Organic electroluminescent device
View Patent ↗The invention provides an organic electroluminescent device having one or more organic compound layers between a pair of electrodes, the one or more organic compound layers including at least a luminescent layer, wherein a host material and at least two different luminescent materials including at least one phosphorescent material are contained in the same luminescent layer, and the luminescent layer has a region containing the host material and one luminescent material and a region containing the host material and at least two luminescent materials in the thickness direction of the luminescent layer.
1. An organic electroluminescent device comprising one or more organic compound layers between a pair of electrodes, the one or more organic compound layers comprising at least a luminescent layer, wherein
(a) a host material and two different luminescent materials including at least one phosphorescent material are contained in the same luminescent layer, and
(b) the luminescent layer has:
(1) a layer containing the host material and the first luminescent material,
(2) a layer containing the host material and the first and second luminescent materials, and having a thickness of 0.5 nm to 10 nm, and
(3) a layer containing the host material and the second luminescent material
that are arranged adjacently, laying side-by-side, formed in this order in the thickness direction from an anode side of the luminescent layer.
2. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of at least one luminescent material in the luminescent layer is increasing and/or decreasing gradually from an anode side in the thickness direction.
3. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of at least one luminescent material in the luminescent layer is increasing and/or decreasing gradually from the anode side in the thickness direction.
4. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 , wherein the organic electroluminescent device emits a white light.
5. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 , wherein the phosphorescent material is an orthometalated metal complex or a porphyrin metal complex.
6. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 , wherein the at least two different luminescent materials emit lights different in emission wavelength.
7. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of luminescent materials in the layer containing the first and second luminescent materials is 0.5% by mass to 5% by mass.
