The embodiment of the application provides a light-emitting unit, and the structure of the light-emitting unit is shown in figures 1-3, and mainly comprises an electron blocking layer and a light-emitting layer which are sequentially laminated. The light-emitting layer comprises a host material and a doping material; the difference between the absolute value of the highest occupied orbital (HOMO, highest Occupied Molecular Orbital) energy level of the host material and the absolute value of the highest occupied orbital energy level of the dopant material is not greater than a first design value, the highest occupied orbital energy level of the electron blocking layer being within a first design energy level range; alternatively, the difference between the absolute value of the highest occupied orbital level of the host material and the absolute value of the highest occupied orbital level of the dopant material is greater than the first design value and not greater than the second design value, the highest occupied orbital level of the electron blocking layer is within the second design energy range, the triplet energy level of the electron blocking layer is not less than the third design value, and the material of the electron blocking layer includes a carbazole structure.
Specifically, the light-emitting layer doped by the doping material has increased disorder in a certain range by matching the difference between the absolute value of the highest occupied orbit energy level of the host material and the absolute value of the highest occupied orbit energy level of the doping material with the electron blocking layer.
In this embodiment, according to the range of the difference between the absolute values of the host material and the dopant material of the light-emitting layer at the highest occupied track energy level, the resistive barrier layer having different highest occupied track energy levels or having the highest occupied track energy levels, triplet energy levels, and material structures is matched, so that the disorder degree of the material system of the electron barrier layer is within the design range, so as to maintain the hole mobility and the electron mobility of the light-emitting layer at relatively similar levels, and make the electrons in the exciton recombination region uniformly distributed in the light-emitting layer, so as to change the transmissibility of the blue light-emitting layer, thereby improving the efficiency of the light-emitting layer or prolonging the service life.

Specifically, the host material has a highest occupied orbital energy level between-5.6 electron volts and-6.2 electron volts, and the dopant material has a highest occupied orbital energy level between-5.2 electron volts and-5.8 electron volts. When the highest occupied orbit energy level difference between the host material and the doped material is not more than 0.3 ev, in order to ensure that the doped material in the light-emitting layer does not obviously cause the reduction of hole mobility, and meanwhile, the excitons are uniformly distributed in the whole light-emitting layer, the disorder degree increment caused by the system of the host material and the doped material compared with the host material per se should not more than 0.3 ev, and the highest occupied orbit energy level of the electron blocking layer material to be matched should not less than-5.5 ev and not more than-5.2 ev.

Specifically, the triplet energy level of the electron blocking layer is not less than 2.5 ev and not more than 2.9 ev. Optionally, the triplet energy level of the electron blocking layer is 2.6 ev.
In some embodiments, the mass ratio of host material to dopant material is 9:1 to 119:1.
specifically, the proportion of the weight ratio of the doping materials is not less than 0.5% and not more than 10%. Optionally, the mass ratio of host material to dopant material is 10:1.

wherein R1, R2, R3, ar1 and Ar2 each comprise one of hydrogen, an alkyl group having 2 to 30 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms and a heteroaryl group having 5 to 30 carbon atoms.
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 through market procurement. 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. This arrangement can improve the stability of the electron blocking layer material to improve the lifetime of the light emitting unit.
In some embodiments, the host material comprises a blue host material; the doping material includes a blue dopant.
In particular, 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 host material and a blue dopant.
In a first specific embodiment, one selected 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 energy level difference of the second blue dopant is-5.34 ev, and the highest occupied orbital energy level difference of the blue host material and the blue dopant is 0.59 ev.
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 includes: cleaning and drying the conductive glass substrate; and forming a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a light emitting layer comprising a blue light main body material and a cathode by vapor deposition on one side of the conductive glass substrate. In this embodiment, the electron blocking layer has a highest occupied orbital energy level of-5.3 ev.
The preparation steps of the light emitting unit according to the embodiment of the present application are different from those of the first single hole carrier light emitting unit: a light emitting layer including a blue host material and a first blue dopant is prepared. The mass ratio of the blue light host material to the first blue light dopant is 97:3.
the steps for preparing the light emitting unit according to the embodiment of the present application as a comparative example are different from those for preparing the coated single hole carrier light emitting unit: a light emitting layer including a blue host material and a second blue dopant is prepared. The mass ratio of the blue light host material to the second blue light dopant is 97:3.
and respectively performing IV tests on the three single hole carrier light-emitting units at the temperature of 25 ℃,35 ℃,55 ℃ and 85 ℃ to obtain IV characteristics of the three single hole carrier light-emitting units at different temperatures, and performing space charge limiting current method calculation on current density and voltage curves to obtain mobility of the three single hole carrier light-emitting units at different temperatures.
As shown in fig. 4, the relationship between the mobility and the temperature in the 0 electric field is obtained by using a calculation formula of the gaussian disorder model, and the relationship between the mobility and the temperature is plotted logarithmically, so that the mobility and the temperature are in a linear relationship. In the figure, L1 represents a plot of the logarithm of the mobility of the first single hole carrier light-emitting unit versus the inverse square of the temperature, L2 represents a plot of the logarithm of the mobility of the light-emitting unit versus the inverse square of the temperature, L3 represents a plot of the logarithm of the mobility of the light-emitting unit versus the inverse square of the temperature as a comparative example, HOD represents a single hole carrier light-emitting unit, μ is the mobility, e=0 represents the electric field is 0, the ordinate represents the logarithm of the mobility under 0 electric field, and the abscissa represents the inverse square of the temperature. The slope of the curve is a numerical value related to the disorder degree, and the disorder degree is obtained according to the slope of the fitted curve, and the larger the slope is, the larger the disorder degree is. As can be seen from the figures, the proximity of L1 and L2 indicates that the disorder degree of the first single hole carrier light emitting unit and the light emitting unit of the embodiment of the present application is close, the inclination of L3 is larger than the inclination of L1 and the inclination of L2, and the disorder degree of the light emitting unit of the embodiment of the present application as a comparative example is higher than the disorder degree 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 curve of the first single hole carrier light emitting cell, the device of the embodiment of the present application, and the light emitting cell of the embodiment of the present application as comparative examples is shown in fig. 5, in which L4 represents the current density versus voltage curve of the first single hole carrier light emitting cell, and L5 represents the current density versus voltage curve of the light emitting cell of the embodiment of the present application; l6 represents a current density versus voltage curve of the light emitting unit as a comparative example of the embodiment of the present application. 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 embodiment of the present application is close, and the mobility of the light emitting unit of the embodiment of the present application as a comparative example is lower than that of the light emitting unit of the first single hole carrier light emitting unit and the light emitting unit of the embodiment of the present application.
As can be seen from the present example, the disorder degree is increased, the mobility is reduced, the disorder degree of the system is not greatly affected by the first blue light dopant, the hole mobility is not significantly changed, and the disorder degree is significantly increased by the second blue light dopant.
In a second specific embodiment, the blue host material and blue dopant of the first specific embodiment are used.
Three blue OLED light emitting units are prepared, and the process for preparing the first blue OLED light emitting unit comprises the following steps: cleaning and drying the conductive glass substrate; an anode, a hole injection layer, an electron blocking layer, a light emitting layer comprising a blue light main body material, a hole blocking layer, an electron injection layer and a cathode are formed on one side of the conductive glass substrate by vapor deposition in sequence. In this embodiment, the electron blocking layer has a highest occupied orbital level of-5.45 ev.
The preparation process of the second blue OLED light-emitting unit is different from that of the first blue OLED light-emitting unit: a light emitting layer including a host material and a first blue dopant is prepared. The mass ratio of the blue light host material to the first blue light dopant is 97:3.
the blue OLED light emitting unit 3 is different from the first blue OLED light emitting unit in the process of manufacturing: after vapor deposition of the electron blocking layer material, the host material and the second blue dopant are co-evaporated. The mass ratio of the blue light host material to the second blue light dopant is 97:3.
and IV testing is carried out on the three blue OLED light-emitting units, and when the current density is 15 milliamperes/square centimeter, the voltage, the efficiency and the service life percentage data of the blue OLED light-emitting units are obtained.
Table 1 percentage of efficiency and lifetime for the voltage obtained at a current density of 15 milliamp/square cm
As can be seen from table 1, the efficiency of the first blue OLED light emitting unit is the lowest, because the fluorescence quantum yield of the host material is low, resulting in the low efficiency of the first blue OLED light emitting unit. After the blue dopant material, the efficiency is significantly improved. Comparing the data of the second blue OLED light-emitting unit and the third blue OLED light-emitting unit, the second blue OLED light-emitting unit has the longest service life, because the disorder degree is almost unchanged after the first blue dopant material is doped, and the hole mobility is close to that of the intrinsic material of the main material, so that electrons in the light-emitting layer are more balanced, and the electron blocking layer material with the highest occupied orbit energy level is matched, so that the light-emitting unit is not in failure. The third blue OLED light emitting cell has a very low lifetime due to the doped second blue dopant, which results in reduced hole mobility due to increased disorder after doping. The electron mobility is unchanged, so that the electron-hole transport ratio in the light-emitting layer is increased, and the exciton recombination zone is biased to the side of the electron blocking layer. If the electron blocking layer with the shallow highest occupied orbit energy level is matched at this time, holes and excitons are concentrated at 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 selected 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 ev, the highest occupied orbital level of the third blue dopant is-5.37 ev, and the highest occupied orbital level difference between the blue host material and the blue dopant is 0.56 ev. The highest occupied orbital energy level difference of the fourth blue dopant is-5.78 ev, and the highest occupied orbital energy level difference of the blue host material and the blue dopant is 0.15 ev.
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 includes: cleaning and drying the conductive glass substrate; and forming a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a light emitting layer comprising a blue light main body material and a cathode by vapor deposition 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 electron blocking layer has a highest occupied orbital energy level of-5.45 ev and a triplet energy level of 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 that a blue host material and a third blue dopant are vapor-deposited 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 light host material to the third blue light dopant is 97:3.
another embodiment of the present application is a light emitting unit of a comparative example, which is different from the second single hole carrier light emitting unit in that a light emitting layer is obtained by vapor-depositing a blue host material and a fourth blue dopant on a side of a hole transporting layer remote from a hole injecting layer. The mass ratio of the blue light host material to the fourth blue light dopant is 97:3.
and respectively performing IV tests on the three single hole carrier light-emitting units at the temperature of 25 ℃,35 ℃,55 ℃ and 85 ℃ to obtain IV characteristics of the three single hole carrier light-emitting units at different temperatures, and performing space charge limiting current method calculation on current density and voltage curves to obtain mobility of the three single hole carrier light-emitting units at different temperatures.
As shown in fig. 7, the relationship between the mobility and the temperature in the 0 electric field is obtained by using a calculation formula of the gaussian disorder model, and the relationship between the mobility and the temperature is plotted logarithmically. In the figure, L7 represents a plot of the logarithm of the mobility of the second single hole carrier light-emitting unit versus the inverse square of the temperature, L8 represents a plot of the logarithm of the mobility of the light-emitting unit versus the inverse square of the temperature, L9 represents a plot of the logarithm of the mobility of the light-emitting unit versus the inverse square of the temperature as a comparative example, μ represents the mobility, ln represents taking the logarithm (i.e., taking the natural logarithm) as the base, e=0 represents the electric field as 0, the ordinate represents the logarithm of the mobility under 0 electric field, and the abscissa represents the inverse square of the temperature. The slope of the curve is a numerical value related to the disorder degree, and the disorder degree is obtained according to the slope of the fitted curve, and the larger the slope is, the larger the disorder degree is. As can be seen from the figure, the approximation of L7 to L8 indicates that the second single hole carrier light emitting unit is approximated to the light emitting unit of the other embodiment of the present application as a comparative example, and the approximation of L9 is larger than the approximation of L7 and the approximation of L8 indicates that the disorder of the light emitting unit of the other embodiment of the present application is higher than the approximation of the disorder of the second single hole carrier light emitting unit and the approximation of the other embodiment of the present application as a comparative example.
The second single hole carrier light emitting cell, the device of another embodiment of the present application, and the light emitting cell of another embodiment of the present application are graphs of current density versus voltage as a comparative example, as shown in fig. 8, in which L10 represents a current density versus voltage curve of the second single hole carrier light emitting cell, L11 represents a current density versus voltage curve of the light emitting cell of another embodiment of the present application, and L12 represents a current density versus voltage curve of the light emitting cell of another embodiment of the present application as a comparative example. As can be seen from the figure, the mobility of the second single hole carrier light emitting unit and the light emitting unit according to the other embodiment of the present application as a comparative example is close, and the mobility of the light emitting unit according to the other embodiment of the present application is lower than that of the light emitting unit second single hole carrier light emitting unit and the light emitting unit according to the other embodiment of the present application as a comparative example.
In a fourth specific embodiment, the blue host material and blue dopant of the third specific embodiment are used.
Preparing three blue OLED light emitting units, and preparing a fourth blue OLED light emitting unit comprises the following steps: cleaning and drying the conductive glass substrate; 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 are sequentially evaporated on one side of the conductive glass substrate. In this embodiment, the electron blocking layer has a highest occupied orbital level of-5.45 ev.
The fifth blue OLED light-emitting unit is different from the fourth blue OLED light-emitting unit in the preparation process: after vapor deposition of the electron blocking layer material, the host material and the third blue dopant are co-evaporated. The mass ratio of the blue light host material to the third blue light dopant is 97:3.
the sixth blue OLED light emitting unit is different from the fourth blue OLED light emitting unit in the process of manufacturing: after vapor deposition of the electron blocking layer material, the host material and the fourth blue dopant are co-evaporated. The mass ratio of the blue light host material to the fourth blue light dopant is 97:3.
the three light emitting units were subjected to IVL testing for percentage data of voltage, efficiency and lifetime at a current density of 15 milliamp/cm.
Table 2 percentage of voltage, efficiency and lifetime obtained at a current density of 15 milliamp/square cm
As can be seen from table 2, the efficiency of the fourth blue OLED light emitting unit is the lowest, and the life of the fifth blue OLED light emitting unit is the best, because the hole mobility is reduced after doping the third blue dopant material, but the hole injection from the electron blocking layer to the host material is smooth due to the deep electron blocking layer material. Meanwhile, the matched electron blocking layer material uses a higher triplet state energy level, so that excitons can be limited in the light emitting layer, and the efficiency is improved. The carbazole structure is beneficial to improving the electronic stability of the electronic barrier layer material, so that the service life of the light-emitting unit is prolonged. However, in the sixth blue OLED light emitting unit, hole mobility of the light emitting layer is not reduced, and meanwhile, an electron blocking layer material having a deep highest occupied orbit energy level is used, so that holes injected into the light emitting layer are smooth, holes in the light emitting layer are excessive, and efficiency is reduced. The sixth blue OLED light emitting unit has a longer lifetime but lower efficiency.
In some embodiments, the method of testing for disorder includes, but is not limited to, temperature swing mobility testing.
The disorder degree change of the host material and the doping material system in the embodiment is an increased value relative to the disorder degree of the pure host material.
