  • Organic electroluminescent (EL) devices have a simpler structure, various processing advantages, higher brightness, superior viewing angle properties, quicker response rate, and a lower driving voltage compared to other flat panel displays such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma display panels (PDPs), field emission displays (FEDs), etc., and are thus being thoroughly developed so as to be utilized as light sources of flat panel displays such as wall-mountable TVs, etc. or backlight units of the displays, illuminators, advertisement boards and so on.
  • LCDs liquid crystal displays
  • PDPs plasma display panels
  • FEDs field emission displays
  • Hole transport materials for use in organic EL devices which have been known to date, are problematic because thin films formed therefrom using vacuum deposition are thermally and electrically unstable, and thus may rapidly crystallize due to heat generated upon device driving and also the film materials may change, undesirably deteriorating the light emission efficiency of the devices. Further, non-emission parts referred to as dark spots may increasingly occur, and the voltage may increase upon constant-current driving, undesirably damaging the devices.
  • organic EL devices using a phosphorescent light emitting material do not confine a triplet exciton produced in the light emitting material of a light emitting layer due to low triplet energy, undesirably lowering the light emission efficiency of the devices.

Description

COMPOUND FOR ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICE AND ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
The present invention relates to a compound for an organic electroluminescent device and an organic electroluminescent device including the same, and more particularly, to an amine-based compound for an organic electroluminescent device, having excellent light emission efficiency, and to an organic electroluminescent device including the same.
Organic electroluminescent (EL) devices have a simpler structure, various processing advantages, higher brightness, superior viewing angle properties, quicker response rate, and a lower driving voltage compared to other flat panel displays such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma display panels (PDPs), field emission displays (FEDs), etc., and are thus being thoroughly developed so as to be utilized as light sources of flat panel displays such as wall-mountable TVs, etc. or backlight units of the displays, illuminators, advertisement boards and so on.
Typically, when a direct-current voltage is applied to an organic EL device, holes injected from an anode and electrons injected from a cathode recombine to form electron-hole pairs, namely, excitons. While the excitons return to a stable ground state, energy corresponding thereto is transferred to a light emitting material and is thereby converted into light.
In order to increase efficiency and stability of an organic EL device, since C. W. Tang et al. of Eastman Kodak Company made an organic EL device operating at low voltage by forming a tandem organic thin film between two opposite electrodes (C. W. Tang, S. A. Vanslyke, Applied Physics Letters, vol. 51, pp. 913, 1987), extensive and intensive research into organic materials for organic EL devices having a multilayered thin-film structure has been ongoing. The efficiency and lifetime of such a tandem organic EL device are closely related to the molecular structure of a material for the thin film. For example, quantum efficiency may greatly vary depending on the structure of the material for the thin film, particularly a host material, a hole transport layer material or an electron transport layer material. When thermal stability of the material decreases, the material may be crystallized at a high temperature or a driving temperature, undesirably shortening the lifetime of the device.
Hole transport materials for use in organic EL devices, which have been known to date, are problematic because thin films formed therefrom using vacuum deposition are thermally and electrically unstable, and thus may rapidly crystallize due to heat generated upon device driving and also the film materials may change, undesirably deteriorating the light emission efficiency of the devices. Further, non-emission parts referred to as dark spots may increasingly occur, and the voltage may increase upon constant-current driving, undesirably damaging the devices.
Also, organic EL devices using a phosphorescent light emitting material do not confine a triplet exciton produced in the light emitting material of a light emitting layer due to low triplet energy, undesirably lowering the light emission efficiency of the devices.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a compound for an organic EL device, which may have high thermal stability, high triplet energy and high hole transport capability.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an organic EL device, which includes the compound as above and is thus improved in thermal stability and light emission efficiency, and in which the above compound is used as a hole transport layer material in contact with a light emitting layer, thereby increasing a triplet energy, ultimately improving efficiency of the organic EL device.
In order to accomplish the above objects, an aspect of the present invention provides a compound for an organic EL device, as represented by Chemical Formula 1 below.

Device Example 1. Manufacture of organic EL device including Compound 2 as second hole transport layer
A glass substrate coated with an ITO (indium tin oxide) thin film having a thickness of 100 nm was ultrasonically washed with an isopropyl alcohol solvent, dried, placed in a plasma cleaning system so that the substrate was cleaned using oxygen plasma for 5 min, and then transferred into a vacuum deposition system.
The ITO transparent electrode thus prepared was used as an anode, and DNTPD [N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis-[4-(phenyl-m-tolylamino)-phenyl]-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine] was vacuum deposited on the ITO substrate, thus forming a hole injection layer having a thickness of 50 nm. Subsequently, TBDB [N,N,N’,N’-tetra(4-biphenyl)-diaminophenylene] was vacuum deposited to a thickness of 30 nm, thus forming a firt hole transport layer, and a second hole transport layer was formed to a thickness of 10 nm using compound 2 on the first hole transport layer. GH1 as a host and 6 vol% of GD1 as a dopant were vacuum deposited to a thickness of 30 nm on the second hole transport layer, thus forming a light emitting layer.
Thereafter, an hole blocking layer was formed to a thickness of 10 nm using GH1 on the light emitting layer, and an electron transport layer was formed to a thickness of 20 nm using Alq3(tris(8-quinolinolato)-aluminium(III)) on the hole blocking layer. 2 nm thick Liq [lithium quinolate] and 100 nm thick Al were sequentially vacuum deposited on the electron transport layer to form a cathode, thereby manufacturing an organic EL device.

In the manufactured organic EL devices of Device Examples 1, 2 and Comparative Device Examples 1, while a voltage was increased from 0 V to 6 V, current of each unit device was measured using a current-voltage meter (Keithley 2635A Source Meter), and the measured current value was divided by the area, thus obtaining current density.
In the manufactured organic EL devices, while a voltage was increased from 0 V to 10 V, the brightness was measured using a brightness meter (Minolta CS-2000), and the measured brightness value was divided by the current value, thus obtaining brightness efficiency.
