Definitions
- the present invention relates to a combination of specific dopant and host compounds.
- 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.
- 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 [see Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, 1987].
- the organic EL device changes electric energy into light by the injection of a charge into an organic light-emitting material and commonly comprises an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer formed between the two electrodes.
- the organic layer of the organic EL device may be composed of a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron blocking layer (EBL), a light-emitting layer (EML) (containing host and dopant materials), an electron transport layer (ETL), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron injection layer (EIL), etc.; the materials used in the organic layer can be classified into a hole injection material, a hole transport material, an electron blocking material, a light-emitting material, an electron transport material, a hole blocking material, an electron injection material, etc., depending on functions.
- the organic EL device In the organic EL device, holes from an anode and electrons from a cathode are injected to a light-emitting layer by the injection of a charge, and an exciton having high energy is produced by the recombination of holes and electrons.
- the organic light-emitting compound moves into an excited state by the energy and emits light which is changed from energy when the organic light-emitting compound returns to the ground state from the excited state.
- the light-emitting material is required to have the following features: high quantum efficiency, high movement degree of an electron and a hole, formability of a uniformlayer, and stability.
- the light-emitting material is classified into blue light-emitting materials, green light-emitting materials according to the light-emitting color, and red light-emitting materials, and further includes yellow light-emitting materials or orange light-emitting materials.
- the light-emitting material is classified into a host material and a dopant material in the functional aspect.
- the light-emitting layer wherein a dopant is doped onto a host
- a host material should have high purity and suitable molecular weight in order to be deposited under vacuum.
- a host material is required to have high glass transition temperature and pyrolysis temperature to guarantee thermal stability, high electrochemical stability to provide long lifespan, easy formability of an amorphous thin film, good adhesion with adjacent layers, and no movement between layers.
- the light-emitting materials are classified into fluorescent materials (singlet excited state) and phosphorescent materials (triplet excited state) according to the excited state.
- the fluorescent materials were initially used in an organic EL device.
- phosphorescent materials have efficiency for changing electricity into light (luminous efficiency) by four (4) times over fluorescent materials, reduce consumption power, and improve lifespan. Thus, development of phosphorescent materials are widely being conducted.
- 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)picolinatoiridium (Firpic) as red, green and blue materials, respectively.
- a mixed system of a dopant/host material can be used as a light-emitting material to improve color purity, luminous efficiency, and stability.
- the device having excellent EL properties comprises the light-emitting layer, wherein a dopant is doped onto a host. If the dopant/host material system is used, the selection of the host material is important since the host material greatly influences the efficiency and performance of a light-emitting device.
- 4,4’-N,N’-dicarbazol-biphenyl (CBP) is the most widely known as a phosphorescent host material.
- the organic EL device comprising light-emitting materials containing conventional dopant and host compounds does not have good power efficiency, satisfactory operating lifespan and high luminous efficiency.
- Korean Patent Application Laid-open Nos. 2013-0054205 and 2011-0130475, and US 2013/0026452 A1 disclose heteroleptic iridium complexes with phenylpyridine and dibenzo-containing ligands as dopant compounds included in light-emitting materials of an organic EL device, but do not mention a combination with specific host compounds suitable for the dopant compounds.
- the present inventors have found that the light-emitting materials containing a specific combination of dopant compounds and host compounds are more effective in improving power efficiency and luminous efficiency of the organic EL device over conventional light-emitting materials.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a specific combination of dopant compounds and host compounds which can improve the power efficiency of an organic EL device by reducing the driving voltage of the organic EL device.

Description
The present invention relates to a combination of specific dopant and host compounds.
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. 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 [see Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, 1987].
The organic EL device changes electric energy into light by the injection of a charge into an organic light-emitting material and commonly comprises an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer formed between the two electrodes. The organic layer of the organic EL device may be composed of a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron blocking layer (EBL), a light-emitting layer (EML) (containing host and dopant materials), an electron transport layer (ETL), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron injection layer (EIL), etc.; the materials used in the organic layer can be classified into a hole injection material, a hole transport material, an electron blocking material, a light-emitting material, an electron transport material, a hole blocking material, an electron injection material, etc., depending on functions. In the organic EL device, holes from an anode and electrons from a cathode are injected to a light-emitting layer by the injection of a charge, and an exciton having high energy is produced by the recombination of holes and electrons. The organic light-emitting compound moves into an excited state by the energy and emits light which is changed from energy when the organic light-emitting compound returns to the ground state from the excited state.
The most important factor determining properties, such as luminous efficiency, etc., in an organic EL device is the light-emitting material. The light-emitting material is required to have the following features: high quantum efficiency, high movement degree of an electron and a hole, formability of a uniformlayer, and stability. The light-emitting material is classified into blue light-emitting materials, green light-emitting materials according to the light-emitting color, and red light-emitting materials, and further includes yellow light-emitting materials or orange light-emitting materials. Furthermore, 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. For this, preferably, as a solvent in a solid state and energy transmitter, a host material should have high purity and suitable molecular weight in order to be deposited under vacuum. Furthermore, a host material is required to have high glass transition temperature and pyrolysis temperature to guarantee thermal stability, high electrochemical stability to provide long lifespan, easy formability of an amorphous thin film, good adhesion with adjacent layers, and no movement between layers.
The light-emitting materials are classified into fluorescent materials (singlet excited state) and phosphorescent materials (triplet excited state) according to the excited state. The fluorescent materials were initially used in an organic EL device. However, phosphorescent materials have efficiency for changing electricity into light (luminous efficiency) by four (4) times over fluorescent materials, reduce consumption power, and improve lifespan. Thus, development of phosphorescent materials are widely being conducted.
Until now, 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)picolinatoiridium (Firpic) as red, green and blue materials, respectively.
A mixed system of a dopant/host material can be used as a light-emitting material to improve color purity, luminous efficiency, and stability. Generally, the device having excellent EL properties comprises the light-emitting layer, wherein a dopant is doped onto a host. If the dopant/host material system is used, the selection of the host material is important since the host material greatly influences the efficiency and performance of a light-emitting device. In conventional technique, 4,4’-N,N’-dicarbazol-biphenyl (CBP) is the most widely known as a phosphorescent host material. Pioneer (Japan) et al., currently developed a high performance organic EL device by employing bathocuproine (BCP), aluminum(III) bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinato)(4-phenylphenolate) (BAlq), etc., which were used in a hole blocking layer, as host materials.
Although these phosphorescent host materials provide good light-emitting characteristics, they have the following disadvantages: (1) Due to their low glass transition temperatures 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 voltage. An organic EL device comprising phosphorescent host materials provides higher current efficiency (cd/A) and has a higher driving voltage than one comprising fluorescent host materials. Thus, the organic EL device using conventional phosphorescent materials has no advantage in terms of power efficiency (lm/W). (3) Furthermore, the operating lifespan, and luminous efficiency of the organic EL device are not satisfactory.
Thus, the organic EL device comprising light-emitting materials containing conventional dopant and host compounds does not have good power efficiency, satisfactory operating lifespan and high luminous efficiency.
Korean Patent Application Laid-open Nos. 2013-0054205 and 2011-0130475, and US 2013/0026452 A1 disclose heteroleptic iridium complexes with phenylpyridine and dibenzo-containing ligands as dopant compounds included in light-emitting materials of an organic EL device, but do not mention a combination with specific host compounds suitable for the dopant compounds.
The present inventors have found that the light-emitting materials containing a specific combination of dopant compounds and host compounds are more effective in improving power efficiency and luminous efficiency of the organic EL device over conventional light-emitting materials.
The object of the present invention is to provide a specific combination of dopant compounds and host compounds which can improve the power efficiency of an organic EL device by reducing the driving voltage of the organic EL device.

device
by
using
the
organic
electroluminescent compound according to the present invention
An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device comprising the light-emitting material of the present invention was produced as follows: A transparent electrode indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film (15 Ω/sq) on a glass substrate for an 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-(naphthalene-1-yl)-N4,N4-diphenylbenzene-1,4-diamine) 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’-di(4-biphenyl)-N,N’-di(4-biphenyl)-4,4’-diaminobiphenyl was introduced into another cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and an electric current was applied to the cell to evaporate the introduced material, thereby forming a hole transport layer having a thickness of 20 nm on the hole injection layer. Compound H-60 was introduced as a host into one cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and compound D-3 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 15 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, 2-(4-(9,10-di(naphthalene-2-yl)anthracene-2-yl)phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidiazole was introduced into one cell, and lithium quinolate was introduced into another cell. The two materials were evaporated at the same rates and were respectively deposited in a doping amount of 50 wt% 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 green emission having power efficiency of 44.01 m/W and a luminance of 1620 cd/m2 at 3.6 V.
