Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic optoelectronic materials technology, specifically to an aromatic amine compound and its organic electroluminescent device. Background Technology

[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have the characteristics of being thin and light, having a wide viewing angle, fast response speed, wide operating temperature range, low energy consumption, high efficiency, good color purity, high definition, and good flexibility. They have been widely used in the fields of lighting and display and are considered by the industry to be one of the most promising display and lighting technologies.

[0003] Classic OLED devices have a "sandwich" structure, with an emissive layer sandwiched between two electrodes: a cathode and an anode. This emissive layer contains a luminescent material (guest material). When a specific operating voltage is applied between the two electrodes, holes and electrons are injected from the anode and cathode respectively, reaching the emissive layer. There, they recombine to generate excitons, releasing energy. Under the influence of an electric field, the excitons migrate, transferring energy to the luminescent material. Electrons in the luminescent material molecules transition from the ground state to an excited state. Since the excited state is unstable, the electrons then migrate back to the ground state, releasing energy as light, thus producing the luminescence phenomenon. To improve device performance, additional organic functional layers are placed between the anode and the emissive layer, and between the cathode and the emissive layer. Generally, the region between the anode and the emissive layer is the hole transport region, primarily responsible for injecting and transporting holes, including hole injection layers, hole transport layers, luminescent auxiliary layers, and electron blocking layers. The region between the cathode and the emissive layer is the electron transport region, primarily responsible for injecting and transporting electrons, including electron injection layers, electron transport layers, and hole blocking layers.

[0004] In addition to setting an organic functional layer between the anode and cathode, a capping layer is also set on the outside of the light-emitting electrode (away from the non-light-emitting electrode). Generally, the capping layer has a high refractive index, which can improve the light transmittance of the device, change the light emission direction, and thus improve the luminous efficiency and color purity of the device.

[0005] To further improve the performance of OLED devices, such as luminous efficiency, color purity, and lifespan, it is necessary to develop high-performance hole transport materials, electron transport materials, and capping materials. Summary of the Invention
