Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of organic materials technology, and in particular to a composite material and a light-emitting device. Background Technology
[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are an important planar light source technology with advantages such as low power consumption, high brightness, wide color gamut, and flexible display. First-generation OLED luminescent materials use ordinary fluorescent materials, with an exciton utilization rate of only 25%. In the luminescent layer, after carrier recombination to form excitons, 25% are singlet excitons, while 75% are triplet excitons. The triplet excitons cannot directly emit light and are wasted. To improve exciton utilization, researchers such as Ma Yuguang proposed second-generation OLED luminescent materials. Utilizing heavy metals to enhance spin-orbit coupling, this material can emit phosphorescence at room temperature and can convert singlet excitons into triplet excitons. The exciton utilization rate of this material can reach 100%. Subsequently, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials and thermal exciton materials proposed by Professor Ma Yuguang were proposed, which can convert triplet excitons into singlet excitons, further improving exciton utilization. Theoretically, the exciton utilization rate of this third-generation OLED luminescent material can also reach 100%.
[0003] For ordinary first-generation fluorescent materials, only 25% of excitons can be used for luminescence, while the energy of the other 75% of excitons is wasted, resulting in low exciton utilization and serious energy waste. Summary of the Invention

[0136] It can be understood that the role of the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) sensitizer is that, when the carriers recombine in the light-emitting layer to form an exciton, the exciton energy is transferred to the sensitizer, and the sensitizer can emit light using both singlet and triplet excitons. The fluorescent light emitted by the sensitizer is then absorbed by the fluorescent material and emits light, thereby achieving full utilization of excitons. The thermal exciton mechanism is to improve the utilization of excitons through the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) from the high-energy triplet state (T n , n≥2) to the singlet state (S m , m≥1). That is, the high-energy triplet state (T n , n≥2) of the thermal exciton can effectively transfer energy to the TADF sensitizer through the mechanism of Dexter energy transfer. In order to ensure more efficient energy transfer, the emission of the thermal exciton and the absorption of the sensitizer, and the emission of the sensitizer and the absorption of the fluorescent material need to have a large overlap.

[0221]
[0222] V@1cd / m 2 represents the luminance of 1 cd / m 2 corresponding to the turn-on voltage;
[0223] EQE@10mA / cm 2 This indicates a current density of 10 mA / cm². 2 The corresponding external quantum efficiency (EQE) refers to the percentage of photons emitted outside the device relative to the number of injected charge carriers.
[0224] T 95 (h)@1000cd / m 2 This indicates that the device has an initial brightness of 1000 cd / m². 2 The light continues to illuminate until the brightness decreases to 95% of the initial brightness (950 cd / m²). 2 The time elapsed during which )
[0225] The batteries in Examples 1-13 of this application have a start-up voltage of 3.6V to 3.8V and a current density of 10mA / cm². 2 The external quantum efficiency was 7.1%–11.1% and the brightness decay time was 5 h–15 h. In contrast, the cells used in Comparative Examples 1–6, which used only fluorescent materials, only thermal exciton materials, and a combination of thermally activated delayed fluorescence sensitizers and fluorescent materials, had a start-up voltage of 4.3 V and a current density of 10 mA / cm². 2 The external quantum efficiency was 2.9%~4.2% and the brightness decay time was 1~2h.
