Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a luminescent material for delayed fluorescence and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same.
  • An electroluminescent 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 has a structure comprising a cathode, an anode, and an organic layer between them.
  • OLED organic electroluminescent device
  • a voltage When a voltage is applied, holes are injected from the anode, and electrons are injected from the cathode. Holes and electrons are recombined at a light-emitting layer to form an exciton of high energy. Due to the energy of the exciton, the organic luminescent material transfers to an excited state, and emits light when it returns to a ground state.
  • An organic light-emitting material can be used as a combination of a host and a dopant to improve color purity, luminous efficiency, and stability.
  • an EL device having excellent luminous characteristics has a structure comprising a light-emitting layer formed by doping a dopant to a host. Since host and dopant materials greatly influence the efficiency and lifespan of the EL device when using a dopant/host material system, their selection is important.
  • a luminous material using delayed fluorescence is being developed recently as a luminous material of high efficiency, of which the internal quantum efficiency can exceed 25%, i.e. the limited efficiency of a fluorescent dopant material without using a metal complex as in a phosphorescent dopant material.
  • delayed fluorescence A fluorescence which continues to emit light for a much longer time of ⁇ s units or longer is called delayed fluorescence. Delayed fluorescence is classified to P-type and E-type according to light-emitting mechanism. The P-type delayed fluorescence cannot provide an internal quantum efficiency of 100% since it occurs through triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA). Since the E-type delayed fluorescence is activated by heat energy, it is known as thermally activated delayed fluorescence.
  • TTA triplet-triplet annihilation
  • E-type delayed fluorescence when the difference between the energy of singlet exciton state and the energy of triplet exciton state ( ⁇ E ST ) is low, preferably when lower than 0.2 eV, the singlet exciton emits light as normal, i.e. fluorescence, and the triplet exciton emits light by reverse-intersystem crossing to a singlet exciton, i.e. delayed fluorescence.
  • ⁇ E ST energy of singlet exciton state and the energy of triplet exciton state
  • Korean Patent No. 1317923, Korean Patent Application Laying-Open Nos. 2014-0064655 and 2015-0009512, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014-0131665, and International Publication No. WO 2014/092083 disclose compounds comprising a nitrogen-containing heteroaryl such as triazine or an amine as luminescent compounds for delayed fluorescence. However, these compounds still show low luminous efficiency.
  • An objective of the present invention is to provide a luminescent material for delayed fluorescence, which can produce an organic electroluminescent device having long lifespan, low driving voltage, high color purity, and significantly improved luminous efficiency such as current efficiency. Another objective is to provide an organic electroluminescent device comprising the luminescent material for delayed fluorescence.

Description

LUMINESCENT MATERIAL FOR DELAYED FLUORESCENCE AND ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICE COMPRISING THE SAME
The present invention relates to a luminescent material for delayed fluorescence and an 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].
Generally, an organic electroluminescent device (OLED) has a structure comprising a cathode, an anode, and an organic layer between them. When a voltage is applied, holes are injected from the anode, and electrons are injected from the cathode. Holes and electrons are recombined at a light-emitting layer to form an exciton of high energy. Due to the energy of the exciton, the organic luminescent material transfers to an excited state, and emits light when it returns to a ground state.
An organic light-emitting material can be used as a combination of a host and a dopant to improve color purity, luminous efficiency, and stability. Generally, an EL device having excellent luminous characteristics has a structure comprising a light-emitting layer formed by doping a dopant to a host. Since host and dopant materials greatly influence the efficiency and lifespan of the EL device when using a dopant/host material system, their selection is important.
Due to a spin rule based on quantum mechanics, singlet excitons and triplet excitons are formed at a rate of 25%:75% in an organic electroluminescent device. Making use of singlet excitons is a fluorescent dopant. Theoretically, a fluorescent dopant is known to have a limit of 25% for an internal quantum efficiency of an organic electroluminescent device. On the contrary, since a phosphorescent dopant based on a metal complex using Ir, etc., emits light by making use of triplet excitons, the internal quantum efficiency can be up to 100%. However, the metal complex such as Ir has a high price and limited reserves. Thus, development of an alternative dopant is urgent.
Accordingly, a luminous material using delayed fluorescence is being developed recently as a luminous material of high efficiency, of which the internal quantum efficiency can exceed 25%, i.e. the limited efficiency of a fluorescent dopant material without using a metal complex as in a phosphorescent dopant material.
Normally, light-emission is completed within a short time of 100 ns or shorter in fluorescence. A fluorescence which continues to emit light for a much longer time of μs units or longer is called delayed fluorescence. Delayed fluorescence is classified to P-type and E-type according to light-emitting mechanism. The P-type delayed fluorescence cannot provide an internal quantum efficiency of 100% since it occurs through triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA). Since the E-type delayed fluorescence is activated by heat energy, it is known as thermally activated delayed fluorescence. According to E-type delayed fluorescence, when the difference between the energy of singlet exciton state and the energy of triplet exciton state (ΔEST) is low, preferably when lower than 0.2 eV, the singlet exciton emits light as normal, i.e. fluorescence, and the triplet exciton emits light by reverse-intersystem crossing to a singlet exciton, i.e. delayed fluorescence. Hence, in the E-type delayed fluorescence, since a light-emission of a delayed fluorescence is added to a light-emission of a fluorescent mechanism, it is regarded that increasing the internal quantum efficiency to 100% would be possible. In addition, even at a low temperature of lower than 100°C, when using a compound emitting strong fluorescence and delayed fluorescence, a triplet exciton can be sufficiently subjected to reverse-intersystem crossing to a singlet exciton from the heat occurred from the device, thereby emitting light by delayed fluorescence. Thus, the luminous efficiency can be rapidly increased. However, the light-emitting compounds of delayed fluorescence reported until now still have high ΔEST. Thus, it is difficult to obtain high luminous efficiency.
Korean Patent No. 1317923, Korean Patent Application Laying-Open Nos. 2014-0064655 and 2015-0009512, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014-0131665, and International Publication No. WO 2014/092083 disclose compounds comprising a nitrogen-containing heteroaryl such as triazine or an amine as luminescent compounds for delayed fluorescence. However, these compounds still show low luminous efficiency.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a luminescent material for delayed fluorescence, which can produce an organic electroluminescent device having long lifespan, low driving voltage, high color purity, and significantly improved luminous efficiency such as current efficiency. Another objective is to provide an organic electroluminescent device comprising the luminescent material for delayed fluorescence.
The present inventors found that the objective above can be achieved by a compound represented by the following formula 1 as a luminescent material for delayed fluorescence which shows excellent luminous efficiency. Accordingly, the present invention provides the luminescent material for delayed fluorescence comprising the compound represented by the following formula 1 as an embodiment.

Example 1: Preparation of an OLED device using the luminescent material
for delayed fluorescence according to the present invention
An OLED device was produced using the luminescent material of 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 was subjected to an ultrasonic washing with trichloroethylene, acetone, ethanol, and distilled water, sequentially, and then was stored in isopropanol. The ITO substrate was then mounted on a substrate holder of a vacuum vapor depositing apparatus. HIL-1 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.
