Description

Organic metal iridium complex, preparation method thereof and application thereof in OLED
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and particularly relates to an organic metal iridium complex, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in an OLED (organic light emitting diode).
Background
The Organic Light Emission Diodes (OLED) device technology can be used for manufacturing novel display products and novel lighting products, is expected to replace the existing liquid crystal display and fluorescent lamp lighting, and has a very wide application prospect. The OLED device is just like a sandwich structure and comprises electrode material film layers and organic functional materials clamped between different electrode film layers, and various different functional materials are mutually overlapped together according to purposes to form the OLED device. When voltage is applied to two end electrodes of the OLED light-emitting device as a current device, positive and negative charges in the organic layer functional material film layer are acted through an electric field, and the positive and negative charges are further compounded in the light-emitting layer, namely OLED electroluminescence is generated.
Currently, the OLED display technology has been applied in the fields of smart phones, tablet computers, and the like, and will further expand to large-size application fields such as televisions, but compared with actual product application requirements, the light emitting efficiency, the service life, and other performances of the OLED device need to be further improved. The research on the improvement of the performance of the OLED device includes: the driving voltage of the device is reduced, the luminous efficiency of the device is improved, the service life of the device is prolonged, and the like. In order to realize the continuous improvement of the performance of the OLED device, not only the innovation of the structure and the manufacturing process of the OLED device but also the continuous research and innovation of the OLED photoelectric functional material are needed to create the functional material of the OLED with higher performance.
Research by Forrest et al at the university of princeton, 1998, has found that organic light-emitting devices prepared using common organic materials or using fluorescent dye doping techniques have a maximum light-emitting internal quantum efficiency of 25% due to the constraint of the quantum mechanical transition law of spin conservation. They dope the phosphorescent dye octaethylporphyrin platinum in a main luminescent material to prepare a luminescent device with the external quantum efficiency of 4 percent and the internal quantum efficiency of 23 percent, thereby opening up a new field of phosphorescent electroluminescence. The organic phosphorescent complex has very high efficiency and brightness, so the organic phosphorescent complex has a strong application prospect in the field of organic solid-state lighting. However, the phosphorescent complexes reported at present have serious triplet-triplet annihilation and poor carrier transport capability, and the complexes can realize high-performance electroluminescence only in a very low and very narrow doping concentration range, which requires harsh device preparation conditions, thereby resulting in high cost in industrial production and affecting the quality and commercial competitiveness of products.
Therefore, aiming at the industrial application requirements of the current OLED device and the photoelectric characteristic requirements of the OLED device, a more suitable light-emitting layer doping material with high performance must be selected to realize the comprehensive characteristics of high efficiency, long service life and low voltage of the device. In terms of the actual demand of the current OLED display illumination industry, the development of the current OLED material is far from enough, and lags behind the requirements of panel manufacturing enterprises, and the development of the current OLED material as a material enterprise for developing higher-performance organic functional materials is very important.

Complex 128 was prepared in the same manner as in examples 1 to 12, except that 2- (7-phenyl-7-H-benzo [ c ] furan-7-yl) pyridine was used as a starting material in place of 2- (9-phenylfluorene) -pyridine.
The HPLC purity of the target complex is 99.56%; the complex is identified by DEI-MS, formula C62H38IrN3O2Detection value [ M +1 ]]+1049.36, calculate value 1049.26.
The complex is used in a light-emitting device, has high glass transition temperature (Tg) and decomposition temperature (Td), has proper HOMO energy level, and can be used as a light-emitting layer material. The complexes prepared in the above examples of the present invention were respectively tested for thermal performance and HOMO level, and the results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0001527267200000201
Figure BDA0001527267200000211
Note: the glass transition temperature Tg is determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC, DSC204F1 DSC, Germany Chi corporation), the heating rate is 10 ℃/min; the thermogravimetric temperature Td is a temperature at which the weight loss is 0.5% in a nitrogen atmosphere, and is measured on a TGA-50H thermogravimetric analyzer of Shimadzu corporation, Japan, and the nitrogen flow rate is 20 mL/min; the highest occupied molecular orbital HOMO energy level was tested by the ionization energy test system (IPS-3) in a vacuum environment.
As can be seen from table 1, the complex of the present invention has a suitable HOMO energy level, and can be used as a dopant light emitting material. Relative to the conventional phosphorescent doped material Ir (ppy)3The material has higher glass transition temperature and decomposition temperature, so that the material has better thermal stability and chemical stability, and on one hand, the film crystallization of the material can be effectively inhibited, and on the other hand, the luminous material can be prevented from being decomposed by heat generated by long-time work of a device.
The complex is used in a luminescent device, has higher fluorescence quantum yield (PLQY), narrower spectral half-peak width (FWHM) and very short phosphorescence deactivation life (tau), and has good application potential when being used as a luminescent layer doping material. The complex prepared in the above example of the present invention was subjected to fluorescence quantum efficiency, emission spectrum and phosphorescence deactivation lifetime tests, and the results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0001527267200000212
Figure BDA0001527267200000221
Note: the FWHM and the generation spectrum adopt FLS1000 equipment of Edinburgh university, the excitation wavelength is 380nm, and the excitation light source is a 450w continuous xenon lamp. The PLQY adopts an integrating sphere test system of FLS1000 equipment of Edinburgh university, and the excitation wavelength is 380 nm; the phosphorescence deactivation lifetime adopts TCSPC technology of FLS1000 equipment of Edinburgh university, and the laser excitation wavelength is 375 nm. The test sample is a material with the thickness of 80nm evaporated on a high-transmittance quartz glass substrate in vacuum and packaged in a glove box.
As can be seen from Table 2, compared to the conventional phosphorescent material Ir (ppy)3The complex has higher fluorescence quantum efficiency. The higher the fluorescence quantum efficiency is, the more sufficient the energy is converted into the light energy, and after the organic electroluminescent device is applied, the luminous efficiency of the device is improved. Maximum emission wavelength ratio of inventive complexes Ir (ppy)3Short, FWHM ratio Ir (ppy)3Narrow, the shorter the emission wavelength, the higher its color purity; the smaller the FWHM, the more efficient the use of light energy. Therefore, after the complex prepared by the invention is used for an organic electroluminescent device, the luminous efficiency of the device can be improved.
