AI Technical Summary
Existing organic electroluminescent devices suffer from problems such as high driving voltage, low luminous efficiency, and short lifespan. In particular, because hole-type materials have higher mobility than electron-type materials, electrons and holes do not recombine sufficiently in the light-emitting layer, resulting in low energy utilization.
In organic electroluminescent devices, a hole adjustment layer is introduced. Compounds with bipolar characteristics are used in combination with electronic and hole host materials. By matching the LUMO energy level of the hole adjustment layer with the light-emitting layer, the carrier transport performance is optimized and the electron-hole binding rate is improved.
It significantly improves luminous efficiency, reduces driving voltage, and extends device lifespan.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of organic electroluminescence, in particular to an organic electroluminescent device and an electronic device comprising the same. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, organic electroluminescent devices (OLED) have been widely concerned as the next generation of flat panel display technology. Compared with liquid crystal display (LCD), OLED has a wider color gamut, higher contrast, wider temperature range, faster response time, and can realize flexible display, etc.
[0003] An organic electroluminescent device (OLED) generally comprises an anode, a cathode and an organic layer formed between the two electrodes. The organic layer can include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a light-emitting layer (containing a host and a dopant material), an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc. If a voltage is applied to the organic electroluminescent device, holes and electrons are injected into the light-emitting layer by the anode and the cathode, respectively. Then in the light-emitting layer, the injected holes and electrons recombine to form excitons. The excitons in the excited state release energy outward, and then the light-emitting layer emits light outward.
[0004] According to the statistical rules of electron spin, singlet excitons and triplet excitons are generated in a ratio of 25%:75%. And according to the classification of light-emitting principle, fluorescent light is the light-emitting of singlet excitons, so 25% is the limit of internal quantum efficiency in organic electroluminescent elements. As for phosphorescent light, it is the light-emitting of triplet excitons, so in the case of effective intersystem crossing from triplet excitons, the internal quantum efficiency can theoretically reach 100% (i.e. using all singlet and triplet excitons). For organic electroluminescent devices, the elements with optimal performance are designed according to the light-emitting mechanisms of fluorescent and phosphorescent types. In particular, for phosphorescent organic electroluminescent devices, it is known from their light-emitting characteristics that when simply borrowing fluorescent element technology, high-performance elements cannot be obtained. However, with the acceleration of industrialization process, more and more OLED materials and device design schemes with low power consumption, high efficiency and long life have attracted people's attention. In the more common OLED device structure at present, because the mobility of hole type (P) material is generally higher than that of electron type (N) material, the host material is usually a single N-type material, and the use of a single N-type host material often has a lower hole mobility and even a strong hole blocking effect, which leads to insufficient recombination of electrons and holes in the light-emitting layer, low energy utilization rate, and ultimately low current efficiency and serious impact on device life.
[0005] At present, there are still problems of poor performance in the use of organic electroluminescent devices, such as high driving voltage, low luminous efficiency or short service life, which affect the use field of organic electroluminescent devices. Therefore, it is still necessary to further study in this field to improve the performance of organic electroluminescent devices. SUMMARY

[0079] In the present application, the description mode "each of…… is independently" and "…… is independently selected from" can be interchangeable, and should be interpreted in a broad sense, which can mean that the specific options expressed by the same symbols in different groups do not affect each other, or that the specific options expressed by the same symbols in the same group do not affect each other. For example, "each of R1, R2, R3, R4, R5and R6is independently selected from hydrogen, deuterium, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, an alkyl group having 1-5 carbon atoms, a deuterated alkyl group having 1-5 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6-12 carbon atoms, a heteroaryl group having 5-12 carbon atoms, a trialkylsilyl group having 3-12 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1-5 carbon atoms, or a cycloalkyl group having 5-10 carbon atoms" means that: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5and R6are selected from hydrogen, deuterium, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, an alkyl group having 1-5 carbon atoms, a deuterated alkyl group having 1-5 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6-12 carbon atoms, a heteroaryl group having 5-12 carbon atoms, a trialkylsilyl group having 3-12 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1-5 carbon atoms, or a cycloalkyl group having 5-10 carbon atoms, and the options of each R1, R2, R3, R4, R5and R6do not affect each other. wherein each q is independently 0, 1, 2 or 3, and each R" is independently selected from hydrogen, deuterium, fluorine, chlorine, means that: formula Q-1 represents that there are q substituents R" on the benzene ring, each R" can be the same or different, and the options of each R" do not affect each other; formula Q-2 represents that there are q substituents R" on each benzene ring of the biphenyl, the number q of R" substituents on the two benzene rings can be the same or different, and each R" can be the same or different, and the options of each R" do not affect each other.
[0080] In the present application, the term "optionally", "optionally" means that the event or circumstance described subsequently can occur or not occur. For example, "optionally, any two adjacent substituents form a ring" means that the two substituents can form a ring or not form a ring, that is, it includes the case where the two adjacent substituents form a ring and the case where the two adjacent substituents do not form a ring. For another example, "optionally, any two adjacent Ra form a ring" means that any two adjacent substituents Ra can be connected to each other to form a ring, or any two adjacent substituents Ra can exist independently. In the present application, in "two adjacent substituents form a ring", "adjacent" can include two substituents on the same atom, and can also include two substituents on two adjacent atoms; when the two substituents are on the same atom, the two substituents can form a saturated or unsaturated ring with the atom to which they are commonly connected; when the two substituents are on two adjacent atoms, the two substituents can be fused into a ring.

The 5-13 membered ring in the present application is, for example but not limited to, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, benzene ring, indene ring, adamantane, fluorene ring, naphthalene ring, etc. The 5-13 membered ring refers to a ring system formed by 5-13 ring atoms. For example, a fluorene ring is a 13-membered ring, a cyclohexane is a 6-membered ring, and adamantane is a 10-membered ring.
[0082] Further, the 6-10 membered aromatic ring is selected from a benzene ring or a naphthalene ring.
[0083] In the present application, the term "substituted or unsubstituted" means that the functional group recited after the term can or can not have a substituent (hereinafter, the substituents will be collectively referred to as Rcfor convenience of description). For example, "substituted or unsubstituted aryl" means aryl having a substituent Rc, or aryl which is not substituted. The substituents Rcmentioned above, for example, can be deuterium, cyano, fluorine, an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a haloalkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a deuterated alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, a heteroaryl group having 5 to 12 carbon atoms, a trialkylsilyl group having 3 to 12 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, or a cycloalkyl group having 5 to 10 carbon atoms. In the present application, a "substituted" functional group can be substituted with one or more than two substituents from the above-mentioned Rc; when two substituents Rcare attached to the same atom, the two substituents Rcmay exist independently or be connected to each other to form a ring with the atom; when two substituents Rcexist adjacently on a functional group, the two adjacent substituents Rcmay exist independently or be fused with the functional group to which they are attached to form a ring.
[0084] In the present application, "a plurality of" means two or more, for example, two, three, four, five, six, and the like.
[0085] In the present application, the number of carbon atoms of a substituted or unsubstituted functional group means the total number of carbon atoms.

[0323]
[0324]
