Abstract

An organic electroluminescent element comprising an anode and a cathode having therebetween an emission layer containing a phosphorescent compound and an layer adjacent to the emission layer, the layer adjacent to the emission layer being provided between the emission layer and the cathode, wherein the layer adjacent to the emission layer comprises a compound having an electron withdrawing group; and the compound exhibits a HOMO level of −5.7 to −7.0 eV and a LUMO level of −1.3 to −2.3 eV.

Claims (18)

1. An organic electroluminescent element comprising an anode and a cathode having therebetween an emission layer containing a phosphorescent compound and an layer adjacent to the emission layer, the layer adjacent to the emission layer being provided between the emission layer and the cathode, wherein

the layer adjacent to the emission layer exhibits an effect of blocking holes and comprises a compound having at least one electron withdrawing group represented by —CF 3 , and exhibiting a HOMO level of −5.7 to −7.0 eV and a LUMO level of −1.3 to −2.3 eV,

wherein

the compound comprised in the layer adjacent to the emission layer is represented by a formula selected from the group consisting of Formulas (2), (6), (11) and (12):

wherein Ar 4 -Ar 9 each represent a phenyl group having —CF 3 as a substituent, and R 1 -R 3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom;

wherein R 14 -R 21 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a phenyl group having —F or —CF 3 as a substituent, and R 22 represents a phenyl group having —CF 3 as a substituent or a biphenyl group having —CF 3 as a substituent;

wherein Ar 20 -Ar 25 each represent a phenyl group having —F as a substituent, and A 1 -A 3 each represent a phenylene group having —CF 3 as a substituent; and

wherein Ar 26 -Ar 29 each represent a phenyl group having —F or —CF 3 as a substituent, B 1 and B 3 each represent a phenylene group, and B 2 represents a divalent linking group selected from the group consisting of —C(CF 3 ) 2 —, —C(CN) 2 — and —C(CH 3 ) 2 —C 6 H 4 —C(CH 3 ) 2 —.

2. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 , wherein the compound is represented by Formula (2).

3. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 , wherein the compound is represented by Formula (6).

4. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 , wherein the compound is represented by Formula (11).

5. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 , wherein the compound is represented by Formula (12).

6. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 , wherein the compound exhibits a HOMO level of −5.9 to −6.8 eV and a LUMO level of −1.6 to −2.1 eV.

7. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 , wherein the organic electroluminescent element emits blue light.

8. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 , wherein the organic electroluminescent element emits white light.

9. A display comprising the organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 .

10. An illumination comprising the organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 .

11. A display comprising the illumination of claim 10 and a liquid crystal cell as a display means.
