  • ELD components include an inorganic electroluminescent device and an organic electroluminescent device (hereinafter referred to as an organic EL device).
  • Inorganic electroluminescent devices have been used as flat light sources, but high voltage AC is required to drive the light emitting devices.
  • An organic EL device has a structure in which a light-emitting layer containing a compound that emits light is sandwiched between a cathode and an anode. Electrons and holes are injected into the light-emitting layer and recombined to generate excitons.
  • a stilbene derivative, a distyrylarylene derivative or a tris styrylarylene derivative is doped with a small amount of a phosphor to achieve an improvement in light emission luminance and a long life of the device. .

  • the generation ratio of a luminescent excited species is 25% because the generation ratio between a singlet exciton and a triplet exciton is 1: 3, Since the light extraction efficiency is about 20%, the limit of the external extraction quantum efficiency (ext) is 5%.
  • the upper limit of the internal quantum efficiency is 100. / o, so the luminous efficiency power is four times higher in principle than in the case of singlet excitation, and it is possible to obtain almost the same performance as a cold-cathode tube. .
  • Onoleto metal iodide complexes in which the central metal is platinum instead of iridium, have also attracted attention.
  • this type of complex there are many known examples in which ligands are characterized (for example, see Patent Documents:! To 5 and Non-Patent Document 1).
  • the light emission luminance and the light emission efficiency of the light emitting element are greatly improved as compared with the conventional element because the emitted light is derived from phosphorescence.
  • the light emission lifetime is shorter than that of the conventional device.
  • phosphorescent high-efficiency light-emitting materials are difficult to shorten the emission wavelength and improve the light-emitting life of the device, and can achieve sufficient performance for practical use. .

  • a ligand for example, see Patent Documents 6 to 13 and Non-Patent Documents:! To 4
  • the emission wavelength of the light-emitting material is shortened. While blue can be achieved and a highly efficient device can be achieved, the emission lifetime of the device tends to be degraded, and improvement of the trade-off has been required.

技術分野  Technical field
[0001] 本発明は、有機エレクト口ルミネッセンス素子材料、有機エレクト口ルミネッセンス素 子、表示装置及び照明装置に関する。  The present invention relates to a material for an organic electroluminescent device, a device for an organic electroluminescent device, a display device, and a lighting device.
背景技術  Background art
[0002] 従来、発光型の電子ディスプレイデバイスとして、エレクト口ルミネッセンスディスプレ ィ(以下、 ELDという)がある。 ELDの構成要素としては、無機エレクト口ルミネッセン ス素子や有機エレクト口ルミネッセンス素子(以下、有機 EL素子とレ、う)が挙げられる 。無機エレクト口ルミネッセンス素子は平面型光源として使用されてきたが、発光素子 を駆動させるためには交流の高電圧が必要である。有機 EL素子は、発光する化合 物を含有する発光層を陰極と陽極で挟んだ構成を有し、発光層に電子及び正孔を 注入して、再結合させることにより励起子(エキシトン)を生成させ、このエキシトンが 失活する際の光の放出(蛍光'燐光)を利用して発光する素子であり、数 V〜数十 V 程度の電圧で発光が可能であり、さらに、 自己発光型であるために視野角に富み、 視認性が高ぐ薄膜型の完全固体素子であるために省スペース、携帯性等の観点か ら注目されている。  [0002] Conventionally, there is an electroluminescent display (hereinafter, referred to as ELD) as a light-emitting electronic display device. ELD components include an inorganic electroluminescent device and an organic electroluminescent device (hereinafter referred to as an organic EL device). Inorganic electroluminescent devices have been used as flat light sources, but high voltage AC is required to drive the light emitting devices. An organic EL device has a structure in which a light-emitting layer containing a compound that emits light is sandwiched between a cathode and an anode. Electrons and holes are injected into the light-emitting layer and recombined to generate excitons. This is an element that emits light by using light emission (fluorescence) when this exciton is deactivated. It can emit light at a voltage of several volts to several tens of volts. Because of this, it is a thin-film type solid-state device that has a wide viewing angle and high visibility, and is attracting attention from the viewpoint of space saving and portability.
[0003] し力 ながら、今後の実用化に向けた有機 EL素子においては、さらに低消費電力 で効率よく高輝度に発光する有機 EL素子の開発が望まれている。  [0003] However, in organic EL devices for practical use in the future, there is a demand for the development of an organic EL device that emits light with high efficiency and low power consumption.
[0004] 特許第 3093796号明細書では、スチルベン誘導体、ジスチリルァリーレン誘導体 またはトリススチリルァリーレン誘導体に、微量の蛍光体をドープし、発光輝度の向上 、素子の長寿命化を達成している。  [0004] In the specification of Japanese Patent No. 3093796, a stilbene derivative, a distyrylarylene derivative or a tris styrylarylene derivative is doped with a small amount of a phosphor to achieve an improvement in light emission luminance and a long life of the device. .
[0005] また、 8—ヒドロキシキノリンアルミニウム錯体をホストイ匕合物として、これに微量の蛍 光体をドープした有機発光層を有する素子(例えば、特開昭 63— 264692号公報) 、 8—ヒドロキシキノリンアルミニウム錯体をホストイ匕合物として、これにキナクリドン系 色素をドープした有機発光層を有する素子(例えば、特開平 3— 255190号公報)等 が知られている。 [0005] Further, an element having an organic light-emitting layer obtained by using an 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum complex as a host conjugate and adding a small amount of a phosphor thereto (for example, JP-A-63-264692); A device having an organic light emitting layer in which a quinoline aluminum complex is used as a host conjugate and doped with a quinacridone dye (for example, JP-A-3-255190) It has been known.
[0006] 以上のように、励起一重項からの発光を用いる場合、一重項励起子と三重項励起 子の生成比が 1: 3であるため発光性励起種の生成確率が 25%であり、光の取り出し 効率が約 20%であるため、外部取り出し量子効率( ext)の限界は 5%とされている  [0006] As described above, when light emission from an excited singlet is used, the generation ratio of a luminescent excited species is 25% because the generation ratio between a singlet exciton and a triplet exciton is 1: 3, Since the light extraction efficiency is about 20%, the limit of the external extraction quantum efficiency (ext) is 5%.
[0007] ところ力 プリンストン大より励起三重項からの燐光発光を用いる有機 EL素子の報 告(M. A. Baldo et al., nature, 395卷、 151 _ 154ページ(1998年))力 Sされ て以来、室温で燐光を示す材料の研究が活発になってきている。 [0007] However, a report on organic EL devices using phosphorescence from triplets excited by Princeton University (MA Baldo et al., Nature, vol. 395, pp. 151-154 (1998)) Research on materials that show phosphorescence at room temperature has become active.
[0008] 例えば M. A. Baldo et al., nature, 403卷、 17号、 750— 753ページ(2000 年)、また米国特許第 6, 097, 147号明細書等にも開示されている。  [0008] For example, it is disclosed in M. A. Baldo et al., Nature, Vol. 403, No. 17, pp. 750-753 (2000), and in US Pat. No. 6,097,147.
[0009] 励起三重項を使用すると、内部量子効率の上限が 100。/oとなるため、励起一重項 の場合に比べて原理的に発光効率力 S4倍となり、冷陰極管とほぼ同等の性能が得ら れる可能性があることから照明用途としても注目されている。  [0009] When the excited triplet is used, the upper limit of the internal quantum efficiency is 100. / o, so the luminous efficiency power is four times higher in principle than in the case of singlet excitation, and it is possible to obtain almost the same performance as a cold-cathode tube. .
[0010] 例えば、 S. Lamansky et al. , J. Am. Chem. Soc. , 123卷, 4304ページ(2 001年)等においては、多くの化合物がイリジウム錯体系等重金属錯体を中心に合 成検討されている。  [0010] For example, in S. Lamansky et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Vol. 123, p. 4304 (2001), many compounds are synthesized mainly from heavy metal complexes such as iridium complexes. Is being considered.
[0011] また、前述の M. A. Baldo et al. , nature, 403卷, 17号, 750— 753ページ( 2000年)においては、ドーパントとして、トリス(2—フエ二ルビリジン)イリジウムを用い た検討がされている。  [0011] Also, in the aforementioned MA Baldo et al., Nature, Vol. 403, No. 17, pp. 750-753 (2000), a study was conducted using tris (2-phenylvinylidine) iridium as a dopant. ing.

Tompson等は、 The 10th International Workshop on In organic and Organic Electroluminescence (EL' 00、浜松) (こおレヽて、ドーノ ン卜として L Ir (acac)、例えば、 (ppy) Ir (acac)を、また、 Moon-Jae  [0012] In addition, ME Tompson et al., The 10th International Workshop on Inorganic and Organic Electroluminescence (EL'00, Hamamatsu) (Korea, L Ir (acac) such as (ppy) Ir ( acac) and Moon-Jae
Youn. 0g、 Tetsuo Tsutsui等は、やはり、 The 10th International Works hop on Inorganic and Organic Electroluminescence (EL' 00、浜松)にお いて、ドーパントとして、トリス(2— (p—トリル)ピリジン)イリジウム(Ir (ptpy) ), トリス( ベンゾ [h]キノリン)イリジウム(Ir (bzq) )等を用いた検討を行っている(なおこれらの 金属錯体は一般にオルトメタル化イリジウム錯体と呼ばれている。 )。  Youn. 0g, Tetsuo Tsutsui, et al.

[0013] また、前記、 S. Lamansky et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 123卷, 4304ぺー ジ(2001年)等においても、各種イリジウム錯体を用いて素子化する試みがされてい る。 [0013] Further, as described in S. Lamansky et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Vol. 123, No. 4304- Di (2001) and the like have also attempted to make devices using various iridium complexes.
[0014] また、高い発光効率を得るために、 The 10th International Workshop on Inorganic and Organic Electroluminescence (EL' 00、浜松)では、 Ikai等 はホール輸送性の化合物を燐光性化合物のホストとして用いている。また、 M. E. T ompson等は、各種電子輸送性材料を燐光性化合物のホストとして、これらに新規な イリジウム錯体をドープして用いてレ、る。  [0014] In order to obtain high luminous efficiency, in the 10th International Workshop on Inorganic and Organic Electroluminescence (EL'00, Hamamatsu), Ikai and others use a hole transporting compound as a host of a phosphorescent compound. ME Tompson et al. Use various electron-transporting materials as a host of a phosphorescent compound and dope them with a novel iridium complex.
[0015] 中心金属をイリジウムの代わりに白金としたオノレトメタルイ匕錯体も注目されている。こ の種の錯体に関しては、配位子に特徴を持たせた例が多数知られている(例えば、 特許文献:!〜 5及び非特許文献 1参照。)。  [0015] Onoleto metal iodide complexes, in which the central metal is platinum instead of iridium, have also attracted attention. Regarding this type of complex, there are many known examples in which ligands are characterized (for example, see Patent Documents:! To 5 and Non-Patent Document 1).
[0016] 何れの場合も発光素子とした場合の発光輝度や発光効率は、その発光する光が燐 光に由来することから、従来の素子に比べ大幅に改良されるものであるが、素子の発 光寿命については従来の素子よりも低いという問題点があった。このように、りん光性 の高効率の発光材料は、発光波長の短波化と素子の発光寿命の改善が難しく実用 に耐えうる性能を十分に達成できてレ、なレ、のが現状である。  [0016] In any case, the light emission luminance and the light emission efficiency of the light emitting element are greatly improved as compared with the conventional element because the emitted light is derived from phosphorescence. There is a problem that the light emission lifetime is shorter than that of the conventional device. As described above, phosphorescent high-efficiency light-emitting materials are difficult to shorten the emission wavelength and improve the light-emitting life of the device, and can achieve sufficient performance for practical use. .
[0017] また、波長の短波化に関しては、これまでフエニルピリジンにフッ素原子、トリフルォ ロメチル基、シァノ基等の電子吸引基を置換基として導入すること、配位子としてピコ リン酸やビラザボール系の配位子を導入することが知られている(例えば、特許文献 6〜: 13及び非特許文献:!〜 4参照。)が、これらの配位子では発光材料の発光波長 が短波化して青色を達成し、高効率の素子を達成できる一方、素子の発光寿命は劣 化する傾向もみられ、そのトレードオフの改善が求められていた。  [0017] Regarding the shortening of the wavelength, an electron-withdrawing group such as a fluorine atom, a trifluoromethyl group or a cyano group has been introduced as a substituent into phenylpyridine, and picolinic acid or virazabole-based ligand has been used as a ligand. It is known to introduce a ligand (for example, see Patent Documents 6 to 13 and Non-Patent Documents:! To 4), but in these ligands, the emission wavelength of the light-emitting material is shortened. While blue can be achieved and a highly efficient device can be achieved, the emission lifetime of the device tends to be degraded, and improvement of the trade-off has been required.

[0167] 制御部 Bは、表示部 Aと電気的に接続され、複数の画素それぞれに外部からの画 像情報に基づいて走査信号と画像データ信号を送り、走査信号により走査線毎の画 素が画像データ信号に応じて順次発光して画像走査を行って画像情報を表示部 A に表示する。 [0167] The control unit B is electrically connected to the display unit A, sends a scanning signal and an image data signal to each of a plurality of pixels based on image information from the outside, and controls the pixels for each scanning line by the scanning signal. , Sequentially emit light according to the image data signal, perform image scanning, and display image information on the display unit A.
[0168] 図 2は、表示部 Aの模式図である。 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the display unit A.
[0169] 表示部 Aは基板上に、複数の走査線 5及びデータ線 6を含む配線部と、複数の画 素 3等とを有する。表示部 Aの主要な部材の説明を以下に行う。  The display section A has a wiring section including a plurality of scanning lines 5 and data lines 6 and a plurality of pixels 3 on a substrate. The main members of the display unit A will be described below.
[0170] 図においては、画素 3の発光した光が、白矢印方向(下方向)へ取り出される場合 を示している。  [0170] The figure shows a case where the light emitted from the pixel 3 is extracted in the white arrow direction (downward).
[0171] 配線部の走査線 5及び複数のデータ線 6は、それぞれ導電材料からなり、走査線 5 とデータ線 6は格子状に直交して、直交する位置で画素 3に接続している(詳細は図 示していない)。  [0171] The scanning line 5 and the plurality of data lines 6 in the wiring portion are each made of a conductive material, and the scanning line 5 and the data line 6 are orthogonal to each other in a grid pattern, and are connected to the pixels 3 at orthogonal positions ( Details are not shown).
[0172] 画素 3は、走査線 5から走査信号が印加されると、データ線 6から画像データ信号を 受け取り、受け取った画像データに応じて発光する。発光の色が赤領域の画素、緑 領域の画素、青領域の画素を、適宜、同一基板上に並置することによって、フルカラ 一表示が可能となる。  When a scanning signal is applied from the scanning line 5, the pixel 3 receives an image data signal from the data line 6, and emits light in accordance with the received image data. By properly arranging pixels in the red, green, and blue light emission regions on the same substrate, full color display is possible.
[0173] 次に、画素の発光プロセスを説明する。  Next, a light emitting process of the pixel will be described.
[0174] 図 3は、画素の模式図である。  FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a pixel.
[0175] 画素は、有機 EL素子 10、スイッチングトランジスタ 11、駆動トランジスタ 12、コンデ ンサ 13等を備えている。複数の画素に有機 EL素子 10として、赤色、緑色、青色発 光の有機 EL素子を用レ、、これらを同一基板上に並置することでフルカラー表示を行 うことができる。 The pixel includes an organic EL device 10, a switching transistor 11, a driving transistor 12, a capacitor 13, and the like. Red, green, and blue light emitting organic EL elements are used as the organic EL elements 10 for a plurality of pixels, and full-color display is performed by juxtaposing these on the same substrate. I can.
[0176] 図 3において、制御部 Bからデータ線 6を介してスイッチングトランジスタ 11のドレイ ンに画像データ信号が印加される。そして、制御部 Bから走査線 5を介してスィッチン グトランジスタ 11のゲートに走查信号が印加されると、スイッチングトランジスタ 11の 駆動がオンし、ドレインに印加された画像データ信号がコンデンサ 13と駆動トランジ スタ 12のゲートに伝達される。  In FIG. 3, an image data signal is applied from the control unit B to the drain of the switching transistor 11 via the data line 6. Then, when a scan signal is applied from the control unit B to the gate of the switching transistor 11 via the scanning line 5, the drive of the switching transistor 11 is turned on, and the image data signal applied to the drain is driven by the capacitor 13 It is transmitted to the gate of transistor 12.
[0177] 画像データ信号の伝達により、コンデンサ 13が画像データ信号の電位に応じて充 電されるとともに、駆動トランジスタ 12の駆動がオンする。駆動トランジスタ 12は、ドレ インが電源ライン 7に接続され、ソースが有機 EL素子 10の電極に接続されており、ゲ 一トに印加された画像データ信号の電位に応じて電源ライン 7から有機 EL素子 10に 電流が供給される。  By transmitting the image data signal, the capacitor 13 is charged according to the potential of the image data signal, and the driving of the driving transistor 12 is turned on. The drive transistor 12 has a drain connected to the power supply line 7, a source connected to the electrode of the organic EL element 10, and an organic EL element connected from the power supply line 7 according to the potential of the image data signal applied to the gate. Element 10 is supplied with current.
[0178] 制御部 Bの順次走查により走查信号が次の走査線 5に移ると、スイッチングトランジ スタ 11の駆動がオフする。しかし、スイッチングトランジスタ 11の駆動がオフしてもコン デンサ 13は充電された画像データ信号の電位を保持するので、駆動トランジスタ 12 の駆動はオン状態が保たれて、次の走査信号の印加が行われるまで有機 EL素子 1 0の発光が継続する。順次走査により次に走査信号が印加されたとき、走査信号に 同期した次の画像データ信号の電位に応じて駆動トランジスタ 12が駆動して有機 E L素子 10が発光する。  [0178] When the scan signal moves to the next scanning line 5 due to the sequential running of the control unit B, the driving of the switching transistor 11 is turned off. However, even if the driving of the switching transistor 11 is turned off, the capacitor 13 holds the potential of the charged image data signal, so that the driving of the driving transistor 12 is kept on and the next scanning signal is applied. The organic EL element 10 continues to emit light until the light is emitted. When the next scanning signal is applied by the sequential scanning, the driving transistor 12 is driven according to the potential of the next image data signal synchronized with the scanning signal, and the organic EL element 10 emits light.
[0179] すなわち、有機 EL素子 10の発光は、複数の画素それぞれの有機 EL素子 10に対 して、アクティブ素子であるスイッチングトランジスタ 11と駆動トランジスタ 12を設けて 、複数の画素 3それぞれの有機 EL素子 10の発光を行っている。このような発光方法 をアクティブマトリクス方式と呼んでレ、る。  In other words, the organic EL element 10 emits light by providing a switching transistor 11 and a driving transistor 12 as active elements for the organic EL elements 10 of each of the plurality of pixels, and The element 10 emits light. Such a light emitting method is called an active matrix method.
[0180] ここで、有機 EL素子 10の発光は、複数の階調電位を持つ多値の画像データ信号 による複数の階調の発光でもよいし、 2値の画像データ信号による所定の発光量の オン、オフでもよい。  Here, the light emission of the organic EL element 10 may be light emission of a plurality of gradations by a multi-valued image data signal having a plurality of gradation potentials, or light emission of a predetermined light emission amount by a binary image data signal. It may be on or off.
[0181] また、コンデンサ 13の電位の保持は、次の走查信号の印加まで継続して保持して もよレ、し、次の走查信号が印加される直前に放電させてもょレ、。  [0181] The potential of the capacitor 13 may be maintained until the next scan signal is applied, or may be discharged immediately before the next scan signal is applied. ,.
[0182] 本発明においては、上述したアクティブマトリクス方式に限らず、走查信号が走查さ れたときのみデータ信号に応じて有機 EL素子を発光させるパッシブマトリクス方式の 発光駆動でもよい。 [0182] In the present invention, the running signal is not limited to the above-described active matrix system. A passive matrix light emission drive in which the organic EL element emits light in accordance with the data signal only when the light is emitted may be used.
[0183] 図 4は、パッシブマトリクス方式による表示装置の模式図である。図 4におレ、て、複 数の走査線 5と複数の画像データ線 6が画素 3を挟んで対向して格子状に設けられ ている。  FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a display device using a passive matrix method. In FIG. 4, a plurality of scanning lines 5 and a plurality of image data lines 6 are provided in a lattice shape so as to face each other with the pixel 3 interposed therebetween.
[0184] 順次走查により走査線 5の走查信号が印加されたとき、印加された走査線 5に接続 している画素 3が画像データ信号に応じて発光する。パッシブマトリクス方式では画 素 3にアクティブ素子が無ぐ製造コストの低減が計れる。  [0184] When the scan signal of the scan line 5 is applied by the sequential scan, the pixels 3 connected to the applied scan line 5 emit light according to the image data signal. In the passive matrix method, since there is no active element in pixel 3, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
[0185] 本発明に係わる有機 EL材料は、また、照明装置として、実質白色の発光を生じる 有機 EL素子に適用できる。複数の発光材料により複数の発光色を同時に発光させ て混色により白色発光を得る。複数の発光色の組み合わせとしては、青色、緑色、青 色の 3原色の 3つの発光極大波長を含有させたものでも良いし、青色と黄色、青緑と 橙色等の補色の関係を利用した 2つの発光極大波長を含有したものでも良い。  [0185] The organic EL material according to the present invention can also be applied to an organic EL element that emits substantially white light as a lighting device. A plurality of light emitting colors are emitted simultaneously by a plurality of light emitting materials, and white light is obtained by mixing colors. As a combination of a plurality of emission colors, a combination of three emission maximum wavelengths of the three primary colors of blue, green and blue may be used, or a combination of complementary colors such as blue and yellow, and blue-green and orange may be used. It may be one containing two emission maximum wavelengths.

Although a combination of a dye material that emits light with the light of the light emitting material as excitation light and a good displacement can be achieved, the white organic electorophore luminescent device according to the present invention employs a method of combining a plurality of luminescent dopants. preferable.

Examples include a method in which dopants having different emission wavelengths are present in the layer, and a method in which minute pixels that emit light with different wavelengths are formed in a matrix.
