This relates to lighting modules, display devices, light-emitting devices, electronic equipment, lighting devices, and electronic devices. Furthermore, one aspect of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned technical field. One aspect of the technical field relates to a product, method, or method of manufacture. Or, the present invention. One aspect of this is a process, machine, manufacture, or composition. This relates to matter. Therefore, the invention disclosed more specifically in this specification One aspect of the technical field is semiconductor devices, display devices, liquid crystal display devices, light-emitting devices, and lighting devices. A device, an energy storage device, a memory device, an imaging device, a method for driving them, or a method for manufacturing them. This can be given as an example. [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 sandwiched in between. A voltage is applied to this device to inject a carrier, and the carrier By utilizing the recombination energy, light emission can be obtained from light-emitting materials.
[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 an element for sprays. Also, a display using such a light-emitting device One of the major advantages of (I) is that it can be manufactured to be thin and lightweight. Furthermore, it has a very fast response speed. That is also one of its characteristics.
[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] Displays and lighting devices using light-emitting devices in this manner are applicable to a wide range of electronic devices. While suitable, research and development are underway to find light-emitting devices with even better characteristics.
[0006] One of the issues often raised when discussing OLED devices is light extraction. It has low efficiency. In particular, attenuation due to reflection caused by the difference in refractive index of adjacent layers is a problem. This is a major factor that reduces the efficiency of the chair. To mitigate this effect, the inside of the EL layer A configuration has been proposed in which a layer made of a low refractive index material is formed (for example, Patent Document 1, Non-Patent Document 1). (See 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.
[0008] On the other hand, displays using color conversion methods have been put into practical use. A color conversion method is a method that uses color conversion. By irradiating a substance exhibiting toluminescence with light from a light-emitting device, it is possible to produce light of a desired color. It refers to the method of conversion. A color conversion display simply converts the light from the light-emitting device. Compared to displays using a color filter method that cuts off color, the efficiency of photoluminescence Depending on the circumstances, it is easier to obtain a display with less energy loss and lower power consumption. It has certain characteristics. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0051] 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.
[0052] (Embodiment 1) In recent years, color conversion technology using quantum dots (QDs) has been used in liquid crystal displays. It is being put into practical use in fields such as ray. QD is a semiconductor nanocrystal with a size of several nanometers. , 1 x 10 3 From 1 × 10 6 It is composed of about 100 atoms. QDs are composed of electrons and holes. As a result of the excitons being confined within it, their energy states become discrete, Furthermore, the energy shifts depending on the size. That is, quantum particles composed of the same material Even with the same QD, the emission wavelength differs depending on the size, so the size of the QD used should be changed. This allows for easy adjustment of the emission wavelength.
[0053] Furthermore, because QDs have a discrete nature that limits phase relaxation, the peak width of the emission spectrum is narrow. High-quality color purity can be obtained from the emission. In other words, by using a color conversion layer with QDs... Therefore, it is possible to obtain light emission with high color purity, and it complies with the BT.2020 standard and BT.210 standard. It is also possible to obtain emission that covers the Rec.2020 color gamut, which is standardized by the 0 standard. be.
[0054] Color conversion layers using QDs, like color conversion layers using organic compound light-emitting materials, are luminescent devices. The light-emitting device absorbs light emitted from the source and re-emits it through photoluminescence. It converts light into light with longer wavelengths. Therefore, the color conversion layer is applied to display applications. In order to reproduce full color, the blue color, which has the shortest wavelength among the three primary colors, is required. The system employs a configuration that obtains light from a light-emitting device and then converts it into green and red light through color conversion.
[0055] In other words, the characteristics of the blue light-emitting device used in displays employing a color conversion method. This will govern many of its characteristics, resulting in a blue light-emitting device with better performance. That is what is required.

The configuration is such that light is incident on layer 205. The light-emitting device 207 has a first electrode 201 and a second An EL layer 202 is provided between the electrode 203 and the other element. Furthermore, the color conversion layer 205 has quantum dots. Preferably, it contains a function that absorbs incident light and emits light of a predetermined wavelength. It has the following characteristics. When the color conversion layer 205 contains quantum dots, the peak width of the emission spectrum is narrow. It is possible to obtain light emission with good color purity.
[0057] The above-mentioned color conversion layer 205 has the function of absorbing incident light and emitting light of a predetermined wavelength. The substance contains a material, but the material having the function of emitting light of the specified wavelength is: It is possible to use various luminescent materials, such as inorganic and organic materials that exhibit toluminescence. Yes, in particular, quantum dots (QDs), which are inorganic materials, exhibit the peak of the emission spectrum as described above. It has a narrow beam width and produces light with good color purity. Furthermore, being an inorganic material, it has inherent stability. It is also suitable for reasons such as its superior performance and its theoretical internal quantum efficiency of nearly 100%.
[0058] The color conversion layer 205 containing quantum dots is coated with a solvent in which the quantum dots are dispersed, dried, and baked. It can be formed by creating a system in which quantum dots are dispersed beforehand. A new method has also been developed. Color separation can be achieved using droplet ejection methods such as inkjet, or printing. After applying it to the surface and fixing it through drying, firing, or solidification, photolithography is performed. This can be done by etching using a tool or similar method.
[0059] Quantum dots include Group 14 elements, Group 15 elements, Group 16 elements, and multiple Group 14 elements. Compounds consisting of elements from groups 4 to 14 and elements from group 16, and elements from group 2.

For example, CdS x Se (1-x) (where x is any number from 0 to 1) These alloy-type quantum dots can change their emission wavelength by changing x, thus producing blue light. This is one effective method for obtaining colored light emission.
[0061] Quantum dot structures include core type, core-shell type, and core-multishell type. Either of these may be used, but another inorganic material with a wider band gap should be used to cover the core. By forming a shell with the material, defects and dangling bonds present on the nanocrystal surface are removed. This reduces the impact of [unclear]. As a result, the quantum efficiency of light emission is greatly improved, thus reducing the core -It is preferable to use shell-type or core-multishell type quantum dots. Shell material Examples include zinc sulfide (ZnS) and zinc oxide (ZnO).
[0062] Furthermore, because quantum dots have a high proportion of surface atoms, they are highly reactive and prone to aggregation.

[0063] If the substance contained in the color conversion layer 205 is a QD, the QD will emit light from near its own emission wavelength to short waves. It has a continuous absorption spectrum with high absorption intensity at shorter wavelengths on the longer side. Therefore, multiple If the display requires a specific light emission color, the light emission contained within the light-emitting device of each color pixel will be used. The central material can be a common material, and as shown in Figure 1(B), a light-emitting device is used for each pixel color. This eliminates the need for differentiating between materials, allowing for the relatively inexpensive manufacture of light-emitting devices.
[0064] Figure 1(B) shows, as an example, pixels that emit blue, green, and red light. 208B is blue. This is the first pixel that emits color light. The first pixel 208B is connected to the first electrode 201B and the second electrode It has poles 203, one of which is the anode and the other is the cathode. Alternatively, one may be a reflective electrode and the other a semi-transparent, semi-reflective electrode. Similarly, green light emission A second pixel 208G exhibiting a certain light emission, and a third pixel 208R exhibiting red light emission are shown in the figure. The first electrode 201G and the second electrode 203, and the first electrode 201R and It also has a second electrode 203. In Figure 1(B), the first electrodes 201B, 201G and The configuration is such that electrode 201R is both a reflective electrode and an anode, and the second electrode 203 is a semi-transparent, semi-reflective electrode. This illustrates the first electrode 201B to the first electrode 201R, which are formed on the insulator 200. Also, to prevent light from mixing with adjacent pixels, a black matrix is placed between pixels. It is preferable that a rix 206 is provided. The black matrix 206 is an inkjet It can also serve as a bank for forming the color conversion layer using methods such as the ETT method.
[0065] Furthermore, Figure 1(C) shows pixels that emit four colors of light: blue, green, red, and white. 208W This is the fourth pixel, which emits white light. The fourth pixel 208W is connected to the first electrode 201W, It has a second electrode 203, one of which is the anode and the other is the cathode. In these cases, one may be a reflective electrode and the other a semi-transparent, semi-reflective electrode. The pole 201W is formed on the insulator 200. Also, to prevent light from mixing with adjacent pixels Therefore, it is preferable to provide a black matrix 206 between pixels.

[0066] First electrodes 201B, 201G, 2 in the first pixels 208B to the fourth pixels 208W An EL layer 202 is sandwiched between 01R, 201W and the second electrode 203. Even if 202 is common to the first pixel 208B through the fourth pixel 208W, it can be separated. While it's acceptable to have them, having them common across multiple pixels makes manufacturing easier and is more cost-effective. Furthermore, the EL layer 202 is usually composed of multiple functionally separated layers, but some of them are multiple The data is shared across a number of pixels, although some parts may be independent for each pixel.
[0067] The first pixel 208B to the fourth pixel 208W are connected to the first electrode, the second electrode, and the EL layer. The first light-emitting device 207B, the second light-emitting device 207G, and the third light-emitting device are composed of the above. It has a vice 207R and a fourth light-emitting device 207W. See Figure 1(B) and In (C), the first pixel 208B to the fourth pixel 208W have a common EL layer 202. An example of such a configuration was provided.
[0068] The first light-emitting device 207B to the fourth light-emitting device 207W are connected to a first electrode and a second electrode By using one of the electrodes as a reflective electrode and the other as a semi-transparent semi-reflective electrode, a micro-resonant structure can be created. It can be a light-emitting device having the following. The wavelengths at which resonance is possible are the wavelengths of the reflecting electrode. This is determined by the optical distance 209 between the surface and the surface of the semi-transparent, semi-reflective electrode. By setting the wavelength to be resonated to λ, and the setting to an integer multiple of λ / 2, light of wavelength λ is amplified. This is possible. The optical distance 209 is the distance between the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, and a part of the electrode in the EL layer. This can be adjusted by forming a transparent electrode layer on the reflective electrode, etc. Figure 1(B) In the light-emitting device shown in Figure 1(C), the EL layer is the first light-emitting device 207B to the fourth light-emitting device Since it is common to the 207W and the light-emitting central material is also the same, the optical properties of the light-emitting device Since distance 209 is common to the first pixel 208B through the fourth pixel 208W, it can be easily formed. This is possible. Furthermore, if the EL layer 202 is made differently for each pixel, the EL An optical distance of 209 should be formed in accordance with the light from the layer.
[0069] The protective layer 204 is provided on the second electrode 203. Also, the first light-emitting device 207B A protective layer 2 is added to protect the fourth light-emitting device 207W from substances and environmental factors that could adversely affect it. 04 may be provided.

[0070] Furthermore, by bonding the color conversion layer and the light-emitting device with a resin having an appropriate refractive index, the light-emitting layer The light emitted can reach the color conversion layer in greater quantities. As a result, the color conversion layer Because the light is intensified, it becomes possible to manufacture a highly efficient light-emitting device. The resin having the appropriate refractive index mentioned above is It may also serve as the protective layer 204, or it may be further provided between the protective layer 204 and the color conversion layer. It is acceptable to include it. The refractive index of the resin is preferably 1.4 to 2.0, and preferably 1.7. It is more preferable that the refractive index is between 1.9 and 1.9. By having this feature, it is possible to reduce light loss due to thin-film modes and obtain a more efficient light-emitting device. can.
[0071] Furthermore, the first pixel 208B emits light without going through the color conversion layer, and therefore, among the three primary colors of light, it emits light that is the most... It is also preferable that the pixels emit high-energy blue light. In the case where the light emitted by the first light-emitting device 207B to the fourth light-emitting device 207W is the same color In addition, blue light emission is preferred. In this case, the light-emitting center included in these light-emitting devices While using the same material is cost-effective, using different luminescence-centering materials is also acceptable. stomach.
[0072] Furthermore, if a different light-emitting device is not created for each pixel color, the light-emitting device will The emission from the luminescent central material is blue emission (the peak wavelength of the emission spectrum is from 440 nm to 5 The wavelength is preferably 20 nm, preferably around 420 nm to 480 nm. The peak wavelength of a substance's emission spectrum is calculated from the PL spectrum in solution. Since the relative permittivity of the organic compounds constituting the EL layer of the chair is approximately 3, the light emission of the light-emitting device To avoid discrepancies with the spectrum, the ratio of solvents used to bring the luminescent central substance into a solution state is The dielectric constant is preferably 1 or more and 10 or less at room temperature, and more preferably 2 or more and 5 The following are the specifics: hexane, benzene, toluene, diethyl ether, and ethyl acetate. Examples include chloroform, chlorobenzene, and dichloromethane. Also, at room temperature A solvent with a dielectric constant of 2 to 5, high solubility, and general-purpose properties is more preferable, for example, Tol It is preferable that it be ene or chloroform.
[0073] The color conversion layer 205G contains a material that absorbs light from the second light-emitting device 207G and emits light. The light emitted from the second light-emitting device 207G is incident on the color conversion layer 205G, and the wavelength is long. Green light (with a peak wavelength of emission spectrum of 500 nm to 600 nm, preferably 50 It is converted from 0nm to 560nm and then emitted. Similarly, 205R is also a color conversion layer, and the color changes The replacement layer 205R contains a material that absorbs light from the third light-emitting device 207R and emits light. The light emitted from the third light-emitting device 207R is incident on the color conversion layer 205R, and the wavelength Long red light (with a peak wavelength of emission spectrum from 600 nm to 750 nm, preferably 6 The color is converted from approximately 10nm to 700nm and then extruded. Color conversion layer 205G and color conversion layer 205R absorbs light sufficiently from the light-emitting device and transmits as little light as possible from the light-emitting device. It is preferable that the product contains a substance that performs color conversion, such as QD, at a certain concentration.
[0074] Similarly, 205W is a color conversion layer, and the color conversion layer 205W contains a fourth light-emitting device 207W. It contains a substance that absorbs light and emits light. Light emitted from the fourth light-emitting device 207W. This is incident on the color conversion layer 205W, and long-wavelength yellow light (with a peak wavelength of 5 in its emission spectrum) is incident on the color conversion layer 205W. The light is converted to approximately 60nm to 610nm, preferably 580nm to 595nm, and then injected. The color conversion layer 205W contains rare earth elements such as europium, cerium, and yttrium. It contains at least one or more elements and efficiently converts blue light emission to yellow light emission. Yes, it is possible. The 205W color conversion layer performs color conversion to the extent that it transmits light from the light-emitting device to a moderate degree. It contains a substance that converts light through the 205W color conversion layer and transmits light through the 205W color conversion layer. The light from the light-emitting devices mixes to produce white light emission.
[0075] Furthermore, each of these pixels may also have a color filter.
[0076] In a light-emitting device having such a configuration, the light that reaches the color conversion layer is absorbed by electrodes or the like. Optical loss due to condensation, optical loss due to evanescent mode, and bonded trees The amount obtained after removing optical loss due to light confinement resulting from the refractive index step difference between the oil and the light-emitting device is... Therefore, it is required to reduce these losses.
[0077] Thus, the light-emitting device 207 is a light-emitting device having a configuration as shown in FIGS. 2(A) to (C). The light-emitting device used in the light-emitting device according to one aspect of the present invention will be described below. .

The refractive index is the refractive index of blue light emitted by the light-emitting central substance (the peak wavelength of the emission spectrum is from 440 nm to 520 nm, preferably about 420 nm to 480 nm), for example, a layer made of a material having a refractive index of 1.75 or less with respect to light having a wavelength of 467 nm is included. The EL layer 103 has a light-emitting layer 113, and in addition to a hole injection layer 111 and / or a hole transport layer 112, an electron transport layer 114 and / or an electron injection layer 115, it may have various functional layers. The light-emitting layer 113 contains a light-emitting material, and the light-emitting device 207 obtains light emission from the light-emitting material. The light-emitting layer 113 may contain a host material and other materials. The layer made of a material having a refractive index of 1.75 or less with respect to light having a wavelength of 467 nm may be any layer other than the light-emitting layer 113, but it is preferably any one or more of the hole injection layer 111, the hole transport layer 112, and the electron transport layer 114. By the presence of a layer with a small refractive index inside the EL layer, the evanescent mode and the thin film mode in which light disappears as an optical loss inside the device are suppressed, and the light extraction efficiency is improved. Therefore
[0079] This allows for the creation of light-emitting devices with good external quantum efficiency. Furthermore, the layer with a small refractive index is... It is preferable that the light-emitting layer is located on the electrode side of the light emission layer.

Composite materials can also be used that have been modified to include acceptor properties. By using composite materials containing certain properties, the material used to form electrodes can be selected regardless of the work function.

Compounds with a skeletal structure offer good reliability, high hole transport properties, and reduced driving voltage. This is also preferable as it contributes to the process. Furthermore, the organic compounds listed above as examples of the first substance can also be used. It is possible.
[0115] Examples of materials with electron transport properties include bis(10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoli Sodium beryllium(II) (abbreviation: BeBq2), bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinolate) )(4-phenylphenolate)aluminum(III) (abbreviation: BAlq), bis(8- Zinc(II) (abbreviation: Znq), bis[2-(2-benzoxazolyl) [Phenolate]zinc(II) (abbreviation: ZnPBO), bis[2-(2-benzothiazolyl) Metal complexes such as phenolate zinc(II) (abbreviated as ZnBTZ) and π-electron-deficient heteroatoms Organic compounds having a fragrant ring skeleton are preferred.

Among those mentioned above, heterocyclic compounds having a diazine skeleton and pyridine skeletons are examples. Heterocyclic compounds having are reliable and preferred. In particular, diazines (pyrimidines and Heterocyclic compounds with a pyrazine skeleton exhibit high electron transport properties and contribute to reducing the driving voltage. .
[0116] As for TADF materials that can be used as host materials, the previously mentioned TADF materials are... The same material can be used. When TADF material is used as the host material, TA The triplet excitation energy generated in the DF material is converted to a singlet excitation energy through reverse intersystem crossing. It is converted into a substance, and then energy is transferred to the light-emitting material, thereby increasing the luminescence efficiency of the light-emitting device. This can be achieved. At this time, the TADF material functions as an energy donor, and the luminescent substance It functions as an energy acceptor.
[0117] This is very effective when the above-mentioned light-emitting material is a fluorescent material. In order to obtain high luminescence efficiency, the S1 level of the TADF material is higher than the S1 level of the fluorescent material. It is preferable that the T1 level of the TADF material is higher than the S1 level of the fluorescent material. A high level is preferable. Therefore, the T1 level of the TADF material is the same as the T1 level of the fluorescent material. A higher value is preferable.
[0118] Furthermore, it exhibits emission at wavelengths that overlap with the wavelength of the lowest-energy absorption band of the fluorescent material. It is preferable to use a TADF material that exhibits fluorescence emission. This is preferable because the transfer of excitation energy to the material becomes smoother, and luminescence is obtained efficiently. stomach.
[0119] Furthermore, singlet excitation energy is efficiently generated from triplet excitation energy through reverse intersystem crossing. For this to occur, it is preferable that carrier recombination occurs in the TADF material. The triplet excitation energy generated by the DF material is transferred to the triplet excitation energy of the fluorescent material. It is preferable not to do so. To that end, the fluorescent material has a luminescent phosphodiolus ( It is preferable to have a protecting group around the skeleton that causes light emission. The protecting group is a π bond. Substituents that do not have a substituent are preferred, saturated hydrocarbons are preferred, specifically those having 3 to 10 carbon atoms. The alkyl group below, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl groups with 3 to 10 carbon atoms, carbon Examples include trialkylsilyl groups with a number between 3 and 10, and it is even preferable if there are multiple protecting groups. Substituents that do not have a π bond have poor carrier transport function, therefore carrier transport and The distance between the TADF material and the fluorescent material's luminescent phosphate is minimized without affecting carrier recombination. It can keep the distance away. Here, a luminescent group is the substance that causes light emission in a fluorescent substance. This refers to an atomic group (skeleton). The luminescent group preferably has a skeleton with π bonds and contains an aromatic ring. It is preferable that it has a condensed aromatic ring or a condensed heteroaromatic ring. Examples of compound aromatic rings include the phenanthrene skeleton, stilbene skeleton, acridone skeleton, and pheno Examples include xazine skeletons and phenothiazine skeletons. In particular, naphthalene skeletons and anthracene skeletons. Skeleton, fluorene skeleton, chrysene skeleton, triphenylene skeleton, tetracene skeleton, pyrene skeleton It has a perylene skeleton, coumarin skeleton, quinacridone skeleton, and naphthobisbenzofuran skeleton. Fluorescent materials are preferred because they have a high fluorescence quantum yield.
[0120] When using a fluorescent material as the light-emitting material, the host material should have an anthracene skeleton. Materials that are suitable for this purpose are used as host materials for fluorescent materials. When used in this way, it is possible to realize a light-emitting layer with good luminescence efficiency and durability. Host material Substances having an anthracene skeleton that can be used as a material include diphenylanthracene skeletons, In particular, substances having a 9,10-diphenylanthracene skeleton are preferred because they are chemically stable. Furthermore, if the host material has a carbazole skeleton, hole injection and transport properties are enhanced. Therefore, it is preferable, but a benzocarbazole skeleton in which a benzene ring is further condensed on carbazole is preferable. When included, the HOMO becomes about 0.1 eV shallower than that of carbazole, making it easier for holes to enter. Therefore, it is preferable. In particular, when the host material contains a dibenzocarbazole skeleton, The HOMO becomes about 0.1 eV shallower than in zole, making it easier for holes to enter, and also for hole transport. It is also excellent in terms of properties and has high heat resistance, making it suitable. Therefore, it is even more suitable as a host material. What is interesting is the 9,10-diphenylanthracene skeleton and the carbazole skeleton (or It is a substance that simultaneously possesses a benzocarbazole skeleton or a dibenzocarbazole skeleton. From the viewpoint of hole injection and transport as described above, the carbazole skeleton was replaced with a benzofluorene skeleton. A dibenzofluorene skeleton may also be used. An example of such a substance is 9-phenyl Lu-3-[4-(10-phenyl-9-antryl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole ( Abbreviation: PCzPA), 3-[4-(1-naphthyl)-phenyl]-9-phenyl-9H- Carbazole (abbreviation: PCPN), 9-[4-(10-phenyl-9-anthracenyl) Phenyl]-9H-carbazole (abbreviation: CzPA), 7-[4-(10-phenyl-9 -Anthryl)phenyl]-7H-dibenzo[c,g]carbazole (abbreviation: cgDBC) zPA), 6-[3-(9,10-diphenyl-2-anthryl)phenyl]-benzo[ b)Naphtho[1,2-d]furan (abbreviation: 2mBnfPPA), 9-phenyl-10-{ 4-(9-phenyl-9H-fluoren-9-yl)biphenyl-4'-yl}anthra Sen (abbreviation: FLPPA), 9-(1-naphthyl)-10-[4-(2-naphthyl)fe Examples include nylanthracene (abbreviation: αN-βNPAnth). In particular, CzPA, cgDBCzPA, 2mBnfPPA, and PCzPA exhibit very good properties and are therefore preferred. That is a good choice.
[0121] Furthermore, the host material may be a mixture of multiple substances, and the mixed host material When used, a mixture of electron-transporting material and hole-transporting material is used. Preferably, by mixing an electron-transporting material with a hole-transporting material. Furthermore, the transport properties of the light-emitting layer 113 can be easily adjusted, and the recombination region can be easily controlled. This is possible. The weight ratio of the content of hole-transporting material to electron-transporting material is positive. The ratio of materials with pore transport properties to materials with electron transport properties should be changed from 1:19 to 19:1.
[0122] Furthermore, phosphorescent materials can be used as part of the above-mentioned mixed materials. When using a fluorescent material as a light-emitting material, excitation energy is supplied to the fluorescent material. It can be used as an energy donor.
[0123] Furthermore, these mixed materials may form excited complexes. These excited complexes are luminescent substances. It forms an excited complex that emits light that overlaps with the wavelength of the lowest energy absorption band. By selecting the right combination, energy transfer becomes smoother, and luminescence is obtained more efficiently. This is preferable because it allows for a reduction in the drive voltage.
[0124] Furthermore, at least one of the materials forming the excitation complex may be a phosphorescent material. By doing so, the triplet excitation energy is efficiently converted to the singlet excitation energy through reverse intersystem crossing. It can be converted to -.
[0125] As a combination of materials that efficiently form excited complexes, HO is a material with hole transport properties. It is preferable that the MO level is above the HOMO level of the electron-transporting material. If the LUMO level of a material with electron-transporting properties is higher than or equal to the LUMO level of a material with electron-transporting properties Preferred. Note that the LUMO and HOMO levels of the material are controlled by cyclic voltammetry. From the electrochemical properties (reduction potential and oxidation potential) of the material measured by CV (coefficient of variation) It can be derived.
[0126] Furthermore, the formation of excited complexes is related to, for example, the emission spectrum of hole-transporting materials and electron-transporting properties. The emission spectrum of a material having the above properties, and the emission spectrum of a mixed film obtained by mixing these materials. In comparison, the emission spectrum of the mixed film is shifted to longer wavelengths than the emission spectra of each individual material. Alternatively, this can be confirmed by observing a phenomenon (which has a new peak on the longer wavelength side). Alternatively, transient photoluminescence (PL) and electron transport of materials with hole transport properties. The transient PL of materials possessing certain properties and the transient PL of a mixed film obtained by mixing these materials are compared, and the mixing The transient PL lifetime of the film has a longer lifetime component than the transient PL lifetime of each material, or a delayed lifetime component. This can be confirmed by observing differences in transient responses, such as an increase in the proportion of the time. Furthermore, the transient PL mentioned above can be interpreted as transient electroluminescence (EL). No. That is, transient EL for hole-transporting materials, transient E for electron-transporting materials. By comparing the transient EL of L and mixed films and observing the differences in transient response, Excitation complex formation can be confirmed.
[0127] In one embodiment of the present invention, the light emitted from the light-emitting device is photoluminescent. Therefore, the color is converted. When obtaining the three primary colors of light without differentiating the light-emitting devices. The light emitted by the light-emitting device is the blue light, which has the highest energy, or the blue light is also varied. If obtained by replacement, it is preferable that the light-emitting device exhibits emission in the purple to ultraviolet region.
[0128] The electron transport layer 114 is a layer containing a substance that has electron transport properties. As examples, the above-mentioned materials are electron-transporting substances that can be used as host materials. You can use this.
[0129] Furthermore, the electron transport layer consists of an electron-transporting material and an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal. It is preferable that it contains elements, compounds, or complexes. Also, the electron transport layer 114 has an electric field strength [ The electron mobility at which the square root of [V / cm] is 600 is 1 × 10⁻¹⁰ -7 cm 2 / Vs or more 5×1 0 -5 cm 2 It is preferable that it is less than or equal to / Vs. Electron transport properties in electron transport layer 114 By reducing the amount of electrons injected into the light-emitting layer, the amount of electrons injected into the light-emitting layer can be controlled, and the light-emitting layer can become electron-rich. This prevents the condition from occurring. This configuration, in particular, forms the hole injection layer as a composite material. Furthermore, the HOMO level of the hole-transporting material in the composite material is -5.7 eV or higher. Materials with relatively deep HOMO levels of 5.4 eV or less tend to have a good lifetime. Therefore, it is particularly preferable. In this case, the electron-transporting material has a HOMO level of -6 It is preferable that the electron transport voltage is 0.0 eV or higher. Furthermore, the material having electron transport properties is anthracene. Preferably, it is an organic compound having a skeleton, and both an anthracene skeleton and a heterocyclic skeleton are present. It is more preferable that the compound is an organic compound. The heterocyclic skeleton is a nitrogen-containing five-membered ring skeleton. Alternatively, a nitrogen-containing six-membered ring skeleton is preferred, and these heterocyclic skeletons include pyrazole rings, imida Zole ring, oxazole ring, thiazole ring, pyrazine ring, pyrimidine ring, pyridazine ring, etc. How to have a nitrogen-containing 5-membered ring skeleton or a nitrogen-containing 6-membered ring skeleton that includes two complex atoms in the ring It is particularly preferable that alkali metals or alkaline earth metals are in elemental form or compound or The complex preferably contains an 8-hydroxyquinolinate structure.

In particular, complexes of monovalent metal ions. The compound, particularly the lithium complex, is preferred, and Liq is more preferred. If it contains a nolinate structure, its methyl-substituted derivatives (e.g., 2-methyl-substituted derivatives or 5-methyl-substituted derivatives) Alkali metals or alkalis can also be used in the electron transport layer. In elemental, compound, or complex form of earth metal, the concentration difference in the thickness direction (when it is 0) It is preferable that the following exist (including).

You may also use something like an electride. For example, calcium Examples include substances obtained by adding a high concentration of electrons to a mixed oxide of um and aluminum.
[0131] Furthermore, the electron injection layer 115 is made of a substance having electron transport properties (preferably a bipyridine skeleton). (An organic compound containing) the above alkali metal or alkaline earth metal fluoride in a microcrystalline state It is also possible to use a layer containing a concentration of 50 wt% or more. This layer is refraction Because it is a low-efficiency layer, it is possible to provide a light-emitting device with better external quantum efficiency. It becomes Noh.
[0132] The effect of introducing a low refractive index layer is greater between the light-emitting layer and the cathode than between the anode and the light-emitting layer. The layer is larger, and the electron transport layer has a lower refractive index than the hole injection layer or hole transport layer. Although the effect is larger, it is preferable to have low refractive index layers on both sides for a greater effect. This improves the device characteristics during color conversion, resulting in a highly efficient color-converting light-emitting device. It is possible.
[0133] Alternatively, a charge generation layer 116 may be provided instead of the electron injection layer 115 (Figure 2(B)). The charge generation layer generates holes in the layer adjacent to the cathode side of the layer when an electric potential is applied, and in the layer adjacent to the anode side. This refers to a layer into which electrons can be injected. The charge generation layer 116 has at least The P-type layer 117 is also included. The P-type layer 117 constitutes the hole injection layer 111 described above. It is preferable to form it using the composite materials listed as possible materials. Also, the P-type layer 117 is The composite material includes a film containing the acceptor material described above and a hole transport material. It may also be constructed by stacking films. By applying a potential to the P-type layer 117, the electron transport layer Electrons are injected into electrode 114, and holes are injected into the second electrode 102, which is the cathode, causing the light-emitting device to operate. Furthermore, since the organic compound of one embodiment of the present invention is an organic compound with a low refractive index, it is P-type By using it in layer 117, a light-emitting device with good external quantum efficiency can be obtained. .
[0134] In addition to the P-type layer 117, the charge generation layer 116 also includes an electron relay layer 118 and an electron injection buffer. It is preferable that one or both of the layers 119 are provided.

Furthermore, wet deposition can be performed using the sol-gel method. It may be formed by a mold, or by a wet process using a paste of a metallic material.
[0139] Furthermore, various methods can be used to form the EL layer 103, regardless of whether they are dry or wet methods. This can be done using methods such as vacuum deposition, gravure printing, offset printing, and screen printing. You may use methods such as printing, inkjet printing, or spin coating.
[0140] Furthermore, each electrode or layer described above may be formed using different film deposition methods.
[0141] The configuration of the layer provided between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 is as described above. It is not limited to this. However, if the light-emitting region and the metal used in the electrodes or carrier injection layer are in close proximity To suppress the quenching that occurs as a result, the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 1 A configuration is preferred in which a light-emitting region is provided at a location away from O2 where holes and electrons recombine.
[0142] Furthermore, the hole transport layer and electron transport layer in contact with the light-emitting layer 113, and especially the recombination in the light-emitting layer 113, The carrier transport layer near the region suppresses energy transfer from excitons generated in the light-emitting layer. Therefore, the band gap is the light-emitting material that makes up the light-emitting layer or the light contained in the light-emitting layer. It is preferable to use materials with a band gap larger than the band gap of the material itself. It seems so.
[0143] Next, we have a light-emitting device (multilayer element, tandem element) with a configuration in which multiple light-emitting units are stacked. The form of the (also called the child) will be explained with reference to Figure 2(C). This light-emitting device is positive This is a light-emitting device having multiple light-emitting units between the electrode and the cathode. The structure of the EL layer 103 shown in Figure 2(A) is almost the same as that of the EL layer 103 shown in Figure 2(C). The light-emitting device shown is a light-emitting device having multiple light-emitting units, as shown in Figure 2(A) or The light-emitting device shown in Figure 2(B) is a light-emitting device having one light-emitting unit. It can be said that.
[0144] In Figure 2(C), a first light-emitting unit 511 and a cathode 502 are located between the anode 501 and the cathode 502. A second light-emitting unit 512 is stacked with the first light-emitting unit 511 and the second light-emitting unit A charge generation layer 513 is provided between the knit 512 and the cathode 502. These correspond to the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 in Figure 2(A), respectively. The same thing described in the explanation can be applied. Also, the first light-emitting unit 51 The first and second light-emitting units 512 may have the same configuration or different configurations.
[0145] When a voltage is applied to the anode 501 and cathode 502, the charge generation layer 513 generates a light from one of the light-emitting units. It has the function of injecting electrons into one unit and holes into the other light-emitting unit. That is, Figure In 2(C), when a voltage is applied such that the potential of the anode is higher than the potential of the cathode... In addition, the charge generation layer 513 injects electrons into the first light-emitting unit 511 and the second light-emitting unit Any method that injects a hole into T512 will suffice.
[0146] The charge generation layer 513 is formed with the same configuration as the charge generation layer 116 described in Figure 2(B). Preferably, composite materials of organic compounds and metal oxides have good carrier implantation and carrier transport properties. Due to its superior performance, it can achieve low-voltage and low-current operation. If the anode side of the net is in contact with the charge generation layer 513, the charge generation layer 513 will light up the unit. Since it can also serve as the hole injection layer of the net, the light-emitting unit does not require a hole injection layer. That's fine.
[0147] Furthermore, if an electron injection buffer layer 119 is provided in the charge generation layer 513, the electron injection buffer Since layer 119 plays the role of an electron injection layer in the anode-side light-emitting unit, the anode-side light emission The unit does not necessarily need to have an electron injection layer.
[0148] Figure 2(C) illustrates a light-emitting device having two light-emitting units, but there are also devices with three or more units. The same method can be applied to light-emitting devices that stack the above light-emitting units. As in the light-emitting device according to this embodiment, multiple light-emitting units are charged between a pair of electrodes. By separating and arranging the elements with the generation layer 513, high-brightness light emission is possible while maintaining a low current density. This enables the realization of a light-emitting device with an even longer lifespan. Furthermore, it allows for low-voltage operation and low power consumption. A light-emitting device can be realized.
[0149] Figure 3 shows an example of the present invention, similar to Figure 2(C), of a light-emitting device having multiple light-emitting units. This is a schematic diagram of a light-emitting device when applied in the manner. An anode 501 is formed on the substrate 100, A first light-emitting unit 511 having a light-emitting layer 113-1 and a second light-emitting layer 113-2 The configuration involves stacking the second light-emitting unit 512 via a charge-generating layer 513. The light emitted from the light-emitting device is either transmitted through the color conversion layer 205 or emitted directly. Furthermore, color purity can be improved by using color filters 225R, 225G, and 225B. Note that while Figure 3 illustrates a configuration with a color filter 225B, it is not limited to this configuration. It is not done. For example, in Figure 3, instead of color filter 225B, an overcoat A layered configuration is also possible. The overcoat layer can be made of an organic resin material, typically, Acrylic resins and polyimide resins may be used. Note that in this specification, etc., color The filter layer is sometimes referred to as the colored layer, and the overcoat layer as the resin layer. So, color filter 225R is the first coloring layer, and color filter 225G is the second coloring layer. You can also refer to them as layers.
[0150] Furthermore, the EL layer 103, the first light-emitting unit 511, the second light-emitting unit 512 and Each layer, such as the charge generation layer, and the electrodes are, for example, deposited by methods such as vapor deposition (including vacuum deposition) and droplet ejection ( It can be formed using methods such as inkjet printing, coating, and gravure printing. They can be used. Also, they include low molecular weight materials, medium molecular weight materials (including oligomers and dendrimers), and Alternatively, it may contain polymer materials.
[0151] Now, focusing on the color reproduction capabilities of full-color displays, to express a richer color gamut... For this purpose, it is essential to obtain light with good color purity. Emission from organic compounds is different from that from that of inorganic compounds. Compared to the emission from other sources, it often has a broad spectrum and sufficient color purity. To obtain the light emission, a spectrum is obtained using a micro-resonant structure (microcavity structure). It is preferable that the line be narrowed.
[0152] In fact, in light-emitting devices that use appropriate dopants and apply appropriate micro-resonance structures, The wide color gamut of Rec.2020, defined in the BT.2020 and BT.2100 standards. Blue light emission corresponding to the turbidity can be obtained. In this case, the micro-resonant structure of the light-emitting device However, by having a configuration that enhances blue light, it is possible to obtain a light-emitting device with good color purity and high efficiency. It is possible.
[0153] A light-emitting device having a micro-resonant structure has a pair of electrodes in the light-emitting device, which are a reflective electrode and a semi-transparent electrode. It is obtained by constructing a semi-reflective electrode. The reflective electrode and the semi-transmissive / semi-reflective electrode are as described above. These correspond to the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102, with one being a reflective electrode and the other a semipermeable electrode. A hyper- or semi-reflective electrode would suffice.
[0154] Light-emitting devices with a micro-resonant structure emit light in all directions from the light-emitting layer contained in the EL layer. The light emitted is reflected by the reflective electrode and the semitransparent / semi-reflective electrode, and through resonance, it reaches a certain wavelength. The light is amplified, and the resulting light becomes directional.
[0155] The reflective electrode has a visible light reflectance of 40% to 100%, preferably 70% to 100%. Furthermore, the resistivity is 1 × 10⁻⁶ -2 Assume it is less than or equal to Ωcm. Examples include aluminum (Al) or alloys containing Al. Al and L (L is titanium (Ti), neodymium (Nd), nickel (Ni), and ran) Examples include alloys containing tan (representing one or more tan (La)), such as Al and Ti, Alternatively, it could be an alloy containing Al, Ni, and La. Aluminum has low resistance and light reflection. The rate is high. Also, aluminum is abundant in the Earth's crust and is inexpensive, therefore aluminum Using nium can reduce the manufacturing cost of light-emitting devices. (Ag), or Ag and N (N is yttrium (Y), Nd, magnesium (Mg), Ytterbium (Yb), Al, Ti, Gallium (Ga), Zinc (Zn), Indium ( In (In), tungsten (W), manganese (Mn), tin (Sn), iron (Fe), nickel, copper (Cu), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), or gold (Au), one or more of these. You may also use alloys containing (representing a number). For example, an alloy containing silver is made of silver and paradoxical. Alloys containing um and copper, alloys containing silver and copper, alloys containing silver and magnesium, and alloys containing silver and nickel Examples include alloys containing silver and gold, and alloys containing silver and ytterbium. Other examples include: Transition metals such as tungsten, chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), copper, and titanium are used. It is possible.
[0156] Furthermore, a light-transmitting conductive material is used as an optical path length adjustment layer between the reflective electrode and the EL layer 103. A transparent electrode layer can be formed, and the first electrode 101 can be made up of two layers: a reflective electrode and a transparent electrode. By using a transparent electrode layer, it is also possible to adjust the optical path length (cavity length) of the micro-resonant structure. Yes, it is possible. Examples of conductive materials with light transmission properties include indium tin oxide (Indium Ti). n Oxide (hereinafter referred to as ITO), silicon or indium tin oxide containing silicon oxide (abbreviation: ITSO), Indium Zinc Oxide, Titanium Indium-tin oxide, indium-titanium oxide, and tungsten oxide containing tungsten Examples include metal oxides such as indium oxide containing zinc oxide.
[0157] The semi-transparent / semi-reflective electrode has a visible light reflectance of 20% to 80%, preferably 40% to 70%. It is a percentage, and the resistivity is 1 × 10⁻⁶. -2 Assume it is less than or equal to Ωcm. As for semi-transmissive and semi-reflective electrodes... It is formed using one or more types of conductive metals, alloys, conductive compounds, etc. Yes, it is possible. Specifically, for example, indium tin oxide , hereafter ITO), silicon or indium tin oxide containing silicon oxide (abbreviation: ITSO), acid Indium zinc oxide, an acid containing titanium Indium tin oxide, indium titanium oxide, tungsten oxide, and zinc oxide Metal oxides such as indium oxide can be used. Also, to the extent that it transmits light A thin metal film of a certain thickness (preferably 1 nm to 30 nm) can be used. Examples of genera include Ag, or Ag and Al, Ag and Mg, Ag and Au, Ag and Yb. Which alloys can be used?
[0158] The reflective electrode and the semitransmissive / semi-reflective electrode are either the first electrode 101 or the second electrode 102. That's fine. Also, it doesn't matter whether it's the anode or the cathode.
[0159] Furthermore, in the case of a light-emitting device having a top emission structure, the E of the second electrode 102 By providing an organic cap layer on the surface opposite to the surface in contact with the L layer 103, the light extraction efficiency is improved. This can be achieved. By providing an organic cap layer, the refraction at the interface between the electrode and the air can be reduced. Because the rate difference can be reduced, the light extraction efficiency can be improved. Film thickness is 5 nm or more. Preferably, it is 0 nm or less. More preferably, it is 30 nm to 90 nm. Also, organic cyanoacrylate The cap layer should preferably be an organic compound layer with a molecular weight of 300 to 1200. It is preferable that the material is an organic material having the following properties. The semi-transparent / semi-reflective electrode maintains a certain degree of light transmission. To maintain this, the film thickness needs to be thin, which may worsen conductivity. Here, organic cap By using a conductive material in the layer, the light extraction efficiency is improved while ensuring conductivity. This can improve the yield of light-emitting device fabrication. Organic compounds with low levels of [unclear] can be suitably used. The organic cap layer has EL layer 103 The organic compound used can also be used. In this case, the deposition apparatus used to deposit the EL layer 103 is also used. Alternatively, since the organic cap layer can be deposited in the deposition chamber, the organic cap layer can be deposited easily. It is possible.
[0160] The light-emitting device includes a transparent electrode provided in contact with the aforementioned reflective electrode, a hole injection layer, and holes. The thickness of the carrier transport layer is changed to alter the optical distance between the reflective electrode and the semi-transmissive / semi-reflective electrode. The (cavity length) can be changed. This allows for the reflective electrode and the semi-transparent / semi-reflective electrode. Within that range, it is possible to amplify light of resonant wavelengths and attenuate light of non-resonant wavelengths. .
[0161] Furthermore, the micro-resonant structure (microcavity structure) is the interface on the EL layer side of the reflective electrode, and semipermeable The optical distance (optical path length) between the interface on the EL layer side of the majority half-reflecting electrode is λn, which is the wavelength to be amplified. If m is a multiple of λ / 2, then it is preferable that m is an integer multiple of λ / 2.
[0162] Furthermore, of the light emitted, the light reflected back by the reflective electrode (the first reflected light) is considered to be light emission. Because it causes significant interference with the light (first incident light) that directly enters the semi-transmitting / semi-reflective electrode from the layer. The optical distance between the reflective electrode and the light-emitting layer is (2n-1)λ / 4 (where n is a natural number greater than or equal to 1). It is preferable to adjust λ to the wavelength of the light emission to be amplified. This aligns the phase of the first reflected light and the first incident light, thereby amplifying the light emitted from the light-emitting layer. It is possible.
[0163] Having a microcavity structure enhances the emission intensity in the front direction at specific wavelengths. This makes it possible to reduce power consumption. Furthermore, the probability of light entering the color conversion layer is also increased. It is possible to do so.
[0164] By the way, light narrowed through the microcavity structure has strong directivity perpendicular to the screen. It is known that the light has the following properties. On the other hand, the light that passes through the color conversion layer using the above QD is Because the light emitted from QDs and luminescent organic compounds is directed in all directions, the directionality is It has almost none. Because the light emitted from the light-emitting device is lost to the color conversion layer, the color conversion is In a display using a layered light source, the shortest wavelength light, blue light, is emitted from the light-emitting device. The light is obtained directly, and the green and red light are converted to light through a color conversion layer. Therefore, the green pixels Furthermore, differences in light distribution characteristics occur between red pixels and blue pixels. Significant differences in light distribution characteristics create viewing angle dependence, which directly leads to a deterioration in display quality. In particular, tele... When viewing on a large screen or with a large number of people, such as on video streaming services, the impact is significant.
[0165] Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, a light-emitting device has a function to diffuse light to pixels that do not go through a color conversion layer. A structure is provided that has such a structure, or a structure is provided that imparts directionality to pixels via a color conversion layer. It may have a structure.
[0166] Structures that have the function of diffusing light allow light emitted from the light-emitting device to escape to the outside of the light-emitting device. It is sufficient that it is located in the optical path. The light emitted from a light-emitting device having a micro-resonant structure is Although it has strong directionality, it is diffused by a structure that has the function of diffusing the light. This can weaken it, or make diffused light into directional light. This makes it possible to make light that has the same orientation characteristics as light that has not passed through the color conversion layer. This reduces the aforementioned dependence on the field of view.
[0167] Figures 4(A) to (C) show that the first pixel 208B emits light from the first light-emitting device 207B. The first light-emitting device is shown with a structure 205B that has the function of scattering light. Structure 205B, which has the function of scattering light emitted from 207B, is shown in Figure 4(A) and Figure 4( A layer containing a first substance that scatters light emitted from the first light-emitting device, as in B). Also, as shown in Figure 4(C), a structure having a structure that scatters light emitted from the first light-emitting device. It's fine if it's a success.
[0168] Figures 5(A) to (C) show modified versions. Figure 5(A) shows the light in Figure 4(A) Instead of structure 205B, which has a scattering function, it also incorporates the function of a blue color filter. It has a base layer (color filter 215B). Also, Figures 5(B) and (C) show light scattering. An embodiment is shown that has both a disruptive structure 205B and a blue color filter 215B. The blue color filter 215B scatters light as shown in Figures 5(B) and (C). It may be formed in contact with structure 205B which has a function, but it may also be formed in contact with other structures such as a sealing substrate. It is permissible to do so. This allows the light-emitting device to scatter directional light while further improving color purity. This improves the display. Furthermore, it can suppress the reflection of ambient light, resulting in a better display. can.
[0169] Light from the first pixel 208B passes through structure 205B, and light from the first light-emitting device 207B passes through structure 205B. By emitting the light through this medium, it becomes possible to create light with low directionality. This allows for color This mitigates the differences in light distribution characteristics, making it possible to create a light-emitting device with high display quality.
[0170] Furthermore, in the light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention shown in Figures 6(A) and (B), the first color conversion layer is Means 210G and 210R are provided to impart directionality to the light emitted. Any means may be used to impart directionality to the light emitted from the conversion layer, for example, color change A semi-transparent, semi-reflective layer can be formed on either side of the exchange layer to create a micro-resonant structure. (See Figure 6) (A) shows a configuration in which semi-transparent and semi-reflective layers are formed above and below the color conversion layer, and Figure 6(B) shows the light emission of the color conversion layer. The semi-transparent, semi-reflective layer on the device side is also used as the second electrode (semi-transparent, semi-reflective electrode) of the light-emitting device. This is the manner in which it is.
[0171] Light from the second pixel 208G and the third pixel 208R is directed towards the light emitted from the color conversion layer. By providing means 210G and 210R that impart properties, the light becomes highly directional. This makes it possible to reduce differences in light distribution characteristics due to color, resulting in high-quality illumination. It can be used as a device.
[0172] (Embodiment 2) In this embodiment, the hole injection layer 111 and of the light-emitting device 207 in Embodiment 1 This section describes organic compounds with hole-transporting properties that can be used in the hole transport layer 112. ru.
[0173] Among organic compounds with carrier transport properties that can be used in organic EL devices, One of the materials with low folding ratio is 1,1-bis-(4-bis(4-methylphenyl)- Minophenyl)cyclohexane (abbreviated as TAPC) is known. By using this material in the EL layer, it is possible to obtain a light-emitting device that exhibits high external quantum efficiency. Therefore, by using TAPC, light-emitting devices with good external quantum efficiency can be obtained. This is what is expected.
[0174] Typically, there is a trade-off between high carrier transport and low refractive index. Carrier transport in compounds largely stems from the presence of unsaturated bonds. Organic compounds that contain a large amount of TAPC tend to have a high refractive index. TAPC is a carrier. It is a substance in which transportability and a low refractive index are in perfect balance, however on the other hand So, in compounds like TAPC that have a cyclohexane 1,1-disubstituted structure, cyclo Because two bulky substituents are inserted on one carbon atom of hexane, there is significant steric repulsion. This posed a problem in terms of reliability, as it induced instability in the molecule itself. Furthermore, TAPC's structural composition consists of cyclohexane and a simple benzene ring. Consequently, it had a low glass transition temperature (Tg) and also suffered from problems with heat resistance.
[0175] One method for obtaining a highly heat-resistant and reliable hole transport material is unsaturated carbonization. It is conceivable to introduce hydrogen groups, particularly cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon groups, into the molecule. On the other hand, refractive index To obtain a material with low molecular refraction, it is preferable to introduce substituents with low molecular refraction into the molecule. Examples of such substituents include saturated hydrocarbon groups and cyclic saturated hydrocarbon groups.
[0176] Furthermore, materials used as carrier transport materials for organic EL devices have high carrier transport properties. It is preferable that the skeleton has a structure, and among these, the aromatic amine skeleton is a preferred skeleton because it has high hole transport properties. Therefore, to further improve carrier transportability, a method of introducing two amine skeletons is also being considered. It can be obtained. However, as with the TAPC mentioned above, the environment of the substituents placed around it However, the diamine structure can sometimes be detrimental to reliability.
[0177] Overcoming trade-offs, it combines carrier transportability, low refractive index, and high reliability. As a compound, the present inventors have formed a bond using sp3 hybrid orbitals that constitute a saturated hydrocarbon group. We found a monoamine compound in which the proportion of carbon atoms is within a certain range. In particular, the monoamine The compound has good reliability comparable to conventional hole injection layer materials with a normal refractive index. It is a material. Furthermore, it has carbon atoms that form bonds in the sp3 hybrid orbitals of the monoamine compound. By optimizing the number of substituents and their substitution positions, materials with better properties can be created. It is possible.
[0178] In other words, an organic compound according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a first aromatic ring, a second aromatic ring and a third aromatic ring A monoamine compound in which the ring is directly bonded to the nitrogen atom of the amine, and the monoamination Hole transport layer of an organic EL device, where the refractive index of the composite layer is 1.5 to 1.75. It is a material for use and a material for hole injection layers. The monoamine compound has a total number of carbon atoms in the molecule. The proportion of carbon atoms forming bonds in sp3 hybrid orbitals is between 23% and 55%. preferable.
[0179] Substituents composed of carbon atoms forming bonds in sp3 hybrid orbitals are what are known as saturated hydrocarbon groups. Because it is a cyclic saturated hydrocarbon group, its molecular refraction is low. Therefore, the bonds are formed by sp3 hybrid orbitals. The monoamine in question has a carbon content of 23% to 55% of the total carbon atoms in the molecule. The compound can be used as a material for hole transport layers and hole injection layers with a low refractive index. It is possible.
[0180] Furthermore, the above monoamine compounds are 1 Results from measurements using H-NMR showed that 4 ppm was not present. It is preferable that the integral value of the full signal exceeds the integral value of the signal at 4 ppm or higher. Signals below ppm represent chain or cyclic saturated hydrocarbon groups, and this integral value is less than 4 ppm. Exceeding the integral value of the signal above means that the number of hydrogen atoms constituting the saturated hydrocarbon group is This means that there are more hydrogen atoms than make up an unsaturated hydrocarbon. The proportion of carbon atoms in which bonds are formed solely by sp3 hybrid orbitals can be estimated. Here, unsaturated The carbon atoms in a hydrocarbon group have fewer bonds that can bond with hydrogen, for example, benzene and cyclohydrogen. If we compare them using xanes, C6H6 and C6H 12 There is a difference. When this difference is taken into account,1 HN In the results measured by MR, the integral value of signals less than 4 ppm is greater than or equal to 4 ppm. Exceeding the integral value of the signal means that of the carbon atoms that make up the molecule, saturated hydrocarbons This indicates that carbon atoms, which are involved in the formation of the molecule, make up approximately one-third of the total. As such, the monoamine compound becomes an organic compound with a low refractive index, and is used as a material for hole transport layers. It can be suitably used as a material for hole injection layers.
[0181] Furthermore, it is preferable that the monoamine compound has at least one fluorene skeleton. i. The hole transport properties of monoamine compounds having a fluorene skeleton are improved, and the monoamine The compound was used as either a material for the hole transport layer or a material for the hole injection layer, or both. The light-emitting device can be made into a light-emitting device with a good drive voltage. The ruolene skeleton is one of the first aromatic ring, the second aromatic ring, and the third aromatic ring described above. The direct bonding with the nitrogen atom of the amine contributes to shallowing the HOMO level of the molecule. This is preferable because it makes it easier to transfer items between halls.
[0182] Furthermore, when the above monoamine compound is formed into a film by vapor deposition, its molecular weight is 400 or more. It is preferable that it be 1000 or less.
[0183] The monoamine compounds described above will be explained in more detail below.
[0184] The monoamine compound has a first aromatic ring, a second aromatic ring, and a third aromatic ring attached to the nitrogen atom of the amine. These are triarylamine derivatives to which aromatic rings are attached. The ring is bonded to the nitrogen atom of the amine.
[0185] The first aromatic ring and the second aromatic ring each independently contain 1 to 3 benzene rings. Furthermore, it is preferable that both the first and second aromatic rings are hydrocarbon rings.
[0186] If the first aromatic ring and the second aromatic ring have two or three benzene rings, then two or Preferably, the three benzene rings are substituents bonded to each other. The aromatic rings 1 and 2 are composed of a phenyl group, a biphenyl group, a terphenyl group, and a naphthyl group. A phenyl group is preferred.
[0187] Furthermore, either or both of the first and second aromatic rings have 1 to 12 carbon atoms. It has one or more hydrocarbon groups in which carbon atoms form bonds using only sp3 hybrid orbitals. Yes, they are.
[0188] The above monoamine compound may contain either or both of the first and second aromatic rings. The above-mentioned hydrocarbons have 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and the carbon atoms form bonds only through sp3 hybrid orbitals. The total number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon group to which the group is bonded, but which is bonded to one aromatic ring. The hydrocarbon group is 6 or greater and is bonded to the first aromatic ring and the second aromatic ring. The total number of carbon atoms contained in it shall be 8 or more, preferably 12 or more. Because the above hydrocarbon groups are bonded in this manner, the above monoamine compound has a refractive index It can be expressed as a small organic compound.
[0189] Furthermore, the total number of carbon atoms contained in the hydrocarbon groups bonded to the first and second aromatic rings. To maintain good carrier transportability, it is preferable that it be 36 or less, and more preferably 30 or less. It is preferable. As mentioned above, having more π electrons derived from the unsaturated bonds of carbon atoms is preferable for carriers. It is advantageous for transportation.
[0190] As a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms and forming bonds only with sp3 hybrid orbitals, Preferably, alkyl groups having 3 to 8 carbon atoms and cycloalkyl groups having 6 to 12 carbon atoms. Specifically, propyl group, isopropyl group, butyl group, sec-butyl group, isobutyl group, tert-butyl group, pentyl group, isopentyl group, sec-pentyl group, tert -Pentyl group, neopentyl group, hexyl group, isohexyl group, sec-hexyl group, t ert-hexyl group, neohexyl group, heptyl group, octyl group, cyclohexyl group, 4 -Methylcyclohexyl group, cycloheptyl group, cyclooctyl group, cyclononyl group, cy Clodecyl group, decahydronaphthyl group, cycloundecyl group, and cyclododecyl group, etc. It can be used, and in particular, t-butyl group, cyclohexyl group and cyclododecyl group preferable.
[0191] Furthermore, the third aromatic ring may be a substituted or unsubstituted monoring or a substituted or unsubstituted triring or less. Assume that it is a fused ring. As the number of rings in the fused ring increases, the refractive index tends to increase, This allows the refractive index to be kept low. Similarly, as the number of fused rings increases, Because absorption and emission of light in the visible region can be observed, materials with small effects of absorption and emission are less likely to be affected. This can be done. Furthermore, in order to maintain a low refractive index, the carbon of the third aromatic ring is... The number is preferably 6 to 13. Aromatic rings that can be used as a third aromatic ring and Specifically, these include benzene rings, naphthalene rings, fluorene rings, acenaphthylene rings, etc. One example is the third aromatic ring, which has good hole transport properties. It is preferable that a fluorene ring is included, and more preferably a fluorene ring.
[0192] Monoamine compounds having the above configuration are organic compounds that possess hole transport properties and a low refractive index. Because it is a composite material, it can be used as a material for the hole transport layer or hole injection layer of an organic EL device. It can be suitably used. Furthermore, the hole transport layer material or hole injection layer material can be used. Because organic EL devices have hole transport layers and hole injection layers with low refractive indices, High luminescence efficiency, i.e., external quantum efficiency, current efficiency, and blue index, It can be used as a chair. Also, the hole transport layer material or hole injection layer material can be used The EL device uses a monoamine compound as the material for the hole transport layer or the material for the hole injection layer. Yes, it limits the number of aromatic rings bonded to the saturated hydrocarbon group, thereby reducing steric repulsion. This improves the stability of molecules, resulting in a luminescent device with a good lifespan. It can be made into S.
[0193] Furthermore, among the monoamine compounds mentioned above, the organic compound represented by the following general formula (G1) is particularly noteworthy. preferable.

[0232] (Embodiment 3) This embodiment describes a display device using the light-emitting device described in Embodiment 1.
[0233] In this embodiment, regarding the display device manufactured using the light-emitting device described in Embodiment 1: This will be explained using Figure 7. Note that Figure 7(A) is a top view showing the display device, and Figure 7(B) is a top view showing Figure 7. This is a cross-sectional view of (A) cut along AB and CD. This display device is a light-emitting device.

Also, 604 is a sealing substrate. 605 is a sealing material, and the area enclosed by the sealing material 605 is a space 607. .
[0234] The routing wire 608 is input to the source line drive circuit 601 and the gate line drive circuit 603. FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) is a wiring system for transmitting signals and serves as an external input terminal. (Input circuit) 609 receives video signals, clock signals, start signals, reset signals, etc. Receive. Note that only the FPC is shown in the diagram here, but this FPC has a print distribution.

And a pixel section is formed, but here, the source line drive circuit 601 which is the drive circuit section and One pixel in the pixel section 602 is shown.
[0236] The element substrate 610 is a substrate made of glass, quartz, organic resin, metal, alloy, semiconductor, etc. FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics), PVF (Polyvinyl Fiber) It is made using a plastic substrate made of fluoride, polyester, or acrylic. That's all you need to do.
[0237] The structure of transistors used in pixels and driving circuits is not particularly limited. For example, inverse staggered It can be a type of transistor or a staggered transistor. Also, top Either a gate-type transistor or a bottom-gate transistor is acceptable. The semiconductor material is not particularly limited, and examples include silicon, germanium, silicon carbide, nitride Gallium can be used, or an In-Ga-Zn metal oxide can be used. An oxide semiconductor containing at least one of the elements, such as zinc, gallium, and zinc, may also be used.
[0238] The crystallinity of semiconductor materials used in transistors is not particularly limited; amorphous semiconductors, Crystalline semiconductors (microcrystalline semiconductors, polycrystalline semiconductors, single-crystal semiconductors, or semiconductors with a crystalline region in part) Any semiconductor having the properties of [the semiconductor material] may be used. If a semiconductor having crystalline properties is used, transients may occur. This is preferable because it suppresses the deterioration of the stanic characteristics.
[0239] Here, in addition to the transistors provided in the pixels and driving circuits mentioned above, the touch sensors and the like described later are also included. It is preferable to use oxide semiconductors for semiconductor devices such as transistors. It is particularly preferable to use oxide semiconductors with a wider band gap than silicon. By using an oxide semiconductor with a wider band gap than Ricon, the off state of the transistor can be controlled. The current in this state can be reduced.
[0240] The above oxide semiconductor preferably contains at least indium (In) or zinc (Zn). It is also In-M-Zn oxides (where M is Al, Ti, Ga, Ge, Y, Zr, Sn, It is an oxide semiconductor containing an oxide (such as a metal like La, Ce, or Hf). It is preferable.
[0241] Herein, an oxide semiconductor that can be used in one aspect of the present invention will be described below. .
[0242] Oxide semiconductors are divided into single-crystal oxide semiconductors and other non-single-crystal oxide semiconductors. As a non-single-crystal oxide semiconductor, for example, CAAC-OS (c-axis ali gned crystalline oxide semiconductor), polycrystalline crystalline oxide semiconductor, nc-OS (nano crystalline oxide sem iconductor), pseudo-amorphous oxide semiconductor (a-like OS: amorph (Amorphous-like oxide semiconductor), and amorphous oxide semiconductor It contains conductors, etc.
[0243] CAAC-OS has c-axis orientation and multiple nanocrystals are linked in the ab-plane direction. Furthermore, it has a distorted crystal structure. Note that distortion refers to the region where multiple nanocrystals are connected. Within the region, between a region with aligned lattice arrangements and another region with aligned lattice arrangements, This refers to the part where the direction has changed.
[0244] Nanocrystals are based on a hexagonal structure, but they are not necessarily regular hexagons; they can also be non-regular hexagonal. Yes, it exists. Furthermore, the distortion may have lattice arrangements such as pentagons and heptagons. Furthermore, in CAAC-OS, even near strain, clear grain boundaries (grain bounds) are present. It is difficult to confirm (also called Dally) the crystal grains. In other words, due to the distortion of the lattice arrangement, It can be seen that the formation of the boundary is suppressed. This is because CAAC-OS is in the ab-plane direction. The oxygen atoms are not densely arranged, and the substitution of metal elements reduces the bond distance between atoms. This is because distortion can be tolerated through changes and other processes.
[0245] Furthermore, CAAC-OS consists of a layer containing indium and oxygen (hereinafter referred to as the In layer), and elements A layered crystalline structure in which layers containing M, zinc, and oxygen (hereinafter referred to as (M,Zn) layers) are stacked. It tends to have a layered structure (also called a structure). Furthermore, indium and element M are substituted for each other. It is possible, and if element M in the (M,Zn) layer is replaced with indium, then (In,M,Zn) It can also be represented as a layer. Furthermore, if the indium in the In layer is substituted with element M, then (In,M It can also be represented as a layer.
[0246] CAAC-OS is a highly crystalline oxide semiconductor. On the other hand, CAAC-OS has a clear bond. Because it is difficult to confirm grain boundaries, a decrease in electron mobility caused by grain boundaries is less likely to occur. It can be said that... Furthermore, the crystallinity of oxide semiconductors decreases due to the inclusion of impurities and the generation of defects. Because this can occur, CAAC-OS may contain impurities or defects (oxygen deficiencies (V O :oxygen It can also be described as an oxide semiconductor with low vacancy (also called CAA). Therefore, CAA Oxide semiconductors containing C-OS exhibit stable physical properties. Therefore, CAAC-OS The oxide semiconductors it possesses are highly heat-resistant and reliable.
[0247] nc-OS is used in minute regions (for example, regions between 1 nm and 10 nm, especially between 1 nm and 3 nm). It has periodicity in the atomic arrangement in the region of less than nm. Furthermore, nc-OS has different nanometers. No regularity in crystal orientation is observed between crystals. Therefore, no orientation is observed throughout the entire film. Therefore, depending on the analysis method, nc-OS can be classified as a-like OS or amorphous oxide semiconductor. It can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between them.
[0248] Furthermore, indium is a type of oxide semiconductor containing indium, gallium, and zinc. Um-gallium-zinc oxide (hereinafter referred to as IGZO) is stable when formed into the nanocrystals described above. It may take on a structure. In particular, IGZO tends to have difficulty growing crystals in the atmosphere. Smaller crystals (for example) are preferable to larger crystals (here, crystals of a few millimeters or a few centimeters). In some cases, using the aforementioned nanocrystal structure may result in greater structural stability.
[0249] a-like OS is an oxide semiconductor having a structure between nc-OS and amorphous oxide semiconductors. It is a conductor. a-like OS has porous or low-density regions. That is, a-li ke OS has lower crystallinity compared to nc-OS and CAAC-OS.
[0250] Oxide semiconductors can take on diverse structures, each possessing different properties. One embodiment of the present invention Oxide semiconductors include amorphous oxide semiconductors, polycrystalline oxide semiconductors, a-like OS, and nc -OS and CAAC-OS may have two or more types.
[0251] In addition to the oxide semiconductors mentioned above, CAC (Cloud-Aligned Comp You may also use osite)-OS.
[0252] CAC-OS refers to a material that possesses both conductive and insulating properties in some parts. Furthermore, the material as a whole possesses semiconductor functionality. Note that CAC-OS is used in transistors. When used in the active layer, the conductive function is to allow electrons (or holes) that act as carriers to flow. The insulating function is the function of preventing the flow of electrons, which act as carriers. By having the insulating function and the switching function work complementaryly, the switching function (O The function to turn on / off can be added to CAC-OS. By separating each function, it is possible to maximize the performance of both.
[0253] Furthermore, CAC-OS has conductive regions and insulating regions. The conductive region is the conductive region described above. It has electrical properties, and the insulating region has the aforementioned insulating properties. Furthermore, in the material In some cases, the conductive region and the insulating region are separated at the nanoparticle level. The electrically conductive region and the insulating region may be unevenly distributed within the material. In some cases, the surrounding area may appear blurred and connected in a cloud-like manner.
[0254] Furthermore, in CAC-OS, the conductive region and the insulating region are each 0.5 nm or greater. In the case where particles are dispersed in the material with a size of 10 nm or less, preferably 0.5 nm to 3 nm. There is a match.
[0255] Furthermore, CAC-OS is composed of components with different band gaps. For example, CAC-OS consists of a component with a wide gap due to the insulating region and a component that occurs in the conductive region. It is composed of a component having a narrow gap due to and . In this configuration, the carrier When flowing, the carrier mainly flows in the component with a narrow gap. Components with gaps act complementaryly with components with wide gaps, and narrow gaps In conjunction with the component having a gap, the carrier also flows to the component having a wide gap. When the above CAC-OS is used in the channel formation region of a transistor, the transistor In the ON state, a high current driving force, i.e., a large ON current and high field effect mobility are obtained. It is possible.
[0256] In other words, CAC-OS is a matrix composite. , or metal matrix composite and It can also be referred to as such.
[0257] By using the aforementioned oxide semiconductor material as the semiconductor layer, fluctuations in electrical properties are suppressed, and reliability This enables the creation of highly reliable transistors.
[0258] Furthermore, due to its low off-current, the transistor having the aforementioned semiconductor layer can be used to... This makes it possible to retain the charge stored in the capacity over a long period of time. By applying a generator to each pixel, the gradation of the image displayed in each display area is maintained while driving It also becomes possible to shut down the circuit. As a result, it is possible to realize electronic devices with extremely reduced power consumption. It can be expressed.
[0259] It is preferable to provide an undercoat to stabilize the characteristics of the transistor. The undercoat may be: Inorganic silicon oxide films, silicon nitride films, silicon oxide-nitride films, silicon nitride-oxide films, etc. It can be fabricated using an insulating film, either as a single layer or in a multilayer configuration. The underlayer is fabricated by sputtering. CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method (Plasma CVD method) , thermal CVD method, MOCVD (Metal Organic CVD) method, ALD ( Formed using methods such as Atomic Layer Deposition, coating, and printing. Yes, it is possible. However, a base coat does not need to be applied unless necessary.
[0260] Note that FET623 is one of the transistors formed in the drive circuit section 601. Furthermore, the drive circuit is formed using various CMOS, PMOS, or NMOS circuits. This is sufficient. Furthermore, this embodiment shows a driver-integrated type in which the drive circuit is formed on the substrate. However, this is not always necessary, and the drive circuit can be formed externally rather than on the circuit board. .
[0261] Furthermore, the pixel section 602 includes a switching FET 611 and a current control FET 612 and its drive It is formed by multiple pixels, including an anode 613 electrically connected to the rain, The pixel section may also be a combination of three or more FETs and a capacitive element.
[0262] Furthermore, an insulator 614 is formed covering the end of the anode 613. Here, a positive type sensor It can be formed by using light-sensitive acrylic.
[0263] Furthermore, in order to ensure good coverage of the EL layer and other layers formed later, the upper end of the insulator 614 is Alternatively, a curved surface with curvature is formed at the lower end. For example, the material of the insulator 614 and When a positive-type photosensitive acrylic is used, the radius of curvature (0.) is only at the upper end of the insulator 614. It is preferable to have a curved surface having a thickness of 2 μm to 3 μm. Also, as the insulator 614, Either a negative-type or positive-type photosensitive resin can be used.
[0264] An EL layer 616 and a cathode 617 are formed on the anode 613, respectively. Therefore, it is desirable to use a material with a large work function for the anode 613. For example, an ITO film, or an indium tin oxide film containing silicon, 2-20 wt% oxidation Indium oxide film containing zinc, titanium nitride film, chromium film, tungsten film, Zn film, Pt In addition to single-layer films such as membranes, lamination of titanium nitride films and films mainly composed of aluminum, titanium nitride A three-layer structure consisting of a film, a film mainly composed of aluminum, and a titanium nitride film can be used. Furthermore, a laminated structure results in low resistance as wiring and good ohmic contact. Furthermore, it can be used as an anode.

[0276] Figure 8 shows a light-emitting device that emits blue light, and by providing a color conversion layer, full color An example of a light-emitting device with a luminescent coating is shown.

The colored layer may be provided between the substrate 1001 and the sealing substrate 1031.
[0279] Furthermore, in the light-emitting device described above, light is taken to the substrate 1001 side on which the FET is formed. Although a light-emitting device with a bottom-emission structure was used, the light emission was taken from the sealing substrate 1031 side. It can also be used as a light-emitting device with a projection structure (top emission type). A cross-sectional view of the light-emitting device is shown in Figure 9. In this case, the substrate 1001 is a substrate that does not transmit light. This can be done. Until the connecting electrode that connects the FET and the anode of the light-emitting device is fabricated, the bottle It is formed in the same way as a muemission-type light-emitting device. Then, the third interlayer insulating film 1037 is electrically... It is formed covering pole 1022. This insulating film may also play a planarization role.

[0282] The insulating layer 1038 is a protective layer that prevents impurities from diffusing into the light-emitting device. The insulating layer 1038 may be an oxide, nitride, fluoride, sulfide, ternary compound, metal or Polymers can be used, for example, aluminum oxide, hafnium oxide, hafnium Um silicate, lanthanum oxide, silicon dioxide, strontium titanate, tantalum oxide, acid Titanium oxide, zinc oxide, niobium oxide, zirconium oxide, tin oxide, yttrium oxide, acid Cerium oxide, scandium oxide, erbium oxide, vanadium oxide, or indium oxide Materials containing the following, as well as aluminum nitride, hafnium nitride, silicon nitride, tantalum nitride, and crystalline nitride.

[0283] The space 1030 may be filled with resin. The resin has a refractive index of 1.4 to 2.0. It is preferably a resin, and more preferably has a refractive index of 1.7 to 1.9. The presence of a layer with a relatively high refractive index between the transparent electrode and the color conversion layer allows light to be converted into thin-film modes.

Furthermore, the light of the resonant wavelength is amplified between the reflective electrode and the semitransmissive / semi-reflective electrode, causing resonance. It can attenuate light of wavelengths that are not present.
[0289] Furthermore, the light reflected back by the reflective electrode (the first reflected light) is semi-transmitted from the light-emitting layer. • Because it causes significant interference with the light (first incident light) that directly enters the semi-reflecting electrode, the reflective electrode and The optical distance of the light-emitting layer is (2n-1)λ / 4 (where n is a natural number greater than or equal to 1, and λ is amplified). It is preferable to adjust the wavelength of the emitted light. By adjusting the optical distance, the first By aligning the phase of the reflected light and the first incident light, the light emitted from the light-emitting layer can be further amplified. ru.
[0290] Furthermore, in the above configuration, even if the EL layer has a structure with multiple light-emitting layers, a single light-emitting layer The structure may have layers, for example, in combination with the configuration of the tandem light-emitting device described above. In addition, multiple EL layers are provided in a single light-emitting device with a charge generation layer in between, and each EL This can also be applied to configurations in which one or more light-emitting layers are formed in a layer.

For the measurement, each layer of material was deposited on a quartz substrate using vacuum deposition, with a thickness of approximately 50 nm. A film was used. Note that the figure shows n, the refractive index of ordinary light, and an abnormal film. The refractive index of light rays, n and extraordinary, are listed.
[0352] Thus, these organic compounds were found to be materials with low refractive indices. [Examples]
[0353] In this embodiment, a light-emitting device 1 according to one aspect of the present invention, in which the refractive index of the hole transport layer is small, and a normal refraction Regarding the ratio comparison light emission device 1, the amount of light reaching the color conversion layer was calculated from the simulation. The results are shown below.
[0354] The calculation is performed using an organic device simulator (semiconducting emissiv e thin film optics simulator:setfos; cybernetic The experiment was conducted using (Net System Co., Ltd.). The light-emitting region was fixed in the center of the light-emitting layer, and the organic layer was refraction. Assuming the refractive index is 1.6 for materials with a low refractive index and 1.9 for materials with a normal refractive index, the wavelength dispersion is None was chosen. The film thickness of each layer is determined by the blue index (B) when the refractive index of the color conversion layer is 1. The system was optimized to maximize I). The emission spectrum is as shown in Figure 27. It was assumed that the light emission was possessed. Furthermore, the light-emitting device extracts light from the cathode side. As a mission-type light-emitting device, the total optical path length between the anode-side reflective electrode and the cathode is The thickness of the hole transport layer was adjusted to be an integer multiple of λ / 2. A QD was used in the color conversion layer. Assuming its presence, the calculation was performed taking into account the quench due to the Purcell effect. The stacked structure of the light-emitting device is shown in the table below.

[0356] The refractive index and extinction coefficient for Ag, ITSO, and Ag:Mg were taken from the material's physical properties. Ta.
[0357] Under the above conditions, the amount of light reaching the color conversion layer when the refractive index of the color conversion layer is changed. The change was calculated. The amount of light reaching the color conversion layer is calculated for a device structure where the color conversion layer does not absorb light. The light extraction efficiency and the sum of the guide modes in the color conversion layer were calculated. The results are shown in Figure 1. This is shown on page 28.
[0358] As shown in Figure 28, by lowering the refractive index of the hole transport layer, the refractive index of the color conversion layer can be brought within a practical range. It was found that the amount of light reaching the color conversion layer increases. An increase in QD means that more excitation light reaches the color conversion layer, resulting in more QDs. It can be excited.

[0361] (Method for fabricating light-emitting device 1) First, silver (Ag) is sputtered onto a glass substrate as a reflective electrode at a rate of 100 nm. A film is formed to the specified thickness, followed by the use of indium tin oxide (ITSO) containing silicon oxide as a transparent electrode. The first electrode 101 was formed by depositing a film with a thickness of 10 nm using the sputtering method. Oh, the electrode area is 4mm². 2 (2mm x 2mm)
[0362] Next, as a pretreatment for forming a light-emitting device on the substrate, the substrate surface is washed with water, and 2 After firing at 0°C for 1 hour, UV ozone treatment was performed for 370 seconds.
[0363] Then, 10 -4 A substrate is introduced into a vacuum deposition apparatus where the internal pressure is reduced to approximately Pa, and then vacuum deposition is performed. After vacuum firing at 170°C for 30 minutes in the heating chamber of the apparatus, the substrate is left for approximately 30 minutes. It was allowed to cool.
[0364] Next, the first electrode 101 is formed such that the surface on which the first electrode 101 is formed faces downwards. The prepared substrate is fixed to a substrate holder provided inside the vacuum deposition apparatus, and on the first electrode 101, By vapor deposition, N,N-bis(4-cyclohexylphenyl) represented by the above structural formula (i) -9,9,-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-amine (abbreviation: dchPAF) and electrons The xepta material (OCHD-001) and the dchPAF are mixed in a weight ratio of 1:0.05 (=dchPAF:OC A hole injection layer 111 was formed by co-depositing 10 nm to create HD-001.
[0365] A hole transport layer 112 was formed on the hole injection layer 111 by depositing 125 nm of dchPAF. .

[0367] Subsequently, 9-(1-naphthyl)-10-[4-(2-naphthyl], represented by the above structural formula (iii), is found. [Phthyl)phenyl]anthracene (abbreviation: αN-βNPAnth) and the above structural formula (iv ) represented as 3,10-bis[N-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-2-yl)- N-phenylamino]naphtho[2,3-b;6,7-b']bisbenzofuran (abbreviation: 3 ,10PCA2Nbf(IV)-02) and by weight ratio 1:0.015 (=αN-βNP Anth:3,10PCA2Nbf(IV)-02) is generated by co-depositing at 25nm. A photon layer 113 was formed.
[0368] Subsequently, the structure represented by the above structural formula (v) is 2-{4-[9,10-di(2-naphthyl)-2 -Anthryl]phenyl}-1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole (abbreviation: ZADN) ) and 8-quinolinolato-lithium (abbreviation: Liq) represented by the above structural formula (vi) , 30nm co-deposited so that the weight ratio is 1:1 (=ZADN:Liq) to form the electron transport layer 1 Formed 14.
[0369] After the formation of the electron transport layer 114, a film of Liq is deposited to a thickness of 1 nm to form the electron injection layer 115. Finally, silver (Ag) and magnesium (Mg) were mixed in a volume ratio of 10:1, with a film thickness of 15 nm. The second electrode 102 was formed by co-deposition in a certain manner, and the light-emitting device 1 was fabricated. Oh, the second electrode 102 has the function of reflecting light and the function of transmitting light, making it semi-transmissive and semi-reflective. The electrode is a top-emission type, and this light-emitting device extracts light from the second electrode 102. This is the device. Also, on the second electrode 102, represented by the above structural formula (vii), 3,5-tri(dibenzothiophen-4-yl)-benzene (abbreviation: DBT3P-II) The light extraction efficiency is improved by depositing a 70nm layer.
[0370] (Method for fabricating light-emitting device 2) Light-emitting device 2 uses dchPAF, which was used in the hole injection layer and hole transport layer of light-emitting device 1. The above structural formula (viii) represents N-(1,1'-biphenyl-4-yl)-9,9 -dimethyl-N-[4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazole-3-yl)phenyl]- By replacing it with 9H-fluorene-2-amine (abbreviation: PCBBiF), the thickness of the hole transport layer was increased to 11 Except for setting the wavelength to 0 nm, the device was fabricated in the same manner as light-emitting device 1.
[0371] The element structures of light-emitting device 1 and light-emitting device 2 are summarized in the table below.

[0373] Furthermore, dchPAF is a material whose refractive index for light with a wavelength of 467 nm is 1.75 or less. Yes, and other organic compounds have a refractive index greater than 1.75 for light with a wavelength of 467 nm. It is a significant substance. Figure 35 shows the results of measuring the refractive indices of dchPAF and PCBBiF.
[0374] When anisotropy occurs in a material, the refractive index relative to ordinary light (ordinary refractive index) The refractive index for extraordinary light (extra-ordinary refractive index) is different. There is such a condition. If the thin film to be measured is in such a state, anisotropy analysis can be performed to determine the normal photorefractometer. The refractive index can be calculated by separating it into refractive index and anomalous refractive index. In this case, if the measured material has both an ordinary refractive index and an extraordinary refractive index, the ordinary refractive index... This is used as an indicator.
[0375] The above light-emitting device is placed in a glove box under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the light-emitting device is exposed to the air. The process of sealing the element with a glass substrate to prevent exposure (applying UV-curable sealant around the element) The coating process involves irradiating only the sealing material with UV light, ensuring that the light-emitting device is not irradiated, and then applying atmospheric pressure. After heat treatment at 80°C for 1 hour (as shown below), the initial characteristics of these light-emitting devices were measured. They did that.

For measuring chromaticity, CIE chromaticity, and emission spectrum, a spectroradiometer (Topcon SR-UL) is used. Measurements were taken at room temperature using 1R).
[0377] [Table 3]
[0378] From Figures 29 to 34 and Table 3, in the blue light emission region, materials with a refractive index of 1.75 or less The light-emitting device 1 used has better current efficiency and blue index compared to light-emitting device 2. It was found to be a light-emitting device that exhibits a color change. Such a light-emitting device is used as a color conversion layer.
