Abstract

An organic electroluminescent device includes a pair of electrodes; and an organic layer between the pair of electrodes, which includes a light-emitting layer and contains a compound represented by the following formula (1): wherein each of R 1 to R 7 independently represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent with the proviso that at least one of R 1 to R 7 represents a deuterium atom or a substituent containing a deuterium atom.

Claims (40)

1. An organic electroluminescent device comprising:

a pair of electrodes; and

an organic layer between the pair of electrodes, which comprises a light-emitting layer and contains a compound represented by the following Formula (Ia) or Formula (Ic):

wherein

each of R 2a to R 7a independently represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent with the proviso that at least one of R 2a to R 7a represents a deuterium atom or a substituent containing a deuterium atom,

n 1a represents an integer of 2 to 6, and

L 1a represents an n 1a -valent linking group,

(Ind) n -L  Formula (Ic)

wherein

Ind represents a residue structure of the compound of the Formula (I),

L represents a linking group bound to the 2- or 3-position of the indole ring of the compound of the formula (I), and

n represents an integer of 2 or greater,

wherein

each of R 1 to R 7 independently represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent with the proviso that at least one of R 1 to R 7 represents a deuterium atom or a substituent containing a deuterium atom,

wherein in the above Formula (Ia) and Formula (I), the ratio between deuterium atoms and hydrogen atoms, as represented by the number of deuterium atoms:the number of hydrogen atoms is from 100:0 to 1:99.

2. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light emitting layer contains a phosphorescent material.

3. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light emitting layer contains at least one of a platinum complex phosphorescent material and an iridium complex phosphorescent material.

4. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light emitting layer contains a platinum complex phosphorescent material.

5. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light emitting layer contains a platinum complex phosphorescent material having a tetradentate ligand.

6. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of R 2 to R 7 in the formula (I) represents a deuterium atom.

7. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by the formula (Ia) or formula (Ic) is contained in the light emitting layer.

8. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by the formula (Ia) or (Ic) is contained in a layer adjacent to the light emitting layer.

9. The organic electroluminescence device according claim 1 , wherein

R 1 in the formula (I) represents an aryl group or a heteroaryl group.

10. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein

one of R 2 and R 3 in the formula (I) is an alkyl group having a tertiary or quaternary carbon atom, and

the alkyl group is bound to the compound via the tertiary or quaternary carbon atom.

11. An organic electroluminescent device comprising:

a pair of electrodes; and

an organic layer between the pair of electrodes, which comprises a light-emitting layer and contains a compound represented by the following Formula (Ib):

wherein

each of R 2b , R 3b and R 5b represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent with the proviso that at least one of R 2b , R 3b and R 5b represents a deuterium or a substituent containing a deuterium atom

n 1b represents an integer of 2 to 4, and

L 1b represents an n 1b -valent linking group,

wherein in the above Formula (Ib), the ratio between deuterium atoms and hydrogen atoms, as represented by the number of deuterium atoms:the number of hydrogen atoms is from 100:0 to 1:99.
