Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for producing an organic electroluminescence element, comprising an organic layer between an anode and a cathode of the organic electroluminescence element by a wet film-forming method by using a composition containing an organic electroluminescence element material and a solvent in any one environment of the following film formation environments 1 to 3, and drying the formed film: film formation environment 1: a carbon dioxide concentration of 0.7 g/m 3 or less and an oxygen concentration of 18 to 22 vol %, film formation environment 2: a sulfur oxide concentration of 2.2 μg/m 3 or less and an oxygen concentration of 18 to 22 vol %, and film formation environment 3: a nitrogen oxide concentration of 3.1 μg/m 3 or less and an oxygen concentration of 18 to 22 vol %.

Claims (20)

1. A method for producing an organic electroluminescence element comprising an organic layer between an anode and a cathode, the method comprising:

a wet film-forming step with an organic electroluminescence element composition comprising an organic electroluminescence element material and a solvent, to form a film; and

a film-drying step of drying the film,

to form at least one film layer contained in the organic layer,

wherein the wet film-forming step occurs in an environment having a sulfur oxide concentration of 2.2 μg/m 3 or less, an oxygen concentration of 18 to 22 vol % and a carbon dioxide concentration is 0.7 g/m 3 or less.

2. A method for producing an organic electroluminescence element comprising an organic layer between an anode and a cathode, the method comprising:

a wet film-forming step with an organic electroluminescence element composition comprising an organic electroluminescence element material and a solvent, to form a film; and

a film-drying step of drying the film,

to form at least one film layer contained in the organic layer,

wherein the wet film-forming step occurs in an environment having a nitrogen oxide concentration of 3.1 μg/m 3 or less, an oxygen concentration of 18 to 22 vol % and a carbon dioxide concentration is 0.7 g/m 3 or less.

3. A method for producing an organic electroluminescence element comprising an organic layer between an anode and a cathode, the method comprising:

a wet film-forming step with an organic electroluminescence element composition comprising an organic electroluminescence element material and a solvent, to form a film; and

a film-drying step of drying the film,

to form at least one film layer contained in the organic layer,

wherein the wet film-forming step occurs in an environment having an oxygen concentration of 18 to 22 vol % and an absolute humidity of 15 g/kg (DA) or less, a carbon dioxide concentration is 0.7 g/m 3 or less and satisfying at least one of the following (2) and (3):

(2) a sulfur oxide concentration is 2.2 μg/m 3 or less, and

(3) a nitrogen oxide concentration is 3.1 μg/m 3 or less.

4. The method of producing an organic electroluminescence element as claimed in claim 1 , 2 or 3 , wherein the film layer obtained through the wet film-forming step and the film-drying step is an emitting layer.

5. The method of producing an organic electroluminescence element as claimed in claim 1 , 2 or 3 , wherein the film layer obtained through the wet film-forming step and the film-drying step is a hole transport layer.

6. The method of producing an organic electroluminescence element as claimed in claim 1 , 2 or 3 , wherein the organic electroluminescence element material comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of an organometallic complex, an aromatic amine-based compound and an anthracene derivative.
