Description

一种有机电致发光器件 技术领域
本申请一般涉及照明领域,具体涉及OLED照明领域,尤其涉及一种有机电致发光器件。
背景技术
OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)是指有机半导体材料和发光材料在电场驱动下,通过载流子注入和复合导致发光的现象。其原理是用透明/半透明金属/金属氧化物电极和金属/金属氧化物电极分别作为器件的阳极和阴极,在外部电场驱动下,载子(电子和空穴)分别从阴极和阳极注入到电子和空穴传输功能层,电子和空穴分别经过电子和空穴传输功能层传递到发光层,并在发光材料中形成激子(exciton),激子中受限的电子-空穴复合后消失,能量以可见光的形式辐射(发光波长受限于发光材料特性)。辐射光可从透明/半透明电极侧观察到。此发光原理被大量应用在照明与显示屏上。
但多数有机材料对高能量光线敏感,一般环境中主要存在的高能量光线为发光能量落在2.8-4.1电子伏特的光线,OLED器件中部分材料有可能因为环境中的高能量光线进入而导致衰减,衰减的规则为:高能量光线的照度和照射时间量值的乘积接近一固定值。OLED照明应用上,把衰减达到原始亮度的某个比例会定义成OLED照明的寿命,如果OLED器件应用上(如车用或航空照明)会大量被高能量光线照射,则其中的高能量光线会加速屏体的老化,缩短其寿命。
针对上述问题,业界通常的做法有:在屏体外部制备能够阻挡高能量光线的组件,减少高能量光进入OLED器件,缓解其对器件的劣化,比如使用外部壳罩、抗紫外薄膜、反射层等,从而增加OLED屏体使用寿命。但这些做法无一例外都会引入新的材料或组件,增加工艺和成本,增大产品体积和重量,甚至带来新的产品隐患。

需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。下面将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本申请。
实施例一
请参考图1为本申请一种有机电致发光器件第一种实施例的结构示意图,在本实施例中,有机电致发光器件为OLED器件,包括依次叠加设置的基板10、第一电极20、空穴传输功能层30、发光层40、电子传输功能层50、第二电极60和封装结构(图中未画出);所述空穴传输功能层30、发光层40和电子传输功能层50形成OLED器件的有机层;所述有机电致发光器件的出光面在第一电极20一侧,第一电极20与发光层40之间设置有高能量光线牺牲层(设置在图中画斜杆的层内),高能量光线牺牲层由空穴传输功能层30作为掺杂主体掺杂吸光材料形成;如图2所示,在本实施例中,空穴传输功能层30包括空穴注入层HI 31、空穴传输层HT32和空穴阻挡层HBL,高能量光线牺牲层33由掺杂有吸光材料80的空穴阻挡层HBL组成。

上述光致发光材料的能隙高于所述发光层材料能隙且低于所述高能量光线传输层的掺杂主体材料的能隙;上述光致发光材料在吸收高能量光线后会成为激发状态,从激发态转换回基态的时候,会以发光形式释放能量,此机制称为光致发光,由于光致发光是吸收高能量光线,光致发光材料发出的光线由该光致发光材料的特性决定,上述光致发光材料吸收高能量光线后释放的光线为波长介于500-700nm的浅蓝-绿-黄-红的可见光波段,因此高能量光线牺牲层也可以称为色转换层;多数OLED器件发光波段介于450nm-700nm的可光波段;而由于光致发光材料的能隙低于发光层材料的能隙,因此OLED所发出的光线是不会被该光致发光材料(色转换层)吸收。
所述光致发光材料在所述高能量光线牺牲层中的体积百分比为10%,在其他实施例中,所述光致发光材料在所述高能量光线牺牲层中的体积百分比为大于等于0.1%小于等于15%中的其他数值。

高能量光线牺牲层在电驱动下有可能会发光,为了避免这种情况出现,在高能量光线牺牲层与发光层之间放置有第一附加功能层70,所述第一附加功能层70的材料与所述高能量光线牺牲层的主体材料具有相同的电荷传输特性;如此可保证高能量光线牺牲层内只有单一种类载子(电子或空穴),可以达到避免电致发光的效果。
主体材质相同的概念为,具有相同的电荷传输特性;在本实施例 中,由于吸光材料掺杂在空穴传输功能层中,所以第一附加功能层70采用空穴传输功能材料制成即可,例如可以是不同类型的HBL,例如HBL1、HBL2、或HBL3……。

电子传输功能层50由电子注入层EI 51、电子传输层ET 52和空穴阻挡层HBL53组成;如图4所示,吸光材料80掺杂在空穴阻挡层53中,高能量光线牺牲层为掺杂有吸光材料80的空穴阻挡层HBL53组成;第一附加功能层70的材料也为HBL。
实施例三
请参考图5为本申请一种有机电致发光器件第三种实施例的结构示意图,和实施例二区别的是,在本实施例中OLED为顶面发光型的,电子传输功能层50设置在发光层40和第二电极60之间;此时高能量光线牺牲层即为电子传输功能层50中掺杂吸光材料形成,第一附加功能层70也相应地设置在电子传输功能层50和发光层40之间。
实施例四
请参考图6为本申请一种有机电致发光器件第四种实施例的结构示意图,和实施例三一样,本实施例中的OLED也是顶面发光型的,区别的是,在本实施例中空穴传输功能层30设置在发光层40和第二电极60之间;此时高能量光线牺牲层即为空穴传输功能层30中掺杂吸光材料形成,第一附加功能层70也相应地设置在空穴传输功能层30和发光层40之间。

实施例五
如图7所示,在实施例一的基础上,将吸光材料80单独设立出来形成单独的一层吸光材料层81,且吸光材料层81位于发光层与空穴阻挡层HBL之间。
实施例六
如图8所示,在实施例五的基础上,在本实施例中,将吸光材料层81设置在空穴注入层HI31和空穴传输层HT32之间。
在其他实施例中,吸光材料层81也可以设置在空穴阻挡层HBL与空穴传输层HT32之间。因此本申请的高能量光线牺牲层的定义为:掺杂有吸光材料的空穴传输功能层的分层或,掺杂有吸光材料的电子传输功能层的分层或,吸光材料层及与其相邻的且靠近发光层一侧的空穴传输功能层的分层的叠加层或,吸光材料层及和其相邻的且靠近发光层一侧的电子传输功能层的分层叠加层。
实施例七
在实施例一的基础上,将实施例一中的吸光材料80由光致发光材料替换为有色吸光材料,具体为2-(2’-羫基3’,5’-二特戊基苯基)苯并三唑;在其他实施例中,有色吸光材料例如可以是水杨酸酯类、二苯甲酮类、苯并三唑类、取代丙烯腈类、三嗪类、直接染料、碱性染料、酸性染料、分散染料、活性染料、硫化染料、还原染料、阳离子染料中的至少一种。
直接染料例如为二氨基二苯乙烯二磺酸类、4.4`-二氨基二苯脲类、4.4`-二氨基苯甲酰替苯胺类、4.4`-二氨基苯磺酰替苯胺类、二氨基杂环类等类型的染料,具体例如为2-(2’-羫基3’,5’-二特戊基苯基)苯并三唑,2-羫基-4-正辛氧基二苯甲酮;酸性染料例如为溴氨酸衍生物等;有色吸光材料为有色染料,可以被定义为紫外线/近紫外/蓝光吸收剂,因为主要吸收波段落于紫外/近紫外/深蓝光波段,因此在颜色上会出现绿色半透明状/黄色半透明状/红色半透明状的视觉外观,有色吸光材料可以让450nm以下波短高能光线大部分(大于60%)被吸收,而界于 450-500nm的蓝光波段部分被吸收的比例介于30%-60%,而对于500nm-750nm(该波段也为发光层的发光的波段)的区间光波段穿透度在80%以上,即被吸收的比例在20%以下。
优选地,在本实施例中,有色吸光材料在所述高能量光线牺牲层中的体积百分比为5%,在其他实施例中所述有色吸光材料在所述高能量光线牺牲层中的体积百分比也可以是大于等于0.1%小于等于10%的其他数值。
实施例八
在实施例一的基础上,在实施例一中的高能量光线牺牲层中进一步加入包括激子淬灭材料,此时激子淬灭材料用作第二附加功能材料,掺入在空穴传输功能层中,用于提升电荷传输能力;所述激子淬灭材料例如可以是碱金属族离子化合物、金属盐类、金属氧化物、金属、高电子亲和力有机材料或有机金属错合物、碳材中的至少一种,所述激子淬灭材料也可以是其他具有激子淬灭功能的材料。
在其他实施例中,激子淬灭材料也可以单独形成一层。
由于在发光材料被高能量光线照射成为激发态时,能量除了以发光的形式消失以外,还有可能利用能量传递的方式把能量给发光材料(位于发光层内)周围的主体材料(例如电子传输功能层或空穴传输功能层内的材料),此机制也有可能造成主体吸光材料(空穴/电子传递或注入材料)加速裂解造成性能下降,因此在该高能量光线牺牲层中加入至少一种激子淬灭材料,将处于激发态的发光材料在微秒(us)或更短的时间内发生淬灭,有助于缩短所有发光材料处于不稳定激发态的时间,也即增加了发光材料的寿命,从而提高了有机电致发光器件的寿命。
激子淬灭材料可以为碱金属族离子化合物、金属盐类、金属氧化物、金属、高电子亲和力有机材料或有机金属错合物、碳材中的至少一种,碱金属族离子化合物即盐类,例如可以是氟化锂LiF,氯化钠NaCl,氟化铯CsF等;金属盐类,例如可以是Liq,Alq 2等;Liq的化学式为8-hydroxyquinolato-lithium,为一种有机金属错合物;金属氧化物例如可以是MoO 3氧化钼,WO 3氧化钨,Al 2O 3氧化铝;金属材料例如 可以是Al铝,Ag银,Au金,Li锂,Cs铯…;有机金属错合物例如F4-TCNQ,F16-CuPc,HAT-CN,Pentacene,NDP-9、等;碳材例如可是C60,Graphene石墨烯、奈米碳管、富勒烯等;高电子亲和力有机材料例如可以是F4-TCNQ、Liq(8-hydroxy-quinolinato lithium),F4-TCNQ的化学式为四氰二甲基对苯醌,Liq为8羟基喹啉锂;同时上述激子淬灭材料还有助于提升主体材料的空穴或电子传输能力。
优选地,所述激子淬灭材料与所述高能量光线牺牲层的主体材料满足以下能量要求:所述主体材料的最高占据分子轨道与所述有机材料及有机金属错合物最低未占分子轨道的差距小于等于0.6eV;所述碱金属族离子化合物、金属盐类、金属氧化物、金属、碳材的功函数低于有色吸光材料的最低未占分子轨道0.2eV以上。
上述激子淬灭材料与高能量光线牺牲层的主体材料在满足上述能量后会形成所谓的电荷交换复合体(charge transfer complex)或激基复合物(exciplex);上述状态的改变可以改变主体材料的光学隙,如高电子亲和力有机材料或有机金属错合物(F4-TCNQ,F16-CuPc,HAT-CN,Pentacene,NDP-9等)与空穴传输材料NPB(N,N'-Bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)-benzidine)、m-MTDATA(4,4',4"-Tris(N-3-methylphenyl-N-phenyl-amino)triphenylamine)之间就具有调节光学能隙的作用;降低掺杂主体材料的能隙,使得材料状态更稳定,空穴传输材料NPB为空穴传输功能层的主体材料。

在实施例七的基础上,在实施例七中的高能量光线牺牲层中进一步加入包括激子淬灭材料,此时激子淬灭材料用作第二附加功能材料,掺入在空穴传输功能层中,用于提升电荷传输能力;激子淬灭材料的选择可同实施例八。在本实施例中,所述激子淬灭材料在所述高能量光线牺牲层中的体积百分比为10%,在其他实施例中激子淬灭材料在所述高能量光线牺牲层中的体积百分比也可以是大于等于2%小于等于15%中的其他数值。
实施例十
在实施例一的基础上,将实施例一中的吸光材料80由光致发光材料替换为激子淬灭材料;激子淬灭材料的选择同实施例八。在本实施例中,所述激子淬灭材料在所述高能量光线牺牲层中的体积百分比为8%,在其他实施例中激子淬灭材料在所述高能量光线牺牲层中的体积百分比也可以是大于等于2%小于等于15%中的其他数值。
综上实施例所述,本申请中吸光材料可以是光致发光材料、有色吸光材料或者激子淬灭材料中的至少一种,在本方案里,“吸光材料”定义为可以吸收高能量光线的材料;所述吸光材料在所述高能量光线牺牲层中的体积百分比大于等于0.1%小于等于30%。

综上实施例所述,上述第一附加功能层70采用所述高能量光线牺牲层的主体材料或功能类似材料制成,主体材质相同的概念为,具有相同的电荷传输特性:
如吸光材料掺杂在空穴传输功能层的空穴传输层HT中时或者吸光材料层与空穴传输层HT相邻时,则第一附加功能层70的材料为能实现空穴传输功能的材料即可,例如可以是不同类型的HT,例如HT1、HT2、或HT3……;

图10为对照组1与实验组1和实验组2器件寿命的对比图,此图是在特定亮度条件下长时间点亮,在不同的时间测量亮度率减的情况,图10中纵坐标为亮度值,从图10可以看出,在相同的时间,实验组1 和实验组2中的亮度都比对照组1更亮,这就说明了实验组1和实验组2的亮度衰减是比对照组1更慢的,也就是说实验组1和实验组2的使用寿命比对照组1长。

表9
激子淬灭材料一般具有提升电荷传输能力的作用,本实验组中的激子淬灭材料一般用于提升电荷传输能力,在本技术领域中,用于提升电荷传输能力的材料的掺杂浓度一般在2%左右即可显著提高电荷传输能力。
本实验中发现进一步提高提升电荷传输能力的材料,也即激子淬灭材料的浓度,例如将该浓度提升到2-10%范围内的时候,对OLED屏体的光电传输性能影响在10%以下,但是对于电荷传输能力提升至少两个数量级;并且,上述实验组10至实验组13中,利用光学能隙约在2.91电子伏特的空穴传输材料m-TDATA掺混高电子亲和力材料F4-TCNQ得到空穴传输功能层,F4-TCNQ浓度约2-10%;当空穴传输功能层为m-TDATA:F4-TCNQ(20%,150nm)结构的时候,其光学能隙经计算从2.91降至2.55电子伏特,目测该模层从接近透明转为淡黄,制作器件后比较辐照下特性,该屏体在1000W/m^2(波长位于300-400nm的紫外线强度为30W/m^2)的模拟太阳光原照射存储,屏体稳定性明显改善,电压基本上在测量时间内可达成无变化的显著改善。也即本实验组表明,在空穴传输功能层或者电子传输功能层单独掺杂高浓度的激子淬灭材料(电荷传输特性提升材料)不仅可以起到激子淬灭的作用,还可以起到电荷提升的作用,并且多余的吸光材料还可以进一步起到阻挡高能量光线的作用。
掺杂的激子淬灭材料使得被掺杂的电子传输功能层和空穴传输功能层内存在大量电荷,而发光层理论上存在大量激子,激子主导发光效率与发光特性,然而激子很容易与电荷交互作用,此交互作用很容易造成激子焠灭;激子容易与电荷交互作用,但激子的形成也是从电荷开始(空穴与电子分别进入发光层,电子与空穴复合发光前的激发状态称为激子),因此第一附加功能层与电子传输功能层或空穴传输功能层具备相同的载流子输特性,但特性比掺杂层差,这样可以让电荷的堆积出现在高能量光线牺牲层与第一附加功能层的接触面,同时又能供应发光层所需的电荷产生激子,因为第一附加功能层的分隔,可 以有效减少激子与电荷的交互作用造成的焠灭效应。因此本申请的上述实施例中设计的第一附加功能层也可以叫保护层,其内的载流子传输特性与其所掺杂在的传输功能层的载流子传输特性一致时,可减少电荷与激子交互作用;还可限制激子停留在发光层内,避免了淬灭现象的发生。

在本申请的技术方案中,光致发光材料和有色吸光材料也可以同时使用在高能量光线牺牲层中,例如在实验组14的HT:2-(2’-羫基3’,5’-二特戊基苯基)苯并三唑(20nm)层中再加入荧光染料,或者在实验组16的HT:2-(2’-羫基3’,5’-二特戊基苯基)苯并三唑(20nm)再加入磷光染料。

例如可以使用业界常用的空穴注入材料搭配惯用商用材料NDP-9与荧光材料Rubrene进行共蒸镀完成空穴传输端的高能量光线牺牲层,该高能量光线牺牲层采用吸收辐照阻挡高能量光线并改善空穴传输能力的方式;
也可以使用常见电子传输材料Bphen与特定比例金属银进行共蒸镀完成电子传输端的高能量光线牺牲层设计;该高能量光线牺牲层采用Bphen与银错合物提升电子传输特性,且部分银原子未与有机分子反应,具有吸收光辐照能力。
