Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for backlight, outside and the upholstery of display unit, lighting apparatus, display unit and the organic electroluminescence device (OLED) that the plane shows the source.More specifically, the present invention relates to have good characteristic aspect luminous efficiency and the durability and between anode and negative electrode, comprising the organic electroluminescence device of luminophor layer, wherein on anode, provide to have 0.2 level and smooth intermediate layer to 30nm thickness.
Background technology
Organic luminescent device has at first been reported its high radiance (luminance) emission (referring to, Appl.Phys.Lett., Vol.51, page 913 (1987)) by the people such as C.W.Tang of Kodak in 1987.From that time, obtain rapid development aspect the improvement of material development and device architecture, and in recent years, in fact organic luminescent device is being used for the demonstration of automobile-used sound equipment or cellular phone.For further widening the purposes of this organic electroluminescent (EL) device, the developing material of the current device performance that has actively carried out being used to improving emission effciency, glow color or durability aspect or the exploitation of panchromatic demonstration.For further improving the organic light-emitting device performance, be necessary to set up device architecture that is suitable for material behavior and the method for making device with the exploitation luminescent material.The method of improving device property is low molecule or polymer material and difference according to luminescent material.Begin to describe background technology from lower-molecular substance.
The luminescent material that is used for organic electroluminescence device that people such as C.W.Tang propose is a low molecular compound.Less than what change be at that time and now, utilize low molecular compound as luminescent material, vacuum deposition method is widely used in being formed with organic electroluminescence devices.In the organic electroluminescence device that people such as C.W.Tang propose, by vapour deposition two kinds of low molecular compounds of sequential aggradation on anode substrate, and further thereon deposition cathode have the device of double-layer structure with formation.Select an organic layer with injection and transporting holes (hole transport compound), and select another organic layer to inject and transmission electronic (electric transmission compound).Interface between two-layer is provided for the light emission (referring to U.S. Patent No. 4,356,429 and be used for other patent publication No. of instantiation) of the position of electrode and hole-recombination and generation.
The above-mentioned organic electroluminescence device that has a double-layer structure in the exploitation has obtained great development in early days, and has provided a plurality of examples, has the improvement that three layers or more multi-layered sandwich construction obtain device performance by employing in these examples.
Therefore, for converting electrical energy into luminous energy, attempt to have the organic compound of different carrier transmission characteristics also further by improving device performance with best-fit order layer by layer deposition compound by combination with minimal losses.Not only aspect hole transport or the electron transport material but also all carrying out being used to obtain the needed material improvement of high-performance aspect the luminescent material.As a result, by replacing fluorescent material with phosphor material, obtained to surpass 5% external quantum efficiency, this external quantum efficiency of 5% is said to be maximal efficiency (the Proceedings of the 11 that adopts fluorescent material ThInternational Workshopon Inorganic and Organic Electroluminescence (EL2002), pages 283-286,2002).
The factor that helps improving device performance not only is to constitute the luminescent material of device, and luminescent material is applied the anode of voltage and the formation of negative electrode greatly influences performance too.
Known now, by the negative electrode of use low work function and the anode of high work function, can significantly reduce the operating voltage of organic electroluminescent (EL) device.As described in people's such as people's such as Tang U.S. Patent No. 4,885,211 and Van Slyke the U.S. Patent No. 5,059,062, the negative electrode preferably metal by being lower than 4.0eV in conjunction with its work function and its work function metal of being higher than 4.0eV constitutes.People's such as Hung U.S. Patent No. 5,677,572 has been described and has been utilized the LiF-Al bilayer to inject with the electronics that improves organic electroluminescent (EL) device.
In organic electroluminescence device, because its transparency, high conductivity and high work function, anode is formed by tin indium oxide (ITO) usually.But the organic electroluminescence device of making by the film that directly forms the hole transport compound on naked ITO surface has inadequate I-E characteristic and lower job stability usually.It is mainly owing to the dielectric breakdown of the electric field that causes for the high injection barrier in hole, by the lip-deep projection of ITO.A kind of method of avoiding these problems is to introduce the method in intermediate layer between ITO and hole transport compound.For example, people's examples such as Van Slyke when being attached to copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) on the ITO surface in advance, the organic assembly of Zhi Zaoing has stability (the Organic electroluminescent devices with improvedstability of raising thus, S.A.Van Slyke, C.H.Chen and C.W.Tang, Applied Physics Letters, Vol.69,2160,1996).But when inserting the CuPc layer between ITO and the hole transport compound, the hole injection barrier that exists on the interface between CuPc and the hole transmission layer is still very high, and this causes driving voltage to increase.From CuPc, the exploitation of material has been carried out extensive studies to alleviate the injection barrier for the hole.Under any circumstance, utilize the characteristic of low molecular compound, attempt by utilizing the only compound of vacuum moulding machine layer by layer deposition on anode surface to improve device performance.
As mentioned above, although vacuum moulding machine is the method that is widely used in the film that forms low mulecular luminescence material, shortcoming need to be vacuum plant.And the area of the organic film that will form is big more, and just difficult more formation has the organic film of uniform thickness and forms high-resolution patterning.Therefore, this method is unsuitable for the batch process of large tracts of land panel.And this method has in formation and also has difficulty aspect the sandwich construction of suitable film thickness.
As the method that addresses these problems, spin-coating method, ink-jet method and print process that development is considered to suitable organic light-emitting device enlarged areas and batch process form method as film.In these methods, when coating is dissolved in luminescence polymer material in the organic solvent when forming film on anode, the coating of luminescent layer is finished.Have only and when forming negative electrode, just carry out vapour deposition.Even utilizing under the organic light-emitting device situation of luminescence polymer material, the improvement of material is necessary for obtaining high performance device, as the situation of the device that utilizes low mulecular luminescence material.And improved mode is different from the situation of the device of the sandwich construction with low molecular material.
In organic light-emitting device typical structure of the present invention, on transparent substrates, form anode (transparent), intermediate layer, luminescent layer and negative electrode in regular turn.Here, the intermediate layer can be called anode buffer layer, and in order to insert this intermediate layer by making anode surface smoothly prevent electrical short and alleviating the purpose that stops that the hole from the luminescent layer to the anode is injected.The effect of the desired effect of antianode resilient coating and the CuPc that proposes in making low molecule organic luminescent device much at one.Make the polymer organic luminescent device by the polymer that coating is dissolved in the organic solvent, and by subsequently by dry process will on be deposited to and make low molecule organic luminescent device in the lower floor.Therefore, slightly different under required characteristic in the intermediate layer in the polymer organic luminescent device and the low molecule organic luminescent device situation.Just, below during the step that the upper strata is coated on the intermediate layer 2 very crucial: the composition of intermediate layer material must be not dissolved in the solvent that is used on the intermediate layer coating upper strata, if these compositions can not be dissolved in the solvent, then they should not peeled off by physical impacts or disperse when coating.And when finishing drying steps after coating, the interface between upper strata and the intermediate layer should have sufficient adhesive force.Under this condition, electrical characteristics that require the intermediate layer to have to be presented (can make anode surface level and smooth, alleviate for stopping of injecting of hole etc.) and physics and chemical characteristic as low molecule organic electroluminescent device (should not experience change as be accompanied by energising and place and in the crystallization and the diffusion of multilayer).
The aqueous solution that will gather the mixture of ethylidene dioxy thiophene (PEDOT) and polystyrolsulfon acid ester (PSS) usually is used for the intermediate layer.For this intermediate layer, pointed out such problem, the polystyrolsulfon acid ester that promptly comprises as outside dopant infiltrates to be gone up luminescent layer and makes its deterioration thus.
This problem that causes for the counter ion that comprises in the anode buffer layer by moving, although the Japanese translation of announcing of PCT international publication No.2003-509816 (WO2001/01888) discloses the method for the anode buffer layer that utilizes self-doped polyaniline, it does not successfully present enough characteristics of this layer.
As relating to technology of the present invention, the open No.2000-311869 of Japanese Patent Laid discloses the surface modifying method by the organic electroluminescence device of radio frequency (RF) plasma treatment.But it is different with the application of the present invention that wherein forms new layer on anode surface that this plasma is used.The open No.2000-150171 (EP 1026757A2) of Japanese Patent Laid discloses a kind of organic electroluminescence device, be aggregated on the anode by radio frequency plasma wherein that to form its thickness be 0.2 to 3nm, preferred 0.4 to 1nm thin polymer film, and luminous sandwich construction is provided thereon.But the disclosure is not described and is comprised the single luminescent layer of polymer as luminescent material.
