Abstract

A charge transport material containing a charge transport polymer that satisfies at least one of (I) or (II) described below: (I) to independently have both a monovalent substituent having an alicyclic structure of 7 or more carbon atoms, and a monovalent substituent having a carbonyl-containing group; and (II) to have a monovalent substituent that includes a monovalent substituent having an alicyclic structure of 7 or more carbon atoms bonded directly to a carbonyl-containing group.

Claims (20)

1. A charge transport material comprising a charge transport polymer, wherein the charge transport polymer satisfies at least one of (I) or (II) described below:

(I) to independently have both a monovalent substituent having an alicyclic structure of 7 or more carbon atoms, and a monovalent substituent having a carbonyl-containing group;

(II) to have a monovalent substituent comprising a monovalent substituent having an alicyclic structure of 7 or more carbon atoms bonded directly to a carbonyl-containing group.

2. The charge transport material according to claim 1 , wherein in (I) and (II), each of the monovalent substituents exists on at least one terminal of the charge transport polymer.

3. The charge transport material according to claim 1 , wherein in (I) and (II), each of the monovalent substituents having an alicyclic structure of 7 or more carbon atoms is a cycloalkyl group of 7 to 20 carbon atoms.

4. The charge transport material according to claim 1 , wherein in (I) and (II), each of the carbonyl-containing groups contains at least one type of divalent linking group represented by any of formulas (a) to (i) shown below:

wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group of 1 to 12 carbon atoms (but excludes cyclic alkyl groups of 7 or more carbon atoms).

5. The charge transport material according to claim 1 , wherein the charge transport polymer satisfies (II).

6. The charge transport material according to claim 1 , wherein the charge transport polymer comprises a divalent structural unit having charge transport properties and a trivalent or higher valent structural unit having charge transport properties.

7. The charge transport material according to claim 1 , wherein the charge transport polymer has a structural unit containing at least one type of structure selected from the group consisting of aromatic amine structures, carbazole structures, thiophene structures, fluorene structures, benzene structures and pyrrole structures.

8. The charge transport material according to claim 1 , wherein the charge transport polymer has at least one polymerizable functional group.

9. The charge transport material according to claim 1 , wherein the charge transport material is used as a hole injection layer material.

10. An ink composition comprising the charge transport material according to claim 1 and a solvent.

11. An organic electronic element having an organic film formed using the charge transport material according to claim 1 .

12. An organic electroluminescent element having an organic film formed using the charge transport material according to claim 1 .

13. The organic electroluminescent element according to claim 12 , also having a flexible substrate.

14. The organic electroluminescent element according to claim 13 , wherein the flexible substrate comprises a resin film.

15. A display element comprising the organic electroluminescent element according to claim 12 .

16. An illumination device comprising the organic electroluminescent element according to claim 12 .

17. A display device comprising the illumination device according to claim 16 , and a liquid crystal element as a display unit.
