Description: The present invention relates to a polymeric fluorescent substance and an organic electroluminescence device fabricated by using the polymeric fluorescent substance. An inorganic electroluminescence device (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as an inorganic EL device) obtained by using as a luminescent material an inorganic fluorescent substance has been used for a flat light source as back light and a display apparatus, such as a flat panel display. This device, however, requires high-voltage alternating current for driving. From the standpoint of improvement in such an inorganic EL device, there have been reported a device having a two-layer structure comprising a laminate of a light emitting layer composed of an organic fluorescent dye and a layer of an organic charge transporting compound (JP-A-59-194393) and a device using a polymeric fluorescent substance as a luminescent material (WO 9013148, JP-A-3-244630). These electroluminescence devices using organic materials have the feature that they can provide multi-color luminescence easily in addition to low voltage direct current activation and high luminance as compared with inorganic EL devices. As polymeric fluorescent substance heretofore reported, WO 9013148 exemplifies a poly-p-phenylenevinylene film obtained by forming a film of a soluble precursor on an electrode and conducting heat treatment, and JP-A-3-244630 exemplifies conjugated polymers such as poly-2,5-dialkoxy-p-phenylenevinylene which are themselves soluble in a solvent and required not heat treatment. WO 9610617 exemplifies as a conjugated polymer having a condensed polycyclic aromatic group in the main chain, a polyarylenevinylene-based polymeric fluorescent substance having a 2,7-pyrenediyl group in the main chain. As polymeric fluorescent substances showing luminescent color having a long wave length from orange to red, there have been heretofore reported a polythiophene-based polymeric fluorescent substance (J. J. Appl. Phys., 30, L1938, (1991)) and a poly(arylenevinylene)-based polymeric fluorescent substance in which an electron withdrawing cyano group has been introduced into a vinylene group (WO 9429883), however, there has been reported no polymeric fluorescent substance containing a condensed polycyclic aromatic ring having a bonding part at specific position in the main chain of a poly(arylenevinylene)-based polymeric fluorescent substance and revealing luminescent color having a long wave length from orange to red. In TOUSSAINT, J. M.,ET AL: "Towards organic polymers with small intrinsic band gaps. II. Investigation of the electronic structure of . poly(pyrenylenevinylenes)" J. CHEM. PHYS. (1989), 91 (3), 1783-8 , geometry optimizations and band structure calculations are reported on two Polymeric vinylene derivatives of pyrene: poly( 1,6-pyrenylene vinylene) and poly(2,7-pyrenylene vinylene). The results are indicative of a dramatic sensitivity of the electronic structure on the mode of connection of the two vinylene units to the pyrene rings, in agreement with the chemist's intuition. An analysis of the atomic π orbital contributions to the one-electron wave functions shows that the HOMO-LUMO characteristics of both compounds are markedly different. The 1-6 mode of connection leads to an electronic structure similar to that of polyparaphenylene with a bandgap of 2.9 eV. The 2-7 mode of connection results in a significantly lower bandgap, around 1.7 eV, due to the stabilization of quinoid resonance structures. The poly(arylenevinylene)-based polymeric fluorescent substances used in organic EL devices heretofore reported had the restriction that when they are obtained via intermediates soluble in solvents, heat treatment is necessary and only substrates having high heat-resistance can be used. Further, there has been a problem that, for obtaining a polymeric fluorescent substance soluble in a solvent, introduction of a flexible repeating unit into the main chain or introduction of a flexible side chain having high affinity with a solvent is required and heat-resistance of the device decreases when temperature is raised since then the polymeric fluorescent substance is easily softened. An object of the present invention is to provide a polymeric fluorescent substance which shows fluorescence at a long wave length from orange to red, has excellent heat-resistance and is soluble in a solvent, and an organic EL device having excellent properties which can be easily fabricated by a coating method using the same. This object could be achieved on the basis of the finding that a polymeric fluorescent substance having a divalent condensed polycyclic aromatic group of specific size having a bonding part at a specific position shows fluorescence at a long wave length from orange to red and has high heat-resistance, and an organic EL device can be easily fabricated by a coating method using the above-described polymeric fluorescent substance and, further, this organic EL device exhibits excellent properties. The present invention relates to a polymeric fluorescent substance showing visible fluorescence in solid state and having a polystyrene-reduced number-average molecular weight of 10 3 to 10 7 , wherein the polymeric fluorescent substance comprises one or more repeating units represented by the following formula (1) and one or more repeating units represented by the following formula (2), the sum of the repeating units represented by the formula (1) is from 0.5 % by mole to 95 % by mole based on the total amount of repeating units, the sum of the repeating units represented by the formula (1) and the repeating units represented by the formula (2) is from 50 % by mole to 100 % by mole based on the total amount of repeating units, and the molar ratio of the sum of the repeating units represented by the formula (1) to the sum of the repeating units represented by the formula (2) is from 20:1 to 1:199: -Ar 1 -CR 1 =CR 2 - wherein Ar 1 represents a condensed polycyclic aromatic group which may be substituted with a substituent selected from a cyano group, an alkyl group, alkoxy group or alkylthio group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkylsilyl group having 3 to 60 carbon atoms, an alkylamino group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, an aryl group or aryloxy group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, an arylalkenyl group or arylalkynyl group having 8 to 20 carbon atoms, an aralkyl group having 7 to 14 carbon atoms and a heterocyclic compound group having 4 to 14 carbon atoms, and which satisfies the following conditions (a) to (c): (a) the condensed polycyclic aromatic group has two bonding parts which are not adjacent each other, and the number of carbon atoms forming conjugated bonds excepting carbon atoms of said substituent is from 16 to 30; (b) a condensed polycyclic aromatic compound obtained by substituting all substituent on Ar 1 by hydrogen atoms and by allowing the two bonding parts to be bonded to hydrogen atoms has a plane of symmetry or a twofold axis or threefold axis vertical to the plane including the condensed polycyclic aromatic compound and contains only 6-membered-ring structures; (c) two carbon atoms as the bonding parts are selected according to the following method: the two carbon atoms are selected from carbon atoms in the condensed polycyclic aromatic compound to which a hydrogen atom is bonded, and the two carbon atoms are selected from those having the largest and second-largest-sum of squares of atomic orbital coefficients in the highest occupied molecular orbitals, wherein the sum of squares of atomic orbital coefficients in the highest occupied molecular orbitals is calculated by a semi-empirical molecular orbital AM1 method; and R 1 and R 2 each independently represents a group selected from a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, a heterocyclic compound having 4 to 20 carbon atoms and a cyano group: -Ar 2 -CR 3 =CR 4 - wherein Ar 2 represents an arylene group or a heterocyclic compound in which the number of carbon atoms forming conjugated bond is from 4 to 20, and is not the same as the Ar 1 group in said formula (1), and R 3 and R 4 each independently represents a group selected from a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, a heterocyclic compound having 4 to 20 carbon atoms and a cyano group. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an organic electroluminescence device having at least a light emitting layer between a pair of electrodes consisting of an anode and a cathode at least one of which is transparent or semitransparent, wherein the light emitting layer contains the polymeric fluorescent substance according to claims 1 or 2. The present invention will be described in detail below. The residue Ar 1 preferably satisfies the conditions (a), (b) and the following condition (c'). (c') two carbon atoms selected according to the following method have a bonding part: any one of the highest occupied molecular orbitals of the condensed polycyclic aromatic compound of (b) determined by a semi-empirical molecular orbital method is selected, the sum of squares of atomic orbital coefficients of only carbon atoms to which a hydrogen atom is bonded among carbon atoms in the condensed polycyclic aromatic compound of (b), and two carbon atoms are selected from carbon atoms having the largest sum value as the carbon atoms having a bonding part. Here, the phrase "a condensed polycyclic aromatic compound obtained by substituting all substituent on Ar 1 by hydrogen atoms and by allowing the two bonding parts to be bonded to hydrogen atoms has a plane of symmetry or a twofold axis or threefold axis vertical to the plane including the condensed polycyclic aromatic compound" of (b) means that when the plane structure of the condensed polycyclic aromatic compound is represented by a usually used plane structural formula as shown in Formula (I) (each benzene nucleus is represented by a regular hexagon), the plane containing the condensed polycyclic aromatic compound is the plane of this paper where the plane structural formula is shown, and the compound has a plane of symmetry or a twofold axis or threefold axis vertical to the above-described plane. The judgement of symmetry is effected based on the above-described two-dimensional plane structural formula. Herein, bonds in a regular hexagon showing conjugated double bonds are not to be taken into consideration in judging symmetry. For example, when pyrene is represented as shown in Formula (I) and bonds in a regular hexagon are taken into consideration, pyrene shall not have symmetrical plane, however, in the present invention, pyrene has symmetrical plane since bonds in a regular hexagon are no taken into consideration. The sum of squares of atomic orbital coefficients in the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO) of carbon atoms in (c) and (c') (ρ m HOMO ) is obtained according to the following formula by a semi-empirical molecular orbital method, AM1 method (Dewar, M. J. S.et.al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 107, 3902 (1985)). ρ m HOMO = Σ u (C mu HOMO ) 2 Herein, m represents a mark showing a carbon atom, u represents a mark showing atomic orbital taken into consideration in the AM1 method corresponding to the carbon atom. C mu HOMO represents atomic orbital coefficient represented by u of HOMO of the carbon atom. Comparison of atomic orbital coefficients is conducted in two significant figures. When the highest sum of squares of atomic orbital coefficients shown in two significant figures is found at several carbon atoms, all of these carbon atoms are admitted to have the highest sum of squares, and other carbon atoms having the second-highest sum of squares can be selected. When two HOMOs are present, any one may advantageously be selected and comparison of the sum of squared of atomic orbital coefficients.

The degree of polymerization of the polymeric fluorescent substance of the present invention is not particularly restricted providing a polystyrene-reduced number-average molecular weight is from 10 3 to 10 7 , and it differs depending on repeating structure and proportion thereof. From the standpoint of film-forming property, the usual total number of repeating structures is preferably from 4 to 10000, more preferably 5 to 3000, particularly preferably from 10 to 2000. Herein, the molecular weight is a polystyrene-reduced number-average molecular weight given by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using chloroform as a solvent. The polymeric fluorescent substance of the present invention is a polymer or copolymer comprising the repeating unit represented by the formula (1), a copolymer comprising the repeating unit represented by the formula (1) and the repeating unit represented by the formula (2), or a copolymer in which the total amount of the repeating unit represented by the formula (1) and the repeating unit represented by the formula (2) is 50 % by mole or more based on the total amount of all repeating units. In the case of the copolymer, it may be a random, block or graft copolymer, or a polymer having intermediate structure thereof, for example, a random copolymer having block polymer tendency. From the standpoint of obtaining a copolymer showing high quantum efficiency of fluorescence, a random copolymer having block polymer tendency and a block or graft copolymer are more preferable than a complete random copolymer, and copolymers having branched chain in the main chain and having three or more terminals are also included. The polymeric fluorescent substance of the present invention can be dissolved in a solvent and a film of the polymeric fluorescent substance can be formed. Examples of the good solvent for the polymeric fluorescent substance include chloroform, methylene chloride, dichloroethane, tetrahydrofuran, toluene and xylene. The polymeric fluorescent substance can usually be dissolved in these solvents in an amount of 0.1 % by weight or more though the amount differs depending on the structure and molecular weight of the polymeric fluorescent substance. It is advantageous in fabrication to use these solvent-soluble polymeric fluorescent substances in fabricating an organic EL device, since when a film is formed from a solution, necessity is only removal of a solvent by drying after coating of this solution, and the same method can be applied also in the case of the polymeric fluorescent substances mixed with a charge transporting material described below. For producing the polymeric fluorescent substance of the present invention, a polymer containing the repeating unit represented by the formula (1) or the formula (2) is synthesized by carbon-carbon double bond formation reaction. When a specific stable group is introduce into the main chain as a terminal group, the above-described reaction may advantageously be followed by a reaction with a monomer forming the terminal group. As the carbon-carbon double bond formation reaction used in the present invention, there are exemplified Wittig reaction, Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction, dehydrohalogenation method, sulfonium salt decomposing method, Knoevenagel reaction and Heck reaction. In the Wittig reaction, for example, a dialdehyde compound represented by the formula (3) and a diphosphonium salt compound represented by the formula (4) are reacted. Ar 3 and Ar 4 may be the same or different. When different, an alternating copolymer is obtained. Further, when two or more kinds of dialdehyde compounds and/or two or more kinds diphosphonium salt compounds are used, a copolymer comprising all of these monomers are obtained. OHC-Ar 3 -CHO X 1 - (R 256 ) 3 P + H 2 C-Ar 4 -CH 2 P + (R 256 )X 1 - wherein Ar 3 and Ar 4 each independently is selected from the groups represented by Ar 1 in the formula (1) or Ar 2 in the formula (2), with the proviso that the group represented by Ar 1 in the formula (1) is contained in given amount after polymerization. X 1 - represents a counter ion and halide ions are exemplified. As R 256 , a phenyl group and a butyl group are exemplified. In the dehydrohalogenation method, an aromatic compound having methyl halide groups bonded to both ends is polycondensed. X 2 R 257 HC-Ar 5 -CHR 258 X 2 wherein Ar 5 has the same definition as for Ar 1 in the formula (1) or Ar 2 in the formula (2), with the proviso that the group represented by Ar 1 in the formula (1) has to be contained in given amount after polymerization. X 2 represents a halogen atom, R 257 and R 258 each independently represents a group selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, cyano group, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms and heterocyclic compound group having 4 to 14 carbon atoms. In the sulfonium salt decomposing method, an aromatic compound having sulfonium salts bonded to both ends is polycondensed. X 3 - R 259 R 260 S + R 261 HC-Ar 6 -CHR 262 S + R 263 R 264 X 3 - wherein Ar 6 has the same definition as for Ar 1 in the formula (1) or Ar 2 in the formula (2), with the proviso that the group represented by Ar 1 in the formula (1) has to be contained in given amount after polymerization. X 3 represents a counter ion, and R 261 and R 262 each independently represents a group selected from a hydrogen atom, cyano group, an alkyl group, alkoxy group or alkylthio group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; aryl group or aryloxy group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms; and heterocyclic compound group having 4 to 14 carbon atoms, R 259 , R 260 , R 263 and R 264 each independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or R 259 and R 260 , R 263 and R 264 each independently represents a alkylene group having 4 or more carbon atoms forming ring structure. Further, in the Knoevenagel reaction, a copolymer can be obtained using the same method described in Journal of Organic Chemistry, 25, p. 813 (1959), Makromolecular Chemie, 74, p. 71 (1964). Namely, a dialdehyde compound represented by the formula (7) and a compound represented by the formula (8) are polycondensed. OHC-Ar 7 -CHO H 2 (CN)C-Ar 8 -CH 2 (CN) wherein Ar 7 and Ar 8 have the same definition as for Ar 1 in the formula (1) or Ar 2 in the formula (2), with the proviso that the group represented by Ar 1 in the formula (1) has to be contained in given amount after polymerization. Specifically, there is an example in which a corresponding diacetonitrile compound, for example, p-phenylenediacetonitrile and a corresponding dialdehyde compound, for example, 2,5-dioctyloxyterephthalaldehyde are polymerized in a tert-butanol/tetrahydrofuran mixed solvent using tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. When two or more kinds of diacetnitriles and/or two or more kinds of dialdehyde compounds are reacted, a copolymer comprising all of these monomers are obtained. Since both of the Wittig reaction and Knoevenagel reaction can be carried out using lithium ethoxide, when a dialdehyde compound, a diphosphonium salt compound and a diacetonitrile compound are mixed in suitable amounts and reacted, all of the copolymers are obtained. When a specific stable group is introduced into the main chain as a terminal group, the above-described reaction may advantageously be followed by a reaction with a monofunctional compound forming the terminal group. This monofunctional compound is suitably selected depending on the reaction used or, the amount of the monomers used in the reaction when two monomers having different functional groups are used. Namely, in the Wittig reaction, since the terminal is composed of a phosphonium salt or aldehyde, a monofunctional compound having an aldehyde group or phosphonium salt is selected respectively. In the dehydrohalogenation method, the terminal is composed of a methyl halide group, in the sulfonium salt decomposition method, the terminal is composed of a sulfonium salt group, and in the Knoevenagel reaction, the terminal is composed of an aldehyde group or an active methylene group, for example, an acetonitrile group, therefore, monofunctional compounds reacting with respective polymerization ends are reacted. Among them, the Wittig reaction is preferable from the standpoints of control of the reaction and the yield thereof.

The form, size, material and fabrication method of the organic EL device of the present invention having such structure are appropriately selected depending on use of the organic EL device and are not particularly restricted. Use of each one layer of a light emitting layer and a charge transporting layer and also use of combination of several layers are included in the present invention. Further, for example, luminescent materials described below other than the polymeric fluorescent substance may be mixed and used in the light emitting layer. Also, a layer obtained by dispersing the polymeric fluorescent substance and/or charge transporting material in a polymeric compound can be used. The charge transporting material used together with the polymeric fluorescent substance of the present invention, namely, an electron transporting material or a hole transporting material is not particularly restricted and known materials can be used.

Of them, either one of electron transporting compounds and hole transporting compounds may be used or both of them may be used simultaneously. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. When a charge transporting layer (means generic name of a hole transporting layer and an electron transporting layer) is provided between a light emitting layer and an electrode, these charge transporting materials may be used to form a charge transporting layer. Further, when an electron transporting material is mixed in a light emitting layer, the amount used of the charge transporting material differs also depending on the kind of compounds used, therefore, the amount used may be appropriately determined within the range which does not disturb sufficient film-forming property and luminescent property with considering these properties. Usually, it is preferably from 1 to 40% by weight, more preferably from 2 to 30% by weight based on the amount of a luminescent material. Known luminescent materials which can be used together with the polymeric fluorescent substance of the present invention are not particularly restricted, and for example, a naphthalene derivative, anthracene or derivative thereof, perylene or derivative thereof, dyes of polymethyne type, xanthene type, coumarin type, and cyanine type, metal complexes of 8-hydroxyquinoline or derivative thereof, aromatic amine, tetraphenylcyclopentadiene or derivative thereof and tetraphenylbutadine or derivative thereof can be used. Specifically, known compounds such as those described in, for example, JP-A- 57-51781 and 59-194393 can be used. Typical methods for fabricating an organic EL device using the polymeric fluorescent substance of the present invention will be described below. Regarding a pair of electrodes composed of an anode and a cathode, as a transparent or semi-transparent electrode there is used that which is obtained by forming transparent or semi-transparent electrodes on a transparent substrate such as a glass and transparent plastic. As the material of the anode, a conductive metal oxide film or a semi-transparent metal film are used. Specifically, indium-tin-oxide (ITO), films (e.g. NESA) made of conductive glasses such as tin oxide (SnO 2 ), or a metal film of Au, Pt, Ag or Cu are used. As the production method, a vacuum deposition method, sputtering method or plating method are used. Subsequently, a light emitting layer containing the above-described polymeric fluorescent substance, or the above-described polymeric fluorescent substance and a charge transporting material as luminescent materials is formed on this anode. As the method for forming the light emitting layer, there are exemplified a spin coating method, casting method, dipping method, bar coating method, roll coating method, gravure coating method, flexographic printing method, spray coating method and ink jet printing method using melted liquid, solution or mixed liquid. It is particularly preferable to form a film from a solution or mixed liquid by a coating method such as a spin coating method, casting method, dipping method, bar coating method, roll coating method, gravure coating method, flexographic printing method, spray coating method or ink jet printing method. The thickness of a light emitting layer is preferably from 1 nm to 1 µm, more preferably from 2 nm to 500 nm. A range from 5 to 200 nm is preferable for enhancing luminous efficiency by increasing current density. When a film is formed by a coating method, it is desirable to conduct heating and drying preferably at a temperature from 30 to 300°C, more preferably from 60 to 200°C for removing a solvent under reduced pressure or inert atmosphere. When the light emitting layer and charge transporting layer are laminated, it is preferable that a hole transporting layer is formed on an anode before forming a light emitting layer by the above-described film-forming method, and/or after a light emitting layer is formed, an electron transporting layer is formed thereon. The method for forming a charge transporting layer is not particularly restricted, and there can be used a method of vacuum deposition from in the powdered state of these compounds, a method of applying a solution or a mixed solution of these compounds by a spin coating method, casting method, dipping method, bar coating method, roll coating method, gravure coating method, flexographic printing method, spray coating method or ink jet printing method, and a method of applying a melt, a solution or a mixed solution of a polymeric compound and a charge transporting material by a spin coating method, casting method, dipping method, bar coating method, roll coating method, gravure coating method, flexographic printing method, spray coating method, or ink jet printing method. The polymeric compound to be mixed is not particularly restricted and preferably is a compound which does not significantly disturb charge transportation, and a compound which does not reveal strong absorption of visible light is suitably used. A polymeric compound having charge transporting property can be used in a charge transporting layer without mixing with a charge transporting material having low molecular weight. As the polymeric compound, there are exemplified poly(N-vinylcarbazole), polyaniline or derivative thereof, polythiophene or derivative thereof, pcly(p-phenylenevinylene) or derivative thereof, poly(2,5-thienylenevinylene) or derivative thereof, polycarbonate, polyacrylate, polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride and polysiloxane. A coating method is preferably used since film-forming can be conducted easily. The charge transporting layer is required to have at least such thickness that does not generate pinholes, however, too large thickness is not preferable since resistance of a device increases and high driving voltage is required. Therefore, the thickness of a charge transporting layer is preferably from 1nm to 1 µm, more preferably from 2 nm to 500 nm, particularly preferably from 5nm to 200 nm. Then, an cathode is provided on a light emitting layer or electron transporting layer. This cathode will act as an electron injecting cathode. The material thereof is not particularly restricted, and a material having low work function is preferable. For example, Al, In, Mg, Ca, Li, Mg-Ag alloy, In-Ag alloy, Mg-In alloy, Mg-Al alloy, Mg-Li alloy, Al-Li alloy, Al-Ca alloy or graphite film are used. A vacuum deposition method or sputtering method are used for producing a cathode. In the present invention, the reason why the polymeric fluorescent substance functions as a luminescent material having long wave length is that long wavelength fluorescence from orange to red is given since the polymeric fluorescent substance has a divalent condensed polycyclic aromatic group of specific size having a bonding site at specific position. Examples will be described below for illustrating the present invention in detail, however, the present invention is not restricted to them. <Calculation of atomic orbital coefficient of highest occupied molecular orbital and selection of carbon atom having bonding part> Atomic orbital coefficients of pyrene, perylene and coronene which are examples of a condensed polycyclic aromatic compound obtained by substituting all substitutents of Ar 1 by hydrogen atoms and bonding hydrogen atoms to two bonding parts, were calculated using a molecular orbital calculation program, MOPAC 93 Revision Number 2 (JCPE program number: P081) by AM1 method while optimizing structure (key word: AM1 PRECISE EF LET DDMIN = 0.0 PULAY VECTORS).

The ultraviolet visible absorption spectrum and fluorescent spectrum of this film were measured by an auto-recording spectrophotometer, UV 365 manufactured by Shimadzu Corp. and a fluorescent spectrophotometer, 850 manufactured by Hitachi Ltd., respectively. <Evaluation of heat-resistance by Differential Scanning Calorimetry> Thermal analysis of a polymeric fluorescent substance was conducted using a differential scanning calorimeter, DSC 200 manufactured by Seiko Instrument Inc. Any sample revealed endothermic peak which is believed to correspond to softening of a polymer. Reference Synthesis Example 1 <Synthesis of dibromopyrene> Pyrene (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co.,Ltd.) was reacted with 2-fold equivalent of bromine under reflux in a carbon teterachloride solvent to synthesize dibromopyrene.

The ratio of 3,6-perylenedicarboxyaldehyde to 3,9-perylenedicarboxyaldehyde was found to be about 1:1 by integration ratio of protons by 1 H-NMR. Example 1 <Polymeric fluorescent substance 1> 2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-p-xylylene dichloride was reacted with tri-n-butylphosphine in an acetone solvent to synthesize a phosphonium salt. 3.68 g of the resulted phosphonium salt and 1.29 g of pyrenedicarboxyaldehyde were dissolved in an ethanol/chloroform mixed solvent. To this solution was added dropwise a solution prepared by dissolving 5 ml of 12% lithium methoxide methanol solution into 20 ml of ethanol. After the addition, the reaction was conducted subsequently for 5 hours at room temperature. After left overnight at room temperature, the generated precipitate was recovered, washed with ethanol, dissolved in methylene chloride, after removing insoluble components, methanol was added to this solution for re-precipitation, and the generated precipitate was recovered. This precipitate was washed with ethanol, then, dried under reduced pressure to obtain 0.3 g of a polymer. The resulted polymer is called polymeric fluorescent substance 1. The repeating unit of polymeric fluorescent substance 1 estimated by the feed ratio of monomers and the kind of polymerization reaction is shown by the following formula (9) wherein the pyrenediyl group represents 1,6- and 1,8-pyrenedily groups. The polystyrene-reduced number average molecular weight of polymeric fluorescent substance 1 was 3.3 × 10 3 . The 1 H-NMR of this polymeric fluorescent substance 1 showed a spectrum which corresponds to a polymer having the repeating unit represented by the formula (9). Polymeric fluorescent substance 1 could be easily dissolved in chloroform. The fluorescence peak wavelength of polymeric fluorescent substance 1 was 656 nm and the temperature at which DSC endothermic peak was shown was 57.3°C. Ar 1 in polymeric fluorescent substance 1 represents 1,6- and 1,8-pyrenediyl groups, and the condensed polycyclic aromatic compound is pyrene and has a plane of symmetry and twofold axis vertical to the plane including pyrene. The carbon atoms having a bonding part should be two selected from 1, 3, 6, 8, 4, 5, 9, 10 which are not adjacent, as is known from the calculation regarding pyrene. The pyrenediyl group in polymeric fluorescent substance 1 satisfies this requirement since it has a bonding part on 1, 6 or 1,8 carbon atom. <Fabrication and evaluation of device> A chloroform solution of polymeric fluorescent substance 1 obtained above was coated by a spin coating method on a glass substrate on which a 200 nm thick ITO film had been provided by sputtering to form a film of polymeric fluorescent substance 1 having a thickness of 40 nm as a light emitting layer. Subsequently, this was dried at 120°C for 1 hour under reduced pressure, then, 50 nm of tris(8-quinolinol)aluminum (Alq 3 ) was deposited as an electron transporting layer on the light emitting layer. Finally, 100 mm of aluminum-lithium alloy (Al:Li = 99:1 by weight) was deposited as a cathode on the electron transporting layer, to obtain an organic EL device having two-layer structure. The degrees of vacuum during the deposition were all 1.1×10 -3 Pa (8×10 -6 torr) or less. When voltage of about 10 V was applied to this device, red EL luminescence of polymeric fluorescent substance 1 was observed. The EL peak wavelength was 680 nm. Example 2 <Polymeric fluorescent substance 2> 2-methoxy-5-octyloxy-p-xylylene dichloride was reacted with triphenylphosphine in a N,N-dimethylformamide solvent to synthesize a phosphonium salt. 4.29 g of the resulted phosphonium salt and 1.29 g of pyrenedicarboxyaldehyde were dissolved in an ethanol/chloroform mixed solvent. To this solution was added dropwise a solution prepared by dissolving 5 ml of 12% lithium methoxide methanol solution into 20 ml of ethanol. After the addition, the reaction was conducted subsequently for 5 hours at room temperature. After left overnight at room temperature, the generated precipitate was recovered, washed with ethanol, subsequently washed with an ethanol/ion-exchang water mixed solvent, and further washed with ethanol. This precipitate was dried under reduced pressure to obtain 1.0 g of a polymer. The resulted polymer is called polymeric fluorescent substance 2. The repeating unit of polymeric fluorescent substance 2 estimated by the feed ratio of monomers and the kind of polymerization reaction is shown by the following formula (10) wherein the pyrenediyl group represents 1,6- and 1,8-pyrenedily groups. The polystyrene-reduced number average molecular weight of polymeric fluorescent substance 2 was 7.9 × 10 3 . The 1 H-NMR of this polymeric fluorescent substance 2 showed a spectrum which corresponds to a polymer having the repeating unit represented by the formula (10). Polymeric fluorescent substance 2 could be easily dissolved in chloroform. The fluorescence peak wavelength of polymeric fluorescent substance 2 was 608 nm and the temperature at which DSC endothermic peak was shown was 24.4°C.
