Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of organic light-emitting materials, and particularly relates to a dendritic sensitizer and an electroluminescent device thereof. Background Art

[0002] Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have the characteristics of being lightweight, low in energy consumption, rich in colors, wide in viewing angle, and capable of fabricating flexible and wearable devices, etc., and play a crucial role in the display field. OLEDs are usually composed of an indium tin oxide (ITO) anode, a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), a light-emitting layer (EL), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), an electron injection layer (EIL), and a cathode. According to needs, 1-2 organic layers can be omitted. By combining holes (Hole) and electrons (Electron) injected from the positive electrode and the negative electrode on the organic thin film to form excitons (Exciton), the excitons radiatively transition back to the ground state to achieve device luminescence.

[0003] According to the luminescence mechanism, luminescent materials can be mainly divided into three categories: fluorescent materials, phosphorescent materials, and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials. Among them, fluorescent materials have the advantages of high fluorescence quantum efficiency and high color purity. However, they can only utilize singlet excitons that account for 25% of all excitons, and the remaining 75% of triplet excitons are inactivated by non-radiative transitions. Therefore, the limit value of the internal quantum efficiency in the device is 25%. Due to the spin-orbit coupling effect of heavy metal atoms, phosphorescent materials can utilize triplet excitons, thereby achieving an internal quantum efficiency of 100%. However, their disadvantage is that expensive heavy metals (such as iridium and platinum, etc.) need to be used. TADF materials can utilize the fast reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process to convert triplet excitons into singlet excitons and emit light, breaking the theoretical limit of 25% of the internal quantum efficiency of traditional fluorescent materials, and being able to obtain an internal quantum efficiency of 100% in the device without using precious metals. However, their emission peaks are often relatively wide (70-100nm), resulting in low color purity.

[0004] Currently, developing OLEDs based on the idea of "thermally activated sensitized luminescence", that is, selecting dyes with narrow spectral bands (high color purity) and high fluorescence quantum efficiency as the light-emitting units, and TADF molecules with wide bandgaps and high reverse intersystem crossing rates as sensitizers, and using the energy transfer from the TADF sensitizer to the dye to transfer excitons to the dye for luminescence, can achieve the synergistic improvement of the exciton utilization rate and fluorescence quantum efficiency and the improvement of color purity, and is an important way to develop organic electroluminescent devices with both high device efficiency and high color purity. However, due to the lack of solution-processable sensitizers, this method is mainly applied to OLED devices in the vacuum evaporation process.

[0005] Therefore, how to develop a solution-processable TADF sensitizer suitable for thermally activated delayed fluorescence OLEDs through reasonable chemical structure design has become one of the urgent problems to be solved by many forward-looking researchers in the field. Summary of the Invention
