Abstract

An organic electroluminescence device including: an anode; a cathode; two or more emitting units that are disposed between the anode and the cathode, each unit having an emitting layer; and a charge-generating layer that is disposed between the emitting units, wherein the charge-generating layer includes an N layer nearer to the anode and a P layer nearer to the cathode, and the N layer includes a compound represented by the following formula (I) or (II):

Claims (21)

1. An organic electroluminescence device comprising:

an anode;

a cathode;

two or more emitting units that are disposed between the anode and the cathode, each unit having an emitting layer; and

a charge-generating layer that is disposed between the emitting units, wherein the charge-generating layer comprises an N layer nearer to the anode and a P layer nearer to the cathode, and wherein the N layer is directly adjacent to the P layer, and

the N layer comprises two percent Li and a compound represented by the following formula:

and the P layer comprises a compound represented by the following formula (HAT):

2. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein the N layer of the charge-generating layer comprises at least one of an electron-donating metal, an electron-donating metal compound and an electron-donating metal complex.

3. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 2 , wherein the N layer of the charge-generating layer comprises at least one of an alkali metal, an alkali earth metal, a simple substance of a rare earth metal, a compound of a rare earth metal and a complex of a rare earth metal.

4. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein a material constituting at least one of the emitting layers of the emitting units is different from a material constituting the emitting layer(s) of the other emitting unit(s).

5. The organic electroluminescence device according claim 1 , which emits white light.

6. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein the organic electroluminescence device has at least three of the emitting units, and wherein the charge-generating layer is between every set of the emitting units.

7. An organic electroluminescence device comprising:

an anode;

a cathode;

two or more emitting units that are disposed between the anode and the cathode, each unit having an emitting layer; and

a charge-generating layer that is disposed between the emitting units, wherein the charge-generating layer comprises an N layer nearer to the anode and a P layer nearer to the cathode, and wherein the N layer is directly adjacent to the P layer, and

the N layer comprises two percent Li and a compound represented by the following formula:

and the P layer comprises a compound represented by the following formula (HAT):

8. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 1 , wherein the charge-generating layer injects holes directly to the emitting unit arranged on a side nearer to the cathode of the charge-generating layer and injects electrons directly to the emitting unit arranged on a side nearer to the anode of the charge-generating layer.

9. The organic electroluminescence device according to claim 7 , wherein the charge-generating layer injects holes directly to the emitting unit arranged on a side nearer to the cathode of the charge-generating layer and injects electrons directly to the emitting unit arranged on a side nearer to the anode of the charge-generating layer.
