Abstract

To provide an organic light emitting device having high efficiency and high luminance by making a contrivance to suppress the leakage of an electron or of an exciton, an organic light emitting device of the present invention includes two hole transporting layers having tertiary amine compounds different from each other in structure.

Claims (21)

1. An organic light emitting device comprising:

an anode;

a cathode;

a light emitting layer;

a first hole transporting layer; and

a second hole transporting layer,

wherein:

the anode, the first hole transporting layer, the second hole transporting layer, and the light emitting layer are placed in an order of the anode, the first hole transporting layer, the second hole transporting layer, and the light emitting layer;

the first hole transporting layer comprises a tertiary amine compound represented by any one of the following formulae:

and

the second hole transporting layer comprises a tertiary amine compound represented by any one of the following formulae:

2. The organic light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein a hole mobility of the first hole transporting layer is larger than a hole mobility of the second hole transporting layer.

3. The organic light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein an ionization potential Ip of the tertiary amine compound having two or more nitrogen atoms, an ionization potential Ip of the tertiary amine compound having one nitrogen atom, and an ionization potential Ip of an organic compound of which the light emitting layer is mainly formed satisfy a relationship of the ionization potential Ip of the tertiary amine compound having two or more nitrogen atoms<the ionization potential Ip of the tertiary amine compound having one nitrogen atom<the ionization potential Ip of the organic compound of which the light emitting layer is mainly formed.

4. A display comprising:

a substrate;

the organic light emitting device according to claim 1 ; and

a thin film transistor for controlling when the organic light emitting device emits light,

the organic light emitting device and the thin film transistor being provided on the substrate,

wherein the organic light emitting device is provided in a display region as a pixel.

5. The organic light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting layer comprises a compound represented by any one of the following formulae:

6. The organic light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting layer further comprises a compound represented by any one of the following formulae:
