Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application claims priority and benefit to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0116104, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on September 1, 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] This specification relates to compounds and organic light-emitting devices containing them. Background Technology
[0003] Organic light emission (OLED) typically refers to the conversion of electrical energy into light energy using organic materials. OLED devices generally have a structure comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an organic material layer between them. In many cases, the organic material layer can have a multilayer structure composed of different materials to improve the efficiency and stability of the OLED. The organic material layer can be composed of, for example, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer. In such an OLED structure, if a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, holes are injected from the positive electrode into the organic material layer, and electrons are injected from the negative electrode. When the injected holes and electrons meet, excitons are formed, and light is emitted when the excitons return to the ground state.

In this case, a product manufactured by Fischer Co. was used as the cleaning agent, and distilled water filtered twice using a filter manufactured by Millipore Co. was used as the distilled water. After washing the ITO for 30 minutes, ultrasonic washing was repeated twice for 10 minutes each time with distilled water. After washing with distilled water, ultrasonic washing was performed using isopropanol, acetone, and methanol solvents, and the resulting product was dried and then transferred to a plasma scrubber. Furthermore, the substrate was cleaned with oxygen plasma for 5 minutes and then transferred to a vacuum deposition machine.
[0428] On the prepared ITO transparent electrode, HI-A and HATCN are thermally vacuum deposited to thicknesses of 650 Å and 50 Å, respectively, to sequentially form a first hole injection layer and a second hole injection layer. On the second hole injection layer, HT-A is vacuum deposited to a thickness of 600 Å to form a hole transport layer. On the hole transport layer, HT-B is vacuum deposited to a thickness of 50 Å to form an electron blocking layer.
[0429] Subsequently, the following compound BD-A, which is a blue light-emitting dopant, is vacuum-deposited on the electron blocking layer at 4 wt% of the total weight of the light-emitting layer, and the following BH-1, which is vacuum-deposited at 96 wt% of the total weight of the light-emitting layer, is formed to a thickness of up to 200 Å, thereby forming the light-emitting layer.
[0430] Next, compound ET-A, serving as the first electron transport layer, is vacuum-deposited onto the luminescent layer to a thickness of 50 Å. Subsequently, ET-B and LiQ are vacuum-deposited in a 1:1 weight ratio to form a second electron transport layer with a thickness of 360 Å. LiQ is then vacuum-deposited onto the second electron transport layer to a thickness of 5 Å to form an electron injection layer. Aluminum and silver are deposited on the electron injection layer in a 10:1 weight ratio to a thickness of 220 Å, and aluminum is then deposited on top of this to a thickness of 1,000 Å to form the negative electrode.
[0431] In the aforementioned steps, the deposition rate of the organic material was maintained between 0.4 Å / s and 0.9 Å / s, the deposition rate of the aluminum negative electrode was maintained at 2 Å / s, and the vacuum level during deposition was maintained at 1 × 10⁻⁶. -7 Up to 5×10 -8 This led to the creation of organic light-emitting devices.

In this case, LT 95 This indicates that when 20 mA / cm 2 The ratio of the time taken for the brightness to decrease to 95% when the initial brightness is set to 100% at the given current density.

[0443] In Table 1, Examples 1 to 12, which use organic light-emitting devices of Formula 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of this specification, contain compounds containing at least one deuterium in anthracene; Comparative Examples 1 and 2 contain compounds that do not contain deuterium; and Comparative Examples 3 to 5 contain compounds that do not contain deuterium in anthracene cores.
[0444] Specifically, since the compound containing deuterium in an anthracene according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention has structural properties that improve electron and hole mobility and improve molecular stability, compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 2 which do not contain deuterium and Comparative Examples 3 to 5 which do not contain deuterium in an anthracene core, it can be seen that the organic light-emitting device containing the compound is superior in terms of driving voltage, efficiency and lifetime.
