Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of organic materials technology, and in particular relates to an organic compound and electronic components and devices containing the same. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of electronic technology and the advancement of materials science, electronic components used to achieve electroluminescence or photoelectric conversion are finding increasingly wider applications. These electronic components typically include a cathode and an anode positioned opposite each other, and a functional layer disposed between the cathode and anode. This functional layer consists of multiple organic or inorganic film layers and generally includes an energy conversion layer, a hole transport layer located between the energy conversion layer and the anode, and an electron transport layer located between the energy conversion layer and the cathode.

[0003] For example, when the electronic component is an organic electroluminescent device, it generally includes an anode, a hole transport layer, an electroluminescent layer as an energy conversion layer, an electron transport layer, and a cathode stacked sequentially. When a voltage is applied to the anode and cathode, an electric field is generated between the two electrodes. Under the influence of the electric field, electrons on the cathode side move towards the electroluminescent layer, and holes on the anode side also move towards the electroluminescent layer. Electrons and holes combine in the electroluminescent layer to form excitons. The excitons are in an excited state and release energy outward, thereby causing the electroluminescent layer to emit light.

[0004] Typically, electron transport materials have poor stability and low transport efficiency. When used in organic electroluminescent devices, they cannot truly balance hole-electron transport, resulting in reduced device luminous efficiency and shortened lifespan.

[0005] Currently, although a large number of high-performance organic electroluminescent materials have been developed, it is still necessary to continue to develop new materials to further improve the performance of electronic components. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide an organic compound and electronic components and devices containing the same, wherein the organic compound can improve the performance of electronic components and devices, such as improving device efficiency and lifespan.
