[0091] The organic compound according to one embodiment of the present invention and an example of a synthesis method thereof have been described above. The present invention is not limited to this, and other synthesis methods may be used for synthesis.

[0092] The structure shown in this embodiment mode may be used in appropriate combination with structures shown in other embodiments. can be done.

[0093] (Embodiment 2) In this embodiment mode, a light-emitting element using the organic compound shown in Embodiment Mode 1 will be described with reference to FIG. and explain.

[0094] <Basic structure of light-emitting element> First, the basic structure of a light-emitting element will be described. Specifically, the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 are connected to each other. It has a structure in which an EL layer 103 is sandwiched between an electrode 102 .

[0095] In addition, in FIG. 1(B), a plurality of EL layers (two layers in FIG. 1(B)) are disposed between a pair of electrodes. a, 103b), and a stacked structure (tandem structure) having a charge generating layer 104 between the EL layers. A light-emitting element having a tandem structure can be driven at a low voltage and consumes less power. A light emitting device with low light emission can be realized.

[0096] When a voltage is applied to the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102, the charge generating layer 104 generates a Electrons are injected into one EL layer (103a or 103b) and the other EL layer (103b or 1B, the first electrode 1 When a voltage is applied to the charge generating layer 101 so that the potential of the charge generating layer 101 is higher than that of the second electrode 102, Electrons are injected from the electrode 4 into the EL layer 103a, and holes are injected into the EL layer 103b. .

[0097] The charge generating layer 104 is transparent to visible light from the viewpoint of light extraction efficiency. (Specifically, it is preferable that the transmittance of visible light through the charge generating layer 104 is 40% or more.) In addition, the charge generating layer 104 has a lower conductivity than the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102. It still works.

[0098] 1(C) shows the EL layer 103 shown in FIG. 1(A) (EL layer 103 shown in FIG. 1(B)). a, 103b) has a laminated structure) shows an example of a laminated structure In this case, however, the first electrode 101 functions as an anode. The EL layer 103 On the first electrode 101, a hole injection layer 111, a hole transport layer 112, It has a structure in which a light-emitting layer 113, an electron transport layer 114, and an electron injection layer 115 are laminated in this order. In addition, even in the case of a tandem structure having a plurality of EL layers as shown in FIG. 1(B), each EL layer is The structure is such that the layers are stacked in order from the anode side as described above. The first electrode 101 is the cathode, When the second electrode 102 is an anode, the stacking order of the EL layers is reversed.

[0099] The light-emitting layers 113 included in the EL layers (103, 103a, 103b) each contain a light-emitting material or By appropriately combining multiple substances, fluorescent or phosphorescent light of the desired color can be obtained. Furthermore, the light-emitting layer 113 may have a laminated structure that emits light of different colors. In this case, the luminescent material and other materials used in each of the laminated luminescent layers are different from each other. In addition, the plurality of EL layers (103a, 103b) shown in FIG. In this case, different luminescent colors may be obtained from the respective luminescent layers. The light-emitting material and other materials may be different materials.

[0100] In the light-emitting element of one embodiment of the present invention, the EL layer (103, 103a, 103b) The light emission obtained in the above can be made to resonate between the two electrodes, thereby enhancing the light emission obtained. For example, in FIG. 1C, the first electrode 101 is a reflective electrode, and the second electrode 10 By using 2 as a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective electrode, a micro-optical resonator (microcavity) structure is formed. This can enhance the light emission from the EL layer 103.

[0101] The first electrode 101 of the light-emitting element is made of a conductive material having reflectivity and a conductive material having light-transmitting property. When the reflective electrode has a laminated structure with a transparent conductive material (transparent conductive film), the thickness of the transparent conductive film must be controlled. Specifically, the light emitting layer 113 can be optically adjusted by controlling the light emitting layer 113. The distance between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 is mλ / 2 where λ is the wavelength of light. (where m is a natural number)

[0102] In order to amplify the desired light (wavelength: λ) obtained from the light emitting layer 113, the first electrode the optical distance from 101 to the region (light-emitting region) of the light-emitting layer 113 where desired light is obtained, and the optical distance from the electrode 102 to the region (light-emitting region) of the light-emitting layer 113 where desired light is obtained, , and are adjusted to be close to (2m'+1)λ / 4 (where m' is a natural number). It is preferable that the light-emitting region is a region where holes in the light-emitting layer 113 and The recombination region with electrons is shown.

[0103] By performing such optical adjustment, the spectrum of a specific monochromatic light obtained from the light-emitting layer 113 can be adjusted. This narrows the line width of the light source, thereby enabling light emission with good color purity to be obtained.

[0104] However, in the above case, strictly speaking, the optical distance between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 is The total thickness from the reflective area of ​​the first electrode 101 to the reflective area of ​​the second electrode 102 is called However, it is difficult to precisely define the reflective areas of the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102. Since it is difficult to determine the position of the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102, The above effect can be obtained by assuming the first The optical distance between the electrode 101 and the light-emitting layer from which the desired light is obtained is, strictly speaking, 1 / 3 of the optical distance between the electrode 101 and the light-emitting layer from which the desired light is obtained. The optical distance is the distance between the reflection area in the light emitting layer and the light emitting area in the light emitting layer from which the desired light is obtained. However, it is possible to reduce the reflection area in the first electrode 101 and the emission area that can obtain the desired light. Since it is difficult to precisely determine the light-emitting region in the optical layer, the first electrode 101 may be arbitrarily selected. The position of the light emitting layer where the desired light is obtained is assumed to be the reflective region, and any position of the light emitting layer where the desired light is obtained is assumed to be the emitting region. It is assumed that the above-mentioned effects can be sufficiently obtained.

[0105] When the light-emitting element shown in FIG. 1C has a microcavity structure, the EL layer is common. Therefore, different wavelengths of light (monochromatic light) can be extracted. This eliminates the need for separate coloring (for example, RGB) for the color layer, enabling high definition. It is also possible to combine it with a color filter. This makes it possible to strengthen the signal, thereby reducing power consumption.

[0106] The light-emitting element shown in FIG. 1(E) is an example of the light-emitting element having the tandem structure shown in FIG. 1(B). As shown in the figure, three EL layers (103a, 103b, 103c) are connected to a charge generating layer (10 The three EL layers (103a, 104a, 104b) are stacked on top of each other. Each of the light-emitting layers (113a, 113b, 113c) has a light-emitting layer (113a, 113b, 113c). Therefore, the light emitting colors of the light emitting layers can be freely combined. The light-emitting layer 113b is red, green, or yellow, and the light-emitting layer 113c is blue. However, the light-emitting layer 113a can be red, and the light-emitting layer 113b can be blue, green, or yellow. Either of these may be used, and the light-emitting layer 113c may be red.

[0107] In the light-emitting element according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first electrode 101 and the second electrode At least one of the electrodes 102 is a light-transmitting electrode (transparent electrode, semi-transmitting / semi-reflective electrode, etc.). When the electrode having light transmission is a transparent electrode, the visible light transmittance of the transparent electrode shall be 40% or more. In the case of a semi-transmissive / semi-reflective electrode, the reflectance of the semi-transmissive / semi-reflective electrode for visible light is The ratio is 20% or more and 80% or less, preferably 40% or more and 70% or less. , resistivity is 1×10 -2 It is preferable to set it to Ωcm or less.

[0108] In the above-described light-emitting element which is one embodiment of the present invention, the first electrode 101 and the second electrode When one of the electrodes 102 is a reflective electrode, the possibility of the reflective electrode The reflectance of visible light is set to 40% or more and 100% or less, preferably 70% or more and 100% or less. In addition, this electrode has a resistivity of 1×10 -2 It is preferable to set it to Ωcm or less.

[0109] <Specific structure of light-emitting element and manufacturing method> Next, a specific structure and a manufacturing method of the light-emitting element shown in FIG. 1, which is one embodiment of the present invention, will be described.
