Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel organic electroluminescent compounds and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same.
- An electroluminescent 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 for forming a light-emitting layer [Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, 1987].
- the most important factor determining luminous efficiency in an organic EL device is the light-emitting material.
- fluorescent light-emitting materials have been widely used as a 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 materials, respectively.
- a luminescent material can be used in combination with a host material as a light-emitting material to improve color purity, luminous efficiency, and stability. Since host materials greatly influence the efficiency and performance of the EL device when using a host material/dopant system as a light emitting material, their selection is important.
- CBP 4,4’-N,N’-dicarbazol-biphenyl
- BCP bathocuproine
- BAlq aluminum(III)bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinate)(4-phenylphenolate)
- CuPc copper phthalocyanine
- NPB 4,4'-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl
- TPD N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine
- MTDATA 4,4',4"-tris(3-methylphenylphenylamino)triphenylamine
- an organic EL device using these materials is problematic in quantum efficiency and operational lifespan. It is because, when an organic EL device is driven under high current, thermal stress occurs between an anode and the hole injection layer. Thermal stress significantly reduces the operational lifespan of the device. Further, 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.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescent compound and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same. By using the organic electroluminescent compound according to the present invention, it is possible to produce an organic electroluminescent device having excellent current efficiency and luminous efficiency.
Description
The present invention relates to novel organic electroluminescent compounds and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same.
An electroluminescent device (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 for forming a light-emitting layer [Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, 1987].
The most important factor determining luminous efficiency in an organic EL device is the light-emitting material. Until now, fluorescent light-emitting materials have been widely used as a 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 materials, respectively.
A luminescent material (dopant) can be used in combination with a host material as a light-emitting material to improve color purity, luminous efficiency, and stability. Since host materials greatly influence the efficiency and performance of the EL device when using a host material/dopant system as a light emitting material, their selection is important.
At present, 4,4’-N,N’-dicarbazol-biphenyl (CBP) is the most widely known phosphorescent host 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 layer materials.
Though 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 an organic EL device is given by [(π/voltage) × current efficiency], and the power efficiency is inversely proportional to the voltage. Although an 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) Further, the operational lifespan of an organic EL device is short and luminous efficiency is still required 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, an organic EL device using these materials is problematic in quantum efficiency and operational lifespan. It is because, when an organic EL device is driven under high current, thermal stress occurs between an anode and the hole injection layer. Thermal stress significantly reduces the operational lifespan of the device. Further, 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.

Device Example 1: Production of an OLED device using the
organic electroluminescent compound according to the present invention
An OLED device was produced using the light emitting 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, compound C-46 according to the present invention 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, 9-(3-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)phenyl)-9'-phenyl-9H,9'H-3,3'-biscarbazole 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(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 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 1850 cd/m2 and a current density of 3.5 mA/cm2.
