Abstract

The application relates to an electronic device, containing an organic layer that in turn contains a mixture of at least two different compounds.

Description

Electronic device

The present application relates to an electronic device comprising, in that order, an anode and a first

hole transporting layer, a second hole transporting layer, an emitting layer, and a cathode. The first

Hole transporting layer contains a mixture of two

different connections. Electronic devices in the context of this application are understood to be so-called organic electronic devices, which are organic semiconductor materials

Functional materials included. In particular, it is understood to mean OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes, organic electroluminescent devices). These are electronic devices which have one or more layers containing organic compounds and which emit light when an electrical voltage is applied. The structure and the general functional principle of OLEDs are known to the person skilled in the art. A hole-transporting layer is understood to be a layer which is able to transport holes when the electronic device is in operation. In particular, it is a layer which is arranged in an OLED containing an emitting layer between the anode and the said emitting layer.

In the case of electronic devices, especially OLEDs, there is great interest in improving the performance data, in particular

Lifespan, efficiency, operating voltage and color purity. A completely satisfactory solution has not yet been found on these points. Hole transporting layers have a great influence on the above-mentioned performance data of the electronic devices. They can be used as a single hole-transporting layer between the anode and

emitting layer occurrence, or in the form of several

hole-transporting layers, for example 2 or 3

hole-transporting layers, occurrence between anode and emitting layer. In addition to their hole-transporting function, the hole-transporting layers can also have an electron-blocking function, that is to say that they block the passage of electrons from the emitting layer to the anode. This function is particularly desirable in the case of a hole-transporting layer which directly adjoins the emitting layer on the anode side.

Amine compounds, in particular, are primarily amine compounds in the prior art as materials for hole-transporting layers

Triarylamine compounds known. Examples of such

Triarylamine compounds are spirobifluorenamines, fluorenamines,

Indenofluorene amines, phenanthrene amines, carbazole amines, xanthene amines, spiro-dihydroacridine amines, biphenyl amines and combinations of these structural elements with one or more amino groups, this being only a selection and further structural classes known to the person skilled in the art.

Surprisingly, it has now been found that an electronic device containing anode, cathode, emitting layer, a first

hole-transporting layer and a second hole-transporting layer, the first hole-transporting layer containing a mixture of two different compounds, has better performance data than an electronic device according to the prior art, in which the first hole-transporting layer is formed from a single compound. In particular, the service life of such a device is improved compared with the above-mentioned device according to the prior art. The subject of the present application is thus an electronic device containing

A condensed heteroaromatic polycycle exists within the meaning of the present invention

Application of two or more individual aromatic or heteroaromatic cycles condensed with one another, at least one of the aromatic and heteroaromatic cycles being a heteroaromatic cycle.

For the purposes of this invention, a heteroaryl group contains 5 to 40 aromatic ring atoms, at least one of which is a heteroatom. The heteroatoms of the heteroaryl group are preferably selected from N, O and S.

Under an aryl or heteroaryl group, each with the above

For the purposes of this invention, an aromatic ring system is a system which does not necessarily contain only aryl groups, but which can additionally contain one or more non-aromatic rings which are condensed with at least one aryl group. These don't

aromatic rings contain only carbon atoms as

Ring atoms. Examples of groups encompassed by this definition are tetrahydronaphthalene, fluorene and spirobifluorene. The term aromatic ring system also includes systems that consist of two or more aromatic ring systems that are connected to one another via single bonds, for example biphenyl, terphenyl, 7-phenyl-2-fluorenyl, quaterphenyl and 3,5-diphenyl-1-phenyl. An aromatic ring system for the purposes of this invention contains 6 to 40 carbon atoms and no heteroatoms in the ring system. The definition of “aromatic ring system” does not include heteroaryl groups.

A heteroaromatic ring system corresponds to that mentioned above

Definition of an aromatic ring system, with the difference that it must contain at least one heteroatom as a ring atom. As is the case with the aromatic ring system, the heteroaromatic one must

Ring system does not exclusively contain aryl groups and heteroaryl groups, but can also not contain one or more

contain aromatic rings, which with at least one aryl or

Heteroaryl group are condensed. The non-aromatic rings can exclusively contain carbon atoms as ring atoms, or they can additionally contain one or more heteroatoms, the Heteroatoms are preferably selected from N, 0 and S. An example of such a heteroaromatic ring system is benzopyranyl. Furthermore, the term “heteroaromatic ring system” is understood to mean systems which consist of two or more aromatic or heteroaromatic ring systems which are connected to one another via single bonds

such as 4,6-diphenyl-2-triazinyl. One

heteroaromatic ring system for the purposes of this invention contains 5 to 40 ring atoms selected from carbon and heteroatoms, at least one of the ring atoms being a heteroatom. The heteroatoms of the heteroaromatic ring system are preferably selected from N, O and S.

The terms “heteroaromatic ring system” and “aromatic

Ring system ”as defined in the present application

thus differ from one another in that an aromatic ring system cannot have a heteroatom as a ring atom, while a heteroaromatic ring system must have at least one heteroatom as a ring atom. This hetero atom can be a ring atom of a non-aromatic heterocyclic ring or a ring atom of a

aromatic heterocyclic ring.

According to the above definitions, each aryl group is encompassed by the term “aromatic ring system”, and each heteroaryl group is encompassed by the term “heteroaromatic ring system”.

Ring atoms or a heteroaromatic ring system with 5 to 40 aromatic ring atoms are understood in particular as groups derived from the groups mentioned above under aryl groups and heteroaryl groups and from biphenyl, terphenyl, quaterphenyl, fluorene, spirobifluorene, dihydrophenanthrene, dihydropyrene, tetrahydropyrene, Indenofluoren, Truxen, Isotruxen, Spirotruxen, Spiroisotruxen,

The formulation that two or more radicals can form a ring with one another is to be understood in the context of the present application, inter alia, to mean that the two radicals are linked to one another by a chemical bond. Furthermore, the abovementioned formulation should also be understood to mean that in the event that one of the two radicals represents hydrogen, the second radical binds to the position to which the hydrogen atom was bound to form a ring.

Examples 1) General manufacturing process for the OLEDs and characterization of the OLEDs

Glass plates coated with structured ITO (indium tin oxide) with a thickness of 50 nm form the substrates on which the OLEDs are applied.

The OLEDs basically have the following layer structure: substrate / hole injection layer (HIL) / hole transport layer (HTL) /

Electron Blocking Layer (EBL) / Emission Layer (EML) /

Electron transport layer (ETL) / electron injection layer (EIL) and finally a cathode. The cathode is formed by a 100 nm thick aluminum layer. The exact structure of the OLEDs can be found in Table 1.

All materials are thermally vapor deposited in a vacuum chamber. In the present examples, the emission layer consists of a matrix material (host material, host material) and an emitting dopant (dopant, emitter), which is mixed with the matrix material in a certain volume fraction by co-vaporization. A specification like SMB1: SEB1 (3%) means that the material SMB1 is present in a volume fraction of 97% and the material SEB1 in a volume fraction of 3% in the layer. The also exist analogously

Electron transport layer and, in the examples according to the application, also the HTL made of a mixture of two materials, the proportions of the materials being specified as mentioned above.

The chemical structures of the materials used in the OLEDs are shown in Table 2.

The OLEDs are characterized as standard. The electroluminescence spectra, the operating voltage and the service life are used for this certainly. The specification U @ 10 mA / cm ² indicates the operating voltage at 10 mA / cm ² . The service life LT is defined as the time after which the luminance, when operated with a constant current density, decreases

Starting luminance drops to a certain percentage. An indication of LT80 means that the specified service life corresponds to the time after which the luminance has dropped to 80% of its initial value. The specification @ 60 mA / cm ² means that the relevant service life is measured at 60 mA / cm ² . 2) OLEDs with a mixture of two different materials in the HTL and comparative examples with a single material in the HTL

In each case, OLEDs are produced that contain a mixture of two different materials in the HTL, and comparative OLEDs that contain a single material in the HTL, see the following table:

When comparing the OLEDs E1 and E2 with the OLED V1, which has the

Has pure material HTM1 in the HTL, the addition of the material HTM2 (E1) or HTM4 (E2) shows a significant improvement in the service life, with largely unchanged operating voltage.

When comparing the OLEDs E3, E4 and E5 with the OLED V2, which has the pure material HTM1 in the HTL, the addition of the material HTM2 (E3) or HTM4 (E4) or HTM8 (E5) shows a clear improvement in the Lifespan, with largely unchanged

Operating voltage.

The same applies to the comparison of E6, E7 and E8 with V3, and the comparison of E9, E10 and E11 with V4.

The four test series differ in the different material in the EBL (HTM2, HTM4, HTM8 or HTM9). This shows that the effect the improvement in service life occurs in a wide range of applications with different materials in the EBL.

3) Determination of the HOMO of the compounds that are used in the mixed HTL The on page 28, line 1 to page 29, line 21 of the published patent application
