Description

Organic electroluminescent material and device thereof

Technical Field

The present invention relates to compounds for use in organic electronic devices, such as organic electroluminescent devices. And more particularly, to a compound having a structure of formula 1, and an organic electroluminescent device and a compound composition including the compound.

Background

Organic electronic devices include, but are not limited to, the following: organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs), organic field effect transistors (O-FETs), organic light emitting transistors (OLEDs), organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs), dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), organic optical detectors, organic photoreceptors, organic field effect devices (OFQDs), light emitting electrochemical cells (LECs), organic laser diodes and organic electroluminescent devices.

In 1987, tang and Van Slyke of Isomandah reported a double-layered organic electroluminescent device comprising an arylamine hole transport layer and a tris-8-hydroxyquinoline-aluminum layer as an electron transport layer and a light emitting layer (Applied Physics Letters,1987,51 (12): 913-915). Once biased into the device, green light is emitted from the device. The invention lays a foundation for the development of modern Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). Most advanced OLEDs may include multiple layers, such as charge injection and transport layers, charge and exciton blocking layers, and one or more light emitting layers between the cathode and anode. Because OLEDs are self-emitting solid state devices, they offer great potential for display and lighting applications. Furthermore, the inherent properties of organic materials, such as their flexibility, may make them well suited for particular applications, such as in flexible substrate fabrication.

OLEDs can be divided into three different types according to their light emission mechanism. The OLED of the Tang and van Slyke invention is a fluorescent OLED. It uses only singlet light emission. The triplet states generated in the device are wasted through non-radiative decay channels. Thus, the Internal Quantum Efficiency (IQE) of fluorescent OLEDs is only 25%. This limitation prevents commercialization of OLEDs. In 1997, forrest and Thompson reported phosphorescent OLEDs using triplet emission from heavy metals containing complexes as emitters. Thus, both singlet and triplet states can be harvested, achieving a 100% IQE. Because of its high efficiency, the discovery and development of phosphorescent OLEDs has contributed directly to the commercialization of Active Matrix OLEDs (AMOLEDs). Recently, adachi achieved high efficiency by Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) of organic compounds. These emitters have a small singlet-triplet gap, making it possible for excitons to return from the triplet state to the singlet state. In TADF devices, triplet excitons can generate singlet excitons by reverse intersystem crossing, resulting in high IQE.

OLEDs can also be classified into small molecule and polymeric OLEDs depending on the form of the materials used. Small molecule refers to any organic or organometallic material that is not a polymer. The molecular weight of the small molecules can be large as long as they have a precise structure. Dendrimers with a defined structure are considered small molecules. Polymeric OLEDs include conjugated polymers and non-conjugated polymers having pendant luminescent groups. Small molecule OLEDs can become polymeric OLEDs if post-polymerization occurs during fabrication.

Various methods of OLED fabrication exist. Small molecule OLEDs are typically fabricated by vacuum thermal evaporation. Polymeric OLEDs are manufactured by solution processes such as spin coating, inkjet printing and nozzle printing. Small molecule OLEDs can also be fabricated by solution processes if the material can be dissolved or dispersed in a solvent.

The emission color of an OLED can be achieved by the structural design of the luminescent material. The OLED may include a light emitting layer or layers to achieve a desired spectrum. Green, yellow and red OLEDs, phosphorescent materials have been successfully commercialized. Blue phosphorescent devices still have problems of blue unsaturation, short device lifetime, high operating voltage, and the like. Commercial full color OLED displays typically employ a mixing strategy using blue fluorescent and phosphorescent yellow, or red and green. Currently, a rapid decrease in efficiency of phosphorescent OLEDs at high brightness remains a problem. In addition, it is desirable to have a more saturated emission spectrum, higher efficiency and longer device lifetime.

The above-described hierarchical structure is provided by way of non-limiting example. The function of the OLED may be achieved by combining the various layers described above, or some of the layers may be omitted entirely. It may also include other layers not explicitly described. Within each layer, a single material or a mixture of materials may be used to achieve optimal performance. Any functional layer may comprise several sublayers. For example, the light emitting layer may have two layers of different light emitting materials to achieve a desired light emission spectrum.

In one embodiment, an OLED may be described as having an "organic layer" disposed between a cathode and an anode. The organic layer may include one or more layers.

The OLED also requires an encapsulation layer, such as the organic light emitting device 200 shown schematically and without limitation in fig. 2, which differs from fig. 1 in that an encapsulation layer 102 may also be included over the cathode 190 to prevent harmful substances from the environment, such as moisture and oxygen. Any material capable of providing an encapsulation function may be used as the encapsulation layer, such as glass or an organic-inorganic hybrid layer. The encapsulation layer should be placed directly or indirectly outside the OLED device. Multilayer film packages are described in U.S. patent US7,968,146B2, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Devices manufactured according to embodiments of the present invention may be incorporated into a variety of consumer products having one or more electronic component modules (or units) of the device. Some examples of such consumer products include flat panel displays, monitors, medical monitors, televisions, billboards, lights for indoor or outdoor lighting and/or signaling, heads-up displays, displays that are fully or partially transparent, flexible displays, smart phones, tablet computers, tablet phones, wearable devices, smart watches, laptops, digital cameras, camcorders, viewfinders, micro-displays, 3-D displays, vehicle displays, and taillights.

The materials and structures described herein may also be used in other organic electronic devices as listed above.

As used herein, "top" means furthest from the substrate and "bottom" means closest to the substrate. In the case where the first layer is described as being "disposed" on "the second layer, the first layer is disposed farther from the substrate. Unless a first layer is "in contact with" a second layer, other layers may be present between the first and second layers. For example, a cathode may be described as "disposed on" an anode even though various organic layers are present between the cathode and the anode.

As used herein, "solution processable" means capable of being dissolved, dispersed, or transported in and/or deposited from a liquid medium in the form of a solution or suspension.

A ligand may be referred to as "photosensitive" when it is believed that the ligand directly contributes to the photosensitive properties of the emissive material. When it is believed that the ligand does not contribute to the photosensitive properties of the emissive material, the ligand may be referred to as "ancillary," but ancillary ligands may alter the properties of the photosensitive ligand.

It is believed that the Internal Quantum Efficiency (IQE) of fluorescent OLEDs can be limited by spin statistics that delay fluorescence by more than 25%. Delayed fluorescence can be generally classified into two types, i.e., P-type delayed fluorescence and E-type delayed fluorescence. The P-type delayed fluorescence is generated by triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA).

On the other hand, the E-type delayed fluorescence does not depend on the collision of two triplet states, but on the transition between the triplet states and the singlet excited state. Compounds capable of generating E-type delayed fluorescence need to have very small mono-triplet gaps in order for the conversion between the energy states. The thermal energy may activate a transition from the triplet state back to the singlet state. This type of delayed fluorescence is also known as Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF). A significant feature of TADF is that the delay component increases with increasing temperature. The fraction of backfill singlet excited states may reach 75% if the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) rate is fast enough to minimize non-radiative decay from the triplet states. The total singlet fraction may be 100%, well in excess of 25% of the spin statistics of the electrically generated excitons.

The E-delayed fluorescence characteristic can be seen inExcitation complex systems or single compounds. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that E-delayed fluorescence requires a luminescent material with a small mono-triplet energy gap (Δe _S-T ). Organic non-metal containing donor-acceptor luminescent materials may be able to achieve this. The emission of these materials is typically characterized as donor-acceptor Charge Transfer (CT) type emission. The spatial separation of HOMO from LUMO in these donor-acceptor compounds generally results in a small Δe _S-T . These states may include CT states. Typically, donor-acceptor luminescent materials are constructed by linking an electron donor moiety (e.g., an amino or carbazole derivative) to an electron acceptor moiety (e.g., an N-containing six-membered aromatic ring).

Device embodiment

Device example 1

First, a glass substrate having an 80nm thick Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) anode was cleaned, and then treated with oxygen plasma and UV ozone. After the treatment, the substrate was baked in a glove box to remove moisture. The substrate is then mounted on a substrate support and loaded into a vacuum chamber. The organic layer specified below was at a vacuum level of about 10 ^-8 The deposition was performed sequentially on the ITO anode by thermal vacuum deposition at a rate of 0.2 to 2 a/s in the case of a tray. The compound HI is used as a Hole Injection Layer (HIL). The compound HT serves as a Hole Transport Layer (HTL). Compound H1 acts as an Electron Blocking Layer (EBL). Then, the compound GD1 was doped in H-40 and the compound PG-1 of the present invention, and co-evaporation was used as an emitting layer (EML). H2 was used as a Hole Blocking Layer (HBL). On the hole blocking layer, the compound ET and 8-hydroxyquinoline-lithium (Liq) were co-evaporated as an Electron Transport Layer (ETL). Finally, 8-hydroxyquinoline-lithium (Liq) with a thickness of 1nm was evaporated as an electron injection layer, and 120nm of aluminum was evaporated as a cathode. The device was then transferred back to the glove box and packaged with a glass lid to complete the device.

Device example 2

Device example 2 was prepared as in device example 1, except that compound PG-5 was used in place of compound PG-1 in the light emitting layer (EML).

Device comparative example 1

Device comparative example 2

Device comparative example 2 was prepared as in device example 1, except that compound C-2 was used instead of compound PG-1 in the light emitting layer (EML).

The detailed device layer structure and thickness are shown in the following table. Wherein more than one layer of the material used is doped with different compounds in the weight proportions described.

Discussion:

the voltage of example 2 remains substantially equivalent to the device efficiency (EQE, PE and CE) as compared to comparative example 1, but the device lifetime is greatly improved by a factor of 193. The above results indicate that, in the compound having a hexapenta-hexafused ring-bicarbazole skeleton, example 1 in which the 6-position of the hexa-penta-hexafused ring group of the present invention is an aryl substituent can significantly improve the device lifetime as compared with comparative example 1 in which the hexa-penta-hexa-fused ring group is unsubstituted.

The voltage of example 2 was slightly reduced compared to comparative example 2, and the device efficiency (EQE, PE and CE) remained substantially equivalent, but example 2 improved 3.3 times over comparative example 2 in terms of device lifetime. The above results indicate that, in the compound having a hexapenta-hexafused ring-bicarbazole skeleton, example 2 in which the 6-position of the hexapenta-hexafused ring group of the present invention is a phenyl substituent can greatly improve the device lifetime as compared with comparative example 2 in which the hexapenta-hexafused ring group is further fused with a phenyl group.

Meanwhile, examples 1 and 2 have different substituents on the dicarbazole groups of the compounds used, and the data indicate that examples 1 and 2 have equally excellent device efficiency (EQE, PE and CE) and device lifetime.

In summary, in the compound with the hexakis-pentakis-hexafused ring-dicarbazole skeleton, the compound with specific substitution at the specific position of the hexakis-pentakis-hexafused ring group can be used as a main material of a luminescent layer, can improve the balance capacity of electron and hole transmission of the material, remarkably improves the performance of a device, particularly greatly prolongs the service life of the device, and finally improves the comprehensive performance of the device, so that the compound has wider application prospect.
