Detailed Description
It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict. The present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples.
As described in the background of the invention section, the hole transport layer material in the prior art is not ideal for improving the lifetime of the organic electroluminescent device. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a composite hole transport material, comprising a first compound having a structure represented by the following chemical formula a and a second compound having a structure represented by the following chemical formula B or C:
the composite hole transport material is used as a hole transport layer material in an organic electroluminescent element, the service life of the composite hole transport material can be obviously prolonged, and meanwhile, the luminescent element has high efficiency and stability and is excellent in other service performance aspects.
More preferably, the composite hole transport material is prepared by the following method: mixing the first compound crude product and the second compound crude product to obtain a crude product mixture; carrying out sublimation purification on the crude product mixture to obtain a composite hole transport material; wherein the weight content of the first compound in the crude product mixture is 10-85%, and the weight content of the second compound in the crude product mixture is 10-85%. Thus, the composite hole transport material is prepared by mixing the crude products of the two compounds in advance according to a certain proportion and then sublimating and purifying, so that the obtained composite material is more uniform in mixing, better in film forming property and convenient for mass production operation of the material. It should be noted that the proportions of the first compound and the second compound in the crude mixture are similar to those in the composite material finally sublimed, and may fluctuate slightly but not much, due to: the first compound and the second compound have the structures as described above, and the difference between the glass transition temperatures of the first compound and the second compound is small, and is within 10 ℃, even within 7 ℃, so that a relatively pure composite material can be obtained through the mixing and sublimation purification. This is because the glass transition temperature affects the sublimation temperature, and if the glass transition temperatures of the different components differ too much, sublimation together after mixing can damage materials with lower glass transition temperatures. The glass transition temperature difference between the selected compounds is small, so that the problem can be completely overcome.
More preferably, the weight content of the first compound in the crude product of the first compound is more than or equal to 98%, and the weight content of the second compound in the crude product of the second compound is more than or equal to 98%. Thus, on one hand, sublimation purification is more facilitated, and on the other hand, the purification pressure for preparing crude products at the early stage is also reduced.
In order to further improve the device lifetime, in a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio between the first compound and the second compound is (1-3): (3-1). Such as: the weight ratio between the first compound and the second compound is 1:1 or 2:1 or 3:1 or 1:2 or 1: 3. In the specific preparation process, the composite material with the ratio can be basically obtained only by controlling the ratio of the first compound to the second compound in the crude product mixture to be the same as the ratio in the sublimed composite material, for the reasons mentioned above, and the details are not repeated here. More preferably, the weight ratio of the first compound to the second compound is 1 (2-3) or 2: 1. Under the proportion, the service life of the device can be effectively prolonged, and other performances of the device, such as efficiency, can be further improved.
In a preferred embodiment, the first compound and the second compound each have a purity of greater than 99.9%.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided an organic electroluminescent element comprising an anode, a cathode, and an organic material layer located between the anode and the cathode and comprising a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, and an electron transport layer, wherein the hole transport layer is formed of the above-described composite hole transport material. The composite hole transport material is used as a hole transport layer material of the organic electroluminescent element, so that the service life of the device is effectively prolonged, and the device has other excellent properties.
In a preferred embodiment, the organic electroluminescent element includes, from bottom to top, an anode, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and a cathode, which are stacked in this order.

Preferably, the efficiency improvement layer includes a hole injection layer, an electron blocking layer, a hole blocking layer, and an electron injection layer, which are sequentially stacked, and the hole injection layer is disposed in contact with the hole transport layer and the electron injection layer is disposed in contact with the light emitting layer.

In the case of a multilayer structure, in addition to the metals having a low work function described above, other metals having a relatively high work function, such as Ag or Al, may also be used, usually combinations of metals, such as Ca/Ag, Mg/Ag or Ag/Ag. It may also be preferred to introduce a thin intermediate layer of a material having a high dielectric constant between the metal cathode and the organic semiconductor. The intermediate layer may be an alkali metal fluoride or an alkaline earth metal fluoride, or may be a corresponding oxide or carbonate (e.g., LiF, LiQ, BaF)2、MgO、NaF、 CsF、Cs2CO3Etc.).
The anode of the organic electroluminescent element preferably contains a metal material having a high work function, such as Ag, Pt, or Au. On the other hand, metal/metal oxide materials (e.g., Al/Ni/NiO, Al/PtO) may also be preferred2). Particularly preferred is Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) or Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO).
The hole injection layer of the organic electroluminescent element facilitates the reception of holes from the anode at low voltages, and preferably the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) of the hole injection material should be secured between the work function of the anode material and the HOMO of the surrounding organic material layer, including but not limited to metalloporphyrins, oligothiophenes, anthraquinones, arylamine-based, hexacyano-Hexaazatriphenylene (HATCN), quinacridone-and perylene-based organic materials, polyaniline-based and polythiophene-based conductive polymers, and the like.
It should be noted that the hole transport layer of the organic electroluminescent device may be one or more layers, and as long as the material of one layer is the above-mentioned composite hole transport layer material, the device lifetime can be improved. The other hole transport layer is preferably the above-mentioned composite hole transport layer material, but may be other materials having higher hole mobility, such as organic materials including arylamine-based materials, conductive polymers, block copolymers having both conjugated and non-conjugated units, and the like, but is not limited thereto. The hole transport layer may receive holes from the anode or the hole injection layer and transport them to the light emitting layer.

The light-emitting layer of the organic electroluminescent element can receive holes and electrons from the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer, respectively, and cause the holes and electrons to combine with radiation to emit light. The host material of the light-emitting layer includes, but is not limited to, a fused aromatic ring derivative such as an anthracene derivative, a pyrene derivative, a naphthalene derivative, a pentacene derivative, a phenanthrene compound, and a fluoranthene compound, and a heteroaromatic ring derivative such as a carbazole derivative, a dibenzofuran derivative, a ladder-type furan compound, and a pyrimidine derivative.
