Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] One aspect of the present invention relates to an organic compound, a light-emitting device, a display module, and a lighting module. This relates to displays, light-emitting devices, electronic equipment, lighting devices, and electronic devices. One aspect of the invention is not limited to the above-mentioned technical field. The field of expertise is related to products, methods, or methods of manufacture. Or, one aspect of the present invention is , process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter -) is the subject matter. Therefore, one aspect of the present invention disclosed herein is more specifically Technical fields include semiconductor devices, display devices, liquid crystal display devices, light-emitting devices, lighting devices, and energy storage devices. Examples include a device, a memory device, an imaging device, a method for driving them, or a method for manufacturing them. It can be listed. [Background technology]

[0002] Electroluminescence (EL) using organic compounds The practical application of light-emitting devices (organic EL devices) that utilize these (ence) is progressing. The basic configuration of a light-emitting device is an organic compound layer (EL layer) containing light-emitting material between a pair of electrodes. It is a device with a voltage applied to it to inject a carrier, and the carrier is then re-injected. By utilizing the binding energy, it is possible to obtain light emission from a light-emitting material.

[0003] Since such light-emitting devices are self-emissive, when used as pixels in a display, they become liquid crystals. Compared to other displays, it has advantages such as higher visibility and the elimination of the need for a backlight, and flat panel displays. It is suitable as a spray element. Furthermore, a display using such a light-emitting device is Furthermore, the ability to manufacture it in a thin and lightweight form is a major advantage. In addition, its extremely fast response speed is also a significant feature. It is one of the signs.

[0004] Furthermore, these light-emitting devices allow for the continuous formation of a light-emitting layer in two dimensions. This allows for the emission of light in a planar manner. This is different from point light sources such as incandescent bulbs and LEDs, This is a characteristic that is difficult to obtain with linear light sources such as fluorescent lamps, and therefore it is a surface light source that can be applied to lighting and the like. It also has high utility value.

[0005] In this way, displays and lighting devices using light-emitting devices can be applied to a variety of electronic devices. While current devices are capable, research and development are underway to find light-emitting devices with even better characteristics.

[0006] One of the issues often raised when discussing organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is light extraction efficiency. It has low efficiency. In particular, attenuation due to reflection caused by the difference in refractive index of adjacent layers is a factor in the effectiveness of the element. This is a major factor in reducing the efficiency. To mitigate this effect, low refractive index is used inside the EL layer. A configuration has been proposed in which layers made of a specific material are formed (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

[0007] Light-emitting devices with this configuration have higher light extraction efficiency than light-emitting devices with conventional configurations. This makes it possible to create a light-emitting device with high external quantum efficiency, but such low temperature The refractive index layer is placed inside the EL layer without adversely affecting other important properties in the light-emitting device. It is not easy to form, because it requires a low refractive index and high carrier transport properties. This is because reliability is a trade-off when used in light-emitting devices. In organic compounds, carrier transportability and reliability stem from the presence of unsaturated bonds. Large organic compounds with many unsaturated bonds tend to have a high refractive index, which is the reason for this. ru. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0054] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is as follows Not limited to the description, the form and details thereof may be described without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the invention can be modified in various ways. Therefore, the present invention is as follows: This should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the embodiments.

[0055] (Embodiment 1) Among organic compounds with carrier transport properties that can be used in organic EL elements, One of the materials with low efficacy is 1,1-bis[4-[N,N-di(p-tolyl)amino]phen [Lu-cyclohexane (abbreviated as TAPC) is known. Materials with a low refractive index are used in the EL layer. Using TAPC makes it possible to increase the external quantum efficiency of the light-emitting device. This is expected to yield light-emitting devices with good external quantum efficiency. However, T APC has a low glass transition temperature, which gives it problems with heat resistance. Also, TAPC has holes It is possible to pass through a substance, but it is practically impossible to pass through electrons.

[0056] Furthermore, in order to obtain a material with a low refractive index, atoms with low atomic refraction are introduced into the molecule, Alternatively, it is preferable to introduce substituents with low molecular refraction. Substituents with low molecular refraction include saturates. Examples include saturated hydrocarbon groups and cyclic saturated hydrocarbon groups.

[0057] Typically, there is a trade-off relationship between carrier transportability and refractive index, and improving carrier transportability is important. It is commonly believed that the refractive index increases. This is because the carrier transport properties in organic compounds are This is largely due to the presence of unsaturated bonds, and organic compounds with many unsaturated bonds are prone to refractory behavior. This is because the conversion rate tends to be high.

[0058] Furthermore, electron-transporting organic compounds are required to meet the LUMO (Lowest Unspaced Orbital) requirements. Due to the low level of the noccupied molecular orbital (Molecular Orbital) level, originally Compared to hole-transporting organic compounds, these compounds offer superior mobility and stability for use in organic light-emitting diode (EL) devices. It is known to be difficult to produce the necessary characteristics. Therefore, these characteristics are negatively affected. The introduction of saturated hydrocarbon groups that impart this property was considered undesirable.

[0059] However, contrary to these conventional theories, the inventors have developed a material that combines carrier transportability with a low refractive index.

In organic compounds, the proportion of carbon atoms forming bonds with sp3 hybrid orbitals is within a certain range. This provides not only a low refractive index and high electron transport properties, but also heat resistance with a high glass transition temperature. This makes it possible to obtain materials for light-emitting devices and electron transport layers that also possess the following properties.

[0060] Furthermore, by using the above-mentioned light-emitting device material in the EL layer of the light-emitting device, a low refractive index is achieved.

That is, the total amount of bonds formed by sp3 hybrid orbitals As the number of carbon atoms increases, the refractive index decreases, thus improving the light extraction efficiency of light-emitting devices that utilize this. The rate can be improved.

[0066] Furthermore, the electron transport layer material has a reduced number of six-membered heteroaromatic rings containing 1 to 3 nitrogen atoms. Each has one, and has multiple aromatic hydrocarbon rings with 6 to 14 carbon atoms forming a ring, and multiple At least two of the aromatic hydrocarbon rings are benzene rings, and the bonds are formed by sp3 hybrid orbitals. It includes organic compounds that have multiple hydrocarbon groups, and the total number of carbon atoms in the molecule of the organic compound In contrast, the proportion of the total number of carbon atoms forming bonds in sp3 hybrid orbitals is between 10% and 60%.

That is, the total amount of bonds formed by sp3 hybrid orbitals As the number of carbon atoms increases, the refractive index decreases, thus improving the light extraction efficiency of light-emitting devices that utilize this. The rate can be improved. However, the total number of carbon atoms forming bonds in sp3 hybrid orbitals If the amount becomes too large, it hinders the overlap of LUMOs between neighboring molecules in organic compounds. Damage to this reduces carrier transportability (such as electron transportability and electron injectionability). Therefore, the ratio of the total number of carbon atoms in a molecule to the total number of carbon atoms that form bonds with sp3 hybrid orbitals is, Preferably, the amount is 10% to 60%, and more preferably 20% to 50%.

[0069] Furthermore, the proportion of the total number of carbon atoms forming bonds in sp3 hybrid orbitals, as shown in the above configuration, It affects the refractive index of organic compounds. That is, the total amount of bonds formed by sp3 hybrid orbitals As the number of carbon atoms increases, the refractive index decreases, thus improving the light extraction efficiency of light-emitting devices that utilize this. The ratio can be improved. Also, the total number of carbon atoms forming bonds in sp3 hybrid orbitals is large. This is preferable because it improves heat resistance, such as the glass transition temperature. However, bonding with sp3 hybrid orbitals When the total number of carbon atoms in the formation becomes too large, the intermolecular relationships between neighboring molecules in the organic compound become complicated. The overlap of the LUMO is inhibited, which hinders carrier transport (electron transport and electron injection).

[0169] In the light-emitting device shown in Figures 1(A) and 1(C), the first electrode 101 is the anode. In this case, an EL layer 103 is formed on the first electrode 101 by vacuum deposition. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1(C), there is an E between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102. The L layer 103 consists of a hole injection layer 111, a hole transport layer 112, a light-emitting layer 113, and an electron transport layer. The deposition layer 114 and the electron injection layer 115 are sequentially layered and formed by vacuum deposition. Figure 1(B In the light-emitting device shown in Figures 1(D) and 1(E), the first electrode 101 is the anode. In this case, the hole injection layer 111a of the EL layer 103a and hole transport are located on the first electrode 101. Layer 112a is sequentially laminated by vacuum deposition.

[0171] Organic acceptor materials have a LUMO level and HOMO (Highest Occupied Orbital: High) Other values ​​of the Occupied Molecular Orbital (Es) levels are close to each other. By separating charge between an organic compound and the substance, a hole is generated in the organic compound. It is a material that can be used for this purpose. Therefore, as an organic acceptor material, quinodimethane Electron-withdrawing groups such as derivatives, chloranil derivatives, and hexaazatriphenylene derivatives (for example) Compounds having a halogen group or a cyano group can be used.

However, especially when an electron-withdrawing group is bonded to a condensed aromatic ring with multiple complex atoms, such as HAT-CN The compound is suitable because it has high acceptor properties and its film structure is stable against heat. In addition, there are also electron-withdrawing groups (especially halogen groups such as fluoro groups or cyano groups) [ 3] Radialene derivatives are preferred because they have very high electron-accepting properties, specifically α,α', α''-1,2,3-cyclopropanetriylidentris[4-cyano-2,3,5,6 -tetrafluorobenzeneacetonitrile], α,α',α''-1,2,3-cyclop Ropantriiridentris[2,6-dichloro-3,5-difluoro-4-(trifluoro [methyl)benzeneacetonitrile], α,α',α''-1,2,3-cyclopropane Tri-iridentris [2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzeneacetonitrile] You can use these.

Holes are injected into the light-emitting layer 113 via the hole transport layer 112. Note that the hole injection layer 111 is A composite material consisting of a hole transport material and an organic acceptor material (electron-accepting material).

[0186] However, the hole transport material is not limited to the above, and may be one or more of various known materials. They may be used in combination as a hole-transporting material.

[0187] Furthermore, the hole injection layers (111, 111a, 111b) were formed using various known film deposition methods. This can be achieved, for example, by using a vacuum deposition method.

[0188] <Hole transport layer> The hole transport layer (112, 112a, 112b) is a hole injection layer (111, 111a, 111 b) The holes injected from the first electrode 101 are directed to the light-emitting layer (113, 113a, 11 3b) is the layer that transports holes. Note that the hole transport layers (112, 112a, 112b) are the layers that transport holes This is a layer containing transportable material. Therefore, the hole transport layers (112, 112a, 112b) are: Using a hole transport material that can be used in the hole injection layer (111, 111a, 111b) It is possible.

[0189] Furthermore, in a light-emitting device according to one aspect of the present invention, the hole transport layer (112, 112a, 1 The same organic compound as in 12b) can be used in the light-emitting layers (113, 113a, 113b). The hole transport layer (112, 112a, 112b) and the light-emitting layer (113, 113a, 113b When the same organic compound is used in the ), the hole transport layer (112, 112a, 112b) is used to emit light from the luminescent layer. This is preferable because it allows for efficient transport of the holes to (113, 113a, 113b). .

[0190] <Luminous layer> The light-emitting layer (113, 113a, 113b) is a layer containing a light-emitting material. Examples of luminescent materials that can be used in 13, 113a, and 113b include blue, purple, and blue-violet. Substances that emit light in various colors such as green, yellow-green, yellow, orange, and red can be used as appropriate. Furthermore, if there are multiple light-emitting layers, by using different light-emitting materials for each light-emitting layer... Configurations that exhibit different emission colors (for example, white obtained by combining emission colors that are complementary colors) It can be made to emit colored light. Furthermore, a laminated structure in which one of the light-emitting layers has a different light-emitting material. That is also acceptable.

[0191] Furthermore, the light-emitting layers (113, 113a, 113b) contain, in addition to the light-emitting material (guest material), 1 It may contain one or more types of organic compounds (such as host materials).

[0192] Furthermore, when multiple host materials are used in the light-emitting layer (113, 113a, 113b), additional materials may be added. As a second host material, the energy of the existing guest material and the first host material It is preferable to use a material that has a larger energy gap than the cap. The lowest singlet excitation energy level (S1 level) of the host material is the S1 level of the first host material. Higher than the level, the lowest triplet excitation energy level (T1 level) of the second host material is, It is preferable that the T1 level is higher than that of the host material. Also, the lowest triplet excitation of the second host material. The electromotive force level (T1 level) is preferably higher than the T1 level of the first host material. i. By using this configuration, an excited complex can be formed using two types of host materials. This can be achieved. Furthermore, in order to efficiently form an excited complex, a compound that readily accepts holes is needed. Combining a hole-transporting material with a compound that readily accepts electrons (an electron-transporting material) This is particularly preferable. Furthermore, this configuration simultaneously achieves high efficiency, low voltage, and long lifespan. It is possible.

[0193] Furthermore, the above host material (including the first host material and the second host material) is used As for organic compounds, if they satisfy the conditions for being a host material used in the light-emitting layer, the aforementioned holes Hole-transporting material that can be used in the transport layer (112, 112a, 112b), or after An electron-transporting material that can be used in the electron transport layers (114, 114a, 114b) described above, Examples of organic compounds include, and multiple types of organic compounds (the first host material and the second) It may also be an excited complex consisting of a host material. Furthermore, the excited state can be determined by using multiple types of organic compounds. The excited complex that is formed (also known as exciplex, exciplex, or exciplex) (This refers to a state where the difference between the S1 and T1 levels is extremely small, and the triplet excitation energy is singlet excitation.) It functions as a TADF material that can be converted into electromotive force. As for combinations of multiple types of organic compounds that form a body, for example, one of them is a π-electron-deficient complex. It is preferable that one side has an aromatic ring and the other side has a π-electron-rich heteroaromatic ring. The combinations include iridium, rhodium, or platinum-based organometallic complexes on one side. Alternatively, phosphorescent materials such as metal complexes may be used.

[0194] The light-emitting material that can be used in the light-emitting layers (113, 113a, 113b) is not particularly limited. There is no singlet excitation energy, but rather a light-emitting material that converts singlet excitation energy into emission in the visible light region, or triplet excitation A light-emitting material that converts energy into visible light emission can be used.

[0195] <<Luminescent material that converts singlet excitation energy into light emission>> Singlet excitation energies that can be used in the light-emitting layers (113, 113a, 113b) Examples of light-emitting substances that convert light into light include the following fluorescent substances (fluorescent light-emitting substances): For example, pyrene derivatives, anthracene derivatives, triphenylene derivatives, fluorene Derivatives, carbazole derivatives, dibenzothiophene derivatives, dibenzofuran derivatives, dibe Quinoxaline derivatives, quinoxaline derivatives, pyridine derivatives, pyrimidine derivatives, f Examples include fenanthrene derivatives and naphthalene derivatives.

Formed on the layer of the part (in this embodiment, up to the electron transport layer 108B on the light-emitting layer) It is formed while leaving the resist intact. Therefore, the insulating layer 107B is part of the EL layer 103B. It is formed in contact with the side (or end) of the layer (above) of the part. This results in EL layer 103B This prevents oxygen or moisture, or their constituent elements, from entering the interior from the sides. Yes, it is possible. Furthermore, the insulating layer 107B may contain, for example, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, or acid Hafnium oxide, gallium oxide, indium gallium zinc oxide, silicon nitride, or nitrogen Silicon oxide and the like can be used. Sputtering is used to form the insulating layer 107B. Methods such as CVD, MBE, PLD, and ALD can be used, but the coverage is good. A preferred ALD method is more desirable.

[0261] Also, a portion of the EL layer 103B (formed up to the electron transport layer 108B) and the insulating layer 107B The electron injection layer 109 is formed covering the layer. The electron injection layer 109 has electrical resistance within the layer It is preferable to have a laminated structure of two or more layers with different properties. For example, the electron transport layer 108B and the layer in contact with The first layer is formed using only an electron-transporting material, and an electron-transporting material containing a metal material is placed on top of it. A second layer formed by the same material may be stacked, and further, gold may be placed between the first layer and the electron transport layer 108B. It may also have a third layer formed of an electron-transporting material containing the genus material.

[0262] Electrode 552 is formed on the electron injection layer 109. Note that electrode 551B and electrode 552 are , and have overlapping regions. Also, an EL layer 103B is placed between electrode 551B and electrode 552. Therefore, the electron injection layer 109 has an insulating layer 107B through the EL layer 103B. A structure located on the side (or edge) of some of the layers, or an electrode 552, in the electron injection layer 109 and located on the side (or edge) of a portion of the EL layer 103B via the insulating layer 107B. It has a structure that allows the EL layer 103B and the electrode 552, more specifically the EL layer 1 The hole injection / transport layer 104B and electrode 552 in 03B are electrically short-circuited. This can prevent it.

[0263] The EL layer 103B shown in Figure 2(A) is the same as the EL layers 103 and 103a described in Embodiment 2. It has the same configuration as 103b and 103c. In addition, the EL layer 103B is, for example, blue light It can fire projectiles.

[0264] The light-emitting device 550G consists of electrode 551G, electrode 552, EL layer 103G, and insulating layer 1 It has 07G. The specific configuration of each layer is as shown in Embodiment 2. Also, E The L layer 103G has a laminated structure consisting of multiple layers with different functions, including an emissive layer. (Figure 2) In A), among the layers included in the EL layer 103G, which contains the light-emitting layer, the hole injection / transport layer 104 Only G, electron transport layer 108G, and electron injection layer 109 are shown in the illustration, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the hole injection / transport layer 104G is the same as the hole injection layer and hole transport layer shown in Embodiment 2. This indicates a layer that has the function of a transport layer, and may have a laminated structure.

[0265] Furthermore, the electron transport layer 108G may have a stacked structure, and the light-emitting layer may be accessed from the anode side. A hole-blocking layer is placed in contact with the light-emitting layer to block holes that pass through and move towards the cathode. It is acceptable to have it. Also, the electron injection layer 109 may use some or all different materials. It is acceptable for the structure to have a layered structure formed by the process.

[0266] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2(A), the insulating layer 107G is on the electrode 551G, and the EL layer 103G is on top of it. Formed on top of the layer (in this embodiment, up to the electron transport layer 108G on the light-emitting layer) It is formed while leaving the resist intact. Therefore, the insulating layer 107G is part of the EL layer 103G. It is formed in contact with the side (or end) of the layer (above). This results in the EL layer 103G This prevents oxygen or moisture, or their constituent elements, from entering the interior from the sides. Yes, it is possible. Furthermore, the insulating layer 107G may contain, for example, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, or acid Hafnium oxide, gallium oxide, indium gallium zinc oxide, silicon nitride, or nitrogen Silicon oxide and the like can be used. Sputtering is used to form the insulating layer 107G. Methods such as CVD, MBE, PLD, and ALD can be used, but the coverage is good. A preferred ALD method is more desirable.

[0267] Also, some layers of the EL layer 103G (formed up to the electron transport layer 108G) and the insulating layer 107G The electron injection layer 109 is formed covering the layer. The electron injection layer 109 has electrical resistance within the layer It is preferable to have a laminated structure of two or more layers with different properties. For example, the electron transport layer 108G and the contact The first layer is formed using only an electron-transporting material, and an electron-transporting material containing a metal material is placed on top of it. A second layer formed by the same material may be stacked, and further, gold may be placed between the first layer and the electron transport layer 108G. It may also have a third layer formed of an electron-transporting material containing the genus material.

[0268] Furthermore, electrode 552 is formed on the electron injection layer 109. Note that electrode 551G and electrode 55 2 has overlapping regions. Also, EL layer 1 is between electrode 551G and electrode 552. It has 03G. Therefore, the electron injection layer 109 penetrates the EL layer 10 through the insulating layer 107G. A structure located on the side (or edge) of a part of the 3G layer, or electrode 552, is an electron injection layer. 109 and the insulating layer 107G on the sides (or edges) of some layers of the EL layer 103G It has a structure in which the EL layer 103G and electrode 552 are located. The hole injection / transport layer 104G and electrode 552 in the L layer 103G are electrically short-circuited. This can prevent that from happening.

[0269] The EL layer 103G shown in Figure 2(A) is the same as the EL layers 103 and 103a described in Embodiment 2. It has the same configuration as 103b and 103c. In addition, the EL layer 103G is, for example, green light It can fire projectiles.

[0270] The light-emitting device 550R consists of electrode 551R, electrode 552, EL layer 103R, and insulating layer 1 It has 07R. The specific configuration of each layer is as shown in Embodiment 2. Also, E The L layer 103R has a laminated structure consisting of multiple layers with different functions, including an emissive layer. (Figure 2) In A), among the layers included in the EL layer 103R, which contains the light-emitting layer, the hole injection / transport layer 104 Only R, electron transport layer 108R, and electron injection layer 109 are shown in the illustration, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the hole injection / transport layer 104R is the hole injection layer and hole transport layer shown in Embodiment 2. This indicates a layer having the function of a transport layer, and may have a laminated structure. In this specification, Even in offset light-emitting devices, the hole injection / transport layer can be reinterpreted in this way. Furthermore, the electron transport layer 108R may have a stacked structure, and from the anode side A hole-blocking layer is used to block holes that pass through the light-emitting layer and move towards the cathode. It may also be in contact with the electron injection layer 109. It is acceptable for the material to have a layered structure formed using the material.

[0271] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2(A), the insulating layer 107R is on one side of the EL layer 103R on the electrode 551R. Formed on the layer of the part (in this embodiment, formed up to the electron transport layer 108R on the light-emitting layer) It is formed while leaving the resist intact. Therefore, the insulating layer 107R is part of the EL layer 103R. It is formed in contact with the side (or end) of the layer (above). This results in the EL layer 103R This prevents oxygen or moisture, or their constituent elements, from entering the interior from the sides. Yes, it is possible. Furthermore, the insulating layer 107R may contain, for example, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, or acid Hafnium oxide, gallium oxide, indium gallium zinc oxide, silicon nitride, or nitrogen Silicon oxide and the like can be used. Sputtering is used to form the insulating layer 107R. Methods such as CVD, MBE, PLD, and ALD can be used, but the coverage is good. A preferred ALD method is more desirable.

[0272] Furthermore, some layers of the EL layer 103R (up to the electron transport layer 108R) and the insulating layer 107R The electron injection layer 109 is formed covering the layer. The electron injection layer 109 has electrical resistance within the layer It is preferable to have a laminated structure of two or more layers with different properties. For example, the electron transport layer 108R and the layer in contact The first layer is formed using only an electron-transporting material, and an electron-transporting material containing a metal material is placed on top of it. A second layer formed by the same material may be stacked, and further, gold may be placed between the first layer and the electron transport layer 108R. It may also have a third layer formed of an electron-transporting material containing the genus material.

[0273] Electrode 552 is formed on the electron injection layer 109. Note that electrode 551R and electrode 552 are , and have overlapping regions. Also, between electrode 551R and electrode 552, there is an EL layer 103R Therefore, the electron injection layer 109 has an insulating layer 107R through the EL layer 103R. A structure located on the side (or edge) of some of the layers, or an electrode 552, in the electron injection layer 109 and located on the side (or edge) of a portion of the EL layer 103R via the insulating layer 107R. It has a structure that allows the EL layer 103R and the electrode 552, more specifically the EL layer 1 The hole injection / transport layer 104R and electrode 552 in 03R are electrically short-circuited. This can prevent it.

[0274] The EL layer 103R shown in Figure 2(A) is the EL layer 103, 103a, described in Embodiment 2. It has the same configuration as 103b and 103c. In addition, the EL layer 103R is, for example, red light It can fire projectiles.

[0275] There is a gap of 580 between EL layer 103B, EL layer 103G, and EL layer 103R. It has, in each EL layer, particularly in the hole transport region located between the anode and the light-emitting layer. Because the hole injection layer often has high conductivity, it is used as a common layer for adjacent light-emitting devices. When formed in this way, it can cause crosstalk. Therefore, as shown in this example configuration... By providing a gap 580 between each EL layer, the generation between adjacent light-emitting devices This makes it possible to suppress the occurrence of crosstalk.

[0276] In a high-resolution light-emitting device (display panel) with a resolution exceeding 1000 ppi, the EL layer 103B, E If electrical conductivity is detected between the L layer 103G and the EL layer 103R, cross-conduction occurs. This phenomenon occurs, narrowing the color gamut that the light-emitting device can display. A high-resolution display panel, preferably a high-resolution display panel with a resolution exceeding 2000 ppi, more preferably Mashiku achieves a vivid display by incorporating a 580-degree gap into an ultra-high-definition display panel with over 5000 ppi. It can provide a display panel capable of displaying vibrant colors.

[0277] As shown in Figure 2(B), the partition wall 528 has openings 528B, 528G, and 52 It is equipped with 8R. Note that, as shown in Figure 2(A), the opening 528B overlaps with the electrode 551B. Furthermore, opening 528G overlaps with electrode 551G, and opening 528R overlaps with electrode 551R. Furthermore, the cross-sectional view along the dashed line Y1-Y2 shown in Figure 2(B) is the same as the light emission shown in Figure 2(A). This corresponds to a schematic cross-sectional view of the device.

[0278] Furthermore, the division of these EL layers (EL layer 103B, EL layer 103G, and EL layer 103R) In the release process, we use photolithography to form patterns, resulting in high resolution. It is possible to fabricate a light-emitting device (display panel). Furthermore, using the photolithography method... EL layer processed by pattern formation (hole injection / transport layer, light-emitting layer, and electron transport layer) The edges (sides) of the layers have a shape that is roughly the same surface (or is located on roughly the same plane). This results in the following shape. Furthermore, the gap 580 provided between each EL layer is preferably 5 μm or less. Furthermore, a particle size of 1 μm or less is more preferable.

[0279] In the EL layer, the hole injection layer is particularly included in the hole transport region located between the anode and the light-emitting layer. Because it often has high conductivity, it is formed as a common layer for adjacent light-emitting devices. This can sometimes cause crosstalk. Therefore, as shown in this example configuration, phototri By separating the EL layer using pattern formation with the sography method, adjacent emission This makes it possible to suppress the occurrence of crosstalk between optical devices.

[0280] In this specification, etc., metal mask, or FMM (Fine Metal Mask, High-Definition Metal Mask) Devices fabricated using a metal mask are called MM (metal mask) structured devices. In some cases, this may occur. Also, in this specification, etc., if a metal mask or FMM is used Devices manufactured without a metal mask are sometimes referred to as MML (Metal Maskless) devices. be.

[0281] <Example 1 of a manufacturing method for a light-emitting device> As shown in Figure 3(A), electrodes 551B, 551G, and 551R are formed. For example, a conductive film is formed on a functional layer 520 formed on a first substrate 510, and photolithography is performed. The material is processed into a predetermined shape using the sography method.

[0282] Furthermore, conductive films can be formed using methods such as sputtering and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Vapor Deposition (PLD) method, vacuum deposition method, pulsed laser deposition (PLD) Pulsed Laser Deposition) method, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD: Atom It can be formed using methods such as CVD (Chemical Layer Deposition). The method is called Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD). Examples include the VD (Volatile Discharge) method or the thermal CVD method. Furthermore, one type of thermal CVD method is organometallic chemical vapor deposition (CVD). One method is phase deposition (MOCVD: Metal Organic CVD).

[0283] In addition to the photolithography method mentioned above, nanoimprint lithography is also used for processing conductive films. Thin films may be processed by methods such as sandblasting or lift-off. Also, metal masks can be used. Island-like thin films may be directly formed by a film deposition method using a shielding mask such as the one described above.

[0284] There are two main methods for processing using photolithography: One method involves forming a resist mask on the thin film to be processed, and then etching the thin film. This method involves processing and removing the resist mask. Another method involves forming a photosensitive thin film. This method involves exposing and developing the thin film to form the desired shape.

[0285] In photolithography, the light used for exposure is, for example, the i-line (wavelength 365 nm), g The light used is a linear light (wavelength 436 nm), an h-line (wavelength 405 nm), or a mixture of these. This can be done by using ultraviolet light, KrF laser light, or ArF laser light, etc. It is also possible to perform exposure using immersion lithography. Furthermore, the light used for exposure is Therefore, extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light or X-rays are used. It is acceptable. Alternatively, an electron beam can be used instead of the light used for exposure. Extreme Violet Using ambient light, X-rays, or electron beams is preferable because it allows for extremely fine processing. Furthermore, when exposure is performed by scanning a beam such as an electron beam, a photomask is used. It is unnecessary.

[0286] Etching of thin films using resist masks can be done using dry etching or wet etching. Methods such as sculpting and sandblasting can be used.

[0287] Next, as shown in Figure 3(B), between electrode 551B, electrode 551G, and electrode 551R Partition walls 528 are formed in each of them. For example, electrode 551B, electrode 551G, and electrode 5 An insulating film is formed to cover 51R, and an opening is formed using photolithography, and electrode 55 This is formed by exposing parts of 1B, electrode 551G, and electrode 551R. Yes, it is possible. Furthermore, materials that can be used for the partition wall 528 include inorganic materials, organic materials, and Examples include composite materials of inorganic and organic materials. Specifically, inorganic oxide films and inorganic nitrides. A laminated material consisting of a physical film or an inorganic oxidized nitride film, or a plurality of these selected from a single film. Specifically, this includes silicon oxide films, films containing acrylic, films containing polyimide, etc. A laminated material can be used, which is made by stacking multiple materials selected from these.

[0288] Next, as shown in Figure 4(A), electrode 551B, electrode 551G, electrode 551R, and separator An EL layer 103B is formed on the wall 528. Note that in Figure 4(A), the EL layer 103B is up to the hole injection / transport layer 104B, the light-emitting layer, and the electron transport layer 108B are formed. For example, using a vacuum deposition method, electrode 551B, electrode 551G, electrode 551R, and separator On the wall 528, an EL layer 103B is formed to cover these. Furthermore, the EL layer 103B A sacrificial layer 110 is formed on top.

[0289] The sacrificial layer 110 is a film that is highly resistant to etching of the EL layer 103B, i.e., A film with a high selectivity ratio for chipping can be used. Also, the sacrificial layer 110 is each etched A laminated structure consisting of a first sacrificial layer and a second sacrificial layer with different selection ratios for the ching is preferred. Furthermore, the sacrificial layer 110 is etched using a wet etching method that causes less damage to the EL layer 103B. A film that can be removed by this method can be used. Etching material used for wet etching For example, oxalic acid can be used. In this specification, the sacrificial layer is made It can also be called the "sc layer".

[0290] Examples of sacrificial layers 110 include metal films, alloy films, metal oxide films, semiconductor films, and inorganic insulating films. Inorganic films such as those mentioned above can be used. In addition, the sacrificial layer 110 can be prepared by sputtering or vapor deposition. These can be formed by various film deposition methods such as CVD and ALD.

[0291] For example, the sacrificial layer 110 includes gold, silver, platinum, magnesium, nickel, tungsten, Chromium, molybdenum, iron, cobalt, copper, palladium, titanium, aluminum, yttrium Metallic materials such as um, zirconium, and tantalum, or alloy materials containing such metallic materials It can be used. In particular, it is preferable to use low-melting-point materials such as aluminum or silver. It's nice.

[0292] Furthermore, the sacrificial layer 110 is made of indium gallium zinc oxide (In-Ga-Zn oxide). Metal oxides such as IGZO can be used. Indium, indium zinc oxide (In-Zn oxide), indium tin oxide (In-Sn Indium titanium oxide (In-Ti oxide), indium tin zinc oxide ( In-Sn-Zn oxide, indium titanium zinc oxide (In-Ti-Zn oxide), Use indium gallium tin zinc oxide (In-Ga-Sn-Zn oxide), etc. This can be done. Alternatively, indium tin oxide containing silicon can also be used.

[0293] Note that the above gallium can be replaced with element M (where M is aluminum, silicon, boron, yttrium). Umium, copper, vanadium, beryllium, titanium, iron, nickel, germanium, zirconium Molybdenum, lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, hafnium, tantalum, tungsten , or one or more types selected from magnesium can also be used. In particular, M This refers to one or more elements selected from gallium, aluminum, or yttrium. It is preferable.

[0294] Furthermore, the sacrificial layer 110 includes aluminum oxide, hafnium oxide, silicon oxide, etc. Inorganic insulating materials can be used.

[0295] Furthermore, the sacrificial layer 110 is a film located at least at the top of the EL layer 103B (electron transport For the transport layer 108B), it is preferable to use a material that can be dissolved in a chemically stable solvent. In particular, materials that are soluble in water or alcohol can be suitably used in the sacrificial layer 110. When forming the sacrificial layer 110, the material is dissolved in a solvent such as water or alcohol. In this state, after coating using a wet film deposition method, a heat treatment is performed to evaporate the solvent. Preferably, the solvent can be removed at a low temperature and in a short time by performing a heat treatment under reduced pressure. Since it can be removed, thermal damage to the EL layer 103B can be reduced, which is preferable.

[0296] Furthermore, when the sacrificial layer 110 is made into a laminated structure, the layer formed of the above-mentioned material is the first sacrificial layer A sacrificial layer can be formed, and a second sacrificial layer can be formed on top of it to create a layered structure.

[0297] In this case, the second sacrificial layer is used as a hard mask when etching the first sacrificial layer. It is a film. Furthermore, when processing the second sacrificial layer, the first sacrificial layer is exposed. Therefore, The first sacrificial layer and the second sacrificial layer are a combination of films that have a high etching selectivity ratio with respect to each other. Select. Therefore, the etching conditions for the first sacrificial layer and the etching strips for the second sacrificial layer. Depending on the circumstances, a membrane suitable for use as a second sacrificial layer can be selected.

[0298] For example, a fluorine-containing gas (also called a fluorine-based gas) is used to etch the second sacrificial layer. When using the dry etching method, silicon, silicon nitride, silicon oxide, Contains sten, titanium, molybdenum, tantalum, tantalum nitride, molybdenum and niobium. Using an alloy, or an alloy containing molybdenum and tungsten, as the second sacrificial layer Yes, it is possible. Here, for dry etching using the above fluorine-based gas, the etching selection As for films that allow for a high selectivity ratio (i.e., a slower etching rate), IGZO, Examples include metal oxide films such as ITO, which can be used as the first sacrificial layer.

[0299] Furthermore, this is not the only option; the second sacrificial layer is made from various materials, including the etched material from the first sacrificial layer. The etching conditions for the second sacrificial layer can be selected depending on the etching conditions. Alternatively, a membrane can be selected from among those that can be used for the first sacrificial layer described above.

[0300] Furthermore, a nitride film can be used as the second sacrificial layer, for example. Silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, hafnium nitride, titanium nitride, tantalum nitride, tan nitride Nitrides such as gusten, gallium nitride, and germanium nitride can also be used.

[0301] Alternatively, an oxide film can be used as a second sacrificial layer. Typically, silica oxide is used. Cone, silicon oxide nitride, aluminum oxide, aluminum oxide nitride, hafnium oxide, Oxide films such as hafnium oxynitride or oxynitride films can also be used.

[0302] Next, as shown in Figure 4(B), the EL layer 103B on the electrode 551B is processed into a predetermined shape. For example, a sacrificial layer 110B is formed on the EL layer 103B, and photolithography is applied on top of it. The resist is formed into the desired shape using the method (see Figure 4(A)), and the resulting resist mask A portion of the sacrificial layer 110B that is not covered by REG is removed by etching, and the resist mask R After removing EG, a portion of the EL layer 103B that is not covered by the sacrificial layer 110B is etched. Remove and erode the EL layer 103B on electrode 551G and the EL layer 103B on electrode 551R. Removed by cutting, resulting in a shape with sides (or exposed sides), or a paper surface. It is processed into a strip-like shape that extends in intersecting directions. Specifically, the EL that overlaps with electrode 551B. Dry etching is performed using the sacrificial layer 110B, which has a pattern formed on layer 103B. (Figure) See 4(B). Note that the sacrificial layer 110B is the product of the first sacrificial layer and the second sacrificial layer described above. If a layered structure is present, a portion of the second sacrificial layer is etched by the resist mask REG. After that, remove the resist mask REG, and use the second sacrificial layer as a mask for the first sacrificial layer. A portion may be etched and the EL layer 103B processed into a predetermined shape. Note that bulkhead 528 This can be used as an etching stopper.

[0304] Next, as shown in Figure 5(A), the EL layer 103G on the electrode 551G is processed into a predetermined shape. For example, a sacrificial layer 110G is formed on the EL layer 103G, and photolithography is applied on top of it. A resist is formed into the desired shape using the method, and a sacrificial layer is formed that is not covered by the resulting resist mask. After removing a portion of 110G by etching and removing the resist mask, the sacrificial layer 110 A portion of the EL layer 103G that is not covered by G is removed by etching, and the EL on electrode 551B is removed. The EL layer 103G on layer 103G and electrode 551R is removed by etching, and the side A shape having (or with its sides exposed), or a strip-like shape extending in a direction intersecting the paper surface. , and process. Specifically, a pattern is formed on the EL layer 103G which overlaps with the electrode 551G. Dry etching is performed using sacrificial layer 110G. Note that sacrificial layer 110G is the first of the above In the case of a laminated structure with a sacrificial layer and a second sacrificial layer, the second is determined by a resist mask. After etching a portion of the sacrificial layer, the resist mask is removed, and the second sacrificial layer is used as the mask. Alternatively, a portion of the first sacrificial layer may be etched, and the EL layer 103G may be processed into a predetermined shape. Furthermore, bulkhead 528 can be used as an etching stopper.

[0305] Next, as shown in Figure 5(B), a sacrificial layer 110B is formed on the electron transport layer 108B, and With the sacrificial layer 110G formed on the electron transport layer 108G, sacrificial layer 110B, sacrificial layer 11 0G, electrode 551R, and EL layer 103R (hole injection / transport layer 104) on partition wall 528 A layer is formed which includes R, an emissive layer, and an electron transport layer 108R. For example, by using a vacuum deposition method. These are placed on the sacrificial layer 110B, sacrificial layer 110G, electrode 551R, and partition wall 528. An EL layer 103R is formed to cover it.

[0306] Next, as shown in Figure 5(C), the EL layer 103R on the electrode 551R is processed into a predetermined shape. For example, a sacrificial layer 110R is formed on the EL layer 103R, and photolithography is applied on top of it. A resist is formed into the desired shape using the method, and a sacrificial layer is formed that is not covered by the resulting resist mask. After removing a portion of 110R by etching and removing the resist mask, the sacrificial layer 110 A portion of the EL layer 103R that is not covered by R is removed by etching, and the EL on electrode 551B is removed. The EL layer 103R on layer 103R and electrode 551G is removed by etching, and the side A shape having (or with its sides exposed), or a strip-like shape extending in a direction intersecting the paper surface. , and is processed as follows. Specifically, a pattern is formed on the EL layer 103R that overlaps with the electrode 551R. Dry etching is performed using sacrificial layer 110R. Note that sacrificial layer 110R is the first of the above In the case of a laminated structure with a sacrificial layer and a second sacrificial layer, the second is determined by a resist mask. After etching a portion of the sacrificial layer, the resist mask is removed, and the second sacrificial layer is used as the mask. Alternatively, a portion of the first sacrificial layer may be etched, and the EL layer 103R may be processed into a predetermined shape. Furthermore, bulkhead 528 can be used as an etching stopper.

[0307] Next, the sacrificial layer (110B, 110G, 110R), EL layer (103B, 103G, 103 R), and an insulating layer 107 is formed on the partition wall 528. For example, using the ALD method, Layers (110B, 110G, 110R), EL layer (103B, 103G, 103R), and An insulating layer 107 is formed on the partition wall 528 to cover them. 7 is in contact with the side surface of each EL layer (103B, 103G, 103R) as shown in Figure 5(C). This is how it is formed. As a result, the inside of each EL layer (103B, 103G, 103R) is formed from the sides. This can suppress the intrusion of oxygen, moisture, or their constituent elements into the material. Examples of materials used for the insulating layer 107 include aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, and acid Hafnium oxide, gallium oxide, indium gallium zinc oxide, silicon nitride, or nitrogen Silicon oxide and the like can be used.

[0308] Next, as shown in Figure 6(A), the sacrificial layer (110B, 110G, 110R) and the insulating layer By removing a portion of 107, the insulating layer (107B, 107G, 107R) and the electron transport layer ( An electron injection layer 109 is formed on 108B, 108G, and 108R. The electron injection layer 109 is For example, it is formed using a vacuum deposition method. Note that the electron injection layer 109 is an insulating layer (107B Some layers of each EL layer (103B, 103G, 103R) via 107G, 107R (Hole injection / transport layer (104R, 104G, 104B), light-emitting layer, and electron transport layer ( It includes 108B, 108G, and 108R. It has a structure located on the side of ).

[0309] Next, as shown in Figure 6(B), the electrode 552 is formed. The electrode 552 is formed, for example, by vacuum vapor It is formed using a deposition method. The electrode 552 is formed on the electron injection layer 109. Electrode 552 is connected via electron injection layer 109 and insulating layers (107B, 107G, 107R) and some layers of each EL layer (103B, 103G, 103R) (hole injection / transport layer (104) R, 10⁴G, 10⁴B), light-emitting layer, and electron transport layer (10⁸B, 10⁸G, 10⁸R) It includes a structure located on the side (or end) of the EL layer (1 03B, 103G, 103R) and electrode 552, more specifically, each EL layer (103B, 1 03G, 103R) each have a hole injection / transport layer (104B, 104G, 104 This prevents electrical short circuits between R) and electrode 552.

It is possible to fabricate a light-emitting device (display panel). Furthermore, using the photolithography method... The edges (sides) of the EL layer processed by pattern formation have substantially the same surface (and These shapes are located roughly on the same plane.

[0312] In the EL layer, the hole injection layer is particularly included in the hole transport region located between the anode and the light-emitting layer. Because it often has high conductivity, it is formed as a common layer for adjacent light-emitting devices. This can sometimes cause crosstalk. Therefore, as shown in this example configuration, phototri By separating the EL layer using pattern formation with the sography method, adjacent emission This makes it possible to suppress the occurrence of crosstalk between optical devices.

[0313] <Example 2 of the configuration of the light-emitting device 700> The light-emitting device 700 shown in Figure 7 consists of light-emitting device 550B, light-emitting device 550G, and light-emitting device It has a chair 550R and a partition wall 528.

It takes on the shape of (doing so).

[0319] In the EL layer, the hole injection layer is particularly included in the hole transport region located between the anode and the light-emitting layer. Because it often has high conductivity, it is formed as a common layer for adjacent light-emitting devices. This can sometimes cause crosstalk.

[0332] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8(A), the insulating layer 107 is located on a portion of the EL layer 103Q on the electrode 551R. A sacrifice formed on the layer (in this embodiment, up to the electron transport layer 108Q on the light-emitting layer) It is formed while leaving the sacrificial layer intact. Therefore, the insulating layer 107 is a part of the EL layer 103Q. (Above) Formed in contact with the side (or end) of the EL layer 103P and the charge generation layer 106R This is achieved. As a result, the EL layer 103P, EL layer 103Q, and charge generation layer 106R, It inhibits the intrusion of oxygen, moisture, or their constituent elements into the interior from each side.

Also, between electrode 551R and electrode 552, there is an EL layer. It has 103P, an EL layer 103Q, and a charge generation layer 106R. Therefore, electron injection The inlet layer 109, via the insulating layer 107, connects to the EL layer 103Q, the EL layer 103P, and the charge generation A structure located on the side (or edge) of layer 106R, or electrode 552, is located in the electron injection layer 10 9 and the EL layer 103Q, EL layer 103P, and charge generation layer 10 via the insulating layer 107 It has a structure located on the side (or end) of 6R.

Also, the charge generation layer 106R and the electrode 552. This prevents electrical short circuits.

[0335] Furthermore, each light-emitting device has an EL layer (103P, 103Q) and a charge generation layer (1 When separating and processing 06B, 106G, and 106R) according to the light-emitting device, a photolithograph is used. To perform pattern formation using the i method, the edges (sides) of the processed EL layer are approximately on the same surface. The resulting shape has (or is located on approximately the same plane as) the following.

[0336] Each light-emitting device has an EL layer (103P, 103Q) and a charge generation layer ( 106B, 106G, and 106R each have a gap of 58 between them and adjacent light-emitting devices. It has 0. Hole injection layer included in the hole transport region in the EL layer (103P, 103Q) Furthermore, the charge generation layers (106B, 106G, 106R) often have high conductivity, When formed as a common layer between adjacent light-emitting devices, it can cause crosstalk. Therefore, by providing a gap 580 as shown in this example configuration, adjacent This makes it possible to suppress the occurrence of crosstalk between optical devices.

[0337] In a high-resolution light-emitting device (display panel) with a resolution exceeding 1000 ppi, the EL layer 103B, E If electrical conductivity is detected between the L layer 103G and the EL layer 103R, cross-conduction occurs. This phenomenon occurs, narrowing the color gamut that the light-emitting device can display. A high-resolution display panel, preferably a high-resolution display panel with a resolution exceeding 2000 ppi, more preferably Mashiku achieves a vivid display by incorporating a 580-degree gap into an ultra-high-definition display panel with over 5000 ppi. It can provide a display panel capable of displaying vibrant colors.

[0338] In this configuration example, the light-emitting device 550B, the light-emitting device 550G, and the light-emitting device All 550R emits white light. In this specification, etc., emitting white light A light-emitting device capable of this is sometimes called a white light-emitting device. By combining it with a color layer (for example, a color filter), a full-color display device can be used. Therefore, the second substrate 770 has a colored layer CFB and a colored layer C It has FG and a colored layer CFR. These colored layers are as shown in Figure 8(A). It is acceptable to overlap some of the layers. By overlapping some of the layers, the overlapping portion can function as a light-shielding film. It is also possible to do so. In this example configuration, for example, the colored layer CFB preferentially receives blue light (B). Using a transmissive material, the colored layer CFG uses a material that preferentially transmits green light (G). The colored CFR layer uses a material that preferentially transmits red light (R).

[0339] Figure 8(B) shows light-emitting devices 550B, 550G, and 55 When 0R (collectively referred to as light-emitting device 550 in the diagram) is a white light-emitting device, The configuration of the light-emitting device 550B is shown. EL layer 103P and EL layer are placed on electrode 551B. 103Q is stacked with the charge generation layer 106B in between.

[0340] Alternatively, a color conversion layer can be used instead of the above-mentioned colored layer. For example, nanoparticles, quantum particles A color conversion layer can be used for other materials such as stencils.

[0341] For example, instead of a colored layer CFG, a color conversion layer that converts blue light to green light can be used. Yes, it is possible. This allows the blue light emitted by the 550G light-emitting device to be converted into green light. This can be done. In addition, by replacing the colored layer CFR with a color conversion layer that converts blue light into red light, This allows the blue light emitted by the light-emitting device 550R to be converted into red light. It can be exchanged.

[0342] Furthermore, when comparing the light-emitting device with the above-mentioned SBS structure with a white light-emitting device, SB S-structured light-emitting devices can consume less power than white light-emitting devices. If you want to keep power consumption low, it is preferable to use an SBS structure light-emitting device. White light-emitting devices are easier to manufacture than light-emitting devices with an SBS structure. This allows for lower manufacturing costs or higher manufacturing yields. It is suitable.

The functional layer 520 contains multiple transistors In addition to the drive circuits GD and SD, which are composed of these components, the wiring that electrically connects them is also included. These are included. Note that these drive circuits include, as an example, the light-emitting device 550B, and the light-emitting device The 550G is electrically connected to the light-emitting device 550R and can drive them. Furthermore, the drive circuits GD and SD will be described later in Embodiment 4.

[0344] Furthermore, the light-emitting devices 550B, 550G, and 550R are for implementation purposes. It has the device structure shown in Embodiment 2. In particular, each light-emitting device is as shown in Figure 1(B). This is suitable for cases where the structure includes stacked EL layers 103, a so-called tandem structure.

[0345] The specific configuration of each light-emitting device shown in Figure 9 is as described in Figure 8(A). The 550B, 550G, and 550R light-emitting devices are the same, and all emit white light. It emits light.

[0346] In this example, the light-emitting device is formed on the first substrate 510, with each light-emitting device on top of it. Figure 8(A) shows that the resulting colored layer CFB, colored layer CFG, and colored layer CFR are formed. The configuration of the light-emitting device shown is different.

[0347] That is, an insulating layer 57 is placed on the electrode 552 of each light-emitting device formed on the first substrate 510. It has 3 and has a colored layer CFB, a colored layer CFG, and a colored layer CFR on the insulating layer 573. .

[0348] Furthermore, the colored layer CFB, the colored layer CFG, and the colored layer CFR have an insulating layer 705 on top of them.

For example, silicone oxide Silicon film, silicon nitride film, silicon oxide nitride film, aluminum oxide film, etc., or selected from these. A film containing a laminated material made by stacking multiple layers can be used. It is a dense film and has excellent function in suppressing the diffusion of impurities. Alternatively, oxide semiconductors (for example) (For example, an IGZO film) an aluminum oxide film and IGZO on the aluminum oxide film A layered structure with an O film can be used.

[0352] <Example 2 of a manufacturing method for a light-emitting device> Next, the method for fabricating the light-emitting device shown in Figure 9 will be explained using Figures 10(A) to 11(B). do.

[0353] As shown in Figure 10(A), electrodes (551B, 551) are formed on the first substrate 510. On G, 551R) and partition wall 528 (see Figure 3(B)), EL layer 1 is placed over them. 03P (including hole injection / transport layer 104P), charge generation layer 106, and EL layer 103 Q (including hole injection / transport layer 104Q and electron transport layer 108Q) is formed. Furthermore, E A sacrificial layer 110 is formed on the L layer 103Q. The composition of the sacrificial layer 110 is shown in Figure 4. The explanation is the same as in (A), so it will be omitted.

[0354] Next, as shown in Figure 10(B), a resist is applied to the sacrificial layer 110, and then the electrodes... The resist in the region of the sacrificial layer 110 that is not superimposed on electrode 551B, electrode 551G, and electrode 551R. Remove the sacrificial layer 110 superimposed on electrodes 551B, 551G, and 551R. A resist mask REG is formed so that resist remains in the region. For example, photolithography Using the roughing method, the resist coated on the sacrificial layer 110 is formed into the desired shape. Then, a portion of the sacrificial layer 110 that is not covered by the obtained resist mask REG is etched Remove. Then remove the resist mask REG, leaving the EL layer 103 uncovered by the sacrificial layer. P (including hole injection / transport layer 104P), charge generation layer 106, and EL layer 103Q( A portion of the hole injection / transport layer (including the hole injection / transport layer 104Q and the electron transport layer 108Q) is removed by etching. A shape having sides (or with exposed sides), or extending in a direction intersecting the paper surface. It is processed into a strip shape. Specifically, the EL layer 103Q (hole injection / transport layer 104Q, Using a sacrificial layer 110 patterned on an electron transport layer 108Q, dry etching Perform the operation. (See Figure 10(C)). Note that although not shown in Figure 10(C), in Figure 4(A) As described, the sacrificial layer 110 has a laminated structure with the first sacrificial layer and the second sacrificial layer. If present, after etching a portion of the second sacrificial layer with a resist mask REG, Remove the resist mask REG, and use the second sacrificial layer as a mask to remove a portion of the first sacrificial layer. The EL layer 103Q (including hole injection / transport layer 104Q and electron transport layer 108Q) is selected. ), charge generation layer 106, and EL layer 103P (including hole injection / transport layer 104P) It may be processed into a predetermined shape. Furthermore, bulkhead 528 may be used as an etching stopper. can.

[0355] Next, the sacrificial layer 110, the EL layer (103P, 103Q), and the insulating layer 10 on the partition wall 528 Form 7. For example, using the ALD method, a sacrificial layer 110 and an EL layer (103P, 103Q) are formed. ), and an insulating layer 107 is formed on the partition wall 528 to cover them. The margin layer 107 is in contact with the side surfaces of each EL layer (103P, 103Q) as shown in Figure 10(C). It is formed by... Specifically, the insulating layer 107 is the EL layer 103P (hole injection / transport layer 10 (including 4P), charge generation layer 106, and EL layer 103Q (hole injection / transport layer 104Q) It is also formed on the exposed sides when the electron transport layer (including electron transport layer 108Q) is etched. This prevents oxygen or moisture from entering the interior from the sides of each EL layer (103P, 103Q), Alternatively, the intrusion of these constituent elements can be suppressed. Furthermore, the material used for the insulating layer 107 Examples include aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, hafnium oxide, and galium oxide. Using materials such as indium gallium zinc oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon nitride oxide. This is possible. In addition, the material used for the insulating layer 107 is the same as the material described in Embodiment 2. Pore-transporting materials can be used.

[0356] Next, as shown in Figure 11(A), the sacrificial layer 110 is removed, and the insulating layer 107 and electron vessels are removed. An electron injection layer 109 is formed on the deposition layer 108Q. The electron injection layer 109 is formed, for example, by vacuum deposition. It is formed using the method. The electron injection layer 109 is connected to each EL layer (10) via the insulating layer 107. Some layers of 3P, 103Q (hole injection / transport layer (104P, 104Q), luminescence layer, etc.) and electron transport layers (10⁸P, 10⁸Q) and charge generation layers (10⁶B, 10⁶ It has a structure located on the side of G, 106R).

[0357] Next, electrodes 552 are formed on the electron injection layer 109. The electrodes 552 are formed, for example, by vacuum deposition. It is formed using the electron injection layer 109 and the insulating layer 107. Some layers of each EL layer (103P, 103Q) (hole injection / transport layer (104P, 104Q) ), including an emissive layer and electron transport layers (10⁸P, 10⁸Q). ) and charge generation layer (1 It has a structure located on the side (or end) of 06B, 106G, 106R). Each EL layer (103P, 103Q) and electrode 552, more specifically, each EL layer (103 P and 103Q) each have hole injection / transport layers (104P and 104Q) and electrode 55 This prevents a short circuit between the two.

[0358] Based on the above, the light-emitting device 550B, light-emitting device 550G, and light-emitting device 550 R's EL layer 103P (including hole injection / transport layer 104P), charge generation layer (106B, 1 06G, 106R), and EL layer 103Q (hole injection / transport layer 104Q, electron transport layer (Including 108Q) were separated by pattern formation using a single photolithography method. It can be formed in this way.

[0359] Next, the insulating layer 573, the colored layer CFB, the colored layer CFG, and the colored layer CFR, and the insulating layer 705 Form (see Figure 11(B)).

[0360] For example, a flat film and a dense film are laminated to form an insulating layer 573. Specifically, the coating method is A flat film is formed using chemical vapor deposition (ALD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD). A dense film is deposited onto a flat film using techniques such as layer deposition. This makes it possible to form a high-quality insulating layer 573 with few defects.

[0361] For example, using a color resist, a colored layer CFB, a colored layer CFG, and a colored layer CFR are Form into a specific shape. Note that the colored layer CFR and the colored layer CFB overlap on the partition wall 528. The device is processed in such a way that light emitted from adjacent light-emitting devices does not wrap around it. It can control elephants.

[0362] The insulating layer 705 may use an inorganic material, an organic material, or a composite material of an inorganic material and an organic material. It is possible.

[0363] Furthermore, each light-emitting device has an EL layer (103P, 103Q) and a charge generation layer (1 When separating and processing 06B, 106G, and 106R) according to the light-emitting device, a photolithograph is used. To create a pattern using the I method, a high-resolution light-emitting device (display panel) is to be manufactured. This is possible. In addition, the EL layer processed by pattern formation using photolithography can be processed. The ends (sides) have a shape that is roughly the same surface (or located on roughly the same plane). .

[0364] Furthermore, the hole injection layer included in the hole transport region in the EL layer (103P, 103Q) and The charge generation layers (106B, 106G, 106R) often have high conductivity, so adjacent layers When formed as a common layer in light-emitting devices, it can cause crosstalk. Therefore, as shown in this example, pattern formation using photolithography is achieved. By separating the EL layer, crosstalk between adjacent light-emitting devices is eliminated. This makes it possible to suppress the problem.

[0365] <Example of configuration of light-emitting device 700 5> The light-emitting device (display panel) 700 shown in Figure 12 consists of light-emitting device 550B and light-emitting device 5 It has 50G and a light-emitting device 550R. It also has a light-emitting device 550B, a light-emitting device The chair 550G and the light-emitting device 550R are functional layers provided on the first substrate 510. It is formed on 520. The functional layer 520 contains a drive circuit G composed of multiple transistors. This includes D, the drive circuit SD, and the wiring that electrically connects them. The drive circuit, as an example, includes light-emitting device 550B, light-emitting device 550G, and light-emitting device It is electrically connected to the S550R and can drive them. Also, the drive circuit GD, The drive circuit SD will be described later in Embodiment 4.

[0366] Furthermore, the light-emitting devices 550B, 550G, and 550R are for implementation purposes. It has the device structure shown in Embodiment 2. In particular, each light-emitting device is as shown in Figure 1(B). This is suitable for cases where the structure includes stacked EL layers 103, a so-called tandem structure.

[0367] As shown in Figure 12, between each light-emitting device, for example, between light-emitting device 550B and light-emitting device There is a gap 580 between the 550G and the insulating layer 54. It has a configuration that forms 0.

[0368] For example, by pattern formation using photolithography, the EL layer 103P (Hole Note) The input / transport layer (including 104P), charge generation layer (106B, 106G, 106R), and E The L layer 103Q (including the hole injection / transport layer 104Q and the electron transport layer 108Q) is divided into separate layers. After deformation, an insulating layer 540 is formed in the gap 580 using photolithography. This is possible. Furthermore, EL layer 103Q (hole injection / transport layer 104Q, electron transport layer 108 (including Q) and electrodes 552 can be formed on the insulating layer 540.

[0369] In this configuration, each EL layer is separated by the insulating layer 540, so in Configuration Example 3... The insulating layer shown (insulating layer 107 in Figures 8(A) and 8(B)) is unnecessary.

[0370] Furthermore, each light-emitting device has an EL layer (103P, 103Q) and a charge generation layer (1 When separating and processing 06B, 106G, and 106R) according to the light-emitting device, a photolithograph is used. To create a pattern using the I method, a high-resolution light-emitting device (display panel) is to be manufactured. This is possible. In addition, the EL layer processed by pattern formation using photolithography can be processed. The ends (sides) have a shape that is roughly the same surface (or located on roughly the same plane). .

[0371] Furthermore, the hole injection layer included in the hole transport region in the EL layer (103P, 103Q) and The charge generation layers (106B, 106G, 106R) often have high conductivity, so adjacent layers When formed as a common layer in light-emitting devices, it can cause crosstalk. Therefore, as shown in this example, pattern formation using photolithography is achieved. By separating the EL layer, crosstalk between adjacent light-emitting devices is eliminated. This makes it possible to suppress the problem.

[0372] Furthermore, in this configuration example, adjacent light-emitting devices (light-emitting device 550B, light-emitting device Even if the 550G and light-emitting device 550R are manufactured by the manufacturing method described in Figures 3 to 6, Good. In this case, the EL layer (103P, 103Q) and charge generation layer of each light-emitting device ( Since 106R, 106G, and 106R can be formed separately, the EL layer ( The configurations of 103P and 103Q can be changed. For example, the light-emitting device Using a light-emitting material that emits blue light in the EL layer (103P, 103Q) of 550B, blue light emission The EL layer (103P, 103Q) of the light-emitting device 550G emits green light. Using a light-emitting material that exhibits green light emission, the EL layer (1) of the light-emitting device 550R is formed. Using a luminescent material that exhibits red light emission in 03P and 103Q, the layer also exhibits red light emission. Good. Alternatively, the EL layer (103P) and EL layer (103Q) of the light-emitting device 550B, light emission The EL layer (103P) and EL layer (103Q) of device 550G, and the light-emitting device 550R The EL layer (103P) and the EL layer (103Q) are made of light-emitting materials that exhibit different emission colors. You may use it.
