MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Definition

[0105] In the present specification, a hydrogen atom means an atom including isotopes different in the number of neutrons, namely, a protium, a deuterium and a tritium.

[0106] In the present specification, to a bondable position in which a symbol such as “R”, or “D” representing a deuterium atom is not specified in a chemical formula, a hydrogen atom, that is, a light hydrogen atom, a deuterium atom, or a tritium atom is bonded thereto.

[0107] In the present specification, a term “ring carbon atoms” represents the number of carbon atoms among atoms forming a subject ring itself of a compound having a structure in which atoms are bonded in a ring form (for example, a monocyclic compound, a fused ring compound, a cross-linked compound, a carbocyclic compound or a heterocyclic compound). When the subject ring is substituted by a substituent, the carbon contained in the substituent is not included in the number of ring carbon atoms. The same shall apply to the “ring carbon atoms” described below, unless otherwise noted. For example, a benzene ring has 6 ring carbon atoms, a naphthalene ring has 10 ring carbon atoms, a pyridine ring has 5 ring carbon atoms, and a furan ring has 4 ring carbon atoms. Further, for example, a 9,9-diphenylfluorenyl group has 13 ring carbon atoms, and a 9,9′-spirobifluorenyl group has 25 ring carbon atoms.

[0108] Further, when the benzene ring or the naphthalene ring is substituted by an alkyl group as a substituent, for example, the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl group is not included in the ring carbon atoms.

[0109] In the present specification, a term “ring atoms” represents the number of atoms forming a subject ring itself of a compound having a structure in which atoms are bonded in a ring form (for example, a monocycle, a fused ring and a ring assembly) (for example, a monocyclic compound, a fused ring compound, a cross-linked compound, a carbocyclic compound or a heterocyclic compound). The term “ring atoms” does not include atoms which do not form the ring (for example, a hydrogen atom which terminates a bond of the atoms forming the ring) or atoms contained in a substituent when the ring is substituted by the substituent. The same shall apply to the “ring atoms” described below, unless otherwise noted. For example, a pyridine ring has 6 ring atoms, a quinazoline ring has 10 ring atoms, and a furan ring has 5 ring atoms. A hydrogen atom bonded with a carbon atom of the pyridine ring or the quinazoline ring or an atom forming the substituent is not included in the number of the ring atoms.

[0110] In the present specification, a term “XX to YY carbon atoms” in an expression of “substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group having XX to YY carbon atoms” represents the number of carbon atoms when the ZZ group is unsubstituted. The number of carbon atoms of a substituent when the ZZ group is substituted is not included. Here, “YY” is larger than “XX”, and “XX” and “YY” each mean an integer of 1 or more.

[0111] In the present specification, a term “XX to YY atoms” in an expression of “substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group having XX to YY atoms” represents the number of atoms when the ZZ group is unsubstituted. The number of atoms of a substituent when the group is substituted is not included. Here, “YY” is larger than “XX”, and “XX” and “YY” each mean an integer of 1 or more.

[0112] A term “unsubstituted” in the case of “substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group” means that the ZZ group is not substituted by a substituent, and a hydrogen atom is bonded therewith. Alternatively, a term “substituted” in the case of “substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group” means that one or more hydrogen atoms in the ZZ group are substituted by a substituent. Similarly, a term “substituted” in the case of “BB group substituted by an AA group” means that one or more hydrogen atoms in the BB group are substituted by the AA group.

[0113] Hereinafter, the substituent described herein will be described.

[0114] The number of the ring carbon atoms of the “unsubstituted aryl group” described herein is 6 to 50, preferably 6 to 30, and more preferably 6 to 18, unless otherwise specified.

##STR00027## ##STR00028##

[0204] In the formulas (XY-65) to (XY-75), X.sub.B is an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom.

[0205] Herein, a case where “one or more sets of two or more groups adjacent to each other are bonded with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted and saturated or unsaturated ring” will be described by taking, as an example, a case of an anthracene compound represented by the following formula (XY-80) in which a mother skeleton is an anthracene ring.

##STR00029##

[0206] For example, two adjacent to each other into one set when “one or more sets of two or more groups adjacent to each other are bonded with each other to form the ring” among R.sub.921 to R.sub.930 include R.sub.921 and R.sub.922, R.sub.922 and R.sub.923, R.sub.923 and Raw, R.sub.924 and R.sub.930, R.sub.930 and R.sub.925, R.sub.925 and R.sub.926, R.sub.926 and R.sub.927, R.sub.927 and R.sub.928, R.sub.928 and R.sub.929, and R.sub.929 and R.sub.921.

[0207] The above-described “one or more sets” means that two or more sets of two groups adjacent to each other may simultaneously form the ring. For example, a case where R.sub.921 and R.sub.922 are bonded with each other to form a ring A, and simultaneously R.sub.925 and R.sub.926 are bonded with each other to form a ring B is represented by the following formula (XY-81).

##STR00030##

[0208] A case where “two or more groups adjacent to each other” form a ring means that, for example, R.sub.921 and R.sub.922 are bonded with each other to form a ring A, and R.sub.922 and R.sub.923 are bonded with each other to form a ring C. A case where the ring A and ring C sharing R.sub.922 are formed, in which the ring A and the ring C are fused to the anthracene mother skeleton by three of R.sub.921 to R.sub.923 adjacent to each other, is represented by the following (XY-82).

##STR00031##

[0209] The rings A to C formed in the formulas (XY-81) and (XY-82) are a saturated or unsaturated ring.

[0210] A term “unsaturated ring” means an aromatic hydrocarbon ring or an aromatic heterocyclic ring. A term “saturated ring” means an aliphatic hydrocarbon ring or an aliphatic heterocyclic ring.

[0211] For example, the ring A formed by R.sub.921 and R.sub.922 being bonded with each other, represented by the formula (XY-81), means a ring formed by a carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton bonded with R.sub.921, a carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton bonded with R.sub.922, and one or more arbitrary elements. Specific examples include, when the ring A is formed by R.sub.921 and R.sub.922, a case where an unsaturated ring is formed of a carbon atom of an anthracene skeleton bonded with R.sub.921, a carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton bonded with R.sub.922, and four carbon atoms, in which a ring formed by R.sub.921 and R.sub.922 is formed into a benzene ring. Further, when a saturated ring is formed, the ring is formed into a cyclohexane ring.

[0212] Here, “arbitrary elements” are preferably a C element, a N element, an O element and a S element. In the arbitrary elements (for example, a case of the C element or the N element), the bond(s) that is(are) not involved in the formation of the ring may be terminated by a hydrogen atom, or may be substituted by an arbitrary substituent. When the ring contains the arbitrary elements other than the C element, the ring to be formed is a heterocyclic ring.

[0213] The number of “one or more arbitrary elements” forming the saturated or unsaturated ring is preferably 2 or more and 15 or less, more preferably 3 or more and 12 or less, and further preferably 3 or more and 5 or less.

[0214] As specific examples of the aromatic hydrocarbon ring, a structure in which the aryl group described in specific example group G1 is terminated with a hydrogen atom may be mentioned.

[0215] As specific examples of the aromatic heterocyclic ring, a structure in which the aromatic heterocyclic group described in specific example group G2 is terminated with a hydrogen atom may be mentioned.

[0216] As specific examples of the aliphatic hydrocarbon ring, a structure in which the cycloalkyl group described in specific example group G6 is terminated with a hydrogen atom may be mentioned.

[0217] When the above-described “saturated or unsaturated ring” has a substituent, the substituent is an “arbitrary substituent” as described below, for example. When the above-mentioned “saturated or unsaturated ring” has a substituent, specie examples of the substituent refer to the substituents described in above-mentioned “the substituent described herein”.

[0218] In one embodiment of the present specification, the substituent (hereinafter, referred to as an “arbitrary substituent” in several cases) in the case of the “substituted or unsubstituted” is a group selected from the group consisting of

an unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 50 carbon atoms,

a halogen atom, a cyano group, a nitro group,
an unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 50 ring carbon atoms, and
an unsubstituted monovalent heterocyclic group having 5 to 50 ring atoms.

[0220] In one embodiment the substituent in the case of “substituted or unsubstituted” is a group selected from the group consisting of

an alkyl group having 1 to 50 carbon atoms,
an aryl group having 6 to 50 ring carbon atoms, and
a monovalent heterocyclic group having 5 to 50 ring atoms.

[0221] In one embodiment the substituent in the case of “substituted or unsubstituted” is a group selected from the group consisting of

an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms,
an aryl group having 6 to 18 ring carbon atoms, and
a monovalent heterocyclic group having 5 to 18 ring atoms.

[0222] Specific examples of each group of the arbitrary substituent described above are as described above.

[0223] Herein, unless otherwise specified, the saturated or unsaturated ring (preferably substituted or unsubstituted and saturated or unsaturated five-membered or six-membered ring, more preferably a benzene ring) may be formed by the arbitrary substituents adjacent to each other. Herein, unless otherwise specified, the arbitrary substituent may further have the substituent. Specific examples of the substituent that the arbitrary substituent further has include to the ones same as the arbitrary substituent described above.

Example 1

(Fabrication of Organic EL Device)

[0747] A glass substrate of 25 mm by 75 mm by 1.1 mm thick with an ITO transparent electrode (anode) (manufactured by GEOMATEC Co., Ltd.) was subjected to ultrasonic cleaning in isopropyl alcohol for 5 minutes, and then subjected to UV-ozone cleaning for 30 minutes. The thickness of ITO was 130 nm.

[0748] The cleaned glass substrate with a transparent electrode was mounted in a substrate holder of a vacuum vapor deposition apparatus. First, compound HI was deposited on the surface where the transparent electrode was formed so as to cover the transparent electrode, thereby forming an HI film having a thickness of 5 nm. This HI film functioned as a hole-injecting layer.

[0749] Subsequent to the formation of the HI film, compound HT-1 was deposited to form an HT-1 film in a thickness of 80 nm on the HI film. This HT-1 film functioned as a hole-transporting layer (a first hole-transporting layer).

[0750] Subsequent to the formation of the HT-1 film, compound HT-2 was deposited to form an HT-2 film in a thickness of 10 nm on the HT-1 film. This HT-2 film functioned as an electron-blocking layer (a second hole-transporting layer).

[0751] Compound BH-1 (host material) and compound BD-1 (dopant material) were co-deposited on the HT-2 film so that the ratio of compound BD-1 was 4 mass % to form a BH-1:BD-1 film in a thickness of 25 nm. This BH-1:BD-1 film functioned as an emitting layer.

[0752] Compound ET-1 was deposited on the emitting layer to form an ET-1 film in a thickness of 10 nm. This ET-1 film functioned as a hole-barrier layer.

[0753] Compound ET-2 was deposited on the ET-1 layer to form an ET-2 layer in a thickness of 15 nm. This ET-2 layer functioned as an electron-transporting layer. LiF was deposited on the ET-2 layer to form a LiF film in a thickness of 1 nm. A1 metal was deposited on the LiF film to form a metal cathode in a thickness of 80 nm. An organic EL device was thus fabricated.

[0754] The layer construction of the fabricated organic EL device was as follows. ITO (130)/HI (5)/HT-1 (80)/HT-2 (10)/BH-1:BD-1 (25:4 mass %)/ET-1 (10)/ET-2 (15)/LiF (1)/Al (80)

[0758] Further, a voltage was applied to the obtained organic EL device so that the current density was 10 mA/cm.sup.2, and spectral radiance spectrum was measured using a spectroradimeter “CS-1000” (manufactured by Konica Minolta, Inc.) to determine CIE1931 chromaticity coordinate (CIEx, CIEy).
