Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and particularly to a boron-containing organic compound and an organic electroluminescent device prepared therefrom. Background Art
[0002] Traditional fluorescent doping materials are limited by early technologies and can only utilize 25% of the singlet excitons formed by electrical excitation for luminescence. The internal quantum efficiency of the device is relatively low (up to 25%), and the external quantum efficiency is generally lower than 5%, showing a significant gap compared with the efficiency of phosphorescent devices. Phosphorescent materials, due to the strong spin-orbit coupling of heavy atom centers that enhances intersystem crossing, can effectively utilize both singlet excitons and triplet excitons formed by electrical excitation for luminescence, enabling the internal quantum efficiency of the device to reach 100%. However, most phosphorescent materials are expensive, with poor material stability, poor color purity, and serious efficiency roll-off of the device, which limit their application in OLEDs.
[0003] With the advent of the 5G era, higher requirements are put forward for the color rendering standard. In addition to being efficient and stable, the luminescent material also requires a narrower full width at half maximum to improve the color purity of the device luminescence. Fluorescent doping materials can achieve high fluorescence quantum and narrow full width at half maximum through molecular engineering. Breakthroughs have been achieved in blue fluorescent doping materials, and the full width at half maximum of boron-based materials can be reduced to below 30 nm. In the green light region, to which the human eye is more sensitive, research mainly focuses on phosphorescent doping materials, but it is difficult to narrow their emission peak shape through simple methods. Therefore, to meet higher color rendering standards, it is of great significance to study highly efficient green fluorescent doping materials with a narrow full width at half maximum.
[0004] In addition, the sensitization technology combines a triplet exciton sensitizing material with a fluorescent doping material. Using the triplet exciton sensitizing material as an exciton sensitizing medium, it fully utilizes triplet excitons and transfers the energy to the fluorescent doping material through energy transfer, and can also achieve a 100% internal quantum efficiency of the device. This technology can make up for the deficiency of the exciton utilization rate of fluorescent doping materials and effectively exert the characteristics of high fluorescence quantum yield, high device stability, high color purity, and low cost of fluorescent doping materials, showing broad prospects in the application of OLEDs.
[0005] Boron-based compounds with resonance structures are more likely to achieve narrow full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) luminescence. When applied to sensitization technologies, such materials can be used to fabricate devices with high efficiency and narrow FWHM emission. For example, in CN 107507921 A and CN 110492006 A, a luminescent layer combination technology is disclosed, which uses a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) material with a singlet-triplet energy gap less than or equal to 0.2 eV as the host and a boron-based material as the dopant; in CN 110492005 A and CN 110492009 A, a luminescent layer combination scheme is disclosed, which uses an exciplex as the host and a boron-based material as the dopant. Both can achieve efficiency comparable to phosphorescence and a relatively narrow FWHM. Therefore, developing sensitization technologies based on narrow FWHM boron-based luminescent materials has unique advantages and strong potential in meeting the BT.2020 display standards.

[0070] As the substrate of the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention, any substrate commonly used in organic electroluminescent devices can be used. Examples are transparent substrates such as glass or transparent plastic substrates; opaque substrates such as silicon substrates. Different substrates have different mechanical strengths, thermal stabilities, transparencies, surface smoothness, and water resistances. Depending on the nature of the substrate, its usage directions are different. In the present invention, a transparent PI film substrate is preferably used. The thickness of the substrate is not particularly limited.
[0071] A first electrode is formed on the substrate, and the first electrode and the second electrode can face each other. The first electrode can be an anode. The first electrode can be a transmissive electrode, a semi-transmissive electrode, or a reflective electrode. When the first electrode is a transmissive electrode, it can be formed using a transparent metal oxide, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), zinc oxide (ZnO), or indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO), etc. When the first electrode is a semi-transmissive electrode or a reflective electrode, it can include Ag, Mg, Al, Pt, Pd, Au, Ni, Nd, Ir, Cr, or a metal mixture. The thickness of the first electrode layer depends on the material used and is generally 50 - 500 nm, preferably 70 - 300 nm, and more preferably 100 - 200 nm.
[0072] The organic functional material layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode includes a hole transport region, a light-emitting layer, and an electron transport region in sequence from bottom to top.
[0073] In this article, the hole transport region constituting the organic electroluminescent device can include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, etc.
[0074] As the materials for the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, and the electron blocking layer, any material can be selected from known related materials for OLED devices for use.
[0075] Examples of the above materials may include phthalocyanine derivatives, triazole derivatives, triarylmethane derivatives, triarylamine derivatives, oxazole derivatives, oxadiazole derivatives, hydrazone derivatives, stilbene derivatives, pyridinoline derivatives, polysilane derivatives, imidazole derivatives, phenylenediamine derivatives, amino-substituted quinolone derivatives, styryl anthracene derivatives, styrylamine derivatives and other styrene compounds, fluorene derivatives, spirofluorene derivatives, silazane derivatives, aniline copolymers, porphyrin compounds, carbazole derivatives, polyarylalkane derivatives, polyphenylene vinyl and its derivatives, polythiophene and its derivatives, poly-N-vinylcarbazole derivatives, thiophene oligomers and other conductive polymer oligomers, aromatic tertiary amine compounds, styrylamine compounds, triamines, tetraamines, benzidine compounds, propynediamine derivatives, p-phenylenediamine derivatives, m-phenylenediamine derivatives, 1,1'-bis(4-diarylaminophenyl)cyclohexane, 4,4'-bis(diarylamino)biphenyls, bis[4-(diarylamino)phenyl]methanes, 4,4'-bis(diarylamino)terphenyls, 4,4'-bis(diarylamino)tetraphenyls, 4,4'-bis(diarylamino)diphenyl ethers, 4,4'-bis(diarylamino)diphenyl sulfides, bis[4-(diarylamino)phenyl]dimethylmethanes, bis[4-(diarylamino)phenyl]-bis(trifluoromethyl)methanes or 2,2-diphenylethylene compounds, etc.
[0076] Furthermore, according to the device matching requirements, the hole transport film layer between the electron blocking layer and the hole injection layer that constitutes the organic electroluminescent device can be a single film layer or a stacked structure of multiple hole transport materials. In this article, for the above-mentioned hole carrier conduction film layers with different functions, their film thicknesses are not particularly limited.
[0077] The hole injection layer contains a host organic material that can conduct holes and also contains a P-type doping material with a deep HOMO energy level (the corresponding LUMO energy level will also be very deep). Based on empirical summaries, in order to achieve smooth injection of holes from the anode to the organic film layer, the HOMO energy level of the host organic material that conducts holes used in the anode interface buffer layer must have certain characteristics with the P-doping material, so as to expect the occurrence of the charge transfer state between the host material and the doping material, achieve ohmic contact between the buffer layer and the anode, and achieve efficient injection from the electrode to the hole injection conduction.
[0078] In view of the above empirical summaries, for hole-type host materials with different HOMO energy levels, different P-doping materials need to be selected to match them in order to achieve ohmic contact at the interface and improve the hole injection effect.
[0079] Thus, in one embodiment of the present invention, in order to better inject holes, the hole injection layer further comprises a P-type doping material with charge conductivity selected from the following: quinone derivatives such as tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-tetracyano-1,4-benzoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ); or hexaazatriphenylene derivatives such as 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexacyano-1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene (HAT-CN); or cyclopropane derivatives such as 4,4',4”-((1E,1'E,1”E)-cyclopropane-1,2, or metal oxides such as tungsten oxide and molybdenum oxide, but not limited thereto.
[0080] In the hole injection layer of the present invention, the ratio of the hole transport material to the P-type doping material used is 99:1 - 95:5, preferably 99:1 - 97:3, by mass.
[0081] The thickness of the hole injection layer of the present invention can be 5 - 100 nm, preferably 5 - 50 nm, and more preferably 5 - 20 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.
[0082] The thickness of the hole transport layer of the present invention can be 5 - 200 nm, preferably 10 - and more preferably 20 - 100 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.
[0083] The thickness of the electron blocking layer of the present invention can be 1 - 50 nm, preferably 5 - 40 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.
[0084] After forming the hole injection layer, hole transport layer and electron blocking layer, a corresponding light-emitting layer is formed on the electron blocking layer.
[0085] The light-emitting layer can comprise a host material and a doping material. The host material can be a common green host material in the art, and the doping material is a resonance-type organic compound represented by the general formula (1) of the present invention.
[0086] The light-emitting layer can comprise a single host material or a dual host material;
[0087] The dual host material comprises a first host material and a second host material. At least one of the first host material and the second host material is preferably a TADF material;
[0088] TADF materials refer to materials with thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties, characterized by a small energy difference between the first singlet excited state and the first triplet excited state. Therefore, singlet excitons and triplet excitons generated can be utilized simultaneously in the device, enabling the exciton utilization efficiency generated electrochemically inside the device to approach 100% as much as possible. Compared with traditional fluorescent materials, TADF materials have a higher exciton utilization efficiency.
[0089] The light-emitting layer may include a host material, an exciton sensitizing material, and a doping material;
[0090] The exciton sensitizing material refers to a material that can enable the luminescent material in the light-emitting layer to fully utilize electrochemically generated excitons, so that the light-emitting layer finally generates the emission spectrum of the sensitized material. The exciton sensitizer may perform functions such as exciton capture, exciton conversion, and exciton transfer in the electroluminescent device. The boron-containing organic compound shown in the general formula (1) of the present invention and the exciton sensitizing material are used in combination, which has an obvious improvement effect on problems such as device efficiency improvement, exciton annihilation in the device, and efficiency reduction.
[0091] In the light-emitting layer of the present invention, the ratio of the host material to the doping material used is 99:1 - 70:30, preferably 99:1 - 85:15 and more preferably 97:3 - 87:13, based on mass.
[0092] The thickness of the light-emitting layer can be adjusted to optimize the light-emitting efficiency and driving voltage. The preferred thickness range is 5 nm to 50 nm, further preferably 10 - 50 nm, and more preferably 15 - 40 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.
[0093] In the present invention, the electron transport region may sequentially include a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer disposed above the light-emitting layer from bottom to top, but is not limited thereto.
[0094] The hole blocking layer is a layer that blocks holes injected from the anode from passing through the light-emitting layer and entering the cathode, thereby prolonging the life of the device and improving the performance of the device. The hole blocking layer of the present invention may be disposed above the light-emitting layer. As the hole blocking layer material of the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention, compounds known in the prior art with hole blocking effects can be used, such as phenanthroline derivatives such as bathocuproine (referred to as BCP), metal complexes of hydroxyquinoline derivatives such as aluminum(III) bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinolato)-4-phenylphenolate (BAlq), various rare earth complexes, oxazole derivatives, triazole derivatives, triazine derivatives, pyrimidine derivatives such as 9,9'-(5-(6-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-2-phenylpyrimidin-4-yl)-1,3-phenylene)bis(9H-carbazole), etc. The thickness of the hole blocking layer of the present invention may be 2 - 200 nm, preferably 5 - 150 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.
[0095] The electron transport layer may be disposed above the light-emitting layer or, if present, the hole blocking layer. The electron transport layer material is a material that can easily receive electrons from the cathode and transfer the received electrons to the light-emitting layer. Materials with high electron mobility are preferably used. As the electron transport layer of the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention, electron transport layer materials known in the prior art for organic electroluminescent devices can be used. For example, metal complexes of hydroxyquinoline derivatives represented by Alq3, BAlq, and Liq, various rare earth metal complexes, triazole derivatives, 2,4-bis(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)-6-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (CAS No.: 1459162-51-6) and other triazine derivatives, 2-(4-(9,10-bis(naphthalen-2-yl)anthracen-2-yl)phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS No.: 561064-11-7, commonly known as LG201) and other imidazole derivatives, oxadiazole derivatives, thiadiazole derivatives, carbodiimide derivatives, quinoxaline derivatives, phenanthroline derivatives, silicon-based compound derivatives, etc. The thickness of the electron transport layer of the present invention can be 10-80 nm, preferably 20-60 nm, and more preferably 25-45 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.
