Description

印刷组合物及其应用 技术领域
本发明涉及有机电致发光技术领域,特别是涉及一种印刷组合物及其应用。
背景技术
作为新一代显示技术的有机发光二极管(OLED)是用蒸镀方法制备的,其制备过程中涉及大量的真空制程,材料利用率低,同时需要精细掩模(FMM),成本较高,同时良率低。为了解决上述问题,采用印刷工艺实现高分辨全彩色显示的技术越来越受到关注。例如,喷墨打印能够大面积低成本地制备功能材料薄膜,相比传统的半导体生产工艺,喷墨打印低能耗,耗水量少,绿色环保,是具有极大的优势和潜力的生产技术。另一种新型显示技术,量子点发光二极管(QLED),无法蒸镀,必须以印刷的方法制备。因此,实现印刷显示,必须突破印刷油墨及相关印刷工艺等关键问题。粘度和表面张力是影响印刷油墨及打印过程的重要参数。一种有前景的印刷墨水需要具备适当的粘度和表面张力。
有机半导体材料由于其溶液加工性,在电子和光电子器件中的应用已获得了广泛的关注并取得了显著的进展。溶液加工性使得有机功能材料可以通过一定的涂覆和印刷技术在器件中形成该功能材料的薄膜。这样的技术可以有效降低电子和光电子器件的加工成本,且满足大面积制备的工艺需求。目前,已有数家公司报道了用于打印的有机半导体材料油墨,例如:KATEEVA,INC公开了一种用于可印刷OLED的基于酯类溶剂的有机小分子材料油墨(US2015044802A1);UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION公开了一种可印刷的基于芳族酮或芳族醚类溶剂的有机小分子材料油墨(US20120205637);SEIKO EPSON CORPORATION公开了可印刷的基于取代的苯衍生物溶剂的有机聚合物材料油墨。其它的涉及有机功能材料的印刷油墨的例子有:CN102408776A、CN103173060A、CN103824959A、CN1180049C、CN102124588B、US2009130296A1、US2014097406A1等。
另一类可适合于印刷的功能材料是无机纳米材料,特别是量子点。量子点是具有量子限制效应的纳米尺寸的半导体材料,当受到光或电的刺激,量子点会发出具有特定能量的荧光,荧光的颜色(能量)由量子点的化学组成和尺寸形状决定。因此,对量子点尺寸形状的控制能有效调控其电学和光学性质。目前,各国都在研究量子点在全彩方面的应用,主要集中在显示领域。最近,量子点作为发光层的电致发光器件(QLED)得到了迅速发展,器件寿命得到很大的提高,如Peng等,在Nature Vol515 96(2015)及Qian等,在Nature Photonics Vol 9 259(2015)中所报道的。目前,已有数家公司报道了用于打印的量子点油墨:英国纳米技术有限公司(Nanoco Technologies Ltd)公开了一种包含纳米粒子的可印刷的油墨制剂的方法(CN101878535B)。通过选用合适的溶剂,比如甲苯和十二烷硒醇,得到了可印刷的纳米粒子油墨及相应的包含纳米粒子的薄膜;三星(Samsung Electronics)公开了一种用于喷墨打印的量子点油墨(US8765014B2)。这种油墨包含一定浓度的量子点材料、有机溶剂和具有高粘度的醇类聚合物 添加剂。通过打印该油墨得到了量子点薄膜,并制备了量子点电致发光器件;QD视光(QD Vision,Inc.)公开了一种量子点的油墨制剂,包含一种主体材料、一种量子点材料和一种添加剂(US2010264371A1)。
其它的涉及量子点印刷油墨的专利有:US2008277626A1,US2015079720A1,US2015075397A1,TW201340370A,US2007225402A1,US2008169753A1,US2010265307A1,US2015101665A1,WO2008105792A2。在这些已公开的专利中,为了调控油墨的物理参数,这些量子点油墨都包含有其它的添加剂,如醇类聚合物。具有绝缘性质的聚合物添加剂的引入往往会降低薄膜的电荷传输能力,对器件的光电性能具有负面影响,限制了其在光电器件中的广泛应用。
此外,在喷墨打印干燥成膜的过程中,经常性的伴随有“咖啡环效应”,即溶质材料容易向液滴边缘沉积,造成干燥后的薄膜出现边缘厚中心薄的形貌。这是因为在干燥过程中,溶剂主要从液滴边缘开始挥发,溶液体积变化则主要发生在液滴中心,继而导致溶液由中心向边缘流动。由此得到的厚度不均匀的薄膜对光电器件的进一步加工和器件性能都是十分不利的。因此,寻求一种合适的溶剂体系,降低喷墨打印薄膜的“咖啡环效应”,对改善薄膜的均匀性及器件的性能都显得尤为重要。

除非另有定义,本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本发明的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同。本文中在本发明的说明书中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施例的目的,不是旨在于限制本发明。本文所使用的术语“和/或”包括一个或多个相关的所列项目的任意的和所有的组合。
在本发明中,印刷组合物和印刷油墨,或油墨具有相同的含义,它们之间可以互换。
本发明提供一种印刷组合物,包含有至少一种功能材料和至少两种有机溶剂(第一溶剂和第二溶剂),所述第一溶剂的沸点T1小于所述第二溶剂的沸点T2,所述第一溶剂的表面张力δ1大于所述第二溶剂的表面张力δ2,且δ1-δ2≥2dyne/cm,T1≥160℃。两种有机溶剂可从溶剂体系中蒸发,以形成包含功能材料的薄膜。
在某些实施例中,所述的两种有机溶剂中的至少一种的沸点≥180℃;在某些实施例中,所述的两种有机溶剂中的至少一种的沸点≥200℃;在一些优选实施例中,所述的两种有机溶剂中的至少一种的沸点≥225℃;在另一些优选实施例中,所述的两种有机溶剂中的至少一种的沸点≥250℃或≥275℃;在某些实施例中,所述的两种有机溶剂中的至少一种的沸点≥300℃。
在某些实施例中,所述的两种有机溶剂的沸点都≥160℃;在某些优选实施例中,所述的两 种有机溶剂的沸点都≥180℃;在另一些优选实施例中,所述的两种有机溶剂的沸点都≥200℃;在另一些更加优选实施例中,所述的两种有机溶剂的沸点都≥250℃或275℃;在某些实施例中,所述的两种有机溶剂的沸点甚至都≥300℃。
这些范围内的沸点对防止喷墨印刷头的喷嘴堵塞是有益的。
在某些优先的实施例中,按照本发明的组合物,包含的至少两种的有机溶剂,其表面张力@25℃,都在19dyne/cm到50dyne/cm范围。
合适的印刷组合物的表面张力参数适合于特定的基板和特定的印刷方法。例如对喷墨印刷,在一个优选的实施例中,所述的两种有机溶剂在25℃下的表面张力约在19dyne/cm到50dyne/cm范围;在一个更为优选的实施例中,所述的两种有机溶剂在25℃下的表面张力约在22dyne/cm到35dyne/cm范围;在一个最为优选的实施例中,所述的两种有机溶剂在25℃下的表面张力约在25dyne/cm到33dyne/cm范围。
在一个优选的实施例中,按照本发明的组合物在25℃下的表面张力约在19dyne/cm到50dyne/cm范围;更好是在22dyne/cm到35dyne/cm范围;最好是在25dyne/cm到33dyne/cm范围。
在某些优先的实施例中,按照本发明的组合物,包含的至少两种的有机溶剂,其粘度@25℃,都在1cPs到100cPs范围。
在一个优选的实施例中,所述的至少两种有机溶剂的粘度低于100cps;更优的为低于50cps;最优的为1.5到20cps。
粘度还可以通过组合物中功能材料的浓度进行调节。按照本发明的包含有至少两种有机溶剂的溶剂体系可方便人们将印刷油墨按照所用的印刷方法在适当的范围调节。一般地,按照本发明的组合物包含的功能材料的重量比为0.3%~30wt%范围,较好的为0.5%~20wt%范围,更好的为0.5%~15wt%范围,最好的为0.5%~10wt%范围。
在一个优选的实施例中,按照本发明的印刷组合物在上述配比下,在25℃的粘度约在1cps到100cps范围;更好是在1cps到50cps范围;最好是在1.5cps到20cps范围。这里的粘度是指在印刷时的环境温度下的粘度,一般在15-30℃,较好的是18-28℃,更好是20-25℃,最好是23-25℃。如此配制的印刷组合物将特别适合于喷墨印刷。
满足上述沸点及表面张力参数及粘度参数的包含至少两种有机溶剂的溶剂体系获得的组合物便于形成具有均匀厚度及组成性质的功能材料薄膜。
在一个优选的实施例中,所述印刷组合物,包含至少两种有机溶剂,其中第一溶剂占溶剂总重量的50%~80%,第二溶剂占溶剂总重量的20%~50%,且第二溶剂具有比第一溶剂更高的沸点和更小的表面张力。
本发明采用双溶剂体系配制功能材料的印刷油墨。在一个优选的实施方案中,首先选取对功能材料具有良好溶解性的溶剂作为第一溶剂,良好的溶解性保证功能材料在溶液中的良好分散和高稳定性。第一溶剂作为双溶剂体系的主体,占溶剂总量的50%~80%。优选地,第一溶剂占溶剂总量的50%以上;更为优选地,第一溶剂占溶剂总量的60%以上;最为优选地,第一溶 剂占溶剂总量的70%以上。所述的第一溶剂具有较高的沸点,这对防止喷墨印刷头的喷嘴堵塞是有益的,同时保证喷射过程的稳定性。其次选取一种第二溶剂,第二溶剂要具有比第一溶剂更高的沸点和更小的表面张力。第二溶剂占溶剂总重量的20%~50%。优选地,第二溶剂占溶剂总重量的50%以下;更为优选地,第二溶剂占溶剂总重量的40%以下;最为优选地,第二溶剂占溶剂总重量的30%以下。将油墨喷射到基板后,在其干燥的过程中,溶液液滴表面可形成由边缘向中心表面张力增加的趋势,由此驱动表面溶液由边缘向中心流动。这与溶液内部由中心向边缘的流动形成环形的对流。这样的环形对流对干燥过程中功能材料的均匀分布是有益的,能有效降低功能材料在边缘的沉积,减弱“咖啡环效应”,使干燥后的功能材料薄膜具有良好的均匀性和平整性。在某些实施例中,第二溶剂的沸点比第一溶剂至少高5℃,较好是至少高10℃,更好是至少高20℃,更更好是至少高30℃,最好是至少高40℃。
为了实现上述的环形对流,两种有机溶剂其表面张力差至少为2dyne/cm;在一个优选的实施例中,两种有机溶剂其表面张力差至少为3dyne/cm;在一个更优的实施例中,两种有机溶剂其表面张力差至少为4dyne/cm;在一个非常优的实施例中,两种有机溶剂其表面张力差至少为5dyne/cm;在一个最优的实施例中,两种有机溶剂其表面张力差至少为6dyne/cm。

5.热激活延迟荧光发光材料(TADF):
传统有机荧光材料只能利用电激发形成的25%单线态激子发光,器件的内量子效率较低(最高为25%)。尽管磷光材料由于重原子中心强的自旋-轨道耦合增强了系间穿越,可以有效利用电激发形成的单线态激子和三线态激子发光,使器件的内量子效率达到100%。但磷光材料昂贵,材料稳定性差,器件效率滚降严重等问题限制了其在OLED中的应用。热激活延迟荧光发光材料是继有机荧光材料和有机磷光材料之后发展的第三代有机发光材料。该类材料一般具有小的单线态-三线态能级差(ΔEst),三线态激子可以通过反系间穿越转变成单线态激子发光。这可以 充分利用电激发下形成的单线态激子和三线态激子。器件内量子效率可达到100%。
TADF材料需要具有较小的单线态-三线态能级差,一般是ΔEst<0.3eV,较好是ΔEst<0.2eV,更好是ΔEst<0.1eV,最好是ΔEst<0.05eV。在一个优先的实施方案中,TADF有较好的荧光量子效率。一些TADF发光的材料可在下述专利文件中找到:CN103483332(A),TW201309696(A),TW201309778(A),TW201343874(A),TW201350558(A),US20120217869(A1),WO2013133359(A1),WO2013154064(A1),Adachi,et.al.Adv.Mater.,21,2009,4802,Adachi,et.al.Appl.Phys.Lett.,98,2011,083302,Adachi,et.al.Appl.Phys.Lett.,101,2012,093306,Adachi,et.al.Chem.Commun.,48,2012,11392,Adachi,et.al.Nature Photonics,6,2012,253,Adachi,et.al.Nature,492,2012,234,Adachi,et.al.J.Am.Chem.Soc,134,2012,14706,Adachi,et.al.Angew.Chem.Int.Ed,51,2012,11311,Adachi,et.al.Chem.Commun.,48,2012,9580,Adachi,et.al.Chem.Commun.,48,2013,10385,Adachi,et.al.Adv.Mater.,25,2013,3319,Adachi,et.al.Adv.Mater.,25,2013,3707,Adachi,et.al.Chem.Mater.,25,2013,3038,Adachi,et.al.Chem.Mater.,25,2013,3766,Adachi,et.al.J.Mater.Chem.C.,1,2013,4599,Adachi,et.al.J.Phys.Chem.A.,117,2013,5607,特此将上述列出的专利或文章文件中的全部内容并入本文作为参考。
