  • Patent number: 8883324
    Abstract: Disclosed is an organic electroluminescence device in which an organic thin film which is composed of one or more layers including at least a light-emitting layer is interposed between a cathode and an anode. Since at least one layer of the organic thin film contains a novel aromatic amine derivative, which has an asymmetric structure wherein two different amine units are bonded through a linking group, by itself or as a component of a mixture, molecules are hardly crystallized, thereby improving the production yield of the organic electroluminescence device. This organic electroluminescence device has a long life.

  • Patent number: 8878431
    Abstract: A light emitting device is provided which has a structure for lowering energy barriers at interfaces between layers of a laminate organic compound layer. A mixed layer (105) composed of a material that constitutes an organic compound layer (1) (102) and a material that constitutes an organic compound layer (2) (103) is formed at the interface between the organic compound layer (1) (102) and the organic compound layer (2) (103). The energy barrier formed between the organic compound layer (1) (102) and the organic compound layer (2) (103) thus can be lowered.
