Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a novel organic compound and an organic electroluminescent element comprising the organic compound. Background Technology
[0002] Compared with other flat panel display elements such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma display panels (PDPs), and field emission displays (FEDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have a simple structure, various advantages in manufacturing processes, high brightness and excellent viewing angle characteristics, fast response speed, and are being actively developed and commercialized due to their low driving voltage. This makes them suitable for use as light sources in flat panel displays such as wall-mounted TVs, backlighting of displays, lighting, billboards, etc.
[0003] The first organic EL device was reported by Tang et al. of Eastman Kodak (CWTang, SAVanslyke, Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 51, p. 913, 1987). Its light-emitting principle is generally based on the fact that when a voltage is applied, holes injected from the positive electrode and electrons injected from the negative electrode recombine to form excitons, i.e., electron-hole pairs, and the energy of the excitons is transferred to the light-emitting material to be converted into light.
[0004] More specifically, the organic electroluminescent device has a structure including a negative electrode (electron injection electrode) and a positive electrode (hole injection electrode) and one or more organic layers between the two electrodes. In this case, the organic electroluminescent device is laminated from the positive electrode in the following order: hole injection layer (HIL), hole transport layer (HTL), light emitting layer (EML), electron transport layer (ETL) or electron injection layer (EIL). To improve the efficiency of the light emitting layer, an electron blocking layer (EBL) or a hole blocking layer (HBL) can be further included before and after the light emitting layer, respectively.
[0005] The organic layer materials used in organic electroluminescent elements are mostly pure organic materials or complex compounds that form complexes between organic materials and metals. According to their uses, they can be classified as hole injection materials, hole transport materials, light-emitting materials, electron transport materials, and electron injection materials.
[0006] Among these, organic compounds that are easily oxidized and have an electrochemically stable state during oxidation are mainly used as hole injection or hole transport substances. Organic compounds that are easily reduced and have an electrochemically stable state during reduction are mainly used as electron injection or electron transport substances.
[0007] On one hand, the light-emitting layer material is preferably a material that is stable in both oxidized and reduced states, and preferably a material with high luminous efficiency in converting excitons into light. More specifically, the light-emitting layer is composed of two materials: a host material and a dopant material. The dopant material needs to have high quantum efficiency, and the host material preferably has a larger band gap than the dopant material to facilitate energy transfer to the dopant. Displays used in televisions, mobile devices, etc., achieve full color using red, green, and blue colors, and the light-emitting layers are respectively composed of red host / dopant, green host / dopant, and blue host / dopant.
[0008] Among existing materials used for blue dopants, fluorescent molecules such as perylene, coumarine, anthracene, and pyrene are widely utilized. However, the broad emission spectra and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of these dopants make it difficult to utilize pure blue light in device fabrication. This characteristic not only reduces the efficiency of blue light in the device's resonant structure but is also the main reason why the deep blue region is difficult to use.
[0009] Recently, literature on boron-based dopant-based devices with narrow emission spectra and high device efficiency has been published in Adv. Mater. 2016, 28, 2777-2781 and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed 2017, 56, 5087-5090, and also published in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2016-0119683. In existing boron-based blue dopant materials, boron atoms are contained at the center and cyclized, thus forming only three coordination bonds, thereby maintaining the molecular structure in a planar state.
[0010] The advantage of this planar dopant structure is that the energy levels of the molecular vibrational modes are similar, thus narrowing the emission spectrum and half-width at half-maximum to produce pure light. However, when using this planar dopant structure to fabricate devices, the lack of outermost electrons in boron atoms increases the intensity of interactions with adjacent dopants, resulting in a more severe concentration quenching of the dopant.
[0011] Therefore, there is a need to develop a novel dopant that can maintain a narrow emission spectrum and half-amplitude while solving the concentration quenching problem during device fabrication. The concentration quenching phenomenon is the main reason for the decrease in efficiency due to the dopant concentration and the long wavelength of the color coordinates. Summary of the Invention
[0012] The problem the invention aims to solve
[0013] This invention provides an organic compound with excellent lifespan, efficiency, electrochemical stability and thermal stability, and an organic electroluminescent element containing the compound.
[0014] The organic compound of the present invention has a planar structure and can minimize the π (π-π) mutual attraction between molecules within the molecule, while the energy levels of the molecular vibration modes are almost similar, resulting in a narrow emission spectrum and half-amplitude. When the compound is used as a dopant, it provides an organic compound that can suppress possible concentration quenching.
[0015] In addition, the present invention provides an organic compound comprising atoms of a planar structure, such as boron-based elements, providing a compound of chemical formula 1, which can prevent the formation of excimers within the molecule, increase the electron density of the nucleus and the stability of the dopant, thereby increasing the efficiency and lifetime of the device.
[0016] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a blue host / dopant system and organic electroluminescent element suitable for AM-OLED blue series using the organic compound.

[0018] The present invention provides a compound represented by chemical formula 1, which is an organic compound having a narrow emission spectrum and half-amplitude, and being able to suppress concentration quenching even at high doping concentrations.
[0019] In addition, to provide organic electroluminescent devices with excellent luminous efficiency and lifetime characteristics, compounds represented by chemical formula 1 are used as dopants.

Specifically, the organic electroluminescent device of the invention may have a structure in which a positive electrode (hole injection electrode), a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), a light-emitting layer (EML), and a negative electrode (electron injection electrode) are laminated in sequence. Preferably, an electron blocking layer (EBL) may be further included between the positive electrode and the light-emitting layer, and an electron transport layer (ETL) and an electron injection layer (EIL) may be further included between the negative electrode and the light-emitting layer. Additionally, a hole blocking layer (HBL) may be included between the negative electrode and the light-emitting layer.
[0134] As a method for manufacturing the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention, firstly, a positive electrode material is coated on the surface of a substrate using conventional methods to form a positive electrode. The substrate used is preferably a glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate that exhibits excellent transparency, surface flatness, ease of handling, and water resistance. Furthermore, the positive electrode material can be transparent and possess excellent conductivity, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO2), or zinc oxide (ZnO).
[0135] Next, a hole injection layer (HIL) material is vacuum thermally vaporized or spin-coated onto the surface of the positive electrode using conventional methods to form a hole injection layer. Examples of such hole injection layer materials include copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), 4,4',4"-tris(3-methylphenylamino)triphenylamine (m-MTDATA), 4,4',4"-tris(3-methylphenylamino)phenoxybenzene (m-MTDAPB), 4,4',4"-tris(N-carbazolyl)triphenylamine (TCTA), 4,4',4"-tris(N-(2-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino)-triphenylamine (2-TNATA), or IDE406, which can be purchased from Idemitsu Corporation.
[0136] A hole transport layer (HTL) material is formed on the surface of the hole injection layer by vacuum thermal evaporation or spin coating using conventional methods. Examples of hole transport layer materials include bis(N-(1-naphthyl-n-phenyl))benzidine (α-NPD), N,N'-di(naphthyl-1-yl)-N,N'-biphenyl-benzidine (NPB), or N,N'-biphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD).
[0137] A light-emitting layer (EML) is formed on the surface of the hole transport layer by vacuum thermal evaporation or spin coating using conventional methods. In this case, the individual light-emitting material or the main light-emitting material used in the EML can be tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3) for green light, and Balq (8-hydroxyquinoline beryllium salt), DPVBi (4,4'-bis(2,2-bistyryl)-1,1'-biphenyl) series, spiro (Spiro) substances, spiro-DPVBi (spiro-4,4'-bis(2,2-bistyryl)-1,1'-biphenyl), LiPBO (2-(2-benzoxazolyl)-phenol lithium salt), bis(bistyryl)benzene, aluminum-quinoline metal complexes, imidazole, thiazole, and oxazole metal complexes, etc.
[0138] The dopant in the luminescent layer material that can be used with the luminescent host is preferably the compound of the present invention as a blue fluorescent dopant. Other fluorescent dopants that can be used are IDE102 and IDE105, which are available from Idemitsu. As phosphorescent dopants, tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III) (Ir(ppy)3), bis[[(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridyl-N,C-2']pyridinecarboxylic acid iridium(III) (FIrpic) (reference [ChihayaAdachi et al., Appl. Phys. Lett., 2001, 79, 3082-3084]), platinum(II) octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP), TBE002 (Corbian Corporation), etc.
[0139] Optionally, an electron blocking layer (EBL) may be further formed between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer.
[0140] An electron transport layer (ETL) material is formed on the surface of the light-emitting layer by vacuum thermal evaporation or spin coating using conventional methods. There are no particular limitations on the electron transport layer material used; tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3) is preferred.
[0141] Selectively, by further forming a hole blocking layer (HBL) between the emitting layer and the electron transport layer and using a phosphorescent dopant in the emitting layer, the diffusion of triplet excitons or holes into the electron transport layer can be prevented.
[0142] The hole blocking layer can be formed by vacuum thermal evaporation or spin coating of the hole blocking layer material using conventional methods. There are no particular restrictions on the hole blocking layer material, and preferred materials include (8-hydroxyquinolinyl)lithium (Liq), bis(8-hydroxy-2-methylquinolinyl)-biphenoxyaluminum (BAlq), bath copper (BCP), and LiF.
[0143] An electron injection layer is formed on the surface of the electron transport layer by vacuum thermal evaporation or spin coating using conventional methods. The electron injection layer materials used include LiF, Liq, Li₂O, BaO, NaCl, and CsF.
[0144] The negative electrode is formed by vacuum thermal evaporation of a negative electrode material on the surface of the electron injection layer using conventional methods.
[0145] At this point, the negative electrode material used can be lithium (Li), aluminum (Al), lithium aluminum (Al-Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), magnesium indium (Mg-In), magnesium silver (Mg-Ag), etc. Additionally, the preceding light-emitting organic electroluminescent element can use indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO) to form a transparent negative electrode that allows light to pass through.

[0334] Example
[0335] <Manufacturing Method of Back-Emitting Organic Electroluminescent Element>
[0336] Using photolithography, an ITO (100 nm) substrate, on which the positive electrode of the organic electroluminescent element is laminated, is divided into negative and positive electrode regions and an insulating layer, and patterned. Then, to improve the work function of the positive electrode (ITO) and for cleaning, ultraviolet ozone treatment and surface treatment with O2:N2 plasma are performed. A hole injection layer (HIL) with a thickness of 10 nm is formed on top of this. Next, a hole transport layer with a thickness of 60 nm is formed by vacuum evaporation on top of the hole injection layer (HTL), and an electron blocking layer (EBL) with a thickness of 5 nm is formed on top of the hole transport layer (HTL). The main body of a blue emitting layer is deposited on top of the electron blocking layer (EBL), and simultaneously, 3% of compound 463 is doped as a dopant to form an emitting layer (EML) with a thickness of 25 nm.
[0337] A 25nm electron transport layer (ETL) is deposited on top of the organic light-emitting element (OLED), followed by a 1nm electron injection layer. A 100nm layer of aluminum is then deposited as the cathode. A seal cap containing a getter is then bonded to the OLED using a UV-curable adhesive to protect it from atmospheric oxygen or moisture, thus fabricating the OLED.

[0339] Organic electroluminescent elements were fabricated using the same method as in Example 1, except that compounds 464, 505, 515, 517, 251, 133, 511, 516, 514, 1, 512, 465, 469, 459, 462, 477, 509, 513, 518, and 586 were used instead of compound 463 as dopants.
[0340] Comparative Examples 1 to 5: Fabrication of Organic Electroluminescent Devices
[0341] The organic electroluminescent element was fabricated using the same method as in Example 1, except that compounds A to E were used instead of compound 463 as a dopant.
[0342] Characteristic analysis of organic electroluminescent devices
[0343] Hereinafter, the back-emitting organic electroluminescent devices manufactured in Examples 1 to 22 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 are subjected to an A / cm² pressure of 10 mA / cm². 2 The current was used to measure the electro-optic properties, and the results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0344] [Table 1]
[0345]
[0346] As can be seen from the results in Table 1, the luminous efficiency of the components in the embodiments is superior compared to that of the components in the comparative examples.
[0347] <Manufacturing Method of Organic Electroluminescent Element with Front-Emitting Light Structure>
[0348] A substrate, consisting of a 10nm Ag alloy (as a light-reflecting layer) and a 50nm ITO (as the positive electrode of an organic electroluminescent element), was sequentially laminated using a photolithography process. This was divided into negative and positive electrode regions, along with an insulating layer, and then patterned. To improve the work function of the ITO and for cleaning, ultraviolet ozone treatment and O2:N2 plasma surface treatment were performed. A hole injection layer (HIL) with a thickness of 10nm was then formed on top of this substrate. Next, a hole transport layer with a thickness of 110nm was vacuum-deposited on top of the hole injection layer (HTL), and an electron blocking layer (EBL) with a thickness of 15nm was formed on top of the hole transport layer (HTL). The main body of a blue emitting layer was then deposited on top of the electron blocking layer (EBL), and simultaneously, 1-5% dopant was added to form a 20nm emitting layer (EML).
[0349] A 30nm electron transport layer (ETL) is deposited on top of the negative electrode, and magnesium (Mg) and silver (Ag) are deposited in a 9:1 ratio to form a 17nm thick negative electrode. After depositing a capping layer (CPL) on the negative electrode, a seal cap containing a getter is bonded to it using a UV-curable adhesive to protect the organic light-emitting element from atmospheric oxygen or moisture, thus fabricating the organic light-emitting element.
[0350] Characteristic analysis of organic electroluminescent devices
[0351] Hereinafter, the compounds of Examples 2, 4, 5, and 6 and the compound of Comparative Example 1 (compound A) were applied to the organic electroluminescent element with the above-mentioned light-emitting structure, and the relationship between doping concentration and luminous efficiency (doping concentration dependence) was measured and compared. The results are shown in Tables 2 and 3 below.
[0352] According to Table 2 below, in Comparative Example 1-1, the luminous efficiency decreased with increasing doping concentration when compound A was used. Conversely, it can be seen that the luminous efficiency remained constant in Examples 2-1 to 6-1. This indicates that the luminous efficiency of the present invention is not affected by the doping concentration.

[0356]
[0357] According to Table 3 below, in Comparative Example 1-1, it can be seen that the luminous efficiency decreases with increasing concentration when compound A is used, while it remains constant in Examples 2-1 to 6-1. This indicates that the luminous efficiency of the present invention is not affected by the doping concentration. From the results in Tables 2 and 3, it can be seen that, compared with unsubstituted cycloalkyl compounds, the boron-based compounds with substituted cycloalkyl groups of the present invention minimize concentration quenching and exhibit the smallest change in lifetime decay with increasing doping concentration.
[0358] This invention is not limited to the embodiments described, and can be made in various different forms. Those skilled in the art will understand that it can be implemented in other specific forms without altering the technical concept or essential features of the invention. Therefore, it should be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive.
