Abstract

Provided are: a curable composition containing a compound having a polymerizable group, which allows the production of an organic electroluminescent element in which a plurality of organic layers are formed between both electrodes to be performed through a wet process; and an organic electroluminescent element improved in light emission performance, including a layer containing a cured product of the curable composition. Specifically, provided are: a curable composition containing an indolocarbazole compound having one polymerizable group such as a vinyl group or an epoxy group and having an indolocarbazole skeleton, and a compound having two polymerizable groups; and an organic electroluminescent element including a layer obtained by applying and curing the curable composition as a hole transport layer of the organic electroluminescent element.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A curable composition, comprising a compound represented by the general formula (1) and a compound represented by the general formula (2), wherein a content of the compound represented by the general formula (1) is from 10 to 90 mol % and a content of the compound represented by the general formula (2) is from 90 to 10 mol %, with respect to a total number of moles of the compound represented by the general formula (1) and the compound represented by the general formula (2):

in the general formula (1), a ring A represents a heterocycle represented by the formula (1a), the heterocycle being condensed with an adjacent ring at an arbitrary position, R's each represent a hydrogen atom, a C 1 to C 20 alkyl group, a C 1 to C 20 alkoxy group, a C 6 to C 30 aryl group, a C 6 to C 30 aryloxy group, a C 7 to C 36 arylalkyl group, a C 7 to C 36 arylalkyloxy group, a C 3 to C 30 heteroaryl group, a C 3 to C 30 heteroaryloxy group, a C 4 to C 36 heteroarylalkyl group, a C 4 to C 36 heteroarylalkyloxy group, or a C 3 to C 30 cycloalkyl group, and may be identical to or different from each other, Y 1 represents a single bond or a divalent group, W 1 represents a radically polymerizable group or a cationically polymerizable group, and Z 1 represents a C 6 to C 30 aryl group, a C 3 to C 30 heteroaryl group, or a C 12 to C 60 diarylamino group; and
in the general formula (2), Y 3 represents a single bond or a divalent group, W 2 's each represent a radically polymerizable group or a cationically polymerizable group, and two W 2 's may be identical to or different from each other.

2. A curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by the general formula (1) comprises a compound represented by the following formula (3) or (4):

in the formula (3) or (4), Y 1 's, W 1 's, and Z 1 each have the same meaning as that in the general formula (1), and R 1 's each have the same meaning as that of each of R's in the general formula (1).

3. A curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein Y 3 in the general formula (2) has a C 6 to C 18 divalent aryl group, a C 3 to C 18 divalent heteroaryl group, a C 8 to C 18 divalent arylamino group, or a C 3 to C 18 divalent heteroarylamino group therein.

4. A curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein W 1 and W 2 's each independently represent a radically polymerizable group or a cationically polymerizable group selected from a vinyl group, a substituted vinyl group substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an epoxy group, and an oxetanyl group.

5. A curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein:
W 1 and W 2 's each represent a vinyl group analogue selected from a vinyl group and a substituted vinyl group;
the compound represented by the general formula (1) has one vinyl group analogue; and
the compound represented by the general formula (2) has two vinyl group analogues.

6. A cured product, which is obtained by curing the curable composition according to claim 1 .

7. An organic electroluminescent element, comprising organic layers between an anode layer and a cathode layer laminated on a substrate, wherein at least one of the organic layers contains the cured product according to claim 6 .

8. An organic electroluminescent element according to claim 7 , wherein the organic layer containing the cured product comprises a hole transport layer.
