Abstract

Technology Field
[0001] This specification relates to organic light-emitting diodes. Background Technology
[0002] Generally, organic light emission refers to the phenomenon of converting electrical energy into light energy using organic materials. Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that utilize this phenomenon typically have a structure comprising an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer between them. Here, the organic layer is often composed of a multilayer structure made of different materials to enhance the efficiency and stability of the OLED; for example, it may consist of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an emissive layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer. In the structure of such an OLED, when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, holes are injected from the anode and electrons are injected into the organic layer. When the injected holes and electrons meet, an exciton is formed, and light is emitted when this exciton returns to the ground state.

[0023] According to the present specification, an organic light-emitting device comprising a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and a compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 can lower the driving voltage, improve light efficiency, or improve the lifespan characteristics of the device. Brief explanation of the drawing
[0024] FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate experimental results for confirming the premixing of a first compound and a second compound used in fabricating an organic light-emitting diode according to one embodiment of the present specification. FIGS. 3 to 6 illustrate an organic light-emitting element according to one embodiment of the present specification. Specific details for implementing the invention
[0025] Hereinafter, to aid understanding, the terms used in this specification will be explained in more detail.
[0026] In this specification, when it is said that a member is positioned "on" or "above" another member, this includes not only cases where a member is in contact with another member, but also cases where another member exists between the two members.
[0027] In this specification, when a part is described as "comprising" a certain component, it means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components.
[0028] In this specification, the term "layer" is used in a sense compatible with "film" commonly used in the art and refers to a coating that covers a desired area. The size of the "layer" is not limited, and each "layer" may have the same or different size. In one embodiment, the size of the "layer" may be equal to the entire device, correspond to the size of a specific functional area, or be as small as a single subpixel.
[0029] In this specification, the meaning of a specific A substance being included in a B layer includes both i) one or more types of A substances being included in a single B layer and ii) the B layer being composed of one or more layers and A substance being included in one or more layers among the multilayer B layers.
[0030] In this specification, the meaning that a specific A material is included in a C layer or a D layer is that it is included in at least one of the C layers, ii) included in at least one of the D layers, or iii) included in each of the C layers and the D layers.
[0031] The organic layer of the organic light-emitting device of the present specification may be formed as a single layer structure, but may also be formed as a multilayer structure in which two or more organic layers are stacked. For example, it may have a structure including a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, an electron blocking layer, a hole blocking layer, etc. However, the structure of the organic light-emitting device is not limited thereto.
[0032] In this specification, "deuterated" or "deuterated" means that a hydrogen at a substitutable position of a compound is replaced with deuterium.
[0033] In this specification, "deuteriumized" means a compound or group in which all hydrogens in the molecule are substituted or unsubstituted with deuterium, and has the same meaning as "100% deuteriumized."
[0034] In this specification, "X% deuterated," "degree of deuteration X%," or "deuterium substitution rate X%" means that X% of the hydrogens at substitutable positions in the structure are replaced with deuterium. For example, if the structure is dibenzofuran, "25% deuterated" of the dibenzofuran, "degree of deuteration 25%" of the dibenzofuran, or "deuterium substitution rate 25%" of the dibenzofuran means that 2 of the 8 hydrogens at substitutable positions of the dibenzofuran are replaced with or unsubstituted with deuterium.
[0035] In this specification, "deuterium degree" or "deuterium substitution rate" can be determined by known methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR), TLC / MS (Thin-Layer Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry), or GC / MS (Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry).
[0036] Specifically, when analyzing "deuterium" or "deuterium substitution rate" using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR), DMF (dimethylformamide) is added as an internal standard, and the deuterium or deuterium substitution rate can be calculated from the total peak integration amount through the integration ratio on the 1H NMR.
[0037] In addition, when analyzing the "deuteration" or "deuteration rate" through TLC / MS (Thin-Layer Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry), the substitution rate can be calculated based on the maximum value (median) of the distribution of molecular weights at the end of the reaction. For example, when analyzing the deuteration of the following compound A, the molecular weight of the following starting material is 506, and the maximum value (median) of the molecular weight of the following compound A in the MS graph is 527. Since 21 of the 26 hydrogens at substitutable positions of the following starting material were substituted with deuteration, it can be calculated that approximately 81% of the hydrogens were deuterated.
[0038]
[0039] In this specification, D means deuterium.
[0040] In this specification, *, dotted line or refers to the connected part.
[0041] In this specification, Cn means having n carbon atoms, and Cn-Cm means having n to m carbon atoms.
[0042] In this specification, "or" means an inclusive "or" and not an exclusive "or." For example, condition A or B is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or exists) and B is false (or does not exist), A is false (or does not exist) and B is true (or exists), or both A and B are true (or exist).
[0043] In this specification, "mixture of these" or "mixture" means that two or more substances are included. The "mixture" or "mixture" may include, but is not limited to, a state in which they are mixed uniformly and / or non-uniformly, a state in which they are dissolved, a state in which they are dispersed uniformly and / or non-uniformly.
[0044] In this specification, "energy level" or "energy level" refers to the magnitude of energy. Accordingly, an energy level is interpreted as referring to the absolute value of the corresponding energy value. For example, an energy level being low or deep means that the absolute value increases in the negative direction from the vacuum level.
[0045] In this specification, "HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital)" means a molecular orbital in the region with the highest energy in the region where electrons can participate in bonding.
[0046] Furthermore, "LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital)" refers to the molecular orbital (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) in which an electron occupies the lowest energy region within the antibonding domain, and the HOMO energy level refers to the distance from the vacuum level to the HOMO. Additionally, the LUMO energy level refers to the distance from the vacuum level to the LUMO. A determined structure is required to understand the electron distribution within a molecule and to determine its optical properties. Moreover, the electronic structure differs in neutral, anionic, and cation states depending on the charge state of the molecule. While energy levels in the neutral, cationic, and anionic states are all important for device operation, the HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) and LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) in the neutral state are recognized as representative important properties. To determine the molecular structure of a chemical substance, the input structure is optimized using the density functional theory. For DFT calculations, the BPW91 method (Becke exchange and Perdew correlation-correlation functional) and the DNP (double numerical basis set including polarization functional) basis set are used. The BPW91 method is published in the papers 'AD Becke, Phys. Rev. A, 38, 3098 (1988)' and 'JP Perdew and Y. Wang, Phys. Rev. B, 45, 13244 (1992)', and the DNP basis set is published in the paper 'B. Delley, J. Chem. Phys., 92, 508 (1990)'.
[0047] The Biovia 'DMol3' package can be used to perform calculations using the density function method. By determining the optimal molecular structure using the given method, the energy levels that can be occupied by electrons can be obtained as a result.
[0048] In this specification, "singlet energy" or "singlet energy" is denoted by S. This typically refers to an electronic state in which all electrons in a molecule form pairs and the spin quantum number is 0.
[0049] In this specification, "triplet energy" is denoted by T. This refers to an electronic state in a molecule with a spin quantum number of 1. The triplet energy is calculated by using the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) to determine the singlet and triplet energy levels in order to obtain the properties of the excited state for the optimal molecular structure determined by the method described above. Density functional calculations can be performed using the 'Gaussian09' package, a commercial computational program developed by Gaussian. For the time-dependent density functional calculation, the B3PW91 method (Becke exchange and Perdew correlation-correlation functional) and the 6-31G* basis set are used. The 6-31G* basis set is described in the paper 'JA Pople et al., J. Chem. Phys. 56, 2257 (1972)'. For the optimal molecular structure determined using the density functional method, the energies for singlet and triplet electron configurations are calculated using the time-dependent density functional method (TD-DFT).
[0050] In this specification, "stable premixability" means that the composition of the mixed raw material does not change during co-deposition. Stable premixability enables the uniform simultaneous evaporation of two types of host materials (e.g., a first compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and a second compound represented by Chemical Formula 2) and is an important factor in the sustainability of the performance of the organic light-emitting diode.
[0051] In this specification, the "evaporation temperature" of a material is 1x10 at a deposition rate of 2 Å / sec on a surface spaced at a set distance from the evaporation source of the material being evaporated. -6 Torr to 1x10 -9 Measurements are taken into a sublimation crucible of a vacuum deposition tool, such as a VTE chamber (Vacuum thermal evaporation chamber), under a constant pressure of Torr. The various measurements described herein (e.g., temperature, pressure, deposition rate, etc.) are expected to have nominal variation due to the expected tolerance in measurements yielding quantitative values, as is understood by those skilled in the art.
[0052] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein may be used in the practice or testing of embodiments of the present invention, but suitable methods and materials are described below. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, and in the event of conflict, unless a specific passage is not mentioned, the present specification, including definitions, shall prevail. The materials, methods, and experimental examples mentioned herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0053] Hereinafter, substituents mentioned in this specification are described by example, but are not limited thereto.
[0054] In this specification, the term "substitution" means that a hydrogen atom bonded to a carbon atom of a compound is replaced with another substituent, and the substitution site is not limited to the site where the hydrogen atom is substituted, that is, the site where the substituent can be substituted, and in the case of two or more substitutions, the two or more substituents may be the same or different from each other.
[0055] In this specification, the term “substituted or unsubstituted” means that it is substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of deuterium, hydroxyl group, cyano group, halogen group, nitro group, alkyl group, cycloalkyl group, silyl group, aryl group, and heterocyclic group, or that it is substituted with two or more of the exemplified substituents linked together, or that it has no substituents.
[0056] In this specification, the connection of two or more substituents means that a hydrogen of one substituent is connected to another substituent. For example, the connection of two substituents means that a phenyl group and a naphthyl group are connected or It can be a substituent. In addition, the connection of three substituents includes not only the consecutive connection of (substituent 1)-(substituent 2)-(substituent 3), but also the connection of (substituent 2) and (substituent 3) to (substituent 1). For example, a phenyl group, a naphthyl group, and an isopropyl group are connected, , or It can be a substituent. The aforementioned definition applies equally to the connection of 4 or more substituents.

Specific examples may include, but are not limited to, a cyclopropyl group, a cyclobutyl group, a cyclopentyl group, a cyclohexyl group, a cycloheptyl group, a cyclooctyl group, an adamantyl group, etc.
[0064] In this specification, an aryl group refers to a monovalent group of a monovalent aromatic hydrocarbon or an aromatic hydrocarbon derivative. An aromatic hydrocarbon refers to a compound comprising a planar ring in which pi electrons are fully conjugated. Additionally, a group derived from an aromatic hydrocarbon refers to a structure in which an aromatic hydrocarbon or a cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon is condensed to an aromatic hydrocarbon. Furthermore, in this specification, an aryl group comprises a monovalent group in which two or more aromatic hydrocarbons or derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons are connected to each other. The number of carbon atoms in the aryl group is not particularly limited, but it is preferred to be 6 to 50; 6 to 30; 6 to 25; 6 to 20; 6 to 18; or 6 to 13 carbon atoms.

For example, two substituents substituted at the ortho position in a benzene ring and two substituents substituted on the same carbon in an aliphatic ring may be interpreted as adjacent groups.
[0068] In this specification, the substituted aryl group may also include a form in which an aliphatic ring is condensed to the aryl group.

[0075] The inventors have discovered suitable conditions applicable to a phenanthrene dimer type host (hereinafter a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1) and an anthracene type host (hereinafter a compound represented by Chemical Formula 2) that are useful as blue fluorescent host materials and can simultaneously provide a stable co-evaporation mixture after premixing.
[0076] The light-emitting layer of an organic light-emitting device exhibiting excellent lifespan and efficiency requires more than two components (e.g., three or four components). In this case, compared to a light-emitting layer having only two raw materials (i.e., a single host material and a dopant), a very complex process and high cost are required. Pre-mixing two or more materials and evaporating them from a single raw material can reduce the complexity of the manufacturing process. The adopted hole transport host(s) and another type of host (e.g., electron transport host) can be mixed and simultaneously evaporated in a single crucible to achieve stable evaporation.
[0077] However, co-evaporation must be stable, which means that the composition of the evaporated film must remain constant during the manufacturing process. Any arbitrary change in composition can adversely affect device performance. Under vacuum conditions, a mixture is formed from two or more compounds, and a stable co-evaporation mixture is obtained from this mixture. As a condition for a stable co-evaporation mixture, it is expected that the compounds must have the same evaporation temperature under the same conditions. However, it is not expected that the same evaporation temperature is the sole parameter acting to obtain a stable co-evaporation mixture. For example, when two compounds are mixed, they may interact with each other, thereby altering the evaporation characteristics of the individual compounds. Alternatively, a stable co-evaporation mixture can be produced even if the two compounds have different evaporation temperatures. Therefore, achieving a stable co-evaporation mixture is difficult. Although various host materials have existed, there is little literature describing examples where a stable co-evaporation mixture can be obtained from them.
[0078] In this specification, a new class of phenanthrene host material (represented by Formula 1) and anthracene host material (represented by Formula 2) is presented, which are useful as blue fluorescent host materials and can be premixed to provide a stable co-evaporation mixture. A number of factors other than temperature (e.g., miscibility of different materials, different phase transitions) can contribute to evaporation. The inventors have discovered that if two materials have similar evaporation temperatures and similar mass loss rates or similar vapor pressures, the two materials can be continuously co-evaporated. The mass loss rate is defined as the percentage of mass loss over time (minutes) and is determined by measuring the time required for the first 10% mass loss, as measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) under the same experimental conditions at the same given constant temperature for each compound after the composition has reached a steady evaporation state. The given constant temperature is a temperature point selected such that the mass loss rate value is about 0.05 to 0.50% / minute. Those skilled in the art will understand that experimental conditions must be constant to compare the two parameters. Methods for measuring mass loss rate and vapor pressure are well known in the field and can be found, for example, in the literature [Bull. et al. Mater. Sci. 2011, 34, 7]. In addition, the inventors have discovered that, in order to achieve a stable co-evaporation mixture, when the compounds have similar sublimation temperatures and the change in composition is simultaneously within 5%, the compounds can be continuously co-evaporated and there is no variation in device performance.
[0079] Among the two components of a blue fluorescent host, an anthracene host material is disclosed in prior art JP 6328890 B2. To manufacture a blue fluorescent emitting layer having such a mixed host material, three evaporation sources (i.e., two types of host materials and a blue fluorescent dopant) are required. The concentrations of the cohost and dopant are important for device performance, and typically, the deposition rate of each component is measured individually during deposition. However, manufacturing a blue fluorescent emitting layer from three evaporation sources requires a complex process and high costs. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the number of evaporation sources by mixing two or more components.
[0080] In this specification, when two types of blue fluorescent host materials are premixed and the mixture is prepared through thermal sublimation, if the difference in composition between each compound is within a certain range, it is determined that the mixture has stable premixability as it can be co-deposited from a single raw material. The said premixability is as previously defined. The uniform simultaneous evaporation of the two host materials is important for the sustainability of the device performance manufactured from them.
[0081] When the first compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and the second compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 were premixed, an experiment was conducted to determine if they possessed stable premixability. In addition, when fabricating a device using the prepared premix, an experiment was conducted to determine if they were stable during film formation. Premixability and film formation stability were evaluated by analyzing the concentrations of each compound before deposition and the compound in the film state after deposition using HPLC (High performance liquid chromatography).
[0082] *Manufacturing of Sample 1
[0083] Typically, Sample 1 was prepared using the first compound and the second compound of combination 6 of Table 5 below.
[0084] 0.15 g of the first compound (combination 6) and 0.15 g of the second compound (combination 6) were mixed and ground in a weight ratio of 1:1, then loaded into an evaporation source inside the chamber of a sublimation purifier, and sublimation was carried out to obtain 0.25 g of a premixture (R1) and 0.5 g of the remaining amount (boat) of the evaporation source.
[0085] As a result of analyzing each sample by HPLC, the changes in the composition of the first and second compounds in the premixture (R1) and the remaining amount of the evaporation source (boat) before sublimation (judged based on the difference in concentration of the first compound before and after sublimation) are as shown in Table 1 below. The concentrations mentioned in Table 1 below are values obtained by quantitative analysis by HPLC.
[0086] Concentration (%) of the first compound before sublimation (ref.) Concentration (%) of the first compound in the premixture (R1) after sublimation Concentration (%) of the first compound in the remaining amount (boat) after sublimation HPLC quantitative analysis values 48.85 48.13 49.28
[0087] As a result of quantitative analysis by HPLC, the concentration of the first compound before sublimation (ref.), the premixture after sublimation (R1), and the remainder after sublimation (boat) remained stable within a deviation of 5% with almost no change.
[0088] *Manufacturing of film using Sample 1
[0089] 0.25 g of the previously prepared premixture (R1) was loaded into the evaporation source of the VTE chamber (Vacuum thermal evaporation chamber). The VTE chamber was pumped 10 -7The pressure was reduced to a pressure of Torr. Then, the pre-mixed components were deposited onto a glass substrate at a rate of 2 Å / sec. A film of 600 Å was continuously deposited from the mixture to maintain each raw material under a suitable temperature. Then, the glass substrate was replaced two more times in succession to obtain a total of three samples (Films 1 to 3). As a result of analyzing the three obtained samples by HPLC, the changes in the composition of the first and second compounds before and after deposition (judged based on the difference in concentration of the first compound before and after deposition) are shown in Table 2 below. The concentrations mentioned in Table 2 below are values obtained by quantitative analysis by HPLC.
[0090] Deposited Film No. Concentration (%) of the first compound of the premixture (R1) prior to device fabrication deposition Concentration (%) of the first compound in the produced films Concentration (%) of the first compound in the crucible after film fabrication Sample 1 Film 1 48.13 47.69 44.48 Film 2 46.94 Film 3 47.71
[0091] For reference, the concentration change of the first compound in the film state | (C1-C2) | / C1 is calculated as 100%. Here, C1 is the concentration of the first compound before deposition, and C2 is the concentration of the first compound after deposition.
[0092] As a result of quantitative analysis by HPLC, the concentration of the first compound in the fabricated films 1, 2, and 3, and the crucible after film fabrication was maintained stably within a deviation of 5% with almost no change in concentration before deposition of the device (R1).
[0093] When the change in the composition of the first compound and the second compound throughout the process of preparing the premix and the deposition process for fabricating the device satisfies 10% or less, preferably 5% or less, the device characteristics for the OLED are excellent and it is considered useful for the OLED.
[0094] *Manufacturing of Sample 2
[0095] Additionally, the results of examples of mixtures deviating from the conditions set forth in this specification have been described. Representatively, the first compound of Combination 41 and the second compound of Combination 8 listed in Table 5 below were used.
[0096] The preparation conditions are the same as those of Sample 1, except that 0.21 g of the first compound of Combination 41 and 0.09 g of the second compound of Combination 8 (see Table 5 below) were mixed in a weight ratio of 7:3.
[0097] As a result of analyzing each sample by HPLC, the changes in the composition of the first and second compounds in the premixture (R1) and the remaining amount of the evaporation source (boat) before sublimation (judged based on the difference in concentration of the first compound before and after sublimation) are shown in Table 3 below. The concentrations mentioned in Table 3 below are values obtained by quantitative analysis by HPLC.
[0098] Concentration (%) of the first compound before sublimation (ref.) Concentration (%) of the first compound in the premixture (R1) after sublimation Concentration (%) of the first compound in the remaining amount (boat) after sublimation HPLC quantitative analysis values 69.30 67.44 85.15
[0099] As a result of quantitative analysis by HPLC, it can be seen that there is a large variation in the concentration of the first compound before sublimation (ref.), the premixture after sublimation (R1), and the remainder after sublimation (boat). In particular, it can be seen that the ratio is misaligned, with the concentration (%) of the first compound in the remainder after sublimation (boat) showing a difference of more than 15% from the concentration (%) of the first compound before sublimation (ref.).
[0100] *Manufacturing of film using Sample 2
[0101] In the manufacturing of a film using the above sample 1, the conditions for manufacturing the film using the above sample 1 are the same as those for manufacturing the film using the above sample 1, except that sample 2 is used instead of sample 1.
[0102] As a result of analyzing three samples (Films 1 to 3) obtained from the premix of Sample 2 prepared above by HPLC, the change in concentration of the first compound before and after deposition is shown in Table 4 below.
[0103] Deposited Film No. Concentration (%) of the first compound of the premixture (R1) prior to device fabrication deposition Concentration (%) of the first compound in the produced films Concentration (%) of the first compound in the crucible after film fabrication Sample 2 Film 1 67.44 65.42 84.38 Film 2 61.22 Film 3 62.82
[0104] For reference, the concentration change of the first compound in the film state | (C1-C2) | / C1 is calculated as 100%. Here, C1 is the concentration of the first compound before deposition, and C2 is the concentration of the first compound after deposition.
[0105] As a result of quantitative analysis by HPLC, the concentration of the first compound in the fabricated Films 1, 2, and 3, and the crucible after film fabrication, before deposition of the device (R1), varied significantly, showing a deviation of more than 5%. Therefore, it was confirmed that the preparation of the premix was not stably carried out under the above conditions, and such conditions are undesirable.
[0106] According to Figures 1 and 2, the concentrations of the first compound and the second compound are shown together. Ref concentration refers to the concentration before the preparation of the premixture, boat concentration refers to the concentration of the sample remaining in the deposition source after the preparation of the premixture, and R1 concentration refers to the concentration of the generated premixture sample.
[0107] The generated premixture sample (R1) was loaded into a single deposition source during simple device fabrication to form a film, and the respective concentrations were measured by HPLC. Films 1, 2, and 3 represent the respective concentrations when the film was fabricated three times over time. Crucible concentration refers to the concentration of the material remaining after all the film was formed in the container holding the premixture R1 when it was placed in the deposition machine for simple device fabrication.
[0108] The first compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention is a linker (L 101 It has a dimer structure in which two phenanthrenes are connected through ). This utilizes a triplet energy level that is significantly higher than that of compounds with an anthracene structure, and can demonstrate an additional increase in efficiency through the electron transition to the triplet level of the dopant material.
[0109] The second compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 of the present invention has an anthracene structure. While it has the advantage of excellent electron and hole transport and injection, it has the disadvantage of not having high energy efficiency while emitting fluorescent light through singlet energy levels. When the first compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and the second compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 are included together in the light-emitting layer, the additional efficiency increase effect of the first compound can be obtained simultaneously while maintaining stable performance through appropriate energy levels and electron / hole balance of the second compound.

In this case, the device can be manufactured by forming an anode by depositing a metal, a conductive metal oxide, or an alloy thereof on a substrate using a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method such as sputtering or electron beam evaporation, forming an organic layer including a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an emitting layer, and an electron transport layer thereon, and then depositing a material that can be used as a cathode thereon. In addition to this method, an organic light-emitting diode can also be manufactured by sequentially depositing an organic layer and an anode material from a cathode material on a substrate.
[0438] The above organic layer may have a multilayer structure including a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, and an electron transport layer, but is not limited thereto and may have a single layer structure. In addition, the above organic layer may be manufactured with fewer layers by using various polymer materials and a solvent process rather than a deposition method, such as spin coating, dip coating, doctor blading, screen printing, inkjet printing, or thermal transfer.
[0439] The above anode is an electrode for injecting holes, and as the anode material, it is generally preferable to use an organic layer with a high work function to facilitate hole injection. Examples include metals such as vanadium, chromium, copper, zinc, and gold, or alloys thereof; metal oxides such as zinc oxide, indium oxide, indium tin oxide (ITO), and indium zinc oxide (IZO); combinations of metals and oxides such as ZnO:Al or SnO2:Sb; conductive polymers such as poly(3-methylthiophene), poly[3,4-(ethylene-1,2-dioxy)thiophene] (PEDOT), polypyrrole, and polyaniline, but are not limited thereto.
[0440] The above cathode is an electrode for injecting electrons, and the cathode material is preferably a material with a small work function to facilitate electron injection, typically an organic layer. Examples include metals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium, indium, yttrium, lithium, gadolinium, aluminum, silver, tin, and lead, or alloys thereof; multilayer materials such as LiF / Al or LiO2 / Al, but are not limited thereto.
[0441] The above organic layer includes a light-emitting layer. The light-emitting layer may include a host material and a dopant material.
[0442] The above host material includes condensed aromatic ring derivatives or heterocyclic compounds. In this specification, the light-emitting layer comprises a compound represented by Formula 1 and a compound represented by Formula 2 as host materials.
[0443] The above dopant materials can be divided into phosphorescent dopants and fluorescent dopants, and the fluorescent dopants can be divided into pyrene-based compounds or non-pyrene-based compounds. The above pyrene-based compounds may be pyrene-based compounds substituted with diarylamines having a band gap smaller than that of the host material, such as BD02 (N1, N1, N6, N6-tetraphenylpyrene-1,6-diamine). The above non-pyrene-based compounds are compounds that are not pyrene or are not pyrene derivatives, and may include, but are not limited to, metal complexes (iridium complexes, platinum complexes), boron-based compounds (DABNA-1, etc.), arylamine-based compounds (Coumarin 6, etc.).
[0444] According to one embodiment of the present specification, non-pyrene compounds comprising a pyrene compound (formula Z1), an aryl amine compound (formula Z2), and a boron compound (formula Z3) are as described above.
[0445] The above organic layer may further include a hole injection layer. The hole injection layer is a layer that receives holes from an electrode. It is desirable for the hole injection material to have the ability to transport holes, thereby having a hole reception effect from the anode and an excellent hole injection effect on the emissive layer or emissive material. In addition, it is desirable for the material to have an excellent ability to prevent the movement of excitons generated in the emissive layer to the electron injection layer or electron injection material. In addition, it is desirable for the material to have excellent thin film formation ability. Furthermore, it is desirable for the HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) of the hole injection material to be between the work function of the anode material and the HOMO of the surrounding organic layer. Specific examples of hole injection materials include metal porphyrins, oligothiophenes, arylamine-based organic materials; hexanitrile-hexaazatriphenylene-based organic materials; quinacridone-based organic materials; and perylene-based organic materials. Conductive polymers of the polythiophene family, such as anthraquinone and polyaniline, are examples, but are not limited thereto. The thickness of the hole injection layer may be 1 to 150 nm. If the thickness of the hole injection layer is 1 nm or more, there is an advantage in that the hole injection characteristics can be prevented from deteriorating, and if it is 150 nm or less, there is an advantage in that the driving voltage can be prevented from increasing to improve hole movement because the thickness of the hole injection layer is too thick.

A detergent from Fischer Co. was used, and distilled water that had been double-filtered through a Millipore Co. filter was used. After washing the ITO for 30 minutes, the ultrasonic cleaning was repeated twice with distilled water for 10 minutes. After washing with distilled water, the substrate was ultrasonic cleaned in the order of isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and methanol solvents, followed by drying.
[0555] A hole injection layer was formed by thermal vacuum deposition of HI-1 to a thickness of 50 Å on the anode, and a hole transport layer was formed by vacuum deposition of HT1, a material that transports holes, to a thickness of 1150 Å on top of it. Then, a hole control layer was formed using EB1 (150 Å). Then, the first compound and the second compound corresponding to Combination 1 of Table 5 were deposited to a thickness of 300 Å by co-evaporation in a weight ratio (wt%) of 1:4, and a emitting layer was formed by co-depositing 2 parts by weight of blue fluorescent dopant BD1 relative to 100 parts by weight of the sum of the first compound and the second compound of Combination 1. Then, an electron control layer was formed by depositing HB1 to a thickness of 50 Å, and an electron transport layer with a thickness of 250 Å was formed by mixing compound ET1 and lithium quinoleate (Liq) in a ratio of 7:3. Sequentially, magnesium and lithium fluoride (LiF) with a thickness of 50 Å were deposited as electron injection layers.
[0556] After forming a 200 Å cathode with magnesium and silver (1:4), the device was completed by depositing CP1 at 600 Å. During the above process, the deposition rate of the organic material was maintained at 1 Å / sec.

[0574] Experimental Example B1-1
[0575] A substrate with ITO / Ag / ITO deposited as an anode at 70 Å / 1000 Å / 70 Å was cut into 50 mm x 50 mm x 0.5 mm pieces, placed in distilled water containing a dispersant, and ultrasonically cleaned. A detergent from Fischer Co. was used, and distilled water that had been double-filtered through a Millipore Co. filter was used. After washing the ITO for 30 minutes, ultrasonically cleaning was performed twice with distilled water for 10 minutes. After washing with distilled water, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned in the order of isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and methanol solvents, followed by drying.
[0576] A hole injection layer was formed on the anode by thermal vacuum deposition of HT2 and HI-2 in a ratio of 9:1 to a thickness of 50 Å. On top of this, a hole transport layer was formed by vacuum deposition of HT2, a material that transports holes, to a thickness of 1150 Å. Then, a hole control layer was formed using EB2 (150 Å). Next, the first compound and the second compound corresponding to Combination 9 in Table 5 were deposited to a thickness of 300 Å by co-evaporation in a weight ratio (wt%) of 1:4. A light-emitting layer was formed by co-depositing 2 parts by weight of the blue fluorescent dopant BD2 relative to 100 parts by weight of the sum of the first compound (Combination 9) and the second compound (Combination 9). Then, an electron control layer was formed by depositing HB2 to a thickness of 50 Å, and an electron transport layer with a thickness of 250 Å was formed by mixing compound ET2 and Liq in a ratio of 7:3. Sequentially, magnesium and lithium fluoride (LiF) with a thickness of 50 Å were deposited as electron injection layers.
[0577] After forming a 200 Å cathode with magnesium and silver (1:4), the device was completed by depositing CP1 at 600 Å. During the above process, the deposition rate of the organic material was maintained at 1 Å / sec.

[0590] According to Table 10 above, it can be seen that the devices of Experimental Examples B2-1 to B2-27 contain both the first compound and the second compound, and thus have enhanced characteristics of low voltage, high efficiency, and long lifespan compared to the devices of Comparative Experimental Examples that contain only one of the first compound or the second compound.
[0591] According to Tables 9 and 10 above, two types of host materials composed of a combination of the first compound and the second compound were co-deposited and doped with a pyrene-based dopant (BD2) to form a single light-emitting layer, and the device characteristics of device B including the same were confirmed.
[0592] As a result, similar to the results of device A, it is determined that the phenanthrene dimer compound (first compound) as a host material utilizes a significantly higher triplet energy level compared to the anthracene compound (second compound), thereby not only exhibiting an additional efficiency increase effect through the electron transition to the triplet level of the pyrene dopant material, but also demonstrating improvements in driving voltage and / or lifetime by bringing the balance of holes and electrons into the emissive layer.
[0593] Additionally, Experimental Example B1 group described in Table 9 and Experimental Example B2 group described in Table 10 are identical except that at least one of the first compound and the second compound is deuterium-substituted, but the device group B2 had an improved lifespan compared to the device group B1. Thus, it was confirmed that a device containing a deuterium-substituted host material has improved heat resistance and an improved lifespan.
[0594] III. Fabrication of Device C
[0595] Experimental Example C1-1
[0596] A substrate with ITO / Ag / ITO deposited as an anode at 70 Å / 1000 Å / 70 Å was cut into 50 mm x 50 mm x 0.5 mm pieces, placed in distilled water containing a dispersant, and ultrasonically cleaned. A detergent from Fischer Co. was used, and distilled water that had been double-filtered through a Millipore Co. filter was used. After washing the ITO for 30 minutes, ultrasonically cleaning was performed twice with distilled water for 10 minutes. After washing with distilled water, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned in the order of isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and methanol solvents, followed by drying.
[0597] A hole injection layer was formed on the anode by thermal vacuum deposition of HT2 and HI-2 in a ratio of 9:1 to a thickness of 50 Å. A hole transport layer was formed on top of this by vacuum deposition of HT2, a material that transports holes, to a thickness of 1150 Å. Then, a hole control layer was formed using EB1 (150 Å). Next, a first emitting layer was formed by co-depositing 2 parts by weight of the blue fluorescent dopant BD1 relative to 100 parts by weight of the first compound (combination 2) in Table 5, and a second emitting layer was formed by co-depositing 2 parts by weight of the blue fluorescent dopant BD1 relative to 100 parts by weight of the second compound (combination 2) in Table 5. Next, an electron control layer was formed by depositing HB2 to a thickness of 50 Å, and an electron transport layer with a thickness of 250 Å was formed by mixing compound ET2 and Liq in a ratio of 7:3. Sequentially, magnesium and lithium fluoride (LiF) with a thickness of 50 Å were deposited as electron injection layers.
[0598] After forming a 200 Å cathode with magnesium and silver (1:4), the device was completed by depositing CP1 at 600 Å. During the above process, the deposition rate of the organic material was maintained at 1 Å / sec.

[0605] According to Table 11 above, it can be seen that the devices of Experimental Examples C1-1 to C1-21 each contain the first compound and the second compound in their respective light-emitting layers, and thus have enhanced characteristics of low voltage, high efficiency, and / or long lifespan compared to the devices of Comparative Experimental Examples that contain only one of the first compound or the second compound.

[0611] According to Table 11 above, it can be seen that the devices of Experimental Examples C2-1 to C2-21 include the first compound and the second compound in their respective light-emitting layers, and thus have enhanced characteristics of low voltage, high efficiency, and / or long lifespan compared to the devices of Comparative Experimental Examples that include only one of the first compound or the second compound.
[0612] According to Tables 11 and 12 above, instead of introducing a method of co-depositing two types of host materials, a first compound was introduced as a first light-emitting layer and a second compound was introduced as a second light-emitting layer to fabricate an organic light-emitting device having two light-emitting layers.
[0613] As a result, similar to the results of devices A and B, it is determined that the phenanthrene dimer compound (first compound) as a host material utilizes a significantly higher triplet energy level compared to the anthracene compound (second compound), thereby not only exhibiting an additional efficiency increase effect through the electron transition of non-pyrene dopant materials to the triplet level, but also demonstrating improvements in driving voltage and lifetime by bringing the balance of holes and electrons into the emissive layer.
[0614] Additionally, Experimental Example C1 group described in Table 11 and Experimental Example C2 group described in Table 12 are identical except that at least one of the first compound and the second compound is deuterium substituted, but the device group C2 had an improved lifespan compared to device group C1. Thus, it was confirmed that a device containing a deuterium-substituted host material has improved heat resistance and an improved lifespan.
[0615] IV. Manufacturing of Device D
[0616] For the manufacture of device D, compositions 1 to 5 were prepared by pre-mixing the first compounds and second compounds of combinations 6, 8, 73, 84, and 91 in Tables 5 and 6 above.
[0617] The inventors have a sublimation temperature (T) of a first compound to be premixed. sub1) and the sublimation temperature of the second compound (T sub2 It was discovered that the difference between the first and second compounds before and after deposition must satisfy at least the following equation (1) so that the composition (i.e., change in concentration of each compound) can be maintained.
[0618] | T sub1 - T sub2 | ≤ 20 ℃ - Equation (1)
[0619] In Table 13 below, the sublimation temperatures of the first and second compounds for each composition and the difference in sublimation temperatures between the first and second compounds are shown.

[0621] Using the above compositions 1 to 5, a device was manufactured as follows.
[0622] Experimental Example D1-1
[0623] A substrate with ITO / Ag / ITO deposited as an anode at 70 Å / 1000 Å / 70 Å was cut into 50 mm x 50 mm x 0.5 mm pieces, placed in distilled water containing a dispersant, and ultrasonically cleaned. A detergent from Fischer Co. was used, and distilled water that had been double-filtered through a Millipore Co. filter was used. After washing the ITO for 30 minutes, ultrasonically cleaning was performed twice with distilled water for 10 minutes. After washing with distilled water, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned in the order of isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and methanol solvents, followed by drying.
[0624] A hole injection layer was formed on the above anode by thermal vacuum deposition of HT2 and HI-2 in a ratio of 9:1 to a thickness of 50 Å. On top of this, a hole transport layer was formed by vacuum deposition of HT2, a material that transports holes, to a thickness of 1150 Å. Then, a hole control layer was formed using EB2 (150 Å). Next, a single emissive layer was formed by co-depositing 2 parts by weight of the blue fluorescent dopant BD1 relative to 100 parts by weight of Composition 1 of Table 13. Then, an electron control layer was formed by depositing HB2 to a thickness of 50 Å, and an electron transport layer with a thickness of 250 Å was formed by mixing compound ET2 and Liq in a ratio of 7:3. Sequentially, magnesium and lithium fluoride (LiF) with a thickness of 50 Å were deposited as an electron injection layer.
[0625] After forming a 200 Å cathode with magnesium and silver (1:4), the device was completed by depositing CP1 at 600 Å. During the above process, the deposition rate of the organic material was maintained at 1 Å / sec.

[0632] According to Table 14 above, the devices of Experimental Examples D1-1 to D1-5 contain a mixture of the first compound and the second compound as a single composition in the light-emitting layer, and it can be seen that the characteristics of low voltage, high efficiency, and / or long lifespan are enhanced compared to the devices of Comparative Experimental Examples that contain only one of the first compound or the second compound.
[0633] According to Tables 13 and 14 above, instead of a method of forming a light-emitting layer by co-depositing two types of host materials (first compound and second compound), a single composition was formed by pre-mixing the two types of host materials and used to manufacture the light-emitting layer. In particular, according to Table 13 above, the difference in sublimation temperatures between the first compound and the second compound was considered when manufacturing the single composition. A single light-emitting layer was formed by doping the light-emitting layer with a non-pyrene-based dopant (boron-based), and the device characteristics of device D containing the same were confirmed.
[0634] As a result, the device characteristics of the experimental example using a single composition pre-mixed with two types of host materials were superior compared to the comparative experimental example using a host material that used either a phenanthrene dimer compound (first compound) alone or an anthracene compound (second compound) alone. These results indicate that after forming a single composition by pre-mixing the first and second compounds, the co-evaporation mixture is stable, allowing for the utilization of the fluorescence emission effect through the singlet energy level of the second compound, and further efficiency improvement is possible through the electron transition to the triplet energy level of the dopant by utilizing the high triplet energy level of the first compound. Furthermore, the improvement in low voltage and lifetime implies that the balance of holes and electrons has been brought into the emissive layer.
[0635] Additionally, in Table 14 above, at least one of the first and second compounds of combinations 73, 84, and 91 used in Experimental Examples D1-3 to D1-5 is a deuterium-substituted compound, and compared to the first and second compounds of combinations 6 and 8, the lifespan of the device was further improved due to the deuterium substitution. Thus, it was confirmed that a device containing a deuterium-substituted host material has improved heat resistance and an improved lifespan.
[0636] In addition, this experimental example is significant in that when manufacturing a light-emitting layer with three or more components (e.g., two types of host materials and one type of dopant material), the two types of host materials (the first compound and the second compound) are pre-mixed to prepare a composition, thereby alleviating the complexity of the manufacturing process. In Table 13 above, it was confirmed that compositions 1 to 5, prepared by pre-mixing the first compound and the second compound, satisfy a sublimation temperature difference in the range of 0 to 20°C, thereby achieving a stable co-evaporation mixture.
[0638] In summary, the problem of low energy efficiency, which was present in devices A through D while fluorescence emission through singlet energy levels, was improved to enable the utilization of high triplet energy levels, and an additional increase in efficiency was observed through the electron transition of the dopant to the triplet level. Thus, the present invention can simultaneously obtain an additional increase in efficiency of the first compound while maintaining stable performance through appropriate energy levels and electron / hole balance.
