[0106] (Embodiment 2) In this embodiment, a light-emitting device using a compound according to one embodiment of the present invention is preferably used. An example will be described. As shown in FIG. 1(A), the light-emitting device has a first electrode 1 1A shows the case of an anode), and a second electrode 102 (FIG. 1A shows the case of an anode). , and the cathode are shown), and the EL layer 103 is sandwiched between a pair of electrodes. The EL layer 103 includes at least a light-emitting layer 113 and a hole injection layer 111. , a hole transport layer 112, an electron transport layer 114, an electron injection layer 115, and other functional layers are provided. It can be done.

[0107] The light-emitting layer 113 contains a light-emitting material (guest material) and a host material. In this device, by applying a voltage between a pair of electrodes, electrons are emitted from the cathode and holes are emitted from the anode. (holes) are injected into the EL layer 103, causing a current to flow. The recombination of carriers (electrons and holes) at The light emitted from the light-emitting device is obtained by converting the electrons into light. The light-emitting layer 113 shown in FIG. 1(B) is an energy acceptor and a light-emitting material. Compound 132 acts as a guest material, and compound 133 acts as an energy donor and a host. Therefore, in this embodiment, one of the present invention The case where the compound according to the embodiment is used as a light-emitting substance (guest material) will be described. In the light-emitting layer 113, a plurality of compounds may function as host materials.

[0108] Of the excitons generated by carrier recombination, the rate of singlet excitons is 25%. The rate at which triplet excitons are generated is 75%, so triplet excitons are generated in addition to singlet excitons. It is preferable to make the electrons contribute to light emission in order to improve the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting device. Here, in the light-emitting layer 113, energy transfer occurs between the guest material and the host material. The concept of this movement will be explained using Figure 2. Note that Figure 2(A) shows a typical guest material ( The structure of the fluorescent material is shown, and the relationship between the guest material and the host material when this is used is shown. FIG. 2(B) shows the concept of energy transfer between compounds according to one embodiment of the present invention. The structure of 132 is shown, and when this is used as a guest material, the guest material and the host This illustrates the concept of energy transfer between materials.

[0109] FIG. 2(A) shows a compound 131 as a host material and a fluorescent material 124 as a guest material. The fluorescent material 124 is a general fluorescent material, It is a fluorescent substance that has a photophore 124a but does not have a protecting group.

[0110] FIG. 2B shows a compound 131 as a host material and a compound 132 as a guest material. The figure shows the state in which a compound (fluorescent substance) 132 is present. , a fluorescent emitting material that functions as an energy acceptor in a light emitting device; The compound (host material) has a luminophore 132a and a protecting group 132b. Energy transfer from the luminophore 131 to the luminophore 132a based on the Dexter mechanism is unlikely to occur. It has the function of keeping a certain distance between them.

[0111] As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, in the light-emitting layer 113, the compound 131, which is a host material, The guest material, fluorescent material 124 and compound (fluorescent material) 132, Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2(A), the fluorescent material 124 is retained. When the compound 131 does not have a protective group, the distance between the luminophore 124a and the compound 131 becomes short. The energy transfer from 131 to the fluorescent material 124 is via the Förster mechanism. Energy transfer (Route A6 in Figure 2(A)) and energy transfer via the Dexter mechanism (Figure 2 In (A), both route A7) can occur. The triplet excited energy is transferred to the guest material, and the triplet excited state of the guest material is Even if generated, if the guest material is a fluorescent material, the triplet excitation energy is lost non-radiatively. This is one of the reasons for the decrease in the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device.

[0112] On the other hand, in FIG. 2B, a compound (fluorescent substance) 132 as a guest material is attached to a protecting group 13 The presence of 2b increases the distance between the luminophore 132a and the compound 131, which is the host material. This suppresses the energy transfer via the Dexter mechanism (route A7). It is possible.

[0113] Here, the luminophore 124a contained in the fluorescent substance 124 shown in FIG. 2(A) and the luminophore 124b contained in the fluorescent substance 124 shown in FIG. 2(B) The luminophore 132a contained in the compound (fluorescent material) 132 shown in The group (124a, 132a) is an atomic group (skeleton) that causes luminescence in a fluorescent substance. ) refers to the luminophores (124a, 132a) which generally have π bonds and contain aromatic rings. It is preferable that the compound has a condensed aromatic ring or a condensed heteroaromatic ring. Examples of the fused aromatic ring or fused heteroaromatic ring contained in the group (124a, 132a) include: Phenanthrene skeleton, stilbene skeleton, acridone skeleton, phenoxazine skeleton, phenothion In particular, naphthalene skeleton, anthracene skeleton, fluorene skeleton, Chrysene skeleton, triphenylene skeleton, tetracene skeleton, pyrene skeleton, perylene skeleton, coumarine skeleton Examples include a phosphorus skeleton, a quinacridone skeleton, and a naphthobisbenzofuran skeleton. The luminophore 132a possessed by the compound 132 according to one embodiment of the present invention is, in particular, an anthracene skeleton. The rank is preferred.

[0114] The protecting group 132b of the compound (fluorescent substance) 132 shown in FIG. 2(B) is , a T1 level higher than the T1 levels of the luminophore 132a and the host material, compound 131. It is preferable that the protecting group 13 of the compound 132 of one embodiment of the present invention is Specific examples of 2b are preferably cycloalkyl groups having a crosslinked structure and having 7 to 10 carbon atoms. In addition, alkyl groups having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl groups having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, Examples of such protective groups include a trialkyl group having 3 to 12 carbon atoms and a trialkylsilyl group having 3 to 12 carbon atoms. By having the protective group 132b, a bulky structure can be obtained. Increasing the distance between the luminophore 132a of the compound 132 and the compound 131, which is the host material. can be done.

[0115] Next, a structure of a light-emitting layer of the light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0116] <Emitting layer configuration example 1> In this example, the light-emitting layer 113 in the light-emitting device is made of a compound that functions as a host material. The compound 131 functions as a light-emitting material (guest material), and the compound 132 functions as a light-emitting material (guest material). The TADF material is used as the compound 132 that functions as a light-emitting material (guest material). The case where a fluorescent substance is used will be described. It is preferable to use the compound 132 as a light-emitting substance. An example of the correlation of energy levels in the light-emitting layer 113 is shown in FIG. The notations and symbols shown in FIG. 3(A) are as follows: ·Host(131): Compound 131 ·Guest(132): Compound 132 T C1 :T1 level of compound 131 ·S C1 : S1 level of compound 131 ·S G : S1 level of compound 132 T G :T1 level of compound 132

[0117] In this example, compound 131 is a material having TADF, and therefore has triplet excitation energy It has the function of converting energy into singlet excitation energy by upconversion (Figure Route A1 in 3(A). The singlet excitation energy of compound 131 is rapidly converted to The compound 131 is transferred to compound 132 (Route A2 in Figure 3(A)). C1 and S of compound 132 G The relationship between C1 ≧S G However, S C1 is a compound Draw a tangent at the short wavelength side of the fluorescence spectrum of the substance 131, and calculate the energy of the wavelength of the extrapolated line. Also, S G is the energy of the wavelength at the absorption edge of the absorption spectrum of compound 132 -Let's do this.

[0118] In this way, the triplet excitation energy generated in compound 131 can be calculated by route A1 and route A2. The energy is transferred to the S1 level of the guest material, compound 132, via the The compound 132 can be made to emit light efficiently, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device. In Route A2, compound 131 functions as an energy donor, and compound 132 functions as an energy donor. However, the light-emitting layer 11 of the light-emitting device shown in this configuration example In addition to the above, in 3, the triplet excitation energy generated in compound 131 is converted to the T This can also compete with the route to the first level (route A3 in Figure 3(A)). When the energy transfer (route A3) occurs, the fluorescent material, compound 132, is converted to triplet excited state. The luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device decreases because the energy cannot be used to emit light. .

[0119] Generally, the Förster mechanism (dipole-dipole interaction) is used as an intermolecular energy transfer mechanism. The Dexter mechanism (electron exchange interaction) is known. The distance between the energy donor compound and the energy acceptor compound is 1 nm. Therefore, the concentration of the energy acceptor compound is Therefore, as in this configuration example, Compound 132, which is a fluorescent material with a low triplet excitation energy level, has a concentration of When the triplet excitation energy of the energy donor compound 131 is higher, the triplet excitation energy of the The energy transfer via route A3 and subsequent non-radiative deactivation by the mechanism becomes dominant. Therefore, in order to suppress route A3, it is necessary to make it difficult for energy transfer via the Dexter mechanism to occur. It is important to increase the distance between compound 131 and compound 132 to a certain extent.

[0120] In addition, the T1 level (T G ) is compound 132 Therefore, the energy level of the light-emitting layer 113 is often derived from the luminophores contained in the light-emitting layer 113. In order to suppress route A3 in the luminophores, the distance between compound 131 and compound 132 was It is important to increase the distance.

[0121] To increase the distance between the energy donor and the luminophore of the energy acceptor, A common method is to reduce the concentration of the energy acceptor in the mixed film. However, when the concentration of the energy acceptor is reduced, Not only Dexter-based energy transfer to an energy acceptor, but also Fel The energy transfer based on the star mechanism is also suppressed. Because it is based on a star structure, there is a risk of a decrease in the luminous efficiency or reliability of the light-emitting device. On the other hand, the compound according to one embodiment of the present invention has a luminophore and a protecting group as part of its structure. and functions as an energy acceptor in the light-emitting layer 113. The protecting group has the function of increasing the distance between the luminophore and other energy donors. When the compound according to one embodiment of the present invention is used as compound 132 in this configuration, compound 1 The distance between 32 and compound 131 can be increased. When the distance between the acceptors and the bond is less than 1 nm, the Dexter mechanism predominates, and when the distance is more than 1 nm, the Dexter mechanism predominates. The Förster mechanism is dominant at 1 nm or less. Therefore, the protecting group should be placed at least 1 nm away from the luminophore. Bulky substituents extending over a range of 10 nm or less are preferred, and the compound of one embodiment of the present invention has The protecting group is preferably one of the protecting groups listed above. By using a compound similar to Compound 132, the concentration of Compound 132 was increased. While suppressing the energy transfer by the Dexter mechanism, the energy transfer by the Förster mechanism That is, the S1 level (S C1 ) to S1 level of compound 132 (S G ) to the singlet excitation energy (Route A2 ) is more likely to occur, while the T1 level (T G ) to Mie The transfer of excitation energy (Route A3: Energy transfer by the Dexter mechanism) occurs. This makes it possible to suppress the decrease in luminous efficiency due to the energy transfer of route A3. This can improve the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device. By increasing the energy transfer rate, the excited lifetime of the energy acceptor in the light-emitting layer is shortened. Therefore, the reliability of the light-emitting device can be improved. The concentration of compound 132 in 3 is 2w relative to the energy donor compound 131. The content is preferably t% or more and 50wt% or less, more preferably 5wt% or more and 30wt% or less, and even more preferably 10wt% or more and 20wt% or less. The content is preferably 5 wt% or more and 20 wt% or less.

[0122] <Emitting layer configuration example 2> In this example, the light-emitting layer 113 in the light-emitting device contains Compound 131, Compound 132, and and Compound 133, and Compound 131 and Compound 133 form an exciplex. Compound 132 is a compound having a structure in which a fluorescent material is used. Therefore, in one aspect of the present invention, A certain compound is preferably used as the fluorescent substance, compound 132. An example of the correlation of energy levels in the light-emitting layer 113 in this configuration example is shown in FIG. The notations and symbols shown in FIG. 3(B) are as follows: ·Comp(131): Compound 131 ·Comp(133): Compound 133 ·Guest(132): Compound 132 ·S C1 : S1 level of compound 131 T C1 :T1 level of compound 131 ·S C3 : S1 level of compound 133 T C3 :T1 level of compound 133 ·S G : S1 level of compound 132 T G :T1 level of compound 132 ·S E : S1 level of the exciplex T E :T1 level of exciplex

[0123] The combination of Compound 131 and Compound 133 is capable of forming an exciplex. Any combination is acceptable, but one of them is a compound that has the function of transporting holes (hole transport property). It is more preferred that one of the compounds is a compound having a function of transporting electrons (electron transport property). In this case, it becomes easier to form a donor-acceptor type exciplex, and excitation is efficient. In addition, the combination of Compound 131 and Compound 133 can form a complex. In the case of a combination of a compound having hole transport properties and a compound having electron transport properties, the mixture The carrier balance can be easily controlled by the combination ratio. The ratio of the compound having electron transport properties to the compound having electron transport properties is in the range of 1:9 to 9:1 (weight ratio). Moreover, by having such a configuration, the carrier balance can be easily controlled. Therefore, the carrier recombination region can be easily controlled.

[0124] In addition, as a combination of host materials that efficiently form exciplexes, Compound 131 and In compound 133, one HOMO level is higher than the other, and one LUMO It is preferable that the HOMO level of the compound 131 is higher than the LUMO level of the other compound. is equal to the HOMO level of compound 133, or the LUMO level of compound 131 is equal to the LUMO level of compound 13 The LUMO level may be equivalent to that of 3.

[0125] The LUMO and HOMO levels of the compounds were determined by cyclic voltammetry (CV ) measurements are derived from the electrochemical properties (reduction and oxidation potentials) of compounds. It is possible.

[0126] As shown in Figure 3(B), the S of the exciplex formed by Compound 131 and Compound 133 1 level (S E ) and T1 level (T E ) are adjacent energy levels (Figure 3 (See route A6 in (B)).

[0127] Excitation energy levels of exciplexes (S E and T E ) is the compound that forms the exciplex. The S1 level (S C1 and S C3 ) is lower, so This allows the formation of excited states with lower excitation energies. The driving voltage of the sensor can be reduced.

[0128] In addition, the S1 level of the exciplex (S E ) and T1 level (T E ) are adjacent energy levels Because of this position, reverse intersystem crossing is easily observed and the exciplex has TADF properties. The function of converting excitation energy into singlet excitation energy by upconversion The singlet excitation energy of the exciplex is rapidly released (Route A7 in Figure 3(B)). It can be transferred to compound 132 (Route A8 in Figure 3(B)). E ≧S G In Route A8, the exciplex is the energy donor, Compound 132 acts as an energy acceptor. Specifically, the fluorescence of the exciplex is Draw a tangent line at the short wavelength side of the spectrum, and let the wavelength energy of the extrapolated line be S E year , where S is the energy of the wavelength at the absorption edge of the absorption spectrum of compound 132. G When this is done, S E ≧ S G It is preferable that:

[0129] To enhance the TADF properties, the T1 levels of both Compound 131 and Compound 133, Nawachi T C1 and T C3 But, T E It is preferable that the value is equal to or greater than 1. The emission peak wavelengths on the shortest wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectra of Compounds 131 and 133 are It is preferable that the wavelength of each of the exciplexes is equal to or shorter than the maximum emission peak wavelength. Draw a tangent line at the short wavelength side of the optical spectrum, and define the wavelength energy of the extrapolated line as S E The phosphorescence spectra of Compound 131 and Compound 133 are connected at the short wavelength side. The energy of the wavelength of the extrapolated lines is calculated as the T of each compound. C1 and T C3 When To, S E -T C1 ≦0.2 eV and S E -T C3 Preferably ≦0.2 eV .

[0130] The triplet excitation energy generated in the light-emitting layer 113 is transferred to the guest via Route A6 and Route A8. By transferring energy to the S1 level of the material compound 132, compound 132 Therefore, the light-emitting layer 113 is made of a combination of materials that form an exciplex. The use of the luminous layer 1 can improve the luminous efficiency of the fluorescent light-emitting device. The triplet excitation energy generated in 13 is transferred to the T1 level of compound 132. This energy transfer (route A9 in Figure 3(B)) can occur in competition with the other route. When the triplet excitation energy is released, the fluorescent compound 132 Since the electrons cannot contribute to light emission, the light emitting efficiency of the light emitting device decreases.

[0131] In order to suppress such energy transfer (route A9 in FIG. 3(B)), As explained in Example 1, the exciplex formed by Compound 131 and Compound 133 and the compound The distance between the compound 132 and the exciplex and the luminophore of the compound 132 is long. It is important to:

[0132] The compound according to one embodiment of the present invention has a luminophore and a protecting group as part of its structure, and In the case of 113, which functions as an energy acceptor, the protecting group may be a It has the function of increasing the distance between the donor and the luminophore. When a certain compound is used as compound 132 in this configuration, even if the concentration of compound 132 is increased, , the distance between the exciplex formed by Compound 131 and Compound 133 and Compound 132 This allows for a longer time, suppressing the energy transfer via the Dexter mechanism while allowing for the Forster mechanism. Therefore, in one aspect of the present invention, By using a certain compound as compound 132, S1 of compound 132 can be obtained from the exciplex. Level (S G ) (Route A6 and A7 in Figure 3(B)) Route A8) is more likely to occur, while the exciplex is more likely to evolve to the T1 level (T G ) Triplet excitation energy transfer to (Route A9: Energy transfer via the Dexter mechanism) This makes it difficult for this to occur, and suppresses the decrease in luminous efficiency that accompanies energy transfer along route A9. The light emitting efficiency of the light emitting device can be improved while suppressing the can be improved.

[0133] In this specification, the above-mentioned routes A6, A7, and A8 are ExSET (Exciplex-Singlet Energy Transfer) r) or ExEF (Exciplex-Enhanced Fluorescence That is, in the light-emitting layer 113 in this specification, the exciplex is converted into a fluorescent material. This shows that there is a donation of excitation energy.

[0134] <Emitting layer configuration example 3> In this example, the light-emitting layer 113 in the light-emitting device contains Compound 131, Compound 132, and and Compound 133, and Compound 131 and Compound 133 form an exciplex. Compound 132 is a compound having a structure in which a fluorescent material is used. The above configuration example 2 is a case where the compound The compound 133 is a phosphorescent material. It is preferable to use it as the compound 132, which is a light-emitting substance. An example of the correlation of the energy levels in the optical layer 113 is shown in FIG. The notations and symbols shown in FIG. 3(C) are the same as those in FIG. 3(B), and therefore will not be described again.

[0135] In this example, a compound having a heavy atom is used as one of the compounds forming the exciplex. Therefore, intersystem crossing between the singlet and triplet states is promoted. to form an exciplex that can transition from the nucleus to the singlet ground state (i.e., can exhibit phosphorescence). In this case, unlike ordinary exciplexes, the triplet excited energy of the exciplex is Energy level (T E ) is the energy donor level, so T E is a compound in which the compound is a light-emitting material The singlet excited energy level of 132 (S G ) or more. A tangent line is drawn at the short wavelength side of the emission spectrum of an exciplex using atoms, and the extrapolated line is The energy of the wavelength T E The energy of the wavelength of the absorption edge of the absorption spectrum of compound 132 is Ghee S G When this is done, T E ≧S G It is preferable that:

[0136] By using such a correlation of energy levels, the triplet excitation energy of the generated exciplex can be calculated. The triplet excited energy level (T E ) to the singlet excited energy of compound 132. Energy level (S G ) energy can be transferred to the S1 level (S E ) and T1 level (T E ) are adjacent energy levels, so the emission spectrum In some cases, it is difficult to clearly distinguish between fluorescence and phosphorescence. It may be possible to distinguish between fluorescence or phosphorescence by

[0137] The phosphorescent material used in the above configuration contains heavy atoms such as Ir, Pt, Os, Ru, and Pd. On the other hand, in this configuration example, the phosphorescent material acts as an energy donor. Therefore, the quantum yield can be either high or low. Allowed transitions are those in which energy transfer from the excited energy level to the singlet excited energy level of the guest material occurs. The above-mentioned exciplexes composed of phosphorescent materials or Energy transfer to the guest material occurs from the triplet excited energy level of the energy donor to the guest. Energy transfer to the singlet excited energy level of the substrate material (energy acceptor) This is a preferable configuration since it is an allowable transition.

[0138] Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3(C), in the light-emitting layer 113 of the light-emitting device shown in this configuration example, The triplet excitation energy of the exciplex is transferred via route A8 (route A7 in Figure 3(C)). The S1 level (S G) i.e., Route A The triplet excitation energy and singlet excitation energy are transferred to the S1 level of the guest material via route 6 and route A8. In Route A8, the exciplex can transfer excitation energy. Compound 132 functions as an energy acceptor, with the proviso that: In the light-emitting layer 113 of the light-emitting device shown in this configuration example, in addition to the above, triplet excited electrons of the exciplex are The energy transfers to the T1 level of compound 132 (Route A9 in Figure 3(C)). When such energy transfer (Route A9) occurs, the fluorescent substance Compound 132 cannot contribute triplet excitation energy to emission, so The luminous efficiency of the device decreases.

[0139] In order to suppress such energy transfer (route A9), The distance between compound 131 and compound 132, and the distance between compound 131 and compound 132 A long distance to the luminophore is important.

[0140] The compound according to one embodiment of the present invention has a luminophore and a protecting group as part of its structure, and In the case of 113, which functions as an energy acceptor, the protecting group may be a It has the function of increasing the distance between the donor and the luminophore. When a certain compound is used as compound 132 in this configuration, even if the concentration of compound 132 is increased, , the distance between the exciplex formed by Compound 131 and Compound 133 and Compound 132 This allows for a longer time, suppressing the energy transfer via the Dexter mechanism while allowing for the Forster mechanism. Therefore, in one aspect of the present invention, By using a certain compound as compound 132, S1 of compound 132 can be obtained from the exciplex. Level (S G ) (Route A6 and Route A8) While the exciplex is more likely to evolve into the T1 level (T G ) triplet excitation Energy transfer (Route A9: Energy transfer by the Dexter mechanism) is less likely to occur. It is possible to suppress the decrease in luminous efficiency due to the energy transfer of route A9 while emitting light. The light-emitting efficiency of the device can be increased, and the reliability of the light-emitting device can be improved. This can be done.

[0141] <Emitting layer configuration example 4> In this example, the light-emitting layer 113 in the light-emitting device is made of three types of materials, namely, compounds Compound 131, Compound 132, and Compound 133. 133 is a combination that forms an exciplex and functions as a light-emitting substance (guest material) The case where a fluorescent substance is used as compound 132 (when ExEF is used) is shown below. Therefore, the compound according to one embodiment of the present invention is a fluorescent substance, Compound 132. In this configuration example, it is preferable that the compound 133 is a material having TADF properties. This example differs from the example 3 in that it is made of a material other than ZnO. An example of the correlation of the energy levels is shown in FIG. 4(A). The components and symbols are the same as those in FIG. 3(B), and therefore will not be described again.

[0142] In this example, compound 133 is a TADF material and does not form an exciplex. Compound 133 converts triplet excitation energy into singlet excitation energy by upconversion. It has the function of converting energy (Route A in Figure 4(A) 10 ). Therefore, compound 1 The singlet excitation energy of 33 is rapidly transferred to compound 132 (Fig. 4(A) Route A 11 ). At this time, S C3 ≧S G It is preferable that:

[0143] Therefore, in the light-emitting layer 113 of the light-emitting device shown in this configuration example, the same as in the above-mentioned configuration example 3 Similarly, the triplet excitation energy is transferred to the guest via routes A6 to A8 in FIG. The route to the material compound 132 and route A in Figure 4(A) 10 and Route A1 There is a pathway that transfers the triplet excitation energy to compound 132 via 1. However, there are multiple pathways for the molecules to move to the fluorescent compound 132, which increases the luminescence efficiency. In Route A8, the exciplex is the energy donor and the Compound 132 functions as an energy acceptor. Route A 11 In the compound 1 Compound 33 acts as the energy donor, and compound 132 acts as the energy acceptor. However, in the light-emitting layer 113 of the light-emitting device shown in this configuration example, in addition to the above, a triplet structure of an exciplex is also used. The excitation energy of compound 132 is transferred to the T1 level (Route A in Figure 4(A)). When such an energy transfer (Route A9) occurs, the fluorescence emission The compound 132 cannot contribute triplet excitation energy to luminescence. This reduces the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device.

[0144] In order to suppress such energy transfer (route A9), As shown in the figure, the exciplex formed by Compound 131 and Compound 133 and the exciplex formed by Compound 132 The distance between the exciplex formed by Compound 131 and Compound 133 and Compound 1 It is important that the distance between 32 and the luminophore is long.

[0145] The compound according to one embodiment of the present invention has a luminophore and a protecting group as part of its structure, and In the case of 113, which functions as an energy acceptor, the protecting group may be a It has the function of increasing the distance between the donor and the luminophore. When a certain compound is used as compound 132 in this configuration, even if the concentration of compound 132 is increased, , the distance between the exciplex formed by Compound 131 and Compound 133 and Compound 132 This allows for a longer time, suppressing the energy transfer via the Dexter mechanism while allowing for the Forster mechanism. Therefore, in one aspect of the present invention, By using a certain compound as compound 132, S1 of compound 132 can be obtained from the exciplex. Level (S G ) (Route A6 and Route A8) and the S1 level (S G Triplet excitation energy transfer to Part A 10 and Route A 11 ) are more likely to occur, while the exciplex gives rise to compound 13. T1 level of 2 (T G ) (Route A9: Dexter mechanism) This makes it difficult for the energy transfer along route A9 to occur. The luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device can be improved while suppressing the decrease in the luminous efficiency. The reliability of the light emitting device can be improved.

[0146] <Emitting layer configuration example 5> In this example, the light-emitting layer 113 in the light-emitting device is made of four types of materials, namely, compounds Compound 131, Compound 132, Compound 133, and Compound 134. 3 is a phosphorescent material that has the function of converting triplet excitation energy into light. In addition, Compound 131 and Compound 134 form exciplexes. Compound 132, which functions as a light-emitting material (guest material), is The case where a fluorescent substance is used will be described. Therefore, the compound according to one embodiment of the present invention is It is preferable to use the compound 132, which is a fluorescent substance. An example of the correlation of the energy levels in the light-emitting layer 113 is shown in FIG. The notations and symbols in FIG. 4(B) are the same as those in FIG. 3(B), Other than that, it is as follows: ·S C4 : S1 level of compound 134 T C4 : T1 level of compound 134

[0147] In this example, the compound 131 and the compound 134 form an exciplex. The S1 level of the body (S E ) and the T1 level of the exciplex (T E ) are adjacent energy levels (Root A in Figure 4(B)) 12 However, the above pathway is produced by two substances. When the formed exciplex loses its excitation energy, the two substances return to their original, separate forms. do.

[0148] Excitation energy levels of exciplexes (S E and TE ) is the compound that forms the exciplex. The S1 level (S C1 and S C4 ) is lower, so This allows the formation of excited states with lower excitation energies. The driving voltage of the sensor can be reduced.

[0149] In addition, compound 133 is a phosphorescent material, and therefore exhibits intersystem crossing between the singlet and triplet states. Therefore, the singlet and triplet excited energies are obtained from the exciplex. Both of these rapidly migrate to compound 133 (Route A 13 ). At this time, T E ≧T C3 It is preferable that:

[0150] The triplet excitation energy of compound 133 is 1 / 100 the singlet excitation energy of compound 132. converted to ghee (root A 14 At this time, as shown in Figure 4(B), T E ≧T C3 ≧S G In this case, energy transfer from compound 133 to compound 132 is efficient. More specifically, in the short wavelength tail of the phosphorescence spectrum of Compound 133, Draw a tangent line and calculate the energy of the wavelength of the extrapolated line as T C3 The absorption spectrum of compound 132 The energy of the wavelength at the absorption edge of the G When this is done, T C3 ≧S G It is preferable that: In addition, Route A 14 In the formula, compound 133 is the energy donor and compound 132 is the energy It acts as a ghee acceptor.

[0151] In this example, the combination of Compound 131 and Compound 134 forms an exciplex. Any combination is acceptable as long as it is possible to achieve this, but it is preferable that one of the compounds has a hole transporting property and the other is a compound having a hole transporting property. A compound having electron transport properties is more preferred.

[0152] In addition, as a combination of materials that efficiently form an exciplex, Compound 131 and Compound One of the HOMO levels is higher than the other, and one of the LUMO levels is It is preferable that the LUMO level is higher than the other LUMO level.

[0153] The correlation between the energy levels of compounds 131 and 134 is limited to that shown in Figure 4(B). That is, the singlet excited energy level (S C1 ) is compound 134 The singlet excited energy level (S C4 ) may be higher or lower than Compound 131. The triplet excited energy level (T C1 ) is the triplet excited energy level of compound 134 ( T C4 ) may be higher or lower.

[0154] In the light-emitting device of this configuration, the compound 131 preferably has a π-electron deficient skeleton. This structure lowers the LUMO level of compound 131, favoring the formation of an exciplex. It becomes suitable.

[0155] In the light-emitting device of this configuration, the compound 131 preferably has a π-electron-rich skeleton. This structure increases the HOMO level of compound 131, favoring the formation of an exciplex. It becomes suitable.

[0156] The compound according to one embodiment of the present invention has a luminophore and a protecting group as part of its structure, and In the case of 113, which functions as an energy acceptor, the protecting group may be a It has the function of increasing the distance between the donor and the luminophore. When a certain compound is used as compound 132 in this configuration, compound 133 and compound 132 Therefore, the compound according to one embodiment of the present invention can be prepared by By using compound 132 as a compound, the S1 level (S G ) to Triplet excitation energy transfer (Route A) 14 ) is more likely to occur, while The T1 level (T G Triplet excitation energy transfer (route) A 15 : Energy transfer by the Dexter mechanism) can be made difficult, A 15 The luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device is improved while suppressing the decrease in luminous efficiency due to the energy transfer of the It can be increased.

[0157] In addition, in this configuration example, by increasing the concentration of the compound 132, which is an energy acceptor, This suppresses the energy transfer by the Dexter mechanism while promoting the energy transfer by the Förster mechanism. The energy transfer rate can be increased. Increasing the transfer rate shortens the excited lifetime of the energy acceptor in the emissive layer. Therefore, the reliability of the light-emitting device can be improved. The concentration of compound 132 in the reaction mixture is 2 wt% or more relative to the energy donor compound 133. The content is preferably from 5 wt% to 50 wt%, more preferably from 5 wt% to 30 wt%, and even more preferably Or, it should be 5 wt% or more and 20 wt% or less.

[0158] In this specification, the above-mentioned Route A 12 and Route A 13 Regarding the route of ExT Also known as ET (Exciplex-Triplet Energy Transfer) That is, in the light-emitting layer 113 in this specification, the excited electrons from the exciplex to the compound 133 are This indicates that energy is being provided.

[0159] <Emitting layer configuration example 6> In this example, the light-emitting layer 113 in the light-emitting device is made of four types of materials, namely, compounds Compound 131, Compound 132, Compound 133, and Compound 134. 3 is a phosphorescent material that has the function of converting triplet excitation energy into light. In addition, Compound 131 and Compound 134 form exciplexes. Compound 132, which functions as a light-emitting material (guest material), is The case where a fluorescent substance is used will be described. Therefore, the compound according to one embodiment of the present invention is It is preferable to use the compound 132, which is a fluorescent substance. This structure differs from the above-described structure example 5 in that the compound 134 is a material having TADF properties. An example of the correlation of energy levels in the light-emitting layer 113 in this configuration is shown in FIG. 4(C). The notations and symbols shown in FIG. 4(C) are the same as those in FIG. 3(B) and FIG. 4(B). Therefore, the description is omitted.

[0160] In this example, compound 134 is a TADF material and does not form an exciplex. Compound 134 converts triplet excitation energy to singlet excitation energy by upconversion. It has the function of converting energy (Route A in Figure 4(C) 16). Therefore, compound 1 The singlet excitation energy of 34 is rapidly transferred to compound 132 (Fig. 4(C) Route A 17 ). At this time, S C4 ≧S G More specifically, the compound Draw a tangent line at the short wavelength side of the fluorescence spectrum of 134, and calculate the energy of the wavelength of the extrapolated line. Ghee S C4 The energy of the wavelength at the absorption edge of the absorption spectrum of compound 132 is S G and When you do this, S C4 ≧S G It is preferable that:

[0161] Therefore, in the light-emitting layer 113 of the light-emitting device shown in this configuration example, the same as in the above-mentioned configuration example 5 Similarly, Route A in Figure 4(C) 12 , Route A 13 , and root A 14 Through the triplet The pathway through which the excitation energy transfers to the guest material, compound 132, is shown in Figure 4(C). ToA 16 and Route A 17 There is a pathway that leads to compound 132 via There are multiple pathways through which triplet excitation energy can be transferred to the fluorescent compound 132. By doing so, the luminous efficiency can be further improved. 14 In the compound 133 Compound 132 acts as an energy acceptor. Part A 17 In this case, compound 134 is the energy donor and compound 132 is the energy accessor. However, in the light-emitting layer 113 of the light-emitting device shown in this configuration example, In addition, the triplet excitation energy of compound 133 is transferred to the T1 level of compound 132. Route A in Figure 4(C)15 ) can also compete with this kind of energy transfer (route). A 15 ) occurs, the fluorescent material Compound 132 emits triplet excitation energy. Since the luminous efficiency of the light emitting device is reduced, the luminous efficiency of the light emitting device is reduced.

[0162] Such energy transfer (Route A) 15 ) is suppressed, As mentioned above, the distance between compound 133 and compound 132, that is, the distance between compound 133 and compound 132, It is important that the distance between the luminophore and the molecule is long.

When a certain compound is used as compound 132 in this configuration, even if the concentration of compound 132 is increased, The distance between compound 133 and compound 132 can be increased, and the Dexter mechanism It is possible to suppress energy transfer while increasing the energy transfer rate via the Förster mechanism. Therefore, by using the compound according to one embodiment of the present invention as compound 132, From the exciplex, the S1 level (S G ) triplet excitation energy Gee Movement (Route A 12 and Route A 13 and Root A 14 ) and the compound 132 S1 level (S G Triplet excitation energy transfer to (Route A) 16 and Route A 17) are more likely to occur, while the T1 level (T G Triplet excitation energy transfer to (Route A) 15 Energy transfer by the Dexter mechanism This makes it difficult for Route A to occur. 15 The decrease in luminescence efficiency due to the energy transfer The light emitting efficiency of the light emitting device can be improved while suppressing the deterioration of the light emitting device.

The symbols and symbols are as follows: ·Comp(131): Compound 131 ·Comp(133): Compound 133 ·Guest(132): Compound 132 ·S C1 : S1 level of compound 131 T C1 :T1 level of compound 131 T C3 :T1 level of compound 133 T G :T1 level of compound 132 ·S G : S1 level of compound 132

[0165] In this example, carrier recombination occurs mainly in compound 131, resulting in a single Compound 133 is T C3 ≦T C1 That By selecting a phosphorescent material with a high affinity, the singlet excitation energy generated in compound 131 can be The T of compound 133 was calculated by comparing both the singlet and triplet excitation energies.

[0166] The phosphorescent material used in the above configuration contains heavy atoms such as Ir, Pt, Os, Ru, and Pd. When a phosphorescent material is used as compound 133, the energy donor The triplet excited energy level of the guest material (energy acceptor) is converted to the singlet excited state. Energy transfer to the energy level is favorable because it is an allowed transition. The triplet excitation energy of 3 is expressed as Root A 19 The S1 level (S G ) Route A can be moved to 19 In the formula, compound 133 is an energy donor, Compound 132 acts as an energy acceptor. In this case, T C3 ≧S G is The excitation energy of compound 133 is efficiently transferred to the singlet excitation of the guest material, compound 132. Specifically, the phosphorescence spectrum of compound 133 is shifted to the short wavelength side. Draw a tangent at the tail of and define the wavelength energy of the extrapolated line as T C3 Compound 132 The energy of the wavelength at the absorption edge of the absorption spectrum is S G When this is done, T C3 ≧S G Being However, in the light-emitting layer 113 of the light-emitting device shown in this configuration example, in addition to the above, The triplet excitation energy of compound 133 is transferred to the T1 level of compound 132 (Figure 5(A)). ) Root A 20 ) can also compete with this energy transfer (Route A). 20 ) is born In this case, the fluorescent material, Compound 132, contributes triplet excitation energy to the emission. This reduces the light emitting efficiency of the light emitting device.

[0167] Such energy transfer (Route A) 20 ) is suppressed, As mentioned above, the distance between compound 133 and compound 132, that is, the distance between compound 133 and compound 132, It is important that the distance between the luminophore and the molecule is long.

[0168] The compound according to one embodiment of the present invention has a luminophore and a protecting group as part of its structure, and In the case of 113, which functions as an energy acceptor, the protecting group may be a It has the function of increasing the distance between the donor and the luminophore. When a certain compound is used as compound 132 in this configuration, even if the concentration of compound 132 is increased, The distance between compound 133 and compound 132 can be increased, and the Dexter mechanism To increase the rate of energy transfer via the Förster mechanism while suppressing energy transfer.

In addition, the reliability of the light emitting device can be improved.

[0169] <Emitting Layer Configuration Example 8> In this example, the light-emitting layer 113 in the light-emitting device contains Compound 131, Compound 132, and and Compound 133. Compound 133 converts triplet excitation energy into luminescence. This section explains the case where a material with TADF properties is used as a substance with this function. In addition, a fluorescent material is used as the compound 132 that functions as a light-emitting material (guest material). Therefore, the compound of one embodiment of the present invention is a fluorescent substance. It is preferable to use the compound 132 as the light-emitting layer 113 in this example. An example of the correlation of the energy levels is shown in FIG. 5(B). The notations and symbols in the figure are the same as those in Figure 5(A), and the rest are as follows: As shown. ·S C3 : S1 level of compound 133

[0170] In this example, carrier recombination occurs mainly in compound 131, resulting in a single Compound 133 is S C3 ≦S C1 KatsuT C3 ≦TC1 By selecting a material with TADF properties that satisfy the following relationship, compound 13 Both the singlet and triplet excitation energies generated in 1 were converted to S of compound 133. C 3 and T C3 It is possible to move to the next level (Route A in Figure 5(B) 21 ). In addition, some The carrier can also be recombined with compound 133.

[0171] In addition, since compound 133 is a material with TADF properties, it can increase triplet excitation energy. It has the function of converting it into singlet excitation energy by photoconversion (Fig. 5(B) Route A 22 In addition, the singlet excitation energy of compound 133 rapidly dissociates into the compound. It is possible to move to the object 132 (Route A in FIG. 5(B) 23 ). At this time, S C3 ≧ S G More specifically, it is preferable that the fluorescence spectrum of Compound 133 is at the short wavelength side. Draw a tangent at and calculate the wavelength energy of the extrapolated line as S C3 and the absorption of compound 132 The energy of the wavelength at the absorption edge of the spectrum is S G When this is done, S C3 ≧S G It is preferable to be I wish.

In 3, compound 133 is the energy donor and compound 132 is the energy acceptor. However, in the light-emitting layer 113 of the light-emitting device shown in this configuration example, in addition to the above, The triplet excitation energy of compound 133 is transferred to the T1 level of compound 132 (Figure 5 (B) Route A 24 ) can also compete with this energy transfer (Route A). 24 ) When this occurs, the fluorescent substance Compound 132 contributes triplet excitation energy to light emission. This reduces the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device.

[0173] Such energy transfer (Route A) 24 ) is suppressed, As mentioned above, the distance between compound 133 and compound 132, that is, the distance between compound 133 and compound 132, It is important that the distance between the luminophore and the molecule is long.

[0174] The compound according to one embodiment of the present invention has a luminophore and a protecting group as part of its structure, and In the case of 113, which functions as an energy acceptor, the protecting group may be a It has the function of increasing the distance between the donor and the luminophore. When a certain compound is used as compound 132 in this configuration, even if the concentration of compound 132 is increased, The distance between compound 133 and compound 132 can be increased, and the Dexter mechanism It is possible to suppress energy transfer while increasing the energy transfer rate via the Förster mechanism. Therefore, by using the compound according to one embodiment of the present invention as compound 132, From the above, the S1 level (S G ) to triplet excitation energy Energy Transfer (Route A 23 ) is more likely to occur, while compound 133 to compound 132 T1 level (TG Triplet excitation energy transfer to (Route A) 24 :Dexter mechanism This makes it difficult for the energy transfer due to the 24 of energy The light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting device can be increased while suppressing the decrease in light-emitting efficiency due to movement. In addition, the reliability of the light-emitting device can be improved.

The luminance, chromaticity (CIE chromaticity), and A spectroradiometer (Topcon, SR-UL1R) was used to measure electroluminescence (EL) spectra. The measurements were carried out at room temperature (an atmosphere maintained at 23°C).

[0366] [Table 2]

[0367] The light emitting devices 1-1 to 1-4 are light emitting devices 1-5, each of which is a light emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention. This is a device that contains the compound 2Ph-mmAdtBuDPhA2Anth. As shown, the EL spectrum of light-emitting device 1-5 has a peak wavelength of 522 nm. The green light emitted from [Ir(ppy)2(mdppy)] was also observed. The EL spectra of light-emitting devices 1-1 to 1-4 have a peak wavelength of around 545 nm. The green luminescence was derived from 2Ph-mmAdtBuDPhA2Anth. In the light-emitting devices 1-1 to 1-4, the fluorescent material 2Ph -mmAdtBuDPhA2Anth receives excitation energy and emits light. Furthermore, from the above results, it can be seen that all of the light-emitting devices 1-1 to 1-5 It shows that the external quantum efficiency is high, exceeding 21%. The probability of generating singlet excitons by recombination of electrons (holes and electrons) is 25% at most. Therefore, if the light extraction efficiency to the outside is 30%, the external quantum efficiency of the fluorescent light-emitting device is However, in light-emitting devices 1-1 to 1-4, In this case, the external quantum efficiency was higher than 7.5%. The emission is due to singlet excitons generated by the recombination of injected carriers (holes and electrons). In addition to light, fluorescent materials emit light due to energy transfer from triplet excitons. This is because

[0368] In addition, the luminescence of the 2P-mmAdtBuDPhA2Anth contained in the luminescent layer varies depending on the concentration. In comparing Device 1-1 to Device 1-5, all of them have similar external quantum efficiencies. Therefore, the compound 2Ph-mmAdtBu, which is one embodiment of the present invention, DPhA2Anth is particularly problematic at high concentrations in the emissive layer of light-emitting devices. It was shown that the deactivation of triplet excitation energy could be suppressed, resulting in efficient light emission. In comparison between the light-emitting device 1-3 and the comparative light-emitting device 1-a, the light-emitting device 1-3 The ratio of 2Ph-mmAdtBuDPhA2Anth contained in the emitting layer to the same concentration of TTPA The external quantum efficiency of the comparative light-emitting device 1-a was less than half that of the light-emitting device 1-3. This is because the 2Ph-mmAdtBuDPhA2Ant h has a protecting group, which is different from the TTPA having no protecting group used in the comparative light-emitting device 1-a. Rather than suppressing the transfer of triplet excitation energy from the host due to the Dexter mechanism, This allows both singlet and triplet excitation energy to be efficiently converted into light. This means that it has been shown to have a significant impact on the external quantum efficiency. do.

[0369] Furthermore, for light-emitting devices 1-1 to 1-5, 50 mA / cm 2 In A current density driving test was carried out. The results are shown in Figure 33. From these results, it is clear that the guest, 2P It was found that increasing the concentration of h-mmAdtBuDPhA2Anth improved reliability. This is because increasing the concentration of the guest in the emitting layer increases the excitation energy in the emitting layer. This shows that the guest concentration can be efficiently converted into guest emission. By increasing the Dexter mechanism, the energy transfer from the host to the guest can be suppressed. The triplet excitation energy from the host to the guest via the Förster mechanism is This suggests that the migration speed can be increased. A light-emitting device using the compound can be said to have good luminous efficiency and reliability. . [Example]

[0379] The light emitting devices 2-1 to 2-4 are light emitting devices 2-5, each of which is a light emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention. This is a device that contains the compound 2Ph-mmAdtBuDPhA2Anth. As shown, the EL spectrum of light-emitting device 2-5 has a peak wavelength of 531 nm. The emission spectra of 4,6mCzP2Pm and [Ir(ppz)3] are different from each other. , which showed green emission originating from the exciplex of 4,6mCzP2Pm and [Ir(ppz)3] The EL spectra of the light-emitting devices 2-1 to 2-4 have peak wavelengths of Green emission from 2Ph-mmAdtBuDPhA2Anth at around 545 nm From this, it can be seen that in the light-emitting devices 2-1 to 2-4, The luminescent material 2Ph-mmAdtBuDPhA2Anth receives the excitation energy. From the above results, it can be seen that light is emitted from light-emitting device 2-1. It can be seen that all of the samples 2-5 exhibit high external quantum efficiencies of 19% or more. The probability of singlet excitons being generated by recombination of injected carriers (holes and electrons) Therefore, if the light extraction efficiency to the outside is 30%, the The external quantum efficiency of the device is 7.5% at maximum. In Devices 2-4, the external quantum efficiency is higher than 7.5%. is a single charge generated by the recombination of carriers (holes and electrons) injected from a pair of electrodes. In addition to the emission from single excitons, the emission from energy transfer from triplet excitons or due to singlet excitons generated from triplet excitons by reverse intersystem crossing in exciplexes. This is because the emitted light is obtained from a fluorescent material.

[0380] In addition, the luminescence of the 2P-mmAdtBuDPhA2Anth contained in the luminescent layer varies depending on the concentration. In comparing Device 2-1 to Device 2-5, all of them have similar external quantum efficiencies. Therefore, the compound 2Ph-mmAdtBu, which is one embodiment of the present invention, DPhA2Anth is particularly problematic at high concentrations in the emissive layer of light-emitting devices. It was shown that the deactivation of triplet excitation energy could be suppressed, resulting in efficient light emission. In comparison between the light-emitting device 2-3 and the comparative light-emitting device 2-a, the light-emitting device 2-3 The ratio of 2Ph-mmAdtBuDPhA2Anth contained in the emitting layer to the same concentration of TTPA The external quantum efficiency of the comparative light-emitting device 2-a was less than half that of the light-emitting device 2-3. This is because the 2Ph-mmAdtBuDPhA2Ant h has a protecting group, which is different from the TTPA having no protecting group used in the comparative light-emitting device 2-a. Rather than suppressing the transfer of triplet excitation energy from the host due to the Dexter mechanism, This allows both singlet and triplet excitation energy to be efficiently converted into light. This means that it has been shown to have a significant impact on the external quantum efficiency. do.

[0381] ≪CV measurement results≫ Next, the 4,6mCzP2Pm and [Ir(ppz)3 The electrochemical properties (oxidation and reduction properties) of The measurement was carried out by CV measurement as follows.

[0382] The measurement device used was an electrochemical analyzer (manufactured by BAS Co., Ltd., model number: ALS model). The solution used in the CV measurements was dehydrated dimethyl ether. Dimethylformamide (DMF) (Aldrich Corporation, 99.8%, Catalog No. 227 05-6) was used, and the supporting electrolyte was tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate (nB u4NClO4) (Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Catalog No.: T0836) at 100 mmol / The measurement target is dissolved in a solution to a concentration of 2 mmol / L. The working electrode was a platinum electrode (PT, manufactured by BAS Co., Ltd.). E platinum electrode), and as an auxiliary electrode, a platinum electrode (B.A.S. Co., Ltd., VC-3 P The counter electrode (5 cm) was used as the reference electrode, and Ag / Ag + Electrode (B.A.E. The measurements were carried out at room temperature (20°C). The scan rate during CV measurement was standardized to 0.1 V / sec. The oxidation potential Ea [V] and reduction potential Ec [V] relative to the reference electrode were measured. The potential of the α-reduction wave is defined as the midpoint potential of the α-reduction wave, and Ec is defined as the midpoint potential of the α-reduction wave. The potential energy of the reference electrode relative to the vacuum level is -4.94 eV. Therefore, the HOMO level [eV] = -4.94-Ea, the LUMO level [e V]=-4.94-Ec, calculate the HOMO and LUMO levels, respectively. It is possible.

[0383] The CV measurement showed that the oxidation potential of 4,6mCzP2Pm was 0.95 V and the reduction potential was -2.06 V. The HOMO level of 4,6mCzP2Pm calculated from CV measurements was -5.

It was.

[0384] As mentioned above, the LUMO level of 4,6mCzP2Pm is the same as that of [Ir(ppz)3]. The HOMO level of [Ir(ppz)3] is lower than the O level, and the HO level of 4,6mCzP2Pm Therefore, when this compound is used in the light-emitting layer, electrons and holes are efficiently transported. It is often injected into 4,6mCzP2Pm and [Ir(ppz)3], respectively, and 4,6mCzP 2Pm and [Ir(ppz)3] can form an exciplex. The emission energy of the EL spectrum of the light-emitting device 2-5 is 4,6mCzP2Pm The energy is close to the difference between the HOMO level and the LUMO level of [Ir(ppz)3]. It was also found that the emission was due to the exciplex formed between 4,6mCzP2Pm and [Ir(ppz)3]. It can be said that this is a coming light.

[0385] Furthermore, for the light-emitting devices 2-1 to 2-5, 50 mA / cm 2 In A current density driving test was carried out. The results are shown in Figure 34. From these results, it can be seen that the guest, 2P It was found that increasing the concentration of h-mmAdtBuDPhA2Anth improved reliability. This is because increasing the concentration of the guest in the emitting layer increases the excitation energy in the emitting layer. This shows that the guest concentration can be efficiently converted into guest emission. By increasing the Dexter mechanism, the energy transfer from the host to the guest can be suppressed. The triplet excitation energy from the host to the guest via the Förster mechanism is This suggests that the migration speed can be increased. A light-emitting device using the compound can be said to have good luminous efficiency and reliability. . [Example]

It was found that all of the light-emitting devices 1 to 4-5 exhibited high external quantum efficiencies of 19% or more. The electrons generated by the recombination of carriers (holes and electrons) injected from a pair of electrodes Since the probability of generating doublet excitons is 25% at most, the light extraction efficiency to the outside is set to 30%. In this case, the external quantum efficiency of the fluorescent light-emitting device is at most 7.5%. In the light-emitting devices 4-1 to 4-4, the external quantum efficiency was higher than 7.5%.

From these results, the guest, 2P Increasing the concentration of h-mmAdtBuDPhA2Anth-02 improved reliability. This is because increasing the concentration of the guest in the emitting layer increases the excited energy in the emitting layer. This shows that the energy can be efficiently converted into the light emission of the guest. By increasing the concentration of , the energy transfer from the host to the guest due to the Dexter mechanism is suppressed.

It can be seen that Device 8-5 exhibits a high external quantum efficiency of 19% or more. Singlet excitons generated by recombination of carriers (holes and electrons) injected from electrodes Since the generation probability is at most 25%, if the light extraction efficiency to the outside is 30%, The external quantum efficiency of the light-emitting device is 7.5% at maximum. Therefore, in the light-emitting device 8-4, the external quantum efficiency was higher than 7.5%. This is generated by the recombination of carriers (holes and electrons) injected from a pair of electrodes. In addition to the emission from singlet excitons, the emission from triplet excitons Emission or singlet excitation generated from triplet excitons by reverse intersystem crossing in exciplexes This is because the light emitted from the molecule is obtained from a fluorescent substance.

[0565] In addition, the emission layers contained 2P-mmTCDtBuDPhA2Anth at different concentrations. In comparing optical devices 8-1 to 8-5, they all have similar external quantum efficiencies. Therefore, the compound of one embodiment of the present invention, 2Ph-mmTCDt BuDPhA2Anth is particularly problematic at high concentrations in the emissive layer of light-emitting devices. It was shown that the deactivation of triplet excitation energy can be suppressed, resulting in efficient light emission.

[0566] Furthermore, for the light-emitting devices 8-1 to 8-5, 50 mA / cm 2 In A current density driving test was carried out. The results are shown in Figure 74. From these results, the guest, 2P Increasing the concentration of h-mmTCDtBuDPhA2Anth resulted in better reliability. This is because increasing the concentration of the guest in the emitting layer increases the excitation energy in the emitting layer. This shows that the luminescence of the guest can be efficiently converted into the luminescence of the guest. By increasing the concentration, the energy transfer from the host to the guest due to the Dexter mechanism is suppressed. At the same time, the triplet excitation energy is increased by the Förster mechanism from the host to the guest. Therefore, it is possible to increase the movement speed. Light-emitting devices using compounds can be said to have good luminous efficiency and reliability. do. [Explanation of symbols]
