Abstract

A material for an organic electroluminescence element, characterized in that it comprises a platinum complex formed from a platinum ion and a ligand having at least one aryl group being not capable of free rotation or at least one aromatic heterocyclic group being not capable of free rotation; a display device, characterized in that it comprises said material for an organic electroluminescence element and exhibits high luminous efficiency and long luminous life; and an illumination device, characterized in that it comprises said material for an organic electroluminescence element and exhibits high luminous efficiency and long luminous life.

Claims (27)

1. An organic electroluminescence element material comprising a platinum complex having a platinum ion and a ligand comprising an aryl group of which free rotation is blocked or an aromatic heterocycle group of which free rotation is blocked, wherein the platinum complex is an ortho-metallated complex,

wherein the ortho-metallated complex is selected from the group consisting of

a platinum complex represented by Formula (7) or a tautomer of a compound represented by Formula (7); and

a platinum complex represented by Formula (8) or a tautomer of a compound represented by Formula (8):

wherein R 23 and R 24 each represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent selected from following Group A; Z 5 represents a group of atoms necessary to form an aromatic heterocycle containing a nitrogen atom; n7 represents an integer of 1 or 2, provided that, when n7 is 1, L7 represents a bidentate ligand; p8 represents an integer of 0-3; and q6 represents an integer of 0-4,

wherein R 25 and R 26 each represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent selected from following Group A; Z 6 represents a group of atoms necessary to form an aromatic heterocycle containing a nitrogen atom; n8 represents an integer of 1 or 2, provided that, when n8 is 1, L8 represents a bidentate ligand; p9represents an integer of 0-3; and q7 represents an integer of 0-4,

Group A:

an alkyl group, a trifluoromethyl group, an aryl group and an aromatic heterocycle group, wherein these groups may further be substituted.

2. An organic electroluminescence element comprising the organic electroluminescence element material of claim 1 .

3. The organic electroluminescence element comprising an emission layer and a hole blocking layer as constituting layers,

wherein the emission layer and the hole blocking layer each comprise the organic electroluminescence element material of claim 1 ; and

the hole blocking layer further comprises a carboline or a carboline of which one of carbon atoms of a hydrocarbon ring constituting a carboline ring of the carboline is replaced with a nitrogen atom.

4. The organic electroluminescence element comprising an emission layer and a hole blocking layer as constituting layers,

wherein the emission layer and the hole blocking layer each comprise the organic electroluminescence element material of claim 1 ; and

the hole blocking layer further comprises a boron derivative.

5. A display device comprising the organic electroluminescence element of claim 1 .

6. An illumination device comprising the organic electroluminescence element of claim 1 .

7. The organic electroluminescence element material of claim 1 , wherein the ortho-metallated complex is a platinum complex represented by Formula (7) or a tautomer of a compound represented by Formula (7).

8. The organic electroluminescence element material of claim 1 , wherein the ortho-metallated complex is a platinum complex represented by Formula (8) or a tautomer of a compound represented by Formula (8).

9. An organic electroluminescence element comprising an emission layer as a constituting layer, wherein the emission layer comprises the organic electroluminescence element material of claim 1 .

10. The organic electroluminescence element of claim 9 , wherein the emission layer comprises a compound represented by Formula (10):

wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 each represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent; nl, n 2 , n 3 , and n 4 each represent an integer of 0-4; and Ar 1 and Ar 2 each represent an arylene group or a divalent aromatic heterocycle group; and L 01 represents a divalent linking group.

11. The organic electroluminescence element of claim 9 , wherein the emission layer comprises a compound represented by Formula (11):

wherein R 5 -R 16 each represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent, provided that one of R13 -R 16 represents a substituent; and n5-n8 each represent an integer of 0-4.

12. The organic electroluminescence element of claim 9 , wherein the emission layer comprises a carboline or a carboline of which one of carbon atoms of a hydrocarbon ring constituting a carboline ring of the carboline is replaced with a nitrogen atom.

13. The organic electroluminescence element of claim 9 further comprising a hole blocking layer as a constituting layer, wherein the hole blocking layer comprises a carboline or a carboline of which one of carbon atoms of a hydrocarbon ring constituting a carboline ring of the carboline is replaced with a nitrogen atom.

14. The organic electroluminescence element of claim 9 further comprising a hole blocking layer as a constituting layer, wherein the hole blocking layer comprises a boron derivative.
