Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a compound, a material for an organic electroluminescence device, an organic electroluminescence device, and an electronic device. [Background technology]

[0002] When a voltage is applied to an organic electroluminescence device (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an "organic EL device"), holes are injected from the anode into the light-emitting layer, and electrons are injected from the cathode into the light-emitting layer. Then, in the light-emitting layer, the injected holes and electrons recombine to form excitons. At this time, according to the statistical law of electron spin, singlet excitons are generated at a rate of 25% and triplet excitons are generated at a rate of 75%. Fluorescent organic EL devices that use light emission from singlet excitons are increasingly being applied to full-color displays such as those for mobile phones and televisions, but their internal quantum efficiency is said to be limited to 25%. To improve the performance of organic EL devices, various studies have been conducted on compounds used in organic EL devices (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). Examples of the performance of organic EL devices include brightness, emission wavelength, chromaticity, luminous efficiency, driving voltage, and lifespan. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] [Definition] In this specification, hydrogen atoms include isotopes with different numbers of neutrons, namely protium, deuterium, and tritium.

[0014] In this specification, in a chemical structural formula, a hydrogen atom, i.e., a protium atom, a deuterium atom, or a tritium atom is assumed to be bonded to a possible bonding position that is not explicitly marked with a symbol such as "R" or "D" representing a deuterium atom.

[0015] As used herein, the term "number of ring carbon atoms" refers to the number of carbon atoms among the atoms constituting the ring itself of a compound having a structure in which atoms are bonded in a ring (e.g., a monocyclic compound, a fused ring compound, a bridged compound, a carbocyclic compound, and a heterocyclic compound). When the ring is substituted with a substituent, the carbon atoms contained in the substituent are not included in the number of ring carbon atoms. The "number of ring carbon atoms" described below is the same unless otherwise specified. For example, a benzene ring has 6 ring carbon atoms, a naphthalene ring has 10 ring carbon atoms, a pyridine ring has 5 ring carbon atoms, and a furan ring has 4 ring carbon atoms. For example, a 9,9-diphenylfluorenyl group has 13 ring carbon atoms, and a 9,9'-spirobifluorenyl group has 25 ring carbon atoms. Furthermore, when a benzene ring is substituted with, for example, an alkyl group as a substituent, the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl group is not included in the number of ring carbon atoms of the benzene ring. Therefore, the number of ring carbon atoms of the benzene ring substituted with an alkyl group is 6. Furthermore, when a naphthalene ring is substituted with, for example, an alkyl group as a substituent, the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl group is not included in the number of ring carbon atoms of the naphthalene ring. Therefore, the number of ring carbon atoms of the naphthalene ring substituted with an alkyl group is 10.

[0016] In this specification, the number of ring atoms refers to the number of atoms constituting the ring itself of a compound (e.g., a monocyclic compound, a fused ring compound, a bridged compound, a carbocyclic compound, and a heterocyclic compound) having a structure in which atoms are bonded in a ring (e.g., a monocyclic ring, a fused ring, and a ring assembly). Atoms that do not constitute the ring (e.g., hydrogen atoms terminating the bonds of atoms constituting the ring) and atoms contained in the substituent when the ring is substituted with a substituent are not included in the number of ring atoms. The "number of ring atoms" described below is the same unless otherwise specified. For example, the number of ring atoms of a pyridine ring is 6, the number of ring atoms of a quinazoline ring is 10, and the number of ring atoms of a furan ring is 5. For example, the number of hydrogen atoms or atoms constituting a substituent bonded to the pyridine ring are not included in the number of pyridine ring atoms. Therefore, the number of ring atoms of a pyridine ring to which a hydrogen atom or a substituent is bonded is 6. Furthermore, for example, hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms of the quinazoline ring or atoms constituting substituents are not included in the number of ring atoms of the quinazoline ring, so the number of ring atoms of a quinazoline ring to which a hydrogen atom or a substituent is bonded is 10.

[0017] In this specification, the "number of carbon atoms XX to YY" in the expression "substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group having carbon atoms XX to YY" refers to the number of carbon atoms when the ZZ group is unsubstituted, and does not include the number of carbon atoms of the substituent when the ZZ group is substituted. Here, "YY" is larger than "XX", "XX" means an integer of 1 or more, and "YY" means an integer of 2 or more.

[0018] In this specification, the "number of atoms XX to YY" in the expression "a substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group having XX to YY atoms" refers to the number of atoms when the ZZ group is unsubstituted, and does not include the number of atoms of the substituent when the ZZ group is substituted. Here, "YY" is larger than "XX", "XX" means an integer of 1 or more, and "YY" means an integer of 2 or more.

[0019] In this specification, an unsubstituted ZZ group refers to a case where a "substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group" is an "unsubstituted ZZ group", and a substituted ZZ group refers to a case where a "substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group" is a "substituted ZZ group". In this specification, "unsubstituted" in the context of a "substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group" means that a hydrogen atom in the ZZ group is not replaced with a substituent. The hydrogen atom in the "unsubstituted ZZ group" is a protist atom, a deuterium atom, or a tritium atom. In this specification, "substituted" in the context of "a substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group" means that one or more hydrogen atoms in the ZZ group are replaced with a substituent. Similarly, "substituted" in the context of "a BB group substituted with an AA group" means that one or more hydrogen atoms in the BB group are replaced with an AA group.

[0098] The above is the explanation of "substituents described in this specification."

[0099] - "When bonded to form a ring" In this specification, the phrase "one or more pairs of adjacent groups bond with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted monocycle, bond with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring, or are not bonded to each other" means the case where "one or more pairs of adjacent groups bond with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted monocycle", the case where "one or more pairs of adjacent groups bond with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring", or the case where "one or more pairs of adjacent groups do not bond with each other". In this specification, the cases where "one or more groups of two or more adjacent groups bond to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted monocyclic ring" and "one or more groups of two or more adjacent groups bond to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring" (hereinafter, these cases may be collectively referred to as "a case where they bond to form a ring") will be explained below. The case of an anthracene compound represented by the following general formula (TEMP-103), in which the main skeleton is an anthracene ring, will be explained as an example.

[0100] [ka]

[0101] For example, R921 ~R 930 In the case where "one or more pairs of adjacent two or more groups are bonded to each other to form a ring," one pair of adjacent two groups is R 921 and R 922 Paired with R 922 and R 923 Paired with R 923 and R 924 Paired with R 924 and R 930 Paired with R 930 and R 925 Paired with R 925 and R 926 Paired with R 926 and R 927 Paired with R 927 and R 928 Paired with R 928 and R 929 Pairs with and R 929 and R 921 It is paired with.

[0102] The above "one or more pairs" means that two or more pairs of adjacent two or more groups may simultaneously form a ring. For example, R 921 and R 922 and are bonded to each other to form ring Q A At the same time, R 925 and R 926 and are bonded to each other to form ring Q B When the anthracene compound represented by the general formula (TEMP-103) is formed, the anthracene compound represented by the general formula (TEMP-104) is represented by the following general formula (TEMP-104).

[0103] [ka]

[0104] When a "set of two or more adjacent units" forms a ring, it does not only mean that a set of two adjacent units is bonded, as in the previous example, but also that a set of three or more adjacent units is bonded. For example, R 921 and R 922 and are bonded to each other to form ring Q A and R 922 and R923 and are bonded to each other to form ring Q C and form three adjacent (R 921 , R 922 and R 923 In this case, the anthracene compound represented by the general formula (TEMP-103) is represented by the following general formula (TEMP-105): A and Ring Q C is R 922 Share.

[0105] [ka]

[0106] The "monocyclic ring" or "fused ring" formed may be a saturated ring or an unsaturated ring as the structure of only the ring formed. Even when "one pair of adjacent two" forms a "monocyclic ring" or a "fused ring", the "monocyclic ring" or the "fused ring" may form a saturated ring or an unsaturated ring. For example, in the case of the ring Q formed in the general formula (TEMP-104), A and Ring Q B are "monocyclic rings" or "fused rings", respectively. A , and ring Q C is a "fused ring". A and Tamaki Q C That is, Tamaki Q A and Tamaki Q C The ring Q in the general formula (TMEP-104) is fused to form a fused ring. A If is a benzene ring, then ring Q A The ring Q in the general formula (TMEP-104) is a monocyclic ring. A If is a naphthalene ring, then ring Q A is a fused ring.

[0107] The term "unsaturated ring" refers to an aromatic hydrocarbon ring or an aromatic heterocyclic ring. The term "saturated ring" refers to an aliphatic hydrocarbon ring or a non-aromatic heterocyclic ring. Specific examples of the aromatic hydrocarbon ring include structures in which the groups given as specific examples in the specific example group G1 are terminated with a hydrogen atom. Specific examples of the aromatic heterocycle include structures in which the aromatic heterocyclic groups exemplified as specific examples in the specific example group G2 are terminated with a hydrogen atom. Specific examples of the aliphatic hydrocarbon ring include structures in which the groups given as specific examples in the specific example group G6 are terminated with a hydrogen atom. The term "forming a ring" means that a ring is formed only with a plurality of atoms of the main skeleton, or with a plurality of atoms of the main skeleton and one or more optional elements. For example, R 921 and R 922 and are bonded to form a ring Q A is R 921 The carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton to which R is bonded 922 It means a ring formed by the carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton to which R is bonded and one or more arbitrary elements. 921 and R 922 Todekan Q A In the case where R 921 The carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton to which R is bonded 922 When a monocyclic unsaturated ring is formed with the carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton to which R is bonded and four carbon atoms, 921 and R 922 The ring formed by

[0108] Here, unless otherwise specified in this specification, the "arbitrary element" is preferably at least one element selected from the group consisting of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. In the arbitrary element (for example, in the case of carbon or nitrogen), the bond that does not form a ring may be terminated with a hydrogen atom or the like, or may be substituted with an "arbitrary substituent" described below. When an arbitrary element other than carbon is included, the formed ring is a heterocycle. Unless otherwise specified in this specification, the "one or more arbitrary elements" constituting the monocyclic or fused ring is preferably 2 or more and 15 or less, more preferably 3 or more and 12 or less, and even more preferably 3 or more and 5 or less. Unless otherwise specified in this specification, of the "monocyclic ring" and the "fused ring", the "monocyclic ring" is preferred. Unless otherwise specified in this specification, of the "saturated ring" and the "unsaturated ring", the "unsaturated ring" is preferred. Unless otherwise specified herein, a "monocyclic ring" is preferably a benzene ring. Unless otherwise specified herein, the "unsaturated ring" is preferably a benzene ring. When "one or more pairs of adjacent two or more groups" "combine with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted monocyclic ring" or "combine with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring," unless otherwise specified in this specification, preferably, one or more pairs of adjacent two or more groups combine with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted "unsaturated ring" consisting of a plurality of atoms of the parent skeleton and at least one element selected from the group consisting of 1 to 15 carbon atoms, nitrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, and sulfur atoms.

[0109] When the above-mentioned "monocyclic ring" or "fused ring" has a substituent, the substituent is, for example, the "optional substituent" described later. When the above-mentioned "monocyclic ring" or "fused ring" has a substituent, specific examples of the substituent are the substituents described in the above section "Substituents described in this specification." When the above-mentioned "saturated ring" or "unsaturated ring" has a substituent, the substituent is, for example, the "optional substituent" described below.

[0497] (thermally activated delayed fluorescence) In this specification, thermally activated delayed fluorescence may be referred to as delayed fluorescence. Delayed fluorescence is explained on pages 261-268 of "Device Properties of Organic Semiconductors" (edited by Adachi Chihaya, published by Kodansha). In that paper, the energy difference ΔE between the excited singlet state and the excited triplet state of a fluorescent material is 13 It has been explained that if the transition probability can be reduced, the reverse energy transfer from the excited triplet state to the excited singlet state, which normally has a low transition probability, occurs with high efficiency, resulting in the appearance of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Furthermore, Figure 10.38 in the literature explains the mechanism of delayed fluorescence generation. The TADF mechanism utilizes the phenomenon of reverse intersystem crossing from triplet excitons to singlet excitons occurring thermally when a material with a small energy difference (ΔST) between the singlet and triplet levels is used. Compounds that exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF properties) (hereinafter also referred to as TADF compounds) are known, for example, to have donor and acceptor moieties bonded within the molecule.

[0498] Generally, delayed fluorescence can be confirmed by transient PL (photoluminescence) measurement.

[0499] The behavior of delayed fluorescence can also be analyzed based on the decay curve obtained from transient PL measurements. Transient PL measurements are a technique in which a sample is excited by irradiating it with a pulsed laser, and then the decay behavior (transient characteristics) of the PL emission is measured after the irradiation is stopped. PL emission from TADF compounds is classified into emission components from singlet excitons generated during the initial PL excitation, and emission components from singlet excitons generated via triplet excitons. The lifetime of singlet excitons generated during the initial PL excitation is extremely short, on the order of nanoseconds. Therefore, the emission from these singlet excitons decays quickly after irradiation with a pulsed laser. On the other hand, delayed fluorescence decays slowly because it is emitted from singlet excitons generated via triplet excitons, which have a long lifetime. Thus, there is a large time difference between the emission from the singlet excitons generated by the initial PL excitation and the emission from the singlet excitons generated via triplet excitons. Therefore, the emission intensity derived from delayed fluorescence can be measured.

[0500] A schematic diagram of an exemplary apparatus for measuring transient PL is shown in Figure 2. An example of a method for measuring transient PL and an analysis of the behavior of delayed fluorescence will be described below using Figure 2.

[0501] 2 includes a pulsed laser unit 101 capable of irradiating light of a predetermined wavelength, a sample chamber 102 for accommodating a measurement sample, a spectroscope 103 for dispersing the light emitted from the measurement sample, a streak camera 104 for forming a two-dimensional image, and a personal computer 105 for capturing and analyzing the two-dimensional image. Note that the measurement of transient PL is not limited to the device shown in FIG. 2.

[0502] The sample accommodated in the sample chamber 102 is obtained by forming a thin film on a quartz substrate, in which the doping material is doped at a concentration of 12 mass % relative to the matrix material.

[0503] A pulsed laser is irradiated from the pulsed laser unit 101 onto a thin film sample placed in the sample chamber 102 to excite the doping material. Emission light is extracted in a direction 90 degrees to the irradiation direction of the excitation light, and the extracted light is dispersed by the spectrometer 103, forming a two-dimensional image in the streak camera 104. As a result, a two-dimensional image can be obtained in which the vertical axis corresponds to time, the horizontal axis corresponds to wavelength, and bright spots correspond to emission intensity. By cutting out this two-dimensional image along a predetermined time axis, an emission spectrum can be obtained in which the vertical axis represents emission intensity and the horizontal axis represents wavelength. Furthermore, by cutting out the two-dimensional image along the wavelength axis, a decay curve (transient PL) can be obtained in which the vertical axis represents the logarithm of emission intensity and the horizontal axis represents time.

[0504] For example, a thin film sample A was prepared as described above using the following compound HX1 as the matrix material and the following compound DX1 as the doping material, and transient PL measurement was carried out.

[0505] [ka]

[0506] Here, the attenuation curves were analyzed using the above-mentioned thin film sample A and thin film sample B. Thin film sample B was prepared as described above using the following compound HX2 as a matrix material and the above-mentioned compound DX1 as a doping material.

[0507] FIG. 3 shows the decay curves obtained from the transient PL measured for thin film sample A and thin film sample B.

[0508] [ka]

[0509] As described above, transient PL measurements can be used to obtain an emission decay curve with emission intensity on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. Based on this emission decay curve, the fluorescence intensity ratio between the fluorescence emitted from the singlet excited state generated by photoexcitation and the delayed fluorescence emitted from the singlet excited state generated by back energy transfer via the triplet excited state can be estimated. In delayed fluorescent materials, the ratio of the intensity of the delayed fluorescence, which decays slowly, to the intensity of the fluorescence, which decays quickly, is somewhat larger.

[0510] Specifically, there are two types of luminescence from delayed fluorescent materials: prompt luminescence and delayed luminescence. Prompt luminescence is luminescence that is observed immediately from the excited state after being excited by pulsed light (light irradiated from a pulsed laser) with a wavelength that the delayed fluorescent material absorbs. Delayed luminescence is luminescence that is not observed immediately after excitation by the pulsed light, but is observed later.

[0511] The amounts of prompt luminescence and delay luminescence and their ratio can be determined by a method similar to that described in "Nature 492, 234-238, 2012" (Reference 1). Note that the device used to calculate the amounts of prompt luminescence and delay luminescence is not limited to the device described in Reference 1 or the device shown in FIG. 2.

[0512] Furthermore, to measure the delayed fluorescence of the delayed fluorescent compound according to this embodiment, a sample prepared by the following method is used. For example, the delayed fluorescent compound according to this embodiment is dissolved in toluene to prepare a dilute solution having an absorbance of 0.05 or less at the excitation wavelength to eliminate the contribution of self-absorption. To prevent quenching by oxygen, the sample solution is frozen and degassed, and then sealed in a lidded cell under an argon atmosphere to obtain an oxygen-free sample solution saturated with argon. The fluorescence spectrum of the sample solution was measured using a spectrofluorometer FP-8600 (JASCO Corporation), and the fluorescence spectrum of an ethanol solution of 9,10-diphenylanthracene was also measured under the same conditions. The total fluorescence quantum yield was calculated using the fluorescence area intensities of both spectra according to equation (1) in Morris et al., J. Phys. Chem. 80 (1976) 969.

[0513] In this embodiment, the amount of prompt luminescence (instant luminescence) of the compound to be measured is X P and the amount of delay light emission is X D When X D / X P It is preferable that the value is 0.05 or more. The amounts of prompt luminescence and delayed luminescence and their ratios for compounds other than the delayed fluorescent compound in this specification are measured in the same manner as the amounts of prompt luminescence and delayed luminescence and their ratios for the delayed fluorescent compound according to this embodiment.

[0514] (ΔST) In this embodiment, the lowest excited singlet energy S1 and the energy gap T at 77 [K] 77K The difference between (S1-T 77K ) is defined as ΔST.

[0515] In this embodiment, the lowest excited singlet energy S1(GT2) of the delayed fluorescent compound and the energy gap T at 77 [K] of the delayed fluorescent compound are 77K The difference ΔST(GT2) from (GT2) is preferably less than 0.5 eV, more preferably less than 0.3 eV, even more preferably less than 0.2 eV, still more preferably less than 0.1 eV, and even more preferably less than 0.01 eV. That is, ΔST(GT2) preferably satisfies the following formula (Mathematical Formula 2), (Mathematical Formula 2A), (Mathematical Formula 2B), (Mathematical Formula 2C), or (Mathematical Formula 2D). ΔST(GT2)=S1(GT2)-T 77K (GT2)<0.5eV …(Equation 2) ΔST(GT2)=S1(GT2)-T 77K(GT2)<0.3eV …(number 2A) ΔST(GT2)=S1(GT2)-T 77K (GT2)<0.2eV...(Math 2B) ΔST(GT2)=S1(GT2)-T 77K (GT2)<0.1eV …(math 2C) ΔST(GT2)=S1(GT2)-T 77K (GT2)<0.01eV …(math 2D)

[0516] (Relationship between triplet energy and energy gap at 77[K]) Here, the relationship between the triplet energy and the energy gap at 77 K will be described. In this embodiment, the energy gap at 77 K differs from the triplet energy that is usually defined. Triplet energy is measured as follows. First, a sample is prepared by dissolving the compound to be measured in an appropriate solvent and sealing the solution in a quartz glass tube. The phosphorescence spectrum (vertical axis: phosphorescence intensity, horizontal axis: wavelength) of this sample is measured at low temperature (77 K). A tangent line is drawn to the rising edge of the short wavelength side of this phosphorescence spectrum, and the triplet energy is calculated using a predetermined conversion formula based on the wavelength value at the intersection of the tangent line and the horizontal axis. Among the compounds according to this embodiment, the thermally activated delayed fluorescent compound is preferably a compound with a small ΔST. When ΔST is small, intersystem crossing and reverse intersystem crossing are likely to occur even at low temperatures (77 [K]), resulting in a mixture of excited singlet and excited triplet states. As a result, the spectrum measured in the same manner as above contains light emission from both the excited singlet and excited triplet states, and although it is difficult to clearly distinguish which state the light emission originates from, it is generally considered that the triplet energy value is dominant. Therefore, in this embodiment, although the measurement method is the same as that of the normal triplet energy T, in order to distinguish that it is different in the strict sense, the value measured as follows is referred to as the energy gap T 77KThe compound to be measured is dissolved in EPA (diethyl ether: isopentane: ethanol = 5:5:2 (volume ratio)) to obtain a solution with a concentration of 10 μmol / L, and this solution is placed in a quartz cell to be used as a measurement sample. The phosphorescence spectrum (vertical axis: phosphorescence intensity, horizontal axis: wavelength) of this measurement sample is measured at low temperature (77 [K]), and a tangent line is drawn to the rising edge on the short wavelength side of this phosphorescence spectrum, and the wavelength value λ at the intersection of this tangent line and the horizontal axis is determined. edge Based on the [nm], the amount of energy calculated using the following conversion formula (F1) is the energy gap T at 77 [K]. 77K Let's say. Conversion formula (F1):T 77K [eV]=1239.85 / λ edge

[0517] The tangent to the rising edge of the phosphorescence spectrum on the short wavelength side is drawn as follows: When moving along the spectral curve from the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum to the shortest maximum of the spectral maxima, consider the tangent at each point on the curve toward the long wavelength side. The slope of this tangent increases as the curve rises (i.e., as the vertical axis increases). The tangent drawn at the point where this slope is at its maximum (i.e., the tangent at the inflection point) is the tangent to the rising edge of the phosphorescence spectrum on the short wavelength side. Note that a maximum point having a peak intensity that is 15% or less of the maximum peak intensity of the spectrum is not included in the above-mentioned maximum value on the shortest wavelength side, and the tangent drawn at the point where the slope value is the maximum value that is closest to the maximum value on the shortest wavelength side is defined as the tangent to the rising edge on the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum. Phosphorescence can be measured using an F-4500 spectrofluorophotometer manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corp. However, the measuring device is not limited to this, and measurements may be performed by combining a cooling device, a cryogenic container, an excitation light source, and a light-receiving device.

[0518] (Lowest excited singlet energy S1) The following method can be used to measure the lowest excited singlet energy S1 using a solution (sometimes referred to as a solution method). A 10 μmol / L toluene solution of the compound to be measured is prepared and placed in a quartz cell, and the absorption spectrum (vertical axis: absorption intensity, horizontal axis: wavelength) of this sample is measured at room temperature (300 K). A tangent line is drawn to the falling edge on the long wavelength side of this absorption spectrum, and the wavelength value λedge [nm] at the intersection of this tangent line and the horizontal axis is substituted into the following conversion formula (F2) to calculate the lowest excited singlet energy. Conversion formula (F2): S1[eV]=1239.85 / λedge An example of an absorption spectrum measuring device is a spectrophotometer manufactured by Hitachi (device name: U3310), but is not limited to this.

[0519] The tangent to the fall on the long wavelength side of the absorption spectrum is drawn as follows. When moving along the spectral curve from the longest maximum value on the longest wavelength side of the absorption spectrum toward longer wavelengths, consider the tangent at each point on the curve. As the curve falls (i.e., as the value on the vertical axis decreases), the slope of this tangent decreases and then increases repeatedly. The tangent drawn at the point where the slope is minimum on the longest wavelength side (excluding cases where the absorbance is 0.1 or less) is considered to be the tangent to the fall on the long wavelength side of the absorption spectrum. Note that maximum points with absorbance values ​​of 0.2 or less are not included in the maximum values ​​on the longest wavelength side.

Alternatively, the delayed fluorescent compound can be produced by following a known method and using known alternative reactions and raw materials suited to the target compound.

[0685] (Relationship between the first host material, the sensitizing material, and the fluorescent material in the light-emitting layer) In one embodiment, the sensitizing material is a phosphorescent metal complex. In one embodiment, the light-emitting layer contains a phosphorescent metal complex as a sensitizing material, and may not contain a delayed fluorescent compound.

[0686] FIG. 4 shows an example of the relationship between the energy levels of a first host material (third compound), a phosphorescent metal complex (second compound) as a sensitizer, and a fluorescent material (first compound) in an emitting layer. In FIG. 4, S0 represents the ground state. S1(M3) represents the lowest excited singlet state of the first host material, and T1(M3) represents the lowest excited triplet state of the first host material. S1(M2) represents the lowest excited singlet state of the phosphorescent metal complex, and T1(M2) represents the lowest excited triplet state of the phosphorescent metal complex. S1(M1) represents the lowest excited singlet state of the fluorescent material, and T1(M1) represents the lowest excited triplet state of the fluorescent material. The dashed arrow from T1(M2) to S1(M1) in FIG. 4 represents dipole-type energy transfer from the lowest excited triplet state of the phosphorescent metal complex to the lowest excited singlet state of the fluorescent material. As shown in Figure 4, when a phosphorescent metal complex is used as a sensitizer, the lowest excited singlet state S1(M2) of the phosphorescent metal complex can undergo intersystem crossing to the lowest excited triplet state T1(M2) due to spin-orbit interactions and heavy atom effects. Dipole-type energy transfer then occurs from the lowest excited triplet state T1(M2) of the phosphorescent metal complex to the fluorescent material, generating the lowest excited singlet state S1(M1). As a result, fluorescence emission from the lowest excited singlet state S1(M1) of the fluorescent material can be observed. It is believed that this mechanism can theoretically increase the internal quantum efficiency to 100%.

[0687] In one embodiment, the energy gap T at 77[K] of the phosphorescent metal complex 77K It is also preferable that (GP2) and the lowest excited singlet energy S1(D) of the fluorescent material satisfy the relationship of the following mathematical formula (Mathematical Formula 3). T 77K (GP2)>S1(D) ...(Math 3)

[0688] In one embodiment, the energy gap T at 77[K] of the first host material and the phosphorescent metal complex 77K It is also preferable that satisfies the relationship of the following mathematical formula (Mathematical Formula 3A). T 77K (H1)>T 77K (GP2) …(Math 3A)

[0689] In one embodiment, the energy gap T at 77[K] of the first host material and the phosphorescent metal complex 77K and the lowest excited singlet energy S1(D) of the fluorescent material preferably satisfy the relationship of the following mathematical formula (Mathematical Formula 3B): T 77K (H1)>T 77K (GP2)>S1(D) …(Math 3B)

[0690] The lowest excited singlet energy S1(D) of the fluorescent material and the energy gap T at 77[K] of the fluorescent material 77K(D) usually satisfies the relationship of the following mathematical formula (Math. 3C). S1(D)>T 77K (D) …(Number 3C)

[0691] In one embodiment, it is also preferable that the lowest excited singlet energy S1(H1) of the first host material and the lowest excited singlet energy S1(GP2) of the phosphorescent metal complex satisfy the relationship of the following mathematical formula (Mathematical Formula 5). S1(H1)>S1(GP2) ... (Number 5)

[0692] In one embodiment, it is also preferable that the lowest excited singlet energy S1(GP2) of the phosphorescent metal complex and the lowest excited singlet energy S1(D) of the fluorescent material satisfy the relationship of the following mathematical formula (Mathematical Formula 5A). S1(GP2)>S1(D)…(Number 5A)

[0693] In one embodiment, it is also preferable that the lowest excited singlet energy S1 of the first host material, the phosphorescent metal complex, and the fluorescent material satisfy the relationship of the following mathematical formula (Mathematical Formula 5B). S1(H1)>S1(GP2)>S1(D)…(Number 5B)

[0694] In one aspect of the third embodiment, the sensitizing material is a delayed fluorescent compound. In one aspect of the third embodiment, the emitting layer contains a delayed fluorescent compound as a sensitizing material, and may not contain a phosphorescent metal complex.

[0695] FIG. 5 shows an example of the relationship between the energy levels of a first host material (third compound), a delayed fluorescent compound (second compound) as a sensitizer, and a fluorescent material (first compound) in an emitting layer. In FIG. 5, S0 represents the ground state. S1(M3) represents the lowest excited singlet state of the first host material, and T1(M3) represents the lowest excited triplet state of the first host material. S1(M2) represents the lowest excited singlet state of the delayed fluorescent compound, and T1(M2) represents the lowest excited triplet state of the delayed fluorescent compound. S1(M1) represents the lowest excited singlet state of the fluorescent material, and T1(M1) represents the lowest excited triplet state of the fluorescent material. The dashed arrow from S1(M2) to S1(M1) in FIG. 5 represents Förster energy transfer from the lowest excited singlet state of the delayed fluorescent compound to the lowest excited singlet state of the fluorescent material. As shown in Figure 5, when a compound with a small ΔST(M2) is used as the delayed fluorescent compound, the lowest excited triplet state T1(M2) can undergo reverse intersystem crossing to the lowest excited singlet state S1(M2) due to thermal energy. Then, Förster-type energy transfer occurs from the lowest excited singlet state S1(M2) of the delayed fluorescent compound to the fluorescent material, generating the lowest excited singlet state S1(M1). As a result, fluorescence emission from the lowest excited singlet state S1(M1) of the fluorescent material can be observed. It is believed that the internal quantum efficiency can theoretically be increased to 100% by utilizing delayed fluorescence via this TADF mechanism.

[0696] In one embodiment, it is also preferable that the lowest excited singlet energy S1(GT2) of the delayed fluorescent compound and the lowest excited singlet energy S1(D) of the fluorescent material satisfy the relationship of the following mathematical formula (Mathematical Formula 4).

[0697] In one embodiment, it is also preferable that the lowest excited singlet energy S1(H1) of the first host material and the lowest excited singlet energy S1(GT2) of the delayed fluorescent compound satisfy the relationship of the following mathematical formula (Mathematical Formula 4A). S1(H1)>S1(GT2) ... (Math 4A)

[0698] In one embodiment, it is also preferable that the lowest excited singlet energy S1 of the first host material, the delayed fluorescent compound, and the fluorescent material satisfy the relationship of the following mathematical formula (Mathematical Formula 4B). S1(H1)>S1(GT2)>S1(D)…(Number 4B)

T 77K (H1)>T 77K (GT2)>T 77K (D) …(Number 6B)

[0703] The maximum peak wavelength of light emitted from the organic EL element is measured as follows. Current density is 10mA / cm 2A voltage is applied to the organic EL element so that the spectral radiance spectrum is measured using a spectroradiometer CS-2000 (manufactured by Konica Minolta, Inc.) In the obtained spectral radiance spectrum, the peak wavelength of the emission spectrum at which the emission intensity is maximum is measured and this is defined as the maximum peak wavelength (unit: nm).

[0704] (Compound content in the light-emitting layer) The contents of the first host material (third compound), the sensitizing material (second compound), and the fluorescent material (first compound) contained in the light-emitting layer are preferably within the following ranges, for example.

[0705] The content of the first host material (third compound) in the light-emitting layer is preferably 50% by mass or more, and more preferably 70% by mass or more. The content of the first host material (third compound) in the light-emitting layer is preferably 95% by mass or less, and more preferably 90% by mass or less.

[0706] When the sensitizing material (second compound) is a delayed fluorescent compound, the content of the delayed fluorescent compound in the light-emitting layer is preferably 5% by mass or more, and more preferably 10% by mass or more. The content of the delayed fluorescent compound in the light-emitting layer is preferably 50% by mass or less, and more preferably 30% by mass or less.

[0707] When the sensitizing material (second compound) is a phosphorescent metal complex, the content of the phosphorescent metal complex in the light-emitting layer is preferably 5% by mass or more, and more preferably 10% by mass or more. The content of the phosphorescent metal complex in the light-emitting layer is preferably 50% by mass or less, and more preferably 30% by mass or less.

Note that this embodiment does not exclude the case where the light-emitting layer contains materials other than the first host material, sensitizing material, and fluorescent material. In the third embodiment, the light-emitting layer may contain only one type of first host material, sensitizing material, and fluorescent material, or may contain two or more types of each.

[0709] (Thickness of the light-emitting layer) The thickness of the light-emitting layer in the organic EL device of the third embodiment is preferably 5 nm or more and 50 nm or less, more preferably 7 nm or more and 50 nm or less, and even more preferably 10 nm or more and 50 nm or less.

[0710] The structure of the organic EL element will be further explained.

[0711] (substrate) The substrate is used as a support for the organic EL element. Examples of materials that can be used for the substrate include glass, quartz, and plastic. A flexible substrate may also be used. A flexible substrate is a substrate that can be bent (flexible), and examples thereof include a plastic substrate. Examples of materials for forming the plastic substrate include polycarbonate, polyarylate, polyethersulfone, polypropylene, polyester, polyvinyl fluoride, polyvinyl chloride, polyimide, and polyethylene naphthalate. Inorganic vapor-deposited films may also be used.

[0712] (anode) The anode formed on the substrate is preferably made of a metal, alloy, electrically conductive compound, or mixture thereof with a large work function (specifically, 4.0 eV or higher). Specific examples include indium tin oxide (ITO), indium tin oxide containing silicon or silicon oxide, indium zinc oxide, tungsten oxide, indium oxide containing zinc oxide, and graphene. Other examples include gold (Au), platinum (Pt), nickel (Ni), tungsten (W), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), palladium (Pd), titanium (Ti), or nitrides of metal materials (e.g., titanium nitride).

[0713] These materials are usually formed into films by sputtering. For example, indium oxide-zinc oxide can be formed by sputtering using a target containing 1% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less of zinc oxide added to indium oxide. Furthermore, for example, indium oxide containing tungsten oxide and zinc oxide can be formed by sputtering using a target containing 0.5% by mass or more and 5% by mass or less of tungsten oxide and 0.1% by mass or more and 1% by mass or less of zinc oxide relative to indium oxide.

[0714] Of the EL layers formed on the anode, the hole injection layer formed in contact with the anode is formed using a composite material that easily injects holes regardless of the work function of the anode, so materials that can be used as electrode materials (for example, metals, alloys, electrically conductive compounds, and mixtures of these, as well as elements belonging to Group 1 or Group 2 of the periodic table) can be used.

The content of the phosphorescent metal complex in the light-emitting layer is preferably 50% by mass or less, and more preferably 30% by mass or less.

[0775] When the sensitizing material (second compound) is a delayed fluorescent compound, the content of the delayed fluorescent compound in the light-emitting layer is preferably 5% by mass or more, and more preferably 10% by mass or more. The content of the delayed fluorescent compound in the light-emitting layer is preferably 50% by mass or less, and more preferably 30% by mass or less.

[0777] The organic EL element according to the sixth embodiment can improve the luminous efficiency of the organic EL element, and can be used in electronic devices such as display devices and light-emitting devices.

[0778] Seventh Embodiment (electronic equipment) An electronic device according to a seventh embodiment is equipped with the organic electroluminescence element according to any one of the above-described embodiments. Examples of the electronic device include a display device and a light-emitting device. Examples of the display device include display components (e.g., an organic EL panel module), televisions, mobile phones, tablets, and personal computers. Examples of the light-emitting device include lighting and vehicle lighting fixtures. The light-emitting device can be used in a display device, for example, as a backlight for a display device.

[0779] The display device as the electronic device according to the seventh embodiment is preferably an organic EL display device having organic EL elements as red, green, and blue pixels.

[0780] [Modification of the embodiment] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and any modifications and improvements that can achieve the object of the present invention are included in the present invention.

[0781] For example, the number of light-emitting layers is not limited to one, and multiple light-emitting layers may be stacked. When the organic EL element has multiple light-emitting layers, it is sufficient that at least one of the light-emitting layers satisfies the conditions described in the above embodiment. For example, the other light-emitting layers may be fluorescent light-emitting layers or phosphorescent light-emitting layers that utilize light emission due to electron transition from a triplet excited state directly to the ground state. Furthermore, when the organic EL element has a plurality of light-emitting layers, these light-emitting layers may be provided adjacent to each other, or the organic EL element may be a so-called tandem type organic EL element in which a plurality of light-emitting units are stacked via an intermediate layer.

[0782] Furthermore, for example, a blocking layer may be provided adjacent to at least one of the anode side and the cathode side of the light-emitting layer. The blocking layer is preferably disposed in contact with the light-emitting layer and blocks at least one of holes, electrons, and excitons. For example, when a blocking layer is disposed adjacent to the cathode side of the light-emitting layer, the blocking layer transports electrons and prevents holes from reaching a layer (e.g., an electron transport layer) located closer to the cathode than the blocking layer. When the organic EL device includes an electron transport layer, it is preferable to include the blocking layer between the light-emitting layer and the electron transport layer. Furthermore, when a blocking layer is disposed in contact with the light-emitting layer on the anode side, the blocking layer transports holes and prevents electrons from reaching a layer (e.g., a hole transport layer) located closer to the anode than the blocking layer. When the organic EL device includes a hole transport layer, it is preferable to include the blocking layer between the light-emitting layer and the hole transport layer. A barrier layer may be provided adjacent to the light-emitting layer to prevent excitation energy from leaking from the light-emitting layer to surrounding layers, and prevents excitons generated in the light-emitting layer from migrating to layers closer to the electrode than the barrier layer (e.g., electron transport layer and hole transport layer). The light-emitting layer and the barrier layer are preferably in contact with each other.

The ITO transparent electrode had a thickness of 130nm. The glass substrate with the cleaned transparent electrode lines was mounted on a substrate holder of a vacuum deposition apparatus, and first, compound HT-1 and compound HA were co-deposited on the surface on which the transparent electrode lines were formed so as to cover the transparent electrode, thereby forming a hole injection layer with a thickness of 10 nm. The proportion of compound HT-1 in the hole injection layer was 97 mass %, and the proportion of compound HA was 3 mass %. Next, the compound HT-1 was vapor-deposited on the hole injection layer to form a first hole transport layer with a thickness of 60 nm. Next, compound EBL-1 was vapor-deposited on the first hole-transporting layer to form a second hole-transporting layer (also referred to as an electron blocking layer) having a thickness of 5 nm. Next, on the second hole transport layer, Compound BH-1 as a first host material, Compound BH-2 as a second host material, Compound PD-1 as a sensitizing material, and Compound BD-1 as a fluorescent material (first compound) were co-deposited to form an emitting layer with a thickness of 30 nm. The proportions of Compounds BH-1 and BH-2 in the emitting layer were each 43.9 mass %, the proportion of Compound PD-1 was 11.0 mass %, and the proportion of Compound BD-1 was 1.2 mass %. Next, compound HBL-1 was vapor-deposited on the light-emitting layer to form a hole-blocking layer with a thickness of 5 nm. Next, the compounds ET-1 and Liq were co-deposited on the hole blocking layer to form an electron transport layer with a thickness of 30 nm. The proportion of the compound ET-1 in the electron transport layer was 50 mass %, and the proportion of Liq was 50 mass %. Liq is an abbreviation for (8-quinolinolato)lithium. Next, LiF was vapor-deposited on the electron transport layer to form an electron injection layer with a thickness of 1 nm. Then, metallic aluminum (Al) was vapor-deposited on the electron injection layer to form a metallic Al cathode with a film thickness of 50 nm. In this manner, an organic EL element according to Example 1 was produced. The device configuration of the organic EL element according to Example 1 is shown in outline below.

[0794] <Evaluation of organic EL elements> The organic EL devices thus fabricated were evaluated as follows. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1.

[0795] (External quantum efficiency EQE) The current density of the fabricated organic EL device was 10.00mA / cm 2The spectral radiance spectrum when a voltage was applied so that the value was 1 / 2 was measured using a spectroradiometer CS-2000 (manufactured by Konica Minolta, Inc.). From the obtained spectral radiance spectrum, the external quantum efficiency EQE (unit: %) was calculated assuming that Lambertian radiation was performed. The "EQE (relative value)" (unit: %) was calculated based on the measured EQE values ​​of each example (Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2) and the following mathematical formula (Math 1X). EQE (relative value) = (EQE of each example / EQE of Comparative Example 1) × 100 (equation 1X)
