Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of OLED luminescent materials, and in particular to an OLED organic small molecule luminescent material with a self-repairing function. Background Art

[0002] At present, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology has shown broad application prospects in the fields of display and lighting due to its advantages of high contrast, flexibility and bendability, and low power consumption. However, existing OLED organic small molecule luminescent materials are easily affected by factors such as electric fields, thermal stress, and mechanical deformation during long-term operation, resulting in molecular structure damage, interface defects or film cracking in the luminescent layer material, which in turn causes a decrease in electroluminescent efficiency, brightness attenuation, and even device failure. Traditional solutions mostly rely on packaging technology or structural optimization, but cannot repair internal damage from the essence of the material. For example, under continuous electrical drive, conventional luminescent materials will cause molecular chain breakage or aggregation, resulting in attenuation of luminous efficiency, while mechanical stress such as bending and folding in flexible devices can easily cause irreversible cracks in the luminescent layer, significantly shortening the life of the device.

[0003] While dynamic covalent bonds (such as disulfide bonds and borate bonds) have been explored in the field of self-healing materials, their application in OLED luminescent materials faces key bottlenecks: First, the incompatibility between the crosslinker and the host luminescent molecule is insufficient, which can easily lead to phase separation or luminescence quenching. Second, the self-healing process is inefficient in maintaining and restoring luminescent properties, and lacks systematic optimization for the mechanical toughness and processing adaptability required for flexible displays. Furthermore, existing material systems struggle to balance efficient luminescence, self-healing capabilities, and the bending stability requirements of flexible devices, hindering the further application of OLED technology in high-end displays and wearable devices. To address this issue, we propose a self-healing organic small molecule OLED luminescent material. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Preferably, the self-repair function of the material is activated by the following external stimuli:

[0019] (a) Heating repair: temperature is 50°C to 150°C, and the repair time is 5 to 60 minutes;

[0020] (b) Photorepair: UV light with a wavelength of 300 to 400 nm and a power density of 10 to 100 mW / cm 2 , the lighting time is 5 to 30 minutes.

[0021] Preferably, the material is applied to the light-emitting layer of an OLED device, and the structure of the OLED device includes a transparent anode, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer and a metal cathode in sequence; wherein the light-emitting layer has a thickness of 20 to 100 nm, the hole transport layer material is NPB or TAPC, and the electron transport layer material is TPBi or Bphen.

[0033] The present invention provides an OLED organic small molecule luminescent material with self-repairing function. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] (1) This OLED organic small molecule luminescent material with self-repairing function constructs a reversible dynamic cross-linking network through a reasonable ratio of the main luminescent molecule A and the dynamic covalent cross-linker B (the main molecule accounts for 90%-99.9%, and the cross-linker accounts for 0.1%-10%). When the luminescent layer has defects due to aging, thermal stress or mechanical damage, external stimulation (heating at 50℃-150℃ or 300-400nm ultraviolet light) can activate the breakage and recombination of dynamic covalent bonds such as disulfide bonds and borate bonds, prompting the molecular chains to re-cross-link and repair the microstructure of the luminescent layer. Experiments show that after self-repairing treatment, the electroluminescent efficiency recovery rate is ≥90%, which is significantly higher than that of traditional non-repairing materials (efficiency recovery rate is 0%); at 10mA / cm 2 After working for 1000 hours under constant current density, the brightness retention rate is ≥85%, which is more than 23% higher than that of comparative example 1 (material without cross-linking agent, brightness retention rate 62%). The material nature delays the device performance degradation and extends the service life.

[0035] (2) The OLED organic small molecule luminescent material with self-repairing function is uniformly dispersed with a dynamic crosslinker by in-situ polymerization, solution blending, etc. to form a composite film with both luminous performance and mechanical strength. When applied to flexible OLED devices, with a polyimide substrate of 10-50 μm thickness and a total device thickness of ≤100 μm, after 500 bending tests under the condition of a bending radius of ≤3 mm, the brightness attenuation rate is <5% and there are no visible cracks, which is significantly better than comparative example 2 (polymer encapsulation material, brightness attenuation of 21% after 100 bendings). The dynamic crosslinking network effectively suppresses the internal stress concentration of the film during bending, reduces the generation of cracks, provides a stable luminescent layer solution for flexible display devices, and promotes the practical application of OLED technology in the fields of folding screens, wearable devices, etc.

[0036] (3) The OLED organic small molecule luminescent material with self-repairing function is adapted to solvent systems such as chloroform, toluene, and DMF by providing a variety of crosslinking agent addition methods such as solution blending, in-situ polymerization, and post-crosslinking, combined with vacuum evaporation ( The material can be composited with ZnO, TiO2 nanoparticles (particle size 5-50nm, composite mass ratio 70%-95%) or PEDOT:PSS conductive polymer (composite mass ratio 80%-98%) to improve the thermal stability and conductivity of the material while maintaining the initial electroluminescent efficiency (EQE ≥ 8%). It is suitable for use in a variety of scenarios, including the light-emitting layer of high-end display devices and flexible light-emitting modules for lighting equipment, achieving both technological advancement and industrial applicability.
