Abstract

A light emitting layer-forming solid material including at least one host material and at least one light-emitting material, wherein the light emitting layer-forming solid material is used for forming a white light emitting layer having a single layer structure by an evaporation method.

Claims (21)

1. A light emitting layer-forming solid material, comprising:

at least one host material, and

at least one light-emitting material,

wherein the light emitting layer-forming solid material has a pellet shape and is not in a powder form, wherein the light emitting layer-forming solid material is capable of forming a white light emitting layer having a single layer structure under evaporation conditions, wherein a difference between a sublimation temperature of the host material and a sublimation temperature of the light-emitting material is within 20° C. as an absolute value, and

wherein the light emitting layer-forming solid material further comprises at least one thermally conductive material having no sublimation property, and thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive material is higher than that of the at least one host material and at least one light-emitting material contained in the light emitting layer-forming solid material, wherein said thermally conductive material having no sublimation property is SiC.

2. The light emitting layer-forming solid material according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one light-emitting material is at least two light-emitting materials.

3. The light emitting layer-forming solid material according to claim 2 , wherein the at least two light-emitting materials emit different lights.

4. The light emitting layer-forming solid material according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one light-emitting material is a phosphorescent light-emitting material.

5. The light emitting layer-forming solid material according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between a sublimation temperature of the host material and a sublimation temperature of the light-emitting material is within 10° C. as an absolute value.

6. The light emitting layer-forming solid material according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting layer-forming solid material is capable of forming an evaporation film when said light emitting layer-forming solid material is at evaporation conditions provided by an evaporation source, and a composition of the evaporation film varies as a heating temperature of the evaporation source is changed.

7. The light emitting layer-forming solid material according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting layer-forming solid material is capable of forming an evaporation film, wherein the light emitting layer-forming solid material has a composition which differs from a composition of said evaporation film.

8. A method for producing an organic electroluminescent device, comprising:

evaporating a light emitting layer-forming solid material so as to form a light emitting layer, wherein the light emitting layer-forming solid material has a pellet shape and is not in a powder form,

wherein the light emitting layer-forming solid material comprises at least one host material and at least one light-emitting material,

wherein the light emitting layer is a white light emitting layer having a single layer structure, wherein a difference between a sublimation temperature of the host material and a sublimation temperature of the light-emitting material is within 20° C. as an absolute value, and

wherein the light emitting layer-forming solid material further comprises at least one thermally conductive material having no sublimation property, and thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive material is higher than that of the at least one host material and at least one light-emitting material contained in the light emitting layer-forming solid material, wherein said thermally conductive material having no sublimation property is SiC.

9. An organic electroluminescent device obtained by a method comprising:

evaporating a light emitting layer-forming solid material so as to form a light emitting layer, wherein the light emitting layer-forming solid material has a pellet shape and is not in a powder form,

wherein the light emitting layer-forming solid material comprises at least one host material and at least one light-emitting material,

wherein the light emitting layer is a white light emitting layer having a single layer structure, wherein a difference between a sublimation temperature of the host material and a sublimation temperature of the light-emitting material is within 20° C. as an absolute value, and

wherein the light emitting layer-forming solid material further comprises at least one thermally conductive material having no sublimation property, and thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive material is higher than that of the at least one host material and at least one light-emitting material contained in the light emitting layer-forming solid material, wherein said thermally conductive material having no sublimation property is SiC.
