Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a composition comprising a compound of formula (H1) and a compound of formula (H2).
  • the present invention furthermore relates to a formulation comprising a composition comprising a compound of formula (H1) and a formula (H2) and a solvent.
  • the present invention relates to an electronic device comprising such a composition.
  • the development of functional compounds for use in electronic devices is currently the subject of intensive research.
  • the aim is, in particular, the development of compounds with which improved properties of electronic devices in one or more relevant points can be achieved, such as, for example, power efficiency and lifetime of the device as well as colour coordinates of the emitted light.
  • the term electronic device is taken to mean, inter alia, organic integrated circuits (OICs), organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs), organic light- emitting transistors (OLETs), organic solar cells (OSCs), organic optical detectors, organic photoreceptors, organic field-quench devices (OFQDs), organic light-emitting electrochemical cells (OLECs), organic laser diodes (O-lasers) and organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs).

  • OLETs organic thin-film transistors
  • OLETs organic light- emitting transistors
  • OSCs organic solar cells
  • OFQDs organic field-quench devices
  • OLEDs organic light-emitting electrochemical cells
  • O-lasers organic laser diodes
  • OEDs organic electroluminescent devices
  • OLEDs Of particular interest is the provision of compounds for use in the last- mentioned electronic devices called OLEDs.
  • the general structure and the functional principle of OLEDs are known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in US 4539507.
  • the emitter compound is generally employed in the emitting layer in combination with a second compound, which serves as matrix compound or host compound.
  • An emitter compound here is taken to mean a compound which emits light during operation of the electronic device.
  • a host compound in this case is taken to mean a compound which is present in the mixture in a greater proportion than the emitter compound.
  • the term matrix compound and the term host compound can be used synonymously.
  • the host compound preferably does not emit light.
  • the emitter compound is typically the component present in smaller amount, i.e. in a smaller proportion than the other compounds present in the mixture of the emitting layer.
  • the emitter compound is also referred to as dopant.
  • Hosts compounds for fluorescent emitters that are known from the prior art are a multiplicity of compounds.
  • the emitting layer may comprise one host compounds or more.
  • Host compounds comprising phenanthrene groups have been disclosed in the prior art (for example in WO 2009/100925).
  • Host compounds comprising dibenzofuran and anthracene groups have also been disclosed in the prior art (for example in KR 10-2017-0096860 and CN 109867646).
  • an OLED may comprise different layers, which may be applied either by vapour deposition in a vacuum chamber or by processing from a solution.
  • the processes based on vapour deposition lead to very good results, but they might be complex and expensive. Therefore, there is also a need for compositions comprising OLED materials that can be easily and reliably processed from a solution. More particularly, there is a need for compositions comprising OLED materials that can be deposited as homogeneous films during the fabrication of OLEDs when processed from a formulation, more particularly from a solution like an ink.
  • the materials should have good solubility properties in the solution that comprises them and the deposited films comprising OLED materials should be as smooth as possible after the drying step leading to the removing of the solvent.
  • the deposited layer form a smooth and homogenous film as layer thickness inhomogeneities cause uneven luminance distributions with areas of thinner film thickness showing increased luminance and thicker areas with reduced luminance, which leads to a decrease of the OLED ' s quality.
  • the OLEDs comprising the films processed form a solution should exhibit good performances, for example in terms of lifetime, operating voltage and efficiency.
  • the present invention is thus based on the technical object of providing compositions comprising OLED materials, which are suitable for use in electronic devices, such as OLEDs, more particularly as a matrix component for fluorescent emitters.
  • the present invention is also based on the technical object of providing compositions comprising OLED materials, which are particularly suitable for solution processing.

Furthermore, the example PE1 also shows a reduced R p-v and RMS compared to PR1 , while leading to much better OLEDs as shown below (see Table 5f, Reference 9 and Example 10).
  • the devices like shown in Figure 4b are prepared as described in part a).
  • the host materials are shown in Table 3 and the emitters in Table 4.
  • the blue EML ink is mixed as shown in Tables 5a-j.
  • Tables 5a-j also summarize the relative external quantum efficiencies (rel. EQE) at 1000 cd/m 2 and the relative device lifetimes (rel. LT90) at 1000 cd/m 2 for the respective examples.
  • the OLEDs are characterized by standard methods. For this purpose, the electroluminescence spectra, current/voltage/luminous density characteristic curves (IUL characteristic curves) assuming Lambert emission characteristics and the (operating) lifetime are determined.
  • the IUL characteristic curves are used to determine characteristic figures of merit such as external quantum efficiency (in %) at a certain luminance.
  • the device is driven with constant voltages, at each step of an applied voltage ramp.
  • the device lifetime is measured under a given current with an initial luminance.
  • the luminance is then measured over time by a calibrated photodiode.
  • Table 5a Blue EML mixtures to use for device examples with 1% E1
  • Table 5e Blue EML mixtures to use for device examples with 5%
  • Table 5f Blue EML mixtures to use for device examples with 1% E3
  • Table 5j Blue EML mixtures to use for device examples with 5% E4
  • Table 5k Blue EML mixtures to use for device examples with 1% E3
  • Table 5I Blue EML mixtures to use for device examples with 5% E2
  • Examples 11 to 13 according to the invention show an improved device performance in terms of efficiency and lifetime.
  • Reference 12 which shows highly inhomogeneous films, the films comprising a mixed host according to the invention are very homogeneous while showing similar device performances.
