AI Technical Summary
In existing organic electroluminescent devices, the light-emitting adjustment layer material has a small molecular weight and low glass transition temperature, which makes it prone to crystallization during repeated charging and discharging. This affects the uniformity of the thin film and the lifespan of the device, resulting in a decrease in color purity, efficiency and lifespan.
Organic compounds with high T1 values and wide band gaps are used as luminescence adjustment layer materials. Dibenzofuran or dibenzothiophene is used as the parent nucleus, and methyl or trideuterated methyl groups are added to the benzene ring to connect aromatic amine groups. This adjusts the spatial configuration and electron cloud density of the molecular structure and reduces local crystallization degradation caused by intermolecular stacking.
This improved the device's charge mobility, reduced the driving voltage, and achieved high efficiency and long lifespan device performance at low voltage.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of organic electroluminescence, and more specifically to an organic compound, electronic component, and electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are considered next-generation display and lighting technologies due to their advantages such as active light emission, high luminous efficiency, low power consumption, light weight, thinness, fast response speed, and wide viewing angle. OLEDs consist of an anode, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an organic light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a cathode. Electrons and holes are injected from the cathode and anode, respectively, and then recombine in the organic light-emitting layer through the electron transport layer and hole transport layer to form excitons. These excitons return to the ground state and emit light. The material used for the hole transport layer typically has a low highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) value, resulting in a low T1 value. During device operation, excitons generated in the organic light-emitting layer transfer to the hole transport layer, causing charge imbalance within the organic light-emitting layer. This leads to light emission within the hole transport layer or at its interface, ultimately resulting in decreased color purity, reduced efficiency, and shorter lifetime.
[0003] Currently, to improve device efficiency and lifespan, there is an urgent need for luminescent adjustment layer materials with high T1 values and wide bandgap. However, the reported luminescent adjustment layer materials generally have small molecular weights and low glass transition temperatures. During repeated charge-discharge cycles, these materials are prone to crystallization, which disrupts the uniformity of the film and affects its lifespan. Therefore, developing stable and efficient luminescent adjustment layer materials to improve charge mobility, reduce driving voltage, increase device luminous efficiency, and extend device lifespan has significant practical application value. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an organic compound, electronic component, and electronic device, wherein using the organic compound in an organic electroluminescent device can improve the performance of the device.
[0005] A first aspect of this application provides an organic compound having the structure shown in Formula I:
[0006]
[0007] Where X is taken from O or S;
[0008] R1 and R2 may be the same or different, and each is independently selected from methyl or trideuterated methyl;
[0009] L1 and L2 may be the same or different, and each is independently selected from single bonds, substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups with 6 to 30 carbon atoms, or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl groups with 3 to 30 carbon atoms;
[0010] Ar1 and Ar2 may be the same or different, and each is independently selected from substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups with 6 to 30 carbon atoms, or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl groups with 3 to 20 carbon atoms.
[0011] The substituents in L1, L2, Ar1, and Ar2 may be the same or different, and each is independently selected from deuterium, halogen groups, cyano, alkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, haloalkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, deuteralkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, trialkylsilyl groups with 3 to 12 carbon atoms, aryl groups with 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or heteroaryl groups with 3 to 20 carbon atoms.
[0012] A second aspect of this application provides an electronic component including an anode and a cathode disposed opposite to each other, and a functional layer disposed between the anode and the cathode; the functional layer comprising the aforementioned organic compound.
[0013] A third aspect of this application provides an electronic device including the electronic components described in the second aspect.
[0014] The organic compound of this application uses dibenzofuran or dibenzothiophene as the parent core, with two substituents in one benzene ring. Both substituents are selected from unsubstituted or deuterated methyl groups, while an aromatic amine group is directly attached to the other benzene ring. The unsubstituted or deuterated methyl group forms a hyperconjugation effect with the attached benzene ring, increasing the electron cloud density of the benzene ring. Furthermore, since the methyl or trideuterated methyl group is relatively small, introducing two groups into the same benzene ring of the aromatic amine in the compound not only finely adjusts the spatial configuration of the molecular structure but also effectively regulates the intermolecular distance, maintaining a certain distance between molecules. This results in higher mobility for the compound and reduces localized crystallization degradation caused by intermolecular stacking after film formation, thus optimizing the film-forming properties of the compound. When the compound of this application is used as a light-emitting adjustment layer in an organic electroluminescent device, it exhibits low voltage, good efficiency, and long lifetime device characteristics.

[0024] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this application more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a full understanding of embodiments of this application.
[0025] In a first aspect, this application provides an organic compound having the structure shown in Formula I:

[0032] In this application, It refers to a chemical bond that is attached to other substituents or bonding sites.
[0033] In this application, the descriptive phrases "each...independently is," "...each independently is," and "...each independently is" are interchangeable and should be interpreted broadly. They can mean either that the specific options expressed by the same symbol in different groups do not affect each other, or that the specific options expressed by the same symbol in the same group do not affect each other. For example, In this formula, each q is independently 0, 1, 2 or 3, and each R is independently selected from hydrogen, deuterium, fluorine or chlorine. The meaning is as follows: Formula Q-1 indicates that there are q substituents R on the benzene ring. Each R can be the same or different, and the options of each R do not affect each other. Formula Q-2 indicates that there are q substituents R on each benzene ring of biphenyl. The number q of substituents R on the two benzene rings can be the same or different, and each R can be the same or different. The options of each R do not affect each other.
[0034] In this application, the term "substituted or unsubstituted" means that the functional group described after the term may or may not have substituents (hereinafter, for ease of description, substituents are collectively referred to as Rc). For example, "substituted or unsubstituted aryl" refers to an aryl group having a substituent Rc or an unsubstituted aryl group. The aforementioned substituents, i.e., Rc, can be, for example, deuterium, halogen groups, cyano, alkyl, haloalkyl, trialkylsilyl, deuteralkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, etc. The number of substituents Rc can be one or more. When two substituents Rc are attached to the same atom, these two substituents Rc can exist independently or be connected to each other to form a ring with the atom; when two adjacent substituents Rc exist on a functional group, the adjacent substituents Rc can exist independently or fuse with the functional group to which they are attached to form a ring.
[0035] In this application, the number of carbon atoms in substituted or unsubstituted functional groups refers to the total number of carbon atoms. For example, if L1 is a substituted arylene with 12 carbon atoms, then the total number of carbon atoms in the arylene and its substituents is 12.

Specific examples of aryl-substituted heteroaryl groups include, but are not limited to, phenyl-substituted dibenzofuranyl and phenyl-substituted dibenzothiopheneyl. It should be understood that the number of carbon atoms in the substituted heteroaryl group refers to the total number of carbon atoms of the heteroaryl group and the substituents on the heteroaryl group.
[0042] In this application, specific examples of aryl groups that are substituents in L1, L2, Ar1, and Ar2 include, but are not limited to, phenyl, biphenyl, and naphthyl groups.

[0049] In this application, specific examples of deuterated alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, trideuterated methyl groups.
[0050] In this application, the non-positioned connecting key refers to the single bond extending from the loop system. This means that one end of the linking bond can connect to any position in the ring system that the bond passes through, and the other end connects to the rest of the compound molecule.
[0051] For example, as shown in equation (f) below, the naphthyl group represented by equation (f) is connected to other positions in the molecule through two non-positional linkages that span the bicyclic ring. This means that any possible connection mode is shown in equations (f-1) to (f-10).
[0052]
[0053] For example, as shown in the following formula (X'), the dibenzofuran group represented by formula (X') is connected to other positions of the molecule through a non-positional linker extending from the middle of one side of the benzene ring. This means that any possible connection mode shown in formulas (X'-1) to (X'-4) is included.
[0054]
[0055] In this application, a non-positional substituent refers to a substituent connected by a single bond extending from the center of the ring system, indicating that the substituent can be attached to any possible position in the ring system. For example, as shown in equation (Y) below, the substituent R' represented by equation (Y) is connected to the quinoline ring by a non-positional linking bond, which means that it includes any possible connection mode shown in equations (Y-1) to (Y-7).
[0056]

[0059] The definitions of L1, L2, Ar1, and Ar2 are the same as in Equation I.
[0060] In some embodiments, one of R1 and R2 is methyl and the other is trideuterated methyl.
[0061] In the compounds of this application, when one of R1 and R2 is methyl and the other is trideuterated methyl, these two alkyl substituents interact with the aromatic amine nitrogen atom attached to the benzene ring on the other side of the parent nucleus, effectively balancing the overall charge distribution of the molecule. This ensures improved carrier mobility while also giving the compound better chemical stability. When the compounds of this application are used as the light-emitting auxiliary layer of a device, the device's lifespan can be effectively extended.
[0062] In some embodiments, L1 and L2 may be the same or different, and each is independently selected from single-bonded substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups having 6 to 18 carbon atoms, or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl groups having 12 to 18 carbon atoms.

[0211] Finally, compound CP-1 is deposited on the cathode to form a thickness of [thickness value missing]. The cathode capping layer is used to complete the fabrication of the red organic electroluminescent device.
[0212] Examples 2 to 58:
[0213] Except that, when preparing the light-emitting adjustment layer, the organic electroluminescent device was prepared using the same method as in Example 1, except that the compound in Table 7 was used instead of compound 2 in Example 1.
[0214] Comparative Examples 1 to 6:
[0215] Except that, when preparing the light-emitting adjustment layer, compounds A, B, C, D, E, and F were used to replace compound 2 in Example 1, the organic electroluminescent device was prepared using the same method as in Example 1.
[0216] In the fabrication of organic electroluminescent devices, the structures of the various materials used in the comparative and examples are as follows:
[0217]
[0218] The organic electroluminescent devices prepared in Examples 1-58 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were subjected to performance tests, specifically at 10 mA / cm². 2 The IVL performance (operating voltage, current efficiency, and color coordinates) of the device was tested under the following conditions. 95 Device lifetime is 20 mA / cm 2 The test was conducted under the specified conditions, and the test results are shown in Table 7 below.
[0219] Table 7
[0220]
[0221]
[0222]
[0223] Referring to Table 7 above, in Examples 1-58, using the compounds of this application as the luminescence adjustment layer material, compared with Comparative Examples 1-6, the voltage was reduced by at least 0.21V, the luminous efficiency was increased by at least 11.8%, and the device lifetime was increased by at least 16.3%. It is evident that using the organic compounds of this application in the luminescence adjustment layer of organic electroluminescent devices can reduce the device voltage and improve the luminous efficiency and lifetime of the organic electroluminescent devices. 95 life.
[0224] Compared with the devices of compounds A and C, the efficiency of the embodiments of this application is significantly improved. This may be because, in compounds A and C, the same benzene ring to which the aromatic amine is attached has an unsubstituted or deuterated methyl substituent, which reduces the rotational degree of freedom of the aromatic amine group, reduces the configurational adjustment ability of the compound, and thus leads to a decrease in charge mobility, thereby resulting in a decrease in the luminous efficiency of the device.
[0225] Compared with the devices of compounds B and D, the embodiments of this application show a significant improvement in luminous efficiency and lifetime. This may be because when fluorene and carbazole are used as the parent nucleus, the molecular LUMO energy level is too shallow and the carrier mobility is too fast. When applied to the luminescence adjustment layer of the device, it will cause a large roll-off, and the charge accumulation will accelerate the device degradation, thereby leading to a decrease in device performance.
[0226] Compared with the device of compound E, the efficiency and lifetime of the embodiments of this application are significantly improved. This may be because there is only one methyl substituent on the dibenzothiophene core of compound E, which has a weaker electron-donating effect and configuration regulation ability. Therefore, the charge mobility and film-forming properties of compound E are inferior to those of the compound of this application.
[0227] Compared with the device based on compound F, the efficiency of the embodiments in this application is significantly improved. This may be because there is a phenylene group between the aromatic amine and the dibenzofuran core in compound F. The presence of the phenylene group changes the overall conjugation range of the molecule, thereby reducing the mobility.
[0228] The preferred embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. However, this application is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this application, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of this application, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this application.
