Technical Field
[0001] This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0120824 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on September 23, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates to an ink composition, an organic material layer containing the same, and an organic light-emitting device containing the same. Background Art
[0003] The organic light emitting phenomenon is one of the examples of converting electric current into visible light through the internal process of specific organic molecules. The principle of the organic light emitting phenomenon is as follows. When the organic material layer is arranged between the anode and the cathode and a current is applied between the two electrodes, electrons and holes are injected into the organic material layer from the cathode and the anode, respectively. The electrons and holes injected into the organic material layer recombine to form excitons, and the excitons fall to the ground state again to emit light. An organic light emitting device using this principle can generally be composed of a cathode, an anode, and an organic material layer (e.g., a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a hole blocking layer, etc.) arranged therebetween.
[0004] In the prior art, a deposition method is generally used to manufacture an organic light-emitting device. However, there are problems such as material loss often occurs when manufacturing an organic light-emitting device by a deposition method, and it is difficult to manufacture a device with a large area, and in order to solve these problems, a device using a solution method is developed.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need to develop materials for solution methods. Summary of the invention

[0056] [Chemical formula 1]
[0057]

[0069] l11 and l12 are each an integer of 1 to 3, and when l11 and l12 are each 2 or more, two or more substituents in the brackets are the same as or different from each other,

[0074] The compound of Chemical Formula 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention has a high highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level value and excellent hole mobility by including both a sub-heteroaryl group (Lc) containing O, S or Si and two fluorene derivatives. In addition, a curable group is introduced into the two fluorene derivatives to suppress the formation of free radicals at the corresponding positions, thereby enhancing the stability of the compound. For this reason, the case where the compound of Chemical Formula 1 is applied to the organic material layer in the organic light-emitting device shows an effect of improving the performance of the organic light-emitting device. In particular, when the compound of Chemical Formula 1 is applied to the hole injection layer, this promotes the transmission or injection of holes, thereby providing an organic light-emitting device having high luminous efficiency and long service life characteristics.
[0075] Since the solvent represented by Chemical Formula A according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention contains biphenyl as a core structure, the solvent has excellent solubility for the solute (the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1) contained in the ink composition. In addition, there is an advantage that the uniformity of the organic material layer can be improved by reducing the thickness deviation between pixels due to a good leveling effect. Specifically, the ink composition can reduce the thickness deviation between pixels that have been applied and dried (or heat-treated). Therefore, by reducing the factors that affect the interference conditions of the light emitted from the light-emitting device according to the thickness, excellent light-emitting and / or color-developing effects can be expected.

[0077] In the present invention, when a portion “includes” a constituent element, unless otherwise specifically described, this does not mean that other constituent elements are excluded but means that other constituent elements may further be included.
[0078] In the present invention, "layer" has the same meaning as "film" commonly used in the art, and means a coating covering a target area. The size of the "layer" is not limited, and the sizes of the various "layers" may be the same as or different from each other. In an exemplary embodiment, the size of the "layer" may be the same as the size of the entire device, may correspond to the size of a specific functional area, and may also be as small as a single sub-pixel.

[0256] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Y1 to Y10 are the same as or different from each other, and are each independently hydrogen; deuterium; an alkyl group; or an alkoxy group.
[0257] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Y1 to Y10 are the same as or different from each other, and are each independently hydrogen; deuterium; substituted or unsubstituted methyl; substituted or unsubstituted ethyl; substituted or unsubstituted propyl; substituted or unsubstituted butyl; substituted or unsubstituted pentyl; substituted or unsubstituted hexyl; substituted or unsubstituted isopropyl; substituted or unsubstituted isobutyl; substituted or unsubstituted tert-butyl; substituted or unsubstituted methoxy; substituted or unsubstituted ethoxy; substituted or unsubstituted propoxy; or substituted or unsubstituted butoxy.

[0259] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Y1 to Y10 are the same as or different from each other, and are each independently hydrogen; deuterium; ethyl; propyl; butyl; pentyl; isopropyl; or methoxy.
[0260] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first solvent represented by Chemical Formula A is any one of the following structures.
[0261]
[0262] In the structure, Y1 to Y10 are the same as or different from each other, and are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group.
[0263] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first solvent represented by Chemical Formula A is any one or a mixed solution of two or more selected from the following compounds.
[0264]
[0265] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first solvent represented by Chemical Formula A is any one of the above structures.
[0266] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the surface tension of the first solvent represented by Chemical Formula A is 32 to 38 mN / m, and specifically, 33 to 37 mN / m, or 33.5 to 36.5 mN / m.
[0267] Since the surface tension of the first solvent represented by Chemical Formula A according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention satisfies the above range, the range of the surface tension between materials other than the first solvent represented by Chemical Formula A can be easily adjusted. Specifically, the materials (e.g., additional solvents, other organic solvents, etc.) contained in the ink composition for the solution method generally need to be composed of materials that make the surface tension of the ink composition in the range of 25mN / m to 45mN / m, and in addition, it is preferred that the surface tension difference between the materials is small. The surface tension in the range of 32mN / m to 38mN / m is close to the median of the preferred surface tension range, and therefore, when the surface tension of the first solvent represented by Chemical Formula A is in the range of 32mN / m to 38mN / m, the surface tension difference between materials other than the first solvent represented by Chemical Formula A can be adjusted to be small. When the surface tension difference between materials other than the first solvent represented by Chemical Formula A is small, the organic light-emitting device manufactured by the solution method has the advantages that the flatness of the organic material layer and the thickness uniformity of the pixel are excellent.
[0268] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first solvent represented by Chemical Formula A has a boiling point of 250°C to 350°C, 270°C to 350°C, or 280°C to 330°C.
[0269] Since the first solvent represented by the chemical formula A having a boiling point within the above range is included, it can be expected that when the organic material layer of the organic light-emitting device is manufactured by a solution method, the flatness of the organic material layer and / or the thickness uniformity of the pixels are excellent. Specifically, since the first solvent represented by the chemical formula A has the lowest vapor pressure among the constituent solvents and is therefore not removed in the initial drying step, there is an advantage that the surface tension difference between the remaining materials can be adjusted even after the initial drying step. Therefore, there is an advantage that the flatness of the organic material layer of the organic light-emitting device and / or the thickness uniformity of the pixels are excellent.

For example, the organic material layer includes an x-axis on which na pixels are arranged and a y-axis perpendicular to the x-axis and on which nb pixels are arranged, and na and nb are each 2 to 10. 4 Integer from 10 to 10 3 Integer from 20 to 10 2 An integer.

[0415] [Formula 1]
[0416] IX(i′)-X(5)|≤5nm
[0417] In formula 1,
[0418] X(i') is the average thickness from the [(nd / 2)-4]th pixel to the [(nd / 2)+5]th pixel,
[0419] X(5) is the thickness of the 5th pixel from the edge, and
[0420] When nd is an odd number, (nd / 2) is a value obtained by rounding the first digit of the decimal.
[0421] For the case where nd is an odd number, for example, when 25 pixels are used for measurement (ie, when nd is 25), X(i') is the average thickness of the 13th to 18th pixels.
[0422] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the [(nd / 2)-4]th pixel to the [(nd / 2)+5]th pixel mean pixels located at a central portion (center) of a plurality of pixels formed.
[0423] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, nd is 20 to 10 4 Integer from 20 to 10 3 or an integer from 20 to 100.

As the optical thickness measuring device, an optical profiler manufactured by Bruker or the like may be used, but the optical thickness measuring device is not limited thereto.
[0425] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, satisfying Formula 1 means that the difference between the average thickness of a pixel positioned at the center of a plurality of pixels and the thickness of a pixel positioned at the fifth position from the edge is 5 nm or less. That is, it means that there is almost no difference in thickness between the center and edge portions of the pixel. Therefore, satisfying Formula 1 means that the thickness uniformity between pixels is improved.
[0426] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the organic material layer satisfies Formula 2 below.
[0427] [Formula 2]
[0428] IX(i′)-X(4)|≤5nm
[0429] In formula 2,
[0430] X(i') is the same as defined in Formula 1, and
[0431] X(4) is the thickness of the 4th pixel from the edge.
[0432] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the organic material layer satisfies Formula 3 below.
[0433] [Formula 3]
[0434] IX(i′)-X(3)I≤5nm
[0435] In formula 3,
[0436] X(i') is the same as defined in Formula 1, and
[0437] X(3) is the thickness of the third pixel from the edge.
[0438] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in the organic material layer, a pixel satisfying the following Formula 11 exists in a second position from the edge.
[0439] [Formula 11]
[0440] IY(20)-Y(80)|≤5nm
[0441] In formula 11,
[0442] Y(20) is the height of the thin film in the portion corresponding to 20% of the pixel length, and Y(80) is the height of the thin film in the portion corresponding to 80% of the pixel length.
[0443] Satisfying Formula 11 means that in one pixel having a length Lx, the difference between the film height in a portion (0.2Lx) corresponding to 20% of the length and the film height in a portion (0.8Lx) corresponding to 80% of the length satisfies 5nm or less. That is, satisfying Formula 11 means that the film within the pixel is formed symmetrically without tilting to one side.
[0444] The fact that the pixel satisfying Formula 11 is in the second position from the edge means that among the formed pixels, the pixel on the edge side also maintains its shape and thickness. Therefore, it can be determined that the shape and thickness deviation of the pixel at the edge portion and the pixel at the center is formed into a small number.
[0445] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a pixel included in an organic material layer is excellent in both thickness uniformity among a plurality of pixels and thickness uniformity within one pixel.
[0446] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the length (Lx) of the pixel is 10 μm to 300 μm.
[0447] In the present invention, the edge means both ends on which the ink composition is printed. Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the example, when ink is printed in the direction from (a) to (b) (arrow direction), the (a) or (b) portion is indicated as an edge. Figure 7 The ink composition is shown to be applied in the longitudinal direction, but the direction in which the ink composition is applied is not limited thereto. For example, the ink may be applied in the transverse direction.

[0641] <Experimental Example A>
[0642] Example 1-1.
[0643] The ink composition 1 was printed on a substrate on which a plurality of pixels were formed in the form of lines. The printed substrate was placed in a vacuum chamber, and a high vacuum (1×10 -6 The film was cured by heat treatment in a glove box (N2 atmosphere, 230°C hot plate condition) for 30 minutes.
[0644] Figure 4 A line bank inkjet substrate is shown to which an ink composition is applied.
[0645] Figure 5 Application of an ink composition to a line bank inkjet substrate is shown.
[0646] Figure 6 The ink composition is shown to be formed as a thin film on a line bank inkjet substrate.
[0647] Figure 7 is a diagram showing a plan view of an organic material layer in which a line bank is formed. Figure 7 In FIG. 1 , the ink composition is printed in the direction from (a) to (b) (arrow direction), and in this case, the (a) or (b) portion is indicated as an edge.
[0648] Examples 1-2 to 1-45 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-24
[0649] An organic material layer was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1-1, except that the ink composition shown in Table 2 below was used instead of Ink Composition 1 in Example 1-1, and the thickness of the pixel was measured.
[0650] The following Table 2 shows that, by selecting a line among a plurality of pixels in which the ink compositions prepared in Examples 1-1 to 1-45 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-24 are formed into thin films to compare the average thickness of 10 pixels positioned at the center of the line with the thickness of pixels positioned at the edge portion of the line, a thin film having a thickness deviation of 5 nm or less is positioned at the nth pixel from the edge.
[0651] In this case, the thickness of the pixel included in the cured thin film was measured using an optical profiler (model name: Contour GT-I) manufactured by Bruker, which is an optical thickness measuring device.
[0652] Specifically, in the line bank in which 70 pixels are formed as a row, the average thickness of the 31st to 40th pixels is compared with the thickness of the i-th pixel at the edge, and the minimum value of i of ±5 nm is shown in the following Table 2. In this case, a small number of i means that the thickness is uniformly formed to a position close to the edge (that is, the thickness uniformity is improved).
[0653] [Table 2]
[0654]
[0655]
[0656]
[0657] From Table 2 above, it can be determined that in the case of Examples 1-1 to 1-45, the pixels showing ±5nm from the center average thickness are positioned at the 5th or less position from the edge, while in the case of Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-24, the pixels are positioned at the 6th or more position from the edge.
[0658] In this regard, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 1 shows the thickness uniformity characteristics of a pixel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Fig. 9 shows the thickness uniformity of the pixels measured in Example 1-1, and Fig.10 Graph 1-1 shows the thickness uniformity of the pixels measured in Comparative Example 1-1. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In FIG. 1 , the horizontal axis means the pitch between pixels (μm), and the vertical axis means the thickness of the pixel (nm). Fig. 9 and Fig.10 , it can be determined that in Example 1-1 ( Figure 8 ), the number of pixels in which the thin film is formed thick even at the edge portion is small, whereas in Comparative Example 1-1 ( Fig.10 ), the number of pixels in which the film is formed thick increases toward the edge portion, and the thickness of the film also becomes larger.
[0659] Thus, it can be seen that when the ink composition according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is used, the thickness uniformity is improved. Therefore, when the ink composition is used in an organic material layer in an organic light-emitting device, etc., by reducing the factors that affect the interference conditions of the emitted light according to the thickness, excellent luminescence and / or color rendering effects can be expected. In contrast, when an ink composition that does not conform to the present invention is used, the thickness difference between pixels is large, and the thickness uniformity is uneven, so that when the ink composition is applied to an organic material layer in an organic light-emitting device, etc., it can be expected that the performance of the device will deteriorate.
[0660] Example 2-1.
[0661] The ink composition 1 was printed on a substrate on which 30×60 pixels were formed. The printed substrate was placed in a vacuum chamber, and a high vacuum (1×10 -6The film was cured by heat treatment in a glove box (N2 atmosphere, 230°C hot plate condition) for 30 minutes.
[0662] Figure 8 is a diagram showing a plan view of an organic material layer in which a separation bank is formed. Figure 8 In FIG. 1 , the ink composition is printed in the direction from (a) to (b) (arrow direction), and in this case, the (a) or (b) portion is indicated as an edge.
[0663] Examples 2-2 to 2-27 and Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-14
[0664] An organic material layer was prepared in the same manner as in Example 2-1, except that the ink composition shown in Table 3 below was used instead of Ink Composition 1 in Example 2-1, and the film height step in the pixel was measured.
[0665] In this case, the thin film height step in the pixel was measured using an optical profiler manufactured by Bruker (model name: Contour GT-I), which is a thin film thickness measuring device.
[0666] The film height step between the portion corresponding to 20% of the pixel length and the portion corresponding to 80% of the pixel length in one pixel was measured, and the minimum value of i of ±5 nm is shown in the following Table 3. In this case, i means the i-th pixel from the edge. In addition, a small value of i means that the thickness of the film in the pixel is uniformly formed to a position close to the edge (that is, the thickness uniformity is improved).
[0667] [Table 3]
[0668]
[0669]
[0670] The fact that the height step between the portion corresponding to 20% of the pixel length and the portion corresponding to 80% of the pixel length is ±5 nm (ie, the absolute value of the height difference is 5 nm or less) means that the thickness of the thin film is formed uniform in the pixel.
[0671] From Table 3, it can be confirmed that in Examples 2-1 to 2-27, the thin film in the pixel is symmetrically formed without being inclined to one side even at the pixel closer to the edge portion, compared with Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-14. That is, it can be confirmed that when the ink composition according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is applied, the thickness of the thin film is formed to be uniform even at the pixel closer to the edge, compared with when other ink compositions are applied.
[0672] Thus, in the ink composition of the present invention, since the ink composition is used in an organic material layer in an organic light-emitting device, etc., excellent light emission and / or color development effects can be expected by reducing factors that affect interference conditions of emitted light according to thickness. In contrast, when an ink composition not conforming to the present invention is used, a thin film on the edge side is not formed uniformly, so that when the ink composition is applied to an organic material layer in an organic light-emitting device, etc., it can be expected that the performance of the device will deteriorate.
[0673] <Experimental Example B>
[0674] Example 3-1.
[0675] The film is coated with A glass substrate with a thickness of ITO (indium tin oxide) and patterned with a hydrophobic embankment was washed with distilled water for 30 minutes and then dried on a hot plate at 230°C for 10 minutes. The ink composition 1 in Table 1 was inkjet printed on the washed substrate with a patterned embankment and heat treated at 230°C for 30 minutes to form a hole injection layer with a thickness of 30nm. A hole transport layer with a thickness of 40nm was formed on the hole injection layer by inkjet printing of an ink prepared by dissolving the following α-NPD compound in cyclohexylbenzene at a concentration of 2% by weight. Thereafter, the glass substrate was transferred to a vacuum deposition machine, and the following ADN compound and the following DPAVBi compound were vacuum deposited on the hole transport layer at a weight ratio of 20:1 (ADN:DPAVBi) to have a thickness of 20nm, thereby forming a light-emitting layer. The following BCP compound was vacuum deposited on the light-emitting layer to have a thickness of 35nm, thereby forming an electron injection and transport layer. A cathode was formed on the electron injection and transport layer by sequentially depositing LiF and aluminum to have thicknesses of 1 nm and 100 nm, respectively, thereby manufacturing an organic light emitting device.
[0676]
[0677] Examples 3-2 to 3-46.
[0678] An organic light-emitting device was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 3-1, except that the ink composition in Table 4 below was used instead of Ink Composition 1 in Example 3-1.
[0679] [Table 4]
[0680]
[0681]
[0682] It was confirmed that the organic light emitting devices manufactured in Examples 3-1 to 3-46 were driven. Thus, it was confirmed that the ink composition according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the organic light emitting device.
[0683] Comparative Examples 3-1 to 3-4.
[0684] Ink compositions 72 to 75 were prepared in the same manner as in Preparation Example 1, except that the materials shown in the following Table 5 were each used instead of Compound H-1, Compound DA, the first solvent, and the additional solvent.
[0685] Thereafter, an organic light-emitting device was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 3-1, except that the ink composition in the following Table 6 was used instead of the ink composition 1 in Example 3-1.
[0686] The structures of compounds X-1 to X-4 used in the following Table 5 are as follows.
[0687]
[0688] [Table 5]
[0689]
[0690] The efficiency and lifespan values of the organic light emitting devices manufactured in Examples 3-1, 3-17, 3-29 and 3-31 and the organic light emitting devices manufactured in Comparative Examples 3-1 to 3-4 were compared and shown in Table 6 below.
[0691] The relative efficiency values and relative service life values in Table 6 below were obtained as follows.
[0692] *Relative efficiency value: Efficiency of Example X / Efficiency of Examples 3-29
[0693] *T95 relative value: T95 of Example X / T95 of Examples 3-29
[0694] (Example X: Examples 3-1, 3-17, 3-29 and 3-31, and Comparative Examples 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 or 3-4)
[0695] In this case, T95 means lifetime, and is a value measured as the time taken to reach 95% of the initial brightness under a constant current condition of 1000 nits.

[0698] As can be seen from Tables 5 and 6, when the host is changed in the ink composition of the present specification, the efficiency and lifespan of the organic light emitting device are deteriorated.
