[0055] The transition metal oxides that can be used as the second substance include those of Group 4 or above in the periodic table. Oxides of metals belonging to Group 8 include vanadium oxide, niobium oxide, and tantalum oxide. oxide, chromium oxide, molybdenum oxide, tungsten oxide, manganese oxide, rhenium Titanium oxide, ruthenium oxide, zirconium oxide, hafnium oxide and Silver oxide and molybdenum oxide are preferred because they exhibit high acceptor properties. It is suitable because it is stable in the air, has low hygroscopicity, and is easy to handle.
[0056] The second substance has an electron-withdrawing group (halogen group or cyano group) that can be used as the second substance. The organic compound is 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroethane. Nodimethane (abbreviation: F4-TCNQ), chloranil, 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexyl Hexacyano-1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene (abbreviation: HAT-CN ), 1,3,4,5,7,8-hexafluorotetracyano-naphthoquinodimethane (abbreviation :F6-TCNNQ), 2-(7-dicyanomethylene-1,3,4,5,6,8,9,1 0-octafluoro-7H-pyren-2-ylidene)malononitrile, etc. In particular, electron-withdrawing groups are bonded to condensed aromatic rings with multiple heteroatoms, such as HAT-CN. Compounds containing an electron-withdrawing group (especially a fluoro group) are preferred because they are thermally stable. Radialene derivatives containing halogen groups or cyano groups have low electron acceptor properties. It is preferable because it is always high, specifically, α,α',α''-1,2,3-cyclopropanetri Ylidenetris[4-cyano-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzeneacetonitrile] ], α,α',α''-1,2,3-cyclopropanetriylidenetris[2,6-dic 3,5-difluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzeneacetonitrile], α ,α',α''-1,2,3-cyclopropanetriylidenetris[2,3,4,5,6 -pentafluorobenzeneacetonitrile].
[0057] In addition, inorganic compounds such as molybdenum oxide have better electron acceptability than the organic compounds mentioned above. In a light-emitting element in which the second substance is an organic compound, the HOMO of the first substance tends to be strong. If the level is deep (for example, deeper than -5.4 eV), the driving voltage increases and the lifetime decreases. However, the light-emitting device of the present invention is characterized in that such inconveniences are unlikely to occur.
[0058] Furthermore, the third substance has a HOMO level of -5.8 eV or more and -5.6 eV or less. This is also preferable because it facilitates hole injection into the light-emitting layer host having a deep HOMO level. This is particularly important when a blue fluorescent light-emitting layer is used as the light-emitting layer. When the light-emitting material exhibits blue fluorescence, the The band gap is required to be wider than that of blue light, and as a result, the HOMO level is deep. Therefore, when the HOMO level of the third substance is between -5.8 eV and -5.6 It is preferable that the width is less than 100 eV for hole injection into the light-emitting layer. Typical examples of wide-gap host materials include organic compounds with an anthracene skeleton. It can be obtained.
[0059] The LUMO level of the third substance is −2.4 eV or higher, preferably −2.2 eV or higher. If the thickness is large, electrons can be effectively prevented from escaping from the light-emitting layer, leading to an improvement in light-emitting efficiency. For the same reason, the difference between the LUMO level of the third substance and the LUMO level of the host material is is 0.3 eV or more, preferably 0.5 eV or more.
[0060] In addition, when the host material has an anthracene skeleton and a carbazole skeleton, the anthracene skeleton is particularly When the host material has a benzophenone skeleton and a dibenzocarbazole skeleton, the host material has high electron mobility. This reduces the driving voltage, but at the same time, the light-emitting layer becomes electron-rich. This reduces the recombination area and electrons escape from the light-emitting layer, resulting in a decrease in reliability. However, in the light-emitting element of one embodiment of the present invention, the light emission of the third substance as described above can be easily obtained. This problem can be overcome by the good hole injection properties into the layer.
[0061] The third substance is preferably an organic compound represented by the following general formula (G1). These compounds have a deep HOMO level and are excellent in hole injection into the light-emitting layer. Therefore, it is possible to make a more reliable light-emitting element. It will be possible to provide.

Heterocyclic compounds with an azine skeleton and heterocyclic compounds with a pyridine skeleton have good reliability. In particular, heterocyclic compounds having a diazine (pyrimidine or pyrazine) skeleton are The electron transport property is high, and this contributes to reducing the driving voltage.
[0106] When a fluorescent substance is used as the light-emitting material, the host material is a compound having an anthracene skeleton. A material having an anthracene skeleton is preferably used as a host material for a fluorescent material. When used as a host material, it is possible to realize a light-emitting layer having good luminous efficiency and durability. The materials having an anthracene skeleton used as the material include a diphenylanthracene skeleton, In particular, a substance having a 9,10-diphenylanthracene skeleton is preferred because it is chemically stable. In addition, when the host material has a carbazole skeleton, the hole injection and transport properties are improved. However, a benzocarbazole skeleton in which a benzene ring is further condensed to a carbazole is preferred. When it contains carbazole, the HOMO becomes shallower by about 0.1 eV than that of carbazole, making it easier for holes to enter. In particular, when the host material contains a dibenzocarbazole skeleton, The HOMO is shallower than that of sol by about 0.1 eV, making it easier for holes to enter, and the hole transport Therefore, it is also preferable as a host material. Preferred are those having a 9,10-diphenylanthracene skeleton and a carbazole skeleton (or It is a substance that simultaneously has a benzocarbazole skeleton and a dibenzocarbazole skeleton. From the viewpoint of the hole injection and transport properties, a benzofluorene skeleton was used instead of a carbazole skeleton. A dibenzofluorene skeleton may also be used. Examples of such materials include 9-phenyl 3-[4-(10-phenyl-9-anthryl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole ( Abbreviation: PCzPA), 3-[4-(1-naphthyl)-phenyl]-9-phenyl-9H- Carbazole (abbreviation: PCPN), 9-[4-(10-phenyl-9-anthracenyl) phenyl]-9H-carbazole (abbreviation: CzPA), 7-[4-(10-phenyl-9 -anthryl)phenyl]-7H-dibenzo[c,g]carbazole (abbreviation: cgDBC zPA), 6-[3-(9,10-diphenyl-2-anthryl)phenyl]-benzo[ b]naphtho[1,2-d]furan (abbreviation: 2mBnfPPA), 9-phenyl-10-{ 4-(9-phenyl-9H-fluoren-9-yl)biphenyl-4'-yl}anthracene In particular, CzPA, cgDBCzPA, 2mB nfPPA and PCzPA are the preferred choices because they exhibit very good properties.
[0107] The host material may be a mixture of a plurality of substances. When used, a material having an electron transporting property and a material having a hole transporting property may be mixed. It is preferable to mix a material having an electron transport property with a material having a hole transport property. Therefore, the transport property of the light-emitting layer 113 can be easily adjusted, and the recombination region can be easily controlled. The ratio of the content of the material having hole transport properties to the content of the material having electron transport properties can be The ratio of the material having electron transport properties to the material having electron transport properties may be 1:9 to 9:1.
[0108] Furthermore, these mixed materials may form an exciplex. The exciplex is formed to emit light that overlaps with the wavelength of the lowest energy absorption band of By selecting such a combination, energy transfer becomes smooth and light emission can be obtained efficiently. In addition, the use of this configuration is also preferable because the driving voltage is reduced.
[0109] The electron transport layer 114 is a layer containing a substance having an electron transport property. Examples of the electron-transporting material include those listed as the materials having electron-transporting properties that can be used as the host material. can be used.
[0110] Between the electron transport layer 114 and the second electrode 102, a lithium fluoride layer was formed as an electron injection layer 115. Lithium fluoride (LiF), cesium fluoride (CsF), calcium fluoride (CaF2), etc. A layer containing an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal or a compound thereof may be provided. The layer 115 is a layer made of a substance having an electron transporting property and containing an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal Alternatively, a material containing such a compound or an electride may be used. For example, a material in which a high concentration of electrons is added to a mixed oxide of calcium and aluminum is used. Quality, etc.
[0111] In addition, a charge generation layer 116 may be provided instead of the electron injection layer 115. By applying a potential, holes are generated in the layer in contact with the cathode side of the layer, and electrons are generated in the layer in contact with the anode side. The charge generation layer 116 is a layer into which electrons can be injected. The P-type layer 117 is made of a material that can form the hole injection layer 111 described above. It is preferable that the P-type layer 117 is formed using the composite material mentioned above. As the materials constituting the substrate, a film containing the above-mentioned acceptor material and a film containing a hole transport material are stacked. By applying a potential to the P-type layer 117, the electron transport layer 114 Electrons and holes are injected into the second electrode 102, which is the cathode, and the light-emitting element operates.
[0112] The charge generation layer 116 includes an electron relay layer 118 and an electron injection buffer layer 119 in addition to the P-type layer 117. Preferably, one or both of layers 119 are provided.
[0113] The electron relay layer 118 contains at least a substance having electron transport properties, and the electron injection buffer layer 1 The electrons are transferred smoothly by preventing the interaction between the P-type layer 117 and the P-type layer 119. The LUMO level of the substance having electron transport properties contained in the relay layer 118 is The LUMO level of the acceptor material in the electron transport layer 114 and the charge generation layer 116 It is preferable that the LUMO level of the electron relay layer 11 is between the LUMO level of the material contained in the adjacent layer. Specific energy levels of the LUMO level in the electron transporting materials used in 8 is set to -5.0 eV or more, preferably -5.0 eV or more and -3.0 eV or less. The electron-transporting material used in the electron relay layer 118 is a phthalocyanine-based material. It is preferred to use materials or metal complexes having metal-oxygen bonds and aromatic ligands.
[0114] The electron injection buffer layer 119 contains an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, a rare earth metal, and These compounds (alkali metal compounds (oxides such as lithium oxide, halides, lithium carbonate) Alkaline earth metal compounds (including carbonates such as titanium and cesium carbonate), alkaline earth metal compounds (oxides, halogens compounds of rare earth metals (including oxides, halides, carbonates) or compounds of rare earth metals (including oxides, halides, carbonates) It is possible to use a material with high electron injection properties, such as SiO 2 .
[0115] The electron injection buffer layer 119 is formed by containing a substance having an electron transporting property and a donor substance. When the donor material is an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or a rare earth metal, and their compounds (alkali metal compounds (oxides such as lithium oxide, halides , including carbonates such as lithium carbonate and cesium carbonate), alkaline earth metal compounds (oxides, compounds of rare earth metals (including oxides, halides, carbonates) In addition to tetrathianaphthacene (abbreviated as TTN), nickelocene, decamethicone, An organic compound such as nickelocene can also be used. The electron transport layer 114 may be formed using the same material as that used for forming the electron transport layer 114 described above. This can be done.
[0116] The material forming the second electrode 102 is preferably one having a small work function (specifically, 3.8 eV or less). Bottom) Metals, alloys, electrically conductive compounds, and mixtures thereof can be used. Specific examples of such cathode materials include alkali metals such as lithium (Li) and cesium (Cs). Lithium metals, as well as magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), etc. Elements belonging to Group 1 or 2 of the Periodic Table of Elements, and alloys containing these elements (MgAg, Rare earth metals such as AlLi), europium (Eu), ytterbium (Yb) and the like, However, when the second electrode 102 and the electron transport layer are connected to each other, By providing an electron injection layer, it is possible to use Al, Ag, ITO, silicon, etc., regardless of the magnitude of the work function. Various conductive materials such as indium oxide-tin oxide containing silicon oxide or silicon oxide are used as the second These conductive materials can be used as the electrode 102. It is possible to form the film using dry methods such as inkjet printing, spin coating, etc. It may also be formed by a wet method using a sol-gel method, or by using a paste of a metal material. Alternatively, the layer may be formed by a wet method.
[0117] The EL layer 103 can be formed by various methods, including dry and wet methods. For example, vacuum deposition, gravure printing, offset printing, screen printing, etc. A printing method, an ink jet method, a spin coating method, or the like may also be used.
[0118] Furthermore, the above-mentioned electrodes or layers may be formed using different film formation methods.
[0119] The structure of the layer provided between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 is the same as that described above. However, it is not limited to the above. The first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 are arranged so as to suppress quenching caused by the A preferred configuration is one in which a light-emitting region where holes and electrons recombine is provided at a location away from O2.
[0120] Furthermore, recombination in the hole transport layer or electron transport layer in contact with the light-emitting layer 113, particularly in the light-emitting layer 113 The carrier transport layer close to the region suppresses energy transfer from excitons generated in the light-emitting layer. Therefore, the band gap is determined by the luminescent material that constitutes the luminescent layer or the luminescent material contained in the luminescent layer. It is preferable that the material be made of a substance having a band gap larger than the band gap of the material. Desirable.
[0121] Next, we will introduce light-emitting devices (such as stacked devices and tandem devices) that have a structure in which multiple light-emitting units are stacked. The embodiment of the light-emitting element (also referred to as a "light-emitting element") will be described with reference to FIG. 1(C). The light-emitting element has a plurality of light-emitting units between them. 1(C) has a structure similar to that of the EL layer 103 shown in FIG. The element is a light-emitting element having a plurality of light-emitting units, and is the light-emitting element shown in FIG. 1(A) or FIG. 1(B). An optical element can be said to be a light-emitting element having one light-emitting unit.
[0122] In FIG. 1C, a first light-emitting unit 511 and a second light-emitting unit 512 are disposed between the anode 501 and the cathode 502. The second light-emitting unit 512 is stacked, and the first light-emitting unit 511 and the second light-emitting unit A charge generating layer 513 is provided between the anode 501 and the cathode 502. These correspond to the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 in FIG. 1(A), respectively. The same as that described in the first light-emitting unit 51 can be applied. The first and second light-emitting units 512 may have the same or different configurations.
[0123] When a voltage is applied between the anode 501 and the cathode 502, the charge generating layer 513 generates a light emitting The electron-injecting unit has the function of injecting electrons into one light-emitting unit and holes into the other light-emitting unit. In 1(C), when a voltage is applied so that the anode potential is higher than the cathode potential, In this case, the charge generating layer 513 injects electrons into the first light-emitting unit 511 and Any material capable of injecting holes into the gate 512 may be used.
[0124] The charge generation layer 513 is formed to have the same structure as the charge generation layer 116 described in FIG. 1B. The composite material of an organic compound and a metal oxide has the properties of carrier injection, carrier transport, and the like. It has excellent electrical properties, making it possible to achieve low voltage and low current driving. When the anode side of the unit is in contact with the charge generating layer 513, the charge generating layer 513 is the light emitting unit. Since it can also function as a hole injection layer for the light-emitting unit, the light-emitting unit does not need to have a hole injection layer. Both are good.
[0125] In addition, when the electron injection buffer layer 119 is provided in the charge generation layer 513, the electron injection buffer Since the electron injection layer 119 plays the role of an electron injection layer in the light-emitting unit on the anode side, the light-emitting layer The unit does not necessarily need to have an electron injection layer.
[0126] Although the light-emitting element having two light-emitting units has been described in FIG. 1C, a light-emitting element having three or more light-emitting units may be used. The present invention can be similarly applied to a light-emitting element in which light-emitting units are stacked. As in the case of the light-emitting element according to the embodiment, a plurality of light-emitting units are disposed between a pair of electrodes, and a charge generating layer 513 By separating the layers, high brightness light emission is possible while keeping the current density low. It is possible to realize a long-life element. It is also possible to realize a light-emitting device that can be driven at a low voltage and consumes little power. It is possible.
[0127] 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 In this case, the first light-emitting unit emits red and green light, and the second light-emitting unit emits blue light. This makes it possible to obtain a light-emitting element that emits white light as a whole.
[0128] In addition, the EL layer 103, the first light-emitting unit 511, the second light-emitting unit 512, and Each layer such as the charge generating layer and the electrodes can be formed by, for example, a vapor deposition method (including a vacuum deposition method), a droplet discharge method (including an ink jet method), or the like. It can be formed by using methods such as ink jet printing, coating, and gravure printing. They can be used in a variety of applications, including low molecular weight materials, medium molecular weight materials (including oligomers and dendrimers), and or polymeric material.

The dust 1035 is covered with an overcoat layer 1036. The light-emitting layer is where light does not pass through the colored layers and goes out, and the light passes through the colored layers of each color and goes out. The light that does not pass through the colored layer is white, and the light that passes through the colored layer is red, green, or blue.

[0162] In the light emitting device described above, light is taken in toward the substrate 1001 on which the FET is formed. The light emitting device has a bottom emission structure, but the light is taken in from the sealing substrate 1031 side. The light emitting device may have a top emission structure. A cross-sectional view of the light-emitting device is shown in FIG. 4. In this case, a substrate that does not transmit light is used as the substrate 1001. Until the connection electrode that connects the FET and the anode of the light-emitting element is fabricated, the bottom electrode is The third interlayer insulating film 1037 is then formed on the electrode 1. This insulating film may also serve as a planarizing layer. The insulating film 1037 may be formed using the same material as the second interlayer insulating film, or other known materials.

The semi-reflective electrode has a visible light reflectance of 20% to 80%, preferably 40% to 70%. , and its resistivity is 1×10 -2 It is assumed that the film has a resistance of Ωcm or less.
[0167] The light emitted from the light-emitting layer included in the EL layer is reflected by the reflective electrode and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective electrode. The sound is reflected and resonates.
[0168] The light-emitting element can be fabricated by changing the thickness of the transparent conductive film, the composite material, the carrier transport material, etc. This allows the optical distance between the reflective electrode and the semi-transmissive / semi-reflective electrode to be changed. Between the reflective electrode and the semi-transparent / semi-reflective electrode, the light of the resonating wavelength is strengthened and the light of the non-resonating wavelength is strengthened. It is possible to attenuate light of wavelengths.

[0171] The microcavity structure makes it possible to enhance the front-direction emission intensity of specific wavelengths. This allows for lower power consumption. In the case of a light-emitting device that displays images using a single pixel, the yellow light emission not only improves brightness, but also Since a microcavity structure tailored to the wavelength of each color can be applied, it is possible to achieve light-emitting devices with excellent characteristics. It can be placed.
