Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel organic electroluminescent compounds and organic electroluminescent device comprising the same.
- An electroluminescence 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].
- An organic EL device generally has a structure comprising an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer between the anode and the cathode, and a light emission occurs by the recombination of a hole and an electron injected from the anode and the cathode.
- the organic layer of an organic EL device may be comprised of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc., and the materials used for the organic layer are categorized into hole injection material, hole transport material, light-emitting material, electron transport material, electron injection material, etc.
- the most important factor determining luminous efficiency in an organic EL device is the light-emitting material.
- a light-emitting material must have high quantum efficiency, high electron and hole mobility, and the formed light-emitting material layer must be uniform and stable.
- Light-emitting materials are categorized into blue, green, and red light-emitting materials dependent on the color of the light emission. In addition, there are also yellow and green light-emitting materials.
- Light-emitting materials can also be categorized into fluorescent (singlet state) light-emitting materials and phosphorescent (triplet state) light-emitting materials dependent on the state of excitation. Fluorescent light-emitting materials had been mainly used in the organic EL devices in the early stage.
- 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 light-emitting material can be used as a combination of a host and a dopant to improve color purity, luminous efficiency, and stability. Since host materials greatly influence the efficiency and performance of the EL device when using a dopant/host material 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.
- 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.
- Korean Patent No. 1219492 discloses an organic electroluminescent compound comprising a specific structure of a fused heterocyclic moiety.
- the present inventors found that the performance of the device comprising the compound of the present invention is better by experimenting with the electroluminescent devices comprising the compound disclosed in the above reference.
- the present inventors found that the compound of the present invention can provide not only a device of high luminous efficiency and excellent performance, but also an increase of thermal stability by lowering the evaporation temperature due to low molecular weight and improvement in synthesis method.
- the first objective of the present invention is to provide an organic electroluminescent compound which has high luminous efficiency
- the second objective is to provide an organic EL device comprising said compound which has long operational lifespan and improved power and current efficiencies.

Description
The present invention relates to novel organic electroluminescent compounds and organic electroluminescent device comprising the same.
An electroluminescence 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].
An organic EL device generally has a structure comprising an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer between the anode and the cathode, and a light emission occurs by the recombination of a hole and an electron injected from the anode and the cathode. The organic layer of an organic EL device may be comprised of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc., and the materials used for the organic layer are categorized into hole injection material, hole transport material, light-emitting material, electron transport material, electron injection material, etc.
The most important factor determining luminous efficiency in an organic EL device is the light-emitting material. A light-emitting material must have high quantum efficiency, high electron and hole mobility, and the formed light-emitting material layer must be uniform and stable. Light-emitting materials are categorized into blue, green, and red light-emitting materials dependent on the color of the light emission. In addition, there are also yellow and green light-emitting materials. Light-emitting materials can also be categorized into fluorescent (singlet state) light-emitting materials and phosphorescent (triplet state) light-emitting materials dependent on the state of excitation. Fluorescent light-emitting materials had been mainly used in the organic EL devices in the early stage. However, since phosphorescent materials enhance the efficiency for changing light into electricity, i.e. luminous efficiency by four (4) times compared to fluorescent materials, and power consumption can be decreased to increase the lifespan relatively, 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 light-emitting material can be used as a combination of a host and a dopant to improve color purity, luminous efficiency, and stability. Since host materials greatly influence the efficiency and performance of the EL device when using a dopant/host material 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.
Therefore, in order to realize the superior characteristics of an organic EL device, appropriate selection of materials consisting of the organic layers in the device, especially a host or dopant consisting of the light-emitting material must be made. Korean Patent No. 1219492 discloses an organic electroluminescent compound comprising a specific structure of a fused heterocyclic moiety. However, the present inventors found that the performance of the device comprising the compound of the present invention is better by experimenting with the electroluminescent devices comprising the compound disclosed in the above reference.
As a result of researching an organic electroluminescent compound which can provide better performance of an EL device than the compounds disclosed in the above reference, the present inventors found that the compound of the present invention can provide not only a device of high luminous efficiency and excellent performance, but also an increase of thermal stability by lowering the evaporation temperature due to low molecular weight and improvement in synthesis method.
The first objective of the present invention is to provide an organic electroluminescent compound which has high luminous efficiency, and the second objective is to provide an organic EL device comprising said compound which has long operational lifespan and improved power and current efficiencies.
The present inventors found that the above objective can be achieved by a compound represented by the following formula 1:

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 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 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, N,N'-di(4-biphenyl)-N,N'-di(4-biphenyl)-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl 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, compound H-90 was introduced into one cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, as a host material, and compound D-88 was introduced into another cell as a dopant. The two materials were evaporated at different rates and were deposited in a doping amount of 4 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 red emission having a luminance of 980 cd/m2 and a current density of 14.6 mA/cm2 at a driving voltage of 3.5 V. The time period for the luminance to be dropped to 90% at 5000 nit was 100 hours or more.
Comparative Example 1: Production of an OLED device using conventional
organic electroluminescent compound
An OLED device was produced in the same manner as in Device Example 1, except for using compound C-1
as a host, and compound D-88 as a dopant.
The produced OLED device showed a red emission having a luminance of 1000 cd/m2 and a current density of 15.8 mA/cm2 at a driving voltage of 3.6 V. The time period for the luminance to be dropped to 90% at 5000 nit was 80 hours or more.
