Description

ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT COMPOUNDS AND ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICE COMPRISING THE SAME
The present invention relates to organic electroluminescent compounds and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same.
Among display devices, an electroluminescent (EL) device is a self-light-emitting device with the advantage of providing a wider viewing angle, a greater contrast ratio, and a faster response time compared with a liquid crystalline display (LCD). An organic EL device was first developed by Eastman Kodak, by using small aromatic diamine molecules and aluminum complexes as material for forming a light-emitting layer [see Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, 1987].
The most important factor for determining luminescent efficiency of an organic EL device is a light-emitting material. The light-emitting material is classified into a host material and a dopant material in the functional aspect. Generally, as a structure of the device having the most excellent EL properties, the light-emitting layer, wherein a dopant is doped onto a host, was known. Recently, an urgent task is the development of an organic EL device having high efficacy and a long operating lifespan. In particular, the development of highly excellent light-emitting material over conventional light-emitting materials is urgent considering EL properties required in medium- and large-sized OLED panels.
The host material as a solvent in a solid state and an energy messenger is preferably required to have the following features: high purity, suitable molecular weight possible for vacuum deposition, high glass transition temperature and thermal breakdown temperature for securing thermal stability, high electrochemical stability for long lifespan, easy formation of an amorphous thin film, good adhesion with the materials of an adjacent layer(s) and no movement between layers.
Until now, fluorescent host materials have been widely used as a host material. As blue fluorescent host materials, a blue light-emitting material system by using 4,4’-bis(2,2’-diphenylvinyl)-1,1’-biphenyl (DPVBi)(Idemitsu Kosan), and blue light-emitting material systems of dinaphthylanthracene and tetra(t-butyl)perylene (Eastman Kodak) were known. However, in order to develop blue fluorescent host materials for providing better properties in the device, further studies are still being conducted.
European Patent Application Laying-open No. 1972619 A discloses various anthracene derivatives as blue fluorescent host materials, but the derivatives do not have satisfactory luminescent efficiency and lifespan property.
The present inventors have worked to overcome said problems and consequently, found that anthracene derivatives having a specific structure are suitable to prepare an organic electroluminescent device having high efficiency.
The objective of the present invention is to provide an organic electroluminescent compound which can be used as a blue fluorescent host material in preparing an organic electroluminescent device having high current efficiency and high luminescent efficiency.
The present inventors found that the above objective can be achieved by a compound represented by the following formula 1:

An OLED device was produced using the organic electroluminescent compound 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 by using 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. 4,4’,4”-tris(N,N-(2-naphthyl)-phenylamino)triphenylamine was introduced into a cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and then the pressure in the chamber of the apparatus was controlled to 10-6 torr. Thereafter, an electric current was applied to the cell to evaporate the introduced material, thereby forming a hole injection layer having a thickness of 60 nm on the ITO substrate. Then, N,N’-bis(α-naphthyl)-N,N’-diphenyl-4,4’-diamine was introduced into another cell of the 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-3 according to the present invention as a host was introduced into one cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and compound D-9 as a dopant was introduced into another cell. The two materials were evaporated at different rates and the dopant was deposited in a doping amount of 3 wt%, based on the total weight of the host and dopant, to form a light-emitting layer having a thickness of 30 nm on the hole transport layer. Then, tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)-aluminum(III) was introduced into one cell 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 blue emission having a luminance of 890 cd/m2 and a current density of 28.7 mA/cm2.
Comparative Example 1: Production of an OLED device by using conventional organic electroluminescent compound
An OLED device was produced in the same manner as in Device Example 1, except for using the following compound as a host and compound D-9 as a dopant in the light-emitting material.
The produced OLED device showed blue emission having a luminance of 820 cd/m2 and a current density of 31.5 mA/cm2.
