Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of prior application number 202211132401.3, filed on September 13, 2022, entitled "A Boron-Containing Organic Compound and an Organic Electroluminescent Device Prepared Therefrom". Technical Field
[0002] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and more particularly to a boron-containing organic compound and an organic electroluminescent device prepared therefrom. Background Technology
[0003] Traditional fluorescent doped materials, limited by early technologies, can only emit light using 25% of singlet excitons generated by electrical excitation. The internal quantum efficiency of these devices is low, and the external quantum efficiency is generally below 5%, significantly lower than that of phosphorescent devices. Phosphorescent materials, due to the strong spin-orbit coupling at the heavy atom centers enhancing intersystem crossing, can effectively utilize singlet and triplet excitons generated by electrical excitation for emission. However, most phosphorescent materials are expensive, have poor material stability, poor color purity, and suffer from severe efficiency roll-off, limiting their application in OLEDs.
[0004] With the advent of the 5G era, higher requirements have been placed on color rendering standards. In addition to high efficiency and stability, luminescent materials also need narrower half-widths (HWHMs) to improve the purity of the emitted color in devices. Fluorescent dopants can achieve high fluorescence quantum density and narrow HWHM through molecular engineering. Significant breakthroughs have been achieved in blue fluorescent dopants, with the HWHM of boron-based materials reduced to below 30 nm. However, research on the green light region, which is more sensitive to the human eye, has mainly focused on phosphorescent dopants. However, the peak shape of these dopants is difficult to narrow using simple methods. Therefore, researching efficient green fluorescent dopants with narrow HWHMs is of great significance in meeting higher color rendering standards.
[0005] In addition, sensitization technology combines triplet exciton sensitizing materials with fluorescent doping materials. By using triplet exciton sensitizing materials as exciton sensitization media, it makes full use of triplet excitons and transfers energy to fluorescent doping materials through energy transfer, achieving 100% in-device quantum efficiency. This technology can make up for the shortcomings of insufficient exciton utilization in fluorescent doping materials and effectively leverage the high fluorescence quantum yield, high device stability, high color purity, and low cost of fluorescent doping materials, showing broad prospects in OLED applications.
[0006] Boron compounds with resonant structures are more likely to achieve narrow half-width emission (HWHM). When applied to sensitization techniques, these materials can enable the fabrication of devices with high efficiency and narrow HWHM emission. For example, CN 107507921 A and CN 110492006 A disclose a light-emitting layer combination technique using TADF materials with a minimum singlet and triplet energy level difference of less than or equal to 0.2 eV as the main body and boron-containing materials as dopants; CN 110492005 A and CN 110492009 A disclose a light-emitting layer combination scheme using excitocomplexes as the main body and boron-containing materials as dopants; both achieve efficiencies comparable to phosphorescence and relatively narrow HWHM. Therefore, developing sensitization techniques based on narrow HWHM boron-based light-emitting materials has unique advantages and strong potential for improving BT.2020 display performance.

Non-limiting examples may include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, 4-methylcyclohexyl, 4,4-dimethylcyclohexyl, adamantyl, and cycloheptyl.
[0097] As the substrate for the organic electroluminescent device of this invention, any substrate commonly used in organic electroluminescent devices can be used. Examples include transparent substrates, such as glass or transparent plastic substrates; and opaque substrates, such as silicon substrates. Different substrates have different mechanical strengths, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, and water resistance. Depending on the properties of the substrate, its application direction varies. In this invention, a transparent PI film substrate is preferred. There are no particular limitations on the thickness of the substrate.
[0098] A first electrode is formed on a substrate, and the first electrode and a second electrode may be opposite each other. The first electrode may be an anode. The first electrode may be a transmissive electrode, a semi-transmissive electrode, or a reflective electrode. When the first electrode is a transmissive electrode, it may 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). When the first electrode is a semi-transmissive electrode or a reflective electrode, it may include Ag, Mg, Al, Pt, Pd, Au, Ni, Nd, Ir, Cr, or a mixture of metals. The thickness of the first electrode layer depends on the material used, typically 50-500 nm, preferably 70-300 nm, and more preferably 100-200 nm.
[0099] The organic functional material layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode includes, from bottom to top, a hole transport region, a light-emitting layer, and an electron transport region.
[0100] In this paper, the hole transport region constituting an organic electroluminescent device can be listed as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, etc.
[0101] As for the materials used in the hole injection layer, hole transport layer, and electron blocking layer, any material can be selected from known materials used in OLED devices.

[0103] Furthermore, depending on the device configuration requirements, the hole transport film layer between the electron blocking and hole injection layers of an organic electroluminescent device can be a single film layer or a stacked structure of multiple hole transport materials. In this paper, the film thickness of the various hole carrier conduction films with different functions is not particularly limited.
[0104] The hole injection layer comprises a host organic material capable of conducting holes, and a p-type doped material with a deep HOMO level (correspondingly, a deep LUMO level). Based on empirical observations, to achieve smooth hole injection from the anode to the organic film, the HOMO level of the host organic material used in the anode interface buffer layer must possess certain characteristics with the p-doped material. This is necessary to enable charge transfer states between the host and doped materials, achieve ohmic contact between the buffer layer and the anode, and realize efficient hole injection conduction from the electrode to the hole injection layer.
[0105] Based on the above empirical summary, different P-doped materials need to be selected to match the hole-based host materials of different HOMO energy levels in order to achieve ohmic contact at the interface and improve the hole injection effect.
[0106] Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve hole injection, the hole injection layer further comprises a p-type dopant material selected from the following charge-conducting materials: quinone derivatives, such as tetracyanoquinone dimethyl (TCNQ) and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-tetracyano-1,4-benzoquinone dimethyl (F4-TCNQ); or hexaazatriphenyl derivatives, such as 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexacyano-1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenyl (HAT-CN); or cyclopropane derivatives, such as 4,4',4”-((1E,1'E,1”E)-cyclopropane-1,2,3-trimethylenetris(cyanoformyl))tris(2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzyl); or metal oxides, such as tungsten oxide and molybdenum oxide, but not limited thereto.
[0107] In the hole injection layer of the present invention, the ratio of hole transport material to P-type doped material is 99:1-95:5, preferably 99:1-97:3, based on mass meter.
[0108] 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.
[0109] The thickness of the hole transport layer of the present invention can be 5-200 nm, preferably 10-150 nm, and more preferably 20-100 nm, but the thickness is not limited to this range.
[0110] 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.
[0111] After forming the hole injection layer, hole transport layer, and electron blocking layer, a corresponding light-emitting layer is formed on top of the electron blocking layer.
[0112] The light-emitting layer may include a host material and a dopant material. The host material may be a green light host material commonly used in the art, and the dopant material may be a boron-containing organic compound represented by the general formula (1) of this invention.
[0113] The light-emitting layer can contain a single-substrate material or a dual-substrate material;
[0114] The dual-body material comprises a first body material and a second body material, wherein preferably at least one of the first body material and the second body material is a TADF material;
[0115] TADF materials refer to materials with thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties. They are characterized by a small energy difference between the first excited singlet and triplet states, allowing for the simultaneous utilization of both singlet and triplet excitons generated within the device, thus enabling the exciton utilization rate of electrogenerated excitons within the device to approach 100%. Compared to traditional fluorescent materials, TADF materials exhibit higher exciton utilization.
[0116] The light-emitting layer may include a host material, an exciton-sensitizing material, and a dopant material;
[0117] Exciton-sensitized materials refer to materials that enable the luminescent material in the luminescent layer to fully utilize electroexcitons, thereby allowing the luminescent layer to ultimately produce the emission spectrum of the sensitized material. Exciton sensitizers may perform functions such as exciton capture, exciton conversion, and exciton transfer in electroluminescent devices.

[0123] An electron injection layer may be disposed above the electron transport layer. The electron injection layer material is typically preferably a material with a low work function, allowing electrons to be easily injected into the organic functional material layer. As the electron injection layer material for the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention, electron injection layer materials known in the art for organic electroluminescent devices can be used, such as lithium; lithium salts, such as lithium 8-hydroxyquinoline, lithium fluoride, lithium carbonate, or lithium azide; or cesium salts, such as cesium fluoride, cesium carbonate, or cesium azide.

The second electrode may be a transmission electrode, a semi-transmission electrode, or a reflection electrode. When the second electrode is a transmission electrode, it may include, for example, Li, Yb, Ca, LiF / Ca, LiF / Al, Al, Mg, Ba, Ag, or compounds or mixtures thereof; when the second electrode is a semi-transmission electrode or a reflection electrode, it may include Ag, Mg, Yb, Al, Pt, Pd, Au, Ni, Nd, Ir, Cr, Li, Ca, LiF / Ca, LiF / Al, Mo, Ti, or compounds or mixtures thereof, but is not limited thereto. The thickness of the cathode depends on the material used.
[0125] The organic electroluminescent device of the present invention may further include an encapsulation structure. The encapsulation structure may be a protective structure preventing external substances such as moisture and oxygen from entering the organic layer of the organic electroluminescent device. The encapsulation structure may be, for example, a can, such as a glass or metal can; or a thin film covering the entire surface of the organic layer.

In this regard, methods such as vacuum deposition, vacuum evaporation, spin coating, casting, LB method, inkjet printing, laser printing, or LITI can be used, but are not limited thereto. In the present invention, vacuum evaporation is preferably used to form the various layers. Those skilled in the art can conventionally select the various process conditions in the vacuum evaporation method according to actual needs.
