ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT ELEMENT

摘要

Disclosed is a useful organic EL device which comprises a phosphorescent light-emitting layer and is endowed with improved luminous efficiency and high driving stability. Also disclosed is a hole-transporting material suitable for use in the phosphorescent light-emitting device. The hole-transporting material is a triptycene derivative which has substituents at the 9- and 10-positions and is substituted with an aromatic group containing at least one diarylamino group (-ArNAr 2 ). The organic EL device contains the triptycene derivative in at least one organic layer selected from the group of a phosphorescent light-emitting layer, a hole-transporting layer, an electron-blocking layer, and an exciton-blocking layer. The diarylamino group (-NAr 2 ) may be fused to form an aromatic heterocyclic group such as a carbazolyl group.
