Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application claims priority and benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0124527, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on October 8, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] This specification relates to an organic light emitting device, a method for manufacturing the same, and a composition for an organic material layer of an organic light emitting device. Background Art

[0003] An electroluminescent device is a type of self-luminous display device and has advantages such as a wide viewing angle, a high response speed, and excellent contrast.

[0004] An organic light emitting device has a structure in which an organic thin film is disposed between two electrodes. When a voltage is applied to the organic light emitting device having such a structure, electrons and holes injected from the two electrodes combine and pair in the organic thin film, and light is emitted as these annihilate. If necessary, the organic thin film may be formed as a single layer or multiple layers.

[0005] The material of the organic thin film may have a light emitting function if necessary. For example, as the material of the organic thin film, a compound capable of forming a light emitting layer alone by itself may be used, or a compound capable of acting as a host or a dopant of a host-dopant based light emitting layer may also be used. In addition, a compound capable of acting as a hole injection, hole transport, electron blocking, hole blocking, electron transport, electron injection, etc. may be used as the material of the organic thin film.

[0006] There is a continuous need to develop organic thin film materials to improve the performance, lifespan, or efficiency of organic light emitting devices.

[0058] In the following, the present application will be described in detail.

[0059] In this specification, the term "substituted" means that a hydrogen atom bonded to a carbon atom of a compound becomes another substituent, and there is no limitation on the substitution position as long as it is a position where a hydrogen atom is substituted (i.e., a position where a substituent can substitute), and when two or more substituents are substituted, these two or more substituents may be the same or different from each other.

[0060] In this specification, "in the case where no substituent is indicated in a chemical formula or a compound structure" means that a hydrogen atom is bonded to a carbon atom. However, since deuterium ( 2 H) is an isotope of hydrogen, some hydrogen atoms may be deuterium.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, "in the case where no substituent is indicated in a chemical formula or a compound structure" may mean that all positions that can appear as substituents may be hydrogen or deuterium. In other words, since deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen, some hydrogen atoms may be deuterium as an isotope, and here, the content of deuterium may be from 0% to 100%.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present application, in the case of "in the case where no substituent is indicated in a chemical formula or a compound structure", when deuterium is not explicitly excluded (for example, the deuterium content is 0% or the hydrogen content is 100%), hydrogen and deuterium may be mixed in the compound. In other words, different from the case where the hydrogen content is 100% or the deuterium content is 0%, the expression "substituent X is hydrogen" does not exclude deuterium, and thus may mean a state in which hydrogen and deuterium are mixed.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, deuterium is one of the isotopes of hydrogen, is an element having a deuteron formed by one proton and one neutron as a nucleus, and can be represented as hydrogen-2, and the element symbol can also be written as D or 2 H.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, an isotope means an atom having the same atomic number (Z) but having a different mass number (A), and can also be interpreted as an element having the same number of protons but having a different number of neutrons.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present application, when the total number of substituents that an alkaline compound can have is defined as T1, and the number of a specific substituent among these is defined as T2, the meaning of the content T% of the specific substituent can be defined as T2 / T1×100 = T%.

[0066] In other words, in one example, A phenyl group represented by having a deuterium content of 20% means that the total number of substituents that the phenyl group can have is 5 (T1 in the formula), and the number of deuteriums among these is 1 (T2 in the formula). In other words, a phenyl group having a deuterium content of 20% can be represented by the following structural formula.

[0067]

[0068] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present application, a "phenyl group with a deuterium content of 0%" can mean a phenyl group that does not contain deuterium atoms, that is, a phenyl group having 5 hydrogen atoms.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present application, R, R' and R" are the same as or different from each other, and can each independently be hydrogen; a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C60 alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C60 aryl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C60 heteroaryl group.

[0110] Ar2 is a substituted or unsubstituted monocyclic or polycyclic C6 to C60 aryl group.

[0111] As in the compounds of Chemical Formula 1 according to the present application, when the 3-position of dibenzofuran is used, the linearity of the whole material increases, which is effective in increasing the stability of the whole structure. This is the effect obtained for azine-based compounds with substituents having a strong electron-withdrawing tendency. In particular, when substituted with triazine, the dibenzofuran at the center of the structure remains electron-deficient, which requires more electrical energy (electrons) to break the bonds. Here, as the linearity of the material is higher, the electron-withdrawing ability is stronger, and when the electrons in the molecule are concentrated around the triazine structure, the effect of further increasing the electron deficiency of the whole structure is obtained. Therefore, when driving the device, the effect of preventing the host material from being decomposed by current is obtained.

[0258] [Chemical Formula 2-8]

[0261]

[0262] In Chemical Formulas 2-7 to 2-9,

[0264] A3 is O; S; or NRg,

[0278] In another embodiment, Rg can be phenyl; or biphenyl.

[0279] When having a fused-type basic ring as in Chemical Formula 2-7, when used together with the heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 1 in an organic light-emitting device, very fast hole transport characteristics are particularly obtained as a host material, which reduces the threshold voltage and driving voltage of the device, thereby allowing the device to be driven even at a low voltage.

[0280] When having a substituent (R50) in the fused-type ring structure as in Chemical Formula 2-8, a larger structure is obtained compared to Chemical Formula 2-7, and due to this property, as the conjugated region extending from the basic skeleton to the substituent (R50) becomes wider, the region at the HOMO energy level is more enlarged. Therefore, holes are distributed to a wide HOMO energy level region, and the hole transport ability can be maintained more stably. In other words, in the case of Chemical Formula 2-8, although the driving voltage increases to a certain extent, the overall lifetime characteristics are more excellent.

[0281] In Chemical Formula 2-9, the fused ring structure is substituted with a heteroaryl group, and in addition to the characteristic of maintaining a stable HOMO energy level through a wide conjugation region as in Chemical Formula 2-8, substitution with several heteroaryl groups allows for use as an auxiliary means for controlling the bandgap. In particular, although the driving voltage is slightly increased due to having the largest structure compared to the basic skeleton, dibenzofuranyl / dibenzothiophenyl, etc. have the highest structural stability and maintain a higher T1 level, and thus the device has particularly excellent lifetime characteristics.

[0282] When the compound of Chemical Formula 1 and the compound of Chemical Formula 2 are simultaneously included in the organic material layer of the organic light-emitting device, the effects of more excellent efficiency and lifetime are obtained. Such a result can lead to the prediction that an exciplex phenomenon occurs when the two compounds are simultaneously included.

[0283] The exciplex phenomenon is a phenomenon in which energy of the magnitude of the HOMO energy level of the donor (p-host) and the LUMO energy level of the acceptor (n-host) is released due to electron exchange between two molecules. When the exciplex phenomenon occurs between two molecules, reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) occurs, and thus the internal quantum efficiency of fluorescence can increase up to 100%. When a donor (p-host) having good hole transport ability and an acceptor (n-host) having good electron transport ability are used as the host of the light-emitting layer, holes are injected into the p-host and electrons are injected into the n-host, and thus the driving voltage can be reduced, which contributes to an improvement in lifetime.

[0284] According to one embodiment of the present application, Chemical Formula 1 can be represented by any one of the following compounds, but is not limited thereto.

[0314] In addition, by introducing various substituents into the structures of Formulas 1 and 2, compounds with unique properties of the introduced substituents can be synthesized. For example, by introducing substituents that are commonly used as hole injection layer materials, hole transport layer materials, light-emitting layer materials, electron transport layer materials, and charge generation layer materials for manufacturing organic light-emitting devices into the core structure, materials that meet the requirements of each organic material layer can be synthesized.

[0315] In addition, by introducing various substituents into the structures of Chemical Formulas 1 and 2, the bandgap can be finely controlled, and at the same time, the characteristics at the interface between organic materials can be enhanced, and material applications can become diversified.

[0316] At the same time, the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 has a high glass transition temperature (Tg) and excellent thermal stability. Such an improvement in thermal stability becomes an important factor in providing driving stability to the device.

[0322] The composition has a form in which two or more compounds are simply mixed, and the material in powder state can be mixed before forming the organic material layer of the organic light-emitting device, or the compound in liquid state can be mixed at an appropriate temperature or higher. The composition is in a solid state below the melting point of each material and can be maintained in a liquid state when adjusting the temperature.

[0323] The composition can also contain materials known in the art, such as solvents and additives.

[0324] The organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present application can be manufactured using common organic light-emitting device manufacturing methods and materials, except that the above-mentioned heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 are used to form one or more organic material layers.

[0325] When manufacturing an organic light-emitting device, a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and a heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 can be formed into an organic material layer using a solution coating method and a vacuum deposition method. Herein, the solution coating method means spin coating, dip coating, inkjet printing, screen printing, spraying method, roll coating, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0326] The organic material layer of the organic light-emitting device of the present disclosure can be formed into a single-layer structure, or can also be formed into a multi-layer structure in which two or more organic material layers are laminated. For example, the organic light-emitting device of the present disclosure can have a structure including a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc. as organic material layers. However, the structure of the organic light-emitting device is not limited thereto, and can include a smaller number of organic material layers.

[0327] Specifically, an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present application includes: a first electrode; a second electrode; and one or more organic material layers disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein one or more of the organic material layers contain a heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and a heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 2.

[0336] In one embodiment of the present application, the organic material layer includes a light-emitting layer, the light-emitting layer contains a host material, and the host material contains a heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and a heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 2.

[0337] Figures 1 to 3 The lamination order of the electrodes and the organic material layer of an organic light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present application is shown. However, the scope of the present application is not limited to these figures, and the structures of organic light-emitting devices known in the art can also be used in the present application.

[0338] Figure 1 An organic light-emitting device is shown in which an anode (200), an organic material layer (300), and a cathode (400) are sequentially laminated on a substrate (100). However, the structure is not limited to such a structure, and as Figure 2 shown, an organic light-emitting device in which a cathode, an organic material layer, and an anode are sequentially laminated on a substrate can also be obtained.

[0339] Figure 3 The case where the organic material layer is multilayer is shown. According to Figure 3 the organic light-emitting device includes a hole-injection layer (301), a hole-transport layer (302), a light-emitting layer (303), a hole-blocking layer (304), an electron-transport layer (305), and an electron-injection layer (306). However, the scope of the present application is not limited to such a lamination structure, and according to needs, layers other than the light-emitting layer may not be included, and other necessary functional layers may also be added.

[0340] One embodiment of the present application provides a method for manufacturing an organic light-emitting device, the method including: preparing a substrate; forming a first electrode on the substrate; forming one or more organic material layers on the first electrode; and forming a second electrode on the organic material layer, wherein the formation of the organic material layer includes using a composition for an organic material layer according to one embodiment of the present application to form one or more organic material layers.

[0341] In a method for manufacturing an organic light emitting device provided in an embodiment of the present application, the formation of the organic material layer is performed using a thermal vacuum deposition method after premixing a heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 1 and a heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 2.

[0342] Premixing means first mixing the heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 1 and the heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 2 in one supply source before depositing on the organic material layer. Premixing uses one supply source instead of two or three supply sources and has the advantage of simplifying the process.

[0343] The premixed material can be referred to as a composition for an organic material layer according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0344] When premixing is performed as described above, it is necessary to check the unique thermal properties of each material before mixing. Here, depending on the unique thermal properties of the materials, depositing the premixed host material from one supply source may greatly affect the deposition conditions (including the deposition rate). When the thermal properties between two or more types of materials to be premixed are not similar and are very different, it may not be possible to maintain repeatability and reproducibility during the deposition process, which means that it may not be possible to fabricate all uniform OLEDs in one deposition process.

[0345] To overcome this problem, the electrical properties of the materials can be adjusted by using an appropriate combination of the basic structure and substituents of each material, and in addition, the thermal properties of the materials can be controlled according to the molecular structure form. Therefore, by using various substituents other than the basic skeleton in Chemical Formula 2 and using the C-N bonding of fused carbazole as in Chemical Formula 2, it is possible to ensure diversification of various premixed deposition processes between hosts by controlling the thermal properties of each material and attempting to improve device performance. This has the advantage of ensuring diversification of premixed deposition processes using three, four or more host materials and two compounds as hosts.

[0346] In an organic light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present application, materials other than the heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 1 and the heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 2 are shown below. However, these are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application, and can be replaced by materials known in the art.

[0347] As the anode material, a material having a relatively large work function can be used, and transparent conductive oxides, metals, conductive polymers, etc. can be used. Specific examples of the anode material 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-(ethylenedioxy)thiophene] (PEDOT), polypyrrole, and polyaniline; and so on, but not limited thereto.

[0348] As the cathode material, a material having a relatively small work function can be used, and metals, metal oxides, conductive polymers, etc. can be used. Specific examples of the cathode material include: metals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium, indium, yttrium, lithium, gadolinium, aluminum, silver, tin, and lead, or alloys thereof; multilayer structure materials such as LiF / Al or LiO2 / Al; and so on, but not limited thereto.

[0349] As the hole injection material, known hole injection materials can be used. For example, phthalocyanine compounds can be used, such as copper phthalocyanine disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,356,429; or starburst amine derivatives described in the literature [Advanced Material, 6, page 677 (1994)], such as tris(4-carbazolyl-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA), 4,4',4”-tris[phenyl(m-tolyl)amino]triphenylamine (m-MTDATA), or 1,3,5-tris[4-(3-methylphenylphenylamino)phenyl]benzene (m-MTDAPB); polyaniline / dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) / poly(4-styrenesulfonate), polyaniline / camphorsulfonic acid, or polyaniline / poly(4-styrene-sulfonate) as conductive polymers having solubility; and so on.

[0350] As the hole transport material, pyrazoline derivatives, arylamine-based derivatives, derivatives, triphenyldiamine derivatives, etc. can be used, and low molecular weight materials or high molecular weight materials can also be used.

[0351] As the electron transport material, metal complexes of oxadiazole derivatives, anthraquinone dimethane and its derivatives, benzoquinone and its derivatives, naphthoquinone and its derivatives, anthraquinone and its derivatives, tetracyanoanthraquinone dimethane and its derivatives, fluorenone derivatives, diphenyldicyanoethylene and its derivatives, biphenylenequinone derivatives, 8-hydroxyquinoline and its derivatives, etc. can be used, and high molecular weight materials and low molecular weight materials can also be used.

[0352] As an example of an electron injection material, LiF is commonly used in the art. However, the present application is not limited thereto.

[0353] As the light-emitting material, a red light-emitting material, a green light-emitting material, or a blue light-emitting material can be used, and if necessary, two or more light-emitting materials can be mixed and used. Herein, two or more light-emitting materials can be used by depositing them as separate supply sources or by pre-mixing and depositing them as one supply source. In addition, a fluorescent material can also be used as the light-emitting material. However, a phosphorescent material can also be used. As the light-emitting material, a material that emits light by combining electrons and holes injected from the anode and the cathode, respectively, can be used alone. However, a material having a host material and a dopant material that participate in light emission together can also be used.

[0354] When mixing the light-emitting material host, hosts of the same series can be mixed, or hosts of different series can be mixed. For example, any two or more types of materials selected from n-type host materials or p-type host materials can be used as the host material of the light-emitting layer.

[0355] Depending on the materials used, the organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present application can be a top-emission type, a bottom-emission type, or a dual-emission type.

[0356] Under a similar principle for use in an organic light-emitting device, the heterocyclic compound according to an embodiment of the present application can also be used in organic electronic devices including organic solar cells, organic photoconductors, organic transistors, and the like.

[0476] <Experimental Example 1> Fabrication of Organic Light-Emitting Device

[0477] A glass substrate coated with indium tin oxide (ITO) with a thickness of as a thin film was ultrasonically cleaned with distilled water. After cleaning with distilled water, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned with solvents such as acetone, methanol, and isopropyl alcohol, then dried, and UVO treatment was performed using UV in a UV cleaner for 5 minutes. After that, the substrate was transferred to a plasma cleaner (PT), and plasma treatment was performed under vacuum for ITO work function and residual film removal. Then, the substrate was transferred to a thermal deposition apparatus for organic deposition.

[0478] On the transparent ITO electrode (anode), a hole injection layer of 2-TNATA (4,4',4”-tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine) and a hole transport layer of NPB (N,N'-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine) were formed as a conventional layer.

[0479] The light-emitting layer was thermally vacuum deposited on the hole transport layer as follows. As the light-emitting layer, the heterocyclic compound described in Table 11 below was deposited to as a host, and as a green phosphorescent dopant, Ir(ppy)3 was doped and deposited at 7% relative to the deposition thickness of the light-emitting layer. After that, BCP was deposited to as a hole blocking layer, and Alq3 was deposited on the hole blocking layer to as an electron transport layer. Finally, an electron injection layer was formed on the electron transport layer by depositing lithium fluoride (LiF) to the thickness, and then a cathode was formed on the electron injection layer by depositing aluminum (Al) cathode to the thickness, and as a result, an organic electroluminescent device was fabricated.

[0480] Meanwhile, for each material to be used in OLED fabrication, all the organic compounds required for fabricating OLED were vacuum sublimation purified under 10 -8 torr to 10 -6 torr.

[0481] For each of the organic electroluminescent devices fabricated as above, the electroluminescence (EL) characteristics were measured using M7000 manufactured by McScience Inc., and for the measurement results, T was measured by a lifetime measurement system (M6000) manufactured by McScience Inc. at a standard brightness of 6,000 cd / m 2 when90 .

[0482] The results of measuring the driving voltage, luminous efficiency, color coordinates (CIE), and lifetime of the above-manufactured organic light-emitting device are shown in Table 11 below.

[0487] <Experimental Example 2>-Fabrication of Organic Light-Emitting Device

[0488] A glass substrate coated with ITO having a thickness of as a thin film was ultrasonically cleaned with distilled water. After cleaning with distilled water, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned with solvents such as acetone, methanol, and isopropyl alcohol, then dried, and subjected to UVO treatment for 5 minutes using UV in a UV cleaner. After that, the substrate was transferred to a plasma cleaner (PT), and plasma treatment was performed under vacuum for ITO work function and residual film removal, and then the substrate was transferred to a thermal deposition apparatus for organic deposition.

[0489] On the transparent ITO electrode (anode), a hole injection layer 2-TNATA (4,4',4”-tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine) and a hole transport layer NPB (N,N'-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine) were formed as a conventional layer.

[0490] The light-emitting layer was thermally vacuum deposited on the hole transport layer as follows. As the light-emitting layer, one type of compound described in Chemical Formula 1 and one type of compound described in Chemical Formula 2 were premixed and deposited in one supply source to as the host, and as a green phosphorescent dopant, Ir(ppy)3 was doped and deposited at 7% with respect to the deposition thickness of the light-emitting layer. After that, BCP was deposited to as a hole blocking layer, and Alq3 was deposited on the hole blocking layer to as an electron transport layer.

[0491] Finally, an electron injection layer was formed on the electron transport layer by depositing lithium fluoride (LiF) to the thickness, and then a cathode was formed on the electron injection layer by depositing aluminum (Al) cathode to the thickness, and as a result, an organic electroluminescent device was fabricated.

[0492] Meanwhile, for each material to be used in OLED manufacturing, all the organic compounds required for manufacturing OLEDs are purified by vacuum sublimation at pressures ranging from 10 -8 torr to 10 -6 torr.

[0493] For each of the organic electroluminescent devices manufactured as described above, the electroluminescence (EL) characteristics are measured using an M7000 manufactured by McScience Inc., and for the measurement results, the lifetime is measured by a lifetime measurement system (M6000) manufactured by McScience Inc. at a standard brightness of 6,000 cd / m 2 ². 90

[0494] The results of measuring the driving voltage, luminous efficiency, color coordinates (CIE), and lifetime of the organic light-emitting devices manufactured according to the present disclosure are shown in Table 12 below.

[0495] [Table 12]

[0496]

[0497]

[0498]

[0499]

[0500] As can be seen from the results in Table 12, compared with Comparative Examples 20 to 30, the organic electroluminescent devices using the light-emitting layer materials of the organic electroluminescent devices of the present disclosure have a lower driving voltage, improved luminous efficiency, and also have a significantly improved lifetime.

[0501] From the results in Table 11 (each separately containing the compound) and Table 12 (simultaneously containing the heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 1 and the heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 2), it can be seen that when the compound of Chemical Formula 1 and the compound of Chemical Formula 2 are simultaneously contained, effects or more excellent efficiency and lifetime are obtained. Such results can lead to the prediction that an exciplex phenomenon occurs when the two compounds are simultaneously contained.

[0502] In particular, Table 11 shows the organic light-emitting devices each separately containing Chemical Formula 1 or Chemical Formula 2 of the present application, and it is determined that especially when Chemical Formula 2 is used alone, very poor performance is obtained, and it is determined that by combining Chemical Formula 1 of the present application and Chemical Formula 2 of the present application as in Table 12, higher-level performance is achieved by forming an exciplex form, enhancing hole transport ability, and reducing the resistance to receiving holes from the hole transport layer.

[0503] The exciplex phenomenon is a phenomenon in which energy of the size of the HOMO energy level of the donor (p-host) and the LUMO energy level of the acceptor (n-host) is released due to electron exchange between two molecules. When the exciplex phenomenon occurs between two molecules, reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) occurs, and thus, the internal quantum efficiency of fluorescence can be increased up to 100%. When a donor (p-host) having good hole transport ability and an acceptor (n-host) having good electron transport ability are used as the host of the light-emitting layer, holes are injected into the p-host and electrons are injected into the n-host, and thus the driving voltage can be reduced, which contributes to an improvement in lifetime. In the disclosure of the present application, it was determined that excellent device characteristics were obtained when a heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 2 acting as a donor and a heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 1 acting as an acceptor were used as the light-emitting layer host.

[0504] The structure of Chemical Formula 1 in the disclosure of the present application is such a structure: the structure has a high electronegativity and has a more stable structure containing dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene and a fused arylene group. The structure also has a high electron mobility, and thus receives electrons from the electron transport layer and transports the electrons to the dopant, and forms an exciplex with the p-type host (electron donor) to have higher efficiency through reverse intersystem crossing. In particular, it was determined that even in an environment where reverse intersystem crossing occurs, high structural stability and a longer lifetime in which the fused ring group has delayed material deterioration even when many electrons are introduced into the light-emitting layer were obtained.

[0505] In addition, in the present disclosure, a light-emitting host formed of a plurality of types of compounds is deposited after being premixed and formed in one supply source (Experimental Example 2, Table 12). Here, since multiple depositions are not performed, there is an advantage of completely maintaining the uniformity of the film surface and film characteristics. In addition, by simplifying the process, a device having improved efficiency, driving voltage, and lifetime can be obtained, and the overall process cost can be reduced.

[0506] As can be seen from Table 12, the fused carbazole structure of the heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 2 in the present application is a structure containing two carbazoles or one carbazole and a heterocycle, and has strong electron donor characteristics due to the non-bonding electron pairs present in the nitrogen of carbazole and the heteroatom. In other words, as can be seen from Table 12, it was determined that the overall driving voltage / efficiency / lifetime is excellent compared to when using one of the heterocyclic compound corresponding to Chemical Formula 1 in the present application and the compounds corresponding to Compounds A to E (bicarbazole type; or a structure in which carbazole is bonded to a heterocycle).

[0507] In addition, compared with non-fused carbazole compounds, a wide-region HOMO energy level is obtained through π-conjugation over a wide region corresponding to the entire basic skeleton, and a wider hole distribution is obtained. Therefore, the property of fast hole transport is determined when driving the device, and thereby, the advantages of improving the current efficiency by reducing the driving voltage of the device and reducing the threshold voltage are determined.

[0508] In addition, the fused carbazole in Chemical Formula 2 has a form in which a pentagonal ring to a hexagonal ring are fused through π-π bonds. It has a structure (rigid structure) containing the smallest intramolecular distortion, thereby showing high thermal stability (T d95 : 400 °C or higher, high T g ). The high thermal stability is advantageous in overcoming the severe high-vacuum and high-temperature conditions of the deposition process of the organic light-emitting device (OLED), and is also advantageous in resisting device degradation when driving the device for a long time. Therefore, it is seen that the fused carbazole structure as the same as the structure of Chemical Formula 2 can be a basic structure of a material with a good lifetime based on low voltage, high efficiency, and high thermal stability.

[0509] In addition, when pre-mixing is performed as in Table 12, it is necessary to check the unique thermal properties of each material before mixing. Herein, according to the unique thermal properties of the materials, depositing the pre-mixed host material from one supply source can greatly affect the deposition conditions (including the deposition rate). When the thermal properties between two or more types of pre-mixed materials are not similar and are very different, repeatability and reproducibility may not be maintained during the deposition process, which means that it may not be possible to fabricate all-uniform OLEDs in one deposition process.

[0510] To overcome this problem, the electrical properties of the materials can be adjusted by using an appropriate combination of the basic structure and substituents of each material, and in addition to this, the thermal properties of the materials can be controlled according to the molecular structure form. Therefore, by using various substituents other than the basic skeleton in Chemical Formula 2 and using the C-N bonding of the fused carbazole as in Chemical Formula 2, the diversification of various pre-mixed deposition processes between hosts can be ensured by controlling the thermal properties of each material and attempting to improve the device performance. This has the advantage of ensuring the diversification of pre-mixed deposition processes using three, four, or more host materials and two compounds as hosts.

[0511] In addition, when driving an OLED, the interior of the device is exposed to various types of heat for a long time due to the heat energy generated by non-radiative emission caused by long-term driving of the device and the heat energy generated by the resistance to current. Different from metals, organic materials have very low thermal resistance, and thus precise thermal stability data is required to ensure the thermal stability of the materials. In addition, the deposition process of the OLED device is also carried out at high temperature under high vacuum, and materials with low thermal stability have deteriorated during the deposition process and may not be able to drive the OLED at all. Therefore, when constructing an OLED, it is very important preliminary work to check the thermal stability of the materials forming the device.

[0512] The fused carbazole structure described in Chemical Formula 2 has a form in which several pentagonal rings / hexagonal rings fused by bond strength are connected, and has a very rigid structure, and thus has a high Tg of 100 °C or higher and a very high Td(95%) of 400 °C or higher. It can be seen therefrom that the material can fully withstand the harsh high vacuum / high temperature state of the OLED deposition process and has sufficient stability to prevent device deterioration even after long-term driving of the device.

[0513] Figures 4 to 21 are the thermal analysis data of each material of Chemical Formula 2 measured using a TGA / DSC device of Mettler Toledo. The measured Td is measured while raising the temperature from 30 °C to 600 °C at a rate of 10 K per minute by heating. 95 Among the thermal properties corresponding to Chemical Formula 2 such as glass transition temperature (Tg), crystallization temperature (Tc), melting temperature (Tm) and decomposition temperature (Td / 95%), the stability of the long-term driving and high vacuum deposition processes of the device is first determined by checking the glass transition temperature and decomposition temperature.

[0514] Figure 4 and Figure 5 are graphs showing the thermal stability of Compound 2-19 of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 7 are graphs showing the thermal stability of Compound 2-20 of the present application, Figure 8 and Figure 9 are graphs showing the thermal stability of Compound 2-22 of the present application, Figure 10 and Figure 11 are graphs showing the thermal stability of Compound 2-8 of the present application, Figure 12 and Figure 13 are graphs showing the thermal stability of Compound 2-18 of the present application, Figure 14 and Figure 15 are graphs showing the thermal stability of Compound 2-79 of the present application, and Figure 16 andFigure 17 This is a graph showing the thermal stability of Compound 2-123 of the present application.

[0515] In addition, Figure 18 and Figure 19 This is a graph showing the thermal stability of Compound A, and Figure 20 and Figure 21 This is a graph showing the thermal stability of Compound C.

[0516] In the graph showing thermal stability, Figures 4 to 21 Td 95 is the point at which the temperature is measured when 95% of the mass remains after applying the temperature, and when Td 95 is high, it means that it is stable even at high temperatures.

[0517] As determined by comparing Figures 4 to 17 and Figures 18 to 21 it is determined that in Compound A having a dicarbazole structure ( Figure 18 and Figure 19 ) and Compound C ( Figure 20 and Figure 21 ), Td 95 is measured to be 400 °C or lower, which shows lower thermal stability compared to the fused carbazole compound.

[0518] Therefore, it is determined that the heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 1 and the heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 2 simultaneously included are a basic structure that is sufficiently effective for manufacturing a device for the purpose of low voltage / high efficiency or an OLED having characteristics of high efficiency / long life or low voltage / long life.
