Detailed Description
The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of the application. Specific examples of components and arrangements are described below to simplify the present disclosure. These are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application.
OLED compounds rely on radiative decay of molecular excited states (excitons) generated by recombination of electrons and holes in a bulk transport material. The nature of the excitation results in an interaction between the electron and the hole, which causes the excited state to split into a bright singlet state and a dark triplet state. Conventional phosphorescent OLEDs rely on the mixing of singlet and triplet states due to spin-orbital (SO) interaction. This results in energy harvesting from all higher singlet and triplet states followed by phosphorescence (relative time opposed light from excited triplet states). The short lifetime of the triplet state results in destruction of the triplet exciton by charge and other excitons.
There is therefore a need in the art to provide an OLED that can reach higher excited states without rapid decay. TADF is known to be capable of transferring populations between singlet and triplet energy order in a relative timing (e.g., 110 μ s). The organic electroluminescent compounds proposed in the present disclosure are capable of emitting fluorescence or phosphorescence in a higher energy excited state than conventional organic electroluminescent compounds. The organic electroluminescent compounds of the present disclosure can improve carrier transport ability. In certain embodiments, the organic electroluminescent compounds of the present disclosure can be used in electronic or optoelectronic devices, such as light-emitting elements, light-emitting devices, or lighting devices.

In some embodiments, the transparent substrate is suitable for supporting a substrate of an organic EL device, and is preferably a planar and smooth substrate having a light transmittance of 50% or more. In some embodiments, the organic EL device is of a top-emission or top-emission type, in which light is emitted from an upper portion of the device and a light-reflecting metal, such as aluminum, is disposed over the substrate.
In some embodiments, in the organic electroluminescent device, a mixed region of an electron transport compound and a reductive dopant or a mixed region of a hole transport compound and an oxidative dopant may be provided on at least one surface of the pair of electrodes. In some embodiments, the electron transport compound is reduced to an anion, thereby facilitating the injection and transport of electrons from the mixing region into the electroluminescent medium. In some embodiments, the hole transport compound is oxidized to a cation, thereby facilitating the injection and transport of holes from the mixing region into the electroluminescent medium. In certain embodiments, the oxidizing dopant comprises a plurality of lewis and acceptor compounds, wherein the reducing dopant comprises an alkali metal, an alkali metal compound, an alkaline earth metal, a rare earth metal, or mixtures thereof. In some embodiments, a reductive dopant layer can be used as a charge generation layer to produce an electroluminescent device with two or more electroluminescent layers that can emit white light.
In some embodiments, the organic EL device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and at least one organic layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. In some embodiments, the organic layer comprises a light-emitting layer. In some embodiments, the light-emitting layer comprises a combination of an organic electroluminescent device of the present disclosure and a phosphorus dopant. In some embodiments, the composition of the organic electroluminescent device comprises a host material.
In some embodiments, the organic layer of the organic EL device may further comprise at least one compound selected from the group consisting of: the arylamine group is a compound or a styrene arylamine group compound.
In some embodiments, in the organic EL device, the organic layer may further include organic electroluminescent compounds represented by formulas (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), and (VI), at least one metal selected from the group consisting of: an organometallic of a metal of group I, a metal of group II, a transition metal of period IV, a transition metal of period V, a metal of lanthanide and a d-transition element of the periodic Table, or at least one complex comprising a metal. In some embodiments, the organic layer may further comprise a light-emitting layer and a charge-generating layer.
In some embodiments, an organic EL device can emit white light by employing at least one light emitting layer including a blue electroluminescent compound, a red electroluminescent compound, or a green electroluminescent compound other than the compounds described in the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the organic EL device may further include a yellow light emitting layer or an orange light emitting layer.
In some embodiments, at least one layer (referred to as a "surface layer") selected from the following may be provided on one or more inner surfaces of one or both electrodes of the organic EL device: a chalcogenide layer, a metal halide layer, and a metal oxide layer. In some embodiments, a silicon or aluminum chalcogenide (including oxide) layer may be preferably disposed on the anode surface of the electroluminescent medium layer, and a metal halide layer or a metal oxide layer may be preferably disposed on the cathode surface of the electroluminescent medium layer. Such a surface layer provides the organic electroluminescent device with operational stability. In a preferred case, the sulfide includes SiOX(1≤X≤2)、AlOX(X is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 1.5), SiON, SiAlON and the like; the metal halide comprises LiF, MgF2、CaF2Rare earth metal fluorides, etc.; and the organic oxide comprises Cs2O、Li2O, MgO, SrO, BaO, CaO, etc.
In some embodiments, the use of an organic electroluminescent compound of formula (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), or (VI) as a host material for an organic EL device can provide practical performance and lifetime to the organic EL device.
