Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of organic compound technology, and more particularly to an organic compound and an organic electroluminescent device and electronic device containing the organic compound. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of electronic technology and the advancement of materials science, the application range of electronic components for realizing electroluminescence is becoming increasingly wide. These electronic components typically include a cathode and an anode positioned opposite each other, and a functional layer disposed between the cathode and anode. This functional layer consists of multiple organic or inorganic film layers and generally includes an organic light-emitting layer, a hole transport layer located between the organic light-emitting layer and the anode, and an electron transport layer located between the organic light-emitting layer and the cathode. Taking an organic electroluminescent device as an example, it generally includes an anode, a hole transport layer, an organic light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and a cathode stacked sequentially. When a voltage is applied to the anode and cathode, an electric field is generated between the two electrodes. Under the influence of the electric field, electrons on the cathode side move towards the organic light-emitting layer, and holes on the anode side also move towards the organic light-emitting layer. Electrons and holes combine in the organic light-emitting layer to form excitons. The excitons are in an excited state and release energy outward, thereby causing the organic light-emitting layer to emit light.

[0003] Existing technologies disclose host materials for fabricating organic light-emitting layers in organic electroluminescent devices. However, it remains necessary to continue developing novel materials to further improve the performance of electronic components. Summary of the Invention

[0222] Fabrication of organic electroluminescent devices

[0223] Example 1: Fabrication of Green Organic Electroluminescent Devices

[0224] The anode pretreatment is first carried out through the following process: On ITO / Ag / ITO substrates with thicknesses of 110Å / 1100Å / 90Å respectively, the surface is treated with ultraviolet ozone and O2:N2 plasma to increase the work function of the anode. The surface of the ITO substrate is cleaned with organic solvent to remove impurities and oil stains.

[0225] On the experimental substrate (anode), PD:HT-24 were co-deposited at a deposition rate of 2%:98% to form a hole injection layer (HIL) with a thickness of 120 Å. Then, HT-24 was vacuum-deposited on the hole injection layer to form a first hole transport layer with a thickness of 1150 Å.

[0226] Compound HT-23 was vacuum-deposited onto the first hole transport layer to form a second hole transport layer with a thickness of 350 Å.

[0227] On the second hole transport layer, compounds A1-1:GH-P:GD were co-deposited at a deposition rate of 47%:47%:6% to form an organic light-emitting layer (green light-emitting layer) with a thickness of 340 Å.

[0228] On the organic light-emitting layer, compound ET-1 and LiQ are mixed in a 1:1 weight ratio and vapor-deposited to form a 335 Å thick electron transport layer (ETL). Yb is vapor-deposited on the electron transport layer to form a 15 Å thick electron injection layer (EIL). Then, magnesium (Mg) and silver (Ag) are mixed at a 1:9 vapor deposition rate and vacuum-deposited on the electron injection layer to form a 130 Å thick cathode.

[0229] In addition, CP-1 is vacuum-deposited on the cathode to form an organic coating layer with a thickness of 810 Å, thereby completing the fabrication of the green organic electroluminescent device.

[0230] Examples 2-23

[0231] Organic electroluminescent devices were prepared using the same method as in Example 1, except that the compounds listed in Table 7 (collectively referred to as "Compound X") were used instead of Compound A1-1 in Example 1 when fabricating the light-emitting layer.

[0232] Comparative Examples 1-4

[0233] Except that, when fabricating the light-emitting layer, compounds I, II, III, and IV were used instead of compound A1-1 in Example 1, the organic electroluminescent device was prepared using the same method as in Example 1.

[0234]

[0235] The performance of the green organic electroluminescent devices prepared in Examples 1-23 and Comparative Examples 1-4 was tested, specifically at 10 mA / cm². 2 The IVL performance of the device was tested under the specified conditions. The lifetime of the T95 device was 15 mA / cm. 2 The test was conducted under the specified conditions, and the test results are shown in Table 7.

[0236] Table 7

[0237]

[0238] As can be seen from Table 7 above, compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 4, when the compound of this application is used as the host material of green organic electroluminescent device, the current efficiency of the device is increased by at least 12.8% and the T95 lifetime is increased by at least 14.7%.

[0239] When the organic compounds of this application are used as light-emitting layer materials in green organic electroluminescent devices, they exhibit relatively lower driving voltages and higher efficiencies compared to compounds I and III. This is likely due to the direct connection between the triazine and the rigid core structure in these organic compounds, which allows for a wider conjugation range in the molecular structure. Furthermore, compared to compounds II and IV, the organic compounds of this application demonstrate higher efficiency at similar driving voltages. This is likely due to the higher first triplet energy level of the molecular structure resulting from the specific fusion mode between the groups in the core structure. In particular, the performance is optimal when the triazine group is attached to a benzene ring containing a fused oxazole.

[0240] Example 24: Fabrication of a red organic electroluminescent device

[0241] The anode pretreatment is first carried out through the following process: On ITO / Ag / ITO substrates with thicknesses of 110Å / 1000Å / 100Å respectively, the surface is treated with ultraviolet ozone and O2:N2 plasma to increase the work function of the anode. The surface of the ITO / Ag / ITO substrate is cleaned with organic solvent to remove impurities and oil stains from the substrate surface.

[0242] On the experimental substrate (anode), PD:HT-24 was co-deposited at a deposition rate of 2%:98% to form a hole injection layer (HIL) with a thickness of 115 Å. Then, HT-24 was vacuum-deposited on the hole injection layer to form a first hole transport layer with a thickness of 1250 Å.

[0243] Compound HT-25 was vacuum-deposited onto the first hole transport layer to form a second hole transport layer with a thickness of 680 Å.

[0244] On the second hole transport layer, RH-P:compound A1-21:RD were co-deposited at a deposition rate of 49%:49%:2% to form an organic light-emitting layer (red light-emitting layer) with a thickness of 400 Å.

[0245] On the organic light-emitting layer, compound ET-1 and LiQ are mixed in a 1:1 weight ratio and vapor-deposited to form a 335 Å thick electron transport layer (ETL). Yb is vapor-deposited on the electron transport layer to form a 15 Å thick electron injection layer (EIL). Then, magnesium (Mg) and silver (Ag) are mixed at a 1:9 vapor deposition rate and vacuum-deposited on the electron injection layer to form a 130 Å thick cathode.

[0246] In addition, CP-1 is vacuum-deposited on the cathode to form an organic coating layer with a thickness of 800 Å, thereby completing the fabrication of the red organic electroluminescent device.

[0247] Examples 25-31

[0248] Organic electroluminescent devices were prepared using the same method as in Example 1, except that the compounds listed in Table 8 below (collectively referred to as "Compound X") were used instead of Compounds A1-21 in Example 1 when fabricating the light-emitting layer.

[0249] Comparative Examples 5-6

[0250] Except that compounds V and VI were used instead of compounds A1-21 in Example 20 when fabricating the light-emitting layer, the organic electroluminescent device was prepared using the same method as in Example 1.

[0251] The main compound structures used in the preparation of each example and comparative example are as follows:

[0252]

[0253] The performance of the red organic electroluminescent devices prepared in Examples 24-31 and Comparative Examples 4 and 5 was tested, specifically at 10 mA / cm². 2 The IVL performance of the device was tested under the specified conditions. The lifetime of the T95 device was 15 mA / cm. 2 The test was conducted under the specified conditions, and the test results are shown in Table 8.

[0254] Table 8

[0255]

[0256] When the organic compounds of this application are used as the light-emitting layer material in a red organic electroluminescent device, compared with Comparative Examples 5 and 6, the current efficiency is increased by at least 19.0%, the lifetime is increased by at least 11.1%, and the driving voltage is reduced by at least 0.13V.

[0257] Compared to compound V, when the organic compounds of this application are used as the host material layer of the light-emitting layer in organic electroluminescent devices, the devices can have significantly lower driving voltage, higher efficiency, and longer T95 lifetime. The reason for this may be that triazine, as an electron transport group, has a higher aromatic conjugation effect and photoelectric stability than pyrimidine.

[0258] Compared to compound VI, when the organic compounds of this application are used as the main material layer of the light-emitting layer in organic electroluminescent devices, the devices can achieve higher luminous efficiency while maintaining a lower driving voltage. The reason for this may be that the special fusion mode between the specific groups in the core structure of the organic compounds of this application results in a higher first triplet energy level and a better match between the LUMO energy level and the adjacent layers.
