- the theoretical basis of the present invention is ‘Förster energy transfer’.
- This energy transfer means a long-distance excitation energy transfer between a donor and a receptor when the distance therebetween is several times larger than the sum of the van der Waals's radius.
- the rate of energy transfer (kT) by the dipole-dipole interaction between a pair of an isolated donor and a receptor was expressed by Forster as the following formula with a parameter that can be experimentally obtained [T. Forster, Discuss. Faraday Soc. 7, p27 (1959)].
- ⁇ 2n designates the relative direction in a transition dipole space between the donor and the acceptor.
- ⁇ d designates a quantum efficiency of the donor under the condition that there is no acceptor.
- n designates a refractive index of the medium between the donor and the acceptor.
- N is Avogadro's number, and “R” is the distance between the centers of the donor and the acceptor.
- ⁇ d designates an intrinsic lifetime of the donor under the condition that there is no acceptor.
- F D ( ⁇ ) designates the normalized spectrum 15 distribution of donor emission
- ⁇ A ( ⁇ ) is the extinction coefficient per mole (1 mol ⁇ 1 cm ⁇ 1 ) of the acceptor which is expressed as a function of wavelenth ⁇ . Efficient energy transfer can occur only when the emission spectrum of the donor and the absorption spectrum of the acceptor overlap with each other (FIG. 1).
- the present invention lays emphasis on increasing the distances (R) among two or more dopants. As the distances are increased, energy transfer hardly occurs among the dopants, and thus the energy transfer occurs only between the host and the respective dopants. In the above case, a desired color is obtained by just considering energy transfer between the host and the respective dopants, and there is no affection by the energy transfer among the dopants even when the respective dopants are mixed together in a host material. Therefore, by coordinating the colors obtained through energy transfer between a host and each dopant, the white-light-emission spectrum can be designed.
- a ternary blend system composed of A, B and C will be, for instance, described.
- A is the largest bandgap material
- B is the second large
- C is the smallest
- A polymer
- B and C polymer or low-molecular weight organic material
- the absorption spectra of B and C overlap with the photoluminescence spectrum of A.
- many routes of energy transfer such as A ⁇ B ⁇ C, A ⁇ B, A ⁇ C, or B ⁇ C, may exist, and thus it is not easy to control the energy transfer to occur only between the host and the dopants. Therefore, in the conventional method of trial and error, it is very difficult to determine the composition of white-light-emitting blend material and much harder to control energy transfer for obtaining a desired color from a blend with four or more components.

- the feature of the present invention is to restrain the energy transfer between the dopants B and C by lightly incorporating B and C in a small amount of 0.1 wt % or below. Since the amounts of the dopants B and C are very small, a distance R between the two dopants becomes larger, and accordingly, energy transfer between the dopants can hardly occur. Therefore, the respective dopant components receive the energy transfer only from the host. Therefore, in the above case, the energy transfer of A ⁇ B and A C is to be considered. By such light-doping method, efficient control of the energy transfer mechanism in polymer blends of 3 or more components can be achieved.
- the amount of a dopant varies depending on the substance used, preferably 0.1 wt % or below. For some substances used for dopants, incorporation of extremely small amount just over 0 or about 10 ⁇ 5 wt % of the blend can achieve the object of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 shows how the emission spectrum of the binary blend of A and B is changed by the energy transfer with increasing concentration of the dopant B. Since A is a liquid crystalline light-emitting substance and B is also a similar fluorene-based substance, the blend of A and B in which B is added in a very small amount also has a liquid crystalline property. Therefore, the factor of ⁇ 2 for the blend of A and B is larger than that of the polymer blend having random dipole directions, and accordingly, energy transfer can efficiently occur.
- B when B is added in a very low concentration, such as about 0.014 wt %, the emissions of A and B almost equally contribute to the overall spectrum of the binary blend. Accordingly, the composition ratio at which A and B show comparable luminescent intensities can be determined.
- FIG. 4 shows the spectral change of the binary blend of A and C with increasing concentration of the dopant C. Also, it can be proved that practically equal luminescence is emitted from A and C when C is added to A in a very low concentration, such as 0.06 wt %.
- the above method can be also used for the polymer blends of 4 or more components to obtain white-light-emission.
- the fourth component employed is alumina quinone (Alq3) which emits green light with the peak wavelength of 500 nm.
- Alq3 alumina quinone
- the optimum amount of Alq3 in the blend was determined to be 0.04 wt %.
- 0.04 wt % of Alq3 is added to the blend of A, B and C mixed in the above determined amounts, white-light-emission can be also obtained.
- the amount of dopants added in white-light-emitting blend materials depends on the characteristics of each substance used, but it is clear that each dopant is added in a very small amount such as 0.1 wt % or lower. This is one feature of the present invention distinguished from other methods which attempt to achieve white-light-emission by using polymer as the host.

Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to organic materials for white-light-emitting and an organic electroluminescent device including a light-emitting layer made of the materials. The organic/polymer white-emitting devices are easy to form a film from a solution by spin casting and emit light under electric field. Thus, the device fabricated by using the materials can be applied to the back light of liquid crystal displays, lighting devices, or color flat panel displays.
- 2. Description of the Background Art
- A white electroluminescent device using low molecular weight materials or polymer materials has been fabricated by mainly two methods. First, there is a method of manufacturing a multilayered device composed of a number of materials which emit lights of R, G and B colors, as carried out by Kido et al. [J. Kido, M. Kimura, K. Nagai, Science, 267, p1332 (1995)], Xie et al. [Z. Y Xie, Y Liu, J. S. Huang, Y Wang, C. N. Li, S. Y Liu, J. C. Chen, Synth. Met. 106, p71 (1999)], Ogura et al. [T. Ogura, T. Yamashita, M. Yoshida, K. Emoto, S. Nakajima, U.S. Pat. No. 5,283,132], and Deshpande et al. [R. S. Deshpande, V. Bulovic, S. R. Forrest, Appl. Phys. Lett. 75, p888 (1999)]. In this method, it is difficult to form a multi-layered thin film and a white-emission can be obtained by trial and error to determine the thickness of each layer. In addition, disadvantageously the emission color may change depending on the applied voltage.
- The other method is doping or blending organic luminescence colorant in luminescent host substances, as carried out by Granström et al. [M. Granstrom, O. Inganäs, Appl. Phys. Lett. 68, p147. (1996)], Kido et al. [J. Kido, H. Shionoya, K. Nagai, Appl. Phys. Lett. 67, 2281 (1995)], Shi et al. [J. Shi, C. W. Tang, U.S. Pat. No. 5,683,823], and Chen et al. [S.-A. Chen, E.-C. Chang, K.-R. Chuang, U.S. Pat. No. 6,127,693]. Although the process in this method is simpler than the first method, a white-emission can be obtained by repeating trial and errors without a governing principle. Particularly, when blending or doping components have excellent miscibility between them, due to energy transfer from high-bandgap components to low-bandgap components, the spectrum of the host material may be largely varied depending on blending or doping level. Thus, it is difficult to predict the final emission spectrum. Particularly, when three or more components are blended to prepare a white-light-emitting material, it is more difficult to control energy transfer between the components. Successful white-light-emission depends on how energy transfer between the components to be blended is efficiently controlled.
- Therefore, an object of the present invention is to efficiently control energy transfer among blending or doping components including the main component (host) by restraining energy transfer among the accessory components (guests), and thereby to provide organic white-light-emitting materials with excellent stability and light-emitting efficiency.
- Also, another object of the present invention is to provide an electroluminescent device fabricated using such organic white-light-emitting materials.
- The foregoing and other objects, features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

- Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
- The present invention uses one luminescent host material having the highest bandgap energy and 2 or more kinds of luminescent dopants (that is, three or more kinds of components) to provide a new standard for white-light-emission by efficiently controlling the energy transfer among luminescent dopants.
- In the present invention, energy transfer among dopants in blend materials containing various dopants is controlled so as to transfer energy only from the host material to respective dopants. To control the energy transfer, the inventors have developed a light-doping method where the dopants are lightly embedded in the host material in amount of 0.1 wt % and below of the total weight.
- The organic white-light-emitting materials of the present invention may be used as substances for the luminescent layer of electroluminescent devices. Moreover, using the luminescent layer made of the materials, a highly efficient white-light-emitting device with a wide range of emission spectrum from Blue to Red may be fabricated.
- Luminescent polymer which can be used for white-light-emitting blend materials in the present invention can be selected from the groups consisting of light-emitting conjugate polymers including polyfluorene and its derivatives, poly(p-phenylenevinylene) and its derivatives, polythiophene and its derivatives, poly(p-phenylene) and its derivatives, polyquinoline and its derivatives, polypyrrole and its derivatives, and polyacetylene and its derivatives; light-emitting non-conjugate polymers including poly(9-vinylcarbarzole) and its derivative, etc.; and organic light-emitting low-molecular materials including metal chelate complexes of ligand structure, rubrene, anthracene, perylene,
coumarin 6, Nile red, aromatic diamine, TPD(N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis-(3-methylphenyl)-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine), TAZ (3-(4-biphenyl)-4-phenyl-(4-tert-butylphenyl) 1,2,4-triazole), DCM (dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)4H-pyran) and derivatives of all of the above materials. - The theoretical basis of the present invention is ‘Förster energy transfer’. This energy transfer means a long-distance excitation energy transfer between a donor and a receptor when the distance therebetween is several times larger than the sum of the van der Waals's radius. The rate of energy transfer (kT) by the dipole-dipole interaction between a pair of an isolated donor and a receptor was expressed by Forster as the following formula with a parameter that can be experimentally obtained [T. Forster, Discuss. Faraday Soc. 7, p27 (1959)].
- Here, “κ2n” designates the relative direction in a transition dipole space between the donor and the acceptor. “φd” designates a quantum efficiency of the donor under the condition that there is no acceptor. “n” designates a refractive index of the medium between the donor and the acceptor. “N” is Avogadro's number, and “R” is the distance between the centers of the donor and the acceptor. “τd” designates an intrinsic lifetime of the donor under the condition that there is no acceptor. “FD(ν)” designates the normalized spectrum 15 distribution of donor emission, and “εA(ν)” is the extinction coefficient per mole (1 mol−1cm−1) of the acceptor which is expressed as a function of wavelenth ν. Efficient energy transfer can occur only when the emission spectrum of the donor and the absorption spectrum of the acceptor overlap with each other (FIG. 1).
- The present invention lays emphasis on increasing the distances (R) among two or more dopants. As the distances are increased, energy transfer hardly occurs among the dopants, and thus the energy transfer occurs only between the host and the respective dopants. In the above case, a desired color is obtained by just considering energy transfer between the host and the respective dopants, and there is no affection by the energy transfer among the dopants even when the respective dopants are mixed together in a host material. Therefore, by coordinating the colors obtained through energy transfer between a host and each dopant, the white-light-emission spectrum can be designed.
- A ternary blend system composed of A, B and C will be, for instance, described. When A is the largest bandgap material, B is the second large, and C is the smallest, A (polymer) is used as the host (energy donor), and B and C (polymer or low-molecular weight organic material) can receive energy from the donor A. That is, the absorption spectra of B and C overlap with the photoluminescence spectrum of A. Since the photoluminescence spectrum of B and the absorption spectrum of C overlap with each other, many routes of energy transfer, such as A→B→C, A→B, A→C, or B→C, may exist, and thus it is not easy to control the energy transfer to occur only between the host and the dopants. Therefore, in the conventional method of trial and error, it is very difficult to determine the composition of white-light-emitting blend material and much harder to control energy transfer for obtaining a desired color from a blend with four or more components.
- A typical case of the ternary system is shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 2 shows the absorption and photoluminescence spectra of poly(2,7-bis(p-stiryl)-9,9′-di-n-hexylfluorene sebacate) (PBSDHFS) (Reference: Y C. Kim, T.-W. Lee, O O. Park, C. Y Kim, H. N. Cho, Advanced Materials, 13, p646 (2001)), poly(9,9′-di-n-hexyl fluorenediylvinylene-alt-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (PDH FPPV) (Reference: Y. C. Kim, T.-W. Lee, O O. Park, C. Y. Kim, H. N. Cho, Advanced Materials, 13,p646(2001)), and 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM).
- Judging from the absorption and emission bands of these materials, PBSDHFS corresponds to the substance A, PDHFPPV corresponds to the substance B, and DCM corresponds to the substance C. In the above drawing, “a” designates the absorption spectrum of PBSDHFS, “b” designates the absorption spectrum of PDHFPPV, “c” designates the photoluminescence spectrum of PBSDHFS, “d” designates the absorption spectrum of DCM, “e” designates the photoluminescence spectrum of PDHFPPV, and “f” designates the photoluminescence spectrum of DCM.
- The feature of the present invention is to restrain the energy transfer between the dopants B and C by lightly incorporating B and C in a small amount of 0.1 wt % or below. Since the amounts of the dopants B and C are very small, a distance R between the two dopants becomes larger, and accordingly, energy transfer between the dopants can hardly occur. Therefore, the respective dopant components receive the energy transfer only from the host. Therefore, in the above case, the energy transfer of A→B and A C is to be considered. By such light-doping method, efficient control of the energy transfer mechanism in polymer blends of 3 or more components can be achieved.
- The amount of a dopant varies depending on the substance used, preferably 0.1 wt % or below. For some substances used for dopants, incorporation of extremely small amount just over 0 or about 10−5 wt % of the blend can achieve the object of the present invention.
- With the three materials mentioned above, the present invention will be described in more detail. FIG. 3 shows how the emission spectrum of the binary blend of A and B is changed by the energy transfer with increasing concentration of the dopant B. Since A is a liquid crystalline light-emitting substance and B is also a similar fluorene-based substance, the blend of A and B in which B is added in a very small amount also has a liquid crystalline property. Therefore, the factor of κ2 for the blend of A and B is larger than that of the polymer blend having random dipole directions, and accordingly, energy transfer can efficiently occur. In FIG. 3, when B is added in a very low concentration, such as about 0.014 wt %, the emissions of A and B almost equally contribute to the overall spectrum of the binary blend. Accordingly, the composition ratio at which A and B show comparable luminescent intensities can be determined.
- FIG. 4 shows the spectral change of the binary blend of A and C with increasing concentration of the dopant C. Also, it can be proved that practically equal luminescence is emitted from A and C when C is added to A in a very low concentration, such as 0.06 wt %.
- Therefore, when 0.014 wt % of B and 0.06 wt % of C are added to A, as shown in the ternary blend of FIG. 4, the substances A, B, and C contribute almost equally to the photoluminescence spectrum of the ternary blend in luminescent intensity but at different wavelength regions, thus the blend show white-light-emission.
- The above method can be also used for the polymer blends of 4 or more components to obtain white-light-emission. The fourth component employed is alumina quinone (Alq3) which emits green light with the peak wavelength of 500 nm. By analyzing the spectral change of the A/Alq3 binary blend with varying composition of Alq3, the optimum amount of Alq3 in the blend was determined to be 0.04 wt %. Finally, when 0.04 wt % of Alq3 is added to the blend of A, B and C mixed in the above determined amounts, white-light-emission can be also obtained.
- The amount of dopants added in white-light-emitting blend materials, which can be determined by the above method, depends on the characteristics of each substance used, but it is clear that each dopant is added in a very small amount such as 0.1 wt % or lower. This is one feature of the present invention distinguished from other methods which attempt to achieve white-light-emission by using polymer as the host.
- In summary, the present invention provides an easy and convenient method for obtaining white-light-emission by efficiently blocking energy transfer among dopants in the multi-component, electroluminescent blend comprising polymer as the host. Wherein, as the method for controlling such energy transfer, the light-doping method is used.
- The present invention provides an organic and/or polymer white-electroluminescent device containing a luminescent layer which is formed from the blend materials. As shown in FIG. 5, in the electroluminescent device containing the organic white-light-emitting materials in accordance with the present invention, an organic white-light-emitting layer (4) which is spin-cast from the blend solution of the present invention is formed on a transparent substrate(1) such as a glass plate and the like on which a translucent electrode(2) is formed. A metal cathode(6) is formed on the luminescent layer. In order to improve the light-emitting efficiency, a hole transporting layer(3) may be placed between the translucent electrode(2) and the white-light-emitting layer(4) or an electron transporting layer(5) between the white-light-emitting layer(4) and the metal cathode(6).
- As the transparent substrate, glass, quartz, or PET(polyethylene terephtalate) film which is a transparent plastic material is used, and as the translucent electrode, ITO(indium tine oxide), PEDOT(polyethylene dioxythiophene), or polyaniline can be used. The cathode metal may be selected from the group consisting of aluminum, magnesium, lithium, calcium, copper, silver, gold, and an alloy of the above materials.
- It is desirable that the hole transporting layer is made of poly(9-vinylcarbazol) or polymer derivatives containing 4,4′-dicarbazolyl-1,1′-biphenyl (CBP), TPD(N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis-(3-methylphenyl)-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine), or NPB(4,4′-bis[N-(1-naphthyl-1-)-N-phenyl-amino]-biphenyl) moiety; low-molecular derivatives containing triarylamine or pyrazoline moiety; or organic molecules containing hole transporting moiety. The electron transporting layer is desirable to be made of TPBI [2,2′,2′-(1,3,5-phenylene)-tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole)], poly(phenyl quinoxaline), 1,3,5-tris[(6,7-dimethyl-3phenyl)quinoxaline-2-yl]benzene(Me-TPQ), polyquinoline, tris(8-hydroxy quinoline) aluminum(Alq3), [6-N,N-diethylamino-1-methyl-3-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo(3,4-b) quinoline](PAQ-NEt2), or organic molecules containing electron transporting moiety.
- The light-emitting efficiency of the electroluminescent device is indicated as external quantum efficiency, which is expressed by the percentage (%) of the emitted photons to the injected electrons.
- Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with the following examples. These examples are given only to illustrate the present invention, not to limit the scope of it.

PDHFPPV which is also a fluorene-based light-emitting substance and DCM which is a low molecular weight dye substance were used as the dopants. Upon changing the concentration of PDHFPPV in PBSDHFS, the photoluminescence intensity contribution of each component in the binary blend became almost similar at the PDHFPPV concentration of 0.014 wt %. Also, when DCM was used in PBSDHFS as the dopant, the photoluminescence intensity contribution of each component in the binary blend was similar at the DCM concentration of 0.06 wt %. Finally, white photoluminescence of the 1932 CIE color coordinate (0.29, 0.32) was obtained by doping PBSDHFS with 0.014 wt % of PDHFPPV and 0.06 wt % of DCM to fabricate a film and performing optical excitation with 370 nm monochromatic light.

Upon changing the concentration of CPDHFPV in PBSDHFS, the photoluminescence intensity contribution of each component in the binary blend became almost similar at the CPDHFPV concentration of 0.015 wt %. Also, when DCM was used in PBSDHFS as the dopant, the photoluminescence intensity contribution of each component in the binary blend was similar at the DCM concentration of 0.06 wt %.
