[0002] This specification claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0048060 filed on April 21, 2020, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background Art
[0003] An electroluminescent device is a type of self-luminous display device and has advantages of having a wide viewing angle and a faster response speed and having an excellent contrast ratio.
[0004] An organic light-emitting device has a structure in which an organic thin film is disposed between two electrodes. When voltage is applied to an organic light-emitting device having such a structure, electrons and holes injected from the two electrodes are combined and paired in the organic thin film, and light is emitted when the electrons and holes are annihilated. The organic thin film may be formed in a single layer or a multilayer as necessary.
[0005] If necessary, the material of the organic film may have a light-emitting function. For example, a compound capable of forming the light-emitting layer itself may be used alone, or a compound capable of acting as a host or dopant of a host-dopant type light-emitting layer may be used as the material of the organic film. In addition, a compound capable of performing hole injection, hole transport, electron blocking, hole blocking, electron transport, electron injection, and the like may also be used as the material of the organic film.
[0006] The development of organic thin film materials has been continuously required to enhance the performance, lifespan or efficiency of organic light emitting devices. Summary of the invention

[0107] Z12 and Z13 are the same as or different from each other, and are each independently 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 containing O or S as a heteroatom,
[0108] R, R' and R" have the same definitions as in Chemical Formula 1,
[0109] R21 and R22 are the same as or different from each other, and are each independently 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, or two or more adjacent groups are bonded to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C60 aromatic hydrocarbon ring or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C60 heterocyclic ring,

[0111] e1 is an integer from 1 to 5,
[0112] When a1 to e1 are each 2 or more, the substituents in the brackets are the same as or different from each other.
[0113] r1 and r2 are each an integer of 0 or 1, and
[0114] r1+r2<2.
[0115] Specifically, as in Chemical Formulae 3 to 8, the heterocyclic compound according to the present application has a sufficiently long substituent or a substituent having a large molecular weight, which can effectively stabilize electrons since LUMO is delocalized from the triazine core to the substituent, and therefore, the organic light-emitting device including the heterocyclic compound has excellent service life characteristics.
[0116] In addition, the dipole moment is different depending on the type of the terminal substituent of the triazine as the core structure, and the molecular mobility can be adjusted. This allows the appropriate triazine terminal substituent to be selected depending on the charge balance of the device and allows the sublimation temperature to be adjusted by affecting the molecular rigidity depending on the terminal substituent, and therefore, the organic light-emitting device including the heterocyclic compound has excellent service life characteristics. In other words, too high a sublimation temperature causes molecular degradation before the molecules sublimate, which inhibits the efficiency and service life of the device.

[0218] Specific details of the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 are the same as the description provided above.
[0219] In addition to using the heterocyclic compounds described above to form one or more organic material layers, the organic light-emitting device of the present disclosure may be manufactured using commonly used organic light-emitting device manufacturing methods and materials.
[0220] When manufacturing an organic light-emitting device, the heterocyclic compound can be formed into an organic material layer via a solution coating method and a vacuum deposition method. Herein, the solution coating method means spin coating, dip coating, inkjet printing, screen printing, spraying, roll coating and the like, but is not limited thereto.

[0223] In an organic light-emitting device provided in one embodiment of the present application, the organic material layer including the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 further includes a heterocyclic compound represented by the following Chemical Formula 2.
[0224] [Chemical formula 2]
[0225]

[0232] When the organic material layer of the organic light-emitting device includes the heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 1 and the heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 2, more excellent efficiency and lifespan are obtained. Such results may predict that when the two compounds are included at the same time, an exciplex phenomenon occurs.
[0233] The exciplex phenomenon is a phenomenon in which energy having the size of the donor (p host) HOMO energy level and the acceptor (n host) LUMO energy level 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 transporting ability and an acceptor (n host) having good electron transporting ability are used as hosts 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 ultimately helps to enhance the service life.

[0375] <Experimental Example 1>
[0376] -Manufacturing of organic light-emitting devices
[0377] A glass substrate on which indium tin oxide was coated in the form of a thin film to a thickness of 1,500 angstroms was ultrasonically cleaned with distilled water. After the cleaning with distilled water was completed, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned with a solvent such as acetone, methanol, and isopropyl alcohol, then dried, and subjected to ultraviolet ozone treatment using UV in an ultraviolet cleaner for 5 minutes. Thereafter, the substrate was transferred to a plasma cleaner (PT), and after plasma treatment was performed under vacuum for ITO work function and residual film removal, the substrate was transferred to a thermal deposition apparatus for organic deposition.
[0378] On the transparent ITO electrode (anode), a hole injection layer 2-TNATA (4,4',4"-tri[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 common layers.
[0379] A light-emitting layer was thermally vacuum deposited thereon as follows. As a light-emitting layer, the compound of Chemical Formula 1 described in Table 6 below was deposited to 400 angstroms, and a green phosphorescent dopant [Ir(ppy)3] was doped and deposited at 7% relative to the deposition thickness of the light-emitting layer. Thereafter, BCP (bathocuproine) was deposited to 60 angstroms as a hole blocking layer, and Alq3 was deposited to 200 angstroms thereon as an electron transport layer. Finally, an electron injection layer was formed on the electron transport layer by depositing lithium fluoride (LiF) to a thickness of 10 angstroms, and then a cathode was formed on the electron injection layer by depositing an aluminum (Al) cathode to a thickness of 1,200 angstroms, and thus, an organic electroluminescent device was manufactured.
[0380] At the same time, in 10 -8 Support up to 10 -6 Under the support, all organic compounds required for the manufacture of OLEDs are purified by vacuum sublimation for each material used in the manufacture of OLEDs.
[0381] For each of the organic electroluminescent devices manufactured as above, electroluminescent (EL) characteristics were measured using M7000 manufactured by MicroScience, and according to the measurement results, when the standard brightness was 6,000 cd / m2, T was measured via a service life measurement system (M6000) manufactured by MicroScience. 90 .
[0382] The driving voltage, luminous efficiency, color (EL color), and lifespan of the organic light-emitting device manufactured according to the present disclosure were measured and are shown in Table 7 below.
[0383] [Table 7]
[0384]
[0385]
[0386] As can be seen from the results of Table 7, compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 18, the organic electroluminescent device using the organic electroluminescent device light-emitting layer material of the present disclosure has a lower driving voltage, enhanced luminous efficiency, and significantly improved service life.
[0387] Specifically, in the following Table 8, the LUMO orbital of compound 1-298 (Example 17) is delocalized to triazine and terphenyl substituents. However, it was identified that when the triazine group does not have a sufficiently long aryl substituent as in the compounds of Ref. 4, Ref. 7, Ref. 8, Ref. 11, Ref. 14, Ref. 16, and Ref. 19, the LUMO orbital of the triazine is localized to the short aryl substituent, thereby failing to effectively stabilize the electrons and thus reducing the service life.
[0388] [Table 8]
[0389]
[0390]
[0391] In the following Table 9, it was identified that when the triazine group was substituted with carbazole as in the compounds of Ref. 1, Ref. 9 and Ref. 10, the LUMO orbital of the triazine was delocalized to the carbazole. It was identified that the triazine having an electron-pulling property effectively stabilized the electrons, however, the carbazole having an electron-pushing property could not effectively stabilize the electrons and thus reduced the service life.
[0392] [Table 9]
[0393]
[0394] It was identified that when the triazine group was substituted with a pyrimidinyl group, a cyano group or a pyridyl group as in the compounds of Ref. 2, Ref. 3, Ref. 6, Ref. 17 and Ref. 18, the electron mobility increased excessively and the balance between holes and electrons was broken in the light-emitting layer, and thus, the service life was reduced.
[0395] When the No. 3 and No. 4 positions of carbazole are substituted with phenyl groups as in the compounds of Ref. 11, Ref. 12, Ref. 13, Ref. 15, and Ref. 16, the sublimation temperature increases by having a larger molecular weight than unsubstituted carbazole, and a relatively planar structure is formed by having a smaller structural distortion than carbazole having phenyl groups substituted at the No. 2 position, and the sublimation temperature increases. It was identified that when exposed to a higher sublimation temperature for a long time, the organic compound deteriorates and the service life decreases.
[0396] It was identified that when carbazole was substituted with amine or carbazole as in the compounds of Ref. 6, Ref. 7, and Ref. 8, hole mobility excessively increased and the balance between holes and electrons was broken in the light emitting layer, and thus, the service life decreased.
[0397] In the compound of Ref. 10, a pyridine bond replaces triazine. It is identified that this reduces electron mobility, and the balance between holes and electrons is broken in the light-emitting layer, and therefore, the service life is reduced.
[0398] In Table 10 below, the compound of Ref.5 has a pyrene group directly bonded to triazine. It was identified that the pyrene substituted with a substituent group reabsorbs light energy (about 2.4 electron volts) emitted from a green dopant due to a low T1 energy level, and the device has reduced efficiency and service life. Pyrene with a low T1 energy level is mainly used as a dopant for fluorescent OLED devices rather than phosphorescent OLED devices, and its principle is to drive the device by preventing T1 energy transfer and targeting S1 energy transfer.
[0399] [Table 10]

[0401] <Experimental Example 2>
[0402] -Manufacturing of organic light-emitting devices
[0403] A glass substrate on which indium tin oxide was coated in a thin film form to a thickness of 1,500 angstroms was ultrasonically cleaned with distilled water. After the cleaning with distilled water was completed, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned with a solvent such as acetone, methanol, and isopropyl alcohol, then dried, and treated with ultraviolet ozone for 5 minutes using UV in an ultraviolet cleaner. Thereafter, the substrate was transferred to a plasma cleaner (PT), and after plasma treatment under vacuum for ITO work function and residual film removal, the substrate was transferred to a thermal deposition device for organic deposition.
[0404] On the transparent ITO electrode (anode), a hole injection layer 2-TNATA (4,4',4"-tri[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 common layers.
[0405] A light-emitting layer was thermally vacuum deposited thereon as follows. As a light-emitting layer, a compound of one type of chemical formula 1 described in Table 11 below and a compound of one type of chemical formula 2 were premixed in a weight ratio as described in Table 11 below, and deposited to 400 angstroms in a supply source as a host, and a green phosphorescent dopant [Ir(ppy)3] was doped and deposited in an amount of 7% relative to the deposition thickness of the light-emitting layer. Thereafter, BCP (bathocuproine) was deposited to 60 angstroms as a hole blocking layer, and Alq3 was deposited to 200 angstroms thereon as an electron transport layer. Finally, an electron injection layer was formed on the electron transport layer by depositing lithium fluoride (LiF) to a thickness of 10 angstroms, and then a cathode was formed on the electron injection layer by depositing an aluminum (Al) cathode to a thickness of 1,200 angstroms, and thus, an organic electroluminescent device was manufactured.
[0406] At the same time, in 10 -8 Support up to 10 -6 Under the support, all organic compounds required for the manufacture of OLEDs are purified by vacuum sublimation for each material used in the manufacture of OLEDs.
[0407] For each of the organic electroluminescent devices manufactured as above, electroluminescent (EL) characteristics were measured using M7000 manufactured by MicroScience, and according to the measurement results, when the standard brightness was 6,000 cd / m2, T was measured via a service life measurement system (M6000) manufactured by MicroScience. 90 .
[0408] The driving voltage, luminous efficiency, color coordinates (CIE), and lifespan of the organic light-emitting device manufactured according to the present disclosure were measured and are shown in Table 11 below.
[0409] [Table 11]
[0410]
[0411] Based on the results of Table 11, when the compound of Chemical Formula 1 (n-type) and the compound of Chemical Formula 2 are simultaneously included, more excellent effects of efficiency and service life are obtained. Such results may lead to prediction of the occurrence of an exciplex phenomenon when both compounds are simultaneously included.
[0412] The exciplex phenomenon is a phenomenon in which energy having 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 the exchange of electrons 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 transporting ability and an acceptor (n host) having good electron transporting 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 ultimately helps to enhance the service life. In the disclosure of the present application, it is identified that the compound of Chemical Formula 2 acts as a donor and the compound of Chemical Formula 1 acts as an acceptor, and excellent device characteristics are obtained when used together with the host of the light-emitting layer.
