Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of OLED lighting, and in particular to a high-efficiency, long-life, dimmable organic light-emitting device and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] After achieving commercial success in display panels, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are expected to play a key role in the next generation of solid-state lighting and smart lighting due to their unique properties such as flexibility, ultra-thin thickness and light weight. In addition to the fixed chromaticity in ordinary lighting devices, there is a great demand for tunable chromaticity in certain applications such as smart lighting, decoration and plant growth lamps. Specifically, voltage-dependent, color-tunable OLEDs (CT-OLEDs) are an ideal tool for visualizing the electronic output signals of sensors (such as real-time wearable electrocardiogram monitors and electronic skin sensors). There are many disadvantages to using two or more emitters or three or more light-emitting layers or two or more sub-OLEDs to achieve color tunability. However, by simplifying the device structure so that only a single emitter is required, problems such as "color aging" that reduce device life due to different lifespans between different emitters can be avoided.
[0003] CN102280592A discloses an organic electroluminescent device that achieves adjustable luminescent color based on a single luminescent material. This device addresses the stability issues of existing organic electroluminescent white light devices. The device comprises an anode modification layer, prepared sequentially on ITO conductive glass, made of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonic acid); a luminescent layer; an electron transport layer, made of 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline; and a cathode modification layer, made of lithium fluoride or cesium carbonate and a metal cathode. The luminescent layer comprises bis(4,6-difluorophenylpyridine-N,C2) pyridinecarboxylate iridium:polyvinylcarbazole in a mixed ratio of 1% to 10% by mass, producing blue light; 30% to 60% by mass, producing bluish light; 65% to 80% by mass, producing greenish light; and 85% to 100% by mass, producing yellowish-green light.
[0004] CN116602071A discloses a color-tunable OLED with a long operating life, specifically a high-efficiency voltage-dependent color-tunable organic light-emitting diode with a single emitter, such as a tetradentate platinum (II) complex, which has a long operating life. High-performance voltage-dependent color-tunable OLEDs with a single Pt[O^N^C^N] emitter were fabricated. Depending on the emitter used, the emission color can be adjusted from warm white to natural white or from orange to yellow-green. The long-term operating stability and continuously variable color make these color-tunable OLEDs suitable for use in smart wearable devices.
[0005] CN110945669A discloses a color-tunable organic light-emitting diode device based on a single emitter and a method thereof. It describes methods for using and manufacturing voltage-dependent color-tunable OLED devices using a single platinum emitter. The platinum emitter can be a Pt(II) complex. The single platinum emitter is mixed with a host material in the emission layer of the OLED device. The emission layer can contain a single high-concentration emitter or can contain two sublayers, one with a low emitter concentration to produce monomeric emission and the other with a high emitter concentration to produce excimer emission. When a voltage is applied to the OLED, the device emits different colors. It also discloses devices containing platinum emitters and methods for manufacturing and using platinum emitters.
[0006] However, the existing OLED devices (or light emitting devices) still have many defects such as low efficiency, poor stability, and small dimming range that need to be solved. For example, for the device with Pt-X-4 used in CN116602071A, its LT 90@100nits The estimated lifetime is 19105 hours, which is relatively short, and the emitter used is Pt-X-4 (T d =430℃) has low thermal stability and is difficult to meet the requirements of practical applications.
[0007] In addition, on the one hand, there are differences in understanding among those skilled in the art; on the other hand, the applicant studied a large number of documents and patents when making the present invention, but due to space limitations, not all details and contents are listed in detail. However, this does not mean that the present invention does not have the characteristics of these prior arts. On the contrary, the present invention already has all the characteristics of the prior art, and the applicant reserves the right to add relevant prior art to the background technology.

[0036] According to a preferred embodiment, the first host material in the light-emitting layer is selected as Host1, and the second host material is selected as Host2, so that in the combined host materials, the LUMO energy level of Host1 is lower than the LUMO energy level of the light-emitting material tetra-Pt-dbf or tetra-Pt-dbt, or the difference between the LUMO energy level of Host1 and the LUMO energy level of the light-emitting material is less than 0.2 eV, wherein,

[0046]
[0047] Energy levels refer to the molecular orbital energy levels of organic molecules, which generally include HOMO and LUMO energy levels. The HOMO energy level refers to the energy level of the highest occupied molecular orbital, equivalent to the valence band in inorganic semiconductors; the LUMO energy level refers to the energy level of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, equivalent to the conduction band in inorganic semiconductors. The LUMO energy level of the host material in a typical OLED device is higher than the LUMO energy level of the light-emitting material. However, in the dual host materials used in the present invention, at least one host material has a LUMO energy level lower than or equivalent to the LUMO energy level of the light-emitting material. In particular, when the host materials of the light-emitting layer are a combination of Host1-1 and Host2-1, the LUMO energy level of Host1-1 is configured so that it is lower than or close to the LUMO energy level of the light-emitting material. This protects the excited state of the platinum complex light-emitting material, reduces the excited state electron density or the negative polaron density on the platinum complex molecule, prevents the platinum complex light-emitting molecule from being destroyed, and thus enhances the lifespan of the dimmable OLED device.
[0048] When the host material of the light-emitting layer is a combination of Host1-1 and Host2-1, the HOMO energy levels and LUMO energy levels of the two host materials tetra-Pt-dbf and tetra-Pt-dbt of the present invention and the above two light-emitting materials are shown in the following table:
[0049] HOMO LUMO Host1-1 --6.12eV -2.65eV Host2-1 -5.37eV -2.08eV Tetra-Pt-dbf -5.12eV -2.74eV Tetra-Pt-dbt -5.14eV -2.68eV
[0050] According to a preferred embodiment, when the main material of the light-emitting layer is selected as a combination of Host1 and Host2, the doping concentration of the light-emitting material tetra-Pt-dbf is limited to 4wt% to 20wt%, preferably 6wt% to 13wt%, so that the light-emitting device can emit light of different colors at at least two wavelengths; or the doping concentration of the light-emitting material tetra-Pt-dbt is limited to 6wt% to 10wt%, so that the light-emitting device can emit light of different colors at at least two wavelengths.
[0051] The present invention also discloses a high-efficiency, long-life, dimmable organic light-emitting device, comprising: a positive electrode and a negative electrode configured to have a driving voltage on the two electrodes; and a plurality of organic layers between the two electrodes, wherein at least one organic layer is a light-emitting layer, in which two or more host materials are mixed together and a light-emitting material is doped into the layer; the light-emitting material is a platinum complex having a monomer emission state and at least one aggregate emission state; the host material in the light-emitting layer is a combination of SF-BCZ and SF-TRZ, wherein SF-BCZ and SF-TRZ are respectively represented by the following chemical formulas:
[0052]
[0053] According to a preferred embodiment, in a light-emitting device in which the host material is a combination of SF-BCZ and SF-TRZ, the light-emitting material can be any one of the aforementioned light-emitting materials.
[0054] According to a preferred embodiment, when the main material of the light-emitting layer is selected as a combination of SF-BCZ and SF-TRZ, the doping concentration of the light-emitting material tetra-Pt-dbf or tetra-Pt-dbt is limited to 4wt% to 13wt%, so that the light-emitting device can emit light of different colors at at least two wavelengths.
[0055] According to a preferred embodiment, among the several organic layers between the two electrodes, at least one organic layer is a hole transport layer, at least one organic layer is an electron blocking layer, and at least one organic layer is an electron transport layer; at least one layer attached to the positive electrode is a hole injection layer; and at least one layer attached to the negative electrode is an electron injection layer.
[0056] According to a preferred embodiment, the material of the hole injection layer includes HAT-CN, the material of the hole transport layer includes one or more of TAPC, SF-BCZ, BPBPA, and FSF4A, the material of the electron blocking layer includes one or more of SF-TRZ and ANT-BIZ, the material of the electron transport layer includes DPPyA, ANT-BIZ or one of other materials having the function of transporting electrons, or a structure in which an electron transport material is doped with a Liq material in the electron transport layer, for example, a structure of ANT-BIZ:Liq50wt%, and the material of the electron injection layer includes one or more of LiF, Liq, and Yb.
[0057] The present invention also discloses an application of a light-emitting layer and a light-emitting device prepared by using an efficient phosphorescent Pt(II) emitter coordinated by a tetradentate [O^N^C^N] ligand as a light-emitting material, and a combination of a first compound and a second compound or a combination of SF-BCZ and SF-TRZ as a main material, wherein the light-emitting device can be used for fixed visual display units, mobile visual display units, lighting units, keyboards, clothing, decorations, clothing accessories, wearable devices, medical monitoring equipment, wall paper, tablet computers, laptop computers, advertising panels, panel display units, household appliances, and office appliances.
[0058] The light-emitting device or CT-OLED of the present invention uses a single luminescent material, tetra-Pt-dbf / tetra-Pt-dbt, to simultaneously achieve monomer (high-energy band) emission and aggregate (low-energy band) emission, resulting in a short excited-state lifetime, thereby extending the service life of the light-emitting device. Compared with the emitter Pt-X-4 used in the prior art CN116602071A, the tetra-Pt-dbf / tetra-Pt-dbt of the present invention has higher thermal stability. In addition, due to the strong intermolecular π-π stacking interaction, this indicates that the tetra-Pt-dbf / tetra-Pt-dbt aggregates have high chemical stability, which can inhibit the decomposition of the tetra-Pt-dbf / tetra-Pt-dbt aggregates in OLED devices, thereby improving the stability of devices manufactured using tetra-Pt-dbf / tetra-Pt-dbt and achieving a long service life.
[0059] Furthermore, unlike existing CT-OLEDs that use multiple emitters, the present invention's light-emitting device or CT-OELD using a single emitter can essentially avoid the "color aging problem" and eliminate quenching between different dopant species in the light-emitting layer (EML), thereby extending the service life. The light-emitting device or CT-OLED of the present invention, doped with a single tetra-Pt-dbf / tetra-Pt-dbt emitter, exhibits a wide color tuning range, high EQE, low efficiency roll-off, and excellent operational stability. This suggests that CT-OLEDs using planar luminescent Pt(II) complexes as single emitters have broad application prospects, such as in smart lighting, decoration, and wearable biomedical sensors.
[0060] This proves that the color-adjustable light-emitting device of the present invention, which uses a light-emitting layer comprising the above-mentioned combination of the host material and the light-emitting material, has overcome the technical bottleneck that the lifespan of CT-OLED is much lower than that of OLED using monochromatic light, and enables the lifespan of CT-OLED to reach or even exceed that of OLED using monochromatic light. This solves the technical bias in the art that, when combining the host material and the light-emitting material, the effect of the π-π stacking interaction between molecules during the material combination process on the device lifespan and stability is not taken into account, and opens up a research and development idea for utilizing the π-π stacking interaction in the light-emitting material to dope a specific combination of host materials to achieve a significant increase in the lifespan of the color-adjustable light-emitting device.

[0078] The following is a detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0079] According to a preferred embodiment, the present invention discloses a high-efficiency, long-life dimmable organic light-emitting device, which achieves stability in manufacturing and operation of the light-emitting device through a stable device structure and a stable emitter, so that the light-emitting device can meet the practical application requirements of human-computer interaction terminals or wearable biomedical devices.
[0080] In one or more embodiments, the emitter used as a dopant in the light-emitting layer is a metal complex having a tetragonal planar chemical structure. Preferably, the metal complex is a platinum complex. In one or more embodiments, the emitter is a compound having a Pt[O^N^C^N] structure.
[0081] The present invention discloses a series of efficient phosphorescent Pt(II) emitters coordinated by tetradentate [O^N^C^N] ligands. In a preferred embodiment, based on the luminescence of such Pt(II) complexes, a light-emitting device can achieve a high EQE of up to 30.2%. Preferably, the tetra-Pt-dbf and tetra-Pt-dbt (e.g., Figure 1 The Pt[O^N^C^N] complexes have the potential to be used as single luminescent dopants in the fabrication of voltage-dependent, color-tunable light-emitting devices, because they possess excellent electroluminescent (EL) properties in both monomeric and aggregated states. Figures 2 and 3 They are respectively the synthetic routes of tetra-Pt-dbf and tetra-Pt-dbt of the present invention.
[0082] Preferably, tetra-Pt-dbf and tetra-Pt-dbt exhibit short τ and excellent PLQY in both the monomeric and aggregated states, enabling their use as single emitters in CT-OLEDs. Therefore, the present invention discloses stable, color-tunable OLED devices or light-emitting devices utilizing single emitters of tetra-Pt-dbf or tetra-Pt-dbt. Furthermore, such devices or light-emitting devices can employ a structure in which dual host materials dope the single emitter. By precisely controlling the doping concentration, CT-OLED devices can be achieved with high efficiency, a wide dimming range, and an extremely long lifetime.
[0083] Example 1
[0084] According to a preferred embodiment, this embodiment discloses a light emitting device having the following device structure:
[0085] Device 1: ITO / HAT-CN (5 nm) / TAPC (30 nm) / SF-BCZ (10 nm) / SF-BCZ:SF-TRZ:tetra-Pt-dbf (x wt%) (30 nm) / SF-TRZ (10 nm) / DPPyA (30 nm) / LiF (1.2 nm) / Al (150 nm),
[0086] The device comprises ITO as a transparent anode, HAT-CN as a hole injection layer, TAPC as a first hole transport layer, SF-BCZ as a second hole transport layer, responsible for transporting holes and preventing exciton quenching at the hole-host interface, SF-TRZ as an electron blocking layer, blocking holes from leaking out of the emitting layer, DPPyA as an electron transport layer, LiF as an electron injection layer, and Al as an aluminum electrode, serving as the device's cathode. In the emissive layer (EML), SF-BCZ serves as host material 1, SF-TRZ as host material 2, and tetra-Pt-dbf as the luminescent material. "x wt%" represents the doping concentration of the luminescent material, ranging from 4 wt% to 13 wt%, and more specifically, 4 wt%, 7 wt%, 10 wt%, and 13 wt%. Here, tetra-Pt-dbf is the sole emitter.
[0087] like Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , it can be seen that the color-tunable EL characteristics of the device 1 with light-emitting materials of different doping concentrations are obtained. Specifically, at a low doping concentration of 4 wt %, the EL spectrum (e.g. Figure 4 a) shows a single peak at 525 nm, which is Figure 5 Compared with the PL spectrum in b, it can be classified as the monomer emission of tetra-Pt-dbf. -2 Increased to 100,000 cd·m -2 , these EL spectra remain consistent, keeping the CIE coordinates around (0.342, 0.618), with a deviation of (±0.01, ±0.01). Figure 4 b~ Figure 4 As shown in d, as the dopant concentration increases from 7wt% to 13wt%, a new emission peak appears near 670nm, which is consistent with Figure 5 Compared with the PL spectrum in b, it can be classified as the aggregate emission of tetra-Pt-dbf. Figure 4 d shows that the color tunable phenomenon can be clearly observed in device 1 with a doping concentration of 13 wt%, showing a color tunable -2 The CIE coordinates are (0.479, 0.508) to 100,000 cd·m -2The CIE coordinates (0.449, 0.533) change when φ = 0.533 (see Table 1). This shows that the device 1 of the present invention can emit light of different colors at two wavelengths to achieve color tunability.
[0088] Table 1 Partial performance of various OLED devices when doped with different concentrations of tetra-Pt-dbf
[0089]
[0090]
[0091] a CIE comes from the French Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage, which refers to the International Commission on Illumination. The corresponding data in the table are obtained with reference to the chromaticity coordinate diagram specified by CIE in 1931.
[0092] b Initial brightness is 1000cd m -2 The device operating time when the device brightness decays to 90% of the initial brightness.
[0093] c Initial brightness is 100 cd m -2 The device operating time when the device brightness decays to 90% of the initial brightness.
[0094] like Figure 4 As shown in e, the device 1 with different doping concentrations is between 1000 and 10000 cd·m -2 The device with 4 wt% tetra-Pt-dbf exhibits the highest EQE. max , is 30.2%. Even at 1000cd·m -2 and 10000 cd·m -2 At high brightness, the EQE of the device is maintained at 30.0% and 27.8% respectively. Its maximum brightness is as high as 148300cd·m -2 (As shown in Table 1). Meanwhile, the device containing 13 wt% tetra-Pt-dbf not only has a wide color tuning range, but also exhibits an EQE as high as 28.1%. max , and respectively at 1000 cd·m -2 and 10000 cd·m -2 The low efficiency roll-off (EQE 1000 EQE 10000 is 25.0%).
[0095] It can be seen from this that this CT-OLED is one of the most efficient CT-OLEDs, EQE max The EL efficiency reaches approximately 30%, surpassing most existing CT-OLEDs. This high EL efficiency can be attributed to the high PLQY of the emitter tetra-Pt-dbf in both the monomeric and aggregated states. Furthermore, the well-aligned energy levels from the ETL to the EML reduce the energy barrier and prevent associated quenching. The short excited-state lifetime and high thermal stability of tetra-Pt-dbf also help suppress triplet-related annihilation or thermal degradation, thereby suppressing efficiency roll-off at high brightness.
[0096] Therefore, the device 1 in this embodiment can not only emit light of different colors at two wavelengths to achieve color tunability, but also has a high EQE max , making its EL efficiency higher than the existing CT-OLED.
[0097] Example 2
[0098] According to a preferred embodiment, this embodiment discloses a light emitting device having the following device structure:
[0099] Device 2: ITO / HAT-CN(5nm) / BPBPA(120nm) / FSF4A(10nm) / SF-BCZ:SF-TRZ:tetra-Pt-dbf(y wt%)(20nm) / ANT-BIZ(10nm) / ANT-BIZ:Liq 50wt%(40nm) / Liq(1.2nm) / Al(100nm),
[0100] The device comprises ITO as a transparent anode, HAT-CN as a hole injection layer, BPBPA as a hole transport layer, FSF4A as a second hole transport layer (HTTL), responsible for transporting holes and preventing exciton quenching at the interface between holes and the host material, ANT-BIZ as a first electron transport layer (ETL), responsible for transporting electrons and blocking holes from leaking out of the luminescent layer, ANT-BIZ:Liq 50 wt% as a second ETL, Liq as an electron injection layer, and Al as an aluminum electrode, serving as the device's cathode. In the emitting layer (EML), SF-BCZ is the host material 1, SF-TRZ is the host material 2, and tetra-Pt-dbf is the luminescent material. "y wt%" represents the doping concentration of the luminescent material, ranging from 4 wt% to 13 wt%, and more specifically, 4 wt%, 7 wt%, 10 wt%, and 13 wt%. Here, tetra-Pt-dbf is the single emitter.
[0101] Preferably, if Figure 6As shown in Table 1, device 2 shows a color-tunable EL spectrum, good efficiency and operational stability. EQE of device 2 with different doping concentrations max All above 15%, LT 90 When L0 is 100 cd·m -2 Among these devices, assuming an acceleration factor n of 1.75, the device with a doping concentration of 7 wt% has an L0 of 100 cd·m -2 LT 90 The longest is about 77772 hours. When the doping concentration is increased to 10wt%, a larger color range and longer service life can be achieved, and its CIE coordinates move from (0.476, 0.510) at 2.8V to (0.434, 0.541) at 7V. 90 As long as 37,789 hours.
[0102] Device 2 of this embodiment uses SF-BCZ and SF-TRZ as the main materials and tetra-Pt-dbf as the light-emitting material. When the doping concentration is 4wt% to 13wt%, the light-emitting device can emit light of different colors at two wavelengths, and its device life LT90@100nits is approximately between 37,000 hours and 77,000 hours, which is significantly improved compared to the life of conventional color-adjustable OLED devices.
[0103] Example 3
[0104] According to a preferred embodiment, in order to further improve the service life of the CT-OLED, this embodiment discloses a light-emitting device having the following device structure:
[0105] Device 3: ITO / HAT-CN (5 nm) / BPBPA:HAT-CN 3 wt% (10 nm) / BPBPA (50 nm) / FSF4A (10 nm) / Host1-1:Host2-1:tetra-Pt-dbf (z wt%) (20 nm) / ET:Liq 50 wt% (40 nm) / Yb (1 nm) / Ag (100 nm),
[0106] Among them, ITO is the transparent anode; HAT-CN is the hole injection layer; BPBPA:HAT-CN is the first hole transport layer; BPBPA is the second hole transport layer; FAF4A is the electron blocking layer, used to block electron leakage from the light-emitting layer; Host1-1+Host2-1 constitute the light-emitting layer, which is also doped with a certain proportion of the light-emitting material tetra-Pt-dbf; and the electron transport layer uses a structure in which the electron transport material doped with Liq material, such as ET:LiQ 50wt%, where the electron transport material can also be selected from one of ANT-BIZ, DPPyA, etc.; Yb is used as the electron injection layer, and Ag is used as the cathode. In the light-emitting layer (EML), Host1-1 is the host material 1, Host2-1 is the host material 2, tetra-Pt-dbf is the light-emitting material, and z wt% represents the doping concentration of the light-emitting material, where z wt% can be 4wt% to 20wt%, and can be further specifically a doping concentration of 4wt%, 6wt%, 7wt%, and 20wt%; here, tetra-Pt-dbf is a single emitter.
[0107] Preferably, if Figure 7 As shown, for device 3, when the doping concentration is 4wt%, the device has no dimming effect. When the doping concentration of the luminescent material is increased to 6wt%, the device begins to show obvious spectral changes. When the doping concentration is increased to 20wt%, the device basically emits concentrated deep red light, and the dimming effect basically disappears. Therefore, the doping concentration of the luminescent material can be selected from 4wt% to 20wt%, and more preferably from 6wt% to 13wt%.
[0108] Figure 8 Figure a shows the different EL spectra of device 3 with a doping concentration of 7 wt% at a driving voltage of 2.4 to 7.0 V. At a low voltage of 2.4 to 2.6 V, the aggregated emission of tetra-Pt-dbf (peak at about 670 nm) dominates, and as the voltage increases, the steadily enhanced monomer emission (peak at about 525 nm) gradually dominates. As shown in Tables 1 and Figure 8 As shown in b, device 3 has a wider color adjustment range, and the CIE coordinates move from (0.510, 0.475) at 2.4V to (0.379, 0.584) at 7.0V. Figure 8 c and Figure 9 As shown, the L0 is 20290cd·m -2 When its working life LT 90 The degradation acceleration factor n calculated by the exponential decay model is 1.7485, and the brightness is 10000 cd·m -2 , 1000cd·m -2 and 100 cd·m -2Case LT 90 The lifetimes are approximately 166 hours, 9,288 hours, and 520,536 hours, respectively. These lifetimes are more than 20 times longer than the most advanced existing CT-OLEDs and are even comparable to the lifetimes of most existing stable single-color OLED devices. This demonstrates that the color-tunable light-emitting device of the present invention, which utilizes a light-emitting layer comprising the aforementioned host material and light-emitting material combination, overcomes the technical bottleneck of CT-OLED lifetimes being significantly lower than that of single-color OLEDs, enabling the lifespan of CT-OLEDs to reach or even exceed that of single-color OLEDs. This addresses the technical bias in the art of not considering the impact of intermolecular π-π stacking interactions on device lifetime and stability during the material combination process when combining host and light-emitting materials. This opens up a new research and development approach for significantly extending the lifetime of color-tunable light-emitting devices by utilizing the π-π stacking interactions in light-emitting materials and doping them with specific host material combinations.
[0109] like Figure 10 As shown in Table 2, at 30 or 60 mA·cm -2 At a constant driving current density of , the driving voltage only shows a slight increase of 0.6V or 0.4V, resulting in a negligible shift of CIEx and CIEy of 0.008% or 0.004% and 0.006% or 0.004%, respectively. Figure 11 The color coordinate change curve of the device 3 of the present invention is shown when it is operated at a constant voltage for 100 minutes. As can be seen from the figure, the color coordinates of the device 3 are basically unchanged, indicating that the device has excellent stability. However, the existing CT-OLED usually changes its luminous color after operating at a constant current or voltage for a long time, making it difficult to achieve the stability of the light-emitting device of the present invention. Therefore, the light-emitting device of the present invention has excellent practical value. On the other hand, considering the estimated service life of the device 3 (LT90@100=520536h), at 100 cd m -2 When the device 3 is actually used at low brightness, no significant device degradation will occur. Therefore, after long-term use, the color tunable performance of the device 3 of the present invention is basically not affected.
[0110] Compared with the prior art CN116602071A which uses Pt-X-4 as the emitter CT-OLED (LT 90@100nits=19105 hours), the CT-OLED of the present invention using tetra-Pt-dbf as the emitter not only has a service life far exceeding that of the prior art CT-OLED by dozens of times, but also shows more excellent device stability. The excellent operational stability of the CT-OLED of the present invention can be attributed to the short excited state lifetime of tetra-Pt-dbf in the monomeric and aggregated states (τ<2us). Due to the "heavy atom effect", phosphorescent metal organic emitters usually have a short triplet excited state lifetime, which promotes rapid radiative decay from the triplet excited state to the ground state. This greatly suppresses triplet-related annihilation, not only reducing the efficiency roll-off at high current density, but also extending the device life. Both the monomeric emission and the aggregated emission of tetra-Pt-dbf have short excited state lifetimes, which is different from other complexes that have short excited state lifetimes only in the monomeric or aggregated states.
[0111] To better explain this excellent color tunable mechanism, the “capture and energy transfer model” can be applied to simulate the experimental data, where the model can be expressed as follows:
[0112]
[0113] The above formula is derived for single-layer OLED and can be applied to multi-layer OLED to explain color-tunable OLED. Unlike previous literature reports that only use the intensity ratio of different emission bands, the integrated area ratio A is used in this invention. agg / mon (obtained by "Guass" fitting) to describe the emission ratio q(U) in the above formula. This method is adopted because the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the aggregate emission band is larger than that of the monomer emission band. If q(U) is described by the intensity ratio, it will lead to serious deviations in the simulation process. In the above formula, D is the diffusion coefficient of the captured electron, μ is the mobility of the carrier, d is the thickness of the EML, and L T is the average diffusion distance before the carriers reach the capture center, U is the driving voltage, and U0 is the built-in electron field. Furthermore, D / μ is the Einstein relationship that describes the ratio between diffusion rate and mobility. By using the above equation to fit the experimental data, the curve fit matches the experimental data, and the correlation coefficient R 2 is 0.996, such as Figure 8 d. Here, we achieve a built-in field U0 of 2.26 V and an Einstein relation D / μ of 2.0, which are close to those reported in conventional organic systems. The experimental data are highly consistent with the fitted curves, suggesting that this color tunability can result from a competition between charge trapping and direct energy transfer mechanisms.
[0114] Example 4
[0115] According to a preferred embodiment, this embodiment discloses a light emitting device having the following device structure:
[0116] Device 4: ITO / HAT-CN (5 nm) / BPBPA:HAT-CN 3 wt% (10 nm) / BPBPA (50 nm) / FSF4A (10 nm) / Host1-1:Host2-1:tetra-Pt-dbt (a wt%) (20 nm) / ET:Liq 50 wt% (40 nm) / Yb (1 nm) / Ag (100 nm),
[0117] Among them, ITO is the transparent anode; HAT-CN is the hole injection layer; BPBPA: HAT-CN is the first hole transport layer; BPBPA is the second hole transport layer; FAF4A is the electron blocking layer, used to block electron leakage from the light-emitting layer; Host1-1 + Host2-1 constitute the light-emitting layer, which is also doped with a certain proportion of the light-emitting material tetra-Pt-dbt; and the electron transport layer uses a structure in which the electron transport material doped with Liq material, such as ET: LiQ 50wt%, where the electron transport material can also be selected from one of ANT-BIZ, DPPyA, etc.; Yb is used as the electron injection layer, and Ag is used as the cathode. In the light-emitting layer (EML), Host1-1 is host material 1, Host2-1 is host material 2, tetra-Pt-dbt is the light-emitting material, and a wt% represents the doping concentration of the light-emitting material, where a wt% can be 6wt% to 10wt%, and can be further specifically a doping concentration of 6wt%, 7wt%, 8wt%, and 10wt%; here, tetra-Pt-dbt is a single emitter.
[0118] Figure 12 The electroluminescence graph of device 4 doped with different concentrations of tetra-Pt-dbt at a driving voltage of 2.6 to 10V is shown. When the doping concentration of the luminescent material tetra-Pt-dbt is in the range of 6wt% to 10wt%, the device 4 at a driving voltage of 2.6 to 10V can emit light of different colors at two wavelengths to achieve color tunability. Therefore, the CT-OLED of the present invention uses a single luminescent material tetra-Pt-dbf or tetra-Pt-dbt to simultaneously achieve monomer (high energy band) emission and aggregate (low energy band) emission, and the excited state lifetime is short, thereby extending the service life of the light-emitting device. Taking tetra-Pt-dbf as an example, compared with the emitter Pt-X-4 (T d =430℃), the tetra-Pt-dbf of the present invention has higher thermal stability (T d=508°C). Furthermore, due to strong intermolecular π-π stacking interactions, the dimer [tetra-Pt-dbf]2 exhibits a high intermolecular bond energy (-52.0 kcal / mol). This indicates that the tetra-Pt-dbf aggregates possess high chemical stability, which can inhibit their decomposition in OLED devices. This reduces thermal degradation and improves the stability of devices fabricated using tetra-Pt-dbf. The same applies to tetra-Pt-dbt.
[0119] Furthermore, unlike existing CT-OLEDs that use multiple emitters, the present invention's single-emitter CT-OLEDs essentially avoid the "color aging problem" and eliminate quenching between different dopant species in the EML, thereby extending the lifetime. The present invention's CT-OLEDs, doped with a single tetra-Pt-dbf or tetra-Pt-dbt emitter, exhibit a wide color tuning range, high EQE, low efficiency roll-off, and excellent operational stability. This suggests that CT-OLEDs using planar luminescent Pt(II) complexes as single emitters have broad application prospects, such as in smart lighting, decoration, and wearable biomedical sensors.

[0127]
[0128] Experimental part
[0129] Materials: HAT-CN, TAPC, ANT-BIZ, Al, Yb, Ag, and LiF were purchased from Luminescence Technology Corp., and BPBPA, DPPyA, SF-BCZ, SF-TRZ, Host1, and Host2 were purchased from PURI Materials. All of these materials were used as received without further purification. Tetra-Pt-dbf was synthesized and purified by gradient sublimation before use. The chemical structures of all organic materials are shown in Figure 2. Figure 13 shown.
[0130] PLQY measurements and electrochemical measurements: The steady-state emission spectra of the complexes in solution, glass, and solid were studied using a Horiba Fluorolog-3 spectrophotometer. The emission of the glassy state was measured in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran at 77 K. The solutions used for the photophysical studies were degassed using a high vacuum line in a two-chamber cell and subjected to five freeze-pump-thaw cycles. The glassy and solid samples were recorded in quartz tubes (4 mm inner diameter) placed in a liquid nitrogen dewar with a quartz window. The emission quantum yields of the samples in thin films and solutions were measured using a Hamamatsu C11347 Quantaurus-QY absolute PL quantum yield measurement system. The films were prepared by drop casting from chlorobenzene solutions containing PMMA complexes (2 wt% to 12 wt%). The solvent was evaporated at 80°C to obtain translucent films. The emission lifetime measurements were performed on a Quanta Ray GCR150-10 pulsed Nd:YAG laser system. The errors of λ value (±1 nm), τ value (±10%) and Φ value (±10%) were estimated. Cyclic voltammetry measurements were performed on a CHI620E electrochemical analyzer / workstation with a conventional three-chamber cell. A 0.1 M (nBu4N)-PF6 solution in DMF was used as the supporting electrolyte for the electrochemical measurements. All solutions used in the electrochemical measurements were degassed by argon bubbling, and the measurements were performed at room temperature. A saturated calomel electrode was used as the reference electrode, a glassy carbon electrode was used as the working electrode, a platinum wire was used as the counter electrode, and ferrocene was used as the internal reference.
[0131] Device Fabrication and Characterization: Indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass with a sheet resistance of 10 Ω / sq was used as the anode substrate. The patterned ITO substrate was cleaned with detergent, rinsed with deionized water, acetone, and isopropyl alcohol, and then dried in a cleanroom oven for 1 hour. The glass slide was then treated in a UV ozone chamber for 5 minutes. The OLEDs were fabricated in a Kurt J. Lesker SPECTROS vacuum deposition system with a base pressure of 10 -8 mBar. In a vacuum chamber, organic materials have a speed of 0.02 to 0.1 nm·s -1The light-emitting layer doping process is realized by co-deposition technology. After that, LiF (or Liq) and Yb are deposited at a rate of 0.03nm·s -1 Al or Ag is thermally deposited at a rate of 0.2 nm·s by the metal source of the vacuum deposition system. -1 The film thickness was determined in situ using a calibrated oscillating quartz crystal sensor.
[0132] EL spectra, JLV characteristics, CIE coordinates, CRI, EQE, CE, and PE were measured using a Keithley 2400 source meter and an absolute external quantum efficiency measurement system (C9920-12, Hamamatsu Photonics). EL distribution was measured using an angle-dependent device test system (C9920-11, Hamamatsu Photonics). The OLED was encapsulated in a 200nm thick Al2O3 film deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on a Kurt J. Lesker SPECTROS ALD system.

[0135] Preferably, the X-ray crystal structure of tetra-Pt-dbf is as follows Figure 5 The selected bond lengths, bond angles and crystallographic data are summarized in Tables 4 and 5. The two tetra-Pt-dbf molecules are arranged in a head-to-head direction with a Pt-Pt distance of In the crystal structure, intermolecular π-π interactions can be observed between each pair of tetra-Pt-dbf molecules, and the intermolecular distance is approximately

[0140]
[0141] Preferably, the electrochemical properties of tetra-Pt-dbf are investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Figure 14 For this complex, at -1.58V (E red ) was observed at 0.79 V (E ox ) and an irreversible oxidation wave was observed. Both the reduction peak and the irreversible oxidation wave are attributed to the ligand-centered reaction of the O^N^C^N molecule. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels of the complex were estimated based on the onset oxidation and reduction potentials of -5.12 eV and -2.74 eV, respectively. The photophysical data for tetra-Pt-dbf are shown in Table 6.
[0142] Table 6 Photophysical data of tetra-Pt-dbf
[0143]
[0144] Figure 5 b depicts the UV-visible absorption spectrum of the complex in toluene solution. The strong absorption band at wavelengths below 320 nm (ε>4×10 4 dm 3 ·mol -1 cm -1 ) corresponds to the π-π of the O^N^C^N ligand * Transition. A relatively weak absorption band (ε=(0.076–1.2)×10 4 dm 3 ·mol -1 cm -1 ) can be attributed to mixed singlet intra-ligand charge transfer (ILCT) and singlet metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transitions. tetra-Pt-dbf exhibits a strong yellow-green color (λ max =529nm) emission, the emission lifetime τ is 2.44us, and the emission quantum yield is as high as 0.82. The unstructured yellow-green emission band (λ max =529 nm) indicates that the emission excited state has a mixed MLCT / ILCT spectrum.
[0145] Different concentrations of tetra-Pt-dbf were doped into mCP films to study the solid-state photophysical properties of the complex. Figure 5As shown in c, all films exhibit strong emission with a maximum ranging from 523 nm (2 wt%) to 526 nm (12 wt%), which is attributed to the monomer emission of tetra-Pt-dbf. However, as the doping concentration increases from 2 wt% to 12 wt%, another low-energy emission (λ max =657-665nm), which is attributed to triplet metal-metal-ligand charge transfer (MMLCT) emission in the aggregated state. The tetra-Pt-dbf / mCP film exhibits a high PLQY (e.g., 0.66 at a doping concentration of 12wt% and 0.87 at a doping concentration of 2wt%), and a shorter τ of the emission band (e.g., τ = 2.10-1.34µs for the 523-526nm emission band and τ = 1.61-1.13µs for the 657-667nm emission band), demonstrating excellent photoluminescence performance in both the monomeric and aggregated states.
[0146] Since the stability of solid complexes is closely related to intermolecular interactions, the present invention conducted energy decomposition analysis (EDA) on the dimer [tetra-Pt-dbf]2. The EDA results showed that the dimer [tetra-Pt-dbf]2 has a strong intermolecular bonding energy of -52.0 kcal / mol (e.g. Figure 5 d). The present invention optimizes the ground state S0 structure and the lowest triplet excited state T1 structure of the dimer [tetra-Pt-dbf]2. The calculation of the dimer [tetra-Pt-dbf]2 shows that the Pt-Pt distance in the T1 state is and The molecular orbital (MO) diagrams of the T1 state optimized structure of monomer tetra-Pt-dbf and dimer [tetra-Pt-dbf]2 are shown in Figure 2. Figure 5 As shown in d. For monomer tetra-Pt-dbf, Pt-5dz 2 The orbital is HOMO-5. After dimerization, the short Pt-Pt contact distance of the dimer [tetra-Pt-dbf]2 in the T1 state leads to the two Pt-5dz 2 There is a large energy split between the orbitals. Such a large energy split will 2 ) orbital is elevated to the HOMO in the [tetra-Pt-dbf]2 dimer, while the LUMO is primarily localized on the ligand. Therefore, the excited state of the tetra-Pt-dbf aggregate is essentially a metal-metal-ligand charge transfer (MMLCT) process. Calculated emission energy from the [tetra-Pt-dbf]2 dimer in the T1 state is 1.67 eV, which is consistent with the experimentally observed emission energy of 1.77 eV in OLED devices.
[0147] Preferably, the present invention studies the thermal stability of tetra-Pt-dbf by thermogravimetric analysis, and the decomposition temperature T d 508℃ (such as Figure 15 As shown), where T d Defined as 5 wt% loss, Figure 15 It is shown that tetra-Pt-dbf has excellent thermal stability. Compared with the single emitter Pt-X-4 (T d =430 °C), tetra-Pt-dbf has a higher decomposition temperature than that of tetra-Pt-dbf, indicating that dibenzo[b,d]furan substitution can enhance the thermal stability of Pt emitters.
[0148] Preferably, the present invention further compares the molecular stability of tetra-Pt-dbf and existing Pt-X-4 in toluene under continuous irradiation with a 455 nm LED (power of 25 W), wherein the obtained Figure 16 and Figure 17 The UV-visible absorption and emission spectra are shown. As can be seen from the figure, the UV-visible absorption spectrum of tetra-Pt-dbf remains virtually unchanged over 420 minutes, while the UV-visible absorption spectrum of Pt-X-4 shows significant changes. The PL spectrum of tetra-Pt-dbf at 0 minutes and 420 minutes also remains unchanged, while the PL spectrum of Pt-X-4 at 0 minutes and 420 minutes also shows significant changes. This demonstrates that the tetra-Pt-dbf used in the present invention has improved molecular stability, resulting in improved stability for OLED devices prepared using this complex. Similarly, OLED devices prepared using tetra-Pt-dbd can also exhibit improved stability.
[0149] As shown in Table 6, tetra-Pt-dbf has a higher PLQY, which ranges from 0.66 to 0.87; while the PLQY of the existing Pt-X-4 is much lower, specifically, it is all below 0.60. This is because the dibenzofuran unit of tetra-Pt-dbf can make the tetra-Pt-dbf molecular aggregate have a relatively rigid structure, thereby reducing the non-radiative decay of the 3MMLCT excited state of tetra-Pt-dbf. Furthermore, the dibenzothiophene unit of tetra-Pt-dbt may also have similar properties that reduce the non-radiative decay of the 3MMLCT excited state of tetra-Pt-dbt. Therefore, the light-emitting device of the present invention using tetra-Pt-dbf or tetra-Pt-dbt as the light-emitting material can have an ultra-long life while also having an EQE higher than the existing Pt-X-4 CT-OLED. maxTable 7 is a comparison table of the CT-OLED of the present invention and some existing CT-OLEDs.
