Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic electroluminescence technology, specifically relating to a composition material and an organic electroluminescent device using the same. Background Technology
[0002] The core of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device is a thin-film structure containing various organic functional materials. Common functionalized organic materials include: hole injection materials, hole transport materials, hole blocking materials, electron injection materials, electron transport materials, electron blocking materials, as well as light-emitting host materials and light-emitting guest materials (dyes). When an electric current is applied, electrons and holes are injected and transported to the light-emitting region, where they recombine, thereby generating excitons and emitting light.
[0003] In recent years, industry professionals have made continuous attempts and explorations to improve the efficiency and stability of devices. Among them, the main approach is to seek new materials to improve device performance. A large number of novel materials have been developed and applied to organic electroluminescent devices. Although they have improved device performance to some extent, they still suffer from the problem of large accumulation of charge carriers at the interface and low device efficiency.

[0057] This invention proposes a compositional material for organic electroluminescent devices, comprising a compound represented by formula (I) and a compound represented by formula (II). Organic electroluminescent devices employing this type of compositional material of the present invention simultaneously utilize compound (I) and compound (II) as functional materials in the organic layer.
[0058] Through extensive experimental design and research, the applicant discovered that compounds (I) and (II) are particularly suitable for use together as light-emitting layer materials in the organic layer of a device. This is because compound (I) can regulate the injection and transport of holes within the light-emitting layer, thereby controlling the carrier recombination region in the light-emitting layer. Furthermore, compound (I) possesses a high spatial packing structure, while compound (II) exhibits high molecular planar expansion characteristics and excellent electron transport performance. Therefore, when compounds (I) and (II) are used together, the faster electron transport characteristic of compound (II) can be coordinated, effectively controlling the balance between hole and electron transport. This allows the electron-hole recombination center in the light-emitting layer to be located at the center of the light-emitting layer, thereby effectively improving the device's efficiency and lifetime. The general formula (II) compound of this invention has a lower triplet energy level T1, reducing the energy difference with the guest dye, resulting in less energy loss during energy transfer and improving exciton utilization. Compared to higher energy level electronic host materials, it has higher efficiency.
[0059] The present invention also proposes an organic electroluminescent device, which includes an anode layer, a cathode layer, and an organic layer disposed between the anode layer and the cathode layer, wherein the organic layer includes a composition material formed by a compound represented by formula (I) and a compound represented by formula (II).

The substrate is typically made of glass or polymer material with excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, water resistance, and transparency. Furthermore, thin-film transistors (TFTs) can also be incorporated into the substrate used for displays.

When the first electrode is used as the anode, it can be a transparent conductive oxide material such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin dioxide (SnO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), or any combination thereof. When the first electrode is used as the cathode, it can be a metal or alloy such as magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al-Li), calcium (Ca), ytterbium (Yb), magnesium-indium (Mg-In), magnesium-silver (Mg-Ag), or any combination thereof.
[0073] Organic material layers can be formed on electrodes using methods such as vacuum thermal evaporation, spin coating, and printing. The compounds used as organic material layers can be small organic molecules, large organic molecules, polymers, and combinations thereof.
[0074] The hole transport region is located between the anode and the emissive layer.

[0147] The method for preparing the second group of organic electroluminescent devices of the present invention is as follows:
[0148] The glass plate coated with the ITO transparent conductive layer was ultrasonically treated in a commercial cleaning agent, rinsed in deionized water, ultrasonically degreased in a acetone:ethanol mixed solvent, baked in a clean environment until all moisture was removed, cleaned with ultraviolet light and ozone, and bombarded with a low-energy cation beam.
[0149] The glass substrate with the anode was placed in a vacuum chamber and evacuated to a vacuum level of <1×10⁻⁶. -5 Pa, on the above-mentioned anodic layer film, a 10 nm HT-4:HI-3 (97 / 3, w / w) mixture was vacuum thermally deposited as a hole injection layer, a 60 nm compound HT-4 as a hole transport layer, and a 60 nm compound HT52 as an electron blocking layer.
[0150] A light-emitting layer with a thickness in the range of 10-60 nm was prepared. A mixture of compounds represented by formula (I) as the first host and compounds represented by formula (II) as the second host was used as a dual-light-emitting host material. The mixture was combined with a ternary mixture of dye RPD-10 to form the light-emitting layer. The mass percentage of compounds represented by formula (I) and formula (II) ranged from 10% to 150%, and the mass percentage of dye in the entire light-emitting layer was 5%.
[0151] The process continued by preparing a 25 nm ET-61:ET-57 (50 / 50, w / w) mixture as an electron transport layer, a 1 nm LiF layer as an electron injection layer, and a 150 nm aluminum electrode as a cathode. The total evaporation rate of all organic layers and LiF was controlled at 0.1 nm / s, and the evaporation rate of the metal electrode was controlled at 1 nm / s.
[0152] Examples 2-1 to 9-4 and Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-2 were prepared according to the preparation method of the second group of organic electroluminescent devices described above. In the examples, the light-emitting host material was composed of a compound represented by formula (I) as the first host and a compound represented by formula (II) as the second host. The specific compound numbers and their mixing ratios are detailed in Table 2.

[0158] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the mixture composed of the compound represented by formula (I) and the compound represented by formula (II) of this invention, used as a dual-emissivity host material in organic electroluminescent devices, can effectively improve the luminous efficiency and lifespan of the device. This is presumably because when the compound represented by formula (II) is used alone, the injection and transport of holes are poor, resulting in an imbalance in carrier transport. The luminescent recombination center is close to the electron blocking layer (EBL), causing poor device lifespan and low efficiency when used alone. After introducing the compound represented by formula (I) of this invention, due to its excellent hole transport capability, the carrier balance is achieved, and the luminescent recombination center is far from the EBL layer, significantly improving both lifespan and efficiency. Similarly, when the compound represented by formula (I) is used alone, the injection and transport of electrons are poor, resulting in an imbalance in carrier transport. The luminescent recombination center is close to the hole blocking layer (HBL), also causing poor device lifespan and low efficiency.
