Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of light-emitting diodes, and more particularly to functional layer materials for light-emitting diodes. Background Technology

[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) are cutting-edge technologies in the display field. Both are electroluminescent devices, and their light-emitting principle involves the recombination of electrons and holes in the light-emitting layer, resulting in similar structures. Both types of LEDs can have their cathode and anode as the light-emitting side. The cathode is typically made of metals such as aluminum, magnesium, silver, or ytterbium, or their alloys, and has a high refractive index, significantly different from that of air. This results in a relatively small critical angle when light propagates from the cathode into the air, making total internal reflection more likely.

[0003] To increase the light extraction efficiency of top-emitting electroluminescent devices, a high-refractive-index layer is typically formed by adding a layer of material with a higher refractive index on a semi-transparent cathode to reduce total internal reflection. In recent years, researchers have proposed adding a low-refractive-index layer on top of the high-refractive-index layer to further improve light utilization. However, most existing low-refractive-index molecules are inorganic or polymeric materials, such as SiO2, SiON, and LiF, with refractive indices mostly between 1.3 and 1.6 for 460nm light. Inorganic materials have poor flexibility, which can lead to a shorter screen lifespan when the flexible screen is bent. While there are existing technologies using polymers to create low-refractive-index layers, polymers cannot be vapor-deposited and must be prepared from solutions, affecting subsequent packaging processes. Summary of the Invention

[0039] The low refractive index molecule provided in this application has a molecular formula that conforms to one of formulas (I), (II), or (III), wherein formulas (I), (II), and (III) all have an adamantane structure, i.e. The adamantane structure consists of multiple alkyl groups linked together to form a complex spatial structure. On one hand, the electronic configurations of all carbon atoms in the adamantane structure are similar to those of methane carbon atoms, with the outermost electrons evenly distributed outside the nucleus and the carbon-carbon bond angles close to 109°28′. This makes the adamantane structure very stable, meaning the core structure of the low-refractive-index molecule described in this application is highly stable, and therefore it is not easily decomposed during vapor deposition.

The adamantane structure consists of multiple saturated carbon atoms linked by carbon chains, with even the shortest chain containing three carbon atoms. This makes it difficult for the polarities of the groups on both sides of the adamantane structure to interfere with each other, thus contributing to the low polarity of the low-refractive-index molecule.

Finally, the low-refractive-index molecule is a small organic molecule, easily prepared into thin films via vapor deposition. The low-refractive-index molecules are bonded together by weak van der Waals forces in the formed film, giving it flexibility. Therefore, this application solves the problems of poor flexibility and inability to vapor deposit low-refractive-index materials in electroluminescent devices. Attached Figure Description

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] Unless otherwise specified, the terminology used herein should be understood as having the meaning as commonly used in the art. Therefore, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. In case of any conflict, this specification shall prevail.

[0045] Unless otherwise specified, all raw materials, reagents, instruments and equipment used in this application can be purchased from the market or prepared by existing methods.

[0046] Existing electroluminescent devices suffer from technical problems such as poor flexibility of low-refractive-index materials and the inability to vapor deposit them.

[0047] The technical solution provided in this application is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, and the general idea is as follows:

[0048] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a low-refractive-index molecule, wherein the low-refractive-index molecule is one of the molecules represented by formula (I), formula (II), or formula (III):

[0049]

[0050] R1 and R2 are substituents.

[0051] When organic small molecules form a transparent thin film, the polarity of the organic small molecules and the refractive index of the film show a certain positive correlation.

[0052] The low-refractive-index molecule described in this application has a molecular formula that conforms to one of formulas (I), (II), or (III), wherein formulas (I), (II), and (III) all have an adamantane structure, i.e. The adamantane structure consists of multiple alkyl groups linked together to form a complex spatial structure. On one hand, the electronic configurations of all carbon atoms in the adamantane structure are similar to those of methane carbon atoms, with the outermost electrons evenly distributed outside the nucleus and the carbon-carbon bond angles close to 109°28′. This makes the adamantane structure very stable, meaning the core structure of the low-refractive-index molecule described in this application is highly stable, and therefore it is not easily decomposed during vapor deposition. On the other hand, adamantane has multiple alkyl groups. From formulas (I), (II), and (III), it can be seen that the groups connected to both sides of the adamantane structure are linked by the... The adamantane structure consists of multiple saturated carbon atoms linked by carbon chains, with even the shortest chain containing three carbon atoms. This makes it difficult for the polarities of the groups on both sides of the adamantane structure to interfere with each other, thus contributing to the low polarity of the low-refractive-index molecule. Furthermore, the complex spatial structure of adamantane results in a relatively large volume for the low-refractive-index molecule, making it easier for materials formed from this molecule to possess a low optical refractive index. Finally, the low-refractive-index molecule is a small organic molecule, easily prepared into thin films via vapor deposition. The low-refractive-index molecules are bonded together by weak van der Waals forces in the formed film, giving it flexibility. Therefore, this application solves the problems of poor flexibility and inability to vapor deposit low-refractive-index materials in electroluminescent devices.

[0053] In this application, the R1 or R2 group is connected to the adamantane structure via an ester group, an oxygen atom, or a peptide bond. These three structural uses also help to reduce the overall polarity of the low-refractive-index molecule.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, R1 and R2 are each independently selected from one of halogen, nitro, nitrile, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy, substituted or unsubstituted thioether, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, R1 and R2 are each independently selected from one of the groups represented by formula (Ⅳ) or formula (Ⅴ):

[0056]

[0057] Ar1, Ar2, and Ar3 are substituents.

[0058] It should be noted that in this application The symbol refers to the connection point, that is, R1 and R2 are connected through the... The symbol is located at a point that is connected to an O atom or a carbonyl group in formula (I), formula (II), or formula (III).

[0059] The beneficial effect of setting benzene rings in R1 and R2 is to increase the stability of the ground refractive index molecule.

[0060] The beneficial effect of Ar1, Ar2, and Ar3 being attached to the benzene ring via phosphoxy or silyl groups is that the transfer of polarity by the phosphoxy or silyl groups is also very weak, which can keep the R1 and R2 groups low in polarity.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, Ar1 to Ar3 are each independently selected from one of the following: halogen, nitro, nitrile, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy, substituted or unsubstituted thioether, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, Ar1 to Ar3 are each independently selected from one of the groups represented by free formula (VI):

[0063]

[0065] Ar4 appears each time as one of the following: a hydrogen atom, a deuterium atom, a non-linked group, a linked group, or a direct bond.

[0066] n is an integer in the interval [1, 6].

[0067] The meaning of 'n' is the substitution number. This is easy to understand. There are a maximum of 6 substitution sites on the unit. Each X may be connected to a substituent, so a maximum of 6 Ar1s can be connected. That is, n is an integer in the interval [1, 6], which represents the number of Ar1 substitutions.

[0068] Easy to understand The unit interacts with the non-refractive index molecules via Ar1. Partial connection of units, in which case Ar1 is a linking group, or a direct bond.

[0069] It is readily understood that in this application, the linking group refers to a group having two unbonded electrons, such as -CH2-. The non-linking group refers to a group having one unbonded electron, such as -CH3.

[0070] Formula (VI) may contain only one aromatic ring and no other aromatic structures, that is, it may contain only one aromatic ring. This unit has an aromatic structure. In this case, the starting materials related to formula (IX) are easier to obtain in the synthesis of low refractive index molecules, and the difficulty of the corresponding synthetic steps is also reduced.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, Ar4 is, each time it appears, one of the following: hydrogen atom, deuterium atom, direct bond, halogen, nitro group, nitrile group, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, substituted or unsubstituted thioether group, substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, Ar4 is, each time it appears, one of hydrogen atom, deuterium atom, direct bond, or alkyl group.

[0244] Comparative Example 1

[0245] This comparative example provides a light-emitting device, which differs from the light-emitting device described in Example 1 only in that:

[0246] The material of the low refractive index layer 12 is LiF.

[0247] Relevant experimental and effect data:

[0248] Compounds numbered 1 to 21 were prepared into thin films, and their refractive indices for 450 nm light were tested. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0249] serial number Refractive index serial number Refractive index 1 1.543 2 1.539 3 1.539 4 1.538 5 1.536 6 1.535 7 1.531 8 1.525 9 1.528 10 1.525 11 1.573 12 1.579 13 1.586 14 1.706 15 1.712 16 1.721 17 1.530 18 1.531 19 1.533 20 1.546 21 1.543

[0250] Table 1

[0251] As can be easily seen from Table 1, compounds numbered 1 to 21 all exhibit low refractive indices.

[0252] The external quantum efficiency (EQE) and lifetime of the light-emitting devices in Examples 1, 2, 3, 20, and 23 were tested, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0253]

[0254]

[0255] Table 2

[0256] LT95@1000nit refers to the time required for the device to decay to 950nit brightness from an initial brightness of 1000nit. All lifetime measurements were taken after 21 days of storage.

[0257] As can be easily seen from Table 2, the EQE of Examples 1, 2, 3, 20, and 23 is generally higher than that of the comparative examples. The increase in EQE implies an increase in light extraction efficiency. The only difference between Examples 1, 2, 3, 20, and 23 and the comparative examples is the different low-refractive-index layers. This indicates that the increase in EQE of Examples 1, 2, 3, 20, and 23 is due to the use of different materials to prepare the low-refractive-index layers. Since the refractive indices of compounds numbered 1 to 12 are all similar, it is reasonable to believe that compounds numbered 1 to 12 are more conducive to improving EQE than existing LiF as materials for the low-refractive-index layers.

[0258] The lifetimes of Examples 1, 2, 3, 20, and 23 are generally higher than those of the comparative examples. This may be because, under the same initial brightness of 1000 nits, the different light extraction efficiencies lead to different loss efficiencies of the light-emitting layer material.
