wherein, R1, R2, R3, Ar1 and Ar2 all comprise one of hydrogen, alkyl with the carbon number of 2-30, aryl with the carbon number of 6-30 and heteroaryl with the carbon number of 5-30.
Specifically, the electron blocking layer comprises a carbazole-arylamine compound, and the carbazole-arylamine compound comprises the structural general formula. Carbazole-arylamine compounds are directly available from commercial sources. The nitrogen element which is not connected with R3 and R1 is aryl with 6-30 carbon atoms or heteroaryl with 5-30 carbon atoms through a single bond. The arrangement can improve the stability of the material of the electron barrier layer so as to prolong the service life of the light-emitting unit.
In some embodiments, the host material comprises a blue-light host material; the dopant material includes a blue dopant.
Specifically, a blue light emitting layer, a display panel including the blue light emitting layer, and a display device including the blue light emitting layer may be prepared by a blue light host material and a blue light dopant.
In a first specific embodiment, one selective blue host material and two different blue dopants are used, the two blue dopants including a first blue dopant and a second blue dopant.
The highest occupied orbital level of the blue host material is-5.93 electron volts, the highest occupied orbital level of the first blue dopant is-5.72 electron volts, and the difference between the highest occupied orbital levels of the blue host material and the blue dopant is 0.21 electron volts. The highest occupied orbital energy level difference of the second blue dopant is-5.34 electron volts and the highest occupied orbital energy level difference of the blue host material and the blue dopant is 0.59 electron volts.
Three single-hole carrier light-emitting units are prepared, and the disorder degree and the hole mobility of the light-emitting layer are obtained by preparing the single-hole carrier light-emitting units.
The step of preparing a first single hole carrier light emitting cell comprises: cleaning and drying the conductive glass substrate; and sequentially evaporating and plating a hole injection layer, a hole transmission layer, an electron blocking layer, a light emitting layer comprising a blue light main body material and a cathode on one side of the conductive glass substrate. In this example, the highest occupied orbital level of the electron blocking layer is-5.3 electron volts.
The preparation steps of the light-emitting unit of the embodiment of the application are different from the preparation of the first single-hole carrier light-emitting unit: an emissive layer including a blue host material and a first blue dopant is prepared. The mass ratio of the blue host material to the first blue dopant is 97: 3.
the preparation steps of the luminescent unit as a comparative example in the examples of the present application are different from those of the first singlet hole carrier luminescent unit: a light emitting layer including a blue host material and a second blue dopant is prepared. The mass ratio of the blue host material to the second blue dopant is 97: 3.
the three single-hole carrier light-emitting units are subjected to IV test at the temperature of 25 ℃, 35 ℃, 55 ℃ and 85 ℃ respectively to obtain the IV characteristics of the three single-hole carrier light-emitting units at different temperatures, and the mobility of the three single-hole carrier light-emitting units at different temperatures is obtained by calculating the current density and voltage curve through a space charge limited current method.
As shown in fig. 4, the relationship between the mobility under the electric field of 0 and the temperature is obtained by using the calculation formula of the gaussian disorder model, and logarithmic plotting is performed to obtain the linear relationship between the mobility and the temperature. In the figure, L1 represents a plot of the logarithm of the mobility of the first hole carrier light-emitting unit against the reciprocal of the square of the temperature, L2 represents a plot of the logarithm of the mobility of the light-emitting unit of the example of the present application against the reciprocal of the square of the temperature, L3 represents a plot of the logarithm of the mobility of the light-emitting unit of the example of the present application as a comparative example against the reciprocal of the square of the temperature, HOD represents the hole carrier light-emitting unit, μ is the mobility, E ═ 0 represents that the electric field is 0, the ordinate means the logarithm of the mobility under the electric field is 0, and the abscissa represents the reciprocal of the square of the temperature. The slope of the curve is a numerical value related to the disorder degree, the disorder degree is obtained according to the slope of the fitted curve, and the greater the slope is, the greater the disorder degree is. As can be seen from the figures, the proximity of L1 and L2 indicates that the disorder degrees of the first single-hole-carrier light-emitting unit and the light-emitting unit of the embodiment of the present application are close, and the inclination of L3 is greater than the inclination of L1 and the inclination of L2, indicating that the disorder degree of the light-emitting unit of the embodiment of the present application as a comparative example is higher than the disorder degrees of the first single-hole-carrier light-emitting unit and the light-emitting unit of the embodiment of the present application.
The current density versus voltage versus current density plots for the first single hole carrier light emitting cell, the device of the example of the present application, and the light emitting cell of the example of the present application as a comparative example are shown in fig. 5, where L4 represents the current density versus voltage plot for the first single hole carrier light emitting cell, and L5 represents the current density versus voltage plot for the light emitting cell of the example of the present application; l6 shows a current density versus voltage curve of the light emitting cell of the example of the present application as a comparative example. As can be seen from the figures, the mobility of the first single hole carrier light emitting unit and the light emitting unit of the example of the present application are close, and the mobility of the light emitting unit of the example of the present application as a comparative example is lower than that of the light emitting unit.
According to the embodiment, the disorder degree is increased, the mobility is reduced, the first blue light dopant has little influence on the disorder degree of the system, the hole mobility has no obvious change, and the second blue light dopant can obviously increase the disorder degree.
In a second specific embodiment, the blue host material and the blue dopant of the first specific embodiment are used.
Preparing three blue OLED light-emitting units, wherein the process for preparing the first blue OLED light-emitting unit comprises the following steps: cleaning and drying the conductive glass substrate; and sequentially evaporating and plating an anode, a hole injection layer, an electron blocking layer, a luminescent layer comprising a blue light main body material, the hole blocking layer, the electron injection layer and a cathode on one side of the conductive glass substrate. In this example, the highest occupied orbital level of the electron blocking layer is-5.45 electron volts.
The preparation process of the second blue light OLED light-emitting unit is different from that of the first blue light OLED light-emitting unit in that: a light emitting layer including a host material and a first blue dopant is prepared. The mass ratio of the blue host material to the first blue dopant is 97: 3.
the blue OLED light-emitting unit 3 is prepared by a different process from the first blue OLED light-emitting unit: after the electron blocking layer material is evaporated, the host material and the second blue light dopant are co-evaporated. The mass ratio of the blue host material to the second blue dopant is 97: 3.
and performing IV test on the three blue light OLED light-emitting units, and obtaining the percentage data of the voltage, the efficiency and the service life of the blue light OLED light-emitting units when the current density is 15 milliampere/square centimeter.
TABLE 1 percent Voltage, efficiency and lifetime obtained at a current density of 15 mA/cm
Figure BDA0003189784290000111
As can be seen from table 1, the efficiency of the first blue OLED light emitting unit is the lowest due to the low fluorescence quantum yield of the host material, which results in the low efficiency of the first blue OLED light emitting unit. The efficiency is significantly improved after the blue dopant material. Comparing the data of the second blue light OLED light-emitting unit and the third blue light OLED light-emitting unit, the second blue light OLED light-emitting unit has the longest service life, and the reasons include that after the first blue light dopant material is doped, the disorder degree is almost unchanged, and the hole mobility is close to that of the intrinsic material of the host material, so that hole electrons in the light-emitting layer are more balanced, and the light-emitting unit does not fail due to the fact that the light-emitting layer is matched with the electron blocking layer material which occupies the shallower orbital energy level to the highest degree. The third blue OLED light emitting unit has a very short lifetime because the doped second blue dopant, which is doped in, increases disorder, resulting in a decrease in hole mobility. The electron mobility is unchanged, so that the electron hole transport ratio in the light-emitting layer is increased, and the exciton recombination region is deviated to one side of the electron blocking layer. If the electron blocking layer with the shallow highest occupied orbital level is matched at this time, holes and excitons are concentrated on the interface of the electron blocking layer and the light emitting layer, so that the interface is damaged, and the service life of the light emitting unit is reduced.
In a third specific embodiment, one selective blue host material and two different blue dopants are used, the two blue dopants including a third blue dopant and a fourth blue dopant.
The highest occupied orbital level of the blue host material is-5.93 electron volts, the highest occupied orbital level of the third blue dopant is-5.37 electron volts, and the difference between the highest occupied orbital levels of the blue host material and the blue dopant is 0.56 electron volts. The highest occupied orbital energy level difference of the fourth blue dopant is-5.78 electron volts, and the highest occupied orbital energy level difference of the blue host material and the blue dopant is 0.15 electron volts.
Three single-hole carrier light-emitting units are prepared, and the disorder degree and the hole mobility of the light-emitting layer are obtained by preparing the single-hole carrier light-emitting units.
The step of preparing a second single hole carrier light emitting cell comprises: cleaning and drying the conductive glass substrate; and sequentially evaporating and plating a hole injection layer, a hole transmission layer, an electron blocking layer, a light emitting layer comprising a blue light main body material and a cathode on one side of the conductive glass substrate.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the electron blocking layer material includes a carbazole structure, and the highest occupied orbital level of the electron blocking layer is-5.45 ev and the triplet level is 2.63 ev.
The preparation steps of the light-emitting unit according to another embodiment of the present application are different from those of the second single-hole carrier light-emitting unit, in which a blue light host material and a third blue light dopant are evaporated on a side of the hole transport layer away from the hole injection layer to obtain a light-emitting layer. The mass ratio of the blue host material to the third blue dopant is 97: 3.
the difference between the preparation steps of the light-emitting unit as a comparative example and the preparation of the second single-hole carrier light-emitting unit is that a blue light host material and a fourth blue light dopant are evaporated on the side, far away from a hole injection layer, of a hole transport layer to obtain a light-emitting layer. The mass ratio of the blue host material to the fourth blue dopant is 97: 3.
the three single-hole carrier light-emitting units are subjected to IV test at the temperature of 25 ℃, 35 ℃, 55 ℃ and 85 ℃ respectively to obtain the IV characteristics of the three single-hole carrier light-emitting units at different temperatures, and the mobility of the three single-hole carrier light-emitting units at different temperatures is obtained by calculating the current density and voltage curve through a space charge limited current method.
As shown in fig. 7, the relationship between the mobility under the 0 electric field and the temperature is obtained by using the calculation formula of the gaussian disorder model, and logarithmic plotting is performed to obtain that the mobility and the temperature are in a linear relationship. In the figure, L7 represents a log of mobility of the second hole carrier light emitting cell with respect to an inverse of a square of temperature, L8 represents a log of mobility of the light emitting cell of another embodiment of the present application with respect to an inverse of a square of temperature, L9 represents a log of mobility of the light emitting cell of another embodiment of the present application as a comparative example with respect to an inverse of a square of temperature, μ represents mobility, Ln represents a base logarithm (i.e., a natural logarithm), E ═ 0 represents an electric field of 0, ordinate means a log of mobility under an electric field of 0, and abscissa represents an inverse of a square of temperature. The slope of the curve is a numerical value related to the disorder degree, the disorder degree is obtained according to the slope of the fitted curve, and the greater the slope is, the greater the disorder degree is. As can be seen from the graph, L7 is close to L8, indicating that the disorder degrees of the second single-hole carrier light-emitting unit and the light-emitting unit of the present example as a comparative example are close, and the inclination of L9 is greater than the inclination of L7 and the inclination of L8, indicating that the disorder degree of the light-emitting unit of the present example is higher than the disorder degrees of the second single-hole carrier light-emitting unit and the light-emitting unit of the present example as a comparative example.
Current density versus voltage plots for the second hole carrier light-emitting cell, a device of another embodiment of the present application, and a light-emitting cell of another embodiment of the present application as a comparative example, as shown in fig. 8, where L10 represents the current density versus voltage plot for the second hole carrier light-emitting cell, L11 represents the current density versus voltage plot for the light-emitting cell of another embodiment of the present application, and L12 represents the current density versus voltage plot for the light-emitting cell of another embodiment of the present application as a comparative example. As can be seen from the graph, the mobility of the second single hole carrier light emitting unit and the light emitting unit of the other embodiment of the present application as a comparative example are close, and the mobility of the light emitting unit of the other embodiment of the present application is lower than that of the light emitting unit.
In a fourth specific embodiment, the blue host material and the blue dopant of the third specific embodiment are used.
Three blue light OLED light-emitting units are prepared, and the process for preparing the fourth blue light OLED light-emitting unit comprises the following steps: cleaning and drying the conductive glass substrate; and sequentially evaporating an anode material, a hole injection layer material, an electron blocking layer material, a blue light main body material, a hole blocking layer material, an electron injection layer material and a cathode material on one side of the conductive glass substrate. In this example, the highest occupied orbital level of the electron blocking layer is-5.45 electron volts.
The preparation process of the fifth blue light OLED light-emitting unit is different from that of the fourth blue light OLED light-emitting unit in that: after the electron blocking layer material is evaporated, the host material and the third blue light dopant are co-evaporated. The mass ratio of the blue host material to the third blue dopant is 97: 3.
the preparation process of the sixth blue light OLED light-emitting unit is different from that of the fourth blue light OLED light-emitting unit in that: after the electron blocking layer material is evaporated, the host material and the fourth blue light dopant are co-evaporated. The mass ratio of the blue host material to the fourth blue dopant is 97: 3.
IVL testing was performed on three light emitting cells and the percent voltage, efficiency and lifetime data were obtained at a current density of 15 milliamps/square centimeter.
TABLE 2 percent Voltage, efficiency and lifetime obtained at a current density of 15 mA/cm
Figure BDA0003189784290000141
As can be seen from table 2, the efficiency of the fourth blue OLED light emitting unit is the lowest, and the efficiency life of the fifth blue OLED light emitting unit is the best, because after the third blue dopant material is doped, although the hole mobility is reduced, the hole injection from the electron blocking layer to the host material is smooth by the deeper electron blocking layer material, so that the reduction of the mobility is compensated. Meanwhile, the matched electron blocking layer material uses a high triplet state energy level, so that excitons can be limited in the light emitting layer, and the efficiency is improved. Meanwhile, the carbazole structure is beneficial to improving the electron stability of the electron barrier layer material, so that the service life of the light-emitting unit is prolonged. However, in the sixth blue OLED light-emitting unit, the hole mobility of the light-emitting layer is not reduced, and meanwhile, the electron blocking layer material with the highest occupied rail energy level is used, so that holes injected into the light-emitting layer are smooth, the holes in the light-emitting layer are excessive, and the efficiency is reduced. The sixth blue OLED light emitting unit has a long lifetime but low efficiency.
In some embodiments, the disorder is tested by a method including, but not limited to, temperature swing mobility testing.
The disorder degree change of the host material and the doping material system in this embodiment is an increased value of the disorder degree relative to the pure host material itself.
