Title: Organic electronics material and method for preparing charge-transporting polymer

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     Embodiments of the present invention relate to an organic electronics material, a method for preparing a charge-transporting polymer, a liquid composition, an organic layer, an organic electronics element, an organic electroluminescence element (an organic EL element), a display element, a lighting device, and a display device. 
     RELATED ART 
     Organic electronics elements are elements that perform electrical operations using organic substances, and are expected to exhibit features such as energy saving, low cost, and flexibility. Examples of the organic electronics elements include organic EL elements, organic photoelectric conversion elements, organic transistors and the like. 
     Further improvements are desired in various element characteristics of the organic EL elements. As an approach to improving the performance of the organic EL elements, attempts have been made to make the organic layers multi-layered and separate the functions in each layer. When the number of layers is increased according to a wet process, the solvent resistance of a lower layer to the solvent of the coating solution used for forming an upper layer is required. 
     In order to make the organic layer multi-layered, for example, a method of utilizing a compound having at least one polymerizable group has been studied (see Patent literature 1 for example).

R 2  to R 8  is independently selected from a group consisting of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group and a heteroaryl group. The halogen atom may be a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a bromine atom and an iodine atom. 
     The alkyl group may be linear, branched or cyclic. The alkyl group preferably has 1 to 22 carbon atoms. The aryl group preferably has 6 to 30 carbon atoms.

     In the present disclosure, the aryl group is an atomic group obtained by removing one hydrogen atom from an aromatic hydrocarbon. The heteroaryl group is an atomic group obtained by removing one hydrogen atom from an aromatic heterocyclic compound. The aromatic hydrocarbon here may be a monocyclic ring, a condensed ring, or a polycyclic ring in which two or more rings selected from a monocyclic ring and a condensed ring are directly bonded via a direct bond.

The fluoroalkyl group preferably has 1 to 4 carbon atoms, more preferably 1 or 2 carbon atoms. The fluoroalkyl group is preferably a perfluoroalkyl group. 
     For example, from the viewpoint of achieving both a deep HOMO level and a large energy gap between HOMO and LUMO, it is preferable that at least one Ar is an aromatic hydrocarbon group having a fluoro group and all of Ar are aromatic hydrocarbon groups having no fluoroalkyl group in the structural unit (1). 
     On the other hand, for example, from the viewpoint of obtaining a deeper HOMO level, it is preferable that at least one Ar is an aromatic hydrocarbon group having a fluoroalkyl group in the structural unit (1). 
     The number of the fluoro group or the fluoroalkyl group contained in the structural unit (1) is preferably 1 to 8, more preferably 1 to 6, further preferably 1 to 4, and particularly preferably 1 to 3. In the case of the above number, the effect of deepening the HOMO level tends to be easily obtained.

     The structural unit (1) preferably comprises, for example, the following structural unit (1a).

     The R which is not a fluoro or fluoroalkyl group is a hydrogen atom or a substituent. Examples of the substituent include the substituent Ra (however, the fluoro group and the fluoroalkyl group are excluded here). From the viewpoint of suppressing the influence of the substituent, all Rs that are not fluoro groups or fluoroalkyl groups may be hydrogen atoms. 
     The structural unit (1) preferably comprises, for example, at least one structural unit selected from a group consisting of the following structural units (1b) to (1e). 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     When the charge-transporting polymer comprises the structural unit (1b) and/or the structural unit (1c), deep HOMO levels and a large energy gap between HOMO and LUMO tend to be easily obtained. When the charge-transporting polymer comprises a structural unit (1d) and/or a structural unit (1e), a deeper HOMO level tends to be easily obtained. When the charge-transporting polymer comprises the structural unit (1e), good solubility of the charge-transporting polymer tends to be easily obtained.

The structural unit (2) is a trivalent or tetravalent structural unit having three or four binding sites with other structural units. By comprising the structural unit (2), the charge-transporting polymer becomes a branched polymer and becomes a polymer having three or more ends in one molecule. The branched polymer can easily increase the molecular weight thereof and tends to exhibit good solubility. The charge-transporting polymer may comprise only one type of the structural unit (2) or may comprise two or more types.

When the content is 15 mol % or less, the content of the structural unit (3) is sufficient, and an organic layer having excellent solvent resistance can be obtained.

However, when the liquid composition contains a solvent comprising an aromatic ether and/or an aromatic halide, good solubility can be easily obtained even when the charge-transporting polymer comprises the structural unit (1). 
     In a preferred example, the liquid composition preferably contains a solvent comprising an aromatic ether. The aromatic ether is preferably an aromatic ether represented by the above formula (A). Specifically, the aromatic ether is preferably anisole and/or phenetol, and more preferably anisole.

     In another preferred example, the liquid composition preferably contains a solvent comprising an aromatic halide. The aromatic ether is preferably an aromatic ether represented by the above formula (B). Specifically, the aromatic halide is preferably chlorobenzene and/or dichlorobenzene, and more preferably chlorobenzene. When a solvent comprising an aromatic halide is used, the charge-transporting polymer can be efficiently and easily dissolved.

The solvent may be a solvent consisting of an aromatic halide only. 
     [Polymerization Initiator] 
     The liquid composition preferably contains a polymerization initiator in order to make the oxetane group contained in the charge-transporting polymer react.

     [Content] 
     The content of the solvent in the liquid composition can be determined in consideration of application to various coating methods. For example, the content of the solvent is preferably such that the ratio of the charge-transporting polymer to the solvent is 0.1% by mass or more, more preferably 0.2% by mass or more, and further preferably 0.5% by mass or more. In addition, the content of the solvent is preferably such that the ratio of the charge-transporting polymer to the solvent is 20% by mass or less, more preferably 15% by mass or less, and further preferably 10% by mass or less.

When the organic layer is formed by the coating method, the layer of the liquid composition obtained after coating may be dried using a hot plate or an oven to remove the solvent. 
     Because the charge-transporting polymer contains the structural unit (3) having a polymerizable functional group, the polymerization reaction of the charge-transporting polymer can be made to proceed by light irradiation, heat treatment or the like to obtain a cured organic layer.

     (Charge-Transporting Polymer 1) 
     In a three-necked round bottom flask, monomer (1b) (5.0 mmol), monomer (2-1c) (2.0 mmol), monomer (3a) (2.0 mmol), monomer (4-1b) (2.0 mmol), methyltri-n-octyl ammonium chloride (“Alicoat 336” of Alfa Aesar) (0.04 g), an aqueous potassium hydroxide solution of 3M (7.79 g), and anisole (53 mL) were added, and the Pd catalytic solution (1.0 mL) was further added and mixed. The obtained mixture was heated to reflux for 2 hours. All operations till now were performed under a nitrogen stream. In addition, all the solvents were used after being degassed by nitrogen bubbling for 30 minutes or more. 
     After completion of the reaction, the organic layer was washed with water and poured into methanol-water (9:1). The resulting precipitate was collected by suction filtration and washed with methanol-water (9:1). The obtained precipitate was dissolved in toluene and reprecipitated from methanol. The obtained precipitate was collected by suction filtration and dissolved in toluene, a metal adsorbent (“Triphenylphosphine, polymer-bound on styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer” manufactured by Strem Chemicals, 200 mg per 100 mg of precipitate) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 2 hours. After completion of the stirring, the metal adsorbent and the insoluble matter were removed by filtration, and then reprecipitation from methanol was performed. The resulting precipitate was collected by suction filtration and washed with methanol. The obtained precipitate was vacuum dried to obtain charge-transporting polymer 1. The charge-transporting polymer 1 had a number average molecular weight of 15,092 and a weight average molecular weight of 56,449. 
     The number average molecular weight and the weight average molecular weight were measured by GPC (polystyrene conversion) using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as the eluent. The measurement conditions are as follows.

     [Solvent Resistance Evaluation] 
     According to the following, organic layers A1 to 22 were formed using charge-transporting polymers 1 to 22, and the solvent resistance (that is, the curability of the charge-transporting polymer) was evaluated by measuring the residual film ratio. The results are shown in Table 3. 
     (Measurement of Residual Film Ratio) 
     The following polymerization initiator (10 mg) was weighed into a 20 mL screw tube, chlorobenzene (10 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred to obtain a polymerization initiator solution. The charge-transporting polymer (10 mg) and chlorobenzene (792 μL) were then added to a 9 mL screw tube to dissolve the charge-transporting polymer. Then, 101 μL of the polymerization initiator solution was added into the 9 mL screw tube and stirred to prepare an ink composition. The ink composition was filtered through a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filter (pore diameter 0.2 μm) and dropped onto a quartz substrate (length 22 mm×width 29 mm×thickness 0.7 mm), and a coating film was formed by a spin coater. Subsequently, heat curing was carried out at 200° C. for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere to form an organic layer having a film thickness of 30 nm on the quartz substrate. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     The absorbance A of the organic layer formed on the quartz substrate was measured using a spectrophotometer (“UV-2700” manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation). Subsequently, the quartz substrate was immersed in anisole (10 mL, 25° C.) for 10 minutes in an environment of 25° C. in a manner that the organic layer after measurement was on the upper surface. The absorbance B of the organic layer after immersion in anisole was measured, and the residual film ratio was calculated from the absorbance A of the formed organic layer and the absorbance B of the organic layer after immersion in anisole using the following expression. The value at the maximum absorption wavelength of the organic layer was used as the value of absorbance. The larger the residual film ratio, the better the solvent resistance.

     [HOMO Level Evaluation] 
     Organic layers B1 to 22 were formed using charge-transporting polymers 1 to 22 in the same manner as in (Measurement of residual film ratio), and the HOMO level was measured. 
     An atmospheric photoelectron spectrometer (“AC-5” manufactured by RIKEN Keiki Co., Ltd.) was used for the HOMO level measurement. The results are shown in Table 3. 
     [Evaluation of Charge-Transporting Property and Heat Resistance] 
     According to the following, HODs (hole-only devices) A1 to B22 were produced using charge-transporting polymers 1 to 22, and their conductivity and heat resistance were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 3. 
     The above polymerization initiator (10 mg) was weighed into a 20 mL screw tube, chlorobenzene (1 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred to obtain a polymerization initiator solution. The charge-transporting polymer (30 mg) and chlorobenzene (782 μL) were then added to a 9 mL screw tube to dissolve the charge-transporting polymer. Then, 93 μL of the polymerization initiator solution was added to the 9 mL screw tube and stirred to prepare an ink composition. The ink composition was filtered with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filter (pore diameter 0.2 μm) and then dropped onto a glass substrate (length 22 mm×width 29 mm×thickness 0.7 mm) on which ITO was patterned to a width of 1.6 mm, and a coating film was formed with a spin coater. Subsequently, heat curing was carried out at 200° C. for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere to form an organic layer having a film thickness of 100 nm on a quartz substrate. The glass substrate was transferred to a vacuum vapour deposition machine, Al (100 nm) was deposited on the organic layer by the vapour deposition method, and sealing treatment was performed to produce HOD A. 
     Similar to the producing of HOD A, the ink composition was spin-coated on a glass substrate, on which ITO was patterned to a width of 1.6 mm, at a rotation speed of 3,000 min −1  to form a coating film. Subsequently, heat curing was carried out at 200° C. for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere, and additional heating was further carried out at 230° C. for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere. After that, HOD B was produced in the same manner as HOD A was produced. 
     A voltage was applied to each of HOD A and B, and voltages A and B at a current density of 300 mA/cm 2  were measured. The smaller the values of the voltages A and B, the better the hole injection function. In addition, the voltage difference (voltage rise value) between the voltage A and the voltage B was obtained. The smaller the voltage difference, the better the heat resistance. The results are shown in Table 3. 
     Voltage A: value measured for HOD A (heated at 200° C. for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere) at a current density of 300 mA/cm 2 . 
     Voltage B: value measured for HOD B (heated at 200° C. for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere, and then heated at 230° C. for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere) at a current density of 300 mA/cm 2 . 
       Voltage difference: value of voltage  B ( V )−voltage  A ( V ).
 
     [Evaluation of Element Characteristics] 
     Organic EL elements 1 to 22 were produced using charge-transporting polymers 1 to 22 according to the following, and the drive voltage, luminous efficiency and emission lifetime were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 3. 
     (Producing of Organic EL Element) 
     The above polymerization initiator (10 mg) was weighed into a 20 mL screw tube, chlorobenzene (10 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred to obtain a polymerization initiator solution. The charge-transporting polymer (10 mg) and chlorobenzene (583 μL) were then added to a 9 mL screw tube to dissolve the charge-transporting polymer. Then, 309 μL of the polymerization initiator solution was added to the 9 mL screw tube and stirred to prepare an ink composition. The ink composition was filtered with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filter (pore diameter 0.2 μm) and then dropped onto a glass substrate (length 22 mm×width 29 mm×thickness 0.7 mm) on which ITO was patterned to a width of 1.6 mm, and a coating film was formed with a spin coater. Then, the film was heated on a hot plate at 200° C. for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere to form a hole injection layer (30 nm). 
     Poly TPD (Poly[N, N′-bis(4-butylphenyl)-N, N′-bis(phenyl)-benzidine] manufactured by Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.]) (10 mg) as a material for the hole transport layer and chlorobenzene (1794 μL) were added into a 9 mL screw tube and stirred to prepare an ink composition. The ink composition was filtered through a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filter (pore size 0.2 μm) and dropped onto the hole injection layer, and a coating film was formed by a spin coater. Then, the film was heated on a hot plate at 220° C. for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere to form a hole transport layer (40 nm). 
     The glass substrate having the hole injection layer and the hole transport layer was transferred into a vacuum vapour deposition machine, and CBP:Ir (ppy) 3  (94:6, 30 nm), BAlq (10 nm), TPBi (30 nm), LiG (0.8 nm) and Al (100 nm) were deposited in this order by the vapour deposition method. Then, sealing treatment was performed to produce an organic EL element. 
     (Evaluation of organic EL element) 
     When a voltage was applied to each organic EL element, green light emission was confirmed. The drive voltage and luminous efficiency at an emission brightness of 5,000 cd/m 2  and the emission lifetime (luminance half-time) at an initial emission brightness of 5,000 cd/m 2  were measured. The measurement results are shown in Table 3.
