Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic electroluminescent materials, and more specifically to a novel general-form compound and an organic electroluminescent device using such a general-form compound. Background Technology

[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), also known as organic electroluminescent displays or organic light-emitting semiconductors, were discovered in a laboratory in 1979 by Ching W. Tang, a Chinese-American professor. OLED display technology boasts advantages such as self-illumination, wide viewing angles, high contrast, low power consumption, and fast response times. However, as a high-end display, it is more expensive than LCD TVs. OLEDs inherently possess the characteristic of emitting light by utilizing organic thin films and applying voltage to the resulting device. Therefore, developing suitable organic thin film materials has always been a key research focus in the OLED industry, contributing to the accelerated industrialization of OLED display technology.

[0003] Materials commonly used in OLEDs include luminescent materials, auxiliary materials, and electrode materials. Auxiliary materials primarily include carrier transport materials, carrier injection materials, and carrier blocking materials. Different auxiliary materials play different functions and roles in the device, therefore, different auxiliary materials typically have different functional requirements.

[0004] Hole transport materials are primarily for transporting holes. In OLEDs, the hole transport layer containing hole transport materials serves to improve the hole transport efficiency in the device and block electrons within the emissive layer, thereby maximizing carrier recombination. Hole transport materials for OLEDs must first have high hole mobility, and the triplet energy level of the molecule must be higher than the excitation energy of the emissive layer to avoid forming excitokines with the emissive layer. In addition, they must meet the following conditions: (1) good film-forming properties, capable of forming defect-free, uniform, and amorphous films; (2) high thermal stability, high melting point, and high glass transition temperature; (3) appropriate highest molecular occupied orbital (HOMO) energy level to ensure effective hole injection and transport between various interfaces. Although the aging mechanism of OLEDs is not yet fully understood, studies have shown that changes in the physical morphology of the organic layer are one of the factors affecting OLED aging. For example, the melting and crystallization of the organic layer caused by heat generated during device operation not only destroys the uniformity of the film but also disrupts the good interfacial contact between the hole transport layer and the anode and the organic layer, thereby leading to a decrease in device efficiency and lifetime.

[0005] Therefore, current research on organic hole transport materials focuses on improving their film-forming properties and thermal stability. To enhance stability, hole transport materials with high melting points and glass transition temperatures are typically used. From a molecular design perspective, compounds with asymmetric structures and high steric hindrance, such as those with paired coupling structures, star structures, branched structures, and helical structures, can reduce intermolecular cohesion, decrease the tendency to crystallize, and increase the glass transition temperature, potentially improving the performance of corresponding devices.

[0006] Early commercially available hole transport materials had the following structure (e.g., EP-721935):

[0007]

[0008] However, when this material is used in production lines, the uneven horizontal and vertical mobility causes crosstalk problems in the pixels; therefore, patent CN103108859 discloses another commercial material.

[0009]

[0010] This material has significantly improved performance in both solubility and mobility compared to the previous material. However, there is still much room for improvement in matching its material performance with the industrialization process. Therefore, this patent discloses a series of novel hole transport materials, which are applied in devices and exhibit excellent device performance. Summary of the Invention

[0044] This invention designs a novel general-form compound with a triarylamine structure as the parent core. To improve the compound's robustness during device fabrication, a rigid carbazole derivative with similarly good transport properties is introduced. The triarylamine forms NH4 under an electric field. + The benzene ring it connects to is equivalent to the injection of π electrons, NH4 + A more stable structure is more conducive to raising the HOMO energy level, and correspondingly, holes are more easily injected into the hole transport layer. Therefore, in order to increase the electron-donating properties of the substituent groups connected to the aromatic amine, the bridging structure set in this invention is as follows: type.

[0045] For this bridging structure: First, the adjacent connection method aims to alleviate the rigidity of the structure and increase the solubility of the entire molecule. Second, compared with the meta connection method, it offers greater spatial freedom. As can be seen from the electron cloud distribution of the molecule, the LUMO energy level is mainly distributed on the bridging group. The adjacent design raises the LUMO energy level compared to the meta design, which has a better suppression effect on electron overflow from the light-emitting layer to the hole transport layer, thus reducing leakage current and having a positive effect on device lifetime and performance. Finally, as can be seen from the electron cloud distribution of the molecule, the HOMO energy level is mainly distributed on the triarylamine. Therefore, compared with the single benzene ring structure, the increase in conjugation of the bridging structure can improve the HOMO energy level, lower the hole injection barrier, lower the start-up voltage, or reduce the hole injection layer thickness in device fabrication, thereby reducing costs.

[0129] Under the same brightness, the driving voltage, current efficiency, and lifetime of the organic electroluminescent devices prepared in Examples 1-9 and the comparative examples were measured using a digital source meter and a luminance meter.
