Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of organic electroluminescent materials, and in particular to heterocyclic compounds and organic electroluminescent devices and electronic devices containing the same. Background Art

[0002] With the development of electronic technology and the progress of materials science, the application scope of electronic components for realizing electroluminescence or photoelectric conversion is becoming more and more extensive. Organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs) generally include: a cathode and an anode arranged opposite to each other, and a functional layer arranged between the cathode and the anode. The functional layer is composed of multiple organic or inorganic film layers, and generally includes an organic light-emitting layer, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer, etc. When voltage is applied to the anode and cathode, the two electrodes generate an electric field. Under the action of the electric field, the electrons on the cathode side move toward the electroluminescent layer, and the holes on the anode side also move toward the light-emitting layer. The 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 outward.

[0003] The main problems with existing organic electroluminescent devices are lifespan and efficiency. As displays become larger, the driving voltage also increases, and the luminous efficiency and current efficiency also need to be improved. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to develop new materials to further improve the performance of organic electroluminescent devices. Summary of the Invention
