Abstract

The light emitting element of the embodiment includes an anode; a cathode; a visible light emitting layer provided between the anode and the cathode and emitting visible light; and a carrier trapping layer containing a thiadiazole based compound represented by the following formula (1). [In formula (1), A indicates a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group which may have a substituent, an arylamino group, or a triaryl amine, and B indicates a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group which may have a substituent, an arylamino group, or a triaryl amine, or may form a ring.]

Claims (32)

1. A light emitting element comprising:

an anode;

a cathode;

a light emitting layer provided between the anode and the cathode and emitting visible light; and

a carrier trapping layer containing a thiazole based compound represented by the following formula (1);

[in formula (1), A indicates a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group which may have a substituent, an arylamino group, or a triaryl amine, and B indicates a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group which may have a substituent, an arylamino group, or a triaryl amine, or may form a ring].

2. The light emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the thiadiazole based compound is represented by the following formula (1B);

[in formula (1B), A's each independently indicate a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group which may have a substituent, an arylamino group, or a triaryl amine].

3. The light emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the thiadiazole based compound is represented by the following formula (1C);

[in formula (1C), A each independently indicate a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group which may have a substituent, an arylamino group, or a triaryl amine].

4. The light emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the thiadiazole based compound is represented by the following formula (1D);

[in formula (1D), A and B each independently indicate a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group which may have a substituent, an arylamino group, or a triaryl amine].

5. The light emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier trapping layer is positioned at an anode side relative to the light emitting layer.

6. The light emitting element according to claim 5 ,

wherein the carrier trapping layer further contains a host material in addition to the thiazole based compound, and

wherein the host material is at least one type from among amine based material, anthracene based material, and napthacene based material.

7. The light emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier trapping layer is positioned at a cathode side relative to the light emitting layer.

8. The light emitting element according to claim 7 ,

wherein the carrier trapping layer further contains a host material in addition to the thiazole based compound, and

wherein the host material is at least one type from among anthracene based material, napthacene based material, and a quinolinolato based metal complex.

9. The light emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting layer is a single layer.

10. The light emitting element according to claim 9 , wherein the light emitting layer emits a blue luminescent color as visible light.

11. The light emitting element according to claim 9 , wherein the light emitting layer emits a yellow luminescent color as visible light.

12. The light emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting layer is formed of at least two layers.

13. A light emitting device comprising the light emitting element according to claim 1 .

14. A light emitting device comprising the light emitting element according to claim 2 .

15. A light emitting device comprising the light emitting element according to claim 3 .

16. A light emitting device comprising the light emitting element according to claim 4 .

17. A light emitting device comprising the light emitting element according to claim 5 .

18. A light emitting device comprising the light emitting element according to claim 6 .

19. A light emitting device comprising the light emitting element according to claim 7 .

20. An electronic apparatus comprising the light emitting device according to claim 13 .
