Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application claims the benefit as of the filing date of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0120824, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on September 23, 2022, and all its contents are incorporated herein by reference. The present invention relates to an ink composition, an organic layer containing the same, and an organic light-emitting element containing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Organic luminescence is one example of a phenomenon in which an electric current is converted into visible light by an internal process of a specific organic molecule. The principle of organic luminescence is as follows: When an organic layer is placed between the anode and the cathode and an electric current is passed between the two electrodes, electrons and holes are injected into the organic layer from the cathode and anode, respectively. The electrons and holes injected into the organic layer recombine to form an exciton, and this exciton falls back to the ground state, emitting light. Organic light-emitting devices that utilize this principle can generally be composed of a cathode, an anode, and an organic layer located between them, such as a positive electrode injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, an electron barrier layer, and a hole barrier layer.
[0003] Traditionally, vapor deposition has been the primary method used to manufacture organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, vapor deposition has drawbacks, including significant material loss and difficulty in manufacturing large-area devices. To address these issues, devices using solution-based processes have been developed.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for the development of materials for solution-based processes. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0015] The present invention will be described in detail below.
[0016] One embodiment of the present invention provides an ink composition comprising a compound represented by the following chemical formula 1 and a first solvent represented by the following chemical formula A. [ka]
[0017] In the above chemical formulas 1 and A, Y1 to Y10 are either identical or different from each other, and each is independently a hydrogen; deuterium; hydroxyl group; ether group; carbonyl group; ester group; substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group; substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkenyl group; substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group; substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; or substituted or unsubstituted amine group. Lc is a substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylene group containing O, S, or Si. L1 and L2 are identical or different from each other, and are independently directly bonded; or are substituted or unsubstituted arylene groups. L11 and L12 are either identical or different from each other, and independently, they are directly bonded; -O-; substituted or unsubstituted alkylene groups; or substituted or unsubstituted arylene groups. Ar1 to Ar4 are either identical or different from each other, and each is independently a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group. R1 and R2 are either identical or different from each other, and independently are hydrogen; deuterium; a halogen group; or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group. X1 and X2 are either identical or different from each other, and are independently curable groups. r1 and r2 are integers from 0 to 7, and if r1 and r2 are 2 or greater, then two or more substituents in parentheses are either identical or different from each other. l11 and l12 are integers from 1 to 3, and if l11 and l12 are 2 or greater, then two or more substituents in parentheses are either identical or different from each other. f1 is the maximum number of substituents that can be attached to 0 to Ar1. f2 is the maximum number of substituents that can be attached to 0 to Ar2. f3 is the maximum number of substituents that can be attached to 0 to Ar3. f4 is the maximum number of substituents that can be attached to 0 to Ar4.
[0018] The compound of chemical formula 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention contains a heteroarylene group (Lc) containing O, S, or Si and two fluorene derivatives, thereby having a high HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) energy level and excellent hole mobility. Furthermore, the introduction of curable groups into the two fluorene derivatives suppresses radical formation at that position, thereby increasing the stability of the compound. As a result, when the compound of chemical formula 1 is applied to the organic layer in an organic light-emitting device, it exhibits the effect of improving the performance of the organic light-emitting device. In particular, when the compound of chemical formula 1 is applied to a hole injection layer, it facilitates hole transport or injection, providing an organic light-emitting device with high luminous efficiency and long lifetime.
[0019] The solvent represented by chemical formula A according to one embodiment of the present invention, by containing biphenyl as its core structure, exhibits excellent solubility in the solute (compound represented by chemical formula 1) contained in the ink composition. It also has the advantage of good leveling effect, which reduces the thickness deviation between pixels and improves the uniformity of the organic layer. Specifically, it can reduce the thickness deviation between pixels to which the ink composition has been coated and dried (or heat-treated). This reduces factors that affect the interference conditions of light emitted according to thickness in the light-emitting device, and excellent light emission and / or color development effects can be expected.

[0155] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Y1 to Y10 are identical or different from each other and are independently hydrogen; deuterium; a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C6 alkyl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C6 alkoxy group.
[0156] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Y1 to Y10 are identical or different from each other and are independently hydrogen; deuterium; alkyl group; or alkoxy group.
[0157] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Y1 to Y10 are identical or different from each other and are independently hydrogen; deuterium; a substituted or unsubstituted methyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted ethyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted propyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted butyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted pentyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted hexyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted isopropyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted isobutyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted tert-butyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted methoxy group; a substituted or unsubstituted ethoxy group; a substituted or unsubstituted propoxy group; or a substituted or unsubstituted butoxy group.

[0159] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Y1 to Y10 are identical or different from each other and are independently hydrogen; deuterium; ethyl group; propyl group; butyl group; pentyl group; isopropyl group; or methoxy group.
[0160] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first solvent represented by chemical formula A has one of the following structures. [ka] In the above structure, Y1 to Y10 are identical or different from each other, and each is independently a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group.
[0161] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first solvent represented by chemical formula A is one or more mixtures selected from the group consisting of the following structures. [ka]
[0162] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first solvent represented by chemical formula A is any one of the structures described above.
[0163] In one embodiment of the present invention, the surface tension of the first solvent represented by chemical formula A is 32 mN / m to 38 mN / m. Specifically, it is 33 mN / m to 37 mN / m; or 33.5 mN / m to 36.5 mN / m.
[0164] In one embodiment of the present invention, by ensuring that the surface tension of the first solvent represented by chemical formula A satisfies the aforementioned range, the range of surface tensions between substances other than the first solvent represented by chemical formula A can be easily adjusted. Specifically, the substances contained in the ink composition used in the solution process (e.g., additional solvents, other organic solvents, etc.) generally consist of substances that cause the ink composition to have a surface tension in the range of 25 mN / m to 45 mN / m, and it is preferable that the difference in surface tension between the substances is small. A surface tension in the range of 32 mN / m to 38 mN / m is close to the midpoint of the preferred surface tension range, thereby allowing the difference in surface tension between substances other than the first solvent represented by chemical formula A to be adjusted to be small when the first solvent represented by chemical formula A has a surface tension in the range of 32 mN / m to 38 mN / m. A small difference in surface tension between substances other than the first solvent represented by chemical formula A has the advantage of superior flatness of the organic layer and pixel thickness uniformity of the organic light-emitting element produced in the solution process.
[0165] In one embodiment of the present invention, the boiling point of the first solvent represented by chemical formula A is 250°C to 350°C; 270°C to 350°C; or 280°C to 330°C.
[0166] By including the first solvent represented by chemical formula A, which has a boiling point within the aforementioned range, it is expected that the flatness of the organic layer and / or the uniformity of the pixel thickness will be excellent when manufacturing the organic layer of an organic light-emitting device through a solution process. Specifically, the first solvent represented by chemical formula A has the lowest vapor pressure among the constituent solvents and is not removed in the initial drying stage, which has the advantage of being able to adjust the difference in surface tension between the materials remaining after the initial drying stage. As a result, there is an advantage of excellent flatness of the organic layer and / or the uniformity of the pixel thickness of the organic light-emitting device.
[0167] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ink composition further comprises a second solvent, the second solvent comprising at least one of a solvent represented by any of the following chemical formulas B to D, methoxytoluene, and tetralin. [ka]

[0200] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ink composition comprises a second solvent represented by any of the chemical formulas B to D, and further comprises a third solvent different from the first and second solvents.

The aforementioned ink composition must remain in a liquid state within the pixel after printing until it enters the vacuum chamber. However, if the first solvent is present in an amount of less than 4 wt%, there is a problem that a large amount or all of the ink composition dries out during the printing process. On the other hand, if the first solvent is present in an amount exceeding 60 wt% in the ink composition, there is a possibility that the solvent will remain in the thin film.
[0206] In one embodiment of the present invention, "the entire solvent" means the first solvent and the second solvent combined.
[0207] The following section provides a detailed explanation of ionic compounds containing an anionic group represented by chemical formula 2.
[0208] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ink composition further comprises an ionic compound containing an anionic group represented by the following chemical formula 2. [ka] In the aforementioned chemical formula 2, At least one of R201 to R220 is F; a cyano group; or a substituted or unsubstituted fluoroalkyl group. At least one of the remaining R201-R220 is a curable group.

R221 to R228 are either identical or different from each other, and each is independently hydrogen; deuterium; or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group.
[0209] An ionic compound containing an anionic group represented by chemical formula 2 according to one embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the anionic compound) has a curable group introduced into it. In contrast, if a curable group is not introduced, the ionic compound will not harden, and the properties of the device will decrease due to the movement of the ionic compound between electrodes or layers. On the other hand, as the number of curable groups increases, the hardening rate of the ionic compound or the composition containing it increases, and the film retention rate improves.
[0210] In one embodiment of the present invention, the number of curable groups in the anionic compound represented by chemical formula 2 is one.
[0211] In one embodiment of the present invention, the number of curable groups in the anionic compound represented by chemical formula 2 is two.
[0212] In one embodiment of the present invention, the number of curable groups in the anionic compound represented by chemical formula 2 is four.
[0213] In one embodiment of the present invention, the number of F, cyano groups, or substituted or unsubstituted fluoroalkyl groups in the anionic compound represented by chemical formula 2 is 16 to 19.
[0214] In one embodiment of the present invention, the amount of F in the anionic compound is 15 to 50 parts by weight or less, relative to 100 parts by weight of the anionic compound.
[0215] In one embodiment of the present invention, the amount of F in the anionic compound is 10 to 45 parts by weight or less, relative to 100 parts by weight of the anionic compound.
[0216] In one embodiment of the present invention, the number of F atoms in the anionic compound is 8 to 20 per 100 parts by weight of the anionic compound.
[0217] As described above, increasing the proportion of F, cyano groups, or fluoroalkyl groups in the molecule improves the film retention rate during heat treatment.
[0218] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the ionic compound may be used in the hole injection layer of an organic light-emitting element, and when used in the hole injection layer, it can be used as a dopant. In this case, as the F content of the ionic compound increases, the force that attracts electrons from other compounds (host compounds) increases, holes are generated more effectively in the host, and the performance in the hole injection layer is improved.
[0219] In one embodiment of the present invention, the fluorine content can be determined by analyzing it using a COSA AQF-100 combustion furnace coupled to a Dionex ICS 2000 ion-chromatograph, or by 19F NMR using a method commonly used for fluorine analysis.

[0256] The following section will specifically describe the pixels containing the aforementioned ink composition.
[0257] One embodiment of the present invention provides a pixel comprising the aforementioned ink composition or a cured product thereof. The pixel may be included in an organic layer, an organic light-emitting diode, or an organic light-emitting display device. Specific details regarding the organic layer will be described later.
[0258] In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic light-emitting display device comprises a plurality of pixels consisting of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) subpixels, with an organic light-emitting diode and a pixel circuit located for each subpixel.

In this case, the aforementioned pixels can correspond to the pixels or sub-pixels. In a preferred example, the pixels correspond to the sub-pixels.
[0261] In one embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the pixels may be included in the aforementioned organic layer, organic light-emitting diode, or organic light-emitting display device.
[0262] The following section will provide a detailed explanation of the organic layer containing the aforementioned pixels.
[0263] One embodiment of the present invention provides an organic layer containing the aforementioned pixels. Since the pixels contain the aforementioned ink composition or its cured product, one embodiment of the present invention can be said to provide an organic layer containing the aforementioned ink composition or its cured product.
[0264] In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic layer includes a plurality of the aforementioned pixels. For example, the organic layer includes an x-axis with na pixels arranged therein and a y-axis perpendicular to the x-axis with nb pixels arranged therein, where na and nb are 2 to 10 4 integers, 10 to 10 3an integer, or 20 to 10 2 It is an integer.
[0265] In one embodiment of the present invention, na and nb are 2 or more, 5 or more, 10 or more, or 20 or more, respectively. 4 The following 10 3 The following, or 10 2 The following applies:
[0266] In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic layer contains 2 or more, 4 or more, 10 or more, 20 or more, 40 or more, 80 or more, or 100 or more pixels. 8 Less than or equal to 10 6 10 or fewer, or 10 4 Includes items less than or equal to one.
[0267] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pixels contained in the organic layer are arranged in a line. For example, as shown in Figures 4 and 7, a plurality of pixels 1' are arranged in a line to form a line.
[0268] In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic layer includes multiple lines in which multiple pixels are arranged in a row. For example, as shown in Figures 4 and 7, multiple lines may be formed at regular intervals. For example, one line may be the y-axis with nb pixels arranged as described above, and the x-axis may contain as many lines as there are pixels (na).
[0269] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pixels contained in the organic layer are arranged in a separated form, not in a line. For example, as shown in Figure 8, multiple pixels may be formed in a separated form.
[0270] In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic layer contains na × nb pixels.
[0271] In one embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of pixels contained in the organic layer have a uniform thickness.
[0272] In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic layer includes an x-axis with nc pixels and a y-axis perpendicular to the x-axis with nd pixels, wherein nc and nd are 20 to 10 4 It is an integer that satisfies equation 1 below. [Formula 1] |X(i')-X(5)|≦5nm In the above formula 1, X(i') is the average thickness of the [(nd / 2)-4th]th to [(nd / 2)+5th]th pixels, X(5) is the thickness of the 5th pixel from the edge, If nd is an odd number, (nd / 2) is the value rounded to the nearest tenth of a decimal place. For the case where nd is an odd number, for example, if we measure with 25 pixels (i.e., nd is 25), then X(i') is the average thickness of the 13th to 18th pixels.
[0273] In one embodiment of the present invention, the [(nd / 2)-4th]th to [(nd / 2)+5th]th pixels refer to pixels located in the center of a larger group of pixels.
[0274] In one embodiment of the present invention, nd is 20-10 4 integers between 20 and 10 3 It is an integer between 20 and 100.
[0275] In one embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the pixel can be measured by an optical thickness measuring device. While such a device may be an optical profiler from Bruker, it is not limited to this.
[0276] In one embodiment of the present invention, satisfying formula 1 means that the difference between the average thickness of the pixels located in the center of a plurality of pixels and the thickness of the pixel located 5th from the edge is 5 nm or less. In other words, it means that there is almost no difference in thickness between the center and the edge of the pixel. Therefore, satisfying formula 1 means that the thickness uniformity between pixels has improved.
[0277] In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic layer satisfies the following formula 2. [Formula 2] |X(i')-X(4)|≦5nm In the above formula 2, X(i') is the same as defined in Equation 1, X(4) is the thickness of the fourth pixel from the edge.
[0278] In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic layer satisfies the following formula 3. [Formula 3] |X(i')-X(3)|≦5nm In the above formula 3, X(i') is the same as defined in Equation 1, X(3) is the thickness of the third pixel from the edge.
[0279] In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic layer contains pixels that satisfy the following formula 11 within two positions from the edge. [Formula 11] |Y(20)-Y(80)|≦5nm
[0280] In the above formula 11, Y(20) is the thin film height in the section that accounts for 20% of the pixel length, and Y(80) is the thin film height in the section that accounts for 80% of the pixel length.
[0281] Satisfying equation 11 means that in a single pixel having length Lx, the difference between the thin film height of the section that is 20% of the length (0.2Lx) and the thin film height of the section that is 80% of the length (0.8Lx) is 5 nm or less. In other words, satisfying equation 11 means that the thin film within the pixel is formed symmetrically without tilting to one side.
[0282] The fact that the pixels satisfying equation 11 are within two pixels of the edge means that the shape and thickness of the edge-side pixels among the formed pixels are maintained. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the deviation in shape and thickness between the edge pixels and the central pixels was small during generation.
[0283] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pixels contained in the organic layer exhibit excellent thickness uniformity both between multiple pixels and within a single pixel.
[0284] In one embodiment of the present invention, the length (Lx) of the pixel is 10 μm to 300 μm.
[0285] In this invention, the term "edge" refers to the portions at both ends where the ink composition is printed. For example, in Figures 7 and 8, when the ink is printed in the direction from (a) to (b) (arrow direction), portions (a) or (b) are referred to as the edge. Figure 7 illustrates the application of the ink composition in the longitudinal direction, but the application direction of the ink composition is not limited to this. For example, the ink may be applied in the transverse direction.
[0286] In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic layer is included in an organic light-emitting element.
[0287] In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic layer is formed via a solution process.

[0300] One embodiment of the present invention involves the step of preparing a first electrode; The step of forming at least one organic layer on the first electrode; and The step includes forming a second electrode on the at least one organic layer, The present invention provides a method for manufacturing an organic light-emitting element, wherein the step of forming the organic layer includes the step of forming the organic layer using the ink composition described above.
[0301] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of forming an organic layer using the ink composition is performed using a spin coating method.
[0302] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of forming an organic layer using the ink composition is performed by a printing method.
[0303] In one embodiment of the present invention, the printing method may be, for example, inkjet printing, nozzle printing, offset printing, transfer printing, or screen printing, but is not limited to the printing method described above.
[0304] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of forming an organic layer using the ink composition is performed using an inkjet printing method.
[0305] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of forming at least one organic layer using the ink composition can be performed by applying the ink composition onto a substrate including a bank or an organic layer, and then drying or heat-treating it.
[0306] As an example, the aforementioned ink composition may be applied to a substrate containing a line-shaped bank (line bank inkjet substrate, Figure 4) (Figure 5), and then the ink composition may be dried or heat-treated to form a thin film (Figure 6).
[0307] As another example, the ink composition may be applied to a substrate that includes banks that do not form lines. In this case, the ink composition is applied to each of the banks.
[0308] The ink composition according to one embodiment of the present invention is suitable for solution processing due to its structural properties, and an organic layer can be formed by printing, thus providing economic benefits in terms of time and cost during the manufacturing of the device.
[0309] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of forming an organic layer on the first electrode may further include a drying step after one or more depressurization steps. For example, the step of forming at least one organic layer on the first electrode further includes a drying step after two depressurization steps. In this case, the drying step after the first depressurization is performed at atmospheric pressure ~2 × 10⁻⁶ -2 The procedure was performed using Torr, starting from atmospheric pressure and exceeding 2 × 10⁻⁶. -2 The depressurization time until torr can be 30 to 600 seconds. Furthermore, the drying stage after the second depressurization is 2 × 10 -2 torr~2×10 -6 It was done in torr, 2 × 10 -2 Torr to 2x10 -6 The decompression time to reach Torr may be between 30 and 600 seconds.

[0314] If the step of forming an organic layer using the ink composition includes the heat treatment or phototreatment step, it is possible to provide an organic layer containing a structure in which multiple compounds contained in the ink composition form crosslinks and become a thin film. In this case, when laminating other layers on the surface of the organic layer formed using the ink composition, it is possible to prevent dissolution by the solvent, morphological influence, or decomposition.
[0315] Therefore, when the organic layer is formed by heat treatment or phototreatment of the ink composition, its resistance to the solvent increases. This allows for the repeated formation of a multilayer by solution deposition and crosslinking methods, increasing stability and extending the lifespan of the device.

[0398] Examples 1-2 to 1-45 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-24. The organic layer was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1-1, except that the ink composition listed in Table 2 below was used instead of ink composition 1, and the thickness of the pixels was measured.
[0399] Table 2 below shows the results of selecting one line from among multiple pixels formed by thin films of the ink compositions produced in Examples 1-1 to 1-45 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-24. The average thickness of 10 pixels located at the center of the line was compared with the thickness of pixels located at the edge of the line, and the number of pixels from the edge where the thin film with a thickness deviation of 5 nm or less was located was indicated.
[0400] In this process, the thickness of the pixels contained within the cured thin film was measured using an optical thickness measuring device, the Optical Profiler (model name: ContourGT-I) from Bruker.
[0401] Specifically, in a line bank where 70 pixels are formed in a row, the average thickness of the 31st to 40th pixels was compared with the thickness of the i-th pixel from the edge. The minimum value of i for which this difference is ±5 nm is shown in Table 2 below. In this case, a smaller number for i means that the thickness is formed more uniformly closer to the edge (i.e., the thickness uniformity is improved).
[0402] [Table 2-1]
[0403] [Table 2-2]
[0404] As shown in Table 2 above, in Examples 1-1 to 1-45, pixels exhibiting a center average thickness of ±5 nm are located 5th or lower from the edge, whereas in Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-24, they are located 6th or higher.
[0405] In this regard, Figures 9 and 10 show the pixel thickness uniformity characteristics according to embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, Figure 9 shows the pixel thickness uniformity measured in Example 1-1, and Figure 10 shows the pixel thickness uniformity measured in Comparative Example 1-1. In Figures 9 and 10, the horizontal axis represents the spacing between pixels (μm), and the vertical axis represents the pixel thickness (nm). Figures 9 and 10 show that in Example 1-1 (Figure 8), which uses the ink composition according to one embodiment of the present invention, the number of pixels with a thicker thin film is small even towards the edges, whereas in Comparative Example 1-1 (Figure 10), which does not use the ink composition according to one embodiment of the present invention, the number of pixels with a thicker thin film increases as you move towards the edges, and the thickness of the thin film also increases.
[0406] This shows that when using an ink composition according to one embodiment of the present invention, the uniformity of thickness is improved. As a result, when used in organic layers within organic light-emitting devices, factors that affect the interference conditions of light emitted according to thickness are reduced, and excellent light emission and / or color development effects can be expected. On the other hand, when using an ink composition that does not correspond to the present invention, the difference in thickness between pixels is large and the uniformity of thickness is unbalanced, so it can be predicted that the performance of the device will deteriorate when applied to organic layers within organic light-emitting devices.
[0407] Example 2-1. The ink composition 1 was printed onto a substrate on which 30 × 60 pixels were formed. The printed substrate was placed in a vacuum chamber and subjected to high vacuum (1 × 10) for no more than 10 minutes. -6 The temperature was reduced to below torr. The thin film was cured by heat treatment in a glove box (N2 atmosphere, 230°C hot plate conditions) for 30 minutes.
[0408] Figure 8 is a plan view of the organic material layer in which the separated banks are formed. In Figure 8, the ink composition is printed in the direction from (a) to (b) (arrow direction), and in this case, the part (a) or (b) is referred to as the edge.
[0409] Examples 2-2 to 2-27 and Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-14. The organic layer was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 2-1, except that the ink composition described in Table 3 below was used instead of ink composition 1, and the step difference in the thin film height within the pixel was measured.
[0410] In this process, the step difference in thin film height within the pixel was measured using a thin film thickness measuring device, the Optical Profiler (model name: ContourGT-I) from Bruker.
[0411] The step difference in thin film height between sections where the pixel length is 20% and 80% within a single pixel was measured, and the minimum value of i for which this difference is ±5 nm is shown in Table 3 below. Here, i represents the i-th pixel from the edge. Furthermore, a smaller number for i means that the thickness of the thin film within the pixel is formed more uniformly closer to the edge (i.e., the thickness uniformity is improved).
[0412] [Table 3-1]
[0413] [Table 3-2]
[0414] A height difference of ±5 nm between the section representing 20% of the pixel length and the section representing 80% of the pixel length (i.e., an absolute value of the height difference of 5 nm or less) means that the thickness of the thin film is uniformly formed in the pixel.
[0415] From Table 3 above, it can be seen that in Examples 2-1 to 2-27, the thin film within the pixels was formed symmetrically without tilting to one side, even to pixels closer to the edge, compared to Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-14. In other words, when applying the ink composition according to one embodiment of the present invention, it can be seen that the thickness of the thin film was formed more uniformly to pixels closer to the edge than when other ink compositions were applied.
[0416] As a result, the ink composition of the present invention can be used in organic layers within organic light-emitting devices, reducing factors that affect the interference conditions of light emitted according to its thickness, and allowing for the expectation of excellent light emission and / or color development effects. On the other hand, when using an ink composition that does not correspond to the present invention, the thin film on the edge side is not formed uniformly, so when applied to organic layers within organic light-emitting devices, a decrease in the performance of the device can be expected.
[0417] <Experimental Example B> Example 3-1. A glass substrate coated with a thin film of ITO (indium tin oxide) to a thickness of 700 Å was then hydrophobic, and a bank-patterned glass substrate was washed with distilled water for 30 minutes, followed by drying on a 230°C hot plate for 10 minutes. Ink composition 1 from Table 1 was inkjet printed onto the bank-patterned washed substrate and heat-treated at 230°C for 30 minutes to form a 30 nm thick hole injection layer. An ink containing α-NPD compound dissolved in cyclohexylbenzene at a concentration of 2 wt% was inkjet printed onto the hole injection layer to form a 40 nm thick hole transport layer. After transferring to a vacuum vapor deposition chamber, an emissive layer was formed on the hole transport layer by vacuum deposition of the ADN compound and DPAVBi compound in a weight ratio of 20:1 (ADN:DPAVBi) to a thickness of 20 nm. An electron injection and transport layer was formed on the emissive layer by vacuum deposition of the BCP compound to a thickness of 35 nm. An organic light-emitting element was fabricated by depositing LiF to a thickness of 1 nm and aluminum to a thickness of 100 nm on the aforementioned electron injection and transport layer to form a cathode.

[0419] Examples 3-2 to 3-46. An organic light-emitting element was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 3-1, except that the ink composition shown in Table 4 below was used instead of ink composition 1.
[0420] [Table 4-1]
[0421] [Table 4-2] We confirmed that the organic light-emitting elements prepared in Examples 3-1 to 3-46 were driven. This confirmed that the ink compositions according to the embodiments of the present invention are applicable to organic light-emitting elements.
[0422] Comparative Examples 3-1 to 3-4. Ink compositions 72 to 75 were produced in the same manner as in Production Example 1, except that compound H-1, compound DA, the first solvent, and the additional solvent were the substances listed in Table 5 below.
[0423] Subsequently, an organic light-emitting element was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 3-1, except that the ink composition shown in Table 6 below was used instead of ink composition 1.
[0424] The structures of compounds X-1 to X-4 used in Table 5 below are as follows. [ka]
[0425] [Table 5]
[0426] The efficiency and lifetime values of the organic light-emitting elements manufactured in Examples 3-1, 3-17, 3-29, and 3-31 and those manufactured in Comparative Examples 3-1 to 3-4 are compared and shown in Table 6 below.
[0427] The relative efficiency and relative life values in Table 6 below were calculated as follows. *Relative efficiency: Efficiency of Example X / Efficiency of Example 3-29 *T95 relative value: T95 of Example X / T95 of Example 3-29 (Example X: Examples 3-1, 3-17, 3-29, 3-31, Comparative Examples 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 or 3-4) In this case, T95 indicates the lifespan, and is the value measured from the time it takes to reach 95% of the initial brightness level under a constant current condition of 1000 nits.
[0428] [Table 6]
[0429] From Tables 5 and 6, it can be seen that when the host is changed in the ink compositions of this specification, the efficiency and lifespan of the organic light-emitting element decrease. [Explanation of symbols]
