Description

materials for electronic devices

The present invention relates to materials for use in electronic devices, in particular in organic electroluminescent devices, and electronic devices, in particular organic electroluminescent devices containing these materials.

Electronic devices containing organic, organometallic and/or polymeric semiconductors are becoming increasingly important and are used in many commercial products for cost reasons and because of their performance. Examples are organic-based charge transport materials (e.g. triarylamine-based hole transporters) in copiers, organic or polymer light-emitting diodes (OLEDs or PLEDs) in display devices or organic photoreceptors in copiers. Organic solar cells (O-SC), organic field effect transistors (O-FET), organic thin-film transistors (O-TFT), organic switching elements (O-IC), organic optical amplifiers and organic laser diodes (O-lasers) are all in one advanced stage of development and may gain great importance in the future.

Electronic devices within the meaning of this invention are understood to mean organic electronic devices which contain organic semiconductor materials as functional materials. In particular, the electronic devices stand for electroluminescent devices such as OLEDs.

The construction of OLEDs in which organic compounds are used as functional materials is known to the person skilled in the art from the prior art. In general, OLEDs are electronic devices that have one or more layers that include organic compounds and emit light when a voltage is applied.

In electronic devices, especially OLEDs, there is a great need for performance data, especially lifespan, efficiency and improve operating voltage. No satisfactory solution has yet been found for these aspects.

Electronic devices usually comprise a cathode, an anode and at least one functional, preferably emissive, layer. In addition to these layers, they can also contain further layers, for example one or more hole injection layers, hole transport layers, hole blocking layers, electron transport layers, electron injection layers, exciton blocking layers, electron blocking layers and/or charge generation layers. .

Hole transport layers and electron transport layers have a major impact on the performance of electronic devices.

The object of the present invention is to provide compounds which are suitable for use in an electronic device, in particular an OLED, in particular as material for hole-transport layers or material for electron-transport layers, and lead to good properties there.

It has surprisingly been found that certain triptycenes, which are described in more detail below, solve this problem and are well suited for use in electronic devices, in particular OLEDs. In particular, the OLEDs have a long service life, high efficiency and a lower operating voltage. These compounds and electronic devices, in particular organic electroluminescent devices, which contain these compounds are therefore the subject matter of the present invention.

An aryl group within the meaning of this invention contains 6 to 40 carbon atoms; a heteroaryl group within the meaning of this invention contains 5 to 40 carbon atoms and at least one heteroatom, with the proviso that the sum of carbon atoms and heteroatoms is at least 5. The heteroatoms are preferably selected from N, O and/or S. An aryl group or heteroaryl group is either a simple aromatic cycle, ie benzene, or a simple heteroaromatic cycle, for example pyridine, pyrimidine, thiophene, etc., or one fused (fused) aryl or heteroaryl group, for example naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, quinoline, isoquinoline, etc. understood. On the other hand, aromatics linked to one another by a single bond, such as biphenyl, are not referred to as aryl or heteroaryl groups, but as aromatic ring systems.

An aromatic ring system within the meaning of this invention contains 6 to 60 carbon atoms, preferably 6 to 40 carbon atoms in the ring system. A heteroaromatic ring system within the meaning of this invention contains 1 to 60 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 40 carbon atoms and at least one heteroatom in the ring system, with the proviso that the sum of carbon atoms and heteroatoms is at least 5. The heteroatoms are preferably selected from N, O and/or S. An aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system in the context of this invention is to be understood as meaning a system which does not necessarily only contain aryl or heteroaryl groups, but also in which several aryl or heteroaryl groups a non-aromatic moiety (preferably less than 10% of the non-H atoms), such as e.g. B. a C, N or O atom or carbonyl group can be connected. Likewise below Systems are understood in which two or more aryl or heteroaryl groups are linked directly to each other, such as. B. biphenyl, terphenyl, bipyridine or phenylpyridine. For example, systems such as fluorene, 9,9'-spirobifluorene, 9,9-diarylfluorene, triarylamine, diaryl ether, stilbene, etc. should also be understood as aromatic ring systems for the purposes of this invention, and also systems in which two or more aryl groups, for example are linked by a linear or cyclic alkyl group or by a Si ly I group. Preferred aromatic or heteroaromatic ring systems are simple aryl or heteroaryl groups and groups in which two or more aryl or heteroaryl groups are linked directly to one another, for example biphenyl, terphenyl, quaterphenyl or bipyridine, and also fluorene or spirobifluorene.

An electron-rich heteroaromatic ring system is characterized in that it is a heteroaromatic ring system that does not contain any electron-deficient heteroaryl groups. An electron-deficient heteroaryl group is a six-membered-membered heteroaryl group containing at least one nitrogen atom or a five-membered-membered heteroaryl group containing at least two heteroatoms, one of which is a nitrogen atom and the other is oxygen, sulfur or a substituted nitrogen atom, further aryl or heteroaryl groups being attached to each of these groups can be condensed. In contrast, electron-rich heteroaryl groups are five-membered-membered heteroaryl groups with exactly one heteroatom selected from oxygen, sulfur or substituted nitrogen, to which further aryl groups and/or further electron-rich five-membered-membered heteroaryl groups can be fused. Thus, examples of electron-rich heteroaryl groups are pyrrole, furan, thiophene, indole, benzofuran, benzothiophene, carbazole, dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene or indenocarbazole. An electron-rich heteroaryl group is also referred to as an electron-rich heteroaromatic radical.

An electron-deficient heteroaromatic ring system is characterized as containing at least one electron-deficient heteroaryl group, and more preferably no electron-rich heteroaryl groups. In the context of the present invention, the term alkyl group is used as a generic term both for linear or branched alkyl groups and for cyclic alkyl groups. Analogously, the terms alkenyl group and alkynyl group are used as generic terms both for linear or branched alkenyl or alkynyl groups and for cyclic alkenyl or alkynyl groups.

A cyclic alkyl, alkoxy or thioalkoxy group in the context of this invention is understood as meaning a monocyclic, a bicyclic or a polycyclic group.

Cleaned glass plates (cleaning in a Miele laboratory dishwasher, Merck Extran cleaner), which are coated with structured ITO (indium tin oxide) with a thickness of 50 nm, are pretreated with UV ozone for 25 minutes (UV ozone generator PR-100, UVP company). These coated glass flakes form the substrates on which the OLEDs are applied.

1a) Blue fluorescence OLED devices - BF:

The compounds T according to the invention can be used in the electron transport layer (ETL) and the hole blocking layer (HBL). All materials are thermally evaporated in a vacuum chamber. The emission layer (EML) always consists of at least one matrix material (host material, host material) SMB (see Table 1) and an emitting dopant (dopant, emitter) D, which is added to the matrix material or matrix materials by co-evaporation in a certain volume fraction is added.

Analogously, the electron transport layer can also consist of a mixture of two materials, see Table 1. The materials used to produce the OLEDs are shown in Table 5.

The OLEDs are characterized by default. For this purpose, the electroluminescence spectra, the current efficiency (measured in cd/A), the power efficiency (measured in lm/W) and the external quantum efficiency (EQE, measured in percent) are calculated as a function of the luminance determined from current-voltage-luminance characteristics (IIIL characteristics) assuming a Lambertian emission characteristic and the service life. The EQE is specified in (%) and the voltage in (V) at a luminance of 1000 cd/m ² The service life is determined at an initial luminance of 10000 cd/m ² .

The emission layer always consists of at least one or more matrix materials M and a phosphorescent dopant Ir, which is admixed to the matrix material or matrix materials by co-evaporation in a certain proportion by volume. A specification such as M1 :M2:lr (55%:35%:10%) means that the material M1 accounts for 55% by volume, M2 for 35% by volume and Ir for 10% by volume in the layer present. Analogously, the electron transport layer can also consist of a mixture of two materials. The precise structure of the OLEDs can be found in Table 3. The materials used to fabricate the OLEDs are shown in Table 5.

The OLEDs are characterized by default. For this purpose, the electroluminescence spectra, the current efficiency (measured in cd/A), the power efficiency (measured in lm/W) and the external quantum efficiency (EQE, measured in percent) as a function of the luminance are calculated from current-voltage-luminance characteristics (IUL characteristics) assuming a Lambertian radiation characteristic and the service life.
