Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of optoelectronic technology, and in particular to organic light-emitting materials, organic electroluminescent devices, and their fabrication. Background Technology
[0002] Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology is an active light-emitting technology that uses organic semiconductor thin films under an applied electric field. Due to its numerous advantages, including being all-solid-state, having a wide viewing angle, fast response, being thin and flexible, having high brightness, and low power consumption, it has received high attention from academia and industry and is now widely used in flat panel displays, wearable devices, solid-state lighting, and other fields. Organic light-emitting materials, as a key part of the OLED display technology industry chain, are one of the key technological barriers. In comparison, the development of deep red light-emitting materials, especially near-infrared light-emitting materials, is relatively lagging behind. However, deep red / near-infrared light-emitting materials play an irreplaceable role in emerging fields such as security displays, night vision devices, information security storage, and optical communications. Therefore, in recent years, the development of novel, high-efficiency deep red / near-infrared light-emitting materials has become a hot topic and a challenge in the field of organic optoelectronics.
[0003] Based on their light-emitting mechanisms, OLED luminescent materials are mainly classified into traditional fluorescent materials, phosphorescent materials, and thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials. Currently, the vast majority of materials used in OLED luminescent layers are traditional fluorescent materials. According to quantum statistical laws, only 25% of singlet excitons can be utilized, resulting in an external quantum efficiency generally below 5%, severely impacting their luminescent performance. Phosphorescent materials composed of coordinating heavy metals such as iridium, platinum, and osmium have achieved higher luminescent efficiencies (external quantum efficiency exceeding 20%), but their large spectral half-width (FWHM) (greater than 60 nm) and high material cost limit their applications. Achieving efficient utilization of triplet excitons in purely organic fluorescent materials to realize high-efficiency fluorescent devices is a key research focus in the OLED field.
[0004] In the past decade, replacing phosphorescent materials with thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials that do not contain precious metals has been a relatively ideal approach. These materials mainly include carbazole and its derivatives, triazine and its derivatives, pyrimidine and its derivatives, pyridine and its derivatives, and acenaphthene (US18059410, US17937348, CN201911205731.9, CN202011480586.8, WOCN21101705, CN201810315618.5). Furthermore, the design of deep-red / near-infrared metal complex materials requires both a relatively small molecular weight and the presence of large conjugated groups, which limits the molecular design possibilities. Although scientists have made some progress in the field of deep-red / near-infrared organic electroluminescent devices in recent years, their luminous efficiency is still insufficient compared to visible light OLEDs. Therefore, achieving highly efficient deep-red / near-infrared fluorescent devices remains a significant challenge. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide organic light-emitting materials, organic electroluminescent devices, and their fabrication. The organic light-emitting materials and devices based on phenanthrene derivatives of the present invention utilize benzene ring fusion to ensure high oscillator strength in the excited state, facilitating radiative transitions. Furthermore, their rigid fused-ring structure and non-bonded electronic structure effectively suppress intramolecular vibrations, helping to suppress non-radiative transitions in the excited state and achieve high photoluminescence efficiency. Additionally, these molecules can form intermolecular charge-transfer aggregates, thereby reducing non-adiabatic electron coupling and achieving low non-radiative transition rates, further improving photoluminescence efficiency. They can also stabilize the excited-state energy, enabling further application in organic electroluminescent devices to achieve high electroluminescence efficiency.

On the other hand, it can ensure the rigidity of the molecular structure and enhance the non-bonded electronic structure characteristics of the molecule, effectively reducing the vibration and rotation of the molecule to achieve a low non-radiative transition rate, ultimately achieving high luminescence efficiency. This acceptor has a strong electron-withdrawing effect, and the DA-type molecules obtained by combining with common donor units can obtain highly efficient deep red / near-infrared luminescence.
[0088] (2) The molecule of the present invention is a strong donor-acceptor type molecule. Its strong donor-acceptor structure helps to form intermolecular charge transfer aggregates in the solid state, thereby reducing the non-adiabatic coupling of electrons and reducing the nonradiative transition rate of the excited state to obtain efficient near-infrared photoluminescence. It can also stabilize the excited state energy, induce the generation of thermally activated delayed fluorescence, and realize efficient deep red / near-infrared electroluminescence.

[0134] The performance comparison results of the devices prepared according to the present invention above show that the organic electroluminescent devices prepared using the preferred compounds of the present invention have advantages such as high luminous efficiency. On the one hand, the phenanthrene core, through benzene ring fusion, can ensure that the excited state has a high oscillator strength, which is beneficial to radiative transitions; on the other hand, it can ensure the rigidity of the molecular structure, and by introducing non-bonded electronic structures to a certain extent, it can effectively reduce molecular vibration and rotation, suppress non-radiative transitions, and achieve a low non-radiative transition rate. In addition, the molecule designed in this invention is a strong donor-acceptor type molecule, whose strong donor-acceptor structure helps to form intermolecular charge transfer aggregates in the solid state, thereby reducing the overlap of electrons and holes in the excited state, effectively suppressing non-adiabatic electron coupling, and stabilizing the excited state energy, thereby improving luminous efficiency. Therefore, when suitable electron-donating and electron-withdrawing units are introduced on the phenanthrene core, efficient long-wavelength emission can be easily obtained, meeting its application requirements in the field of deep red / near-infrared organic electroluminescent devices.
