Abstract

An organic electroluminescent is provided having an anode, a cathode, and at least one organic layer including a light-emitting layer provided between the anode and the cathode, wherein the organic layer includes an amine compound represented by the following formula (1): wherein Ar 1 to Ar4 each independently represent a specific aromatic group; R 1 and R 2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a particular substituent group; and n stands for an integer of 1, 2 or 3.

Claims (29)

1. An organic electroluminescent device having an anode, a cathode, and at least one organic layer including a light-emitting layer provided between said anode and said cathode, wherein

said organic layer includes an amine compound represented by the following formula (1):

wherein Ar 1 to Ar 4 each independently represent a carbocyclic aromatic group having a total carbon number of from 6 to 20 or a heterocyclic aromatic group having a total carbon number of from 3 to 20;

an organic electroluminescent device having an anode, a cathode, and at least one organic layer including a light-emitting layer provided between said anode and said cathode, wherein

said organic layer includes an amine compound represented by the following formula (1):

R1 and R2 each independently represent a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted carbonyl group having a carbon number of from 1 to 20, a substituted or unsubstituted carbonyl ester group having a carbon number of from 1 to 20, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group having a carbon number of from 2 to 20, a cyano group, a nitro group or a heterocyclic aromatic group having a total carbon number of from 3 to 20; and n stands for an integer of 1, 2 or 3, and wherein a combination of At1 and Ar2 is the same as a combination of Ar3 and Ar4.

2. The organic electroluminescent device according to claim 1 , wherein said amine compound is one of the formula (1) in which Ar 1 to Ar 4 are each independently selected from a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, naphthyl, biphenyl, fluorenyl, anthryl, pyrenyl or fluoranthenyl group.

3. The organic electroluminescent device according to claim 1 , wherein said amine compound is one of the formula (1) in which Ar 1 to Ar 4 are each independently selected from a phenyl, naphthyl or biphenyl group.

4. The organic electroluminescent device according to claim 1 , wherein:

said organic layer has at least a light-emitting layer and a hole transport layer; and

said amine compound is used as a material forming said hole transport layer.

5. The organic electroluminescent device according to claim 1 , wherein:

said organic layer has at least a light-emitting layer and a hole injection layer; and

said amine compound is used as a material forming said hole injection layer.

6. A display device comprising a plurality of organic electroluminescent devices formed in an array on a substrate, each of said organic electroluminescent devices having an anode, a cathode and at least one organic layer including a light-emitting layer provided between said anode and said cathode, wherein

in at least one of said organic electroluminescent devices, said at least one organic layer includes an amine compound represented by the following formula (1):

Ar1 to Ar4 each independently represent a carbocyclic aromatic group having a total carbon number of from 6 to 20 or a heterocyclic aromatic group having a total carbon number of from 3 to 20;

R1 and R2 each independently represent a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted carbonyl group having a carbon number of from 1 to 20, a substituted or unsubstituted carbonyl ester group having a carbon number of from 1 to 20, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group having a carbon number of from 2 to 20, a cyano group, a nitro group or a heterocyclic aromatic group having a total carbon number of from 3 to 20; and n stands for an integer of 1, 2 or 3, and wherein a combination of At1 and Ar2 is the same as a combination of Ar3 and Ar4.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein

said at least one organic electroluminescent device in which said organic layer includes said amine compound is used as a common material for a blue-light emitting device, a green-light emitting device and a red-light emitting device to form a blue pixel, a green pixel and a red pixel, respectively.

8. An organic electroluminescent device having an anode, a cathode, and at least one organic layer including a light-emitting layer provided between said anode and said cathode, wherein

said organic layer includes an amine compound represented by the following formula (1):

wherein Ar1 to Ar4 each independently represent a carbocyclic aromatic group having a total carbon number of from 6 to 20 or a heterocyclic aromatic group having a total carbon number of from 3 to 20; R1 and R2 each independently a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted carbonyl group having a carbon number of from 1 to 20, a substituted or unsubstituted carbonyl ester group having a carbon number of from 1 to 20 a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group having a carbon number of from 2 to 20, a cyano group, a nitro group, a carbocyclic aromatic group having a total carbon number of from 6 to 20 or a heterocyclic aromatic group having a total carbon number of from 3 to 20; and n stands for an integer of 1.

9. An organic electroluminescent device having an anode, a cathode, and at least one organic layer including a light-emitting layer provided between said anode and said cathode, wherein

said organic layer includes an amine compound represented by the following formula (1):

wherein at least one of Ar 1 to Ar 4 represent a substituted or unsubstituted naphthyl or biphenyl group;

R 1 and R 2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted carbonyl group having a carbon number of from 1 to 20, a substituted or unsubstituted carbonyl ester group having a carbon number of from 1 to 20, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having a carbon number of from 1 to 20, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group having a carbon number of from 2 to 20, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxyl group having a carbon number of from 1 to 20, a cyano group, a nitro group, a carbocyclic aromatic group having a total carbon number of from 6 to 20 or a heterocyclic aromatic group having a total carbon number of from 3 to 20; and

n stands for an integer of 1, 2 or 3, and

wherein a combination of Ar 1 and Ar 2 is the same as a combination of Ar 3 and Ar 4 .
