Definitions

  • the present invention relates to phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices, and to compounds which may be used in such devices, especially in hole transporting and/or electron blocking layers thereof.
  • the electroluminescence (EL) characteristic of certain organic materials is used.
  • EL devices an application of a voltage creates suitable charge carriers which form, if re-combined, activated conditions, which return into the basic condition by emission of light.
  • the organic light-emitting diodes very often have, amongst the emission layer, also charge transporting layers which are responsible for transport of negative and positive charge carriers into the emission layer. These charge transporting layers are grouped, depending on the charge carrier transported, into hole conductors and electron conductors.
  • a quite similar set of layers is known for photovoltaic devices, such as organic solar cells.
  • Organic semiconducting devices having several layers can be produced by known methods, for example evaporation under vacuum or deposition from solution.
  • Base electrode hole-injecting (positive pole), usually transparent
  • Electron-transporting layer ETL
  • the conductivity of a thin layer sample can be measured by, for example, the so-called two-point method. At this, a voltage is applied to the thin layer and the current flowing through the layer is measured. The measured resistance, respectively conductivity, results by considering the geometry of the contacts and the thickness of the layer of the sample.
  • the operational voltage (or, more exactly, the overall electrical resistance) is given not only by resistances and thicknesses of particular layers, but also by energetic barriers for charge carrier injection from a particular layer to the adjacent one.
  • the power efficiency of the device depends on Joule losses given by the overall resistance and on the efficiency of conversion of charge carriers in photons, which depends on the charge carrier (electron-hole) balance and on the quantum efficiency of radiating recombination of the formed electron-hole pairs (excitons) in the device.
  • Another object of the inventtion is providing new compounds which can be used as matrix materials for hole-transporting layers and/or electron/exciton blocking layers which overcome the drawbacks of the prior art and can especially be used in phosphorescent OLEDs.

Abstract

Description

Phosphorescent PLED and hole transporting materials for phosphorescent OLEDs
The present invention relates to phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices, and to compounds which may be used in such devices, especially in hole transporting and/or electron blocking layers thereof.
In OLEDs, the electroluminescence (EL) characteristic of certain organic materials is used. In EL devices, an application of a voltage creates suitable charge carriers which form, if re-combined, activated conditions, which return into the basic condition by emission of light. For improving the efficiency, the organic light-emitting diodes very often have, amongst the emission layer, also charge transporting layers which are responsible for transport of negative and positive charge carriers into the emission layer. These charge transporting layers are grouped, depending on the charge carrier transported, into hole conductors and electron conductors. A quite similar set of layers is known for photovoltaic devices, such as organic solar cells. Organic semiconducting devices having several layers can be produced by known methods, for example evaporation under vacuum or deposition from solution.
In other words, in case of organic light-emitting diodes, light is produced and emitted by the injection of charge carriers, electrons from one side, holes from the other, from the contacts into adjacent organic layers as a result of an externally applied voltage, subsequent formation of excitons (electron-hole pairs) in an active zone, and radiant recombination of these excitons.
The most usual OLED structure with the positive electrode (anode) adjacent to the substrate is schematically depicted on Fig. 1 , wherein the numbers 1 -9 stand for the following layers:
1. Substrate
2. Base electrode, hole-injecting (positive pole), usually transparent
3. Hole-injecting layer 4. Hole-transporting layer (HTL)
5. Light-emitting layer (EL)
6. Electron-transporting layer (ETL)
7. Electron-injecting layer
8. Cover electrode (usually a metal with low work function, electron-injecting (negative pole)) 9. Encapsulation, to shut out ambient influence.
While the foregoing represents the most typical case, often several layers may be omitted, or else one layer may be combined for several properties.
An important property of organic semiconducting materials is their conductivity. The conductivity of a thin layer sample can be measured by, for example, the so-called two-point method. At this, a voltage is applied to the thin layer and the current flowing through the layer is measured. The measured resistance, respectively conductivity, results by considering the geometry of the contacts and the thickness of the layer of the sample.
In an OLED, the operational voltage (or, more exactly, the overall electrical resistance) is given not only by resistances and thicknesses of particular layers, but also by energetic barriers for charge carrier injection from a particular layer to the adjacent one. The power efficiency of the device (conversion of the electrical power in the light flux at the given wavelength or in the given colour range) depends on Joule losses given by the overall resistance and on the efficiency of conversion of charge carriers in photons, which depends on the charge carrier (electron-hole) balance and on the quantum efficiency of radiating recombination of the formed electron-hole pairs (excitons) in the device.
There is steady effort to develop materials and OLED designs which allow minimizing Joule losses, ensure the charge carrier balance and maximize the quantum efficiency. In minimizing Joule losses, significant improvement brought the design of special charge injecting layers and the introduction of electrically doped charge transporting layers. Specific charge injecting and blocking layers can also improve the charge carrier balance. Most important improvement in quantum efficiency brought an introduction of phosphorescent emitters, which allow exploiting not only singlet excitons, but also the triplet exciton states, which under normal circumstances statistically prevail in the exciton population.
In the prior art, a number of materials used for preparing hole transport layer and/or electron/exciton blocking layer is known.
However, despite impressive results in OLED performance achieved thank to previous material and design development, the OLED efficiency is still significantly below its theoretical limits and many other OLED-performance parameters like luminosity and lifetime can be also further improved.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide improved phosphorescent OLEDs having lower operating voltage and/or higher efficiency than devices using hole transporting and electron blocking matrices according to the state of the art. Another object of the inventtion is providing new compounds which can be used as matrix materials for hole-transporting layers and/or electron/exciton blocking layers which overcome the drawbacks of the prior art and can especially be used in phosphorescent OLEDs.
This object is achieved by an OLED comprising between anode and cathode at least one emitting layer comprising a phosphorescent emitter and at least one hole transporting layer comprising a compound represented by general formula (I)

Detailed description of the invention
In a research striving to find new ways to approaching better OLEDs, it was surprisingly found by the authors that certain hole -transporting materials known for long, like
Figure imgf000010_0001
perform unexpectedly well when used in OLEDs comprising a phosphorescent emitter, whereas their performance in conventional fluorescent OLEDS is only moderate and no way achieves the level provided by established hole transporting matrix materials like
Figure imgf000011_0001
Further research helped clarifying relationships with the structure of the compounds tested and confirmed that the improvement is rather general. Table 1 shows the experimental results obtained by the procedure described in detail in the examples below. In the experimental OLEDs tested, the hole transporting layer was doped with a p-dopant, what is symbolized with the p- symbol in the substrate/HTL/EBL column. In the table, to the compounds showing voltage lower voltage than reference, negative values were assigned in the voltage column. Oppositely, a positive value in the voltage column shows unfavourable, higher average voltage observed at the set of devices comprising inventive compound in comparison with the average voltage measured on the set of reference devices prepared under the same conditions. In the efficiency column, the average efficiency of devices comprising an inventive compound higher than the average efficiency of comparative devices is positive, whereas unfavourable lower efficiency in comparison with reference has negative sign. The last column in the table shows the arithmetic difference between the value in the efficiency column and the value in the voltage column. The resulting value was used as a benchmark for assessing the overall performance. Its positive value in at least one from the three rows shows that at least in one application - if the compound was used as an EBL, as an HTL, or in both layers - shows that in this particular case, the percentage voltage improvement has overweighed the percentage efficiency decrease or, oppositely, that the percentage efficiency improvement overweighed the undesired voltage increase, or that there was an improvement in both properties. In fluorescent blue OLED, there was uniformly no particular (in at least one - efficiency or voltage - value) improvement at all for all compounds tested. Consequently, all overall performance values were strongly negative. Surprisingly, in the phosphorescent OLED, the only combination of the structural features of the substituents tested which unequivocally failed (afforded negative overall performance in all applications) was the R 23 substituent defined as phenyl bearing at least one strongly electron withdrawing group. The gained knowledge was exploited for providing new hole transporting and electron-blocking matrix materials, particularly useful in OLEDs comprising triplet emitters.

General procedure for biphenyl based cores
The dibromo compound was solved in ether and the flask was shielded from light by aluminium foil. The solution was cooled to -80°C and butyllithium was added within 30 minutes. After butyllithium addition, the solution was kept at -80 °C for 90 minutes. Under vigorous stirring, copper(II) chloride was added in one shot. The solution was allowed to warm to room temperature and to stir overnight. TLC indicated consumption of the starting material and formation of a new product as the only component in the mixture. The mixture was washed three times with 10% aqueous NH4OH, once with brine and once with water. The organic phase was dried over MgS04 and filtered through a pad of silica gel by using DCM/hexane 1 : 1. After evaporation of the solvents, the crude product was washed in boiling methanol for 15 minutes and then filtered and dried. 3, 3 '-dibromo-1, 1 '-biphenyl

General procedure for secondary amines
Under an inert atmosphere the bromoaryl component, palladium(II)acetate, cesium carbonate and 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)- 1 , 1 '-binaphthyl (BINAP) were combined in a flask and dissolved in 1,4-dioxane. The primary arylamine component was added, followed by heating up the mixture to reflux and stirring for 18-48 hours. According to TLC the reaction was complete. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered through a pad of silica gel. After washing with DCM and evaporation of the solvent the crude product was purified by column chromatography (Si02, hexane:DCM mixtures). The combined fractions were evaporated to dryness and the resulting solid was recrystalized from hexane to yield the desired product.

OLED preparation and testing
Performance testing of the new materials was carried out in bottom emitting phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (OLED). The diodes were processed in vacuum via vapor thermal deposition of organic materials (active layers) and metals (electrodes). Shadow mask techniques were used to structure the devices (active matrix, electrodes). Four OLEDs are prepared on one substrate with an active area of 6.70 mm2 each. 16 identical indium tin oxide (ΓΓΟ) substrates were processed at once in a 4x4 array placed on a table which is pivotable around its vertical axe. Using shutters, each of these 16 substrates can be covered by different set of organic layers. The ΓΓΟ substrates were cleaned and put into a vapor thermal deposition unit in the 4x4 array. A reference p-doped layer (e.g. H-l doped with Dl; molar ratio (97:3) was deposited on half of these substrates for a final film thickness of 30 nm. On the other half of the plate, the studied inventive material was codeposited with the same p-dopant at the same 97:3 molar ratio and thickness. After a rotation of the plate by 90°, the second (electron blocking) layer is deposited on top of the first layer. Here, half the plate is covered with 10 nm of the reference compound (e.g., TCTA) and the other half with the same inventive material as used in the first layer (see figure 1). The reference devices (figure 1 , field D) were thus always processed together with the devices comprising the inventive materials. This approach allows assessing performance of new material in comparison with the reference independent from possible day-to-day variations of deposition rates, vacuum quality or other tool performance parameters. As each field contains 16 identically prepared OLEDs and the performance parameters were estimated for each of these 16 OLEDs, statistical evaluation of the obtained experimental results unequivocally showed the statistical significance of the observed average values reported in the Table 1.
The subsequent phosphorescent green emission layer (Merck_TMM004:Irrpy at molar ratio 9: 1) was deposited with a thickness of 20 nm, followed by 10 nm Merck_TMM004 as a hole blocking layer and 50 nm E-l layer doped with D2 (matrix to dopant molar ratio 9: 1). The cathode was prepared by vacuum deposition of 100 nm aluminum layer.
Bottom emitting blue fluorescent OLEDs were prepared on ITO substrates and tested analogously, with a difference that Sun Fine Chem (SFC, Korea) host ABHl 13 and blue emitter NUBD370 were codeposited in the weight ratio 97:3 as a 20 nm thick emitting layer, followed by 36 nm thick electron transporting layer consisting of 60 weigt % E2 and 40 weight % lithium 8- hygroxyquinoline salt (LiQ). The 100 nm aluminium cathode was deposited on top of the electron transporting layer. In comparison with devices comprising H-2 in the same hole transporting and/or electron blocking layer, the devices comprising inventive compounds showed improvement in terms of the overall performance score Q as defined in the Table 1 in the range 3-22 %.
The features disclosed in the foregoing description and in the claims may, both separately and in any combination, be material for realizing the invention in diverse forms thereof.
