Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic electroluminescent materials, in particular to an organic compound containing nitrogen and an electroluminescent application thereof. Background Art

[0002] According to the luminescence mechanism, there are four main types of materials that can be used for OLED light-emitting layers:

[0003] Fluorescent materials, phosphorescent materials, triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) materials, and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials.

[0004] Among them, the theoretical maximum internal quantum yield of fluorescent materials and TTA materials is low, and the cost of phosphorescent materials is high. Currently, TADF materials are more widely used. The luminescence mechanism of TADF materials is that when the energy level difference between the singlet excited state and the triplet excited state is small, reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) occurs inside the molecule, and the T1 state excitons are upconverted to the S1 state by absorbing environmental heat. 75% of triplet excitons and 25% of singlet excitons can be utilized at the same time, and the theoretical maximum internal quantum yield can reach 100%. TADF materials are mainly organic compounds, do not require rare metal elements, have low production costs, and can be chemically modified by a variety of methods. However, there are relatively few TADF materials that have been discovered so far. It is necessary to develop low-cost TADF materials with high theoretical maximum internal quantum yields to further improve the overall performance of OLED display devices. Therefore, new TADF materials that can be used in OLED devices are urgently needed to be developed. Summary of the Invention

[0060]

[0061] The N-containing organic compound having a structure as shown in Formula I provided by the present invention is illustratively prepared by the following synthetic route:

[0062]

[0063] The present invention uses a benzene unit as a linker to connect the electron-donating group D and the electron-accepting group A, which can reduce the spatial separation of the HOMO and LUMO of the molecule, achieve a higher oscillator strength, and thus achieve a high PLQY. In addition, the benzene group has excellent optical and electrical properties. The compound according to the present invention reduces the overlap of the HOMO and LUMO by introducing an electron-donating unit D and an electron-accepting unit A as well as a building block with greater steric hindrance. Since ΔEst is positively correlated with the overlap of the HOMO and LUMO, the energy level difference ΔEst between the S1 state and the T1 state of the compound according to the present invention is small. Under certain temperature conditions, the T1 state exciton can realize the process of T1→S1 by reverse intersystem crossing (RISC), and then radiatively decay from the S1 state to the ground state S0, which can be used as a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) material.

[0064] In organic electroluminescent devices, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials as dopant materials can achieve the joint participation of S1 and T1 excitons in fluorescence emission without introducing precious metals or rare earth metals. The theoretical IQE value can reach 100%, which is comparable to phosphorescent OLEDs. TADF materials are pure organic materials and have greater advantages in synthesis costs than phosphorescent OLEDs. TADF materials are composed of pure organic compounds and have better thermal stability, chemical stability and device operating stability. TADF materials are organic compounds with more chemical modifiability and can be used to synthesize a variety of target molecules according to needs.

[0065] In organic electroluminescent devices, achieving balanced carrier transport and mitigating efficiency roll-off requires a host material with excellent bipolar transport properties. TADF materials, due to their excellent bipolar transport properties, are well-suited as host materials for phosphorescent or fluorescent materials.

[0066] Based on this, the N-containing organic compound provided by the present invention has the property of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and can be applied to light-emitting layer materials, specifically to light-emitting materials, host materials or guest materials of the light-emitting layer of organic electroluminescent devices.

Optionally, the organic light-emitting device includes a substrate, an ITO anode, a first hole transport layer, a second hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a light-emitting layer, a first electron transport layer, a second electron transport layer, a cathode (magnesium-silver electrode, magnesium-silver mass ratio of 1:9) and a capping layer (CPL).

[0072] Optionally, the organic photoelectric device, such as the organic thin film layer in the organic light-emitting device, has at least one light-emitting layer (EML) and may further include other functional layers, including a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron blocking layer (EBL), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL).

[0162] As shown in Table 1, compared with the doping materials Ir(MDQ)2(acac) and REF2, the organic light-emitting devices prepared based on the doping materials of the present invention show excellent characteristics in terms of driving voltage, luminous efficiency and lifespan. In particular, good performance is shown in terms of efficiency. This is mainly due to the fact that the TADF material of the present invention can reduce the degree of spatial separation of the HOMO and LUMO of the molecule by using a benzene ring as a connecting unit of the electron-donating group D and the electron-accepting group A, thereby achieving a higher oscillator strength, and then achieving a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), and achieving a higher device efficiency. By selecting and optimizing the X and Y units (such as selecting spiro rings, ortho-linking groups, etc.), the compound has suitable spatial distortion, improving the triplet energy level of the material, promoting effective energy transfer from the host material to the guest material, reducing energy backtransmission, and improving the luminous efficiency of the device. In addition, the enhanced stereoscopic nature of the molecular structure can also reduce the molecular force and reduce intermolecular stacking, which is conducive to reducing concentration quenching.

[0171] As can be seen from Table 2, devices using the compounds of the present invention as the main material and Ir(ppy)3 as the dopant material have a certain degree of improvement in driving voltage, luminous efficiency, and lifespan. This is because the materials of the present invention have the bipolar characteristic of simultaneously transmitting holes and electrons. Such compounds are beneficial to the charge transfer balance in the light-emitting layer, can expand the area where holes and electrons recombine into excitons, dilute the exciton concentration per unit volume, prevent triplet excitons from concentration annihilation or triplet-triplet exciton annihilation caused by high concentrations, and improve device efficiency. In addition, the series of TADF materials of the present invention have high thermal stability and morphological stability, excellent film-forming properties, and are not easy to crystallize as light-emitting layer materials, which is beneficial to improving the performance and luminous efficiency of OLED devices.
