[0002] Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays have become the mainstream in the display field due to their advantages such as thinness, light weight, wide viewing angle, active light emission, and continuously adjustable emission color. In OLED displays, organic light-emitting materials play a crucial role in their performance.
[0003] Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TEF) materials can theoretically achieve 100% exciton utilization because they can cross the reverse gap between triplet and singlet excitons. Furthermore, they do not require coordination with heavy metal ions in their molecular structure and have lower costs.

[0068] The terminology used in the following embodiments is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. As used in the specification and appended claims of this application, the singular expressions “a,” “an,” “the,” “the,” “the,” and “this” are intended to also include expressions such as “one or more,” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” is used to describe the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships may exist; for example, A and / or B can indicate: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character “ / ” generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an “or” relationship.
[0069] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" as described in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of this application include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.
[0070] To facilitate a better understanding of the technical solutions provided in this application, the application scenarios applicable to the embodiments of this application will be explained first.
[0071] Figure 1 This application provides an embodiment of an electronic device 1000. The electronic device 1000 may include, but is not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, e-readers, remote controls, personal computers (PCs), laptops, personal digital assistants (PDAs), in-vehicle devices, smart TVs, wearable devices, televisions, smartwatches, smart bracelets, and other products with a display interface. Figure 1 The illustrated embodiment uses a mobile phone as an example of an electronic device 100 for explanation.
[0072] like Figure 1As shown, the electronic device 1000 may include a housing assembly 10 and a display screen 20, wherein the display screen 20 may be located inside the housing assembly 10. The housing assembly 10 may be used to support and protect the display screen 20. The display screen 20 may be used in active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display scenarios or micro-LED display scenarios, etc., and the display screen 20 may be various self-emissive display screens, which are not limited in this application.
[0073] Figure 2 Example shown Figure 1 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of module 20.
[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, the display screen 20 may include a cover plate 100, a display module 200, and a back plate 300. The display module 200 may be located between the cover plate 100 and the back plate 300. The cover plate 300 serves to protect the display module 200, ensuring its light-emitting performance and reliability when the display module 200 is thin, and also ensuring its bending resistance to prevent breakage. The back plate 300 provides support and secures the display module 200. For example, the cover plate 100 and the display module 200, as well as the display module 200 and the back plate 300, may be bonded using an optically clear adhesive (OCA).
[0075] In addition, the display module 200 may include a substrate 210 and an organic electroluminescent device (e.g., an OLED device) 220 disposed on the substrate 210.
[0076] Optionally, the substrate 210 can be a rigid substrate or a flexible substrate, and this application does not limit it.
[0077] For example, when the substrate 210 is a rigid substrate, the material of the substrate 210 may be one or more of the following, including but not limited to glass substrates or metal foils. When the substrate 210 is a flexible substrate, the material of the substrate 210 may be one or more of the following, including but not limited to polyethylene terephthalate, polyetheretherketone, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyarylate, polyarylate, polyimide, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, or textile fibers.
[0078] The organic electroluminescent device 220 can be a current-driven light-emitting device that uses organic materials as active materials, such as organic semiconductor materials and organic light-emitting materials, which achieve light emission through carrier injection and recombination under the drive of an electric field.
[0079] Currently, commonly used organic light-emitting materials are mainly traditional fluorescent and phosphorescent materials. Among them, although fluorescent materials have the characteristics of stable properties and low cost, they are limited by the statistical law of spin quantum mechanics. Fluorescent materials can only utilize singlet excitons, which account for 25% of all excitons, while the remaining 75% of triplet excitons are deactivated through non-radiative transitions. Therefore, the maximum exciton utilization rate of fluorescent materials does not exceed 25%, resulting in low efficiency.
[0080] Phosphorescent materials can theoretically achieve 100% exciton utilization by introducing heavy metal atoms (such as iridium or platinum) and utilizing spin coupling to achieve singlet exciton transitions to triplet states. However, phosphorescent materials are primarily noble metal complexes, resulting in high production costs and hindering large-scale production. Furthermore, phosphorescent materials exhibit poor stability.
[0081] As the third generation of organic light-emitting materials following traditional fluorescent and phosphorescent materials, TADF materials can cross the reverse gap between triplet and singlet excitons, utilizing 75% triplet excitons and 25% singlet excitons, theoretically achieving a maximum exciton utilization rate of 100%. Furthermore, the molecular structure of TADF materials does not require coordination with heavy metal ions, resulting in lower costs.
[0082] For example, the molecular construction of TADF materials can involve one or more electron-donating units (D) connected by a conjugated bridge (π) and one or more electron-accepting units (A), forming a so-called twisted induced charge transfer (TICT) mechanism. The direction of this induced charge transfer is that an electron is transferred from the electron-donating unit to the electron-accepting unit through conjugation, resulting in a charge-separated excited state, thereby achieving a very small triplet-singlet energy difference (denoted as Δ in this embodiment). E ST ). Minimal △ E ST It can meet the conditions for reverse gap crossing of triplet-singlet excitons, achieving 100% exciton utilization, thus achieving the high efficiency of TADF materials.
[0083] However, in current practical applications, TADF materials constructed using the above methods still have many problems. For example, TADF materials constructed using the above methods have high efficiency and short lifetime in devices (e.g., organic electroluminescent devices 220), and high-efficiency TADF materials are still relatively scarce.
[0084] Based on the above, embodiments of this application provide an organic light-emitting compound, an organic electroluminescent device, a display screen, and an electronic device. The organic light-emitting compound uses bisfluorene as a framework and connects the main functional units at different positions of the bisfluorene, which is beneficial to obtaining superior light-emitting performance. This allows for efficient application in organic electroluminescent devices, improving the stability and efficiency of the devices and reducing the driving voltage of the devices.
[0085] The organic light-emitting compound provided in this application embodiment can be applied to the above-mentioned organic electroluminescent device 220.

The organic light-emitting compounds provided in this application can also be applied to other scenarios, such as organic solar cells, organic field-effect transistors, organic thin-film transistors, organic optical detectors, organic laser diodes, or organic sensors.

The hole blocking layer 325 can be a layer in the organic electroluminescent device 300 used to block holes from the anode at the interface of the light-emitting layer 324, thereby increasing the hole concentration at the interface of the light-emitting layer 324. Electron transport layer 326 may be a layer in the organic electroluminescent device 300 that drives electrons from the cathode to the charge junction. This layer may not need to be in contact with the cathode and often may not be an effective hole transporter, thus it can be used to block holes from moving towards the cathode. Electron injection layer 327 may be a layer in the organic electroluminescent device 300 that is in contact with the cathode and promotes electrons from the cathode into the light-emitting layer 324.

[0259] Using the organic electroluminescent devices prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 as experimental subjects, the obtained organic electroluminescent devices were tested by applying electricity, and the data results are shown in Table 1.
[0260] Table 1
[0261] In the experimental devices shown in Table 1, compound 1 provided in the embodiments of this application and comparative compound 1 provided in the comparative embodiments were used as doped light-emitting materials for the light-emitting layer, respectively. As can be seen from the data in Table 1, compared with comparative embodiments 1 to 6, the organic electroluminescent devices using the organic light-emitting compounds provided in the embodiments of this application all exhibit higher external quantum efficiency and lower driving voltage. Furthermore, the external quantum efficiency significantly exceeds the theoretical limit of 5% for the external quantum efficiency of traditional fluorescent polymers. This indicates the existence of delayed fluorescence emission, suggesting that the organic light-emitting compounds provided in the embodiments of this application possess TADF characteristics and can be used as TADF materials.
[0262] Therefore, the organic light-emitting compound provided in this application uses bisfluorene as its backbone. By connecting electron-donating and electron-accepting groups at different positions on the bisfluorene backbone, the electron-donating and electron-accepting groups can be completely separated yet sufficiently close, thereby enabling space charge transfer between them. This facilitates the organic light-emitting compound to possess TADF characteristics, achieving 100% exciton utilization, and thus obtaining an organic light-emitting compound with superior optical performance and high luminous efficiency. This organic light-emitting compound can be used as a material for the organic layer in organic electroluminescent devices, especially the light-emitting layer, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of organic electroluminescent devices, reducing the driving voltage, and mitigating the efficiency roll-off of organic electroluminescent devices.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
