Description

Compound as phosphorescent emitter in organic electroluminescent device and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of emitter compounds, in particular to a compound serving as a phosphorescence emitter in an organic electroluminescent device and application thereof.
Background
Organic electroluminescence (OLED for short) and related studies were first discovered by pope et al in 1963 as early as the electroluminescence phenomenon of single crystal anthracene, an organic compound. In 1987, kodak corporation in U.S. made an amorphous film device by evaporating small organic molecules, and the driving voltage was reduced to within 20V. The device has the advantages of ultra-thin, full-cured, self-luminous, high brightness, wide viewing angle, high response speed, low driving voltage, low power consumption, bright color, high contrast, simple process, good temperature characteristics, soft display realization and the like, and can be widely applied to flat panel displays and surface light sources, so that the device is widely researched, developed and used.
Organic electroluminescence is largely classified into fluorescence and phosphorescence, but according to spin quantum statistics theory, the probability of singlet excitons and triplet excitons is 1:3, i.e., the theoretical limit of fluorescence from singlet exciton radiative transitions is 25% and the theoretical limit of fluorescence from triplet exciton radiative transitions is 75%. How to use the energy of 75% of triplet excitons becomes urgent. The fact that the phosphorescence electroluminescence phenomenon breaks through the limit of 25% efficiency of the quantum efficiency of the organic electroluminescence material in 1997 is found by Forrest and the like, and the wide attention of people on the metal complex phosphorescence material is brought.
It is believed that the ligand directly contributes to the photosensitive properties of the phosphorescent material, and that the ligand may be referred to as "photosensitive". When the ligand does not contribute to the photosensitive properties of the luminescent material, the ligand may be referred to as "ancillary", but the ancillary ligand may alter the properties of the photosensitive ligand.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide a ligand capable of improving the quantum efficiency of a phosphorescent material while reducing the sublimation temperature, adjusting the arrangement of the phosphorescent material thin film, and improving the lifetime of the device.

Functional OLEDs may be implemented by combining the various layers described in different ways based on design, performance, and cost factors, or several layers may be omitted entirely. Other layers not specifically described may also be included. Materials other than those specifically described may be used. Although many of the examples provided herein describe the various layers as comprising a single material, it will be understood that combinations of materials may be used, such as mixtures of host and dopant, or more generally, mixtures. Also, the layers may have various sublayers. The names given to the various layers herein are not intended to be strictly limiting. For example, in device 200, hole transport layer 225 transports holes and injects holes into light emitting layer 220, and may be described as a hole transport layer or a hole injection layer. In one embodiment, an OLED may be described as having an organic layer disposed between a cathode and an anode. This organic layer may comprise a single layer or may further comprise multiple layers of different organic materials as described in fig. 1 and 2.
Structures and materials not specifically described, such as PLEDs comprising polymeric materials, may also be used. As another example, an OLED with a single organic layer or multiple stacks may be used. The OLED structure may deviate from the simple layered structure illustrated in fig. 1 and 2. For example, the substrate may include an angled reflective surface to improve optical coupling.
Any of the layers of the various embodiments may be deposited by any suitable method unless otherwise specified. For organic layers, preferred methods include thermal evaporation, organic vapor deposition methods, or application of one or more layers by means of carrier gas sublimation, wherein at 10 -5 The material is applied at a pressure between mbar and 1 bar. A particular example of such a process is organic vapor sprayingPrinting methods in which the material is applied directly through a nozzle and is thus structured. Other suitable deposition methods include producing one or more layers, for example, by spin coating, or by means of any desired printing method, such as screen printing, flexography, lithography, photoinitiated thermal imaging, thermal transfer, inkjet printing, or nozzle printing. Soluble compounds, for example, are obtained by appropriate substitution. These methods are also particularly suitable for oligomers, dendrimers and polymers. Furthermore, a hybrid method is possible, in which one or more layers are applied, for example from a solution, and one or more further layers are applied by vapor deposition.
Devices fabricated according to embodiments of the present invention may further optionally include a barrier layer. One purpose of the barrier layer is to protect the electrodes and organic layers from damage due to exposure to harmful substances in the environment, including moisture, vapors and/or gases, etc. The barrier layer may be deposited on the substrate, electrode, under the substrate, electrode, or beside the substrate, electrode, or on any other portion of the device, including the edges. The barrier layer may comprise a single layer or multiple layers. The barrier layer may be formed by a variety of known chemical vapor deposition techniques and may comprise a composition having a single phase as well as a composition having multiple phases. Any suitable material or combination of materials may be used for the barrier layer. The barrier layer may incorporate inorganic or organic compounds or both. Preferably, the barrier layer comprises a mixture of polymeric and non-polymeric materials. To be considered a mixture, the aforementioned polymeric and non-polymeric materials that make up the barrier layer should be deposited under the same conditions and/or at the same time. The weight ratio of polymeric material to non-polymeric material may be in the range of 95/5 to 5/95. In one example, the mixture of polymeric and non-polymeric materials consists essentially of polymeric silicon and inorganic silicon.
In any of the above mentioned compounds used in each layer of the above mentioned OLED device, the hydrogen atoms may be partially or fully deuterated. Thus, any of the specifically listed substituents, such as (but not limited to) methyl, phenyl, pyridyl, and the like, can be in their non-deuterated, partially deuterated, and fully deuterated forms. Similarly, substituent classes (e.g., without limitation, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, heteroaryl, etc.) can also be in their non-deuterated, partially deuterated, and fully deuterated forms.
The materials and structures described herein may be applied in devices other than OLEDs. For example, other optoelectronic devices such as organic solar cells and organic photodetectors may use the materials and structures. Further, such materials and structures may be used for organic devices such as organic transistors.
