  • 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: 8900728
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a material which is excellent in a hole injecting property and a hole transporting property, and to provide a light emitting element and a light emitting device using a material which is excellent in a hole injecting property and a hole transporting property. The present invention provides a carbazole derivative represented by a general formula (1). The carbazole derivative according to the present invention is excellent in the hole injecting property. By using the carbazole derivative according to the present invention as a hole injecting material for a hole injecting layer of a light emitting element, a driving voltage can be reduced. In addition, a lower driving voltage, improvement of the luminous efficiency, a longer life time, and higher reliability can be realized by applying the material to a light emitting element or a light emitting device.
