Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a resonance-type organic compound containing a BN heterocyclic structure and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Traditional fluorescent doped materials, limited by early technology, can only utilize the 25% of singlet excitons formed by electrical excitation to emit light. This results in low internal quantum efficiency (up to 25%) and external quantum efficiency generally below 5%, significantly lagging behind the efficiency of phosphorescent devices. However, phosphorescent materials, due to the strong spin-orbit coupling at the heavy atom center that enhances intersystem crossing, can effectively utilize singlet and triplet excitons formed by electrical excitation to emit light, resulting in a device internal quantum efficiency of 100%.

[0003] With the advent of the 5G era, higher requirements are being placed on color rendering standards. In addition to being efficient and stable, luminescent materials also need to have a narrower half-width to improve the color purity of the device's luminescent color. Fluorescent doping materials can achieve high fluorescence quantum and narrow half-width through molecular engineering. Blue fluorescent doping materials have achieved a phased breakthrough, and the half-width of boron-based materials can be reduced to below 30nm. However, research in the green light region, to which the human eye is more sensitive, has mainly focused on phosphorescent doping materials. However, their luminescent peak shape is difficult to narrow through simple methods. Therefore, to meet higher color rendering standards, it is of great significance to study efficient green fluorescent doping materials with narrow half-width.

[0004] In addition, TADF-sensitized fluorescence technology (TSF) combines TADF materials with fluorescent doping materials, using TADF materials as exciton-sensitizing media to convert triplet excitons formed by electrical excitation into singlet excitons, and transfers energy to fluorescent doping materials through long-range energy transfer of singlet excitons, which can also achieve 100% device quantum efficiency. This technology can make up for the shortcomings of insufficient exciton utilization of fluorescent doping materials, and effectively give play to the characteristics of high fluorescence quantum yield, high device stability, high color purity and low price of fluorescent doping materials, and has broad prospects in OLEDs applications.

[0005] Boron compounds with resonant structures are more likely to achieve narrow half-width luminescence. Such materials are used in TADF-sensitized fluorescence technology to achieve the preparation of devices with high efficiency and narrow half-width emission. For example, CN 107507921 A and CN110492006 A disclose a TADF material with a difference between the lowest singlet state and the lowest triplet state energy level of less than or equal to 0.2eV as the main body, and a boron-containing material as the doping luminescent layer combination technology; CN 110492005 A and CN 110492009 A disclose a luminescent layer combination scheme with an exciplex as the main body and a boron-containing material as the doping; both can achieve efficiency comparable to phosphorescence and a relatively narrow half-width. Therefore, the development of TADF-sensitized fluorescence technology based on narrow half-width boron-containing luminescent materials has unique advantages and strong potential in terms of BT.2020 display indicators. Summary of the Invention

When used as a dopant material in the light-emitting layer material of an OLED light-emitting device, the current efficiency of the device is significantly improved, and the luminous color purity and device life are also greatly improved.

In this article, a C4-C9 cycloalkyl group is preferably used, a C5-C8 cycloalkyl group is more preferably used, and a C5-C7 cycloalkyl group is particularly preferably used. Non-limiting examples thereof may include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, 4-methylcyclohexyl, 4,4-dimethylcyclohexyl, adamantyl, and cycloheptyl.

[0085] As the substrate for the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention, any substrate commonly used for organic electroluminescent devices can be used. Examples include transparent substrates such as glass or transparent plastic substrates; opaque substrates such as silicon substrates; and flexible PI film substrates. Different substrates have varying mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, and water resistance. Depending on the properties of the substrate, its use varies. In the present invention, a transparent substrate is preferably used. The thickness of the substrate is not particularly limited.

[0086] A first electrode is formed on a substrate, and the first electrode and the second electrode may be opposite to each other. The first electrode may be an anode. The first electrode may be a transmissive electrode, a semi-transmissive electrode, or a reflective electrode. When the first electrode is a transmissive electrode, it may be formed using a transparent metal oxide, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), zinc oxide (ZnO), or indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO). When the first electrode is a semi-transmissive electrode or a reflective electrode, it may include Ag, Mg, Al, Pt, Pd, Au, Ni, Nd, Ir, Cr, or a metal mixture. The thickness of the first electrode layer depends on the material used, and is typically 50-500 nm, preferably 70-300 nm, and more preferably 100-200 nm.

[0087] The organic functional material layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode includes, from bottom to top, a hole transport region, a light emitting layer and an electron transport region.

[0088] Herein, the hole transport region constituting the organic electroluminescent device can be exemplified by a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, and the like.

[0089] As materials for the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, and the electron blocking layer, any material can be selected from known materials used in OLED devices.

[0090] Examples of the above materials include phthalocyanine derivatives, triazole derivatives, triarylmethane derivatives, triarylamine derivatives, oxazole derivatives, oxadiazole derivatives, hydrazone derivatives, stilbene derivatives, pyridinoline derivatives, polysilane derivatives, imidazole derivatives, phenylenediamine derivatives, amino-substituted quilone derivatives, styrylanthracene derivatives, styrylamine derivatives and other styrene compounds, fluorene derivatives, spirofluorene derivatives, silazane derivatives, aniline copolymers, porphyrin compounds, carbazole derivatives, polyarylalkane derivatives, polyphenylene vinyl and its derivatives, polythiophene and its derivatives, poly-N-vinylcarbazole derivatives, thiophene oligomers and other conductive polymer oligomers, aromatic tertiary amine compounds, styrene amination compounds, compounds, triamines, tetraamines, benzidines, propargyl diamine derivatives, p-phenylenediamine derivatives, m-phenylenediamine derivatives, 1,1'-bis(4-diarylaminophenyl)cyclohexane, 4,4'-bis(diarylamino)biphenyls, bis[4-(diarylamino)phenyl]methanes, 4,4'-bis(diarylamino)terphenyls, 4,4'-bis(diarylamino)quaterphenyls, 4,4'-bis(diarylamino)diphenyl ethers, 4,4'-bis(diarylamino)diphenylsulfanes, bis[4-(diarylamino)phenyl]dimethylmethanes, bis[4-(diarylamino)phenyl]-bis(trifluoromethyl)methanes, or 2,2-diphenylethylene compounds.

[0091] Furthermore, depending on the device configuration requirements, the hole transport film layer between the hole transport auxiliary layer and the hole injection layer of the organic electroluminescent device can be a single film layer or a stacked structure of multiple hole transport materials. In this article, the thickness of the various hole carrier conductive film layers with different functions described above is not particularly limited.

[0092] The hole injection layer contains a host organic material that can conduct holes, and also contains a P-type dopant material with a deep HOMO energy level (the corresponding LUMO energy level will also be very deep). Based on empirical summary, in order to achieve smooth hole injection from the anode to the organic film layer, the HOMO energy level of the host organic material used in the anode interface buffer layer must have certain characteristics with the P-doped material. Only then can the charge transfer state between the host material and the dopant material be achieved, and ohmic contact between the buffer layer and the anode can be achieved, achieving efficient injection and conduction of holes from the electrode.

[0093] In view of the above empirical summary, for hole-type host materials with different HOMO energy levels, different P-doped materials need to be selected to match them in order to achieve ohmic contact at the interface and improve the hole injection effect.

[0094] Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, in order to better inject holes, the hole injection layer further includes a P-type dopant material with charge conductivity selected from the following: quinone derivatives, such as tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-tetracyano-1,4-benzoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ); or hexaazatriphenylene derivatives, such as 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexacyano-1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene (HAT-CN); or cyclopropane derivatives, such as 4,4',4"-((1E,1'E,1"E)-cyclopropane-1,2,3-trimethylenetris(cyanoformylidene))tris(2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzyl); or metal oxides, such as tungsten oxide and molybdenum oxide, but not limited thereto.

[0095] In the hole injection layer of the present invention, the ratio of the hole transport material to the P-type doping material is 99:1-95:5, preferably 99:1-97:3, based on mass.

[0096] The thickness of the hole injection layer of the present invention may be 5-100 nm, preferably 5-50 nm, and more preferably 5-20 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.

[0097] The thickness of the hole transport layer of the present invention may be 5 to 200 nm, preferably 10 to 150 nm, and more preferably 20 to 100 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.

[0098] The thickness of the electron blocking layer of the present invention may be 1-20 nm, preferably 5-10 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.

[0099] After forming the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer and the electron blocking layer, a corresponding light emitting layer is formed on the electron blocking layer.

[0100] The light-emitting layer may include a host material and a dopant material. The host material may be a common green light host material in the art, and the dopant material may be a boron-containing organic compound represented by the general formula (1) of the present invention.

[0101] In the light-emitting layer of the present invention, the ratio of the host material to the dopant material used is 99:1-70:30, preferably 99:1-85:15 and more preferably 97:3-87:13, based on mass.

[0102] The thickness of the light-emitting layer can be adjusted to optimize the luminous efficiency and driving voltage. The preferred thickness range is 5 nm to 50 nm, more preferably 10-50 nm, and more preferably 15-30 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.

[0103] In the present invention, the electron transport region may include, from bottom to top, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer disposed on the light emitting layer, but is not limited thereto.

[0104] The hole blocking layer is a layer that blocks the holes injected from the anode from passing through the light-emitting layer and entering the cathode, thereby extending the life of the device and improving the performance of the device. The hole blocking layer of the present invention can be arranged on the light-emitting layer. As the hole blocking layer material of the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention, compounds with hole blocking effects known in the prior art can be used, for example, phenanthroline derivatives such as bathocuproine (called BCP), metal complexes of hydroxyquinoline derivatives such as aluminum (III) bis (2-methyl-8-quinolinol) -4-phenylphenolate (BAlq), various rare earth complexes, oxazole derivatives, triazole derivatives, triazine derivatives, 9,9'-(5-(6-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-2-phenylpyrimidin-4-yl)-1,3-phenylene)bis(9H-carbazole) (CAS No.: 1345338-69-3 ) and other pyrimidine derivatives, etc. The thickness of the hole blocking layer of the present invention may be 2-200 nm, preferably 5-150 nm and more preferably 10-100 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.

[0105] The electron transport layer can be disposed on the light-emitting layer or (if present) the hole blocking layer. The electron transport layer material is a material that readily accepts electrons from the cathode and transfers the received electrons to the light-emitting layer. Preferably, the material has a high electron mobility. As the electron transport layer of the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention, electron transport layer materials for organic electroluminescent devices known in the prior art can be used, for example, metal complexes of hydroxyquinoline derivatives represented by Alq3, BAlq and Liq, various rare earth metal complexes, triazole derivatives, 2,4-bis(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)-6-(naphthalene-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (CAS No.: 1459162-51-6) and other triazine derivatives, 2-(4-(9,10-di(naphthalene-2-yl)anthracene-2-yl)phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS No.: 561064-11-7, commonly known as LG201) and other imidazole derivatives, oxadiazole derivatives, thiadiazole derivatives, carbodiimide derivatives, quinoxaline derivatives, phenanthroline derivatives, silicon-based compound derivatives, etc. The thickness of the electron transport layer of the present invention may be 10-80 nm, preferably 20-60 nm, and more preferably 25-45 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.

[0106] The electron injection layer may be provided above the electron transport layer. The electron injection layer material is generally preferably a material having a low work function so that electrons are easily injected into the organic functional material layer. As the electron injection layer material of the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention, the electron injection layer materials for organic electroluminescent devices known in the prior art can be used, for example, lithium; lithium salts such as 8-hydroxyquinoline lithium, lithium fluoride, lithium carbonate or lithium azide; or cesium salts such as cesium fluoride, cesium carbonate or cesium azide. The thickness of the electron injection layer of the present invention may be 0.1-5 nm, preferably 0.5-3 nm and more preferably 0.8-1.5 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.

[0107] The second electrode may be disposed above the electron transport region. The second electrode may be a cathode. The second electrode may be a transmissive electrode, a semi-transmissive electrode, or a reflective electrode. When the second electrode is a transmissive electrode, the second electrode may include, for example, Li, Yb, Ca, LiF / Ca, LiF / Al, Al, Mg, BaF, Ba, Ag, or a compound or mixture thereof; when the second electrode is a semi-transmissive electrode or a reflective electrode, the second electrode may include, but is not limited to, Ag, Mg, Yb, Al, Pt, Pd, Au, Ni, Nd, Ir, Cr, Li, Ca, LiF / Ca, LiF / Al, Mo, Ti, or a compound or mixture thereof. The thickness of the cathode depends on the material used and is typically 10-50 nm, preferably 15-20 nm.

[0108] The organic electroluminescent device of the present invention may further include an encapsulation structure. The encapsulation structure may be a protective structure that prevents foreign substances, such as moisture and oxygen, from entering the organic layer of the organic electroluminescent device. The encapsulation structure may be, for example, a can, such as a glass or metal can, or a thin film covering the entire surface of the organic layer.

[0109] The method for preparing an organic electroluminescent device of the present invention comprises sequentially laminating an anode, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, an organic film layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a cathode, and optionally a cover layer, on a substrate. In this regard, vacuum deposition, vacuum evaporation, spin coating, casting, LB method, inkjet printing, laser printing, or LITI methods can be used, but are not limited thereto. In the present invention, vacuum evaporation is preferably used to form the various layers. Those skilled in the art can conventionally select the various process conditions in the vacuum evaporation method according to actual needs.

[0183] The compounds of the present invention can be used in light-emitting devices as doping materials for the light-emitting layer. The physical and chemical properties of the compounds prepared in the above embodiments of the present invention were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 2:

[0184] Table 2

[0185]

[0186] Note: Glass transition temperature (Tg) was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC, DSC204F1 differential scanning calorimeter from NETZSCH, Germany) at a heating rate of 10°C / min. The thermal gravimetric temperature (Td) is the temperature at which the weight loss reaches 1% in a nitrogen atmosphere, measured on a TGA-50H thermogravimetric analyzer from Shimadzu Corporation, Japan, with a nitrogen flow rate of 20 mL / min. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level was determined using an ionization energy measurement system (IPS-3) in a nitrogen environment. Eg was determined using a dual-beam UV-visible spectrophotometer (Model: TU-1901), where LUMO = HOMO + Eg. PLQY (fluorescence quantum yield) and FWHM (full width at half maximum) were measured in thin films using a Horiba Fluorolog-3 series fluorescence spectrometer.

[0187] As can be seen from the data in the table above, the compounds of the present invention have high glass transition temperatures and decomposition temperatures. When used as dopants in the light-emitting layer, they can inhibit the crystallization and film phase separation of the material; they can also inhibit the decomposition of the material at high brightness, thereby improving the device's operating life. Furthermore, the compounds of the present application have shallow HOMO energy levels. When added as dopants to the host material, they can help suppress the generation of carrier traps, improve the host-guest energy transfer efficiency, and thus enhance the device's luminous efficiency.

[0188] The compounds of the present invention have a high fluorescence quantum efficiency as doping materials, and the fluorescence quantum efficiency of the materials is greater than 85%; at the same time, the spectral FWHM of the materials is narrow, which can effectively improve the color gamut of the device and improve the luminous efficiency of the device; finally, the evaporation decomposition temperature of the materials is high, which can inhibit the evaporation decomposition of the materials and effectively improve the life of the device.

[0189] The following describes in detail the application effects of the OLED materials synthesized by the present invention in devices using device Examples 1-10 and Comparative Example 1. The device fabrication processes for Device Examples 2-10 and Comparative Example 1 are identical to those of Device Example 1, utilizing the same substrate and electrode materials, with the same electrode thickness. The only difference is the material used in the light-emitting layer. The layer structures and test results for each device example are shown in Table 3.

[0190] Device Example 1

[0191] like Figure 1As shown, the transparent substrate layer 1 is a transparent PI film. The ITO anode layer 2 (film thickness 150nm) is washed, i.e., washed with a detergent (Semiclean M-L20), washed with pure water, dried, and then subjected to UV-ozone cleaning to remove organic residues on the transparent ITO surface. On the washed ITO anode layer 2, a 10nm thick layer of HT-1 and HI-1 is deposited using a vacuum evaporation apparatus as a hole injection layer 3. The mass ratio of HT-1 to HI-1 is 97:3. HT-1 is then evaporated to a thickness of 60nm as a hole transport layer 4. EB-1 is then evaporated to a thickness of 30nm as an electron blocking layer 5. After the electron blocking material deposition is completed, the light-emitting layer 6 of the OLED light-emitting device is fabricated. CBP is used as the first host material, DMAC-BP is used as the second host material, and Compound 2 is used as the dopant material. The mass ratio of CBP, the second host material, and Compound 2 is 67:30:3, and the light-emitting layer thickness is 30nm. After the light-emitting layer 6, HB-1 was vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 5 nm. This layer served as the hole-blocking layer 7. After the hole-blocking layer 7, ET-1 and Liq were vacuum-deposited in a 1:1 weight ratio to form a 30 nm thick film. This served as the electron-transporting layer 8. On the electron-transporting layer 8, a 1 nm thick LiF layer was vacuum-deposited. This served as the electron-injection layer 9. On the electron-injection layer 9, an 80 nm thick Mg:Ag electrode layer was vacuum-deposited in a 1:9 weight ratio. This served as the cathode layer 10.

[0192] The molecular structure formula of the relevant materials is shown below:

[0193]

[0194] After completing the OLED light-emitting device as described above, the anode and cathode were connected using a known drive circuit, and the device's current efficiency and lifetime were measured. Examples and comparative examples of devices prepared using the same method are shown in Table 3; the test results for the current efficiency and LT95 lifetime of the resulting devices are shown in Table 4.

[0195] Table 3

[0196]

[0197] Table 4

[0198]

[0199] Note: Voltage, current efficiency, and luminescence peak were measured using an IVL (current-voltage-luminance) test system (Suzhou Fushida Scientific Instrument Co., Ltd.); the lifespan test system was an EAS-62C OLED device lifespan tester from Japan System Giken Co., Ltd.; LT95 refers to the time it takes for the device's luminance to decay to 95%; all data are measured at 10 mA / cm 2 Next test.

[0200] It can be seen from the device data results in Table 4 that, compared with the device comparative example 1, the current efficiency and device life of the organic light-emitting devices of Examples 1-10 of the present invention are greatly improved compared with the OLED devices of known materials.

[0201] In summary, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
