Abstract

An excellent composition for a charge-transport film, which can be used to produce an organic electroluminescence device having excellent heat-resistant property, high hole injection/transport capacity and capable of functioning at a low voltage, is proposed.

Claims (21)

1. An organic electroluminescence device, comprising:

a substrate;

an anode and a cathode adjacent to said substrate;

an emitting layer disposed between said anode and said cathode; and

a first layer, disposed between said anode and said emitting layer,

wherein

the first layer comprises an ionic compound consisting of a cation radical of a charge transporting compound and a counter anion of formula (7)

wherein

E 4 is an element belonging to group 13 of the long form periodic table; and

Ar 71 -Ar 74 each is independently, an aromatic hydrocarbon group that may have substituents or an aromatic heterocyclic group that may have substituents, and

wherein the first layer comprises a hole-injection layer.

2. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the ionic compound in the hole-injection layer is 1 wt % or higher and 95 wt % or lower.

3. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , further comprising a hole-transport layer.

4. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein said cation radical of a charge-transporting compound is an aminium cation radical.

5. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein in formula (7), E 4 is a boron atom or a gallium atom, and at least one of Ar 71 -Ar 74 is a group that has one or plural electron-accepting substituents or nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic groups.

6. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein said counter anion is expressed by the following formula (8) or formula (9).

7. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein said cation radical of the charge-transporting compound is expressed by the following general formula (10),

wherein in the general formula (10):

Ar 81 -Ar 84 represent, independently of each other, an aromatic hydrocarbon group that may have substituents or an aromatic heterocyclic group that may have substituents; and

R 81 -R 84 represent, independently of each other, an arbitrary group.

8. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein said cation radical of the charge-transporting compound has a structure obtained by removing an electron from a repetitive unit of an aromatic tertiary amine macromolecule compound whose weight-average molecular weight is 1000 or larger and 1000000 or smaller.
