Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic electroluminescence technology, and particularly to an organic compound, as well as the application of this luminescent material and organic electroluminescent devices containing the compound. Background Technology

[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are a type of device with a sandwich-like structure, consisting of positive and negative electrode layers and an organic functional material layer sandwiched between them. When a voltage is applied to the electrodes of an OLED device, positive charges are injected from the positive electrode and negative charges from the negative electrode. Under the influence of an electric field, the positive and negative charges migrate, meet, and recombine within the organic layer to emit light. Due to their advantages such as high brightness, fast response, wide viewing angle, simple manufacturing process, and flexibility, OLED devices have attracted significant attention in the fields of new display technology and new lighting technology. Currently, this technology is widely used in display panels for new lighting fixtures, smartphones, and tablets, and its application is expected to expand further into large-size display products such as televisions. It is a rapidly developing and technologically demanding new display technology.

[0003] In the selection of OLED light-emitting materials, singlet-state luminescent fluorescent materials have good lifetimes and low prices, but low efficiency; triplet-state luminescent phosphorescent materials have high efficiency, but are expensive, and the lifetime problem of blue light-emitting materials has not yet been solved. Adachi of Kyushu University in Japan proposed a new class of organic light-emitting materials, namely thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials. This type of material utilizes donor-acceptor separation to obtain a smaller singlet-triplet bandgap (ΔE). ST (<0.3eV), allowing triplet excitons to transform into singlet excitons for emission via reverse system crossing (RISC), thus achieving an internal quantum efficiency of 100%. However, traditional TADF molecules have a highly distorted electron donor-acceptor structure, which cannot simultaneously achieve high reverse system crossing rates and high radiative transition rates, limiting further efficiency improvements. Furthermore, because TADF materials emit light in the CT state with a broad spectrum, they cannot meet the color requirements of BT.2020, thus restricting the further application of this type of material in the display field.

[0004] Boron-nitrogen-based multiple resonance (MR) TADF materials possess advantages such as high color purity and high luminous efficiency, attracting widespread attention from the scientific and industrial communities. In recent years, novel MR-TADF-based OLED materials, which combine high efficiency and narrow spectral density, have become a research hotspot in the field of organic electroluminescence.

Simultaneously, due to the stereochemistry of the adamantane structure, it has significant steric hindrance, effectively increasing the intermolecular distance, thereby suppressing the disadvantages of efficiency reduction, spectral broadening, and decreased stability caused by molecular stacking. Furthermore, it can reduce the interaction between the host and dye, and between dyes, in the device, improving the device's luminous efficiency, lifetime, and other performance characteristics.

[0147] Device Examples

[0148] The technical effects and advantages of the present invention will be demonstrated and verified by specifically applying the compounds of the present invention to organic electroluminescent devices and testing their actual performance.

[0149] An organic electroluminescent device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic material layer located between the two electrodes. This organic material layer can be further divided into multiple regions; for example, it may include a hole transport region, a light-emitting layer, and an electron transport region.

[0150] The anode material can be any combination of transparent conductive oxide materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin dioxide (SnO2), and zinc oxide (ZnO). The cathode material can be any combination of metals or alloys such as magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al-Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg-In), and magnesium-silver (Mg-Ag).

[0151] The hole transport region is located between the anode and the light-emitting layer. The hole transport region can be a single-layer hole transport layer (HTL), including a single-layer hole transport layer containing only one compound and a single-layer hole transport layer containing multiple compounds. The hole transport region can also be a multilayer structure including at least one of a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), and an electron blocking layer (EBL).

[0152] The material for the hole transport region can be selected from, but is not limited to, phthalocyanine derivatives such as CuPc, conductive polymers or polymers containing conductive dopants such as polyphenylene oxide, polyaniline / dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (Pani / DBSA), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) / poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT / PSS), polyaniline / camphorsulfonic acid (Pani / CSA), polyaniline / poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (Pani / PSS), aromatic amine derivatives, etc.

[0153] The emissive layer includes luminescent dyes (i.e., dopants) that can emit different wavelengths of light, and may also include a host material. The emissive layer can be a monochromatic emissive layer emitting a single color such as red, green, or blue. Multiple monochromatic emissive layers of different colors can be arranged in a planar pattern according to pixel design, or they can be stacked together to form a colored emissive layer. When different colored emissive layers are stacked together, they can be separated from each other or connected to each other. The emissive layer can also be a single colored emissive layer that can simultaneously emit different colors such as red, green, and blue.

[0154] The electron transport region can be a single-layer electron transport layer (ETL), including a single-layer electron transport layer containing only one compound and a single-layer electron transport layer containing multiple compounds. The electron transport region can also be a multilayer structure including at least one of an electron injection layer (EIL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and a hole blocking layer (HBL).

[0155] Specifically, the method for fabricating the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0156] 1. The glass plate coated with the anodic material is ultrasonically treated in a commercial cleaning agent, rinsed in deionized water, ultrasonically degreased in a mixture of acetone and ethanol, baked in a clean environment until all moisture is removed, cleaned with ultraviolet light and ozone, and bombarded with a low-energy cation beam.

[0157] 2. Place the glass plate with the anode in a vacuum chamber and evacuate it to 1×10-5~9×10-3 Pa. Vacuum deposit hole injection material on the anode film to form a hole injection layer. The deposition rate is 0.1-0.5 nm / s.

[0158] 3. A hole transport layer is formed by vacuum evaporation of a hole transport material on top of the hole injection layer, with an evaporation rate of 0.1-0.5 nm / s.

[0159] 4. An electron blocking layer is vacuum-deposited on top of the hole transport layer at a deposition rate of 0.1-0.5 nm / s;

[0160] 5. An organic light-emitting layer of the device is vacuum-deposited on top of the electron blocking layer. The organic light-emitting layer material includes a host material and a light-emitting dye. By using a multi-source co-evaporation method, the evaporation rate of the host material, the evaporation rate of the sensitizer material, and the evaporation rate of the dye are adjusted to make the dye reach a preset doping ratio.

[0161] 6. A hole blocking layer is vacuum-deposited on the organic light-emitting layer at a deposition rate of 0.1-0.5 nm / s;

[0162] 7. An electron transport layer is formed by vacuum evaporating the electron transport material of the device on top of the hole blocking layer, with an evaporation rate of 0.1-0.5 nm / s;

[0163] 8. A LiF layer is vacuum-deposited at 0.1-0.5 nm / s as the electron injection layer on the electron transport layer, and an Al layer is vacuum-deposited at 0.1-0.5 nm / s as the cathode of the device.

[0164] This invention also provides a display device, which includes the organic electroluminescent device as described above. Specifically, the display device can be an OLED display or other display device, as well as any product or component with display function, such as a television, digital camera, mobile phone, or tablet computer, that includes the display device. The advantages of this display device over the prior art are the same as those of the organic electroluminescent device described above, and will not be repeated here.

The structural schemes of all prepared devices are shown in Table 1 below:

[0180] The anode material is ITO; the hole injection layer material is HI, with a total thickness of 5-30 nm (5 nm in this embodiment); the hole transport layer material is HT, with a total thickness of 5-500 nm (25 nm in this embodiment); the electron blocking layer material is EBL, with a total thickness of 0-30 nm (10 nm in this embodiment); the host organic light-emitting layer has a wide bandgap substrate material, TD is a TADF type substrate, and the thickness of the organic light-emitting layer is 1-200 nm (25 nm in this embodiment); the hole blocking layer material is HBL, with a total thickness of 0-30 nm (10 nm in this embodiment); the electron transport layer material is ET, with a thickness of 5-300 nm (30 nm in this embodiment); the electron injection layer and cathode materials are LiF (0.5 nm) and aluminum (150 nm).

[0181] The structural formulas of the various organic materials used in the above embodiments are as follows:

[0182]

[0183]

[0184]

[0185] The performance of the devices prepared in Examples 1-66 and Comparative Examples 1-6 of this invention is shown in Table 2 below:

[0186] Table 2:

[0187]

[0188]

[0189]

[0190] Note: In Table 2, the half-width at half-maximum (WHM) is the half-width of the electroluminescence spectrum in the device. It is the peak width at half the peak height, that is, the distance between the two points where the straight line parallel to the bottom of the peak passes through the midpoint of the peak height and intersects the two sides of the peak.

[0191] The photoelectric properties of OLED devices, such as current density and external quantum efficiency, as well as their photochromic properties, such as electroluminescence spectrum, were obtained using a combination of a Hamamatsu C9920-02G quantum efficiency meter and a Keithley 2400 semiconductor analyzer. Device lifetime (LT90@10mA / cm) 2 This represents the time taken for the device brightness to decrease to 90% of its initial brightness, where the initial brightness is a current density of 10 mA / cm². 2 The corresponding brightness was obtained by testing using the OLED aging life test system of Shanghai University.

[0192] In Table 2, LT90@10mA / cm 2 The relative value of / h is the result obtained by comparing with Comparative Example 1.

[0193] The compounds of this invention introduce an adamantane lock structure on both sides of the classic boron-nitrogen core, connecting the two benzene rings, eliminating the original repulsion between hydrogen atoms, significantly enhancing molecular rigidity, further reducing the full width at half maximum (FWHM) (≤25nm), improving color purity, and consequently significantly improving the efficiency of the light-emitting device, providing guidance for constructing novel narrow-spectrum light-emitting materials. Simultaneously, due to the stereochemistry of the adamantane structure, it has significant steric hindrance, effectively increasing the intermolecular distance, thereby suppressing the disadvantages of efficiency reduction, spectral broadening, and decreased stability caused by molecular stacking. Furthermore, it can reduce the interaction between the host and dye, and between dyes, in the device, improving the device's luminous efficiency, lifetime, and other performance characteristics. Moreover, the adamantane lock structure has sp... 3 Hybridized carbon atoms offer better stability compared to heteroatom-locked structures with lone pairs of electrons, thus enabling the fabrication of highly efficient OLED devices.

[0194] Furthermore, when one of the rings A, B, C, and D in the compound of this invention is designed as a fused benzene ring structure, the conjugated planar structure of the molecule can be further broadened, thereby dispersing the electron density of the molecule, enhancing molecular stability, and improving device lifetime. Moreover, this enhancement and improvement occur with the increase of fused benzene structures in rings A, B, C, and D.

[0195] Compared to Comparative Examples 1-6, with other materials remaining the same in the organic electroluminescent device structure, Examples 1-66 showed improved efficiency, narrowed spectrum, and significantly increased device lifetime. This is mainly due to the introduction of an adamantane structure on both sides of the classic boron-nitrogen core, connecting the two benzene rings. This differs from the adamantane-locked structure in the comparative molecules, which contain only one adamantane. The bilateral adamantane structure significantly increases the intermolecular distance, thereby reducing intermolecular interactions and suppressing spectral broadening caused by molecular packing. Simultaneously, it reduces interactions between the host and dye, as well as between dyes, improving the device's luminous efficiency and lifetime. Furthermore, compared to the oxygen-bridged structure of the comparative molecule P3, the adamantane-locked structure has an sp-shaped connection site. 3 Hybridized carbon atoms exhibit better stability, thereby enabling the fabrication of highly efficient OLED devices. Therefore, when the compounds of this invention are used in electroluminescent devices, high luminous efficiency, narrow emission spectra, and long device lifetime are simultaneously achieved.

[0196] The electroluminescence spectrum of OLED devices prepared using the compounds of this invention has a narrow half-width (WHM) (≤25nm), which greatly enriches the framework system of multiple resonance narrow-spectrum materials. The corresponding electroluminescent devices have high luminous efficiency and extremely long lifespan, which can meet the requirements of current panel manufacturers for high-performance materials and show good application prospects in industrialization.

[0197] The experimental data above show that the novel MR-TADF material provided by this invention, when used in organic electroluminescent devices, achieves excellent performance in terms of high color purity and high luminous efficiency, while also exhibiting an extremely long device lifetime. Therefore, this type of novel compound is a high-performance organic light-emitting functional material with promising prospects for commercial application.
