Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel organic electroluminescent compounds and an organic electroluminescent device containing the same.
  • An electroluminescent (EL) device is a self-light-emitting device which has advantages in that it provides a wider viewing angle, a greater contrast ratio, and a faster response time.
  • An organic EL device was first developed by Eastman Kodak, by using small aromatic diamine molecules, and aluminum complexes as materials to form a light-emitting layer [Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, 1987].
  • the most important factor determining luminous efficiency in the organic EL device is light-emitting materials.
  • fluorescent materials have been widely used as the light-emitting material.
  • phosphorescent materials theoretically enhance luminous efficiency by four (4) times compared to fluorescent materials, development of phosphorescent light-emitting materials are widely being researched.
  • 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-emitting materials, respectively.
  • the light-emitting material can be used as a combination of a host material and a dopant to improve color purity, luminous efficiency, and stability.
  • the host materials greatly influence the efficiency and performance of the EL device when using a host material/dopant system as the light emitting material, and thus their selection is important.
  • 4,4’-N,N’-dicarbazol-biphenyl (CBP) is the most widely known host material for phosphorescent materials.
  • phosphorescent 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 the organic EL device is given by [( ⁇ /voltage) ⁇ current efficiency], and the power efficiency is inversely proportional to the voltage. Although the organic EL device comprising phosphorescent host materials provides higher current efficiency (cd/A) than one comprising fluorescent materials, a significantly high driving voltage is necessary. Thus, there is no merit in terms of power efficiency (lm/W). (3) Furthermore, the operational lifespan of the organic EL device is short, and luminous efficiency is still required in order to be improved.

  • the organic EL device using these materials is problematic in quantum efficiency and operational lifespan. It is because, when the organic EL device is driven under high current, thermal stress occurs between an anode and a hole injection layer. Thermal stress significantly reduces the operational lifespan of the device. Furthermore, since the organic material used in the hole injection layer has very high hole mobility, the hole-electron charge balance may be broken and quantum yield (cd/

Description

NOVEL ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT COMPOUNDS AND ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICE CONTAINING THE SAME
The present invention relates to novel organic electroluminescent compounds and an organic electroluminescent device containing the same.
An electroluminescent (EL) device is a self-light-emitting device which has advantages in that it provides a wider viewing angle, a greater contrast ratio, and a faster response time. An organic EL device was first developed by Eastman Kodak, by using small aromatic diamine molecules, and aluminum complexes as materials to form a light-emitting layer [Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, 1987].
The most important factor determining luminous efficiency in the organic EL device is light-emitting materials. Until now, fluorescent materials have been widely used as the light-emitting material. However, in view of electroluminescent mechanisms, since phosphorescent materials theoretically enhance luminous efficiency by four (4) times compared to fluorescent materials, development of phosphorescent light-emitting materials are widely being researched. 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-emitting materials, respectively.
The light-emitting material can be used as a combination of a host material and a dopant to improve color purity, luminous efficiency, and stability. The host materials greatly influence the efficiency and performance of the EL device when using a host material/dopant system as the light emitting material, and thus their selection is important. At present, 4,4’-N,N’-dicarbazol-biphenyl (CBP) is the most widely known host material for phosphorescent materials. Recently, Pioneer (Japan) et al., developed a high performance organic EL device using bathocuproine (BCP) and aluminum(III)bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinate)(4-phenylphenolate) (BAlq) etc., as host materials, which were known as hole blocking materials.
Although these phosphorescent 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 the organic EL device is given by [(π/voltage) × current efficiency], and the power efficiency is inversely proportional to the voltage. Although the organic EL device comprising phosphorescent host materials provides higher current efficiency (cd/A) than one comprising fluorescent materials, a significantly high driving voltage is necessary. Thus, there is no merit in terms of power efficiency (lm/W). (3) Furthermore, the operational lifespan of the organic EL device is short, and luminous efficiency is still required in order to be improved.
Meanwhile, copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), 4,4'-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (NPB), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine (TPD), 4,4',4"-tris(3-methylphenylphenylamino)triphenylamine (MTDATA), etc., were used as a hole injection and transport material. However, the organic EL device using these materials is problematic in quantum efficiency and operational lifespan. It is because, when the organic EL device is driven under high current, thermal stress occurs between an anode and a hole injection layer. Thermal stress significantly reduces the operational lifespan of the device. Furthermore, since the organic material used in the hole injection layer has very high hole mobility, the hole-electron charge balance may be broken and quantum yield (cd/A) may decrease.
Korean Patent Application Laying-Open No. 20110129766 discloses compounds for an organic EL device, in which aryl or heteroaryl moiety is bonded to a carbon atom of a polycyclic compound having carbazole moiety fused with heteroaryl moiety such as benzofuran and benzothiophene. However, the above reference fails to specifically disclose compounds in which nitrogen-containing heteroaryl moiety, nitrogen-connected heteroaryl moiety (containing or not-containing nitrogen) or nitrogen-connected aryl moiety is bonded to a nitrogen atom of a carbazole moiety of a polycyclic backbone.
The objective of the present invention is to provide an organic electroluminescent compound, which has higher luminous efficiency and a longer lifespan than the conventional materials, and an organic electroluminescent device, which has high efficiency and a long lifespan, using said compounds.
The present inventors found that the above objective can be achieved by a compound represented by the following formula 1:

Device Example 1: an OLED device using the compound of the present invention
An OLED device was produced using the material according to the present invention. A transparent electrode indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film (15 Ω/sq) on a glass substrate for an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device (Samsung Corning, Republic of Korea) was subjected to an ultrasonic washing with trichloroethylene, acetone, ethanol and distilled water, sequentially, and then was stored in isopropanol. Then, the ITO substrate was mounted on a substrate holder of a vacuum vapor depositing apparatus. N1,N1'-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl)bis(N1-(naphthalen-1-yl)-N4,N4-diphenylbenzen-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, organic electroluminescent compound C-2 was introduced into another cell of said vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and was evaporated by applying an electric current to the cell, thereby forming a hole transport layer having a thickness of 20 nm on the hole injection layer. Thereafter, 5-(4-([1,1’:4’,1”-terphenyl]-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl)-5H-benzo[4,5]thieno[3,2-c]carbazole was introduced into one cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, as a host material, and compound D-1 was introduced into another cell as a dopant. The two materials were evaporated at different rates and were deposited in a doping amount of 15 wt% based on the total amount of the host and dopant to form a light-emitting layer having a thickness of 30 nm on the hole transport layer. Then, 2-(4-(9,10-di(naphthalen-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 rate and were deposited in a doping amount of 50 wt% each 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 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. All the materials used for producing the OLED device were purified by vacuum sublimation at 10-6 torr prior to use. The produced OLED device showed a green emission having a luminance of 5350 cd/m2 and a current density of 13.1 mA/cm2.
