Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of organic electroluminescent materials, and relates to a class of chiral liquid crystal fluorescent materials, mainly to a class of chiral liquid crystal fluorescent materials with binaphthol as a chiral center, biphenyl-based mesogen units as flexible alkyl chains, diphenyl sulfone or cyano as electron acceptors, and aromatic amine derivatives as electron donors, and their applications in organic electroluminescent devices. Background Art

[0002] The development of OLED luminescent materials has gone through the development of the first generation of traditional fluorescence, the second generation of phosphorescence, and the third generation of thermally activated delayed fluorescence and thermal exciton luminescent materials. Due to the limitation of spin statistics, the exciton utilization rate of traditional fluorescent materials is only 25%. Phosphorescent materials based on precious metal complexes can also emit light through radiation transitions due to the spin-orbit coupling effect, and the exciton utilization rate can reach 100%. However, phosphorescent materials still face problems such as high material cost and short life of blue light devices.

[0003] In this context, the Adachi group proposed TADF materials with reverse intersystem crossing between the lowest singlet (S1) and triplet (T1) excited states, while Professor Ma Yuguang et al. proposed hot exciton materials with high-energy triplet anti-intersystem crossing characteristics. Both can achieve 100% exciton utilization and have received widespread attention. However, it is difficult for hot exciton materials to be applied to daily display fields simply by improving exciton utilization. Because most current display devices require the use of anti-glare filters, including linear polarizers (LP) and quarter-wave plates (QWP) to limit the reflection of external light. The use of this type of filter also means the loss of up to 50% of the electroluminescence generated by the OLED. Therefore, these challenges have prompted the study of a new generation of devices, in which CP-OLEDs can directly emit circularly polarized light, thereby reducing or even eliminating these filters, which can improve image brightness at lower power consumption. And circularly polarized light also has its unique optical properties, such as optical data storage, 3D display, and bio-imaging. In addition, research by Beijing Tongren Hospital and other institutions has shown that watching circularly polarized light displays can effectively alleviate vision loss compared to traditional non-polarized light displays. This is because circularly polarized light is closer to natural light and can effectively reduce people's visual fatigue. In CP-OLEDs, chiral fluorescence, phosphorescence, TADF, and thermoexciton materials have all made great progress, but due to the shortcomings of 25% internal quantum yield of fluorescence and high pollution and high cost of phosphorescence, the research on chiral TADF and thermoexciton materials has attracted the most attention. In theory, there are two main strategies for the construction of chiral TADF and thermoexciton molecules. One is based on the inherent chiral TADF and thermoexciton chromophores (axial, planar or point chirality), and the other is to utilize the chiral perturbation of TADF or thermoexciton units. Although the former method usually gives a higher luminescence asymmetry factor (glum ) value, but it requires the resolution of the enantiomers by different methods (chiral HPLC or resolution by diastereoisomeric separation). In contrast, the latter strategy is based on synthesis, starting from commercially available enantiomeric products, which greatly facilitates their large-scale synthesis and application as emitting materials in OLEDs. However, the chiral TADF designed in this way, as well as the g of the hot excitons lum Usually small (usually 10 -3 ), so it is difficult to commercialize. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to further balance the g value and efficiency and obtain an efficient high-g value CP-OLED, the present invention uses binaphthol as a chiral source, aromatic amine derivatives as donors, diphenyl sulfone or cyano as an acceptor, and biphenyl-based mesogen units as peripheral flexible alkyl chains to construct chiral liquid crystal TADF and chiral liquid crystal thermoexciton luminescent materials. Liquid crystal is introduced into chiral TADF and chiral thermoexciton materials, carbazole is a donor, and cyano is an acceptor. The combination of the two is conducive to the separation of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest occupied molecular orbital (LUMO), further reducing the single-triplet energy range (ΔE ST ), which is conducive to the formation of TADF molecules. The potential energy of dimethylacridine is close to the local excited (LE) state, and its strong electron donating ability will form a charge transfer (CT) transition between the donor and the diphenyl sulfone acceptor, thereby forming a thermoexciton channel. The binaphthol unit is a relatively stable axial chirality source. And due to the vibration of too many flexible chains, it is conducive to suppressing the non-radiative transition of molecules and obtaining high-efficiency chiral liquid crystal thermoexciton materials. At the same time, the present invention also systematically studies the influence of different positions of donors and acceptors and the number of biphenyl-based mesogenic units on the photophysical properties of the material, which is of great significance for exploring efficient chiral liquid crystal thermoexciton materials.

[0005] In order to achieve the above technical purpose, the material synthesized by the present invention has the following structure:

[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide an application of a chiral liquid crystal fluorescent material as a dopant for an organic light emitting diode light emitting layer, thereby obtaining an organic light emitting diode with a maximum external quantum efficiency of >10%.

[0010] The structure of the organic light-emitting diode is: ITO / PEDOT:PSS / mCP:30wt%CzAcSF(R) / (S)-1 / TSPO1 / TmPyPB / LiF / Al.

[0011] The thickness of the light-emitting layer is 30 nm; the doping amount of the fluorescent material as a dopant is 0.5-1.5 wt%.

[0012] The technical advantages of this patent are:

[0013] 1. Introduce chiral units and liquid crystal primitives into fluorescent materials to construct a series of new chiral liquid crystal fluorescent materials; give them chirality and liquid crystal properties while maintaining the photophysical properties of the light-emitting units;

[0014] 2. The introduction of fluorine atoms into the liquid crystal unit is beneficial to suppress the non-radiative transition of molecules and improve the luminescence efficiency of chiral liquid crystal fluorescent materials;

[0015] 3. Using this new type of chiral liquid crystal fluorescent material as a dopant for the light-emitting layer, a highly efficient solution-processed electroluminescent device can be obtained, with a maximum external quantum efficiency exceeding 10%. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0062] Its synthetic route and method are the same as those of compound (R)-2, except that (R)-SM5 is replaced by (S)-SM5.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] The compound (R) / (S)-1 in Example 1 was heated at a rate of 20°C per minute in the range of 30-600°C under N2, and a thermogravimetric curve was obtained. Figure 1 It can be seen that the temperatures at which the compound (R) / (S)-1 decomposes to 5% are 384°C and 385°C, respectively.

Figure 6 It can be seen that the UV-visible absorption spectra of compounds (R) / (S)-1 and (R) / (S)-2 in solution have roughly two absorption peaks: the absorption peak at short wavelength (280nm) is mainly attributed to the π-π* transition absorption of the molecule; the absorption peak at long wavelength (310nm) is attributed to the charge transfer (ICT) transition absorption peak from the donor unit to the acceptor unit in the molecule. Figure 2As shown, the maximum emission peak of compound (R) / (S)-1 is 466 nm, which is in the blue light region; the emission peak of compound (R) / (S)-2 is 522 nm, which is in the green light region.

[0071] Example 6

[0072] The photoluminescence performance of the compound (R) / (S)-1 in Example 1 in different solutions was tested.

[0077] Example 9

[0078] Compound (R)-2 in Example 1 was tested under nitrogen atmosphere for its -5 M fluorescence lifetime in toluene solution, such as Fig.10 As shown, the delayed lifetime of (R)-2 is 53.7 μs after fitting, which is a long lifetime.

[0079] Example 10
