Abstract

Disclosed is an organic electroluminescent device having high external quantum efficiency and long life. Also disclosed are an illuminating device and a display device. The organic electroluminescent device is characterized by containing at least one compound having a partial structure represented by the following general Formula (1). [chemical formula 1] (1) In the formula, R 1 represents a group (preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon group, an aromatic heterocyclic group, an alkyl group or an alkoxy group) having 4-20 carbon atoms in total and a substituent having a formula weight or 70-350 (preferably an alkyl group or an alkoxy group): R 2 -R 4 independently represent a substituent; n2 represents a number of 0-4; n3 represents a number of 0-2; n4 represents a number of 0-8; and Q represents an atomic group necessary for forming an aromatic hydrocarbon ring or an aromatic heterocyclic ring.

Claims (27)

1. An organic electroluminescent element comprising a compound having a partial structure represented by Formula (1) in the molecule:

wherein R 1 is an aromatic hydrocarbon group or aromatic heterocyclic group substituted by a substituent having 4 to 12 carbon atoms and a formula weight of 70 to 350, and the substituent is selected from the group consisting of:

an alkyl group, an alkoxyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group and an aromatic heterocyclic group, with the proviso that if the substituent is a straight chain alkyl group, it has 6 to 12 carbon atoms;

R 2 through R 4 are each independently a substituent; n2 is an integer of 0 to 4; n3 is an integer of 0 to 2; n4 is an integer of 0 to 8; and Q is a group of atoms necessary to form an aromatic hydrocarbon ring or an aromatic heterocyclic ring.

2. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 ,

wherein R 1 is an aromatic hydrocarbon group substituted by the substituent having 4 to 12 carbon atoms and a formula weight of 70 to 350, and the substituent is selected from the group consisting of:

an alkyl group, an alkoxyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group and an aromatic heterocyclic group.

3. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 ,

wherein R 1 is a phenyl group substituted by the substituent having 4 to 12 carbon atoms and a formula weight of 70 to 350, and the substituent is selected from the group consisting of:

an alkyl group, an alkoxyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group and an aromatic heterocyclic group.

4. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 ,

wherein the partial structure represented by Formula (1) is further represented by Formula (2):

wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are each synonymous with R 1 , R 2 and R 3 in Formula (1), respectively; R 5 is a substituent; n2 and n3 are the same number as n2 and n3 in Formula (1); and n5 is an integer of 0 to 4.

5. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 4 ,

wherein R 5 is a group selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an aromatic hydrocarbon ring group, an aromatic heterocyclic group, a heterocyclic group and an alkoxyl group.

6. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 ,

wherein the partial structure represented by Formula (1) is further represented by Formula (3):

wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are each synonymous with R 1 , R 2 and R 3 in Formula (1), respectively; R 6 is a substituent; n2 and n3 are the same number as n2 and n3 in Formula (1); n6 is an integer of 0 to 6; and X is a chalcogen atom.

7. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 6 ,

wherein R 6 is a group selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an aromatic hydrocarbon ring group, an aromatic heterocyclic group, a heterocyclic group and an alkoxyl group.

8. The organic electroluminescent element comprising an organic layer which contains the compound described in claim 1 .

9. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 8 ,

wherein the organic layer is a light emission layer.

10. The organic electroluminescent element of claim 8 ,

wherein the organic layer is formed by a wet process.

11. A display device having the organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 .

12. A lighting device comprising the organic electroluminescent element of claim 1 .
