Detailed Implementation

[0037] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings. However, this application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this application.

[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0039] In this application, the technical features described in an open-ended manner include both closed technical solutions consisting of the listed features and open technical solutions that include the listed features.

[0040] One embodiment of this application provides an ink comprising a solvent and an amine metal ion complex and metal nanoparticles dispersed in the solvent, wherein the amine metal ion complex is obtained by coordination of a polyaliphatic amine compound with a metal ion.

[0041] The ink described above is obtained by mixing amine metal ion complexes obtained by coordinating polyaliphatic amine compounds with metal ions with metal nanoparticles. The ink has good stability, suitable surface tension and suitable viscosity, and good film-forming effect.

[0042] Furthermore, the inventors discovered through research that when the ink meets the quality standards of a viscosity of 2 mPa·s to 10 mPa·s, a surface tension of 20 mN / m to 50 mN / m, and can remain stable for more than 5 days at a constant temperature of 25°C, the functional layers of the light-emitting device prepared with this ink exhibit good functional performance after film formation. Furthermore, the ink obtained by mixing amine metal ion complexes and metal nanoparticles in the above embodiment also meets the above quality standards in terms of viscosity, surface tension, and stability. Therefore, the above ink can be used to prepare the functional layers of the light-emitting device.

[0043] In one embodiment, the ink described above can be used, for example, to fabricate an electron injection layer for a light-emitting device.

[0044] In one embodiment, the ink can be used, for example, to fabricate an electron injection layer between two adjacent light-emitting layers of a light-emitting device. In a more specific embodiment, the light-emitting device is a stacked light-emitting device. The ink comprises an amine metal ion complex and metal nanoparticles. The metal ions in the amine metal ion complex can act as connectors between molecules of polyaliphatic amine compounds, causing the electron orbitals between the molecules to fuse, reducing the insulation of the polyaliphatic amine compounds, and significantly improving their conductivity, which is more conducive to electron injection. Furthermore, after the amine metal ion complex is mixed with the metal nanoparticles, the metal nanoparticles can, on the one hand, enhance the charge generation capability of the charge generation unit, and on the other hand, reduce the energy level barrier between the charge generation unit and the lower light-emitting layer, making it easier for the electrons collected by the charge generation unit to be injected into the light-emitting layer, reducing the accumulation of charge near the charge generation unit, thereby significantly reducing the driving voltage of the light-emitting device and significantly improving the device lifetime.

[0045] The inventors discovered that when inks obtained by mixing polyaliphatic amine compounds with metal nanoparticles are used to fabricate electron injection layers, the polyaliphatic amine compounds and metal nanoparticles come into contact with each other. The polyaliphatic amine compounds alter the surface potential of the metal nanoparticles, reducing the injection barrier for electrons to enter the light-emitting layer, thus facilitating electron injection. However, because polyaliphatic amine compounds are insulators, the overall electron injection performance is still not ideal. Furthermore, by coordinating polyaliphatic amine compounds with metal ions to form amine-metal ion complexes, the metal ions act as intermolecular connectors between amine molecules. The intermolecular electronic orbitals of the polyaliphatic amine compounds are fused, the insulating properties are weakened, and the conductivity is significantly enhanced, further improving the electron injection capability.

[0046] The ink described above can be used to form an electron injection layer between two adjacent light-emitting layers of a light-emitting device using a solution method. This electron injection layer can serve as an electron extraction channel for the charge generation unit, making it easier for electrons generated by the charge generation unit to be injected into the light-emitting layer. This significantly reduces the driving voltage of the light-emitting device and significantly improves its current efficiency and lifespan.

[0047] In one embodiment, the mass ratio of the amine metal ion complex to the metal nanoparticles is (3:1) to (1:5). Using a mass ratio within this specific range ensures that the electron injection layer made using this ink not only enhances the charge generation capability of the charge generation unit but also allows electrons to be injected more smoothly into the underlying light-emitting layer, resulting in a lower driving voltage, higher current efficiency, and longer lifespan for the light-emitting device. Understandably, the mass ratio of the polyaliphatic amine compound to the metal nanoparticles can be, for example, 3:1, 3:2, 3:4, 3:5, 2:1, 2:3, 2:5, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, etc., and is not limited thereto. Preferably, the mass ratio of the amine metal ion complex to the metal nanoparticles is 1:2.

[0048] In one embodiment, the polyaliphatic amine compound includes one or more of the following structures:

[0049]

[0050] Where R is H or -CH2CH2OH.

[0051] Understandably, polyaliphatic amine compounds can be polyaliphatic amine polymers or small molecule polyaliphatic amine compounds. Furthermore, polyaliphatic amine polymers may include, but are not limited to, polyvinylimide (PEI) and polyethoxyethyleneimide (PEIE), etc., and small molecule polyaliphatic amine compounds may include, but are not limited to, tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), pentaethylenehexamine, and hexamethylenetetramine, etc. Understandably, polyaliphatic amine compounds may also include, but are not limited to, one or more of polyvinylimide, polyethoxyethyleneimide, tetraethylenepentamine, pentaethylenehexamine, and hexamethylenetetramine.

[0052] In one embodiment, the metal ion coordinating with the polyaliphatic amine compound may include, but is not limited to, Ag. + Zn 2+ Mg 2+ Cu 2+ Co 2+ and Ni 2+ One or more of these compounds. The coordination bonds formed by these metal ions and polyaliphatic amine compounds are relatively stable. After the ink film is formed, the coordination bonds are not easily detached during subsequent annealing and other post-processing processes, which can ensure stable electron injection capability.

[0053] In one embodiment, the average particle size of the metal nanoparticles is <20 nm. The smaller the particle size of the metal nanoparticles, the better they are dispersed in the solvent, resulting in a more uniform electron injection layer film formed by solution deposition of the ink. This helps ensure that the stacked light-emitting device has stable and good electron injection performance.

[0054] In one embodiment, the metal nanoparticles are dispersed in the solvent without precipitation for at least 24 hours. The fact that the metal nanoparticles do not precipitate in the solvent for a relatively long period indicates that they can be sufficiently and stably dispersed in the ink without agglomeration, which is beneficial for film formation.

[0055] In one embodiment, the metal nanoparticles may include, but are not limited to, one or more of Ag, Al, Cu, and Au. These metal nanoparticles possess excellent electrical conductivity, which facilitates charge generation. When amine metal ion complexes are mixed with metal nanoparticles, the strong electrical conductivity of the metal nanoparticles enhances the charge generation capability of the charge-generating unit. Simultaneously, with the assistance of the amine metal ion complexes, electrons can be easily injected into the light-emitting layer.

[0056] In one embodiment, the solvent is a non-aqueous solvent. Further, the solvent is preferably a non-aqueous solvent with moderate volatility. These solvents can sufficiently disperse the amine metal ion complex and metal nanoparticles to form a stable and uniform ink. After the ink is deposited as a film using a solution method, it can fully evaporate and dry within a short time to form an electron injection layer without adversely affecting the performance of the light-emitting device.

[0057] Furthermore, the solvent may include, but is not limited to, one or a mixture of alcohols, ketones, and esters.

[0058] Furthermore, the solvent may include, but is not limited to, one or more of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol, n-hexanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, and methyl benzoate.

[0059] Furthermore, the solvent is preferably a non-aqueous solvent with a boiling point of 100°C to 200°C, such as, but not limited to, n-hexanol, n-pentanol, etc.

[0060] In one embodiment, the ink further includes a polyaliphatic amine compound dispersed in a solvent, wherein the mass of the polyaliphatic amine compound does not exceed 20% of the sum of the masses of the amine metal ion complex and the polyaliphatic amine compound. Understandably, the polyaliphatic amine compound can coordinate with metal ions to form stable coordination bonds, effectively weakening the insulating properties of amine molecules, improving their conductivity, and facilitating electron injection. Furthermore, metal nanoparticles also possess a certain ability to coordinate with polyaliphatic amine compounds. Therefore, the ink also includes a small amount of uncoordinated polyaliphatic amine compounds to bind with metal nanoparticles, thereby enhancing the ink's stability. Understandably, the uncoordinated polyaliphatic amine compounds in the ink can only be in small amounts; the ink composition still primarily consists of amine metal ion complexes to ensure that the insulating properties of the amine substances are weakened, thereby enhancing electron injection capability. Understandably, the polyaliphatic amine compounds in the ink can be added separately or are polyaliphatic amine compounds that did not undergo coordination reactions during the preparation of the amine metal ion complex.

[0061] The aforementioned ink can form an electron injection layer between two adjacent light-emitting layers in a light-emitting device using a solution method. The electron injection layer includes amine metal ion complexes and metal nanoparticles. The metal ions in the amine metal ion complexes can act as connectors between molecules of polyaliphatic amine compounds, causing the electron orbitals between the molecules to fuse, reducing the insulation of the polyaliphatic amine compounds, and significantly improving their conductivity, which is more conducive to electron injection. Furthermore, after the amine metal ion complexes are mixed with the metal nanoparticles, the metal nanoparticles can enhance the charge generation capability of the charge generation unit on the one hand, and reduce the energy level barrier between the unit and the lower light-emitting layer on the other hand, making it easier for the collected electrons to be injected into the light-emitting layer, reducing the accumulation of charge near the charge generation unit, thereby significantly reducing the driving voltage of the light-emitting device and significantly improving the device lifespan.

[0062] Understandably, the aforementioned ink can also be used to fabricate electron injection layers at other locations in light-emitting devices. Understandably, the aforementioned ink can also be used to fabricate other functional layers in light-emitting devices, not limited to electron injection layers. Understandably, the aforementioned ink is not limited to the fabrication of light-emitting devices and can also be used for other purposes.

[0063] An embodiment of this application also provides a method for preparing ink, comprising the following steps:

[0064] Polyaliphatic amine compounds are mixed with salt compounds containing metal ions to undergo a coordination reaction to generate amine metal ion complexes.

[0065] Amine metal ion complexes and metal nanoparticles are mixed in a solvent.

[0066] In one embodiment, the mass ratio of the polyaliphatic amine compound to the salt compound containing metal ions is 1:(10-100). Within this mass range, the polyaliphatic amine compound can coordinate with the metal ions to form amine-metal ion complexes, which is beneficial for improving electron injection capability.

[0067] In one embodiment, the salt compound may be, for example, an acetate, and it is understood that other salt compounds may also be used, not limited thereto, as long as the metal ions in the salt compound can readily undergo a coordination reaction with the polyaliphatic amine compound.

[0068] In one embodiment, the coordination reaction takes 2 to 5 hours. Furthermore, when the coordination reaction is complete, the liquid in the reaction system is clear.

[0069] In one embodiment, the coordination reaction can be carried out at room temperature.

[0070] In one embodiment, the mass ratio of the amine metal ion complex to the metal nanoparticles is (3:1) to (1:5). Preferably, the mass ratio of the amine metal ion complex to the metal nanoparticles is 1:2.

[0071] In one embodiment, the polyaliphatic amine compound includes one or more of the following structures:

[0072]

[0073] Where R is H or -CH2CH2OH.

[0074] Furthermore, polyaliphatic amine compounds may include, but are not limited to, one or more of polyvinylimide, polyethoxyethyleneimide, tetraethylenepentamine, pentaethylenehexamine, and hexamethylenetetramine.

[0075] In one embodiment, the metal ions may include, but are not limited to, Ag. + Zn 2+ Mg 2+ Cu 2+ Co 2+ and Ni 2+ One or more of them.

[0076] In one embodiment, the average particle size of the metal nanoparticles is <20 nm.

[0077] In one embodiment, the metal nanoparticles may include, but are not limited to, one or more of Ag, Al, Cu and Au.

[0078] In one embodiment, the solvent may include, but is not limited to, one or more of alcohols, ketones, and esters.

[0079] Furthermore, the solvent may include, but is not limited to, one or more of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol, n-hexanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, and methyl benzoate.

[0080] In one embodiment, the ink further includes a polyaliphatic amine compound dispersed in a solvent, wherein the mass of the polyaliphatic amine compound does not exceed 20% of the sum of the mass of the amine metal ion complex and the polyaliphatic amine compound.

[0081] Understandably, metal nanoparticles can be obtained commercially or through various self-made methods, and there are no particular restrictions on the specific methods of acquisition.

[0082] In one embodiment, a method for preparing metal nanoparticles is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0083] An alcohol solution containing phenylhydrazine is mixed with metal ions and a stabilizer, and the mixture is heated until the color becomes constant.

[0084] An embodiment of this application also provides a light-emitting device, including multiple light-emitting layers. At least two adjacent light-emitting layers are provided with an electron injection layer, an electron collection layer and a hole transport layer. The electron collection layer is located between the electron injection layer and the hole transport layer. The electron injection layer is prepared by solution method using ink from any of the above embodiments or ink prepared by the preparation method of ink from any of the above embodiments.

[0085] The aforementioned light-emitting device has a simple structure and can be fabricated using a solution-based process, which does not damage the properties of other pre-fabricated functional layers, thus ensuring the stability of the device's performance. Furthermore, the electron collection layer and hole transport layer constitute the charge generation unit of the light-emitting device. The electron injection layer enhances charge generation and lowers the energy level barrier between the charge generation unit and the light-emitting layer, allowing electrons generated by the charge generation unit to be easily injected into the lower light-emitting layer. This significantly reduces the driving voltage of the light-emitting device and improves current efficiency and lifetime.

[0086] Understandably, the electron flow direction in this application is the conventional flow direction from cathode to anode, and the injection of electrons from the charge generation unit into the light-emitting layer in this application is also carried out in the direction of electron flow. Understandably, the lower light-emitting layer mentioned in this application refers to the next light-emitting layer that electrons in the light-emitting device will flow through after passing through the charge generation unit.

[0087] In one embodiment, the light-emitting device is a stacked light-emitting device.

[0088] In one embodiment, in the two adjacent light-emitting layers described above, the light-emitting layer connected to the electron injection layer is closer to the anode, and the light-emitting layer connected to the hole transport layer is closer to the cathode.

[0089] In one embodiment, the solution method may include, but is not limited to, spin coating, printing, etc.

[0090] In one embodiment, when preparing the electron injection layer using ink via solution deposition, the film can be deposited in an inert gas atmosphere. Understandably, the inert gas can be, but is not limited to, nitrogen, argon, etc. Deposition in an inert gas atmosphere prevents water and oxygen in the air from damaging the fabricated film and also prevents the metal nanoparticles in the ink from being oxidized during film deposition, thus avoiding adverse effects on the performance of the light-emitting device.

[0091] Understandably, the number of light-emitting layers can be two, three, four, or more. At least two adjacent light-emitting layers form a charge-generating unit by providing an electron-collecting layer and a hole-transporting layer, and an electron-injection layer is also provided to assist in injecting the electrons generated by the charge-generating unit into the lower light-emitting layer. Understandably, if the number of light-emitting layers exceeds two, an electron-injection layer, an electron-collecting layer, and a hole-transporting layer can be provided between each adjacent light-emitting layer, or only between some of the adjacent light-emitting layers.

[0092] In one embodiment, the light-emitting material of the light-emitting layer includes quantum dot light-emitting materials or organic light-emitting materials.

[0093] In one embodiment, the quantum dot luminescent material may include, but is not limited to, one or more of group II-VI compound semiconductors, group III-V compound semiconductors, group I-III-VI compound semiconductors, and perovskite quantum dots.

[0094] Optionally, the II-VI compound semiconductor may include, but is not limited to, one or more of ZnCdSeS, CdSe / CdS, CdSeS / CdS, CdSe / CdS / ZnS, ZnCdSeS / ZnS, and ZnCdS / ZnS.

[0095] Alternatively, III-V compound semiconductors may include, but are not limited to, one or more of InP and InP / ZnS.

[0096] Optionally, the I-III-VI group compound semiconductors may include, but are not limited to, one or more of CuInS, AgInS, CuInS / ZnS, and AnInS / ZnS.

[0097] Optionally, perovskite quantum dots may include, but are not limited to, CsPbM3, where M is Cl, Br, or I.

[0098] In one embodiment, the organic light-emitting material may include, but is not limited to, one or more of fluorescent materials, phosphorescent materials, and thermally activated delayed fluorescent materials.

[0099] Alternatively, the fluorescent material may include, but is not limited to, one or more of TPBe, TTPA, TBRb and DBP.

[0100] Alternatively, the phosphorescent material may include, but is not limited to, one or more of Firpic, Ir(ppy)3, Ir(ppy)2acac and Ir(piq)3.

[0101] Optionally, the thermally activated delayed fluorescence material may include, but is not limited to, one or more of ACRSA, DIC-TRZ, 2CzPN, PXZ-TRZ, and pCNBCzoCF3.

[0102] In one embodiment, the charge generation unit may be, but is not limited to, a bulk heterojunction or bilayer film composed of a strong electron acceptor (deep LUMO) and a strong electron donor (deep HOMO) material. The charge generation mechanism involves the transfer of electrons from the HOMO level of the electron donor material to the LUMO level of the electron acceptor material, and the HOMO level of the electron donor and the LUMO level of the electron acceptor are located close to each other. In any embodiment of this application, the electron collection layer is the electron acceptor layer. Further, the material of the electron collection layer used in solution processing may include, but is not limited to, one or more of PMA, MoO3, WO3, V2O5, ReO3, MnO3, CuI, NDP-9, HATCN, PEDOT:PSS, and FeCl3.

[0103] In one embodiment, the hole transport layer may be made of conventional materials in the art, such as, but not limited to, one or more of TFB, PVK, Poly-TPD, PFB, NPB, TAPC, TCTA, mCP, CBP, mCBP, CDBP, CuSCN, and NiO.

[0104] In one embodiment, the thickness of the electron injection layer is 10 nm to 30 nm. A thickness within this range ensures good electron injection capability without affecting other device performance characteristics.

[0105] The charge generation unit between two adjacent light-emitting layers consists of an electron collection layer and hole transport. Although this charge generation unit has a certain charge generation capability, without the electron injection layer made of ink as described in any of the above embodiments, the potential barrier for the electrons collected by the charge generation unit to be injected into the light-emitting layer is large. Electrons are difficult to inject into the lower light-emitting layer, which easily leads to charge accumulation near the electron collection layer. This will have a significant adverse impact on the driving voltage, current efficiency, and device lifetime of the stacked light-emitting device. When an electron injection layer made of ink as described in any of the above embodiments is provided between the electron collection layer and the lower light-emitting layer, electron injection is smoother, the driving voltage of the light-emitting device is significantly reduced, and the current efficiency and device lifetime are significantly improved.

[0106] One embodiment of this application also provides a display device, including the light-emitting device as described in any of the above embodiments. It will be understood that the display device may include, for example, a display screen for a mobile phone, computer, television, etc.

[0107] The ink, its preparation method, light-emitting device, and display device described herein are further explained in detail below through specific embodiments and comparative examples. The light-emitting device structures prepared in each embodiment are relatively specific. It is understood that in other embodiments, the invention is not limited to these. For example, the injection layer and transport layer between the light-emitting layer and the corresponding electrode layer may be absent, or only one of them may be present; an electron transport layer may also be provided between the light-emitting layer and the electron injection layer made using the ink in any embodiment of this invention; the light-emitting device may be a multilayer light-emitting device, or other light-emitting devices containing multiple light-emitting layers; the number of light-emitting layers is not limited to two layers, but may be three or more layers; the material selection and thickness setting of each layer may also be determined according to the specific product; the light-emitting device may be an upright device or an inverted device, and the corresponding anode may be disposed close to the substrate, or the cathode may be disposed close to the substrate.
