  • Patent number: 8927978
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide an organic electroluminescence (EL) element formed using a relatively stable new electron injection material in an atmosphere of approximately ordinary pressure. An organic EL element of a preferable embodiment is an organic EL element including a supporting substrate, an anode, a light-emitting layer, an electron injection layer, and a cathode in this order, in which the electron injection layer is formed by applying an ink including an ionic polymer so as to form a film, and the cathode is formed by applying an ink including a material which forms the cathode so as to form a film or transferring a conductive thin film which forms the cathode.

  • Patent number: 8927114
    Abstract: A layer included in an electroluminescent element is required to be thickened to optimize light extraction efficiency of the electroluminescent element and to prevent short-circuit between electrodes. However, in a conventional element material, desired light extraction efficiency cannot be accomplished since drive voltage rises or power consumption is increased as the element material is thickened. A composite is formed by mixing a conjugated molecule having low ionization potential and a substance having an electron-accepting property to the conjugated molecule. A composite layer included in an element is formed using the composite as an element material. The composite layer is arranged between a first electrode and a light emitting layer or between a second electrode and a light emitting layer. The composite layer has high conductivity; therefore, drive voltage does not rise even if a film thickness is increased.

  • Patent number: 8916857
    Abstract: A light-emitting element disclosed in the present invention includes a light-emitting layer and a first layer between a first electrode and a second electrode, in which the first layer is provided between the light-emitting layer and the first electrode. The present invention is characterized by the device structure in which the first layer comprising a hole-transporting material is doped with a hole-blocking material or an organic compound having a large dipole moment. This structure allows the formation of a high performance light-emitting element with high luminous efficiency and long lifetime. The device structure of the present invention facilitates the control of the rate of the carrier transport, and thus, leads to the formation of a light-emitting element with a well-controlled carrier balance, which contributes to the excellent characteristics of the light-emitting element of the present invention.

  • Patent number: 8916854
    Abstract: A light-emitting element includes an anode, a cathode, a luminescent layer that is disposed between the anode and the cathode and emits light by applying a current between the anode and the cathode, and an organic layer that is disposed in contact with the anode and the luminescent layer between the anode and the luminescent layer and functions to transport holes. The organic layer includes a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer. The hole injection layer and the hole transport layer each contain an electron transport material that can transport electrons. The electron transport material content in the hole injection layer is different from that in the hole transport layer.
