Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. However, the following description is intended to explain the invention, and is not meant in any way to restrict the scope of the invention.
The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescent compound of formula 1, an organic electroluminescent material comprising the compound, and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the material.
The present invention was invented to provide a hole transport material used in an organic EL device which can solve the problems of conventional technology. An ideal hole transport material requires high glass transition temperature, hole injection ability and hole transport ability, and suitable triplet energy and LUMO energy. When the glass transition temperature is low, crystallization may occur due to thermal stress applied during or after the formation of a thin film, which can directly influence the lifespan of the device. Although arylamine derivatives show excellent hole transport ability and low driving voltage, many arylamine derivatives need to have an increased molecular weight by introducing a large amount of substituents in order to obtain suitable glass transition temperature. In this case however, pi-conjugation gets longer to shorten the triplet energy or LUMO energy, and thus the performance of the device deteriorates. It is because high triplet energy contributes to blocking the excitons transporting from the host to the hole transport layer, and high LUMO energy contributes to blocking the electrons transporting from the electron transport layer through the host to the hole transport layer.
Another problem of the hole transport material having high molecular weight by introducing a large amount of substituents is that deposition does not occur well. As the molecular weight gets higher, the deposition temperature also gets higher, and the molecules are likely to decompose to many shapes or get damaged. Hence, retaining appropriate glass transition temperature by introducing a suitable amount of substituents, and maintaining low deposition temperature for high molecular weight are important. Therefore, the present invention proposes as a solution to introduce arylamine and selected heteroaryl or fluorene to the 9-position of a fluorene.
Introducing arylamine and selected heteroaryl or fluorene to the 9-position of a fluorene increases the glass transition temperature, but increases the deposition temperature less compared to introducing the substituents to the 2-position. This is because the linearity of the molecules is relatively low. As the linearity of the molecules gets higher, the intermolecular forces get stronger, and the deposition temperature gets higher.
Meanwhile, the reason for introducing arylamine to the 9-position rather than the 2-position is to obtain relatively high triplet energy by short conjugation. In order to obtain high triplet energy, it is best not to introduce any substituent. However, although the triplet energy gets a little lower, it is possible to obtain excellent hole injection ability/transport ability, high power efficiency, long lifespan, etc., by introducing arylamine. In addition, by introducing heteroaryl or fluorene to the 9-position rather than the 2-position, it is possible to obtain appropriate glass transition temperature without increasing the deposition temperature too high in spite of high molecular weight due to the decrease of the linearity of the molecules.

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 (Geomatec, Japan) was subjected to an ultrasonic washing with acetone and isopropan alcohol, sequentially, and then was stored in isopropan alcohol. 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-6 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'-bicarbazole 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.
