Abstract

A light-emitting element includes an anode, a cathode, and a light emission layer. The light emission layer is arranged between the anode and the cathode and configured to emit light by energization between the anode and the cathode. The light emission layer includes a compound represented by a general formula NIR-D as a light emission material and a compound represented by a formula IRH-1 as a host material of the light emission material. The general formula NIR-D is in which each R independently indicates group comprising a phenyl group, a thiophenyl group, a furyl group, or at least one species of derivatives thereof. The formula IRH-1 is in which n indicates a natural number 1 to 12, and each R independently indicates a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an optionally substituted aryl group, or an arylamino group.

Claims (38)

1. A light-emitting element comprising:

an anode;

a cathode; and

a light emission layer arranged between the anode and the cathode and configured to emit light by energization between the anode and the cathode,

the light emission layer including a compound represented by a general formula NIR-D as a light emission material and a compound represented by a formula IRH-1 as a host material of the light emission material,

the general formula NIR-D being

wherein each R independently indicates group comprising a phenyl group, a thiophenyl group, a furyl group, or at least one species of derivatives thereof,

the formula IRH-1 being

wherein n indicates a natural number 1 to 12, and each R independently indicates a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an optionally substituted aryl group, or an arylamino group.

2. The light-emitting element as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

the host material is a compound represented by a formula IRH-2, which is

wherein R 1 to R 4 each independently indicate a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an optionally substituted aryl group, or an arylamino group, and R 1 to R 4 are the same as one another or different from one another.

3. The light-emitting element as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

the host material is a compound represented by a formula IRH-3, which is

wherein R 1 and R 2 each independently indicate a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an optionally substituted aryl group, or an arylamino group, and R 1 and R 2 are the same as one another or different from one another.

4. The light-emitting element as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

the host material is constituted of carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms.

5. The light-emitting element as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

a content of the light emission material in the light emission layer is 0.5 wt % to 5.0 wt %.

6. The light-emitting element as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising

an electron transport layer arranged between the light emission layer and the cathode and including a compound that has an anthracene skeleton.

7. The light-emitting element as set forth in claim 6 , wherein

the electron transport layer has a first electron transport layer including an azaindolizine-based compound that has an azaindolizine skeleton and the anthracene skeleton in a molecule, and a second electron transport layer arranged between the first electron transport layer and the light emission layer and including an anthracene-based compound that has an anthracene skeleton in a molecule and is constituted of carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms.

8. The light-emitting element as set forth in claim 7 , wherein

a thickness of the second electron transport layer is greater than a thickness of the first electron transport layer.

9. The light-emitting element as set forth in claim 7 , wherein

a thickness of the second electron transport layer is 30 nm to 150 nm.

10. The light-emitting element as set forth in claim 6 , wherein

a thickness of the electron transport layer is 55 nm to 200 nm.

11. The light-emitting element as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

a thickness of the light emission layer is 10 nm to 50 nm.

12. The light-emitting element as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

the light emission material is a compound represented by a formula IRD-4, which is

13. The light-emitting element as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

the light emission material is a compound represented by a formula IRD-5, which is

14. A light emission apparatus comprising the light-emitting element as set forth in claim 1 .

15. An authentication apparatus comprising the light-emitting element as set forth in claim 1 .

16. An electronic machine comprising the light-emitting element as set forth in claim 1 .
