Abstract

Provided are an aromatic triamine compound of a specific structure having at least one terphenyl structure and an organic electroluminescence device in which an organic thin film layer comprising a single layer or plural layers having at least a luminescent layer is interposed between a cathode and an anode, wherein at least one layer of the above organic thin film layers contains the aromatic triamine compound described above in the form of a single component or a mixed component, and provided are the organic electroluminescence device having a high luminous efficiency and a long life and the novel aromatic triamine compound for materializing the same.

Claims (12)

1. An aromatic triamine compound represented by the following Formula (1):

wherein Ar 1 to Ar 5 each are independently a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 nuclear carbon atoms;

L 1 and L 2 each are independently a linkage group having 6 to 30 nuclear carbon atoms which has one or more benzene rings, and one of L 1 and L 2 is a substituted or unsubstituted terphenylene group,

wherein one of L 1 and L 2 is not a terphenylene group, and wherein the linkage group of L 1 or L 2 that is not a terphenylene group is a group represented by the following Formula (2):

wherein L 3 is a hetero atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkylene group having 3 to 30 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group having 6 to 30 nuclear carbon atoms, wherein the substituted or unsubstituted arylene group does not comprise 6 nuclear carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylene group having 5 to 30 nuclear carbon atoms;

R 31 , and R 32 each are independently a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group having 3 to 30 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 nuclear carbon atoms; R 31 and R 32 described above each may be plural, and in such case, plural R 31 themselves and R 32 themselves may be combined with each other to form saturated or unsaturated rings.

2. The aromatic triamine compound as described in claim 1 , wherein the linkage group of L 1 or L 2 described above a group represented by the following Formula (3):

wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each are independently a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group having 3 to 30 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 nuclear carbon atoms; R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each may be plural; in such case, R 1 themselves, R 2 themselves and R 3 themselves may be combined with each other to form saturated or unsaturated rings; R 1 and R 2 , and R 2 and R 3 may be combined with each other to form a saturated or unsaturated ring.

3. An organic electroluminescence device in which an organic thin film layer comprising a single layer or plural layers having at least a luminescent layer is interposed between a cathode and an anode, wherein at least one layer of the above organic thin film layers contains the aromatic triamine compound as described in claim 1 in the form of a single component or a mixed component.

4. The organic electroluminescence device as described in claim 3 , wherein the organic thin film layer described above has a hole transporting zone and/or a hole injecting zone, and the aromatic triamine derivative described above is contained in the above hole transporting zone and/or the hole injecting zone.

5. The organic electroluminescence device as described in claim 3 , wherein the organic thin film layer described above has a hole transporting layer and/or a hole injecting layer, and the aromatic triamine compound described above is contained in the above hole transporting layer and/or the hole injecting layer.

6. The organic electroluminescence device as described in claim 3 , wherein blue color is emitted.
