Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic materials, and in particular, to an organic compound, a mixture, a composition, and an organic electronic device including the organic compound. Background Art
[0002] Due to the diversity of organic semiconductor materials, relatively low manufacturing costs, and excellent optical and electrical properties, etc., they have great potential in the preparation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) or optoelectronic devices, such as organic electronic devices like flat panel displays and lighting devices. The principle of light emission of organic electronic devices is organic electroluminescence, which refers to the phenomenon of converting electrical energy into light energy using organic substances. An organic electroluminescent device using organic electroluminescence usually has a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and a functional layer containing an organic substance between them. In order to improve the efficiency and lifespan of the organic electroluminescent element, the functional layer has a multi-layer structure, and each functional layer contains different organic substances. Specifically, it includes a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, or an electron injection layer, etc. In an organic electroluminescent device, when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, holes are injected into the organic layer from the positive electrode, and electrons are injected into the organic layer from the negative electrode. When the injected holes and electrons meet, excitons are formed, and light is emitted when the excitons transition back to the ground state. Such an organic electroluminescent element has characteristics such as self-luminescence, high brightness, high efficiency, low driving voltage, wide viewing angle, high contrast, and high responsiveness.
[0003] In order to improve the light-emitting efficiency of organic electroluminescent devices, the development and combination of transport layer materials are crucial. By using hole transport and electron transport layer materials with appropriate transport capabilities, the organic electroluminescent device can achieve a balance in carrier transport, enabling electrons and holes to recombine at the center of the light-emitting layer, reducing exciton quenching, and thus effectively improving the light-emitting efficiency and the lifespan of the device.
[0004] Currently, although a large number of electron transport materials have been developed, the corresponding devices still have many problems such as unbalanced carrier transport and insufficient device lifespan. How to design new materials with better performance for adjustment to achieve the effects of adjusting transport balance, improving the efficiency and lifespan of the device has always been an urgent problem for those skilled in the art.

[0245] The preparation process of the OLED device including the above compounds will be described in detail through specific examples below. The structure of the OLED device is as follows. Figure 1 As shown, 101 is a substrate; 102 is an anode; 103 is a hole injection layer; 104 is a hole transport layer; 105 is a light-emitting layer; 106 is an electron transport layer; 107 is an electron injection layer; 108 is a cathode.
[0246] The preparation steps of OLED-1 are as follows:
[0247] a. Clean the ITO (indium tin oxide) conductive glass substrate with various solvents (such as one or more of deionized water, chloroform, acetone, or isopropanol) for 15 minutes, and then perform ultraviolet ozone plasma treatment.
[0248] b. Transfer the ITO conductive glass substrate into a vacuum vapor deposition equipment. Under high vacuum (1×10 -6 mbar), use resistance heating evaporation to deposit HIM to form a hole injection layer with a thickness of 40 nm.
[0249] c. Deposit the HTM material on the hole injection layer under high vacuum to form a hole transport layer with a thickness of 100 nm (material: HTM).
[0250] d. Deposit the materials of the light-emitting layer (the weight ratio of the light-emitting host material Host and the light-emitting guest material BD is 95:5) on the hole transport layer to form a light-emitting layer with a thickness of 50 nm.
[0251] e. Deposit compound M1 on the light-emitting layer under high vacuum to form an electron transport layer with a thickness of 25 nm.
[0252] f. Electron injection layer: Thermally deposit LiQ in high vacuum (1×10 -6 mbar) to form an electron injection layer with a thickness of 1 nm.

[0254] h. Encapsulation: Encapsulate the device with ultraviolet curable resin in a nitrogen glove box.
[0255] The preparation schemes of the devices OLED-2 to OLED-15 in the examples and OLED-Ref-1 in the comparative example are the same as that of OLED-1, except that the electron transport layer material in the example OLED-1 is replaced by the corresponding compound M2 - compound M15 or Ref-1 of the electron transport layer material in Table 1.
[0256] The possible compound structures involved in the OLED preparation process are as follows:
[0257]
[0258] The current-voltage (J-V) characteristics of each OLED device were characterized by a characterization device, while the LT90 lifetime and luminous efficiency were recorded. The results are shown in Table 1 below. Among them, LT90@1000nits is the time when the brightness decreases from the initial brightness of 1000nits to 90% of the initial brightness under a constant current. Here, LT90@1000nits and the external quantum efficiency (EQE) are calculated relative to the device OLED-Ref-1 (corresponding to the electron transport layer material Ref-1) in the comparative example, that is, taking the LT90@1000nits of OLED-Ref-1 as 1 and the external quantum efficiency EQE as 1.
[0259] Table 1:
[0260]
[0261] As can be seen from Table 1: Compared with the OLED device OLED-Ref-1 prepared by using the compound Ref-1 as the electron transport layer material in the comparative example, the OLED devices OLED-1 to OLED-15 prepared by using the organic compound of the present invention as the electron transport layer material have better external quantum efficiency EQE and longer lifetime LT90@1000nits, and the EQE and lifetime LT90 exceed 1.5 times that of the device OLED-Ref-1. That is, the organic compound of the present invention as the electron transport material can effectively improve the external quantum efficiency and lifetime of the organic light-emitting device. In the organic compound of the present invention, phosphine oxide is connected to imidazole through an aromatic group, and a fluorine-containing group is connected to the imidazole. The organic compound containing three electron transport groups of phosphine oxide, imidazole and fluorine can provide multiple gradient transport channels for the transport of electrons, has good electron transport ability, and can effectively improve the device efficiency and stability when applied as an electron transport material in the electron transport layer of an electronic device, thereby improving the device performance and lifetime.
