Description

Coating composition, organic light emitting device including the same, and method of manufacturing the same
Technical Field
The present application claims priority and rights of korean patent application nos. 10-2022-0006600 and 10-2022-0006603 filed in the korean intellectual property office on 1 month 17 of 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a coating composition, an organic light emitting device including the same, and a method for manufacturing the same.
Background
The organic light emitting phenomenon is one of examples of converting current into visible rays through an internal process of a specific organic molecule. The principle of the organic light emitting phenomenon is as follows. When an organic material layer is disposed between an anode and a cathode and a current is applied between the two electrodes, electrons and holes are injected into the organic material layer from the cathode and the anode, respectively. Electrons and holes injected into the organic material layer are recombined to form excitons, and the excitons fall to a ground state again to emit light. An organic light emitting device utilizing this principle may generally be composed of a cathode, an anode, and organic material layers (e.g., a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron injection layer, and an electron transport layer) disposed therebetween.
In order to manufacture an organic light emitting device in the related art, a deposition method is generally used. However, there are problems in that loss of material often occurs when an organic light emitting device is manufactured by a deposition method and it is difficult to manufacture a device having a large area, and in order to solve these problems, a device using a solution method has been developed.
Therefore, there is a need to develop materials for use in solution processes.

[ chemical formula 1]
[ chemical formula 2]
In the chemical formula 1 and the chemical formula 2,
r1 and R2 are each unsubstituted or deuterium-substituted naphthyl,
r3 is a substituted or unsubstituted naphthyl,
r4 is- (L) a -R41,

In the present invention, the compounds represented by chemical formulas 1 and 2 are structurally different from each other.
When the organic material layer is formed using the coating composition according to the present invention including the compounds represented by chemical formulas 1 and 2 having different structures, the heat treatment temperature of the heat treatment step may be adjusted according to the process. In particular, when forming an organic material layer using a single host material or a coating composition including a single host material, the heat treatment temperature needs to be suitable only for the single host material, and when the temperature is outside a range of suitable heat treatment temperatures, for example, heat treatment is performed at a temperature higher than the corresponding heat treatment temperature, there is a disadvantage in that the host material or the organic material layer is crystallized. Therefore, there is a disadvantage in that the heat treatment temperature of the heat treatment step cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the process.

Further, when an organic material layer or an organic light emitting device is manufactured using the coating composition including the compounds represented by chemical formulas 1 and 2 according to the present invention, the ratio of the parts by weight of the compounds represented by chemical formulas 1 and 2 may be flexibly adjusted. Therefore, when an organic material layer or an organic light emitting device is manufactured using a coating composition including the compound represented by chemical formulas 1 and 2, there are advantages in that: by adjusting the proportion of the compound contained in the organic material layer or the organic light emitting device, film characteristics can be improved, the maximum absorption wavelength can be optionally adjusted, brightness can be improved, and the like, and the heat treatment temperature required in the process can be optionally adjusted as described above.
Further, when the organic material layer is formed using the coating composition according to the present invention including two host materials having different structures, improvement in driving voltage, efficiency, and/or lifetime characteristics as device characteristics can be expected.

In the present invention, the term "deuterated" is intended to mean that at least one hydrogen ("H") has been replaced by deuterium ("D"). In deuterated compounds, deuterium is present at a natural abundance level of at least 100 times. In some exemplary embodiments, the compound is deuterated by at least 10%. The term "% deuterated" or "% deuterated" means the ratio of deuterium relative to the sum of protons+deuterium, and is expressed as a percentage.
In the present invention, deuterated materials may be prepared in a similar manner using deuterated precursor materials or more generally by treating non-deuterated materials with a deuterated solvent (e.g., benzene-D6) in the presence of a lewis acid H/D exchange catalyst (e.g., trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, aluminum trichloride, or ethylaluminum dichloride).
In the present invention, "deuteration rate" or "deuteration substitution rate" may be determined by a known method such as nuclear magnetic resonance (IH NMR), thin layer chromatography/mass spectrometry (TLC/MS), or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
As described above, when deuterium is substituted at a hydrogen position, the chemical properties of the compound are hardly changed. However, since deuterium has twice the atomic weight of hydrogen, the physical properties of deuterated compounds change. For example, deuterated compounds have a lower vibrational level, and a decrease in vibrational level can prevent a decrease in intermolecular van der Waals forces and a decrease in quantum efficiency due to collisions caused by intermolecular vibrations. Thus, devices comprising deuterated compounds have improved efficiency and lifetime.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the compound represented by chemical formula 1 and the compound represented by chemical formula 2 are each included in a weight ratio of 15:85 to 85:15.

As a specific example, the compound represented by chemical formula 1 and the compound represented by chemical formula 2 are each contained at a weight ratio of 15:85 to 35:65 or 65:35 to 85:15.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the coating composition includes a larger amount of the compound represented by chemical formula 1 than the amount of the compound represented by chemical formula 2.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the coating composition includes a larger amount of the compound represented by chemical formula 2 than the amount of the compound represented by chemical formula 1.
The device including the compound represented by chemical formula 1 and the compound represented by chemical formula 2 at the above content has a long lifetime effect. In contrast, when the weight ratio is outside the above range, the service life of the organic light emitting device is shortened.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the maximum emission peaks of the emission color of the compound represented by chemical formula 1 or the compound represented by chemical formula 2 are each 380nm to 500nm.
According to a preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the maximum emission peaks of the emission colors of the compound represented by chemical formula 1 and the compound represented by chemical formula 2 are each 380nm to 500nm.

As a specific example, the fluorescence intensity and maximum emission peak can be measured at room temperature (about 300K) by: the material to be measured (the compound, the coating composition, a part of the organic material layer and/or a part of the device, etc.) is dissolved using toluene as a solvent to prepare a sample for fluorescence measurement, the sample solution is placed in a quartz cell, and then a fluorescence measurement device is used. However, the measuring device and the measuring conditions for measuring the maximum emission peak can be appropriately changed by those skilled in the art.
In the present invention, a peak refers to a point in the graph where the sign of the slope changes.
In the present invention, the height of a peak refers to a value obtained by subtracting the current value of the baseline from the current value of the corresponding peak in the cyclic voltammogram.

In terms of solubility, since the coating composition according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention is used when forming a single or multiple organic material layers of an organic light emitting device by a solution method, ink stability and the like are important factors.

In contrast, when the solubility of the compound represented by chemical formula 1 and the compound represented by chemical formula 2 with respect to the solvent is less than 70% each, the solution becomes cloudy, so that the compound cannot be used for manufacturing an organic light emitting device for a solution method, or long-term stability is significantly deteriorated even if the compound is used.
In the present invention, the solubility may be measured at 10℃to 30 ℃. According to a preferred exemplary embodiment, the solubility may be measured at 15 ℃ to 26 ℃.

In the present invention, the energy level means the magnitude of energy. Therefore, even when the energy level is expressed in the negative (-) direction of the vacuum level, it is interpreted that the energy level means the absolute value of the corresponding energy value.

TABLE 1
As shown in table 1, it can be determined that in examples 2-1 and 2-2 in which the organic material layer was formed using the coating composition according to the present invention including two host materials different from each other, the driving voltage was reduced and the efficiency and the service life characteristics were improved, as compared with comparative examples 2-1 to 2-6.
Specifically, it can be confirmed that in examples 2-1 and 2-2, by using the coating composition including two blue host materials different from each other substituted with deuterium to form an organic material layer, the driving voltage is reduced and the efficiency and the service life characteristics are improved, as compared with the case of using the coating composition including two blue host materials different from each other not substituted with deuterium (comparative examples 2-1 and 2-2).
Further, it was confirmed that in comparative examples 2-3 to 2-6, the organic material layer was formed using the coating composition containing no two blue host materials different from each other but a single blue host material, resulting in deterioration of driving voltage, efficiency, and/or service life characteristics. In particular, in comparative examples 2-3 and 2-5, the organic material layer was formed using the coating composition containing only the compound E or the compound E-1, but it could be confirmed that the organic layer crystallized, and thus, the device characteristics were deteriorated so much that the voltage, efficiency, and service life characteristics could not be measured. Further, in comparative examples 2-4 and 2-6, the organic material layer was formed using the coating composition containing only the compound D or the compound D-1, but it was confirmed that there was a disadvantage that: the driving voltage increases and the efficiency decreases, and in particular, the service life characteristics are greatly deteriorated.
