  • An electroluminescent (EL) device is a self-light-emitting device which has advantages over other types of display devices in that it provides a wider viewing angle, a greater contrast ratio, and has a faster response time.
  • An organic EL device was first developed by Eastman Kodak, by using small molecules which are aromatic diamines, and aluminum complexes as a material for forming a light-emitting layer [Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, 1987].
  • Iridium(III) complexes have been widely known as phosphorescent materials, including bis(2-(2’-benzothienyl)-pyridinato-N,C3’)iridium(acetylacetonate) ((acac)Ir(btp) 2 ), tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium (Ir(ppy) 3 ) and bis(4,6-difluorophenylpyridinato-N,C2)picolinate iridium (Firpic) as red, green and blue materials, respectively.

Description

NOVEL ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT COMPOUNDS AND ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICE USING THE SAME
The present invention relates to novel organic electroluminescent compounds and an organic electroluminescent device using the same.
An electroluminescent (EL) device is a self-light-emitting device which has advantages over other types of display devices in that it provides a wider viewing angle, a greater contrast ratio, and has a faster response time. An organic EL device was first developed by Eastman Kodak, by using small molecules which are aromatic diamines, and aluminum complexes as a material for forming a light-emitting layer [Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, 1987].
The most important factor to determine luminous efficiency in an organic EL device is a light-emitting material. Until now, fluorescent materials have been widely used as a light-emitting material. However, in view of electroluminescent mechanisms, phosphorescent materials theoretically show four (4) times higher luminous efficiency than fluorescent materials. Thus, recently, phosphorescent materials have been investigated. Iridium(III) complexes have been widely known as phosphorescent materials, including bis(2-(2’-benzothienyl)-pyridinato-N,C3’)iridium(acetylacetonate) ((acac)Ir(btp)2), tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium (Ir(ppy)3) and bis(4,6-difluorophenylpyridinato-N,C2)picolinate iridium (Firpic) as red, green and blue materials, respectively. Especially, a lot of phosphorescent materials are being researched in Japan, Europe and U.S.A recently.
Figure PCTKR2012007008-appb-I000001
At present, 4,4’-N,N’-dicarbazol-biphenyl (CBP) is the most widely known host material for phosphorescent substances. Further, an organic EL device having high efficiency using bathocuproine (BCP) and aluminum(III)bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinate)(4-phenylphenolate) (BAlq) for a hole blocking layer is known, and Pioneer (Japan) et al. developed a high performance organic EL device employing a derivative of BAlq as a host material.
Figure PCTKR2012007008-appb-I000002
Though these phosphorous host materials provide good light-emitting characteristics, they have the following disadvantages: (1) Due to their low glass transition temperature and poor thermal stability, their degradation may occur during a high-temperature deposition process in a vacuum. (2) The power efficiency of an organic EL device is given by [(π/voltage) × current efficiency], and the power efficiency is inversely proportional to the voltage, and thus the power efficiency should be high in order to reduce power consumption. Although an organic EL device comprising phosphorescent materials provides higher current efficiency (cd/A) than one comprising fluorescent materials, when the conventional materials such as BAlq or CBP are used as phosphorescent host materials, a significantly high driving voltage is necessary compared to an organic EL device using a fluorescent material. Thus, there is no merit in terms of power efficiency (lm/W). (3) Further, the operation lifetime of an organic EL device is short and luminous efficiency is still required to be improved.
International Patent Publication No. WO 2006/049013 discloses compounds for organic electroluminescent materials having a condensed bicyclic group as a backbone structure. However, it does not disclose a compound having a nitrogen-containing condensed bicyclic group together with a carbazole group which is fused with an aromatic ring-fused heterocycloalkyl or cycloalkyl group.
The objective of the present invention is to provide an organic electroluminescent compound which has an excellent structure imparting high luminous efficiency and a long operation lifetime to a device, and having proper color coordination; and an organic electroluminescent device having high efficiency and a long lifetime, using said compounds.
The present inventors found that the above objective can be achieved by an organic electroluminescent compound represented by the following formula 1:

Then, the ITO substrate was mounted on a substrate holder of a vacuum vapor depositing apparatus. N1N1’-([1,1’-biphenyl]-4,4’-diyl)bis(N1-(naphthalen-1-yl)-N4,N4-diphenylbenzene-1,4-diamine) was introduced into a cell of said vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and then the pressure in the chamber of said apparatus was controlled to 10-6 torr. Thereafter, an electric current was applied to the cell to evaporate the above introduced material, thereby forming a hole injection layer having a thickness of 60 nm on the ITO substrate. Then, N,N’-di(4-biphenyl)-N,N’-di(4-biphenyl)-4,4’-diaminobiphenyl was introduced into another cell of said vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and was evaporated by applying electric current to the cell, thereby forming a hole transport layer having a thickness of 20 nm on the hole injection layer. Thereafter, compound C-18 was introduced into one cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, as a host material, and compound D-7 was introduced into another cell as a dopant. The two materials were evaporated at different rates and were deposited in a doping amount of 4 wt% of dopant with respect to the total amount of the host material and the dopant to form a light-emitting layer having a thickness of 30 nm on the hole transport layer. Then, 2-(4-(9,10-di(naphthalene-2-yl)anthracen-2-yl)phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole was introduced into one cell and lithium quinolate was introduced into another cell. The two materials were evaporated at the same rates and were deposited in a doping amount of 50 wt% for each material to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of 30 nm on the light-emitting layer. Then, after depositing lithium quinolate as an electron injection layer having a thickness of 1 to 2 nm on the electron transport layer, an Al cathode having a thickness of 150 nm was deposited by another vacuum vapor deposition apparatus on the electron injection layer. Thus, an OLED device was produced.
The produced OLED device showed red emission having a luminance of 3,400 cd/m2 and a current density of 44.7 mA/cm2 at a driving voltage of 5.6 V.
Comparative Example 1: Production of an OLED device using conventional
electroluminescent material
An OLED device was produced in the same manner as that of Device Example 1, except that a light-emitting layer was deposited on the hole transport layer by using 4,4’-N,N’-dicarbazol-biphenyl (CBP) as a host material and compound D-11 as a dopant and that a hole blocking layer having a thickness of 10 nm was deposited between the light-emitting layer and a electron transport layer by using aluminum(III) bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinato)-4-phenylphenolate.
The produced OLED device showed red emission having a luminance of 1,000 cd/m2 and a current density of 20.0 mA/cm2 at a driving voltage of 8.2 V.
