STIt is preferable that the value is 0.3 eV or less, more preferable that it is 0.25 eV or less, more preferable that it is 0.2 eV or less, more preferable that it is 0.15 eV or less, more preferable that it is 0.1 eV or less, more preferable that it is 0.07 eV or less, even more preferable that it is 0.05 eV or less, even more preferable that it is 0.03 eV or less, and particularly preferable that it is 0.01 eV or less.

In one embodiment, the composition within the light-emitting layer may be 10 to 70 wt% of the host material, 10 to 80 wt% of the first TADF molecule, and 0.1 to 30 wt% of the second TADF molecule.

In some embodiments, the exciton barrier layer enables effective confinement of excitons in the emitting layer. In some embodiments, the light emission efficiency of the device is improved. In some embodiments, the exciton barrier layer may be located adjacent to only one of the anode side or the cathode side of the emitting layer, or one exciton barrier layer may be located adjacent to the anode side of the emitting layer while another exciton barrier layer is located adjacent to the cathode side of the emitting layer. In some embodiments, when the exciton barrier layer is located on the anode side, the layer may be located between the hole transport layer and the emitting layer and adjacent to the emitting layer. In some embodiments, when the exciton barrier layer is located on the cathode side, the layer may be located between the emitting layer and the cathode and adjacent to the emitting layer.

[0405] [Chemical Formula 55]

[0406]

[0407] Although specific examples of preferred materials that can be used in organic electroluminescent devices have been provided, the materials that can be used in the present invention are not limited to the following exemplary compounds. Furthermore, even if a compound is exemplified as a material having a specific function, it is possible to repurpose it as a material having other functions.

[0408] Device:

[0409] In some embodiments, the light-emitting layer is included in the device. For example, the device includes, but is not limited to, OLED valves, OLED lamps, displays for televisions, monitors for computers, mobile phones, and tablets.

[0410] In some embodiments, the electronic device comprises an OLED having at least one organic layer comprising an anode, a cathode, and a light-emitting layer between the anode and the cathode.

[0411] In some embodiments, the composition described herein may be included in various photosensitive or photoactive devices, such as OLEDs or optoelectronic devices. In some embodiments, the composition may be useful for promoting charge transfer or energy transfer within the device and / or as a hole transport material. Examples of such devices include organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic integrated circuits (OICs), organic field-effect transistors (O-FETs), organic thin-film transistors (O-TFTs), organic light-emitting transistors (O-LETs), organic solar cells (O-SCs), organic optical detectors, organic photoreceptors, organic field-quenching devices (O-FQDs), light-emitting fuel cells (LECs), or organic laser diodes (O-lasers).

[0412] Valve or lamp:

[0413] In some embodiments, the electronic device comprises an OLED comprising at least one organic layer including an anode, a cathode, and a light-emitting layer between the anode and the cathode.

[0414] In some embodiments, the device includes OLEDs of different colors. In some embodiments, the device includes an array including a combination of OLEDs. In some embodiments, the combination of OLEDs is a combination of three colors (e.g., RGB). In some embodiments, the combination of OLEDs is a combination of colors that are neither red, green, nor blue (e.g., orange and yellow-green). In some embodiments, the combination of OLEDs is a combination of two, four, or more colors.

[0415] In some embodiments, the device is,

[0416] A circuit board having a first surface having a mounting surface and a second surface opposite thereto, and defining at least one opening, and

[0417] At least one OLED on the above-mentioned mounting surface, and at least one OLED having a light-emitting configuration in which the at least one OLED comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and at least one organic layer including a light-emitting layer between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and

[0418] Housing for a circuit board and,

[0419] It is an OLED light having at least one connector disposed at the end of the housing, wherein the housing and the connector define a package suitable for mounting to a lighting fixture.

[0420] In some embodiments, the OLED light has a plurality of OLEDs mounted on a circuit board so as to emit light in a plurality of directions. In some embodiments, some of the light emitted in a first direction is polarized and emitted in a second direction. In some embodiments, a reflector is used to polarize the light emitted in the first direction.

[0421] Display or screen:

[0422] In some embodiments, the light-emitting layer of the present invention may be used in a screen or display. In some embodiments, the compound according to the present invention is deposited onto a substrate using a process such as vacuum evaporation, deposition, deposition, or chemical vapor deposition (CVD), though not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the substrate is a photoplate structure useful for two-sided etching that provides pixels with a unique aspect ratio. The screen (also called a mask) is used in the manufacturing process of an OLED display. By designing a corresponding artwork pattern, it is possible to arrange very steep and narrow tie bars between pixels in the vertical direction, and large, wide oblique openings in the horizontal direction. This enables the fine pattern configuration of pixels required for high-resolution displays while optimizing chemical vapor deposition onto the TFT backplane.

[0423] By internal patterning of the pixels, it becomes possible to construct three-dimensional pixel openings with various aspect ratios in the horizontal and vertical directions. Additionally, the use of an imaged "stripe" or halftone circle within the pixel area protects etching in a specific area until these specific patterns are undercut and removed from the substrate. At that time, all pixel areas are processed at the same etching rate, but the depth varies depending on the halftone pattern. By changing the size and spacing of the halftone pattern, different etchings with varying protection rates within the pixel become possible, enabling localized deep etching necessary to form steep vertical angles.

[0424] A preferred material for a deposition mask is invar. Invar is a metal alloy that is cold-rolled into long, thin sheets at a steel mill. Invar cannot be electrodeposited onto a spin mandrel as a nickel mask. A suitable and low-cost method for forming an opening region within a deposition mask is by wet chemical etching.

[0425] In some embodiments, the screen or display pattern is a pixel matrix on a substrate. In some embodiments, the screen or display pattern is processed using lithography (e.g., photolithography and e-beam lithography). In some embodiments, the screen or display pattern is processed using wet chemical etching. In one further embodiment, the screen or display pattern is processed using plasma etching.

[0426] Method of manufacturing the device:

[0427] OLED displays are generally manufactured by forming a large mother panel and then cutting the mother panel into cell panel units. Typically, each cell panel on the mother panel is formed by forming a thin-film transistor (TFT) having an active layer and source / drain electrodes on a base substrate, applying a planarization film to the TFT to sequentially form a pixel electrode, an emitting layer, a counter electrode, and an encapsulation layer over time, and then cutting from the mother panel.

[0428] In another aspect of the present invention, a method for manufacturing an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display is provided, and said method,

[0429] A process of forming a barrier layer on a base substrate of a mother panel, and

[0430] A process of forming a plurality of display units in cell panel units on the above barrier layer, and

[0431] A process of forming an encapsulation layer on each of the display units of the cell panel above, and

[0432] The method includes a process of applying an organic film to the interface portion between the cell panels.

[0433] In some embodiments, the barrier layer is an inorganic film formed, for example, of SiNx, and the ends of the barrier layer are covered with an organic film formed of polyimide or acrylic. In some embodiments, the organic film assists in smoothly cutting the mother panel into cell panel units.

[0434] In some embodiments, the thin-film transistor (TFT) layer has a light-emitting layer, a gate electrode, and source / drain electrodes. Each of the plurality of display units may have a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer, a planarization film formed on the TFT layer, and a light-emitting unit formed on the planarization film, and the organic film applied to the interface portion is formed from the same material as the material of the planarization film and is formed simultaneously with the formation of the planarization film. In some embodiments, the light-emitting unit is connected to the TFT layer by a passivation layer, a planarization film between them, and an encapsulation layer that covers and protects the light-emitting unit. In some embodiments of the above manufacturing method, the organic film is not connected to either the display unit or the encapsulation layer.

[0435] Each of the above organic film and planarization film may include either polyimide or acrylic. In some embodiments, the barrier layer may be an inorganic film. In some embodiments, the base substrate may be formed of polyimide. The method may also include a process of mounting a carrier substrate formed of a glass material on another surface of the base substrate before forming a barrier layer on one surface of the base substrate formed of polyimide, and a process of separating the carrier substrate from the base substrate before cutting along the interface portion. In some embodiments, the OLED display is a flexible display.

[0436] In some embodiments, the passivation layer is an organic film disposed on the TFT layer for coating the TFT layer. In some embodiments, the planarization film is an organic film formed on the passivation layer. In some embodiments, the planarization film is formed of polyimide or acrylic, just like the organic film formed at the end of the barrier layer. In some embodiments, the planarization film and the organic film are formed simultaneously during the manufacture of the OLED display. In some embodiments, the organic film may be formed at the end of the barrier layer, so that a portion of the organic film directly contacts the base substrate, and the remaining portion of the organic film surrounds the end of the barrier layer and contacts the barrier layer.

[0437] In some embodiments, the light-emitting layer has a pixel electrode, a counter electrode, and an organic light-emitting layer disposed between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode. In some embodiments, the pixel electrode is connected to the source / drain electrode of the TFT layer.

[0438] In some embodiments, when a voltage is applied to a pixel electrode through a TFT layer, an appropriate voltage is formed between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode, thereby causing the organic light-emitting layer to emit light and thereby form an image. Hereinafter, an image forming unit having a TFT layer and a light-emitting unit is referred to as a display unit.

[0439] In some embodiments, the encapsulation layer covering the display unit to prevent the penetration of external moisture may be formed as a thin-film encapsulation structure in which an organic film and an inorganic film are alternately stacked. In some embodiments, the encapsulation layer has a thin-film encapsulation structure in which a plurality of thin films are stacked. In some embodiments, the organic film applied to the interface portion is arranged with a gap between each of the plurality of display units. In some embodiments, the organic film is formed such that a portion of the organic film is in direct contact with the base substrate, while the remaining portion of the organic film surrounds the end of the barrier layer and contacts the barrier layer.

[0440] In one embodiment, the OLED display is flexible and uses a flexible base substrate formed of polyimide. In several embodiments, the base substrate is formed on a carrier substrate formed of a glass material, and then the carrier substrate is separated.

[0441] In some embodiments, the barrier layer is formed on the surface of the base substrate opposite the carrier substrate. In one embodiment, the barrier layer is patterned according to the size of each cell panel. For example, while the base substrate is formed on all surfaces of the mother panel, the barrier layer is formed according to the size of each cell panel, thereby forming a groove in the interface portion between the barrier layers of the cell panels. Each cell panel can be cut along the groove.

[0442] In some embodiments, the above manufacturing method further includes a process of cutting along the interface portion, wherein a groove is formed in the barrier layer, and at least a portion of the organic film is formed in the groove so that the groove does not penetrate into the base substrate. In some embodiments, a TFT layer of each cell panel is formed, and a passivation layer which is an inorganic film and a flattening film which is an organic film are disposed on the TFT layer to cover the TFT layer. For example, a flattening film made of polyimide or acrylic is formed, and at the same time, the groove of the interface portion is covered with an organic film made of polyimide or acrylic. This prevents cracking by absorbing the impact generated when each cell panel is cut along the groove at the interface portion into the organic film. That is, if all barrier layers are completely exposed without an organic film, the impact generated when each cell panel is cut along the groove at the interface portion is transmitted to the barrier layer, thereby increasing the risk of cracking. However, in one embodiment, the grooves of the interface portion between the barrier layers are covered with an organic film, and each cell panel may be softly cut to absorb the shock that would otherwise be transmitted to the barrier layer without the organic film, thereby preventing cracks from forming in the barrier layer. In one embodiment, the organic film covering the grooves of the interface portion and the flattening film are spaced apart from each other. For example, if the organic film and the flattening film are connected to each other as a single layer, there is a risk that external moisture may enter the display unit through the remaining portions of the flattening film and the organic film; therefore, the organic film and the flattening film are spaced apart from each other, such as the organic film being spaced apart from the display unit.

[0443] In some embodiments, the display unit is formed by the formation of a light-emitting unit, and the encapsulation layer is disposed on the display unit to cover the display unit. Thus, after the mother panel is completely manufactured, the carrier substrate supporting the base substrate is separated from the base substrate. In some embodiments, when a laser beam is emitted onto the carrier substrate, the carrier substrate is separated from the base substrate due to the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion between the carrier substrate and the base substrate.

[0444] In some embodiments, the mother panel is cut into cell panel units. In some embodiments, the mother panel is cut along the interface between cell panels using a cutter. In some embodiments, the groove of the interface along which the mother panel is cut is covered with an organic film, so the organic film absorbs shock during cutting. In some embodiments, cracking in the barrier layer can be prevented during cutting.

[0445] In some embodiments, the above method reduces the defect rate of the product and stabilizes its quality.

[0446] Another aspect is an OLED display having a barrier layer formed on a base substrate, a display unit formed on the barrier layer, an encapsulation layer formed on the display unit, and an organic film applied to the end of the barrier layer.

[0505]

[0506] Comparative Compound 1 Comparative Compound 2

[0507] (Example 1) Fabrication and Evaluation of Thin Films

[0508] By vacuum deposition on a quartz substrate, vacuum degree 1×10 -3 Compound A was deposited under conditions of less than Pa, and a knit thin film composed of Compound A was formed to a thickness of 100 nm. Separately, on a quartz substrate, by vacuum deposition at a vacuum degree of 1×10⁻⁶ -3 Compound A and H1 were deposited from different deposition sources under conditions of less than Pa, and a dope thin film with a concentration of compound A of 35 wt% was formed to a thickness of 100 nm.

[0509] Instead of compound A, compound B, comparative compound 1, and comparative compound 2 were used, respectively, to form knit thin films and dope thin films in the same manner.

[0510] The energies of HOMO and LUMO were measured using each formed knit thin film. The measurement results are shown in Table 4. When 300 nm excitation light was irradiated onto each formed dope thin film, delayed fluorescence was observed. When the delayed fluorescence lifetime (τ2) was measured, Compound A was about 54 μ seconds shorter than Comparative Compound 1, and Compound B was about 261 μ seconds shorter than Comparative Compound 2. In addition, the orientation degree (S value) of Compound A, Compound B, Comparative Compound 1, and Comparative Compound 2 was determined using each formed dope thin film by the method described in Scientific Reports 2017, 7, 8405. As a result, it was confirmed that Compound A had an S value about 0.71 lower than Comparative Compound 1, Compound B had an S value about 0.48 lower than Comparative Compound 2, and the compound represented by general formula (1) was closer to -0.5. An S value of -0.5 indicates the state of being most horizontally oriented. These results indicate that the compound represented by general formula (1) has a short delayed fluorescence lifetime and high orientation within the emitting layer.

[0511] (Example 2) Fabrication and Evaluation of Organic Electroluminescence Device

[0512] On a glass substrate on which an anode consisting of indium tin oxide (ITO) with a film thickness of 100 nm is formed, each thin film is deposited by vacuum deposition at a vacuum degree of 1×10 -6Pa was stacked. First, HATCN was formed on ITO with a thickness of 10 nm, and NPD was formed on top of it with a thickness of 30 nm. Subsequently, TrisPCz was formed on top of it with a thickness of 10 nm, and PTCz was formed on top of it with a thickness of 5 nm. Next, H1 and compound A were co-deposited from different deposition sources to form a emitting layer with a thickness of 40 nm. At this time, the concentration of the compound represented by general formula (1) was set to 35 wt%. On top of that, SF3TRZ was formed with a thickness of 10 nm, and additionally, SF3TRZ and Liq were co-deposited from different deposition sources to form a layer with a thickness of 30 nm. At this time, the SF3TRZ:Liq (weight ratio) was set to 7:3. Additionally, Liq was formed with a thickness of 2 nm, and then aluminum (Al) was deposited with a thickness of 100 nm to form a cathode. Following the above procedure, the organic electroluminescence device of Example 2 was fabricated.

[0513] An organic electroluminescent device was formed by using Compound B, Comparative Compound 1, and Comparative Compound 2, respectively, instead of Compound A.

[0514] As a result of energizing each fabricated organic electroluminescent device, it was confirmed that all devices operated at a low voltage of 4.3V or less. In addition, each organic electroluminescent device at 50mA / cm 2 As a result of continuously emitting light and measuring the time (LT95) until the light intensity decreased to 95% of the level at the start of operation, the results shown in Table 4 were obtained.

[0515] (Example 3) Fabrication and Evaluation of Organic Electroluminescence Device

[0516] An organic electroluminescence device of Example 3 was fabricated by the same procedure as in Example 2, except that the light-emitting layer of Example 2 was formed by co-depositing H1, compound A, and F38 from different deposition sources to form a light-emitting layer with a thickness of 30 nm. In the light-emitting layer of Example 3, the concentration of H1 was 64.5 wt%, the concentration of compound A was 35 wt%, and the concentration of F38 was 0.5 wt%.

[0517] An organic electroluminescent device was formed by using Compound B, Comparative Compound 1, and Comparative Compound 2, respectively, instead of Compound A.

[0518] As a result of energizing each fabricated organic electroluminescent device, it was confirmed that all devices operated at a low voltage of 4.3V or less. In addition, each organic electroluminescent device at 50mA / cm 2 As a result of continuously emitting light and measuring the time (LT95) until the light intensity decreased to 95% of the level at the start of operation, the results shown in Table 4 were obtained.
