Abstract

An organic EL display unit includes a first organic EL device including a first light-emitting layer that emits first color light and a second organic EL device including a second light-emitting layer that emits second color light of a shorter wavelength than the first color light. The first light-emitting layer includes, as a host material, a polymer material that does not emit the first color light or does not mainly emit the first color light, and includes, as a dopant, a low-molecular-weight material or a polymer material that emits the first color light.

Claims (30)

1. An organic EL display unit comprising:

a first organic EL device and a second organic EL device, the first organic EL device including a first light-emitting layer that emits first color light, and the second organic EL device including a second light-emitting layer that emits second color light of a shorter wavelength than the first color light,

wherein the first light-emitting layer includes, as a host material, a first polymer material that does not emit the first color light or does not mainly emit the first color light, and includes, as a dopant, a low-molecular-weight material that emits the first color light, and

wherein the second light-emitting layer includes the low-molecular-weight material as the dopant of the first light-emitting layer near an interface with one of other layers above and below the second light-emitting layer.

2. The organic EL display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the first polymer material is a material that emits the second color light.

3. The organic EL display unit according to claim 2 , wherein

the first light-emitting layer is a red light-emitting layer that emits red light as the first color light, and

the second light-emitting layer is a green light-emitting layer that emits green light as the second color light.

4. The organic EL display unit according to claim 3 , further comprising a third organic EL device including a blue light-emitting layer that emits blue light,

wherein the red light-emitting layer and the green light-emitting layer are provided for respective devices, and

the blue light-emitting layer is provided as a common layer for the first organic EL device, the second organic EL device, and the third organic EL device.

5. The organic EL display unit according to claim 4 , wherein a connection layer having a hole transport property is provided between the red light-emitting layer and the blue light-emitting layer and between the green light-emitting layer and the blue light-emitting layer.

6. The organic EL display unit according to claim 2 , wherein

the first light-emitting layer is a red light-emitting layer that emits red light as the first color light, and

the second light-emitting layer is a blue light-emitting layer that emits blue light as the second color light.

7. The organic EL display unit according to claim 2 , wherein

the first light-emitting layer is a green light-emitting layer that emits green light as the first color light, and

the second light-emitting layer is a blue light-emitting layer that emits blue light as the second color light.

8. The organic EL display unit according to claim 2 , wherein the first light-emitting layer is a yellow light-emitting layer that emits yellow light as the first color light.

9. The organic EL display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the first polymer material is a dendrimer or a polymer.

10. The organic EL display unit according to claim 1 , wherein the first polymer material is a thickener.

11. An electronic apparatus provided with an organic EL display unit, the organic EL display unit comprising:

a first organic EL device and a second organic EL device, the first organic EL device including a first light-emitting layer that emits first color light, and the second organic EL device including a second light-emitting layer that emits second color light of a shorter wavelength than the first color light,

wherein the first light-emitting layer includes, as a host material, a first polymer material that does not emit the first color light or does not mainly emit the first color light, and includes, as a dopant, a low-molecular-weight material that emits the first color light, and

wherein the second light-emitting layer includes the low-molecular-weight material as the dopant of the first light-emitting layer near an interface with one of other layers above and below the second light-emitting layer.

12. An organic EL display unit comprising:

a first organic EL device including a first light-emitting layer that emits red light; and

a second organic EL device including a second light-emitting layer that emits green light,

wherein the first light-emitting layer includes, as a host material, a first polymer material that emits green light, and includes, as a dopant, a second polymer material that emits red light, and

wherein the second light-emitting layer includes the second polymer material as the dopant of the first light-emitting layer near an interface with one of other layers above and below the second light-emitting layer.
