Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor materials technology, and in particular to a triazine-containing organic compound and an organic electroluminescent device containing the same. Background Technology

[0002] Organic Light Emission Diodes (OLEDs) technology can be used to manufacture novel display products and lighting products, and is expected to replace existing liquid crystal displays and fluorescent lighting, with a very wide range of applications. OLED devices have a sandwich-like structure, including electrode material layers and organic functional materials sandwiched between different electrode material layers. Various organic functional materials are stacked together according to their intended use to form the OLED light-emitting device. As a current-emitting device, when a voltage is applied to its two electrodes, and an electric field is applied to the positive and negative charges in the organic functional material layers, the positive and negative charges recombine in the light-emitting layer, thus generating OLED electroluminescence.

[0003] Currently, OLED display technology has been applied in smartphones, tablets, and other fields, and will further expand into large-screen applications such as televisions. However, compared with the requirements of actual product applications, the luminous efficiency and lifespan of OLED devices still need further improvement. In order to continuously improve the performance of OLED devices, continuous research and innovation in OLED optoelectronic functional materials are needed to create higher-performance OLED functional materials.

[0004] OLED optoelectronic functional materials used in OLED devices can be broadly categorized into two types based on their applications: charge injection transport materials and luminescent materials. Further, charge injection transport materials can be classified into electron injection transport materials, electron blocking materials, hole injection transport materials, and hole blocking materials. As charge transport materials, they require excellent carrier mobility and high glass transition temperature. In OLED devices, electrons are injected from the cathode and then transported to the host material through the hole blocking layer, where they recombine with holes to generate excitons. Therefore, improving the injection and transport capabilities of the hole blocking layer helps reduce the device driving voltage while achieving high electron-hole recombination efficiency. Thus, the hole blocking layer is crucial, requiring high electron injection and transport capabilities as well as high electron durability.

[0005] With the significant advancements in OLED devices, the performance requirements for materials have also increased. These materials must not only possess excellent stability but also achieve good efficiency and lifetime at low driving voltages. However, current hole-blocking materials suffer from insufficient electron injection and hole-blocking capabilities, as well as inadequate thermal stability. Furthermore, defects in the materials' electron tolerance lead to phase separation or decomposition during device operation, resulting in poor device lifetime. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies, this invention provides a triazine-structured compound and its application in organic electroluminescent devices. The compound of this invention bridges the triazine structure and the spirocyclic aryl group through a specific bridging structure, giving the compound excellent electron injection and hole blocking capabilities, as well as good electron durability and material stability. When applied to organic electroluminescent devices, it can effectively reduce the device's operating voltage and improve its lifespan.

[0088] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0089] In this application, unless otherwise stated, HOMO refers to the highest occupied orbital of a molecule, and LUMO refers to the lowest empty orbital of a molecule. Furthermore, in this invention, HOMO and LUMO energy levels are represented by absolute values, and comparisons between energy levels are made by comparing their absolute values. Those skilled in the art know that the larger the absolute value of an energy level, the lower its energy.

[0090] In the accompanying drawings, for clarity, the dimensions of layers and regions may be exaggerated.

Device Examples 1-23 and Comparative Examples 1-15 are manufactured using the same process as Device Example 1, and use the same substrate and electrode materials with consistent electrode film thickness. The only difference is the change in the hole blocking material. The device stack-up structure is shown in Table 5, and the performance test results of each device are shown in Table 6. The molecular structural formulas of the relevant materials are shown below:

[0180] Device Example 1

[0181] The specific preparation process is as follows:

[0182] like Figure 1 As shown, the transparent substrate layer 1 is transparent glass, and the anode layer 2 is Ag (100nm). On the clean anode layer 2, HT-1 and P-1 with a thickness of 10nm are deposited using a vacuum evaporation apparatus as a hole injection layer 3, with a mass ratio of HT-1 to P-1 of 97:3. Next, HT-1 with a thickness of 117nm is deposited as a hole transport layer 4. Subsequently, EB-1 with a thickness of 10nm is deposited as an electron blocking layer 5. After the electron blocking materials are deposited, the light-emitting layer 6 of the OLED light-emitting device is fabricated. Its structure includes BH-1 as the host material and BD-1 as the dopant material, with a doping ratio of 3% by weight, and a light-emitting layer thickness of 20nm. After the light-emitting layer 6, compound 3 is deposited with a thickness of 8nm as a hole blocking layer 7. ET-1 and Liq are then deposited on top of the hole blocking layer 7, with a mass ratio of ET-1 to Liq of 1:1. The vacuum-deposited film of this material is 30 nm thick, and this layer is the electron transport layer 8. On the electron transport layer 8, a 1 nm thick LiF layer is fabricated using a vacuum evaporation apparatus; this layer is the electron injection layer 9. On the electron injection layer 9, a 16 nm thick Mg:Ag electrode layer is fabricated using a vacuum evaporation apparatus, with a Mg to Ag mass ratio of 1:9; this layer is used as the cathode layer 10. On the cathode layer 10, a 65 nm thick CP-1 layer is vacuum-deposited as the CPL layer 11.

[0188] III. Device Testing Examples

[0189] The devices fabricated in Part II were tested, including their drive voltage and LT95 lifetime. The voltage was measured using an IVL (current-voltage-luminance) testing system (Suzhou Fushida Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd.), with a current density of 10 mA / cm². 2 LT95 refers to the time it takes for the device's brightness to decay to 95% of its initial brightness, measured at a current density of 50 mA / cm². 2 The lifetime testing system was the EAS-62C OLED device lifetime tester from System Technology Inc., Japan; the test results are shown in Table 6 below.

For example, its lifespan is basically more than 1.2 times that of the comparative devices 1-12.
