Abstract

An aromatic amine derivative with a specific structure and an organic electroluminescence device which comprises at least one organic thin film layer comprising a light emitting layer sandwiched between a pair of electrode consisting of an anode and a cathode, wherein at least one of the organic thin film layer comprises the aromatic amine derivative singly or as its mixture component. The organic electroluminescence device which exhibits an enhanced current efficiency of light emission and emits blue light with a prolonged lifetime is realized.

Claims (21)

1. An aromatic amine derivative represented by the following general formula (1):

wherein Ar 1 to Ar 4 each independently represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 ring carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 5 to 30 ring carbon atoms;

L 1 represents a single bond;

L 2 represents a single bond, a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group having 6 to 30 ring carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylene group having 5 to 30 ring carbon atoms;

when both L 1 and L 2 are single bonds, however, a case where both Ar 1 and Ar 3 each represents a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group and further, where both Ar 2 and Ar 4 each represents a substituted or unsubstituted biphenylyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group is excluded;

R a represents a substituent and when R a exists two or more, they may bond each other to form a ring; and

n represents an integer of 0 to 8.

2. An aromatic amine derivative represented by the following general formula (2) or by the following general formula (3):

wherein Ar 5 to Ar 15 each independently represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 ring carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 5 to 30 ring carbon atoms;

L 3 to L 7 each independently represents a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group having 6 to 30 ring carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylene group having 5 to 30 ring carbon atoms; and further, at least one of L 3 or L 4 in the general formula (2) or at least one of L 5 to L 7 in the general formula (3) is a coupling group expressed by a following general formula (4):

wherein L 8 and L 9 each independently represents a single bond, a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group having 6 to 30 ring carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylene group having 5 to 30 ring carbon atoms;

R a represents a substituent and when R a exists two or more, they may bond each other to form a ring; and

n represents an integer of 0 to 8.

3. An aromatic amine derivative represented by the following general formula (5):

wherein Ar 16 to Ar 19 each independently represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 ring carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 5 to 30 ring carbon atoms;

L 10 represents a single bond;

L 11 represents a single bond, a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group having 6 to 30 ring carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylene group having 5 to 30 ring carbon atoms;

R a represents a substituent and when R a exists two or more, they may bond each other to form a ring; and

n represents an integer of 0 to 8.

4. The aromatic amine derivative according to claim 2 represented by the following formula:

5. The aromatic amine derivative according to claim 1 represented by the following formula:
