Title: Tandem organic electroluminescence device

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The invention relates to a tandem organic electroluminescence device, in particular, to a warm color (having a low color temperature) white organic electroluminescence device. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     In recent years, development of a white color organic electroluminescence device (organic EL device) has been actively conducted due to its application as a mono-color display apparatus, illumination such as backlight, a full-color display device using a color filter or the like. In particular, when a white organic EL device is used in illumination, a white organic EL device is required to have a high luminous efficiency which is equal to or higher than the luminous efficiency of a fluorescent organic EL device. Many methods for obtaining white emission by an organic EL device are known. Of these methods, only a few methods can obtain white emission by using one emitting material. Normally, two or three types of emitting materials are caused to emit light simultaneously in one organic EL device. 
     Most of conventional white color organic EL devices for use in illumination purposes are non-stack all-fluorescence devices (non-tandem devices which only emit fluorescent color)(Patent Document 1). However, since all emission color is fluorescent color, these devices have low luminous efficiency.  FIG. 7  shows the relationship between the color temperature and the efficiency of a non-static all fluorescence device. 
     In a non-stack device, a blue emitting layer, a green emitting layer and a red emitting layer are provided between a pair of electrodes. Therefore, in principal, it is possible to cause to emit an arbitral color emphatically by improving the device configuration. However, when emitting layers are stacked, energy excited by the recombination of electrons and holes tends to be diffused to adjacent emitting layers. In particular, since diffusion of energy from a blue emitting layer having a high energy level is significant, adjustment of the color temperature of a white emitting device is not easy. 
     On the other hand, a white emitting tandem device is known (Patent Document 2). In particular, in a tandem device, as for red and green colors, a technology has already been developed for improving the luminous efficiency by using a phosphorescent material which has already been put into practical use, thereby to improve the luminance of white color (Patent Document 3). In Example 3 of Patent Document 3, two phosphorescent layers and a fluorescent layer are stacked with an intermediate layer being present therebetween, i.e. a structure represented by phosphorescent red emitting layer and phosphorescent green emitting layer/intermediate layer/fluorescent blue emitting layer.  FIG. 7  shows the relationship between the color temperature and the efficiency of such tandem device. As shown in  FIG. 7 , in a region where the color temperature is high, a high luminous efficiency can be obtained. However, in a region where the color temperature is low, luminous efficiency is lowered in order to suppress blue fluorescence.

     MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION 
     The organic EL device of the invention is a tandem organic electroluminescence device comprising a first emitting layer, an intermediate unit and a second emitting unit being stacked between opposing electrodes, wherein the first emitting unit comprises a blue fluorescent dopant and a red fluorescent dopant, and the second emitting unit comprises a red phosphorescent dopant and a green phosphorescent dopant. 
     The opposing electrodes are an anode and a cathode, and the first emitting unit may be on the anode side or the cathode side. 
     The first emitting unit may be a stacked fluorescent emitting layer of a blue emitting layer and a red emitting layer or may be a fluorescent layer of a mixture of a blue emitting layer and a red emitting layer. The second emitting unit may be a stacked phosphorescent emitting layer of a red emitting layer and a green emitting layer or may be a phosphorescent layer of a mixture of a red emitting layer and a green emitting layer. 
     The organic EL device of the invention may comprises three or more emitting units. 
     In another embodiment, the organic EL device is a tandem organic EL device comprising a first emitting unit, an intermediate unit and a second emitting unit being stacked between opposing electrodes, 
     the first emitting unit comprising a fluorescent dopant having an emission wavelength of 400 to 490 nm and a fluorescent dopant having an emission wavelength of 560 to 700 nm; and 
     the second emitting unit comprising a phosphorescent dopant having an emission wavelength of 560 to 700 nm and a phosphorescent dopant having an emission wavelength of 490 to 560 nm. 
     The first emitting unit may comprise the blue fluorescent dopant and the yellow fluorescent dopant; and the second emitting unit may comprise the red phosphorescent dopant and the green phosphorescent dopant. 
     Further, the first emitting unit may comprise a first emitting layer and a second emitting layer, and the first emitting layer may comprise the yellow fluorescent dopant, the second emitting layer may comprise the blue fluorescent dopant, the second emitting unit may comprise a third emitting layer and a fourth emitting layer, the third emitting layer may comprise the red phosphorescent dopant, and the fourth emitting layer may comprise the green phosphorescent dopant. 
     Here, the emission wavelength of the emission color of the emitting unit and dopant contained in the emitting unit mean the maximum wavelength (“main peak wavelength”) of the peak wavelengths of the emission spectrum of the dopant in the solution state. 
     The main peak wavelength means the peak wavelength of an emission spectrum at which the emission intensity is the maximum in the emission spectra measured in a toluene solution having a concentration of 10 −5  mol/l or more and 10 −6  mol/l or less. 
     The peak wavelength of the emission spectrum in the solution measured by this method is about 10 nm shorter than the peak wavelength of emission from the emitting layer of a device prepared by using the same dopant (that is, the maximum wavelength of emission of each element mentioned later (a red fluorescent emitting layer, a blue fluorescent emitting layer, a green phosphorescent emitting layer and a red phosphorescent emitting layer). The reason therefor is that, the concentration of a dopant contained in a solution is lower than the concentration of a dopant contained in a device. 
     One embodiment of the organic EL device of the invention is shown in  FIG. 1 . 
     In  FIG. 1 , on a substrate  1 , an anode  2 , a first emitting unit  3 , an intermediate unit  4 , a second emitting unit  5  and a cathode  6  are stacked. 
     For example, as shown in  FIG. 2 , the first emitting unit  3  comprises a hole-transporting region  31 , a first emitting layer (fluorescence)  32 , a second emitting layer (fluorescence)  33  and an electron-transporting region  34 . One of the first emitting layer  32  and the second emitting layer  33  is a blue fluorescent emitting layer and the other is a red fluorescent emitting layer. The first emitting layer  32  and the second emitting layer  33  each may be a fluorescent emitting layer (single layer) of a mixture of blue and red. 
     For example, as shown in  FIG. 3 , the second emitting unit  5  comprises a hole-transporting region  51 , a third emitting layer (phosphorescence)  52 , a fourth emitting layer (phosphorescence)  53  and an electron-transporting region  54 . One of the third emitting layer  52  and the fourth emitting layer  53  is a green phosphorescent emitting layer, and the other is a red phosphorescent emitting layer. The third emitting layer  52  and the fourth emitting layer  53  may be a phosphorescent emitting layer (single layer) of a mixture of green and red. 
     As shown in  FIG. 4 , when the first emitting layer  32  is a red fluorescent emitting layer and the second emitting layer  33  is a blue fluorescent emitting layer, it is preferred that the first emitting unit  3  have a blocking layer  34   a  in contact with the blue fluorescent emitting layer  33  in an electron-transporting region  34 . Due to the presence of this blocking layer  34   a , triplet excitons generated in the blue fluorescent emitting layer  33  are confined within the emitting layer, and the triplet excitons collide and are fused at a high frequency to generate singlet excitons (this phenomenon is hereinafter referred to as the Triplet-Triplet Fusion=TTF phenomenon), whereby fluorescent emission can be conducted efficiently. Specifically, when the blue fluorescent emitting layer  33  contains a host compound and a blue fluorescent dopant, by allowing the triplet energy E T   h  of the host compound to be smaller than the triplet energy E T   b  of the compound forming the block layer  34   a , the triplet energy E T   h  of the host compound is prevented from diffusing to the block layer  34   a . Also, by allowing the triplet energy E T   d  of the blue fluorescent emitting dopant to be smaller than the triplet energy E T   h  of the compound forming the block layer  34   a , the triplet energy E T   d  of the dopant is prevented from diffusing to the block layer  34   a.    
     Preferred examples are shown in  FIGS. 5A and 5B . As shown in  FIG. 5A , when taking the triplet energy of the host and the dopant as E T   h  and E T   d , respectively, a relationship E T   h &lt;E T   d  is satisfied. By satisfying this relationship, further as shown in  FIG. 5B , triplet excitons recombined and generated on the host do not move to a dopant which has a higher triplet energy. The triplet excitons recombined and generated on dopant molecules is rapidly energy-transferred to host molecules. That is, due to collision of triplet excitons on the host efficiently by a TTF phenomenon without move of triplet excitons to a dopant, singlet excitons are generated. Further, since the singlet energy E s   d  of the dopant is smaller than the singlet energy E s   h  of the host, singlet excitons generated by the TTF phenomenon are energy-transferred from the host to the dopant, thereby contributing to the fluorescent emission of the dopant. By allowing the relationship of the triplet energy of the block layer, the host and the dopant to that mentioned above, triplet excitons collide with each other before the triplet excitons are thermally deactivated, whereby singlet excitons are generated efficiently, whereby luminous efficiency is improved. 
     When the first emitting unit  4  has a fluorescent emitting layer of a mixture of blue and red, the above-mentioned effects can be obtained by providing a blocking layer adjacent to this mixture fluorescent emitting layer in an electron transporting region. 
     The triplet energy can be measured by means of a commercially available apparatus F-4500 (manufactured by Hitachi Ltd.). E T  can be converted by the following formula: 
         E   T ( eV )=1239.85/λ edge  
 
     The “λ edge ” means, when the phosphorescent intensity and the wavelength are taken at the vertical axis and the horizontal axis respectively to express a phosphorescent spectrum and a tangential line is drawn against the rise on the shorter wavelength side of the phosphorescent spectrum, a wavelength value at which the tangential line and the horizontal axis cross (unit: nm). 
     As shown in  FIG. 6 , in the first emitting unit  3 , between the first emitting layer  32  and the second emitting layer  33 , a space layer  35  (charge blocking layer) may be provided. The charge blocking layer serves to block energy of the HOMO level and the LUMO level between the adjacent emitting layers to adjust charge injection to the emitting layer, whereby carrier balance of injected electrons and holes in the emitting layer can be controlled. 
     In a tandem device, since an intermediate electrode layer (intermediate unit) is provided between a pair of electrodes, the same amount of current is flown to the first emitting unit and the second emitting unit. In a conventional tandem device having a blue emitting unit and red/green emitting unit disclosed in Patent Document 3, the same amount of current is flown to the blue emitting unit and the red/green unit. Here, for blue color, since no phosphorescent material which is suited to practical use is available, the luminous efficiency is about 25% in terms of internal quantum efficiency. For red/green colors, if a commercially available phosphorescent material is used, about 100% of internal quantum efficiency can be obtained. However, if the red/green emitting layers are included in the single emitting unit, the amount of current which can be used in each emitting layer is decreased by half (50%). 
     In such a tandem configuration, since only the blue emitting layer is included in the single emitting unit, white color emission having a high color temperature can be obtained. In order to obtain a white emitting device having a low color temperature, it is required to lower the luminous efficiency of the blue emitting layer. If the luminous efficiency of the blue emitting layer is decreased, the lifetime of the device is also shortened. A white emitting device having a high color temperature is suitable for use in a display which requires a color temperature of 10000K or higher, however, a warm white color emitting device cannot be realized. 
     However, according to the invention, in the first emitting unit of a tandem organic EL device having the first emitting unit (fluorescence) and the second emitting unit (phosphorescence), by forming an emitting layer in such a manner that a red emitting layer is stacked on a blue emitting layer or by forming an emitting layer as a mixture layer, a warm color white emitting device is realized, and at the same time, luminous efficiency is effectively improved by using a highly efficient blue device configuration. Further, by using a highly efficient blue device configuration, improvement of the lifetime of an entire device can be achieved. 
     The invention is particularly effective in that the lifetime of an entire device can be improved by the above-mentioned highly efficient blue fluorescent device configuration which uses the TTF phenomenon. Therefore, in an illumination having a low color temperature (e.g. color temperature: 2500K to 4000K), a highly efficient device for illumination can be realized. In the meantime, the color temperature means a color temperature according to JIS Z 8725. 
     Hereinbelow, a material for each element will be explained.

     (5) Intermediate Unit 
     An intermediate unit is a layer including an intermediate conductive layer and/or a charge-generating layer or an intermediate conductive layer and/or a charge-generating layer, and serves as the supply source of electrons or holes to be injected into the emission unit. In addition to charges injected from a pair of electrodes, charges supplied from the intermediate unit are also injected into the emitting unit. Accordingly, by providing an intermediate unit, luminous efficiency (current efficiency) relative to the injected current is improved.

     (6) Blocking Layer 
     The blocking layer has a role of preventing diffusion of triplet excitons generated in the emitting layer to an electron-transporting region and of injecting electrons to the emitting layer efficiently. If the electron-injection property to the emitting layer is lowered, the density of the triplet excitons is decreased by the reduction of electron-hole recombination. If the density of the triplet excitons is decreased, the frequency of collision of triplet excitons is decreased, and as a result, a TTF phenomenon does not occur efficiently. In respect of efficient electron injection to the emitting layer, the following two morphologies can be considered as the morphology of the electron-transporting region including the blocking layer. 
     (i) Allowing the electron-transporting region to be a stacked structure of two or more different materials, and providing an electron-injecting layer between the blocking layer and the cathode for efficiently receiving electrons from the cathode. Specific examples of the electron-injecting layer, a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic derivative or the like can be given. 
     In this case, it is preferred that the affinity of the electron-injecting layer Ae—the affinity of the blocking layer Ab&lt;0.2 eV. If these conditions are not satisfied, electron injection from the electron-injecting layer to the blocking layer is deteriorated, and as a result, electrons are accumulated in the electron-transporting region to increase the voltage. At the same time, accumulated electrons collide with the triplet excitons to cause energy quenching. 
     Here, it is preferred that the electron mobility of the material constituting the blocking layer be 10 −6  cm 2 /Vs or more in the range of an electric field intensity of 0.04 to 0.5 MV/cm. 
     Further, it is preferred that the electron mobility of the material constituting the electron-injecting layer be 10 −6  cm 2 /Vs or more in the range of an electric field intensity of 0.04 to 0.5 MV/cm. The reason therefor is that, by this range, injection of electrons to the emitting layer is promoted to increase the density of excitons in the emitting layer, whereby a TTF phenomenon is caused to occur efficiently. 
     (ii) Allowing an electron-transporting region to be formed of one blocking layer. In order to facilitate receiving of electrons from the cathode, the vicinity of the cathode interface in the blocking layer is doped with a donar represented by an alkaline metal. As the donar, it is possible to select at least one selected from the group consisting of a donar metal, a donar metal compound and a donar metal complex. 
     The donar metal means a metal having a work function of 3.8 eV or less. Preferable donar metals include alkaline metals, alkaline earth metals and rare earth metals. More preferable donar metals are Cs, Li, Na, Sr, K, Mg, Ca, Ba, Yb, Eu and Ce. 
     The donar metal compounds mean compounds that contain the above-mentioned donar metals. Preferable donar metal compounds include compounds including an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal or a rare earth metal. More preferably, halides, oxides, carbonates and borates of these metals can be given. For example, a compound represented by MOx (x is a donar metal, x is 0.5 to 1.5), MFx (x is 1 to 3), and M(CO 3 )x (x is 0.5 to 1.5) is given. 
     The donar metal complex is a complex of the above-mentioned donar metals. Preferable donar metal complexes are organic metal complexes of an alkaline metal, an alkaline earth metal or a rare earth metal. An organic metal complex represented by the following formula is preferable.) 
         MQ ) n    
     wherein M is a donar metal, Q is a ligand (preferably, a carboxylic acid derivative, a diketone derivative or a quinoline derivative and n is an integer of 1 to 4). 
     Specific examples of the donar metal complex include a tungsten wheel described in JP-A-2005-72012. Further, a phthalocyanine compound having an alkaline metal or an alkaline earth metal as the central metal or the like disclosed in JP-A-H11-345687 can be used as a donar metal complex. 
     The above-mentioned donar may be used singly or in combination of two or more. 
     In the invention, density of excitons in the interface between the emitting layer and the blocking layer is large. In this case, possibility that holes which do not contribute to the recombination in the emitting layer are injected to the blocking layer is increased. Therefore, as the material used in the blocking layer, a material having excellent oxidation resistance is preferable. 
     Specific examples of the material having excellent oxidation resistance include aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, in particular, one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of the polycyclic aromatic compounds represented by the following formulas (A), (B) and (C) disclosed in the Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-090379.

A material for a blocking layer having a thickness of about 100 nm to 200 nm is sandwiched by an anode and a cathode, and a minor alternating voltage of 100 mV or less is applied while applying a biased DC voltage. The value of alternating current (the absolute value and the phase) that flows at this time is measured. This measurement is conducted while changing the frequency of the alternating voltage. The complex impedance (Z) is calculated from the current value and the voltage value. At this time, the dependency of the imaginary part (1 mM) of the modulus M=iωZ (i: imaginary unit, ω: angular frequency) on the frequency is obtained. The reciprocal of the frequency ω at which the 1 mM becomes maximum is defined as the response time of electrons that conduct the blocking layer. The electron mobility is calculated by the following formula: 
       Electron mobility=(film thickness of a material of the blocking layer) 2 /(response time·voltage)
 
     As the specific examples of the material having an electric mobility of 10 −6  cm 2 /Vs or more in the range of a field intensity of 0.04 to 0.5 MV/cm, a material having a fluoranthene derivative at a skeleton part of the polycyclic aromatic ring can be given.

     Example 1 
     (1) Fabrication of an Organic EL Device 
     The organic EL device according to Example 1 was fabricated as follows. 
     A glass substrate (manufactured by Geomatics Co.), measuring 25 mm×75 mm×1.1 mm thick, with an ITO transparent electrode (anode) was subjected to ultrasonic cleaning in isopropyl alcohol for 5 minutes and then to UV ozone cleaning for 30 minutes. 
     On this glass substrate, a first emitting unit was formed. 
     The cleaned glass substrate with transparent electrode lines was mounted on a substrate holder in a vacuum deposition device. Compound HI1 was stacked on the surface where the transparent electrode lines were formed so as to cover the transparent electrode by resistance heating deposition. By this, a hole-injecting layer with a thickness of 50 nm which is in adjacent with the anode was formed. 
     On this hole-injection layer, compound HT1 was stacked by resistance heating deposition. As a result, a hole-transporting layer having a thickness of 45 nm was formed. 
     On this hole-transporting layer, compound BH1 as the host and compound BD1 as the fluorescent emitting dopant were co-deposited by resistance heating. As a result, 5 nm-thick emitting layer (blue fluorescent emitting layer) showing blue emission was formed. The concentration of compound BD1 was 5 mass %. 
     On this blue fluorescent emitting layer, compound BH1 as the host and compound RD1 as the fluorescent emitting dopant were co-deposited by resistance heating. As a result, a 25 nm-thick emitting layer (red fluorescent emitting layer) showing red emission was formed. The concentration of compound RD1 was 1 mass %. 
     On the red fluorescent emitting layer, Li as the electron donating material and compound ET1 as the electron-transporting material were co-deposited by resistance heating. The lithium dispenser manufactured by SAES Getters (LI/BD/GR/100×24×6/200) was used as a lithium deposition source. As a result, a 20 nm-thick electron-injecting layer was formed. The Li concentration was 5 mass %. 
     In this way, a first emitting unit formed of a hole-injecting layer which is in adjacent to the anode, a hole-transporting layer, a blue fluorescent emitting layer, a red fluorescent emitting layer and an electron-injecting layer was formed. 
     Next, an intermediate unit was formed on this first emitting unit. 
     When the intermediate unit was formed, a zinc oxide layer was stacked by resistance heating deposition. Further, compound HAT as the electron-accepting material was stacked by the resistance heating deposition, whereby a hole-injecting layer having a thickness of 10 nm was formed. 
     In this way, an intermediate unit formed of a zinc oxide layer was formed. 
     Next, a second emitting unit was formed on this intermediate unit. 
     When the second emitting unit was formed, first, on the intermediate unit, compound HAT as the electron-accepting material was stacked by the resistance heating deposition, whereby a hole-injecting layer having a thickness of 10 nm was formed. 
     On this hole-injecting layer, compound HI1 was stacked by the resistance heating deposition. As a result, a first hole-transporting layer having a thickness of 20 nm was formed. 
     On this first hole-transporting layer, compound HT1 was stacked by resistance heating deposition. As a result, a second hole-transporting layer having a thickness of 10 nm was formed. 
     On this second hole-transporting layer, compound PRH1 as the host and compound Ir(tpiq) 2 (acac)(PRD1) as the phosphorescent emitting dopant were co-deposited by the resistance heating deposition. As a result, a red emitting layer (red phosphorescent emitting layer) having a thickness of 10 nm showing red emission was formed. The concentration or compound of Ir(tpiq) 2 (acac) was 2 mass %. 
     On this red phosphorescent emitting layer, compound PGH1 as the host and compound Ir(ppy) 3 (PGD1) as the phosphorescent emitting dopant were co-deposited by the resistance heating. As a result, an emitting layer (green phosphorescent emitting layer) having a thickness of 30 nm showing green emission was formed. The concentration of the compound Ir(ppy) 3  was 10 mass %. On this green phosphorescent emitting layer, compound BAlq was stacked by the resistance heating deposition. As a result, a hole-blocking layer having a thickness of 10 nm was formed. 
     Then, on this emitting layer, Li as the electron-donating material and compound ET1 as the electron-transporting material were co-deposited by resistance heating. As a result, an electron-injecting layer (thickness: 25 nm) which is adjacent to the cathode. The Li concentration was 5 mass %. 
     In this way, a second emitting unit formed of a first hole-transporting layer, a second hole-transporting layer, a red phosphorescent emitting layer, a green phosphorescent emitting layer and an electron-injecting layer which is adjacent to the cathode was formed. 
     Then, on the electron-injecting layer which is adjacent to the second emitting unit, metal aluminum (Al) was deposited to form a cathode having a thickness of 100 nm. 
     (2) Evaluation of an Organic EL Device 
     The organic EL device fabricated above was driven, and a voltage was applied such that the current density became 10 mA/cm 2 . 
     The EL emission spectrum at the time of driving was measured by means of a spectroradiometer (CS-1000, Konica Minolta, Optics, Inc.). From the resulting spectral radiance, the power efficiency η and the color temperature were calculated. Further, the half life (unit: khrs) was measured by conducting a continuous-current test at an initial luminance of 1,000 cd/m 2 . The results are shown in Table 1. 
     Examples 2 to 26 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 
     Organic EL devices were fabricated in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the configurations of the emitting layer of the first emitting unit and the second emitting unit were changed to those in the emitting layers shown in Tables 1 to 4. 
     The numerals in the parenthesis ( ) in the tables indicate the thickness of each layer (unit: nm) or the concentration of the dopant (unit: %).

     As shown in Tables 1 to 4, although the color temperature is low in Examples and Comparative Examples, efficiency was high in Examples as compared with Comparative Examples. In Comparative Examples, blue emission was suppressed, and hence, efficiency was low due to the presence of discarded energy. On the other hand, in Examples, the discarded energy was allowed to emit as red fluorescence. Further, by addition of new red components, the emission temperature was shifted to the low direction. In order to allow the discarded energy to emit as red fluorescence, and further, in order to allow the suppressed blue emission to emit, efficiency was increased in Examples. Due to such an increase in efficiency, the current density required is lowered when the lifetime is measured at the constant luminance, whereby the device can have a long life.
