Description

[DESCRIPTION] [Invention Title]

ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT COMPOUNDS WITH HIGH EFFICIENCY AND DISPLAY DEVICE USING THE SAME [Technical Field]

<i> Thepresent invention relates to novel organic electroluminescent compounds, a preparing method thereof and a display device using the same. [Background Art]

<2> The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) which is one of flat panel displays, is auto-luminescent, so that it has an excellent sight angle and contrast, compared with LCD, and it does not require a back- light and can be prepared with simplified processes. As a result, a light thin display device can be produced with less electric energy power, and thus researches have been focused on it. The properties of OLED panel depend on the characteristics of an organic electroluminescent compound. Therefore, studies have been actively going on luminescent materials.

<3> Luminescent materials are divided largely into two groups according to their functions; host materials and dopant materials. To produce a display device with the structure appropriate for upgraded EL property, a host material is doped with a dopant material to generate a luminescent layer. It is an urgent request to develop an organic EL display device with high efficiency and long lifetime, in particular it is strongly requested to develop anexcellent host material with improved properties compared with the conventional light-emitting materials, considering EL needed for medium/large sized OLED panels. So, one of the most important tasks is definitely to develop an excellent host material.

<4> It is preferable for a host material which acts as an energy and/or a solid solvent carrier to have high purity and a required molecular weight for vacuum deposition. In addition, it is also required for a host material to have high glass transition temperature and pyrolysis temperature to secure thermo-stability, and at the same time to have high electro-chemical stability for long lifetime. In order to generate an amorphous thin layer, a host material has to have a good adhesive power with other layers and materials nearby but has to avoid migration through layers.

<5> Many of host materials have been reported so far and the most representative host materials are exemplified by diphenylvinyl-biphenyl (DPVBi) by Idemitsu-Kosan Co. Ltd. and dinaphthyl-anthracene (DNA) by Kodak Co. However, these materials still need to be improved in their efficiency, lifetime, and color purity, etc.

<6> DPVBi DNA

<7> As an attempt to develop a host material with high efficiency and long lifetime, di-pyrenylfluorene (DPF) and bis-phenylanthracene-spirofluorene (BPA-SP) having the following structure have been introduced, but they cannot meet our expectation for luminous efficiency, lifetime and color purity.

<8> DPF BPA-SP <9> For example , in the case of DPF presented by Cannon Inc . (Sai toh, A. et . al . Digest of tech. papers-SID 2004, 35 , 686 ; US Patent No . US 2005236977), it exhibits excellent EL property (0.15, 0.14) and external quantum efficiency of 3.9% under the optimum doping condition, which is still not satisfactory for commercialization though. In the meantime, BPA-SP (Shen, W. -J. et . al. Chemistry of Materials, 2004, 16, 930; US Patent No. US 2002122900) exhibits the luminous efficiency of 2.67 cd/A and comparatively excellent color coordinate (0.15, 0.11), which is still not satisfactory for commercialization, either.

-6 degree of vacuum of the chamber reached 10 torr, and then electric current was applied to evaporate 2-TNATA. As a result, a 60 nm thick hole injection layer was plated on ITO substrate.

A compound of the present invention (ex : compound 301) was loaded in one cell of the vacuum plating apparatus and the dopant luminous material having the following structure was loaded in another cell of the apparatus. Plating speed was set at 100:1 to form a 35 nm thick luminescent layer on the above hole transport layer.

<240> 301 perylene <241> <242> Then, tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)-aluminum(III)(Alq) in 20 nm thickness having the following structure was plated as an electron transport layer and then lithium quinolate (Liq) in 1 2 nm thickness was plated as an electron injection layer. AL cathode in 150 nm thickness was also plated using another vacuum plating apparatusto produce OLED.

<244> <245> Each material used for the preparation of OLED device was purified by

-6 vacuum sublimation under 10 torr and then used as luminous materials for OLED.

<246> <247> Comparative Example 1: Preparation of OLED device using the conventional luminous materials

<248> A hole injection layer and a hole transport layer were formed by the same manner as described in Example 1. Then, blue luminous material dinaphthylanthracene(DNA) was loaded in one cell of the vacuum plating apparatus and another blue luminousmaterial perylene having the following structure was loaded in the other cell. Plating speed was set at 100:1 to form a 35 run thick luminescent layer on the said hole transport layer.

<249>

<250> An electron transport layerand an electron injection layer were formed by the same manner as described in Example 1, and Al cathode in 150 nm thickness was plated by using another vacuum plating apparatus to produce OLED.

<253> Example 2: Luminescent characteristics of OLED device of the invention <254> Luminescent efficiency of each device respectively containing the organic electroluminescent compound of the present invention prepared in Example 1 and the conventional light-emitting compound prepared in Comparative Example 1 was measured at 500 cd/rn² and 2,000 cd/m^!and the results are shown in Table 1. Considering the importance of luminescent characteristics of particularly the blue luminous material in low-brightness area and panel, the brightness data at 2,000 cd/irf was determined as standard. <255> [Table 1]

<256>

<257>

<258> As shown in Table l,the OLED device of Comparative Example 1 containing DNA^perylene, known as the conventional luminous material was compared with the OLED device using the organic electroluminescent compound of the present invention in luminescent efficiency/Y value, which was nearly consistent with quantum efficiency. As a result, the OLED device using the organic electroluminescent compound of the present invention exhibited higher luminescent efficiency/Y value.

<259> Therefore, the organic electroluminescent compound of the present invention can be used as a blue luminous material with high efficiency and comparatively greater advantages in brightness and power consumption than the conventional full colored OLED. [Industrial Applicability]

<260> The organic electroluminescent compound of the present invention has high luminescent efficiency and long lifetime, so that it can be useful for the production of OLED device with excellent working lifetime. The organic electroluminescent compound of the present invention also is characterized by upgraded excellent EL property when it is used as other layers as well as luminescent layer.
