The display device of the above embodiment has a display section in which light-emitting devices are arranged in a matrix. The display unit can display an image. The display unit also includes a matrix of light receiving devices. The display unit also functions as a light receiving unit. In other words, it can be used as a touch sensor or a touch sensor to detect an image by detecting light with the light receiving part. It is possible to capture images and detect the proximity or contact of an object (such as a finger or pen). Furthermore, the display device of the present embodiment can use the light emitting device as a light source for a sensor. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a light receiving section and a light source separately from the display device, and the light receiving section and the light source can be easily mounted on the electronic device. The number of points can be reduced.

[0033] In the display device of this embodiment, when the light emitted by the light-emitting device included in the display portion is reflected by an object, The light-receiving device can detect the reflected light, so imaging and touch (near-touch) can be performed even in dark places. It is possible to detect

[0034] The display device of this embodiment has a function of displaying an image by using a light-emitting device. Thus, the light emitting device functions as a display device.

[0035] The light-emitting device is OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode). iode) and QLED(Quantum-dot Light Emitting Di) It is preferable to use an EL device such as an EL device having a light-emitting material and These include substances that emit fluorescence (fluorescent materials), substances that emit phosphorescence (phosphorescent materials), and inorganic compounds ( Quantum dot materials, etc.), materials that exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (Therma lly Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) As for light-emitting devices, micro LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are also used. Alternatively, an LED such as a light emitting diode (LED) can be used.

[0036] The display device of this embodiment has a function of detecting light by using a light receiving device.

[0037] When the light receiving device is used as an image sensor, the display device of the present embodiment is For example, the display device of the present embodiment can capture an image using a scanner. It can be used as:

[0038] For example, by using an image sensor to acquire data such as a fingerprint, palm print, or iris. That is, the display device of the present embodiment can incorporate a biometric authentication sensor. By incorporating a biometric authentication sensor in the display device, it is possible to provide a biometric authentication sensor separately from the display device. Compared to the case where a filter is provided, the number of parts in the electronic device can be reduced, and the electronic device can be made smaller and lighter. It is possible to achieve this.

[0039] In addition, the image sensor can be used to record information such as the user's facial expression, eye movement, or changes in pupil diameter. By analyzing the data, the user's physical and mental information can be obtained. Based on this information, the display and / or audio output contents can be changed. By doing so, for example, it will be possible to develop devices for VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Au Equipment for Enhanced Reality or Mixed Reality ) devices, it is possible to ensure that users can use the devices safely.

[0040] In addition, when the light receiving device is used as a touch sensor, the display device of the present embodiment The chair can be used to detect the proximity or contact of an object.

[0041] As the light receiving device, for example, a pn-type or pin-type photodiode is used. The light-receiving device is a photoelectric converter that detects the light incident on the device and generates an electric charge. It functions as a charge transfer device, and the amount of charge generated is determined based on the amount of light incident on it.

[0042] In particular, an organic photodiode having a layer containing an organic compound is used as the light receiving device. It is preferable that the organic photodiode is thin, lightweight, and large in area. In addition, since there is a high degree of freedom in shape and design, the present invention can be applied to a variety of display devices.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, an organic EL device is used as the light-emitting device and a An organic photodiode is used. The organic EL device and the organic photodiode are made on the same substrate. Therefore, it is possible to form an organic film on a display device using an organic EL device. A photodiode can be built in.

[0044] When trying to create all the layers that make up an OLED device and an organic photodiode, Organic photodiodes have the same structure as organic EL devices. Since there are many layers that can be shared, layers that can be shared can be deposited together, reducing the number of deposition processes. In addition, even if the number of film formations is the same, film formation can be suppressed only on some devices. By reducing the number of layers to be used, the effect of the misalignment of the deposition pattern can be reduced. Reduce the effect of dust (including tiny foreign objects called particles) adhering to the surface of the This makes it possible to increase the yield of manufacturing the display device. can.

[0045] For example, one of the pair of electrodes (common electrode) is shared by the light receiving device and the light emitting device. Also, for example, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron It is preferable that at least one of the injection layers is a layer common to the light receiving device and the light emitting device. In addition, for example, the active layer of the light receiving device and the light emitting layer of the light emitting device are separately fabricated, and The layers other than the above may be the same in the light-emitting device and the light-receiving device. In addition, since the light receiving device and the light emitting device have a common layer, the number of film formations and the number of masks can be reduced. Therefore, the manufacturing process and manufacturing costs of the display device can be reduced.

[0046] The layers common to the light-receiving device and the light-emitting device have the same function as the light-receiving device. In this specification, the function of the light emitting device may be different from that of the light emitting device. For example, the hole injection layer is a layer that injects positive electrons into the hole in a light-emitting device. It functions as a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer in a light receiving device. The injection layer functions as an electron injection layer in a light-emitting device and as an electron transport layer in a light-receiving device. It functions as a transport layer.

[0047] A display device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a light-receiving device and a light-emitting device in a display portion. The device has a first pixel electrode, an active layer, and a common electrode. The active layer includes a pixel electrode, a light-emitting layer, and a common electrode. The active layer is located on the first pixel electrode, and The light-emitting layer is located on the second pixel electrode and has a first organic compound. The common electrode is connected to the first pixel electrode through the active layer. The first pixel electrode has a portion overlapping the first electrode and a portion overlapping the second pixel electrode via the light emitting layer.

[0048] The light emitting device preferably further comprises a hole injection layer and an electron transport layer. The hole injection layer is in contact with the electrode that functions as an anode out of the second pixel electrode and the common electrode, and The electron transport layer includes a first compound and a second compound. The electron transport layer includes an electron transporting material. The first compound has an electron accepting property for the second compound. The HOMO level of the electron transport material is -5.7 eV or more and -5.4 eV or less. Electron mobility at 6.0 eV or more and the square root of the electric field strength [V / cm] is 600 is 1×10 -7 cm 2 / Vs or more 5×10 -5 cm 2 / Vs or less.

[0049] Alternatively, the light-emitting device preferably further comprises an electron transport layer. The transport layer includes an electron transporting material and a first substance. The first substance may be a metal, a metal salt, or a The electron transport layer is a metal oxide or an organometallic complex. The electron transport layer comprises a first region, a second region, and The first region and the second region have different concentrations of the first substance. When the first region is located closer to the light emitting layer than the second region, the first region is In all the electron transporting materials, the concentration of the first substance is preferably high. .0 eV or more, and the electron mobility at the square root of the electric field strength [V / cm] is 600 1×10 -7 cm 2 / Vs or more 5×10 -5 cm 2 It is preferable that the value is equal to or less than / Vs.

[0050] In the light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention, holes are easily injected into the light-emitting layer, and electrons are easily injected into the light-emitting layer. This structure is such that holes are easily injected from the anode side, and the current from the cathode side to the light-emitting layer is small. By suppressing the amount of injected electrons, it is possible to prevent the light-emitting layer from becoming in an electron-excess state. As time passes, electrons are injected into the light-emitting layer, causing the brightness to increase. Initial deterioration can be offset by increasing the temperature. Initial deterioration is suppressed, resulting in a very long operating life. By using a light-emitting device, reliability can be improved. The light emitting device used in the display device will be described in detail in the second embodiment.

[0051] In the display surface of the display device according to one embodiment of the present invention, light emitted from the light-emitting device is extracted, and The light that is irradiated to the light receiving device passes through the light receiving device. It is preferable that the light-emitting device has a light-shielding layer on the display surface side. The light is taken out of the display device through an opening (or an area where no light-shielding layer is provided). It is preferable that the light receiving device has an opening in the light shielding layer (or an area where the light shielding layer is not provided). It is preferable that the light is irradiated through a light receiving portion (region).

[0052] The light receiving device detects light emitted by the light emitting device and reflected by the object. The light emitted from the light emitting device is reflected in the display device and enters the light receiving device without passing through the object. Such stray light may become noise during light detection, and the S / N ratio (S This is a factor that reduces the signal-to-noise ratio. By providing a light-shielding layer on the display surface side of the light-receiving device, the effects of stray light can be suppressed. This makes it possible to reduce noise and increase the sensitivity of sensors that use light-receiving devices. Cut.

[0053] The closer the light-shielding layer is to the light-emitting device, the more it can suppress stray light from the light-emitting device in the display device. This increases the sensitivity of the sensor. The lower the angle, the more the contrast loss and chromaticity change are suppressed when the display device is viewed from an oblique angle. This improves the viewing angle characteristics of the display. The farther away the object is, the narrower the area of ​​the imaging range of the light receiving device can be, and the higher the imaging resolution. The degree can be increased.

[0054] Therefore, in one aspect of the present invention, the distance from the light-shielding layer to the light-receiving device and the distance from the light-shielding layer to the light-emitting device are A structure (e.g. a resin layer) is placed on the surface on which the light-shielding layer is formed so that there is a difference between the distance to the device and the By adjusting the layout and thickness of the structure, This allows the distance from the light-shielding layer to the light-emitting device to be increased and the distance from the light-shielding layer to the light-emitting device to be reduced. This reduces sensor noise, increases image resolution, and reduces viewing angle dependency of the display. Therefore, both the display quality and the image quality of the display device can be improved. can be increased.

[0055] Specifically, the display device according to one embodiment of the present invention further includes a resin layer, a light-shielding layer, and a substrate. It is preferable that the resin layer and the light-shielding layer are each located between the common electrode and the substrate. is preferred.

[0056] At least a part of the light emitted by the light emitting device is extracted to the outside of the substrate through the resin layer. At least a part of the light that passes through the substrate is incident on the light-receiving device without passing through the resin layer. For example, the resin layer has an opening that overlaps with the light receiving device. It is placed like an island, overlapping with the chair.

[0057] The resin layer is provided at a position overlapping the light-emitting device and is not provided at a position overlapping the light-receiving device. Therefore, the distance from the light-shielding layer to the light-emitting device is This makes it possible to improve both the display quality and the image quality of the display device. can be increased.

Therefore, the light-emitting device preferably has a pair of electrodes. One of the electrodes has a semi-transparent and semi-reflective electrode that is transparent and reflective to visible light. It is preferable that the other electrode has a reflectivity to visible light (reflective electrode). It is preferable that the light-emitting device has a microcavity structure, so that the light-emitting layer can be easily obtained. The emitted light can be made to resonate between the two electrodes, thereby enhancing the light emitted from the light-emitting device.

[0090] The semi-transparent / semi-reflective electrode is a combination of a reflective electrode and an electrode that is transparent to visible light (transparent electrode). In this specification and the like, they are referred to as semi-transparent and semi-reflective, respectively. The reflective electrode, which functions as a part of the reflective electrode, is called a pixel electrode or a common electrode, and the transparent electrode is called a light-emitting electrode.

[0093] The light emitting device 190 has a function of emitting visible light. By applying a voltage between the pixel electrode 191 and the common electrode 115, light is emitted toward the substrate 152. (See Emission 21.)

[0094] The light-emitting layer 193 is preferably formed so as not to overlap the light-receiving device 110. This can prevent the light emitting layer 193 from absorbing the light 22, and the light 22 is not irradiated to the light receiving device 110. The amount of light emitted can be increased.

[0095] The pixel electrode 181 is connected to the transistor 41 through an opening provided in the insulating layer 214. It is electrically connected to the source or drain.

[0096] The pixel electrode 191 is connected to the transistor 42 through an opening provided in the insulating layer 214. The transistor 42 is electrically connected to the source or drain of the light emitting device 190. It has the function of controlling the drive of the

[0097] The transistor 41 and the transistor 42 are in contact with each other on the same layer (substrate 151 in FIG. 2). There are.

[0098] At least a part of the circuit electrically connected to the light receiving device 110 is a light emitting device 190. It is preferable that the circuit is formed of the same material and in the same process as the circuit to which it is electrically connected. This makes it possible to reduce the thickness of the display device compared to when the two circuits are formed separately. In addition, the manufacturing process can be simplified.

[0099] The light receiving device 110 and the light emitting device 190 are each covered with a protective layer 116. In FIG. 2, the protective layer 116 is provided on and in contact with the common electrode 115. The protective layer 116 prevents the light receiving device 110 and the light emitting device 190 from being exposed to water, etc. The intrusion of impurities is suppressed, and the reliability of the light receiving device 110 and the light emitting device 190 is improved. In addition, the adhesive layer 142 adheres the protective layer 116 to the substrate 152. They are combined.

[0100] A light-shielding layer 158 is provided on the surface of the substrate 152 facing the substrate 151. The light-shielding layer 158 is The light-emitting device 190 and the light-receiving device 110 have openings at positions overlapping each other. In this specification and the like, the position overlapping with the light-emitting device 190 specifically means the position It refers to a position overlapping with the light emitting region of the optical device 190. Similarly, it refers to a position overlapping with the light receiving device 110. Specifically, the position refers to a position that overlaps with the light receiving region of the light receiving device 110.

[0101] Here, the light emitted by the light emitting device 190 is received by the light receiving device 110 after being reflected by the object. However, the light emitted by the light emitting device 190 is reflected within the display device 10 and is not detected by the object. In some cases, the light may enter the light receiving device 110 without passing through the light shielding layer 158. For example, when the light-shielding layer 158 is not provided, the influence of stray light can be suppressed. In this case, light 23 emitted by the light-emitting device 190 is reflected by the substrate 152, and the reflected light 24 is received by the light-receiving device. By providing the light shielding layer 158, the reflected light 24 may be incident on the light receiving device 110. This can reduce noise and prevent light from being incident on the light receiving device 110. The sensitivity of the sensor using 110 can be increased.

[0102] The light-shielding layer 158 may be made of a material that blocks light emitted from the light-emitting device. The layer 158 preferably absorbs visible light. For example, a metal material may be used as the light-shielding layer 158. Or, black using a resin material containing a pigment (carbon black, etc.) or a dye. The light-shielding layer 158 can be formed as a matrix. The color filter may have a laminated structure of a white filter and a blue color filter.

[0103] [Display device 10A] FIG. 3A shows a cross-sectional view of a display device 10A. Description of the same configuration as the display device described above may be omitted.

[0104] The display device 10A differs from the display device 10 in that a resin layer 159 is provided.

[0106] The resin layer 159 is disposed at a position overlapping the light emitting device 190 as shown in FIG. The light receiving device 110 is provided with an opening 159p at a position overlapping the light receiving device 110. Alternatively, the resin layer 159 may be, for example, a light-emitting device, as shown in FIG. 190 and is provided in an island shape at a position overlapping the light receiving device 110. It is possible to provide a configuration in which

[0107] A light-shielding layer 158 is formed on the surface of the substrate 152 facing the substrate 151 and on the surface of the resin layer 159 facing the substrate 151. The light-shielding layer 158 is provided at a position where it overlaps the light-emitting device 190 and at a position where it overlaps the light-receiving device 190. It has an opening at a position where it overlaps with chair 110.

[0108] For example, the light blocking layer 158 transmits light through the resin layer 159 and is reflected by the surface of the substrate 152 on the substrate 151 side. The light blocking layer 158 can absorb the stray light 23 a before it reaches the resin layer 159. This allows the stray light 23b to be absorbed. Therefore, the noise can be reduced, and the sensor using the light receiving device 110 can be In particular, the light shielding layer 158 is located close to the light emitting device 190. In this case, it is preferable that the light-shielding layer 158 is located in the vicinity of the light-emitting device 19 in order to reduce stray light. If it is located close to 0, the viewing angle dependency of the display can be suppressed, from the viewpoint of improving the display quality. It is also preferred from the perspective.

[0109] In addition, the light-shielding layer 158 is provided to control the range in which the light-receiving device 110 detects light. When the light-shielding layer 158 is located away from the light-receiving device 110, the imaging range is This narrows the aperture, allowing for improved imaging resolution.

[0110] When the resin layer 159 has an opening, the light-shielding layer 158 covers at least a part of the opening and the It is preferable to cover at least a part of the side surface of the resin layer 159 exposed in the opening.

[0111] When the resin layer 159 is provided in an island shape, the light blocking layer 158 is formed on at least a portion of the side surface of the resin layer 159. It is preferable that the insulating layer 10 covers at least a part of the insulating layer 10 .

[0112] In this way, the light-shielding layer 158 is provided along the shape of the resin layer 159. to the light-emitting device 190 (specifically, the light-emitting area of ​​the light-emitting device 190) is From the light-shielding layer 158 to the light-receiving device 110 (specifically, the light-receiving region of the light-receiving device 110) This allows the sensor noise to be reduced while still improving the image resolution. It is therefore possible to improve the image quality and suppress the viewing angle dependency of the display. This makes it possible to improve both the display quality and the imaging quality.

[0113] The resin layer 159 is a layer that transmits light emitted from the light emitting device 190. Examples include acrylic resin, polyimide resin, epoxy resin, polyamide resin, and polyimide a Amido resin, siloxane resin, benzocyclobutene resin, phenolic resin, and their derivatives The structure provided between the substrate 152 and the light-shielding layer 158 is The insulating layer is not limited to a resin layer, and an inorganic insulating film or the like may be used. There is a difference between the distance from the light-receiving layer to the light-emitting device and the distance from the light-shielding layer to the light-emitting device. Since an organic insulating film such as a resin can be easily formed thick, it is suitable for the structure. It is.

[0114] The distance from the light-shielding layer 158 to the light-receiving device 110 and the distance from the light-shielding layer 158 to the light-emitting device 19 0, for example, the end of the light-shielding layer 158 on the light-receiving device 110 side is compared with the shortest distance L1 from the end of the light-shielding layer 158 on the light-emitting device 190 side to the common electrode 115, The shortest distance L2 from the portion to the common electrode 115 can be used. In all, the shortest distance L2 is short, so that stray light from the light-emitting device 190 is suppressed and the light-receiving device The sensitivity of the sensor using the sensor 110 can be improved. In addition, the viewing angle dependency of the display can be suppressed. Since the shortest distance L1 is longer than the shortest distance L2, the light receiving device 1 The imaging range of the imaging lens 10 can be narrowed, and the imaging resolution can be increased.

[0115] In addition, the adhesive layer 142 has a portion overlapping the light-receiving device 190, which is smaller than the portion overlapping the light-emitting device 190. Even if the portion overlapping with 110 is made thick, the distance from the light-shielding layer 158 to the light-receiving device 110 can be reduced. and the distance from the light-shielding layer 158 to the light-emitting device 190. can be done.

By simply adding a step of depositing the layer 183, the light receiving device can be formed in parallel with the formation of the light emitting device 190. In addition, the light emitting device 190 and the light receiving device 110 can be formed. Therefore, the number of manufacturing steps can be reduced without significantly increasing.

[0136] [Display device 10F, 10G, 10H] FIG. 5C shows a cross-sectional view of the display device 10F. FIG. 6A shows a cross-sectional view of the display device 10G. FIG. 6B shows a cross-sectional view of the display device 10H.

[0137] The display device 10F includes a lens 149 in addition to the configuration of the display device 10D.

[0138] The display device of the present embodiment may have a lens 149. The lens 149 is a light receiving device. In the display device 10F, the lens 149 is disposed on the substrate 110. The lens 149 of the display device 10F is disposed on the substrate 151 side. has a convex surface.

[0139] When both the light-shielding layer 158 and the lens 149 are formed on the same surface of the substrate 152, the order of formation is as follows: In FIG. 5C, an example in which the lens 149 is formed first is shown, but it is also possible to form the light-shielding layer 158 first. In FIG. 5C, the end of the lens 149 is covered with a light-shielding layer 158. is.

[0140] The display device 10F is configured such that light 22 enters the light receiving device 110 via a lens 149. When the lens 149 is provided, the light receiving device 1 is more accurate than when the lens 149 is not provided. The imaging range of the light receiving device 10 can be narrowed, and the imaging range of the light receiving device 110 overlaps with that of the adjacent light receiving device 110. This makes it possible to capture clear images with less blurring. If the imaging range of the device 110 is the same, the imaging range of the device 110 with the lens 149 is different from that of the device 110 without the lens 149. In FIG. 5C, the size of the pinhole (the light shielding portion overlapping with the light receiving device 110) is smaller than that in the case without the pinhole. (corresponding to the size of the aperture in layer 158) can be made larger. By providing the light receiving device 110 with the light receiving element 49, the amount of light incident on the light receiving device 110 can be increased.

[0141] In the display device 10G shown in FIG. 6A, similarly to the display device 10F, the light 22 passes through a lens 149. In this configuration, the light is incident on the light receiving device 110 via a filter.

[0142] In the display device 10G, a lens 149 is provided in contact with the upper surface of the protective layer 116. The lens 149 of the device 10G has a convex surface facing the substrate 152 side.

[0143] In the display device 10H shown in FIG. 6(B), a lens array 146 is provided on the display surface side of the substrate 152. The lenses of the lens array 146 are arranged at positions overlapping the light receiving device 110. A light-shielding layer 158 is provided on the surface of the substrate 152 facing the substrate 151. It is preferred.

[0144] The method for forming the lenses used in the display device of the present embodiment is to form a lens on a substrate or a light receiving device. A lens such as a microlens may be formed directly on the substrate, or a microlens may be formed separately. A lens array such as a lens array may be attached to the substrate.

[0145] The lens preferably has a refractive index of 1.3 to 2.5. For example, the insulating layer 10 may be formed using a material containing a resin. The lens can be made of a material containing at least one of an oxide and a sulfide. It can be used in lenses.

[0146] Specifically, resins containing chlorine, bromine, or iodine, resins containing heavy metal atoms, resins containing aromatic rings, Resins containing sulfur and resins containing sulfur can be used for the lenses. Materials containing nanoparticles of materials with higher refractive indexes can be used for lenses. Alternatively, zirconium oxide or the like can be used for the nanoparticles.

[0147] Also, cerium oxide, hafnium oxide, lanthanum oxide, magnesium oxide, niobium oxide, Tantalum oxide, titanium oxide, yttrium oxide, zinc oxide, oxides containing indium and tin The lens can be made of a material such as a material containing indium, gallium, and zinc. Alternatively, zinc sulfide or the like can be used for the lenses.

[0148] [Display device 10J] FIG. 6C shows a cross-sectional view of the display device 10J.

[0149] The display device 10J does not have a partition wall 216 that transmits visible light, but has a partition wall 217 that blocks visible light. The display device 10 differs from the display device 10D in that respect.

[0150] The partition 217 preferably absorbs the light emitted by the light emitting device 190. For example, a black matrix is ​​formed using a resin material containing a pigment or a dye. In addition, by using a brown resist material, the partition wall 21 can be formed with a colored insulating layer. 7 can be configured.

[0151] In the display device 10D (FIG. 5A), the light emitted by the light emitting device 190 is reflected by the substrate 152. The light may be reflected by the partition wall 216 and enter the light receiving device 110. Light emitted by the light emitting device 190 passes through the partition wall 216 and is reflected by a transistor, wiring, or the like. As a result, reflected light may be incident on the light receiving device 110. The light is absorbed by the partition 217, and the reflected light is not reflected by the light receiving device 110. This can reduce noise and improve the usability of the light receiving device 110. The sensitivity of the sensor can be increased.

[0152] The partition 217 preferably absorbs at least the wavelength of light detected by the light receiving device 110. For example, the light receiving device 110 detects green light emitted by the light emitting device 190. In this case, it is preferable that the partition 217 absorbs at least green light. 7, but with a red color filter, it can absorb green light and receive reflected light. This can prevent the light from entering the device 110.

[0153] The light blocking layer 158 can absorb most of the stray light 23b before it reaches the resin layer 159. A part of the stray light 23b may be reflected and enter the partition 217. In the case where the stray light 23b is configured to absorb the stray light, it is possible to prevent the stray light 23b from being incident on a transistor, wiring, or the like. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the stray light 23c from reaching the light receiving device 110. The more times the stray light 23b hits the light blocking layer 158 and the partition wall 217, the greater the amount of light that is absorbed. , and the amount of stray light 23c reaching the light receiving device 110 can be significantly reduced. If the resin layer 159 is thick, the stray light 23b may be blocked by the light blocking layer 158 and the partition wall 217. This is preferable because it increases the number of hits.

[0154] In addition, the partition 217 absorbs light, so that the light directly enters the partition 217 from the light-emitting device 190. The stray light 23d incident thereon can be absorbed by the partition wall 217. By providing the wall 217, the amount of stray light entering the light receiving device 110 can be reduced.

[0155] [Display device 10K] 7A shows a top view of the display device 10K. FIG. 8A shows a cross-sectional view taken along the dashed line A1-A2 in FIG. A cross-sectional view of section 4 is shown.

[0157] The top surface shapes of the light receiving device 110 and the light emitting devices 190R, 190G, and 190B are not particularly limited. The pixel layout shown in FIG. 7(A) is of the hexagonal close-packed type. By adopting a hexagonal close-packed layout, the light receiving device 110 and the light emitting device 19 This is preferable because it is possible to increase the aperture ratio of 0R, 190G, and 190. The light receiving area of ​​device 110 is rectangular, and light emitting devices 190R, 190G, and 190B Each of the light emitting regions is hexagonal.

[0158] When viewed from above (or in a plan view), the light receiving device 110 is formed of a frame-shaped light blocking layer 219a. The light receiving device 110 is completely surrounded by the light shielding layer 219a. This can prevent stray light from entering the light receiving device 110. may have gaps (also called gaps, broken parts, or missing parts) .

[0159] When viewed from above, between the green light-emitting device 190G and the blue light-emitting device 190B , a spacer 219b is provided.

[0163] The light-emitting device 190B includes a pixel electrode 191B, a common layer 112, a light-emitting layer 193B, and a common layer 1 The light-emitting layer 193B has an organic compound that emits blue light 21B. The light emitting device 190B has a function of emitting blue light.

[0164] The light receiving device 110 includes a pixel electrode 181, a common layer 112, an active layer 183, a common layer 114, and a common electrode 115. The active layer 183 includes an organic compound. 0 has the function of detecting visible light.

[0165] The display device 10K includes a light receiving device 110 between a pair of substrates (substrate 151 and substrate 152). , light emitting device 190R, light emitting device 190G, light emitting device 190B, transistor 41, a transistor 42R, a transistor 42G, and a transistor 42B.

[0166] The ends of the pixel electrodes 181, 191R, 191G, and 191B are separated by partition walls 216. It is covered with

[0167] The pixel electrode 181 is connected to the transistor 41 through an opening provided in the insulating layer 214. The pixel electrode 191R is provided on the insulating layer 214 and is electrically connected to the source or drain. The source or drain of the transistor 42R is electrically connected through the opening. Similarly, the pixel electrode 191G is connected to the transistor through an opening provided in the insulating layer 214. The pixel electrode 1 is electrically connected to the source or drain of the transistor 42G. 91B is connected to the source of the transistor 42B through an opening in the insulating layer 214. Or, it is electrically connected to the drain.

[0168] The light receiving device 110 and the light emitting devices 190R, 190G, and 190B are each It is covered by layer 116.

[0169] A resin layer 159 is provided on the surface of the substrate 152 facing the substrate 151. The resin layer 159 is The light receiving device 11 is provided at a position overlapping the light emitting devices 190R, 190G, and 190B. It cannot be set at a position that overlaps with 0.

[0170] A light-shielding layer 158 is formed on the surface of the substrate 152 facing the substrate 151 and on the surface of the resin layer 159 facing the substrate 151. The light-shielding layer 158 is provided to shield the light-emitting devices 190R, 190G, and 190B. It has openings at positions overlapping with these and at a position overlapping with the light receiving device 110 .

[0171] In the top view, the partition wall 216 has a frame-shaped opening. 216 has an opening between the light receiving device 110 and the light emitting device 190R. The light-shielding layer 219a is provided to cover the opening. It is preferable that the light-shielding layer 219 covers the opening and the side surface of the partition wall 216 exposed at the opening. It is further preferable that a covers at least a part of the upper surface of the partition wall 216 .

[0172] Alternatively, the partition wall 216 may not have an opening, and the light-shielding layer 219a may be provided on the partition wall 216. However, there is a possibility that stray light may pass through the partition 216 and enter the light-receiving device 110. An opening is provided in 216, and a light-shielding layer 219a is provided to fill the opening. Stray light transmitted through the partition 216 is absorbed by the light blocking layer 219a at the opening of the partition 216. This can prevent stray light from entering the light receiving device 110.

[0173] The light-shielding layer 219a preferably has a forward tapered shape. The films (common layer 112, common layer 114, common electrode 115, protective layer 116, etc.) provided on the ) can be improved in coverage.

[0174] The light-shielding layer 219a absorbs at least the wavelength of light detected by the light-receiving device 110. For example, it is preferable that the light receiving device 110 detects green light emitted by the light emitting device 190G. In this case, it is preferable that the light-shielding layer 219a absorbs at least green light. If the light-shielding layer 219a has a red color filter, it can absorb green light. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the reflected light from entering the light receiving device 110. Alternatively, the black matrix may be formed using a resin material containing a dye. The optical layer 219a includes a red color filter, a green color filter, and a blue color filter. Alternatively, the light-shielding layer 219a may be made of a brown resist material. A colored insulating layer may be formed by applying a coloring agent to the insulating layer.

[0175] For example, when the light receiving device 110 detects green light emitted by the light emitting device 190G, The light emitted by the light emitting device 190G is reflected by the substrate 152 and the partition wall 216. The light emitted by the light emitting device 190G may enter the optical device 110. The reflected light is transmitted through the light receiving element 216 and reflected by a transistor or wiring. In the display device 10K, the light may be incident on the light-shielding layer 158 and the light-shielding layer 219a. Thus, the light is absorbed, and the reflected light is prevented from entering the light receiving device 110. This reduces noise and improves the sensitivity of the sensor using the light receiving device 110. It can be improved.

[0176] For example, the light blocking layer 158 can absorb much of the stray light 23b before it reaches the resin layer 159. Furthermore, even if a part of the stray light 23b is reflected by the light-shielding layer 158, the light-shielding layer 219a can prevent the stray light 23b from being reflected by the light-shielding layer 158. By absorbing 3b, it is possible to prevent stray light 23b from being incident on a transistor, wiring, etc. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the stray light from reaching the light receiving device 110. The more times the light hits the light-shielding layers 158 and 219a, the more the amount of light absorbed. Therefore, the amount of stray light reaching the light receiving device 110 can be significantly reduced. If the thickness of 159 is large, the number of times that the stray light 23b hits the light shielding layer 158 and the light shielding layer 219a increases. If the resin layer 159 is thick, the light of each color can be prevented from penetrating through the light blocking layer 158. The distance to the light-emitting device is shortened, suppressing the viewing angle dependency of the display, improving the display quality. This is also preferable from the standpoint of improvement.

[0177] In addition, the light-shielding layer 219a absorbs light, so that light from the light-emitting device is directly absorbed by the light-shielding layer 219a. The incident stray light 23d can be absorbed by the light blocking layer 219a. In addition, by providing the light-shielding layer 219a, stray light incident on the light-receiving device 110 can be reduced. can be done.

[0178] In addition, the light-shielding layer 158 is provided to control the range in which the light-receiving device 110 detects light. If the distance from the light-shielding layer 158 to the light-receiving device 110 is long, the imaging range becomes narrow. This makes it possible to improve the imaging resolution.

[0179] The spacer 219b is located on the partition wall 216 and is adjacent to the light emitting device 19 in a top view. 0G and the light emitting device 190B. The upper surface of the spacer 219b is It is preferable that the thickness L3 of the light-shielding layer 219a is closer to the light-shielding layer 158 than the upper surface of the light-shielding layer 219a. When the sum L4 of the thickness of the wall 216 and the thickness of the spacer 219b is equal to or larger than the sum L4, the frame-shaped light-shielding layer 21 The adhesive layer 142 is not sufficiently filled inside the 9a, and the light receiving device 110 and further the display device Therefore, the thickness of the partition 216 and the spacer 21 The sum L4 of the thicknesses of the light-shielding layer 219a and the light-shielding layer 219b is preferably greater than the thickness L3 of the light-shielding layer 219a. This makes it easier to fill the adhesive layer 142. In the area where 19b and the light-shielding layer 158 overlap, the light-shielding layer 158 is connected to the protective layer 116 (or It may be in contact with a conducting electrode 115).

The light emitting layer 193G emits blue light, and the light emitting layer 193B emits blue light.

[0183] In FIG. 8B, the EL layer is represented by a common layer 112, a light-emitting layer 113, and a common layer 114. However, the light-emitting device is not limited to this.

A transparent electrode on a reflective electrode can be used as the optical adjustment layer. The devices preferably have optical adjustment layers 197 of different thicknesses. The light-emitting device 190G shown in FIG. 1 has an optical distance between the pixel electrode 191G and the common electrode 115. The optical adjustment layer 197G is used to adjust the optical distance so as to enhance the green light. Similarly, the light-emitting device 190B has an optical distance between the pixel electrode 191B and the common electrode 115. The optical adjustment layer 197B is used to adjust the optical distance so that the optical distance enhances blue light. is.

[0186] [Display device 10M] FIG. 9A shows a top view of a display device 10M. FIG. 9B shows a part of FIG. A cross-sectional view taken along the dashed line A5-A6 is shown.

[0188] As in the display device 10M, the light-shielding layer 219a is disposed between the light-emitting device 190R and the light-receiving device 11. 0 and between light emitting device 190G and light emitting device 190B. good.

[0189] [Display device 10N] FIG. 10(A) shows a top view of the display device 10N. FIG. 10(B) shows the display device 10N shown in FIG. FIG. 11(A) shows a cross-sectional view of the dashed line A7-A8 in FIG. A cross-sectional view between line A9-A10 is shown.

[0190] The cross-sectional structure of the display device 10N (FIG. 10(A)) taken along the dashed line A3-A4 is A configuration similar to that of the display device 10K (FIG. 8(A)) can be applied. Alternatively, the display device 10M (FIG. 9(B)) ) may be applied.

[0191] The display device 10N has a top surface shape and a cross-sectional shape of the light-shielding layer 219a similar to those of the display device 10K (FIG. 7( A) and FIG. 7(B)).

[0192] When viewed from above (or in a plan view), the light-shielding layer 219a is arranged to surround the four sides of the light-receiving device 110. The light-shielding layer 219a has a gap 220 ( The gap, interruption, or missing part is a red light-emitting device 190 The light source used for sensing is a light-emitting device of a specific color. In this case, a light-shielding layer 21 is provided on the side of a light-emitting device different from the light-emitting device used for the sensing. It is preferable that the gap 220 of 9a is located in the display device 10N. For example, in the display device 10N, A structure for performing sensing using a light emitting device 190G or a blue light emitting device 190B. This makes it possible to suppress the influence of noise during sensing. When sensing is performed using the green light-emitting device 190G, as shown in region 230, , one end of the light-shielding layer 219a is closer to the red light-emitting device 190G than the green light-emitting device 190G. It is preferable that the green light emitting device 190G protrudes toward the 190R side. This can prevent stray light from entering the light receiving device 110 through the gap 220.

[0193] The partition 216 has an opening between the light receiving device 110 and the light emitting device 190R. A light-shielding layer 219a is provided to cover the opening. It is preferable that the light-shielding layer 216 covers the opening of the light-shielding layer 216 and the side surface of the partition wall 216 exposed at the opening. Preferably, 19 a also covers at least a portion of the upper surface of partition wall 216 .

[0194] The light-shielding layer 219a may have an inverse tapered shape. The thickness of the organic film and the common electrode 115 to be shielded is thinner near the side of the light-shielding layer 219a. Furthermore, a gap 160 may occur near the side surface of the light blocking layer 219a.

[0195] Here, the light-shielding layer 219a surrounds all four sides of the light-receiving device 110 when viewed from above. When the light-shielding layer 219a is turned on, the common electrode 115 is cut off by the light-shielding layer 219a, and the inside and outside of the light-shielding layer 219a are separated. There is a risk that the common electrode 115 will be separated from the light shielding layer 219a. The shape of the light receiving device 110 is such that it surrounds the four sides of the light receiving device 110 and one end is spaced from the other end. By providing the common electrode 220, it is possible to prevent the common electrode 115 from being separated. This can suppress display defects in the device 10N.

By increasing the coverage of the common electrode 115, the common electrode 115 can be prevented from being broken or becoming thin. Since the film formation can be suppressed, uneven brightness of the display caused by the voltage drop of the common electrode 115 can be suppressed. It is possible.

[0201] The side wall 219c can be formed using the material that can be used for the partition wall 216.

The heterocyclic compound is a π-electron-rich heteroaromatic ring. Since it has an aromatic ring and a π-electron-deficient heteroaromatic ring, it has high electron transport properties and hole transport properties. It is preferable that an electron-withdrawing group such as a cyano group is bonded instead of the π-electron-deficient heteroaromatic ring. Alternatively, instead of the π-electron deficient heteroaromatic ring, a π-electron deficient heteroaromatic ring may be used. Similarly, instead of a π-electron rich heteroaromatic ring, a π-electron rich A scaffold can be used.

It is preferable that the concentration is higher than the above level.

[0383] Alternatively, a TADF material may be used as the host material, and a fluorescent material may be used as the guest material. When ADF material is used as a host material, triplet excitation energy generated in TADF material is is converted to singlet excitation energy by reverse intersystem crossing, and the energy is then transferred to the luminescent material. By moving the TADF material, the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting device can be increased. The material acts as the energy donor and the luminescent material acts as the energy acceptor. Therefore, using a TADF material as a host material is a good choice for a fluorescent material as a guest material. This is very effective when using a material with high luminous efficiency. The S1 level of the ADF material is preferably higher than the S1 level of the fluorescent material. The T1 level of the DF material is preferably higher than the S1 level of the fluorescent material.

This allows the TADF material to be converted into a fluorescent material. This is preferable because the transfer of excitation energy becomes smooth and light emission can be obtained efficiently.

[0385] In addition, singlet excitation energy is efficiently generated from triplet excitation energy by reverse intersystem crossing. In order for this to happen, it is preferable for carrier recombination to occur in the TADF material. The triplet excitation energy generated in the DF material is transferred to the triplet excitation energy of the fluorescent material. For this purpose, it is preferable that the fluorescent substance has a luminophore ( It is preferable that the compound has a protecting group around the skeleton that causes light emission.

[0415] [Light-emitting model for light-emitting devices] A light emission model in the light emitting device of this embodiment will be described.

[0416] In this embodiment, a hole transport layer 122, a light emitting layer 123, and an electron transport layer 124 shown in FIG. The light-emitting device has a structure shown in FIG. The light emission model is not limited to this and can be applied to other configurations as well.

[0417] When the light-emitting layer 123 becomes an electron-rich state, as shown in FIG. A light emitting region 123-1 is formed in a local region. The width of the light-emitting region 123-1 is narrow. Therefore, the light is concentrated in a local region of the light-emitting layer 123. electron (e - ) and Hall (h + ) and recombine with the metal, accelerating degradation. The electrons that could not recombine in the light-emitting layer 123 pass through the light-emitting layer 123, and their lifetime is shortened. The life or luminous efficiency may be reduced.

[0418] On the other hand, in the light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention, the electron transporting property in the electron transport layer 124 is reduced. By increasing the width of the light emitting region 123-1 in the light emitting layer 123, (FIG. 19(B) and FIG. 19(C)). By increasing the width of the light-emitting region 123-1, the light The recombination area of ​​electrons and holes in the layer 123 can be dispersed. It is therefore possible to provide a light emitting device having a long life and good luminous efficiency.

[0419] As shown in FIG. 19B, the light-emitting device of one embodiment of the present invention shows a recrystallization state at an early stage of driving. In some cases, the junction region extends to the electron transport layer 124 side. The recombination region in FIG. 4 is shown as region 124-1. In the device, the hole injection barrier is small at the beginning of operation, and the electron transport of the electron transport layer 124 is small. The relatively low transmittance of light emitting region 123-1 (i.e., the recombination region) of light emitting layer 12 3, and may also form a recombination region in the electron transport layer 124.

[0420] In addition, the HOMO level of the electron transport material contained in the electron transport layer 124 is set to −6.0 eV or higher. Since the temperature is relatively high, some of the holes reach the electron transport layer 124 and are regenerated in the electron transport layer 124. This phenomenon may occur when the host material (or the is an assist material) and the electron transporting material contained in the electron transport layer 124, This can occur even when the difference is within 0.2 eV.

[0421] As shown in FIG. 19C, the light-emitting device of one embodiment of the present invention This changes the carrier balance, making recombination in the electron transport layer 124 less likely to occur. The light-emitting region 123-1 remains formed over the entire light-emitting layer 123. By suppressing the recombination of carriers, the energy of the recombined carriers can be effectively contributed to light emission. Therefore, the luminance can be increased compared to the initial driving period. By offsetting the sudden drop in brightness that occurs when the device is first driven, known as initial deterioration, It is possible to provide a light-emitting device that has a small change in the emission characteristics and a long operating life. , Recombination-Site Tailoring of the above-mentioned light-emitting devices This is sometimes called the injection structure (ReSTI structure).

[0422] Here, the light-emitting device of this embodiment and the light-emitting device for comparison will be described with reference to FIG. The normalized luminance over time in FIG. 19D is shown by a thick solid line and a thick The light dashed line is a degradation curve of the normalized luminance of the light-emitting device of the present embodiment, and the thick dashed line is 1 is a degradation curve of normalized luminance of a comparative light-emitting device.

[0423] As shown in FIG. 19(D), the light-emitting device of this embodiment and the comparative light-emitting device The slopes of the degradation curves of normalized luminance are different from each other. The slope θ2 of the deterioration curve of the light emitting device for comparison is smaller than the slope θ1 of the deterioration curve of the light emitting device for comparison.

[0424] As shown in FIG. 19D, the light-emitting device of one embodiment of the present invention exhibits a constant current density. In the luminance degradation curve obtained by the driving test in the That is, the luminance of the light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention increases with time. This behavior is called "initial deterioration" which is a rapid deterioration at the beginning of operation. However, the light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above. For example, as shown by the thick dashed line in FIG. 19D, the image does not have a maximum value of luminance, in other words, Therefore, the slope of the deterioration curve can be reduced without causing an increase in luminance. By configuring the device to exhibit this behavior, the initial deterioration of the light-emitting device is reduced, and The operating life can be significantly extended.

[0425] In addition, when the derivative of the deterioration curve having a maximum value is taken, there is a portion where the value becomes 0. The light-emitting device having a zero portion in the differential of the deterioration curve is regarded as a light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention. It can be called a vice.

[0426] In the light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention, the electron transport layer 124 is It is preferable to have a portion where the mixture ratio (concentration) of the transport material and the first substance is different. Typically, a mixture of an electron transporting material with a metal, a metal salt, a metal oxide, or an organometallic complex. It is preferable to have portions with different ratios (concentrations).

[0427] The concentration of the first substance in the electron transport layer 124 was measured by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (T F-SIMS:Time-of-flight secondary ion mass The amount of atoms and molecules detected by spectrometry can be inferred. In the area where the material is composed of two different materials and the mixture ratio is different, ToF-SIMS analysis The magnitude of each detected value corresponds to the abundance of the target atom or molecule. Therefore, by comparing the detected amounts of the electron transport material and the organometallic complex, You can get a small idea.

[0428] The content of the first material in the electron transport layer 124 is higher on the cathode 102 side than on the anode 101 side. In other words, it is preferable that the concentration of the first substance is smaller on the anode 10 side than on the cathode 102 side. It is preferable that the electron transport layer 124 is formed so as to rise toward the first side. That is, the electron transport layer 124 is disposed closer to the light emitting layer 123 than the portion having a high concentration of the electron transport material. In other words, the electron transport layer 124 has a low concentration of the transport material. The portion having a higher concentration of the first substance is located closer to the light emitting layer 123 than the portion having a lower concentration.

[0429] In the electron transport layer 124, the portion where the concentration of the electron transporting material is high (the portion where the concentration of the first substance is low) The electron mobility in the region (part 1) is 1×10 at a square root of the electric field strength [V / cm] of 600. -7 cm 2 / Vs or more 5×10 -5 cm 2 It is preferable that the value is equal to or less than / Vs.

[0430] For example, the content (concentration) of the first substance in the electron transport layer 124 is as shown in FIG. 0(D). Note that FIG. 20(A) and FIG. 20(B) are diagrams showing the configuration of the electronic import 20(C) and 20(D) show the case where there is no clear boundary in the transport layer 124. This illustrates the case where there is a clear boundary within layer 124.

[0431] When there is no clear boundary in the electron transport layer 124, the concentrations of the electron transporting material and the first substance are As shown in FIG. 20(A) and FIG. 20(B), the electron transport layer 124 When there is a clear boundary between the electron transporting material and the first substance, the concentrations of the electron transporting material and the first substance are As shown in FIG. 0(D), the concentration of the electron transporting material and the first substance changes stepwise. If the change is step-like, it is suggested that the electron transport layer 124 is composed of multiple layers. For example, FIG. 20C shows a case where the electron transport layer 124 has a two-layer laminate structure. FIG. 20(D) shows a case where the electron transport layer 124 has a three-layer laminate structure. 20(D), the dashed lines represent the boundary regions of multiple layers.

[0432] The change in the carrier balance in the light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention is This is believed to be caused by a change in electron mobility.

[0433] In the light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention, a concentration difference of the first substance exists in the electron transport layer 124. The electron transport layer 124 is disposed between the region having a low concentration of the first substance and the light-emitting layer 123. The first substance has a high concentration region. That is, the first substance has a low concentration region. The cathode 102 is located closer to the cathode 102 than the other region.

[0434] The light-emitting device of one embodiment of the present invention having the above structure has an extremely long lifetime. If the initial brightness is 100%, the time it takes for the brightness to reach 95% (also called LT95) is It can be made extremely long.

[0435] This embodiment mode can be combined with other embodiment modes as appropriate.

[0470] In other words, if a desired correction signal is stored in the node NM, the correction signal is applied to the supplied image signal. Note that the correction signal may be attenuated by elements on the transmission path. Therefore, it is preferable to generate the signal taking this attenuation into consideration.

[0508] <Reference example> In this reference example, the HOMO level, LUM The method of calculating the O level and the electron mobility will be described.

[0509] The HOMO and LUMO levels were calculated based on cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. It is possible.

[0510] In this reference example, an electrochemical analyzer (manufactured by BAS Co., Ltd., model 1) was used as the measuring device. The solution used in the CV measurement was the solvent. Then, dehydrated dimethylformamide (DMF) (Aldrich Co., Ltd., 99.8%, Catalog The supporting electrolyte was tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate. 100g of n-Bu4NClO4 (Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., catalog number: T0836) The sample is dissolved to a concentration of 2 mmol / L. The working electrode was a platinum electrode (B.A.S. Co., Ltd.). The auxiliary electrode was a platinum electrode (B.A.S. Co., Ltd., VC -3 Pt counter electrode (5 cm)) and Ag / Ag+ electrode (Be· The measurements were performed at room temperature (2 The scan rate during CV measurement was standardized to 0.1 V / sec. The oxidation potential Ea [V] and reduction potential Ec [V] of the electrode were measured. Ea is the oxidation-reduction potential. The intermediate potential of the reduction-oxidation wave is taken as Ec. The potential energy of the electrode relative to the vacuum level is found to be -4.94 eV. Therefore, the HOMO level [eV] = -4.94-Ea, and the LUMO level [eV] = -4 From the formula .94-Ec, the HOMO and LUMO levels can be calculated. do.

[0511] Electron mobility was measured by impedance spectroscopy (Impedance Spectroscopy: It can be measured using the IS method.

[0512] The carrier mobility of EL materials is measured by the transient photocurrent method (Time-of-flight:T OF method and space-charge-limited current The method of calculating the capacitance from the IV characteristics of the SCLC (nt:SCLC method) has been known for a long time. The TOF method requires a sample with a thickness that is considerably thicker than that of an actual organic EL device. The SCLC method has the disadvantage that the dependence of carrier mobility on electric field strength cannot be obtained. In this case, the thickness of the organic film required for measurement is thin, about several hundred nm, so a relatively small amount of EL material is used. This allows the film to be formed in a small amount of space, and the mobility can be measured with a film thickness close to that of an actual organic EL device. It is characterized by the fact that the dependence of carrier mobility on electric field strength can also be obtained.

[0513] In the IS method, a small sinusoidal voltage signal (V = V0 [exp(jωt)]) is applied to the EL device. Then, the current amplitude of the response current signal (I = I0exp[j(ωt+φ)]) and the input signal are The impedance (Z=V / I) of the EL device is calculated from the phase difference. By applying a voltage ranging from high frequency to low frequency to the EL device, the impedance Components with different relaxation times that contribute to the photon dance can be separated and measured.

[0514] Here, the admittance Y (= 1 / Z), which is the reciprocal of the impedance, is given by the following formula (1): It can be expressed as conductance G and susceptance B as shown below.

[0515]

number

[0516] Furthermore, by using the single charge injection model, The following equations (2) and (3) can be calculated: where g (equation (4)) is the differential conductance In the formula, C is the capacitance, θ is the travel angle, and ω represents the angular frequency. T is the transit time. The analysis uses the current equation, Poisson's equation, and the current continuity equation. The formula is used, ignoring the existence of diffusion current and trap levels.

[0517]

number

[0518] The method of calculating the mobility from the frequency characteristics of the capacitance is the -ΔB method. The ωΔG method is a method for calculating the mobility from the frequency characteristics of a carrier.

[0519] In practice, first, an electron-only device is fabricated from the material whose electron mobility is to be determined. A limited device is a device designed to allow only electrons to flow as carriers. In this specification, a method for calculating the mobility from the frequency characteristics of the capacitance (-ΔB method) will be described. do.

[0520] The structure of the electron-only device fabricated for the measurement is shown in Figure 26, and its specific configuration is shown in Table 1. The electron-only device fabricated in this reference example has a first electrode 901 (anode) and a second electrode A first layer 910, a second layer 911, and a third layer 912 are disposed between the electrode 902 (cathode). A material for which the electron mobility is to be determined may be used as the material of the second layer 911. So, 2-{4-[9,10-di(naphthalen-2-yl)-2-anthryl]phenyl }-1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole (abbreviation: ZADN) and 8-quinolinolatri The electron mobility of a 1:1 (weight ratio) co-evaporated film of lithium (abbreviation: Liq) was measured. In this reference example, 7-[4-(10-phenyl-9-anthryl)phenyl] -7H-dibenzo[c,g]carbazole (abbreviation: cgDBCzPA) and 2-[3 '-(Dibenzothiophen-4-yl)biphenyl-3-yl]dibenzo[f,h]quino The electron mobility of xaline (abbreviation: 2mDBTBPDBq-II) was also measured.

[0521] [Table 1]

[0522] The electron-only device was fabricated using a co-evaporated film of ZADN and Liq as the second layer 911. The current density-voltage characteristics are shown in FIG.

[0523] The impedance measurement was performed by applying a DC voltage in the range of 5.0V to 9.0V while applying an AC voltage The measurements were performed under the conditions of a voltage of 70 mV and a frequency of 1 Hz to 3 MHz. The capacitance is calculated from the admittance (equation (1) above), which is the reciprocal of the impedance. The frequency characteristics of the calculated capacitance C at an applied voltage of 7.0 V are shown in FIG.

[0524] The frequency characteristic of capacitance C is the space charge caused by carriers injected by a small voltage signal. This occurs because the load cannot completely follow the minute AC voltage, and a phase difference occurs in the current. Here, the transit time of the carriers in the film is the time T for the injected carriers to reach the counter electrode. It is defined and expressed by the following equation (5).

[0525]

number

[0526] The negative susceptance change (-ΔB) is the capacitance change -ΔC multiplied by the angular frequency ω (-ωΔ C) The lowest frequency peak frequency f' max (=ω max / 2π) and From equation (3), the relationship between the row time T and the row time T can be derived as shown in equation (6) below.

[0527]

number

[0528] The frequency characteristics of -ΔB calculated from the above measurements (i.e., when the DC voltage is 7.0 V) are shown in Fig. 2. 9. The lowest frequency peak frequency f' obtained from FIG. max is indicated by the arrow in the figure. did.

[0529] f' obtained from the above measurements and analysis max Therefore, the travel time T can be calculated (equation (6)). From the above formula (5), the electron mobility at a voltage of 7.0 V can be calculated. The same measurements were performed at DC voltages ranging from 5.0V to 9.0V to determine the electric field strength at each voltage. ) can be calculated, so the dependence of mobility on electric field strength can also be measured.

[0530] The electric field strength dependence of the electron mobility of each organic compound finally obtained by the above calculation method. The characteristics are shown in Figure 30. From the figure, the square root of the electric field strength [V / cm] is 600 [V / cm m] 1 / 2 The electron mobility values ​​at this time are shown in Table 2. In FIG. 30, the squares are cgDBCz The results of PA are shown in the triangles, and the results of 2mDBTBPDBq-II are shown in the diamonds. The results of the deposition are shown.
