[0084] Examples of the organic light-emitting device include an organic photoluminescence device (organic PL device), an organic electroluminescence device (organic EL device), and the like. The organic light-emitting device is preferably an organic EL device.

[0085] The organic EL device preferably has an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer formed between the anode and the cathode.

[0086] The organic layer preferably contains at least a light-emitting layer, and may consist only of the light-emitting layer, or may contain one or more other organic layers in addition to the light-emitting layer. Examples of the other organic layers include an injection layer (e.g., a hole injection layer, an electron injection layer), a blocking layer (e.g., an electron blocking layer, a hole blocking layer, an exciton blocking layer), a transport layer (e.g., a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer), and the like. The hole transport layer may be a hole injection transport layer having a hole injection function, and the electron transport layer may be an electron injection transport layer having an electron injection function.

[0087] The organic EL element may be of a bottom emission type that extracts the light generated in the light emitting layer from the substrate side, or may be of a top emission type that extracts the light generated in the light emitting layer from the side opposite to the substrate. In either type, the electrode formed on the substrate side may be an anode or a cathode. The electrode on the side where the light is extracted is preferably transparent, and the electrode on the opposite side may or may not be transparent.

[0088] The organic EL element is preferably supported by a substrate. There are no particular restrictions on the substrate, and any substrate that has been conventionally used for organic EL elements may be used. For example, substrates made of glass, transparent plastic, quartz, silicon, etc. can be used.

[0089] As the anode in the organic EL element, those using metals, alloys, electrically conductive compounds, and mixtures thereof having a large work function (e.g., 4 eV or more) as electrode materials are preferably used. Specific examples of such electrode materials include metals such as Au, and transparent conductive materials such as CuI, indium tin oxide (ITO), SnO2, and ZnO. Also, materials capable of forming an amorphous and transparent conductive film such as IDIXO (In2O3-ZnO) may be used. The anode may form a thin film by a method such as vapor deposition or sputtering of the electrode material and form a pattern of a desired shape by photolithography, or may form a pattern through a mask of a desired shape during vapor deposition or sputtering of the electrode material. Alternatively, when a material that can be applied such as an organic conductive compound is used, wet film formation methods such as printing or coating can also be used. When extracting light from the anode, it is desirable to make the transmittance greater than 10%, and the sheet resistance as the anode is preferably several hundred Ω / sq or less. The film thickness of the anode varies depending on the material, but is usually selected in the range of 10 to 1000 nm, preferably 10 to 200 nm.

[0090] As the cathode, those using a metal (electron-injecting metal), alloy, electrically conductive compound, or a mixture thereof with a small work function (e.g., 4 eV or less) as the electrode material are preferably used. Specific examples of such electrode materials include sodium, sodium-potassium alloy, magnesium, lithium, magnesium / copper mixture, magnesium / silver mixture, magnesium / aluminum mixture, magnesium / indium mixture, aluminum / aluminum oxide (Al2O3) mixture, lithium / aluminum mixture, aluminum, etc. The cathode can be fabricated by forming a thin film of the electrode material by methods such as evaporation or sputtering. Also, the sheet resistance as the cathode is preferably several hundred Ω / sq or less. The film thickness of the cathode is usually selected in the range of 10 nm to 5 μm, preferably 50 to 200 nm. Note that it is preferable if either the anode or the cathode of the organic EL element is transparent or semi-transparent in order to improve the emission luminance. Also, a transparent or semi-transparent cathode can be fabricated by using the transparent conductive material mentioned in the description of the anode for the cathode, and an element in which both the anode and the cathode have permeability can be fabricated.

[0091] The light-emitting layer is preferably a layer that emits light (e.g., fluorescence, delayed fluorescence, or both) after excitons are generated by the recombination of holes and electrons injected from the anode and the cathode, respectively. The light-emitting layer may be a layer containing a light-emitting material alone, but is preferably a layer containing a light-emitting material and a host material. As the light-emitting material, the compound (one or more) of the present invention can be used. The host material is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use an organic compound in which at least one of the singlet excitation energy and the triplet excitation energy has a higher value than the compound of the present invention. Also, the host material is preferably an organic compound having hole-transporting ability, electron-transporting ability, preventing the emission wavelength from shifting to a longer wavelength, and having a high glass transition temperature.

[0092] Furthermore, when a compound exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is included in a light-emitting layer containing a host material and a light-emitting material as a third component (assist dopant compound), it is effective for achieving high luminous efficiency (H. Nakanotani, et al., Nature Communicaion, 2014, 5, 4016 - 4022). By generating 25% singlet excitons and 75% triplet excitons on the assist dopant compound by electric field excitation, the triplet excitons can generate singlet excitons with reverse intersystem crossing (RISC). The energy of the singlet excitons is transferred to the light-emitting material, enabling the light-emitting material to emit light. Therefore, theoretically, it is possible to cause the light-emitting material to emit light using 100% of the exciton energy, resulting in high luminous efficiency.

[0093] The content of the compound of the present invention in the light-emitting layer is preferably 0.1% by mass or more, more preferably 1% by mass or more, and preferably 50% by mass or less, more preferably 20% by mass or less, and even more preferably 10% by mass or less.

The injection layer may be provided between the anode and the light-emitting layer or the hole transport layer, and between the cathode and the light-emitting layer or the electron transport layer.

[0095] The blocking layer is preferably a layer that can prevent the diffusion of charges (electrons or holes) and / or excitons present in the light-emitting layer outside the light-emitting layer. The electron blocking layer can be disposed between the light-emitting layer and the hole transport layer and can prevent electrons from passing through the light-emitting layer toward the hole transport layer. Similarly, the hole blocking layer can be disposed between the light-emitting layer and the electron transport layer and can prevent holes from passing through the light-emitting layer toward the electron transport layer. The electron blocking layer and the hole blocking layer can each also serve as an exciton blocking layer. The electron blocking layer or exciton blocking layer as used herein is used in the sense of including a layer having the functions of an electron blocking layer and an exciton blocking layer in one layer.

[0096] The hole-blocking layer has the function of an electron transport layer in a broad sense. The hole-blocking layer plays a role in transporting electrons while preventing holes from reaching the electron transport layer, thereby improving the recombination probability of electrons and holes in the light-emitting layer. As the material of the hole-blocking layer, the materials of the electron transport layer described later can be used as needed.

[0097] The electron-blocking layer has the function of transporting holes in a broad sense. The electron-blocking layer plays a role in transporting holes while preventing electrons from reaching the hole transport layer, thereby improving the probability of recombination of electrons and holes in the light-emitting layer.

[0098] The exciton-blocking layer is preferably a layer for preventing excitons generated by the recombination of holes and electrons in the light-emitting layer from diffusing into the charge transport layer. By inserting the exciton-blocking layer, it becomes possible to efficiently confine excitons within the light-emitting layer, thereby improving the light-emitting efficiency of the device. The exciton-blocking layer can be inserted on either the anode side or the cathode side adjacent to the light-emitting layer, and it is also possible to insert both simultaneously. That is, when the exciton-blocking layer is on the anode side, it can be inserted adjacent to the light-emitting layer between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer. When inserted on the cathode side, it can be inserted adjacent to the light-emitting layer between the light-emitting layer and the cathode. Also, between the anode and the exciton-blocking layer adjacent to the anode side of the light-emitting layer, a hole injection layer, an electron-blocking layer, etc. can be provided. Between the cathode and the exciton-blocking layer adjacent to the cathode side of the light-emitting layer, an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, a hole-blocking layer, etc. can be provided. When arranging the blocking layer, at least one of the singlet excitation energy and the triplet excitation energy of the material used as the blocking layer is preferably higher than the singlet excitation energy and the triplet excitation energy of the light-emitting material.

[0099] The hole transport layer preferably consists of a hole transport material having the function of transporting holes, and the hole transport layer can be provided as a single layer or multiple layers. As the hole transport material, those having any one of hole injection or transport and electron barrier properties are preferable, and it may be either an organic or inorganic material. Examples of hole transport materials that can be used include triazole derivatives, oxadiazole derivatives, imidazole derivatives, carbazole derivatives, indolocarbazole derivatives, polyarylalkane derivatives, pyrazoline derivatives and pyrazolone derivatives, phenylenediamine derivatives, arylamine derivatives, amino-substituted chalcone derivatives, oxazole derivatives, styrylanthracene derivatives, fluorenone derivatives, hydrazone derivatives, stilbene derivatives, silazane derivatives, aniline-based copolymers, and conductive polymer oligomers, particularly thiophene oligomers. As the hole transport material, it is preferable to use porphyrin compounds, aromatic tertiary amine compounds, and styrylamine compounds, and it is more preferable to use aromatic tertiary amine compounds. In addition, inorganic semiconductors such as molybdenum oxide can also be used as the hole transport material.

[0100] The electron transport layer preferably consists of a material having the function of transporting electrons, and the electron transport layer can be provided as a single layer or multiple layers. The electron transport material (which may also serve as a hole blocking material) preferably has the function of transmitting electrons injected from the cathode to the light-emitting layer. Examples of electron transport layers that can be used include nitro-substituted fluorene derivatives, diphenylquinone derivatives, thiopyran dioxide derivatives, carbodiimide, fluorenylidene methane derivatives, anthraquinodimethane and anthrone derivatives, oxadiazole derivatives, etc. Furthermore, in the above oxadiazole derivatives, thiadiazole derivatives in which the oxygen atom of the oxadiazole ring is replaced with a sulfur atom, and quinoxaline derivatives having a quinoxaline ring known as an electron-withdrawing group can also be used as electron transport materials. Furthermore, polymer materials in which these materials are introduced into the polymer chain or these materials are used as the main chain of the polymer can also be used. In addition, inorganic semiconductors such as zinc oxide can also be used as electron transport materials.

[0101] When manufacturing an organic EL element, the compound of the present invention may be used not only in the light-emitting layer but also in layers other than the light-emitting layer. In that case, the compound of the present invention used in the light-emitting layer and the compound of the present invention used in layers other than the light-emitting layer may be the same or different. For example, the compound of the present invention may also be used in the above-described injection layer, blocking layer (e.g., hole blocking layer, electron blocking layer, exciton blocking layer), hole transport layer, electron transport layer, and the like.

[0102] The film formation method for these layers is not particularly limited, and either a dry process or a wet process may be used.

[0103] Preferred materials that can be used in the organic electroluminescence element are specifically exemplified below. However, the materials that can be used in the present invention should not be construed as being limited by the following exemplified compounds. Also, even a compound exemplified as a material having a specific function can be diverted as a material having other functions.

X represents a carbon atom or a heteroatom forming a ring skeleton, n represents an integer of 3 to 5, Y represents a substituent, and m represents an integer of 0 or more.

[0104] Preferred compounds that can also be used as the host material of the light-emitting layer are listed. In order to match the HOMO / LUMO levels of the light-emitting material to be used, the HOMO / LUMO levels of the host material can be adjusted by appropriately introducing substituents into the basic skeleton of the following exemplified compounds. For example, by introducing a cyano group or a perfluoroalkyl group into the basic skeleton of the following exemplified compounds, a compound with deeper HOMO / LUMO levels can be obtained, and this can be used as the host material and peripheral compounds. The host material may be bipolar (good at flowing both holes and electrons) or unipolar, and preferably has an excited triplet energy level E T1 higher than that of the light-emitting material. A more preferred host material has bipolarity and an excited triplet energy level E T1is high.
