Abstract

Provided is a manufacturing method by which each functional layer of various types of organic electronic elements can be uniformly formed by wet process. Specifically, a method for manufacturing an organic electronic element which uniformly emits light with high emission efficiency is provided. The method for manufacturing the organic electronic element includes a step of forming a functional layer by laminating at least an organic layer (A) and an organic layer (B) in this order on a substrate. After forming at least the organic layer (A), the organic layer (B) is applied and formed on the organic layer (A) by using a fluorine-containing solvent.

Claims (12)

1. A method for producing an organic electronic element comprising the step of:

forming functional layers by laminating an organic layer A on a substrate followed by laminating an organic layer B on the organic layer A, wherein the organic layer B is formed by coating using a fluorine containing solvent after the organic layer A is formed, the organic layer A is a light emitting layer that contains a light emitting compound having a molecular weight of 2,000 or less, wherein the fluorine containing solvent is a fluorine containing alcohol selected from the group consisting of 2,2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropanol, 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropanol, 2-trifluoromethyl-2-propanol, 2,2,3,3,4,4-hexafluorobutanol, 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoropentanol, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-1-propanol, 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-ethanol, 2,3-difluorobenzylalcohol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, 1,3-difluoro-2-propanol, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanol, 3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propanol, 2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluoro-1-butanol, 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoro-1-pentanol, 3,3,4,4,5,5,5-heptafluoro-2-pentanol, 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8,-pentadecafluoro-1-octanol, 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluoro-1-octanol, 1H,1H,9H-perfluoro-1-nonanol, 1H,1H,2H,3H,3H,-perfluorononane-1,2-diol, 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluoro-1-decanol, 1H,1H,2H,3H,3H-perfluoroundecane-1,2-diol, and mixtures thereof, and

the organic layer B is an electron transport layer.

2. The method for producing an organic electronic element of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting layer is formed by coating using a non-polar solvent.

3. The method for producing an organic electronic element of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting layer contains a phosphorescence emitting compound.

4. The method for producing an organic electronic element of claim 1 , wherein the fluorine containing solvent is used by mixing with a polar solvent containing no fluorine atom.

5. The method for producing an organic electronic element of claim 1 , wherein at least one cross-linked organic layer is provided prior to coating the organic layer B using a fluorine containing solvent.

6. The method for producing an organic electronic element of claim 1 , wherein a metal layer or a metal compound layer is laminated on the organic layer B formed by coating using a fluorine containing solvent.

7. The method for producing an organic electronic element of claim 1 , wherein the organic electronic element is a photoelectric conversion element, and the organic layer A is a bulk hetero junction layer.

8. The method for producing an organic electronic element of claim 7 , wherein the bulk hetero junction layer is formed by coating using a non-polar solvent.

9. The method for producing an organic electronic element of claim 7 , wherein the organic layer B is an electron transport layer.

10. The method for producing an organic electronic element of claim 7 , wherein the organic layer B contains a compound having a carboline ring or a carbazole ring.
