Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a light-emitting element, a compound, an organic compound, a display module, and a lighting module. The present invention relates to a light-emitting device, a display device, a lighting device, and an electronic device. [Background technology]

[0002] With advantages such as thinness and light weight, fast response to input signals, and low power consumption, Lighting devices and display devices use light-emitting elements (organic EL elements) that use organic compounds as light-emitting materials. The development of display devices is accelerating.

[0003] In an organic EL element, a light-emitting layer is sandwiched between electrodes, and when a voltage is applied, light is injected from the electrodes. The electrons and holes recombine to excite the luminescent material, and the excited state is converted to the ground state. The wavelength of light emitted by a luminescent material is unique to that material, and different By using a variety of organic compounds as luminescent materials, luminescence with various wavelengths can be obtained. The element can be obtained.

[0004] In the case of display devices designed to display images, such as monitors, full color To reproduce an image, it is necessary to obtain at least three colors of light: red, green, and blue. In addition, in order to obtain high color rendering, the lighting device is designed to emit light with wavelength components evenly distributed across the visible light range. Ideally, it would be best to obtain light with a wavelength of 2000 keV. In reality, it is best to synthesize two or more types of light with different wavelengths. The light obtained by this method is often used for lighting purposes. It is known that white light with high color rendering properties can be obtained by synthesizing light. are.

[0005] As mentioned earlier, the light emitted by a luminescent material is specific to that material. Important properties of light-emitting elements, such as power consumption and luminous efficiency, are determined only by the material that emits light. It does not depend on the layer other than the light-emitting layer, the device structure, and the relationship between the light-emitting material and the host material. The nature, compatibility, and career balance of the person also have a significant impact. There is no doubt that a wide variety of light-emitting element materials will be required to achieve this. For this reason, materials for light-emitting devices having various molecular structures have been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1 reference).

[0006] By the way, in the light-emitting element using electroluminescence, the generation rate of the excited state is as follows: It is generally known that the triplet excited state is 3, whereas the singlet excited state is 1. and a light-emitting device using a phosphorescent material as a light-emitting material, which can convert triplet excitation energy into light emission. Optical elements are light-emitting elements that use fluorescent materials as light-emitting materials to convert singlet excitation energy into light. In principle, a light-emitting element with higher luminous efficiency can be obtained compared to conventional light-emitting elements.

[0007] Here, the host material in the host-guest type light-emitting layer and the carriers in contact with the light-emitting layer The materials that make up the transport layer are designed to efficiently convert excitation energy into light emission from the luminescent material. The triplet excited state is higher than that of the luminescent material. A substance with a high energy level (energy difference from the singlet ground state) is used.

[0008] However, most of the substances used as host materials for the light-emitting element are fluorescent materials. The triplet excited state in the substance is at a lower energy position than the singlet excited state. For this reason, it is difficult to distinguish between using fluorescent materials and phosphorescent materials that emit light of the same wavelength as the light-emitting material. In comparison with the case where a material with a wider band gap is used as the host material, the latter case It is necessary to use it as such.

[0009] Therefore, in order to efficiently obtain short-wavelength phosphorescence, a very large band gap is required. However, a host material with a high luminous efficiency and a carrier transport material are required. While achieving a good balance between the requirements for important properties of light-emitting elements, such as efficiency, It is difficult to develop a material with a large band gap that can be used as a light-emitting device material.

In particular, heterocyclic compounds with a diazine (pyrimidine or pyrazine) skeleton have electron transport properties. The above-mentioned benzofuropyrimidine structure has high conductivity and contributes to reducing the driving voltage. The compound has a relatively large electron transporting property and is classified as a material having electron transporting property.

[0143] In addition, examples of materials having hole transport properties that can be used as the host material include: ,4'-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (abbreviation: NPB ), N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-[1,1'-biphenyl] phenyl]-4,4'-diamine (abbreviation: TPD), 4,4'-bis[N-(spiro-9, 9'-Bifluoren-2-yl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (abbreviation: BSPB) , 4-phenyl-4'-(9-phenylfluoren-9-yl)triphenylamine (abbreviation Name: BPAFLP), 4-phenyl-3'-(9-phenylfluoren-9-yl)trimethylsilyl Phenylamine (abbreviation: mBPAFLP), 4-phenyl-4'-(9-phenyl-9H -carbazol-3-yl)triphenylamine (abbreviation: PCBA1BP), 4,4'- Diphenyl-4''-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)triphenyla PCBBi1BP, 4-(1-naphthyl)-4'-(9-phenyl-9H -carbazol-3-yl)triphenylamine (abbreviation: PCBANB), 4,4'-di (1-naphthyl)-4''-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)triphenyl PCBNBB, 9,9-dimethyl-N-phenyl-N-[4-(9 -phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl]fluoren-2-amine (abbreviated : PCBAF), N-phenyl-N-[4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazole-3- (phenyl)spiro-9,9'-bifluoren-2-amine (abbreviation: PCBASF) Compounds with aromatic amine skeletons such as 1,3-bis(N-carbazolyl)benzene (abbreviation: mCP), 4,4'-di(N-carbazolyl)biphenyl (abbreviation: CBP), 3 ,6-Bis(3,5-diphenylphenyl)-9-phenylcarbazole (abbreviation: CzT P), 3,3'-bis(9-phenyl-9H-carbazole) (abbreviation: PCCP), etc. Compounds with a carbazole skeleton and 4,4',4''-(benzene-1,3,5-trimethylsilyl) yl)tri(dibenzothiophene) (abbreviation: DBT3P-II), 2,8-diphenyl- 4-[4-(9-phenyl-9H-fluoren-9-yl)phenyl]dibenzothiophene DBTFLP-III, 4-[4-(9-phenyl-9H-fluorene-9 -yl)phenyl]-6-phenyldibenzothiophene (abbreviation: DBTFLP-IV) Compounds with thiophene skeletons and 4,4',4''-(benzene-1,3,5-thiazolinone) 4-[3-[3-(9- (phenyl-9H-fluoren-9-yl)phenyl]phenyl}dibenzofuran (abbreviation: Examples of compounds having a furan skeleton include compounds having a furan skeleton such as furan dimers (mmDBFFLBi-II). However, compounds with aromatic amine skeletons and compounds with carbazole skeletons are not reliable. Furthermore, it has a high hole transporting property and contributes to reducing the driving voltage, which is preferable.

[0144] When the light-emitting substance is a phosphorescent substance, the host material is a triplet excited state of the phosphorescent substance. Select a substance with a triplet excitation level (T1 level) greater than the fluorescence level (T1 level) and In the case of a substance, it is preferable to select a substance having a larger band gap than the fluorescent substance. The light-emitting layer may contain a third material in addition to the host material and the phosphorescent material.

[0145] Here, when a phosphorescent material is used, in order to obtain a light-emitting element with higher luminous efficiency, Consider the energy transfer between the material and the phosphorescent material. The recombination of carriers occurs in the host material. Since the emission occurs in both the host material and the phosphorescent material, the emission efficiency can be improved by It is necessary to make the energy transfer to quality more efficient.

[0146] Two mechanisms have been proposed for the energy transfer from the host material to the phosphorescent material. The first mechanism is the Küster mechanism, and the second is the Förster mechanism. Each mechanism will be explained below. Here, the molecule that provides the excitation energy is called the host molecule, and the molecule that receives the excitation energy is called the host molecule. The child is referred to as the guest molecule.

[0147] <Förster mechanism (dipole-dipole interaction)> The Förster mechanism does not require direct contact between molecules for energy transfer. Energy transfer occurs through the resonance phenomenon of dipole vibration between the molecule and the guest molecule. The host molecule transfers energy to the guest molecule through the vibrational resonance phenomenon, and the host molecule The guest molecule enters the excited state. The rate constant of the Förster mechanism is k h * →g of This is shown in equation (1).

In the case of random orientation, K 2 =2 / 3.

[0150] Dexter mechanism (electron exchange interaction) The Dexter mechanism occurs when the host and guest molecules approach the effective contact distance where orbital overlap occurs. The energy is transferred through the exchange of electrons of the excited host molecule and the ground state guest molecule. -Transfer occurs. The rate constant of the Dexter mechanism is k h * →g is shown in equation (2).

[0155] First, from equation (3), the energy transfer efficiency Φ ET To increase the The rate constant k h * →g , other competing rate constants k r +k n (=1 / τ) The rate constant of the energy transfer, k h * →g Large In order to achieve this, from equations (1) and (2), the Förster mechanism and the Dexter mechanism In both of these mechanisms, the emission spectrum of the host molecule (energy from the singlet excited state) When discussing energy transfer, consider the fluorescence spectrum and energy transfer from triplet excited states. In this case, it is better to have a large overlap between the absorption spectrum of the guest molecule and the phosphorescence spectrum of the guest molecule. You can see that.

[0156] Here, we consider the overlap between the emission spectrum of the host molecule and the absorption spectrum of the guest molecule. In the absorption spectrum of the guest molecule, the absorption band at the longest wavelength (lowest energy) side is overlapped. It is essential.

[0157] In this embodiment, a phosphorescent compound is used as the guest material. In tors, the absorption band that is thought to contribute most strongly to luminescence is the triplet band from the ground state. It is near the absorption wavelength corresponding to the direct transition to the excited state, and it is the absorption that appears on the longest wavelength side. This indicates that the emission spectrum (fluorescence spectrum and phosphorescence spectrum) of the host material It is preferable that the absorption band of the phosphorescent compound overlaps with the absorption band on the longest wavelength side of the absorption spectrum of the phosphorescent compound. It is thought that this is the case.

[0158] For example, in organometallic complexes, especially in luminescent iridium complexes, the longest wavelength absorption band is In many cases, a broad absorption band appears around 500 to 600 nm. Mainly, triplet MLCT (Metal to Ligand Charge Transfer) However, this absorption band is due to the triplet π-π transition. * Transition or singlet MLCT This includes some absorption due to transitions, and these overlap to form the absorption spectrum at the longest wavelength side. It is thought that a broad absorption band is formed. Therefore, it is considered that the guest material is an organometallic complex. When using complexes (especially iridium complexes), the broad spectrum at the longest wavelength is It is preferable that the absorption band of the host material largely overlaps with the emission spectrum of the host material.

[0159] First, let us consider the energy transfer from the triplet excited state of the host material. From the theory, in the energy transfer from the triplet excited state, the phosphorescence spectrum of the host material It is sufficient that the overlap between the absorption band of the guest material on the longest wavelength side and the absorption band of the guest material is large.

[0160] However, the problem here is the energy from the singlet excited state of the host molecule. In addition to the energy transfer from the triplet excited state, the energy transfer from the singlet excited state From the above discussion, if we want to efficiently transfer electrons, we must consider not only the phosphorescence spectrum of the host material but also the Furthermore, the fluorescence spectrum must be designed to overlap with the longest wavelength absorption band of the guest material. In other words, the fluorescent spectrum of the host material must be similar to the phosphorescent spectrum. Unless the host material is designed to be at such a position, the singlet excited state and triplet excited state of the host material will not be This means that energy transfer from both the excited doublet states cannot be performed efficiently. do.

[0161] However, in general, the S1 level and the T1 level are significantly different (S1 level > T1 level). The emission wavelength of light and the emission wavelength of phosphorescence are also significantly different (emission wavelength of fluorescence < emission wavelength of phosphorescence). For example, 4,4'-di(N-carbazone) is often used in light-emitting devices using phosphorescent compounds. CBP has a phosphorescence spectrum around 500 nm. On the other hand, the fluorescence spectrum is around 400 nm, which is a difference of 100 nm. From this perspective, the fluorescence spectrum of the host material is in a similar position to the phosphorescence spectrum. It is extremely difficult to design a host material that exhibits such a property.

[0162] In addition, since the S1 level is higher than the T1 level, the fluorescence spectrum is at the longest wavelength side of the guest material. The T1 level of the host material at a wavelength close to the absorption spectrum of the guest material is It falls below level 1.

[0163] Therefore, when a phosphorescent material is used as a light-emitting material, the light-emitting layer contains a host material, a light-emitting material, and The third substance is included, and the host material and the third substance are in the form of an exciplex (also called an exciplex). It is preferable that the combination forms a compound represented by the formula (II).

[0164] In this case, the carriers (electrons and holes) in the light-emitting layer recombine with the host material. The substance 3 forms an exciplex. The fluorescence spectrum of the exciplex is similar to that of the host material alone and The emission spectrum has a longer wavelength side than the fluorescence spectrum of the third substance alone. The T1 levels of the first and third materials are kept higher than the T1 level of the guest material. This maximizes the energy transfer from the excited state. Since the S1 level and the S2 level are close to each other, the fluorescence spectrum and the phosphorescence spectrum are almost the same. This means that the guest molecule can be converted from its singlet ground state to its triplet excited state. The absorption corresponding to the transition (the block that exists on the longest wavelength side in the absorption spectrum of the guest molecule) The fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra of the exciplex are largely overlapped on the Therefore, a light-emitting element with high energy transfer efficiency can be obtained.

[0165] The third substance can be any of the above-mentioned host materials and additives. The host material and the third substance may be materials that generate an exciplex. However, it is necessary to combine a compound that easily accepts electrons (a compound with electron transport properties). It is possible to combine a compound that easily accepts holes (a compound that has hole transport properties) with the compound. preferable.

[0166] The host material and the third substance are composed of a compound with electron transport properties and a compound with hole transport properties. When the mixture is made of a polyimide, the carrier balance can be controlled by the mixture ratio. The ratio of the host material to the third substance (or additive) is preferably in the range of 1:9 to 9:1. In this case, the light-emitting layer in which one type of light-emitting material is dispersed is divided into two layers, and the host material and the third material are mixed. This allows the carrier balance of the light emitting element to be optimized. In addition, one of the light-emitting layers can be made of a hole transport material, which can improve the lifetime. The other light-emitting layer may be an electron-transporting layer.

[0167] When the light-emitting layer having the above-mentioned structure is made of a plurality of materials, it can be formed by vacuum deposition. Co-evaporation of the above, or mixed solution using inkjet method, spin coating method, dip coating method, etc. It can be prepared using

[0168] The electron transport layer 114 is a layer containing a substance having an electron transport property. Tris(4-methyl-8-quinolinolato)aluminum (abbreviation: Alq), tris(4-methyl-8-quinolinolato) ) Aluminum (abbreviation: Almq3), bis(10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinolinato ) Beryllium (abbreviation: BeBq2), bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinolato)(4-phenyl quinoline or benzoquinoline skeletons, such as (BAlq) The layer is made of a metal complex having a phosphorus skeleton. Bis[2-(2-phenyl)benzoxazolato]zinc (abbreviation: Zn(BOX)2), oxazolamides such as hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazolato]zinc (abbreviated as Zn(BTZ)2) Metal complexes having azole or thiazole ligands can also be used. In addition to the metal complexes, 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)- 1,3,4-oxadiazole (abbreviated as PBD) and 1,3-bis[5-(p-tert -butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]benzene (abbreviation: OX D-7), 3-(4-biphenylyl)-4-phenyl-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl) nyl)-1,2,4-triazole (abbreviation: TAZ), bathophenanthroline (abbreviation: B Phen), vasocuproine (abbreviated as BCP), etc. can also be used. The substances that were found were mainly 10 -6 cm 2 It is a substance with an electron mobility of 1 / Vs or more. Any substance other than those mentioned above may be used for the electron transport layer as long as it has a higher electron transporting property than the above-mentioned substances. No.

[0169] In addition, a compound having a benzofuropyrimidine skeleton is used as a material for forming the electron transport layer 114. The compound having a benzofuropyrimidine skeleton has a wide band gap. Since it is a material with a high triplet excitation level (T1 level), the excitation energy in the light-emitting layer is Effectively preventing migration to the electron transport layer 114 and suppressing the resulting decrease in luminous efficiency Therefore, it is possible to obtain a light-emitting element with high luminous efficiency. The compound having the formula (I) has excellent carrier transport properties and therefore provides a light-emitting element with a low driving voltage. This becomes possible.

[0170] The electron transport layer may be not only a single layer, but also a laminate of two or more layers made of the above-mentioned materials. It may also be something.

[0171] Furthermore, a layer for controlling the movement of electron carriers may be provided between the electron transport layer and the light emitting layer. This is achieved by adding a small amount of a substance with high electron trapping properties to a material with high electron transport properties as described above. It is a layer that adjusts the carrier balance by suppressing the movement of electron carriers. This type of structure prevents electrons from penetrating the light-emitting layer. This is highly effective in suppressing problems that arise (for example, a reduction in the device life).

[0172] In addition, the host material of the light-emitting layer and the material constituting the electron transport layer share a common skeleton. This allows smoother carrier movement and reduces the driving voltage. Furthermore, the host material and the material constituting the electron transport layer can be the same material. It is highly effective to configure it as follows.

[0173] In addition, an electron transport layer 114 is formed between the electron transport layer 114 and the second electrode 102. An electron injection layer 115 may be provided. The electron injection layer 115 may be formed of lithium, calcium, fluorine, or the like. Lithium fluoride (LiF), cesium fluoride (CsF), calcium fluoride (CaF2), etc. In addition, a substance having an electron transport property and a compound having an electron donating property to the substance can be used. A composite material with a substance having an electron donating property (hereinafter simply referred to as an electron donating substance) can also be used. The donor substances include alkali metals or alkaline earth metals or their compounds. By using such a composite material for the electron injection layer 115, This is a more preferable configuration because electrons are efficiently injected from the second electrode 102. By using this structure, it is possible to use not only materials with a low work function but also other conductive materials as the cathode. It is also possible to use materials.

[0174] The material that forms the electrode that functions as the cathode must have a low work function (specifically, 3. 8 eV or less) metals, alloys, electrically conductive compounds, and mixtures thereof can be used. Specific examples of such cathode materials include those belonging to Group 1 or Group 2 of the periodic table. The elements that are present in the atmosphere are alkali metals such as lithium (Li) and cesium (Cs), and magnesium. Alkaline earth metals such as magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and strontium (Sr) and alloys containing these (MgAg, AlLi), europium (Eu), ytterbium ( However, the second electrode is preferably a rare earth metal such as Yb, and an alloy containing the rare earth metal. By providing an electron injection layer between the electrode 102 and the electron transport layer, the Indium oxide-oxide containing Al, Ag, ITO, silicon or silicon oxide Various conductive materials, such as tin, can be used for the second electrode 102. The material can be deposited using methods such as sputtering, inkjet, and spin coating. It is possible.

[0175] The EL layer 103 can be formed by various methods, including dry and wet methods. For example, a vacuum deposition method, an ink jet method, a spin coating method, or the like can be used. Also, each electrode or each layer may be formed using a different film formation method. .

[0176] The electrodes may also be formed by a sol-gel method or a wet method using a paste of a metal material. Alternatively, the film may be formed by a dry method such as sputtering or vacuum deposition.

[0177] The structure of the EL layer provided between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 is the same as that described above. However, the metals used in the light-emitting region, electrodes, and carrier injection layer are not limited to the above. The first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 are spaced apart so as to suppress quenching caused by their proximity. A preferred configuration is to provide a light-emitting region where holes and electrons recombine at a location away from the electrode 102. .

[0178] In addition, the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer directly contacting the light emitting layer, particularly the light emitting region in the light emitting layer 113 The carrier transport layer, which is in contact with the side closer to the light-emitting layer, transfers energy from the excitons generated in the light-emitting layer. In order to suppress this, the energy gap is determined by the luminescent material that constitutes the luminescent layer or the Those with an energy gap larger than that of the luminescent material contained therein It is preferable to make it of quality.

[0179] The light-emitting element having the above-described structure has a first electrode 101 and a second electrode 102. The generated potential difference causes a current to flow, and the light-emitting layer 113, which is a layer containing a highly luminescent substance, The holes and electrons are recombined to emit light. It is structured so that

[0180] The light is emitted through either the first electrode 101 or the second electrode 102, or both. Therefore, either the first electrode 101 or the second electrode 102 Alternatively, both electrodes may be made of a light-transmitting electrode. Only the first electrode 101 may be made of a light-transmitting electrode. In this case, light is emitted through the first electrode 101 and extracted from the substrate side. When only the first electrode 102 is a light-transmitting electrode, light is emitted through the second electrode 102 and reaches the substrate. The light is extracted from the opposite side. Both the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 are transparent. In the case where the electrodes are the same, light is emitted through the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 and reaches the substrate side. and is taken out from both the substrate and the opposite side.

[0181] The light-emitting element in this embodiment is a benzofuropyrimidine Since compounds with a skeletal structure are used, the luminescent material has a large energy gap. Even fluorescent materials that emit blue light and phosphorescent materials that emit colors between green and blue can be efficiently This makes it possible to obtain a light-emitting element with good luminous efficiency. This makes it possible to provide a light-emitting element with lower power consumption. Compounds with an amide skeleton have excellent carrier transport properties, allowing for light emission with low driving voltage. It is possible to provide the element.

[0182] Such a light-emitting element is fabricated using a substrate made of glass, plastic, or the like as a support. By fabricating multiple light-emitting elements on one substrate, a passive matrix type A light-emitting device can be manufactured. A transistor is formed, and the light-emitting element is fabricated on an electrode electrically connected to the transistor. This allows for an active master that controls the driving of a light emitting element by a transistor. A trix-type light-emitting device can be manufactured. Note that the structure of the transistor is not particularly limited. The TFT may be a staggered type or an inverted staggered type. There is no particular limitation on the crystallinity of the TFT substrate. It may be composed of either N-type and P-type TFTs, or N-type TFTs or P-type TFTs. The semiconductor layer constituting the TFT may be either one of the two types. The materials used are silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge), which are the first of the elements in the periodic table. Group 14 elements, compounds such as gallium arsenide and indium phosphide, as well as zinc oxide and tin oxide Any material that exhibits semiconductor properties, such as oxides of the above, may be used. Oxides (oxide semiconductors) that exhibit these properties include indium, gallium, aluminum, and zinc. A composite oxide of an element selected from lead and tin can be used. For example, zinc oxide (Zn O), indium oxide containing zinc oxide (Indium Zinc Oxide), and Indium oxide, gallium oxide, and zinc oxide (IGZO) Gallium Zinc Oxide is an example of this. A semiconductor may be used. The semiconductor layer may have either a crystalline structure or an amorphous structure. Specific examples of the semiconductor layer having a crystalline structure include a single crystal semiconductor and a polycrystalline semiconductor. or a microcrystalline semiconductor.

[0183] (Fourth embodiment) In this embodiment, a light emitting element having a structure in which a plurality of light emitting units are stacked (hereinafter referred to as a stacked element) The embodiment of the light-emitting element (also referred to as a light-emitting element) will be described with reference to FIG. The light-emitting element has a plurality of light-emitting units between the first electrode and the second electrode. The EL layer 103 has the same structure as that of the EL layer 103 shown in the third embodiment. The light-emitting element shown in is a light-emitting element having one light-emitting unit, and in this embodiment, It can be said to be a light-emitting element having a plurality of light-emitting units.

[0184] In FIG. 1B, a first light-emitting unit is disposed between the first electrode 501 and the second electrode 502. The knit 511 and the second light-emitting unit 512 are stacked, and the first light-emitting unit 511 A charge generating layer 513 is provided between the first electrode and the second light-emitting unit 512. The first electrode 501 and the second electrode 502 correspond to the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 502 in the third embodiment, respectively. This corresponds to the pole 102, and the same one as that explained in the third embodiment can be applied. In addition, the first light emitting unit 511 and the second light emitting unit 512 may have the same configuration but different The configuration may be as follows.

[0185] The charge generating layer 513 contains a composite material of an organic compound and a metal oxide. The composite material of a compound and a metal oxide can be used for the hole injection layer shown in Embodiment 3. The organic compound can be an aromatic amine compound, a carbazoline compound, or a methyl methacrylate compound. aromatic hydrocarbons, polymer compounds (oligomers, dendrimers, polymers, etc.) As the organic compound, a compound having a hole mobility of 1 x10 -6 cm 2 It is preferable to apply a value of / Vs or more. Other materials may be used as long as they have a high hole transporting property. The composite material of these compounds has excellent carrier injection and transport properties, making it suitable for low-voltage operation and low Current driving can be realized. In the case of knitted devices, the charge generating layer can also function as a hole transport layer, so there is no need to provide a hole transport layer. It's also good.

[0186] The charge generation layer 513 is made of a layer containing a composite material of an organic compound and a metal oxide and other materials. For example, the organic compound and the A layer containing a composite material of a metal oxide and a compound selected from electron donating substances and an electron transporting substance. Alternatively, a layer containing an organic compound and a metal compound may be combined. A layer containing an oxide composite material and a transparent conductive film may be combined.

[0187] In any case, the electrode sandwiched between the first light-emitting unit 511 and the second light-emitting unit 512 When a voltage is applied to the first electrode 501 and the second electrode 502, the charge generation layer 513 generates a It is sufficient that the light-emitting element injects electrons into the light-emitting unit and injects holes into the other light-emitting unit. For example, in FIG. 1B, the potential of the first electrode is higher than the potential of the second electrode. When a voltage is applied so that the charge generation layer 513 generates electrons, the charge generation layer 513 generates electrons in the first light-emitting unit 511. The electron injection hole 514 may be injected into the second light-emitting unit 512.

[0188] In this embodiment, the light emitting element having two light emitting units has been described, but the light emitting element having three or more light emitting units may be used. The same can be applied to a light-emitting element in which the above light-emitting units are stacked. As in the light-emitting device according to the embodiment, a plurality of light-emitting units are disposed between a pair of electrodes by a charge generating layer. By separating the LEDs, high brightness light emission is possible while keeping the current density low, and the LEDs can be used for a long time. It is also possible to realize a light-emitting device that can be driven at a low voltage and consumes less power. It is possible.

[0189] In addition, by making the light-emitting color of each light-emitting unit different, the light-emitting element as a whole For example, a light-emitting element having two light-emitting units can be used. In this case, the luminous color of the first luminous unit and the luminous color of the second luminous unit are in a complementary color relationship. By doing so, it is possible to obtain a light emitting element that emits white light as a whole. In addition, complementary colors are colors that become achromatic when mixed. By mixing light from materials that emit light of certain colors, white light can be obtained. The same applies to a light-emitting element having three light-emitting units. For example, the first light-emitting unit The light emitting color of the first light emitting unit is red, the light emitting color of the second light emitting unit is green, and the light emitting color of the third light emitting unit is red. When the emitted light color of the dot is blue, the light emitting element as a whole can emit white light.
