Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a material for forming an organic film, a composition for forming an organic film, a method for producing an organic film, and organic electroluminescence. The present invention relates to an element, a display device, and a lighting device. [Background technology]
[0002] As a thin-film electroluminescent device, organic electroluminescent devices using organic thin films are being developed. An organic electroluminescent device (OLED) usually has a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, and a The layer is an organic light-emitting layer, an organic light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, etc., and materials suitable for each layer are being developed. Development is also underway for red, green, and blue light colors.
[0003] In addition, the organic layer of the organic electroluminescent device can be formed by vacuum deposition or wet film formation (coating). The vacuum deposition method is easy to form layers, so it is possible to use the electrons from the anode and / or cathode. It has the advantages of improving charge injection and facilitating exciton confinement in the light-emitting layer. The film formation method does not require a vacuum process, is easy to scale up, and can mix multiple materials with various functions. By using a mixed coating solution, it is possible to easily form layers containing multiple materials with various functions. Therefore, in recent years, organic electroluminescence devices using wet film formation methods have become popular. Research and development of optical elements is being carried out vigorously.
[0004] In displays using these organic electroluminescent devices, high definition and wide color gamut, i.e. In addition to high color gamut, a long lifespan that maintains brightness and chromaticity is required. There is also a demand for high luminous efficiency, emission with high color purity, and long operating life. The structure for extracting light emitted from the elements inside the display is a top emitter that does not pass through the TFT substrate. In this case, high luminous efficiency and color purity can be achieved by making strong use of optical interference. However, the wavelength range of the emission spectrum that can be extracted is narrower, so The development of devices and light-emitting materials that can emit light with a full half-width is becoming increasingly important.
[0005] As a method to achieve both long life and high efficiency, we have developed an organic electrochemical device using a material that exhibits thermally activated delayed fluorescence. The development of light-emitting devices has been widely carried out. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a light-emitting device that exhibits thermally activated delayed fluorescence. The structure of the guest is widely disclosed. Patent Document 2 discloses a host material that exhibits thermally activated delayed fluorescence. Patent Document 3 discloses a method of using another fluorescent material as a guest in a thermally activated slow-release material. Organic electroluminescence using a host material that exhibits extended fluorescence and sensitizing emission from a highly efficient phosphorescent dye In both of these documents, an indium fluoride is used as an electron donating group for charge transfer transition. Isocarbazole is featured.
[0006] In addition, Patent Documents 4 and 5 disclose compounds having a polycyclic heterocyclic compound skeleton containing boron and nitrogen. and an organic electroluminescent device having a light-emitting layer containing a light-emitting material. The light-emitting element emits light with a narrow half-width, and is suitable for the top-emission display. is. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] However, the inventors have found that the techniques disclosed in the above Patent Documents 1 to 5 are It was found that each of these has the following problems. The organic electroluminescent devices described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 have the performance required for modern displays. In addition, the half-width of the emission spectrum was wide, and the top emission The material also has a structure suitable for vapor deposition type organic electroluminescent devices. However, the structure does not have a suitable dissolution stability for a coating composition. The organic electroluminescent devices described in Patent Documents 4 and 5 exhibit narrow half-width emission, but The dynamic life was short and the luminescence characteristics were insufficient.
[0009] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and provides a light emitting diode (LED) having high luminous efficiency and long operating life. The present invention aims to provide an organic film-forming material that can provide an organic electroluminescent device with a long life. This is a major issue. [Means for solving the problem]

[0137] The substituents that A1 to A7 may have can be selected from the substituent group ZF described below. do.
[0138] Each of A1 to A7 independently represents a fluorine atom or an alkyl group which may have a substituent. When A1 to A7 are each a hydrogen atom, their electron-accepting properties make it more preferable than when A1 to A7 are each a hydrogen atom. The emission wavelength will be slightly shorter or longer, so select the substituent according to the desired wavelength. is preferred.
[0139] In addition, when a wet film-forming method is used, A1 to A7 each independently improve the solubility in a solvent. For the purpose of improving the solubility, a long-chain alkyl group is preferred.
[0140] Among A1 to A7, the degree of localization of the LUMO electron cloud is not uniform, but varies depending on the position. Therefore, among A1 to A7, the longer wavelength is due to the electron-accepting substituent. The positions where the effect is strongest are A4>A1=A7>A3=A5>A2=A6. That is, the effect of electron-accepting substituents on wavelength increase is strongest in A4. It appears quickly.
[0141] Therefore, at least one selected from A1, A4, and A7 has electron acceptor properties. It is preferable that the substituent is a group represented by the formula (71-5), and more preferable that the substituent is a group represented by the formula (71-5) .
[0142] When both A1 and A7 are electron-accepting substituents, only A4 is an electron-accepting substituent. Compared to the case where the substituent has acceptor properties, the effect of increasing the wavelength is almost the same. In addition, two or more selected from A1 to A7 are electron-accepting substituents. It is preferable for the wavelength to be longer, and two or more selected from A1 to A7 are electron acceptors. and at least one of A4 is an electron-accepting substituent. is preferable because it further increases the wavelength.
[0143] In the formula (71), the single bonds connecting A1 to A7 and the adjacent phenyl groups are twisted. The π plane of the main aromatic hydrocarbon group of the adjacent phenyl group and the electron-accepting substituent is It is preferable to avoid twisting. This twisting allows electrons to pass between adjacent phenyl groups. The charge transfer between the acceptor substituents is difficult to carry out smoothly, and the luminescence of the above formula (71) This is because the wavelength is less likely to be lengthened.

Also, R 71 ~R 78 Preferably, two or more selected from the above are electron-donating substituents. This is preferable because it results in a longer wavelength.
[0166] Among these, electron-donating substituents are preferred because they are suitable for longer wavelengths and easier to produce by organic synthesis. From the viewpoint of the balance of structural stability, the group represented by the above formula (71-2) is preferred. I wish.
[0167] The group represented by the above formula (71-2) has a relatively small absolute value of α and is suitable for shifting the emission wavelength to a longer wavelength. In addition, the group represented by the above formula (71-2) can be obtained relatively easily in organic synthesis. Even if you want to improve the solubility in solvents, 709 ~R 716 Long chain a The alkyl group can be introduced relatively easily.
[0168] R 709 ~R 716 At least one selected from the above is soluble in a solvent and easy to synthesize. From the viewpoint of size, a tert-butyl group is preferred.

Also, if the dotted line is a single bond, the electron access in A1 to A7 Substituent groups and R 71 ~R 78 By introducing electron-donating substituents in It becomes easier.
[0174] The compound represented by the formula (71) is asymmetric, which narrows the half width of the emission wavelength. This is preferable because it has the effect of reducing the symmetry in the asymmetric type. The compounds represented by formula (71) are less likely to associate with each other, and the interaction between the compounds represented by formula (71) is reduced.

[0191] <Effects of the organic film-forming material of the present invention> The organic film forming material according to the embodiment of the present invention is suitably used as a material for forming a light emitting layer. The reason why this material is effective in organic electroluminescent devices using this material in the light-emitting layer is unclear. However, it is speculated as follows. When using a compound with a carbazole skeleton, the benzene ring contained in the skeleton is electron-dense. The reactivity of the 3rd and 6th positions is particularly high, and it is thought that they react easily with electron-donating compounds. Therefore, it is believed that the degradation of this compound causes a decrease in the operating life. In contrast, the compound represented by formula (2) has an indolocarbazole skeleton. It is believed that the deterioration of the compound due to the above mechanism can be suppressed. In addition, the compound represented by formula (71) has an empty p orbital on the boron atom, so various It tends to react with various reactive species and deteriorate easily. The degradation products produced by the reaction with electron-donating compounds at the ion-exchange position cause further degradation reactions, and the catalyst This is thought to cause a decrease in dynamic life. Since the compound represented by formula (2) has an indolocarbazole skeleton, No reaction occurs between the degradation products derived from the hydroxyl skeleton and the compound represented by formula (71). The organic film-forming material of the present invention contains a compound represented by formula (2) and a compound represented by formula (71). The organic electroluminescent device using the material in the light-emitting layer is resistant to deterioration of the compound that constitutes the device, and the driving It is believed that the dynamic life will be longer. The compound represented by formula (2) is a wide-gap material, and the compound represented by formula (71) It is thought that the excited state on the compound is difficult to quench. It is believed that the MO is deep and can transfer charge effectively to the compound represented by formula (71). Furthermore, both the compound represented by formula (2) and the compound represented by formula (71) are planar. By improving the molecular orientation within the film, charge and energy transfer between molecules can be improved. As a result, an organic electroluminescent device using the organic film-forming material of the present invention in the light-emitting layer can be is considered to show high efficiency.
[0192] <Phosphorescent compounds> The organic film-forming material of the present invention preferably contains a phosphorescent compound. When the material for use contains a phosphorescent compound, the phosphorescent compound can be emitted by using the material for the light-emitting layer. The excitons generated on the luminescent compound are effectively transferred to the compound represented by formula (71) to emit light. This allows direct bonding of the compound represented by formula (71) The suppression of exciton generation of the compound suppresses deterioration of the compound, and the compound contained in the light-emitting layer In particular, the phosphorescent compound is In the case of a compound represented by formula (7), hole trapping by a compound represented by formula (71) The compound represented by formula (7) has high luminous efficiency and is therefore preferably Therefore, the material is suitable for energy transfer to the compound represented by formula (71). Organic electroluminescent devices containing it in the light-emitting layer are believed to be highly efficient.
