Abstract

Provided is an organic electroluminescence device having high efficiency and a long lifetime. The organic electroluminescence device includes an anode; a cathode; and an organic compound layer interposed between the anode and the cathode, and including an emission layer formed of a first emission layer provided on an anode side and a second emission layer provided on a cathode side, in which the first emission layer contains a first host and a first dopant, the second emission layer contains a second host and a second dopant, the following relationship (a) is established between the first host and the first dopant, the following relationship (b) is established between the second host and the second dopant, and the following relationship (c) is established between the first host and the second host: |LUMO( H 1 )−LUMO( D 1 )|>|HOMO( H 1 )−HOMO( D 1 )|,  (a) |LUMO( H 2 )−LUMO( D 2 )|>|HOMO( H 2 )−HOMO( D 2 )|, and  (b) |HOMO( H 1 )|>|HOMO( H 2 )|.  (c)

Claims (20)

1. An organic electroluminescence device, comprising:

an anode;

a cathode; and

an organic compound layer interposed between the anode and the cathode, and including at least an emission layer,

wherein:

the emission layer comprises a first emission layer provided on an anode side and a second emission layer provided on a cathode side;

the first emission layer contains a first host and a first dopant;

the second emission layer contains a second host and a second dopant;

the following relationship (a) is established between the first host and the first dopant;

the following relationship (b) is established between the second host and the second dopant; and

the following relationship (c) is established between the first host and the second host:

|LUMO( H 1 )−LUMO( D 1 )|>|HOMO( H 1 )−HOMO( D 1 )|,  (a)

|LUMO( H 2 )−LUMO( D 2 )|>|HOMO( H 2 )−HOMO( D 2 )|, and  (b)

|HOMO( H 1 )|>|HOMO( H 2 )|  (c)

where:

LUMO(H 1 ), LUMO(D 1 ), LUMO(H 2 ), and LUMO(D 2 ) represent LUMOs of the first host, the first dopant, the second host, and the second dopant, respectively; and

HOMO(H 1 ), HOMO(D 1 ), HOMO(H 2 ), and HOMO(D 2 ) represent HOMOs of the first host, the first dopant, the second host, and the second dopant, respectively.

2. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein the following relationship (d) is further established:

|LUMO( H 1 )|>|LUMO( H 2 )|  (d).

3. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein the first host, the first dopant, the second host, and the second dopant comprise compounds each formed only of a hydrocarbon.
