[0091] As described above, an example of the organic compound, which is one aspect of the present invention, and its synthesis method has been described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it may be synthesized using other synthesis methods.

[0092] The configuration shown in this embodiment can be used in appropriate combination with the configuration shown in other embodiments.

[0093] (Embodiment 2) In this embodiment, with reference to FIG. 1, a light-emitting device using the organic compound shown in Embodiment 1 will be described. I will explain this in more detail.

[0094] <Basic structure of light-emitting element> First, the basic structure of a light-emitting element will be described. Specifically, the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 are disposed in a region between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102. It has a structure in which an EL layer 103 is sandwiched between an electrode 102 .

[0095] In addition, in FIG. 1B, a plurality of EL layers (two layers in FIG. 1B) are disposed between a pair of electrodes. a, 103b), and a stacked structure (tandem structure) having a charge generating layer 104 between the EL layers. A light-emitting element having a tandem structure can be driven at a low voltage and consumes little power. It is possible to realize a low-energy light-emitting device.

[0096] When a voltage is applied between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102, the charge generating layer 104 Electrons are injected into one EL layer (103a or 103b) and the other EL layer (103b or 1B, the first electrode 1 When a voltage is applied to the charge generating layer 101 so that the potential of the charge generating layer 101 becomes higher than that of the second electrode 102, Electrons are injected from the electrode 4 into the EL layer 103a, and holes are injected into the EL layer 103b. .

[0097] The charge generating layer 104 is transparent to visible light from the viewpoint of light extraction efficiency. (Specifically, it is preferable that the transmittance of visible light through the charge generating layer 104 is 40% or more.) In addition, the charge generating layer 104 has a lower conductivity than the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102. But it still works.

[0098] In addition, Fig. 1(C) shows an example of the case where the EL layer 103 (the EL layers (103 a, 103b) shown in Fig. 1(A)) has a stacked structure. . However, in this case, it is assumed that 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. Also, when having a plurality of EL layers as in the tandem structure shown in Fig. 1(B), each EL layer has a structure that is sequentially stacked from the anode side as described above. Further, when the first electrode 101 is a cathode and the second electrode 102 is an anode, the stacking order of the EL layers is reversed.

[0099] The light-emitting layer 113 included in the EL layers (103, 103a, 103b) has, respectively, a light-emitting substance and a plurality of substances appropriately combined to obtain fluorescence emission or phosphorescence emission presenting a desired emission color . Also, the light-emitting layer 113 may have a stacked structure with different emission colors. . In this case, the light-emitting substance and other substances used for each stacked light-emitting layer may be different materials. Further, from the plurality of EL layers (103a, 103b) shown in Fig. 1(B), a configuration in which different emission colors can be obtained may be adopted. Also in this case, the light-emitting substance and other substances used for each light-emitting layer may be different materials.

[0100] In addition, in the light-emitting element which is one aspect of the present invention, a configuration may be adopted in which the light emission obtained from the EL layers (103, 103a, 103b) is resonated between both electrodes to enhance the obtained light emission. For example, in Fig. 1(C), the first electrode 101 is a reflective electrode, and the second electrode 10 By using 2 as a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective electrode, a microcavity structure can be formed, and the light emission obtained from the EL layer 103 can be enhanced. It is possible to enhance the light emission obtained from the EL layer 103.

[0101] 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. 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, by controlling the film thickness of the transparent conductive film, optical adjustment can be performed. Specifically, with respect to the wavelength λ of the light obtained from the light-emitting layer 113, the electrode distance between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 is adjusted to be in the vicinity of mλ / 2 (where m is a natural number). Specifically, with respect to the wavelength λ of the light obtained from the light-emitting layer 113, the electrode distance between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 is adjusted to be in the vicinity of mλ / 2 (where m is a natural number). (However, m is a natural number).

[0102] 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 are each adjusted to be in the vicinity of (2m'+1)λ / 4 (where m' is a natural number). electrode 102 to the region (light-emitting region) where the desired light of the light-emitting layer 113 is obtained are each adjusted to be in the vicinity of (2m'+1)λ / 4 (where m' is a natural number). It is preferable to adjust so that they are each in the vicinity of (2m'+1)λ / 4 (where m' is a natural number). Here, the light-emitting region refers to the recombination region of holes and electrons in the light-emitting layer 113. electrons in the light-emitting layer 113.

[0103] By performing such optical adjustment, the spectrum of a specific monochromatic light obtained from the light-emitting layer 113 can be narrowed, and light emission with good color purity can be obtained. By performing such optical adjustment, the spectrum of a specific monochromatic light obtained from the light-emitting layer 113 can be narrowed, and light emission with good color purity can be obtained.

[0104] 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. It can be. However, the reflection regions in the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 are strictly Since it is difficult to determine the position of the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102, It is assumed that the above-mentioned effect can be obtained by assuming the ray domain. The optical distance between the electrode 101 and the light-emitting layer from which the desired light is obtained is, strictly speaking, 101 / 100 . The optical distance between the reflection area in the light emitting layer and the light emitting area in the light emitting layer from which the desired light is obtained is called the optical distance. However, it is possible to change the reflecting area of the first electrode 101 and the emitting area that can obtain the desired light. Since it is difficult to precisely determine the light-emitting region in the optical layer, the first electrode 101 may be arbitrarily selected. The position of the light source is assumed to be the reflection region, and any position on the light-emitting layer where the desired light is obtained is assumed to be the light-emitting region. It is assumed that the above-mentioned effects can be sufficiently obtained.

[0105] When the light-emitting element shown in FIG. 1C has a microcavity structure, the EL layer is common. Therefore, it is possible to obtain different emission colors. This eliminates the need for separate coloring (e.g., RGB) for the color layers, enabling high definition. It is also possible to combine it with a color filter. The emission intensity of a specific wavelength in the front direction is Since it is possible to strengthen the signal strength, it is possible to reduce power consumption.

[0106] The light-emitting element shown in FIG. 1E is an example of the light-emitting element having the tandem structure shown in FIG. 1B. As shown in the figure, three EL layers (103a, 103b, 103c) are disposed on the charge generating layer (10 The three EL layers (103a, 104a, 104b) are sandwiched between the EL layers. Each of the light-emitting layers (113a, 113b, 113c) has a light-emitting layer (113a, 113b, 113c). Therefore, the emission colors of the light emitting layers can be freely combined. The light-emitting layer 113b can be red, green, or yellow, and the light-emitting layer 113c can be blue. However, the light-emitting layer 113a can be red, the light-emitting layer 113b can be blue, green, or yellow, and the light-emitting layer 113c can be red. 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.).

[0107] When the translucent electrode 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 Ωcm or less. -2 -2

[0108] 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 reflective electrode 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.

First, a first electrode 901 was formed on the substrate 900. The electrode area was 4 mm

[0294] (2 mm × 2 2 mm). A glass substrate was used for the substrate 900. The first electrode 901 was formed by sputtering indium tin oxide (ITSO) containing silicon oxide to a film thickness of 70 nm.

[0295] Here, as a pretreatment, the surface of the substrate was washed with water, baked at 200 °C for 1 hour, and then UV o​​​​​​​​ Zone treatment was performed for 370 seconds. Then, 10 -4 The substrate was introduced into a vacuum evaporation apparatus whose interior was depressurized to about 10 Pa, and in a heating chamber within the vacuum evaporation apparatus, vacuum baking was carried out at 170 °C for 30 minutes, and then the substrate was allowed to cool for about 30 minutes.

[0296] Next, a hole injection layer 911 was formed on the first electrode 901. The hole injection layer 911 was formed by co-evaporating 1,3,5-tris(dibenzothiophen-4-yl)benzene (abbreviation: DBT3P-II) and molybdenum oxide in a vacuum evaporation apparatus after depressurizing the interior to 10 Pa, with a mass ratio of DBT3P-II:molybdenum oxide of 2:1 and a film thickness of 60 nm. -4 Pa, and then 1,3,5-tris(dibenzothiophen-4-yl)benzene (abbreviation: DBT3P-II) and molybdenum oxide were co-evaporated so that the mass ratio of DBT3P-II:molybdenum oxide was 2:1 and the film thickness became 60 nm. benzene (abbreviation: DBT3P-II) and molybdenum oxide, with DBT3P-II:molybdenum oxide = 2:1 (mass ratio), and formed by co-evaporation so that the film thickness was 60 nm. formed.

[0297] Next, a hole transport layer 912 was formed on the hole injection layer 911. The hole transport layer 912 was formed by evaporating 4,4 '-diphenyl-4''-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)triphenyl amine (abbreviation: PCBBi1BP) so that the film thickness was 20 nm. formed.

[0298] Next, a light-emitting layer 913 was formed on the hole transport layer 912.

[0299] In the case of the light-emitting element 1, the light-emitting layer 913, in addition to 8(βN2)-4mDBtPBfpm and N- (1,1'-biphenyl-4-yl)-N-[4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazole -3-yl)phenyl]-9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluorene-2-amine (abbreviation: P CBBiF), as a guest material (phosphorescent light-emitting material), bis[4,6-dimethyl- 2-(2-quinolinyl-κN)phenyl-κC](2,4-pentanedionato-κ 2 O, (O’) iridium(III) (abbreviation: [Ir(dmpqn)2(acac)]) was used, with a weight ratio of 8(βN2)-4mDBtPBfpm:PCBBiF:[Ir(dmpqn)2 (acac)] = 0.75:0.25:0.1, they were co-evaporated. The film thickness was set to 40 nm. In the case of Comparative Light-Emitting Element 2, in addition to 8βN-4mDBtPBfpm and PCBBiF, as a guest material (phosphorescent light-emitting material), [Ir(dmpqn)2( acac)] was used, and they were co-evaporated with a weight ratio of 8βN-4mDBtPBfpm:PCBBiF:[Ir( dmpqn)2(acac)] = 0.75:0.25:0.1.

In the case of Comparative Light-Emitting Element 3, in addition to 4,8mDBtP2B fpm and PCBBiF, as a guest material (phosphorescent light-emitting material), [Ir(dm pqn)2(acac)] was used, and they were co-evaporated with a weight ratio of 4,8mDBtP2Bfpm:PCBBiF :[Ir(dmpqn)2(acac)] = 0.75:0.25:0.1. The film thickness was set to 40 nm.

[0300] Next, an electron transport layer 914 was formed on the light-emitting layer 913.

[0301] In the case of Light-Emitting Element 1, for the electron transport layer 914, the film thickness of 8(βN2)-4mDBtPBfpm was 25 nm, and the film thickness of 2,9-bis(naphthalen-2-yl)-4,7-diphenyl-1,10- phenanthroline (abbreviation: NBphen) was 15 nm, and they were sequentially evaporated to form it. In the case of Comparative Light-Emitting Element 2, the film thickness of 8βN-4mDBtPBfpm was 25 n m, and the film thickness of NBphen was 15 nm, and they were sequentially evaporated to form it. Also, for the comparative light-emitting In the case of the element 3, it was formed by sequentially depositing a film of 4,8 mDBtP2Bfpmm with a thickness of 25 nm and a film of NBphen with a thickness of 15 nm.

[0302] 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) to a thickness of 1 nm.

[0303] Next, a second electrode 903 was formed on the electron injection layer 915. The second electrode 903 was formed by depositing aluminum by vapor deposition to a thickness of 200 nm. In this embodiment, the second electrode 903 functions as a cathode.

[0304] Through the above steps, a light-emitting element was formed on the substrate 900 with an EL layer 902 sandwiched between a pair of electrodes. Note that the hole injection layer 911, the hole transport layer 912, the light-emitting layer 91 3, the electron transport layer 914, and the electron injection layer 915 described in the above steps are functional layers that constitute the EL layer in one aspect of the present invention. Also, in the vapor deposition process in the manufacturing method described above, all vapor depositions were performed by the resistance heating method.

[0305] In addition, the light-emitting element manufactured as described above is sealed with another substrate (not shown). Note that when sealing with another substrate (not shown), in a glove box under a nitrogen atmosphere, a another substrate (not shown) coated with a sealant that is cured by ultraviolet light was fixed on the substrate 900, and the substrates were adhered to each other so that the sealant adhered to the periphery of the light-emitting element formed on the substrate 900. At the time of sealing, ultraviolet light of 365 nm was irradiated at 6 J / cm 2 to cure the sealant, and the sealant was stabilized by heat treatment at 8 0 °C for 1 hour.

[0306] ​ ≪Operating Characteristics of Light-Emitting Element≫ The operating characteristics of each fabricated light-emitting element were measured. The measurement was carried out at room temperature (maintained at 25 °C atmosphere). Also, as a result of the operating characteristics of each light-emitting element, the current density-luminance characteristics are shown in Fig. 1 5, the voltage-luminance characteristics are shown in Fig. 16, the luminance-current efficiency characteristics are shown in Fig. 17, and the voltage-current characteristics are shown in Fig. 18 respectively.

[0307] Also, the main initial characteristic values of each light-emitting element near 1000 cd / m 2 are shown in Table 2 below. .

[0308]

Table 2

[0309] Also, the emission spectra of the light-emitting element 1, the comparative light-emitting element 2, and the comparative light-emitting element 3 when a current was passed at a current density of 2.5 mA / cm 2 are shown in Fig. 19. As shown in Fig. 19, the emission spectra of the light-emitting element 1 , the comparative light-emitting element 2, and the comparative light-emitting element 3 have a peak near 626 nm , and it is suggested that they all originate from the emission of [Ir(dmpqn)2(acac) contained in the light-emitting layer 913. .

[0310] Next, reliability tests were conducted on the light-emitting element 1, the comparative light-emitting element 2, and the comparative light-emitting element 3 . The results of the reliability test are shown in Fig. 20. In Fig. 20, 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 a constant current drive test in which a constant current was passed at a current density of 75 mA / cm . 2

[0311] From the results of the reliability test, it was found that the light-emitting element 1 has less deterioration at the initial stage of driving compared to the comparative light-emitting element 2 and the comparative light-emitting element 3. Using the organic compound, 8(( βN2)-4mDBtPBfpm (structural formula (102)), which is one aspect of the present invention, can be said to be useful for improving the element characteristics of the light-emitting element. Note that 8βN-4mD BtPBfpm (structural formula (301)) used for the comparative light-emitting element 2 has a structure in which a naphthyl group is bonded to the 8-position of the benzofuropyrimidine skeleton, and 4,8mDBtP2Bfpm (structural formula ( 302)) used for the comparative light-emitting element 3 has a structure in which dibenzothiophene is bonded to the 8-position of the benzofuropyrimidine skeleton via a phenyl group. However, 8((βN2)-4mDBtPBfpm used for the light-emitting element 1 has a structure in which a plurality of arylene groups are linked to the 8-position of the benzofuropyrimidine skeleton. Specifically, it has a molecular structure having a binaphthyl group in which two identical naphthyl groups are linked. Therefore, by using an organic compound having a structure in which a biarylene group is present at the 8-position of a benzofuropyrimidine skeleton or a benzothienopyrimidine skeleton, such as the organic compound which is one aspect of the present invention, in a light-emitting element, the time (LT95) when the initial luminance of the light-emitting element 1 decreases by 5% is 173 hours, whereas the LT95 of the comparative light-emitting element 2 is 86 hours and the LT95 of the comparative light-emitting element 3 is 32 hours. It can be said that it is effective in suppressing the initial deterioration of the light-emitting element and can provide a highly reliable light-emitting element.
