- the devices should exhibit low turn-on voltages, high luminance, high efficiencies, and desirable colors.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide an OLED structure, which employs an emissive layer comprising at least one electrophosphorescent dopant complex and at least one host material.
- Yet another objective is to provide OLEDs that emit desirable colors by varying concentration of the dopant complex in the emissive layer under different applied voltages. It is concerned with the efficiencies of the selected dopant complexes, which can be used at low concentration levels in OLEDs.
- the invention relates to a heterostructured organic light-emitting device comprising:

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to efficient organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) which comprise a transition metal complex, wherein the transition metal complex, of either geometrical isomers, comprises two bidentate NN-type ligands, or two bidentate NO-type ligands, or a tetradentate NNNN-type ligand, or a tetradentate NOON-type ligand, and a transition metal atom as the electrophosphorescent emitter. The invention also relates to methods for preparing thin film OLEDs and their applications such as in liquid crystal displays, plasma panel displays and light-emitting diodes.
- Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are finding applications as next-generation flat-panel displays (FPDs), liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and plasma display panels (PDPs). This has been driven by their favorable properties including lightweight, fast video response and low power consumption. To this end, organometallic compounds exhibiting electroluminescence are particularly attractive for electrophosphorescent applications, since both the ligand structure and the central metal atom can be varied to modify the properties of the device using these compounds.
- An organic light-emitting device (OLED) is an energy conversion device which emits light when current is applied. A multilayer OLED is generally comprised of hole and electron injection layers, hole- and electron-transporting layers, an emissive layer, metal oxide layer and metal electrodes. The use of organic small molecules and polymers in the emissive layer has attracted much attention due to their potential applications in full-color large-area flat-panel displays. Tang and VanSlyke first disclosed that organic small molecules can be prepared as thin-films by vacuum deposition to form multilayer organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) (see Tang et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 51:913, (1987)).
- Investigations on organic small molecules have been made in order to improve the performance of OLEDs. In general, fluorescent and phosphorescent materials are employed as light emitters in the emissive layer of OLEDs. Light emission from a fluorescent compound occurs as a result of formation of singlet excitons in the emissive layer of the electroluminescent device. U.S. Pat. No. 6,310,360 disclosed that theoretically 25% singlet excitons and 75% triplet excitons are produced after recombination of holes and electrons in the emissive layer of an electroluminescent device. The singlet excitons transfer their energy to the singlet excited state while the triplet excitons transfer their energy to triplet excited state. Most of the organic small molecules exhibit fluorescence; hence, only 25% of the generated excitons are utilized resulting in the device with low external efficiency.
- In contrast to fluorescent compounds, a series of effective phosphorescent iridium complexes with different color emissions has been reported jointly by Thompson et al. at the University of Southern California and Forrest et al. at Princeton University (see U.S. Pat. No. 6,515,298 B2; U.S. patent application Publication No.20020182441 A1; Lamansky et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 123:4304 (2001); and Xie et al., Adv. Mat., 13:1245 (2001)). Che et al. also demonstrated the use of organic metal complexes employing various metal centres such as platinum(II), copper(I), gold(I), and zinc(II) as OLED emitters (see U.S. patent application Publication No. 23205707 A1; U.S. patent application Publication No. 22179885 A1; Y.-Y. Lin et al., Chem. Eur. J., 29:1263 (2003); Lu et al., Chem. Commun., 206 (2002); Ma et al., New J. Chem., 263 (1999); Ma et al., Appl. Phys. Lett., 74:1361 (1999); Ho et al., Chem. Commun., 2101 (1998); and Ma et al., Chem. Commun., 2491 (1998)).
- A variety of light-emitting compounds, especially red emitters, have been investigated as active emitters in a number of device structures. U.S. Pat. No. 6,048,630 disclosed OLEDs based on phosphorescent Pt(OEP) complex (H2OEP=octylethylporphyrin) which emits saturated red electroluminescence. Thompson and Forrest et al. reported a red phosphorescent material (bis(2-(2′-benzo[4,5-a]thienyl)pyridinato-N, C3) iridium (acetylacetonate) [Btp2Ir(acac)]) with high-efficiency (ηext=7.0±0.5%) (see Adachi et al., Appl. Phys. Lett., 78:1622 (2001)). In addition, europium complex employed as red emissive dopant in OLED (Eu(TTA)3phen, TTA=thenoyltrifluoroacetone; phen=1,10-phenanthroline) was also reported to show sharp red electroluminescence (see Adachi et al., J. Appl. Phys., 87:8049, (2000)).
- Efforts in the development of red phosphorescent emitters with high efficiency for OLEDs are geared towards the full-color flat panel display application. Even though remarkable progress has been made, challenges such as optimization of stability and efficiency of OLEDs need to be met before commercialization.

Dopant Complex 1 - Sodium acetate (0.077 g, 0.94 mmol) was suspended in a DMF (10 mL) solution of bidentate ligand, N,N-Bis-( 1H-pyrrol-2-ylmethylene)-ethane-1,2-diamine (0.1 g, 0.47 mmol). K2PtCl4 (0.19 g, 0.47 mmol) dissolved in DMSO (1 mL) was dropwise added to the suspension at 80° C. dropwise. The resulting yellow solution turned orange-red after being stirred at 80° C. for 4 hours. After cooling, distilled water (50 mL) was then added to the orange-red mixture to afford an orange-brown precipitate. The solid product was filtered and washed with H2O (2×10 mL) to give an orange-brown solid, which was then purified by silica gel column chromatography with CH2Cl2 as the eluent. Removal of solvent gave an orange solid. Orange red crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of acetonitrile solution of the orange solid.

The electroluminescent devices were prepared on patterned indium-tin-oxide (ITO) glass with a sheet resistance of 20 Ω/square. The glass was cleaned sequentially in detergent solution, deionized water, ethanol and acetone. After the wet-cleaning process, the ITO glass was dried at 130° C. for 1 h and treated in UV ozone cleaner for 10 mins. In the practice of the present invention of this example, the device configuration is ITO/NPB (40 nm)/CBP:X wt. % dopant complex as illustrated in formulae (I), (II), (III) or (IV) (30 nm)/BCP (20 nm)/Alq3 (30 nm)/LiF (0.5 nm)/Al (150 nm); all of the layers were grown sequentially by thermal deposition at a deposition rate of about 0.2 Å/sec or about 5 Å/sec under a vacuum of 1×10−6 Torr.
- The configuration of OLED in the present invention is schematically shown in
FIG. 4 . The device has multiple layers as shown. In particular,anode layer 410 preferably comprising indium-tin-oxide is deposited uponsubstrate layer 405. The substrate can be glass or other material through which the electroluminescence can traverse. Hole-transportinglayer 415 comprising NPB is placed on top oflayer 410.Emissive layer 420 employing CBP host and dopant complex is in contact with hole-transportinglayer 415. A hole-blocking layer 425 containing BCP is deposited on theemissive layer 420. Adjacent to the hole-blocking layer 425, an electron-transportinglayer 430, preferably Alq3, is placed on it. Acharge injection layer 435 comprising LiF is then deposited on thelayer 430. On top of thelayer 435, acathode layer 440 is fabricated. Preferably, the thickness for NPB is 40 nm (hole-transporting layer 415) and theemissive layer 420 is about 30 nm thick; the hole-blocking layer 425 is 20 nm and electron-transportinglayer 430 is 30 nm. Thecharge transport layer 435 is 0.5 nm thick andcathode layer 440 is preferably about 150 nm thick. The emissive area of device is 3×3 mm2, which is defined by overlapping area between cathode and anode. Although not shown,glass substrate 405 need not be flat in all embodiments of the invention. In one embodiment, theglass substrate 405 is shaped, for instance, in a concave shape to focus the light generated inemissive layer 420, which provides even greater light intensity in a small region. In another embodiment, theglass substrate 405 is shaped, for instance, in a convex shape that spreads the generated light more diffusely. - Example 4 shows a red OLED A employing
