Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of organic electroluminescence, in particular to an organic light-emitting material, and particularly to an iridium complex and the application thereof in an organic electroluminescence device. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the organic electroluminescence device (OLED) as a new generation of display technology has obtained more and more attention in the aspects of display and lighting technology, and has a very wide application prospect. However, compared with the market application requirements, the performance of the OLED device such as the luminous efficiency, the driving voltage and the service life still needs to be continuously strengthened and improved.

[0003] Generally, the basic structure of the OLED device is a sandwich structure with various different functional organic functional material films sandwiched in the middle of the metal electrode, and under the driving of the current, the holes and the electrons are injected from the cathode and the anode respectively, and the holes and the electrons are combined in the light-emitting layer after moving a distance, and are released in the form of light or heat, thereby generating the light emission of the OLED. However, the organic functional material is the core component of the organic electroluminescence device, and the thermal stability, the photochemical stability, the electrochemical stability, the quantum yield, the film-forming stability, the crystallinity and the color saturation of the material are all the main factors affecting the performance of the device.

[0004] Generally, the organic functional material includes a fluorescent material and a phosphorescent material. The fluorescent material is usually an organic small molecule material, and generally can only utilize 25% singlet state light emission, so the luminous efficiency is relatively low. The phosphorescent material can utilize the energy of 75% triplet state excitons in addition to 25% singlet state due to the spin-orbital coupling caused by the heavy atom effect, so the luminous efficiency can be improved. However, compared with the fluorescent material, the phosphorescent material started relatively late, and the thermal stability, the service life and the color saturation of the material still need to be improved, which is a challenging topic. Various compounds have been developed as phosphorescent materials. For example, the patent document CN107973823 discloses a class of iridium compounds of quinoline, but the color saturation and the device performance of the compound, especially the luminous efficiency and the device service life, still need to be improved; the patent document CN106459114 discloses a class of iridium compounds coordinated by a beta-diketone ligand, but the sublimation temperature of the compound is high, the color saturation is not good, and in particular, the device performance, especially the luminous efficiency and the device service life, is not ideal, and needs to be further improved; and the patent document CN111377969 discloses a class of iridium complexes of dibenzofuran bisisoquinoline However, the device performance of the two types of materials, especially the color saturation, cannot meet the display color gamut requirements of BT2020, and needs to be further improved to meet the market demand for OLED light-emitting materials; patent document CN108290914A discloses the structure of quinoline and benzopentaheterocyclic ring As a red light-emitting material, the device color index of this type of material cannot meet the wide color gamut requirement, and the connection and combination mode of the present application disclosed and taught by the patent cannot improve the device performance and emission wavelength; patent document CN111848689A discloses the structure of isoquinoline and benzofuran As a red light-emitting material, the device color index of this type of material cannot meet the wide color gamut requirement, and the connection and combination mode of the present application disclosed and taught by the patent cannot improve the device performance and emission wavelength; patent document CN111848689A discloses the structure of isoquinoline and benzofuran SUMMARY
