[0126] The configuration shown in this embodiment can be used in appropriate combination with the configurations shown in other embodiments. This is possible.
[0127] (Embodiment 2) In this embodiment, a light-emitting element, which is one aspect of the present invention, will be described. Note that an organic compound, which is one aspect of the present invention, can be used for the light-emitting element described in this embodiment. This is possible.
[0128] ≪Basic Structure of Light-Emitting Element≫ FIG. 1(A) shows a light-emitting element in which an EL layer is sandwiched between a pair of electrodes. Specifically, it has a structure in which an EL layer 103 including a light-emitting layer is sandwiched between a first electrode 101 and a second electrode 102. This is possible. This is possible.
[0129] FIG. 1(B) shows a light-emitting element having a stacked structure (tandem structure) in which a plurality of (two layers in FIG. 1(B)) EL layers (103a, 103b) are provided between a pair of electrodes and a charge generation layer 104 is sandwiched between the EL layers. Such a light-emitting element having a tandem structure can realize a light-emitting device that can be driven at a low voltage and has low power consumption. This is possible. This is possible. This is possible.
[0130] Note that the charge generation layer 104 has a function of injecting electrons into one EL layer (103a or 103b) and holes into the other EL layer (103b or 103a) when a voltage is applied between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102. Therefore, in FIG. 1(B), when a voltage is applied so that the potential of the first electrode 101 is higher than that of the second electrode 102, electrons are injected from the charge generation layer 104 into the EL layer 103a, and holes are injected into the EL layer 103b. This is possible. This is possible. This is possible. This is possible.
[0131] The charge generation layer 104 has translucency with respect to visible light from the viewpoint of light extraction efficiency. Specifically, Preferably, the visible light transmittance of the charge generation layer 104 is 40% or more. Also, even if the charge generation layer 104 has a lower conductivity than the first electrode 101 or the second electrode 102, it can still function.
[0132] FIG. 1(C) shows the stacked structure of the EL layer 103. In FIG. 1(C), when the first electrode 101 functions as an anode, the EL layer 103 has a structure in which a hole injection layer 111, a hole transport layer 112, a light emitting layer 113, an electron transport layer 114, and an electron injection layer 115 are sequentially stacked on the first electrode 101. Even when there are multiple EL layers as in the tandem structure shown in FIG. 1(B), as shown in FIG. 1(D), each EL layer has a structure in which they are sequentially stacked in the above manner from the anode side. When the first electrode 101 is a cathode and the second electrode 102 is an anode, the stacking order is reversed.
[0133] Regarding the configuration in which multiple EL layers are stacked, as shown in FIG. 1(E), the EL layers may be stacked in three layers (103a, 103b, 103c) via charge generation layers (104a, 104b) respectively. However, the number of stacked layers is not limited to two or three layers, and a configuration in which four or more layers are stacked may also be acceptable. Also, the light emitting layers (113, 113a, 113b, 113c) included in the EL layers (103, 103a, 103b, 103c) each have a light emitting substance and a plurality of substances appropriately combined, and can be configured to obtain fluorescence emission or phosphorescence emission presenting a desired emission color. Also, when there are multiple light emitting layers 113 (113a, 113b, 113c), the emission colors of each light emitting layer may be different. In this case, the light emitting substances and other substances used for each stacked light emitting layer are different from each other. Any material can be used. For example, the light-emitting layer 113a can be blue, the light-emitting layer 113b can be any of red, green, or yellow, and the light-emitting layer 113c can be blue. However, the light-emitting layer 113a can also be red, the light-emitting layer 113b can be any of blue, green, or yellow, and the light-emitting layer 113c can be red. In addition, considering the luminance and color characteristics of multiple emissions, other combinations of emission colors can be appropriately used.
[0134] Moreover, in the light-emitting element which is one aspect of the present invention, a configuration in which the light emitted from the EL layer (103, 103a, 103b) is resonated between both electrodes to enhance the obtained light is also good. For example, in FIG. 1(C), by using the first electrode 101 as a reflective electrode and the second electrode 10 2 as a semi-transmissive / semi-reflective electrode, a microcavity structure can be formed, and the light emitted from the EL layer 103 can be enhanced.
[0135] Note that when the first electrode 101 of the light-emitting element is a reflective electrode composed of a laminated structure of a conductive material having reflectivity and a conductive material having translucency (transparent conductive film), optical adjustment can be performed by controlling the film thickness of the transparent conductive film. Specifically, it is preferable to adjust so that the electrode distance between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 is in the vicinity of mλ / 2 (where m is a natural number) with respect to the wavelength λ of the light obtained from the light-emitting layer 113. (However, m is a natural number).
[0136] In addition, in order to amplify the desired light (wavelength: λ) obtained from the light-emitting layer 113, the optical distance from the first electrode 101 to the region (light-emitting region) where the desired light of the light-emitting layer 113 is obtained, and the optical distance from the second electrode 102 to the region (light-emitting region) where the desired light of the light-emitting layer 113 is obtained , adjust them so that they are each in the vicinity of (2m’ + 1)λ / 4 (where m’ is a natural number). is preferred. Here, the light-emitting region refers to the recombination region of holes and electrons in the light-emitting layer 113.
[0137] By performing such optical adjustment, the spectrum of specific monochromatic light obtained from the light-emitting layer 113 can be narrowed, and light emission with good color purity can be obtained.
[0138] However, in the above case, the optical distance between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 is strictly the total thickness from the reflection region in the first electrode 101 to the reflection region in the second electrode 102. This can be achieved. However, since it is difficult to precisely determine the reflection regions in the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102, it is assumed that any positions of the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 are reflection regions, and the above-described effects can be sufficiently obtained. Also, the optical distance between the first electrode 101 and the light-emitting layer from which the desired light is obtained is strictly the optical distance between the reflection region in the first electrode 101 and the light-emitting region in the light-emitting layer from which the desired light is obtained. However, since it is difficult to precisely determine the reflection region in the first electrode 101 and the light-emitting region in the light-emitting layer from which the desired light is obtained, it is assumed that any position of the first electrode 101 is the reflection region and any position of the light-emitting layer from which the desired light is obtained is the light-emitting region, and the above-described effects can be sufficiently obtained. This can be achieved. However, since it is difficult to precisely determine the reflection region in the first electrode 101 and the light-emitting region in the light-emitting layer from which the desired light is obtained, it is assumed that any position of the first electrode 101 is the reflection region and any position of the light-emitting layer from which the desired light is obtained is the light-emitting region, and the above-described effects can be sufficiently obtained. Since it is difficult to precisely determine the reflection region in the first electrode 101 and the light-emitting region in the light-emitting layer from which the desired light is obtained, by assuming any position of the first electrode 101 as the reflection region and any position of the light-emitting layer from which the desired light is obtained as the light-emitting region, it is assumed that the above-described effects can be sufficiently obtained.
[0139] When the light-emitting element shown in Fig. 1(C) has a microcavity structure, even if the EL layer is common, light (monochromatic light) of different wavelengths can be extracted. Therefore, different emission colors can be obtained. Coloring (e.g., RGB) is not required, enabling high definition. Also, a combination with a coloring layer (color filter) is also possible. Further, since it is possible to enhance the forward emission intensity of a specific wavelength, power consumption can be reduced.
[0140] In the light-emitting element which is one aspect of the present invention described above, at least one of the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 is an electrode having translucency (such as a transparent electrode, a semi-transmissive / semi-reflective electrode, etc.). When the electrode having translucency is a transparent electrode, the transmittance of visible light of the transparent electrode is 40% or more. In the case of a semi-transmissive / semi-reflective electrode, the reflectance of visible light of the semi-transmissive / semi-reflective electrode is 20% or more and 80% or less, preferably 40% or more and 70% or less. Also, these electrodes preferably have a resistivity of 1×10 -2 Ωcm or less.
[0141] In the light-emitting element which is one aspect of the present invention described above, when one of the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 is an electrode having reflectivity (reflective electrode), the reflectance of visible light of the electrode having reflectivity is 40% or more and 100% or less, preferably 70% or more and 100% or less. Also, this electrode preferably has a resistivity of 1×10 -2 Ωcm or less.
[0142] ≪Specific Structure and Fabrication Method of Light-Emitting Element≫ Next, the specific structure and fabrication method of the light-emitting element which is one aspect of the present invention will be described. In FIGS. 1(A) to 1(D), when the reference signs are common, the description will also be common.

[0182] In the light-emitting device shown in FIG. 1(D), an electron transport layer 114a is formed on the light-emitting layer 113a of the EL layer 103a. Further, after the EL layer 103a and the charge generation layer 104 are formed, an electron transport layer 114b is formed on the light-emitting layer 113b of the EL layer 103b.

[0291] Next, a hole transport layer 912 was formed on the hole injection layer 911. The hole transport layer 912 was formed by evaporation using 4,4 '-diphenyl-4''-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)triphenyl lamine (abbreviation: PCBBi1BP) to have a film thickness of 20 nm. formed by evaporation to have a film thickness of 20 nm.
[0292] Next, a light-emitting layer 913 was formed on the hole transport layer 912.
[0293] In the case of the light-emitting element 1, the light-emitting layer 913 used, as a host material, an organic compound which is an aspect of the present invention, 13mDBtPBfdbq, and as an assist material, PCBBiF, and as a guest material ( phosphorescent material), bis[4,6-dimethyl-2-(2-quinolinyl-κN)phenyl- κC](2,4-pentanedionato-κ O,O')iridium(III) (abbreviation: [I 2 r(dmpqn)2(acac)]), and was co-evaporated so that the weight ratio was 13mDBtPBfdbq:PC BBiF:[Ir(dmpqn)2(acac)] = 0.75:0.25:0.1. The film thickness was 40 nm. BBiF:[Ir(dmpqn)2(acac)] = 0.75:0.25:0.1. formed by co-evaporation. The film thickness was 40 nm.
[0294] In the case of the comparative light-emitting element 2, the light-emitting layer 913 used, as a host material, 2mDBTBPDBq-I I, and as an assist material, PCBBiF, and as a guest material (phosphorescent material), [Ir(d mpqn)2(acac)], and was co-evaporated so that the weight ratio was 2mDBTBPDBq-II:PCBBi F:[Ir(dmpqn)2(acac)] = 0.75:0.25:0.1. formed by co-evaporation. The film thickness was 40 nm.
[0295] Next, an electron transport layer 914 was formed on the light-emitting layer 913. The electron transport layer 914 is 9-[3- (4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)phenyl]-9'-phenyl carbazole (abbreviation: mPCCzPTzn-02) with a film thickness of 3 0 nm and 2,9-bis(naphthalen-2-yl)-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phen anthroline (abbreviation: NBphen) were sequentially deposited so that the film thickness became 15 nm to form it.
[0296] Next, an electron injection layer 915 was formed on the electron transport layer 914. The electron injection layer 915 was formed by depositing lithium fluoride (LiF) so that the film thickness became 1 nm.
[0297] Next, a second electrode 903 was formed on the electron injection layer 915. The second electrode 903 was formed of aluminum by vapor deposition so that the film thickness became 200 nm. In this example, the second electrode 903 functions as a cathode.
[0298] Through the above steps, a light-emitting element in which an EL layer is sandwiched between a pair of electrodes was formed on the substrate 900. Note that the hole injection layer 911, the hole transport layer 912, the light-emitting layer 913, the electron transport layer 914, and the electron injection layer 915 described in the above steps are functional layers constituting the EL layer in one aspect of the present invention. Also, in the vapor deposition process in the manufacturing method described above, all vapor deposition methods using the resistance heating method were used.
[0299] Also, the light-emitting element manufactured as described above is sealed with another substrate (not shown). Note that when sealing with another substrate (not shown), it is performed in a glove box under a nitrogen atmosphere. Next, another substrate (not shown) coated with a sealant that cures by ultraviolet light was placed on substrate 900. The substrates were fixed such that the sealant adhered to the periphery of the light-emitting element formed on substrate 900. At the time of sealing, ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 365 nm was irradiated at 6 J / cm². 2 to cure the sealant, and the sealant was stabilized by heat treatment at 80 °C for 1 hour.
[0300] ≪Operating Characteristics of Light-Emitting Element≫ The operating characteristics of each fabricated light-emitting element were measured. The measurements were performed at room temperature (in an atmosphere maintained at 25 °C). The results are shown in FIGS. 11 to 14.
[0301] The following Table 2 shows the main initial characteristic values of each light-emitting element near 1000 cd / m². 2
[0302]
Table 2
[0303] In the above results, it can be seen that the light-emitting element 1 fabricated in this example exhibits better current-voltage characteristics than the comparative light-emitting element 2. This is because 13mDBtPBfdbq, which is one aspect of the present invention used in the light-emitting layer of the light-emitting element 1, has a deep LUMO level due to its structure fused with a five-membered ring having oxygen. Based on the results of cyclic voltammetry (CV) reduction potential measurements, the LUMO level of 2mDBTBPDBq-II was -2.94 eV, whereas the LUMO level of 13mDBtPBfdbq was -3.17 eV.
[0304] Also, a current was passed through the light-emitting element 1 and the comparative light-emitting element 2 at a current density of 2.5 mA / cm². 2 The actual emission spectrum is shown in Fig. 15. As shown in Fig. 15, the emission spectra of the light-emitting element 1 and the comparative light-emitting element 2 have peaks around 628 nm, both of which are derived from the emission of the organometallic complex, [Ir(dmpqn)2(acac)], contained in the light-emitting layer 913. This is thus suggested.
[0305] Next, reliability tests were conducted on the light-emitting element 1 and the comparative light-emitting element 2. The results of the reliability test are shown in Fig. 16. In Fig. 16, the vertical axis indicates the normalized luminance (%) when the initial luminance is 100%, and the horizontal axis indicates the driving time (h) of the element. The reliability test was carried out with the current density set at 75 m A / cm 2 to drive the light-emitting element.
[0306] From the results of the reliability test, it was found that the light-emitting element 1 exhibits higher reliability than the comparative light-emitting element 2. This can be regarded as an effect of using the organic compound, 13mDBtPBfdbq (structural formula (100)), which is one aspect of the present invention, in the light-emitting layer of the light-emitting element 1. That is, 13mDBtPBfdbq has a structure in which the 2-position and 3-position of the dibenzoquinoxaline skeleton are condensation positions and are condensed with a five-membered ring having oxygen, so, unlike 2mDBTBPDBq-II (structural formula (200)), the substituted phenylene group at the 2-position of the dibenzoquinoxaline skeleton does not twist due to steric repulsion with the hydrogen at the 3-position, and has the characteristic of improving the firmness and stability of the molecule. In Table 2, the fact that the light-emitting element 1 showed better current-voltage characteristics than the comparative light-emitting element 2 suggests that the element structure has a narrow carrier recombination region in the light-emitting layer and is prone to local deterioration. However, as shown in Fig. 16, it was possible to improve the reliability, which is one aspect of the present invention. In a certain organic compound, in addition to having the characteristic of small steric hindrance, it can be understood that it has good fastness and stability. That is, in one aspect of the present invention a certain organic compound can be said to be a material that overcomes the trade-off phenomenon, which is often seen in light-emitting elements, that the reliability decreases as the driving voltage decreases.
[0307] Furthermore, the organic compound 13mDBtPBfdbq, which is one aspect of the present invention, not only improves the reliability by having the above-described molecular structure, but also minimizes the decrease in the T1 level, which becomes a problem when forming a polycyclic condensed molecular structure, by having a structure condensed with a five-membered ring having oxygen. Specifically, when the T1 level was determined to correspond to the short-wavelength side peak of the phosphorescence spectrum observed at the liquid nitrogen temperature (77K), the T1 level of 2mDBTBPDB q-II was 515 nm, while the T1 level of 13mDBtPBfdbq was suppressed to 538 nm, a red-shift of approximately 20 nm. Therefore, using the organic compound 13mDBtPBfdbq (structural formula (100)), which is one aspect of the present invention, in the EL layer of a light-emitting element is useful not only for improving the reliability of the light-emitting element but also for maintaining the T1 level to some extent.
