Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a hole transporting compound for organic electroluminescent devices, and to a method for producing the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a hole transporting compound with a good thermal stability having 6,6′-bis(9H,9-carbazolyl)-N,N′-disubstituted-3,3′-bicarbazyl as a basic molecular structure, and to a method for its production.
- 2. Description of Background Art
- Electronic technology has improved human life since silicon was first used as a semiconductor material. The fast growth of photocommunications and multimedia in particular has accelerated the formation of a highly information-oriented society. Consequently, optoelectronic devices (OEDs) based on the conversion of photons into electrons or vice versa are very important elements in the electronic information industry nowadays. Semiconductive optoelectronic devices can be classified as electroluminescent devices, light-receiving type devices and combined devices.
- Most display means are of the light-receiving type, whereas an electroluminescent display (ELD) is a self-luminescent type device. Since the ELD has the advantages of fast responsiveness, obviation of backlight, excellent luminance, as well as wide viewing angle, ELDs have been studied for many applications including natural color display devices. These electroluminescent devices have been developed and practically used in inorganic semiconductors which employ GaN, ZnS and SiC as display devices.
- However, an EL device prepared from an inorganic material needs more than 220V for the driving voltage. Furthermore since the preparation of the EL device is carried out by means of a vacuum deposition, a large size device cannot be prepared and the cost of preparation is very high. Thus, not only EL devices using inorganic materials, but also EL devices using organic materials have been developed. Pope et al. disclosed electroluminescence of organic materials in 1963. In 1987, Tang et al. of the Eastmann Kodak company presented a green-emitting device, namely a multi-layer electroluminescent device with 1000 cd/m2 of luminance, and 1% of quantum efficiency at less than 10V, which was prepared by using a pigment with a Π-conjugated structure, called “tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum: Alq3”. Thereafter, research on EL devices using organic materials has been actively pursued.
- In particular, low-molecular-weight organic materials for ELDs have advantages such as simple synthetic methods and flexibility of molecular structure via appropriate molecular design. Displays using low-molecular-weight organic *materials have been developed in sizes up to 10 inches for fall color displays of the passive matrix type and 3 inches for full color displays of the active matrix type using thin film transistors.
- However, the major problems with OEDs are light-emitting efficiency and lifetime. Improved lifetimes of 20,000 hours in blue (Indemitsu), 50,000 hours in green (Eastman Kodak), and 20,000 hours in red (Eastman Kodak) respectively, have been achieved, but the light-emitting efficiency of red and blue requires further improvement. Therefore, there are still some problems remaining before applications in fall color display are beneficial.
- Furthermore, it is impossible to achieve a high efficiency and luminance without using a multilayer system which consists of a buffer layer, a hole transporting layer, an electron transporting layer and a hole blocking layer for light-emitting efficiency. In order to achieve high efficiency and luminance in a device, it is necessary for each functional layer to have thermal or electrical stability. In particular, the hole transporting layer material requires thermal and electrical stability because the stability critically affects the lifetime of the device. That is, the molecules with low thermal stability are believed to have low morphological stability, which brings about morphological changes in the organic layers used in the device when voltage is applied. Furthermore, the change may initiate partial crystallization to decrease the light-emitting efficiency, resulting in a reduction in the lifetime of the device.
- The glass transition temperature of the TPD [N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine] or NPB [N,N′-bis(naphthalene-1-yl)-N,N′-diphenylbenzidine, NPD] frequently used these days are 60° C. and 96° C. respectively, which are not high temperatures. The vacuum deposition layer of the hole transporting layer, which forms a uniform amorphous film, becomes crystallized or aggregated due to the loss of film uniformity, which results in a reduction in the lifetime of the device. It is necessary for the hole transporting layer to have a Tg of more than 100° C. and an operating or storage temperature of 85° C. in order to use the device outdoors or in vehicles. Thus it is important to further improve the thermal stability and high glass transition temperature of hole transporting materials.
- Accordingly, the present inventors have developed a hole transporting compound with good thermal stability and high glass transition temperature having 6,6′-bis(9H,9-carbazolyl)-N,N′-disubstituted-3,3′-bicarbazyl as a basic molecular structure, and methods for producing the same, in order to overcome these problems.

Holes can be more readily injected into light-emission layer than electrons and transport about 20 times as fast as electrons. Accordingly, the major charge carrier in the devices generally are holes.
- In general, the emission mechanism in an organic electroluminescent device is as follows. Holes are injected from an anode, and electrons from a cathode. The injected holes and electrons recombine with each other in the emission layer to create singlet exitons. These singlet exitons decay radiatively to release light corresponding to the band-gap energy. At this time, the light-emission efficiency is determined. That is, when the amount of injected holes and electrons are balanced with each other, the light-emission efficiency is at a maximum.
- Therefore, it is necessary to balance the mobility and density of holes and electrons to have the same transportation of the carriers. However, holes transport more readily than electrons, which results in an imbalance between the carriers and a consequent decrease in efficiency. Accordingly, a multilayer device with an electron transport layer which has good electron mobility is required to compensate for these shortcomings.
- A hole transporting compound of the present invention for organic electroluminescent devices with good thermal stability includes 6,6′-bis(9H,9-carbazolyl)-N,N′-disubstituted-3,3′-bicarbazyl as a basic molecular structure. The hole transporting compound of the present invention is represented by the following formula (I):
- wherein R is a hydrogen atom, a C1-12 aliphatic alkyl group, a C3-12 branched alkyl group, a C5-12 cyclic alkyl group, or a C4-14 aromatic group, more particularly a C6-14 group, wherein the aromatic group can have one or more alkoxy or amine substituents.
- The disubstituted carbazolyl group of the 6,6′ site in the dicarbazyl structure provide a hole transporting compound with not only good thermal stability but also good morphological stability. The twisted aromatic ring induces steric hindrance, resulting in an amorphous bulk structure. The hole transporting compound of the present invention increases the lifetime of the device due to its high thermal stability
- Methods of preparing the hole transporting compounds of the present invention include the following steps:
-
- by dissolving an N-substituted carbazole with chloroform, followed by addition of an iron chloride/chloroform suspension;
-

- All EL devices were fabricated by using a hole transporting compound prepared according to example 1. The structure of an exemplary fabricated
EL device 10 is illustrated in FIG. 8, and included the following elements: aglass substrate 12, an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) layer (anode) 14, abuffer layer 16, a hole transporting layer (HTL) 18, an emitting layer (EML) 20, an electron transporting layer (ETL) 22, a hole blocking layer (HBL) 24, and acathode 26 formed, for example, of Al, Al:Li, Mg:Ag or Ca. - The electroluminescent devices were constructed in the following manner:
- a) An indium-tin-oxide coated glass substrate was cleaned and then patterned with a target form by using a photoresist resin and an etchant
- b) The substrate was sequentially ultrasonicated in acetone and IPA (isopropyl alcohol) for 20 minutes respectively and treated with boiling IPA, followed by UV-ozone cleaning for 15 minutes.
- c) A buffer layer of CuPc (1 Å/sec) was then deposited on top of the ITO coated substrate to a thickness of about 20 um, followed by a hole transporting layer according to the present invention (50 nm, 1 Å/sec), an emitting layer of Alq3 (70 nm, 1 Å/sec) or Alq3 (30 nm) doped with 1.5% of coumarin 6 (0.015 Å/sec) (the latter preferably being further coated with an electron transporting layer of Alq3 (40 nm)), an electron transporting layer and hole blocking layer of LiF (1 nm, 0.1 Å/sec) and a cathode of Al (200 nm, 10 Å/sec), and then encapsulated with metal under a dry N2 atmosphere.
- d) The pressure was maintained less than 1×10−6 torr. The layer thicknesses and the film growth rate of vapor deposition were controlled by using a crystal sensor. The luminescent area was 4 mm2. The direct current of forward bias voltage was used for the driving voltage.
- The voltage and the luminance were determined by scanning at
10B 100 mA/cm2 in constant current using Keithley SMU238 and BM7. The device with a structure of ITO/CuPc (20 nm)/BCDC (50 nm)/Alq3 (70 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (200 nm) had a luminance of 3500 cd/m2 at a voltage of 11.32 V in 100 mA/cm2. When the device structure was C6-doped ITO/CuPc (20 nm)/BCDC (50 nm)/Alq3+1.5%C6 (30 nm)/Alq3 (40 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (200 nm), the luminance was 10,290 cd/m2 at a voltage of 12.47 V in 100 mA/cm2. - (1) Optical Property
- The hole transporting compound formed in Example 1 was mixed with PMMA in the ratio of 1:10 (weight %), and then spin-coated on quartz to form a polymer thin-film layer, followed by measurement of UV absorption peaks and the photoluminescence spectrum (PL spectrum). The results are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, respectively. The UV absorption peaks of BCDC were 238, 293, 306 and 340 nm, and the PL spectrum at 320 nm of excitation wavelength had a maximum PL peak at 415 nm.
- (2) Thermal Property
- The thermal property of the foregoing hole transporting compound according to the present invention was measured by TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) and DSC(differential scanning calorimetry) at the rate of 10° C./min under an N2 atmosphere. The results are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. In the case of BCDC, 5% of weight loss was observed near 500° C., about 50 weight % remained near 600° C. The glass transition temperature (Tg) was determined to be about 200° C. by DSC. Accordingly, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the hole transporting compound of the present invention is much higher than that of TPD [N,N′-bis(3-methyl-phenyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-(1,1′-biphenyl )-4,4′-diamine] or NPB of the prior art (Tg of 60° C. and 96° C. respectively).
- (3) Electroluminescent Property
- The electroluminescent property of the exemplary EL device of the present invention was measured by comparing ITO/CuPc (20 nm)/BCDC (50 um) /Alq3 (70 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (200 um) as a standard device with ITO/CuPc (20 nm)/NPB (50 nm)/Alq3 (70 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (200 nm) as a comparative device. A coumarin 6 (C6) doped device was used to increase the emitting efficiency and had the following structure: ITO/CuPc (20 nm)/BCDC (50 nm)/Alq3+1.5% C6 (30 nm)/Alq3 (40 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (200 nm), and the comparative device was ITO/CuPc (20 nm)/NPB (50 nm)/Alq3+1.5% C6 (30 nm)/Alq3 (40 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (200 nm).
- FIG. 8 is a cross-section of an electroluminescent device prepared using a hole transporting compound in accordance with the present invention. The luminescence arose from Alq3 and
coumarin 6. The exciplex between thehole transporting layer 18 and the emittinglayer 20 was not observed. All active areas showed an even source of light, and the rectification property was good. - FIG. 9 is a plot including current density-luminance curves for electroluminescent devices prepared in accordance with the present invention. FIG. 10 is a plot including current density-emitting efficiency curves (cd/A).
- Comparing L-I efficiency, in the case of low current density, the efficiency of a device using BCDC (4.0 cd/A) as a hole transporting layer was higher than that of a device using NPB (3.9 cd/A). On the other hand, in high current density, the efficiency of the device using BCDC (3.5 cd/A) was lower than that of a device using NPB (4.1 cd/A).
- A similar phenomenon was observed in the device systems doped with
coumarin 6. That is, in low current density, the L-I efficiency of a device using BCDC (11.3 cd/A) as a hole transporting layer was higher than that of a device using NPB (11.0 cd/A). On the other hand, in high current density, the efficiency of a device using BCDC (10.3 cd/A) was somewhat lower than that of a device using NPB (11.1 cd/A). Meanwhile, a lifetime test showed that the device using BCDC as a hole transporting layer showed better durability and repeatability than the device using NPB, due to the enhanced thermal stability of BCDC used as a hole transporting layer.
