  • An organic electroluminescent device is a device changing electrical energy to light by applying electricity to an organic electroluminescent material, and generally has a structure comprising an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer between the anode and the cathode.

Description

ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT COMPOUNDS AND ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICE COMPRISING THE SAME
The present invention relates to organic electroluminescent compounds and 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. The first organic EL device was 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 electroluminescent device is a device changing electrical energy to light by applying electricity to an organic electroluminescent material, and generally has a structure comprising an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer between 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, an electron blocking layer, a light-emitting layer (which comprises host and dopant materials), an electron buffer layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc., and the materials used for the organic layer are categorized by their functions in hole injection material, hole transport material, electron blocking material, light-emitting material, electron buffer material, hole blocking material, electron transport material, electron injection material, etc. In the organic EL device, due to an application of a voltage, holes are injected from the anode to the light-emitting layer, electrons are injected from the cathode to the light-emitting layer, and excitons of high energies are formed by a recombination of the holes and the electrons. By this energy, organic luminescent compounds reach an excited state, and light emission occurs by emitting light from energy due to the excited state of the organic luminescent compounds returning to a ground state.
The most important factor determining luminous efficiency in an organic EL device is light-emitting materials. 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, and additionally yellow or orange light-emitting materials. In addition, light-emitting materials can also be categorized into host and dopant materials according to their functions. Recently, the development of an organic EL device providing high efficiency and long lifespan is an urgent issue. In particular, considering EL characteristic requirements for a middle or large-sized panel of OLED, materials showing better characteristics than conventional ones must be urgently developed. The host material, which acts as a solvent in a solid state and transfers energy, needs to have high purity and a molecular weight appropriate for vacuum deposition. Furthermore, the host material needs to have high glass transition temperature and high thermal degradation temperature to achieve thermal stability, high electro-chemical stability to achieve long lifespan, ease of forming an amorphous thin film, good adhesion to materials of adjacent layers, and non-migration to other layers.
Until now, fluorescent host materials have been widely used as a host material. For a blue fluorescent host material, a blue light-emitting material system of Idemitsu Kosan using 4,4'-bis(2,2'-diphenylvinyl)-1,1'-biphenyl (DPVBi), and a blue light-emitting material system of Eastman Kodak using dinaphthylanthracene and tetra(t-butyl)perylene, etc., are known. However, much research has been conducted until now in order to develop a blue fluorescent host material having improved characteristics in a device.
Korean Patent Application Laying-Open No. 2008-0047210 discloses a compound in which an aryl group is bonded to a benzocarbazole or dibenzocarbazole structure and an organic EL device comprising the same. Korean Patent Application Laying-Open No. 2013-0130747 discloses an aromatic heterocyclic ring derivative consisting of two or more carbazole derivative residual groups and a nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic ring and an organic EL device comprising the same. In addition, Korean Patent Application Laying-Open No. 2010-0015581 discloses an organic electroluminescent compound in which a nitrogen-containing aromatic hydrocarbon group or an aromatic heterocyclic group is bonded to a pyrimidine ring or a triazine ring and an organic EL device comprising the same. However, necessity of compounds having superior luminous efficiency and lifespan characteristic to the compounds disclosed in the references above is continuously to the fore.
Accordingly, after working on obtaining a compound satisfactory to the necessity above, the present inventors found that a compound of a specific structure in which a dibenzocarbazole and a diaryltriazine are bonded via an aryl group more suitable for producing an organic EL device improved efficiency and lifespan compared to conventional organic electroluminescent compounds.
The objective of the present invention is to provide an organic electroluminescent compound which can produce an organic electroluminescent device having excellent efficiency and improved lifespan.
The present inventors found that the above objective can be achieved by an organic electroluminescent compound represented by the following formula 1:

The organic electroluminescent device according to the present invention may further comprise, in addition to the organic electroluminescent compound represented by formula 1, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of arylamine-based compounds and styrylarylamine-based compounds.
In the organic electroluminescent device according to the present invention, the organic layer may further comprise at least one metal selected from the group consisting of metals of Group 1, metals of Group 2, transition metals of the 4th period, transition metals of the 5th period, lanthanides and organic metals of d-transition elements of the Periodic Table, or at least one complex compound comprising said metal. The organic layer may further comprise a light-emitting layer and a charge generating layer.
In addition, the organic electroluminescent device according to the present invention may emit white light by further comprising at least one light-emitting layer which comprises a blue electroluminescent compound, a red electroluminescent compound or a green electroluminescent compound known in the field, besides the organic electroluminescent compound according to the present invention. Also, if necessary, a yellow or orange light-emitting layer can be comprised in the device.
According to the present invention, at least one layer (hereinafter, "a surface layer”) is preferably placed on an inner surface(s) of one or both electrode(s); selected from a chalcogenide layer, a metal halide layer, and a metal oxide layer. Specifically, a chalcogenide (including oxides) layer of silicon or aluminum is preferably placed on an anode surface of an electroluminescent medium layer, and a metal halide layer or a metal oxide layer is preferably placed on a cathode surface of an electroluminescent medium layer. Such a surface layer provides operation stability for the organic electroluminescent device. Preferably, said chalcogenide includes SiOX(1≤X≤2), AlOX(1≤X≤1.5), SiON, SiAlON, etc.; said metal halide includes LiF, MgF2, CaF2, a rare earth metal fluoride, etc.; and said metal oxide includes Cs2O, Li2O, MgO, SrO, BaO, CaO, etc.
In the organic electroluminescent device according to the present invention, a mixed region of an electron transport compound and reductive dopant, or a mixed region of a hole transport compound and an oxidative dopant is preferably placed on at least one surface of a pair of electrodes. In this case, the electron transport compound is reduced to an anion, and thus it becomes easier to inject and transport electrons from the mixed region to an electroluminescent medium. Further, the hole transport compound is oxidized to a cation, and thus it becomes easier to inject and transport holes from the mixed region to the electroluminescent medium. Preferably, the oxidative dopant includes various Lewis acids and acceptor compounds; and the reductive dopant includes alkali metals, alkali metal compounds, alkaline earth metals, rare-earth metals, and mixtures thereof. A reductive dopant layer may be employed as a charge generating layer to prepare an electroluminescent device having two or more electroluminescent layers and emitting white light.
In order to form each layer of the organic electroluminescent device according to the present invention, dry film-forming methods such as vacuum evaporation, sputtering, plasma and ion plating methods, or wet film-forming methods such as spin coating, dip coating, and flow coating methods can be used.
When using a wet film-forming method, a thin film can be formed by dissolving or diffusing materials forming each layer into any suitable solvent such as ethanol, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, etc. The solvent can be any solvent where the materials forming each layer can be dissolved or diffused, and where there are no problems in film-formation capability.
Hereinafter, the organic electroluminescent compound, the preparation method of the compound, and the properties of the device comprising the organic electroluminescent compound will be explained in detail with reference to the following examples.

An OLED device was produced comprising the organic electroluminescent compound according to the present invention. A transparent electrode indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film (10 Ω/sq) on a glass substrate for an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device (Geomatec, Japan) was subjected to an ultrasonic washing with trichloroethylene, acetone, ethanol, and distilled water, sequentially, and was then stored in isopropanol. Next, the ITO substrate was mounted on a substrate holder of a vacuum vapor depositing apparatus. N4,N4'-diphenyl-N4,N4'-bis(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-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 first hole injection layer having a thickness of 80 nm on the ITO substrate. Dipyrazino[2,3-f:2',3'-h]quinoxaline-2,3,6,7,10,11-hexacarbonitrile was then introduced into another cell of said vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and was evaporated by applying an electric current to the cell, thereby forming a second hole injection layer having a thickness of 5 nm on the first hole injection layer. N-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluorene-2-amine 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 first hole transport layer having a thickness of 10 nm on the second hole injection layer. N-(4-(9,9-diphenyl-9H,9'H-[2,9'-bifluorene]-9'-yl)phenyl)-9,9-dimethyl-N-phenyl-9H-fluorene-2-amine 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 second hole transport layer having a thickness of 60 nm on the first hole transport layer. Thereafter, host compounds as listed in Table 1 below was introduced into one cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus as a host, and compound D-96 was introduced into another cell as a dopant. The two materials were deposited in a doping amount of 3 wt% (the amount of dopant) based on the total amount of the host and dopant to form a light-emitting layer having a thickness of 40 nm on the second hole transport layer. 2,4-bis(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)-6-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine and lithium quinolate were then introduced into another two cells, evaporated at the same time, and deposited to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of 30 nm on the light-emitting layer. Next, 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 80 nm was deposited by another vacuum vapor deposition apparatus on the electron injection layer. Thus, an OLED device was produced.

Comparative Example 2-1: Production of a blue light-emitting organic
electroluminescent device not comprising an electron buffer layer
An OLED device was produced as follows. A transparent electrode indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film (10 Ω/sq) on a glass substrate for an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device (Geomatec, Japan) was subjected to an ultrasonic washing with acetone, ethanol, and distilled water, sequentially, and was then stored in isopropanol. Next, the ITO substrate was mounted on a substrate holder of a vacuum vapor depositing apparatus. N4,N4'-diphenyl-N4,N4'-bis(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-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 first hole injection layer having a thickness of 60 nm on the ITO substrate. 1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN) was then introduced into another cell of said vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and was evaporated by applying an electric current to the cell, thereby forming a second hole injection layer having a thickness of 5 nm on the first hole injection layer. N-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluorene-2-amine 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 first hole transport layer having a thickness of 20 nm on the second hole injection layer. 9-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-carbazole as below (HT-2) 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 second hole transport layer having a thickness of 5 nm on the first hole transport layer. Thereafter, compound BH-1 as below was introduced into one cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus as a host, and compound BD-1 as below was introduced into another cell as a dopant. The two materials were evaporated at different rates and were deposited in a doping amount of 2 wt% (the amount of dopant) based on the total amount of the host and dopant to form a light-emitting layer having a thickness of 20 nm on the second hole transport layer. 2-(3-(phenanthren-9-yl)-5-(pyridin-3-yl)phenyl)-4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine and lithium quinolate were then introduced into another two cells, evaporated at the same rate in an amount of 50 wt% each, and deposited to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of 35 nm on the light-emitting layer. Next, 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 80 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 those purified by vacuum sublimation at 10-6 torr.
A driving voltage at 1,000 nit of luminance, CIE color coordinate, and time taken to be reduced from 100% to 90% of the luminance at 2,000 nit and a constant current of OLEDs are shown in Table 2 below.

Comparative Example 2-2, and Device Examples 2-1 and 2-2: Production of a blue light-emitting organic electroluminescent device according to the present invention
An OLED device was produced in the same manner as in Comparative Example 2-1, except for reducing the thickness of the electron transport layer to 30 nm, and inserting an electron buffer layer of 5 nm between the light-emitting layer and the electron transport layer, and evaluated. The evaluation results of the devices produced in Comparative Example 2-2, and Device Examples 2-1 and 2-2 are shown in Table 2 as follows:
Figure PCTKR2016000666-appb-I000084
The blue fluorescent materials used at present have several problems. First, when exposed to high temperature during a process of producing a panel, a current characteristic of the blue fluorescent luminescent device changes to cause a problem of a change in luminance, and a drop of an interfacial characteristic between a light-emitting layer and an electron injection layer causes a decrease in luminance and lifespan. Second, in the case of devices comprising an anthracene based blue fluorescent host and a pyrene based dopant, an absolute value of a LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) energy of the host (Ah) is higher than that of the dopant (Ad), and hole traps are magnified so that efficiency increases due to interfacial luminescence between the electron transport layer and the fluorescent light-emitting layer, but there is a problem in that the lifespan decreases.
Originally, LUMO energy and HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) energy levels have negative values. However, for convenience, the LUMO energy level and HOMO energy level are expressed in absolute values in the present invention. In addition, the values of the LUMO energy level are compared based on absolute values. In the present invention, Values measured by density functional theory (DFT) are used for the LUMO energy level and HOMO energy level.
In the blue organic electroluminescent device according to the present invention, by interposing an electron buffering layer, electron injection is controlled and interfacial characteristics between the light-emitting layer and the electron injection layer are improved, and thus lifespan characteristics are focused. Specifically, by interposing an electron buffer layer in the organic electroluminescent device, electron injection and transport can be controlled due to the difference of electron affinity according to LUMO energy level, between the light-emitting layer and the electron transport zone.
In the organic electroluminescent device according to the present invention, the LUMO energy level of the electron buffer layer may be higher than the LUMO energy level of the host compound. Specifically, the difference in the LUMO energy levels between the electron buffer layer and the host compound may be 0.4 eV or less. For example, the LUMO energy levels of the electron buffer layer and the host compound may be 2.0 eV and 1.6 eV, respectively, and thus the difference in the LUMO energy levels may be 0.4 eV. Due to such LUMO barrier between the host compound and the electron buffer layer, improved lifespan characteristics can be shown compared to a device not comprising an electron buffer layer. This is because a drop of an interfacial characteristic within the device is mitigated through electron injection control effect due to the electron buffer layer.
As shown in Table 2, due to the electron injection control effect of the electron buffer layer of the present invention, Device Examples 2-1 and 2-2 showed better lifespan characteristics than Comparative Examples 2-1 and 2-2 which do not comprise an electron buffer layer. These results can be effectively used henceforth in the field of flexible display or lighting device which require long lifespan.
