Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electroluminescent materials, and in particular to an organic compound, a polymer, a mixture and a composition thereof, and applications thereof in organic electronic devices, in particular in electroluminescent devices. Background Art

[0002] Organic semiconductor materials have great potential for application in optoelectronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), such as flat-panel displays and lighting, due to their structural diversity, relatively low manufacturing costs, and superior optoelectronic properties.

[0003] Organic electroluminescence refers to the phenomenon of converting electrical energy into light energy using organic substances. Organic electroluminescent elements that use organic electroluminescence usually have an anode and a cathode and a structure containing an organic layer between them. In order to improve the efficiency and life of the organic electroluminescent element, the organic layer has a multilayer structure, and each layer contains different organic substances. Specifically, it can include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc. In this organic electroluminescent element, when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, holes are injected into the organic layer from the anode, and electrons are injected into the organic layer from the cathode. When the injected holes meet the electrons, excitons are formed, and light is emitted when the excitons transition back to the ground state. This organic electroluminescent element has the characteristics of self-luminescence, high brightness, high efficiency, low driving voltage, wide viewing angle, high contrast, and high responsiveness.

[0004] In order to improve the luminous performance of organic light-emitting diodes and promote the large-scale industrialization of organic light-emitting diodes, various organic optoelectronic material systems have been widely developed. However, although the existing materials have advantages in terms of luminous efficiency, they cannot achieve a satisfactory lifespan. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide an organic compound, a polymer, a mixture and a composition containing the same, and related organic electronic components, aiming to solve the problem of low performance, especially low lifespan, of existing organic electronic devices.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] An organic compound having a structure as shown in general formula (I):

[0008]

[0009] in:

[0010] Ring A is selected from a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic or heteroaromatic group having 5 to 60 ring atoms, or an aryloxy or heteroaryloxy group having 5 to 60 ring atoms, or a combination of these groups;

[0011] X are independently represented by N or CR1, and at least one X is N;

[0012] V1 is represented by CR2 or N;

[0013] V2 is represented by CR3 or N;

[0014] R1, R2, R3, at each occurrence, may be selected, identically or differently, from H, D, or a straight-chain alkyl, alkoxy or thioalkoxy group having 1 to 20 C atoms, or a branched or cyclic alkyl, alkoxy, thioalkoxy or silyl group having 3 to 20 C atoms, or a substituted keto group having 1 to 20 C atoms, or an alkoxycarbonyl group having 2 to 20 C atoms, or an aryloxycarbonyl group having 7 to 20 C atoms, or a cyano group, a carbamoyl group, or a cyclopentyl group. The invention further comprises a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system having 5 to 40 ring atoms, a haloformyl group, a formyl group, an isocyanate group, an isocyanate group, a thiocyanate group, an isothiocyanate group, a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, a CF3 group, a Cl group, a Br group, a F group, a crosslinkable group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system having 5 to 40 ring atoms, or an aryloxy or heteroaryloxy group having 5 to 40 ring atoms, or a combination of these groups, wherein one or more of the groups can form a monocyclic or polycyclic aliphatic or aromatic ring system with each other and / or with the ring to which the groups are bonded.

[0015] The present invention also relates to a polymer comprising at least one repeating unit, wherein the repeating unit comprises a structure corresponding to the organic compound as described above.

[0016] The present invention further relates to a mixture comprising a first organic compound (H1) and a second organic compound (H2), wherein the first organic compound (H1) comprises at least one organic compound as described above, the second organic compound (H2) has hole transport properties, and the molar ratio of the first organic compound (H1) to the second organic compound (H2) ranges from 1:9 to 9:1.

[0017] The present invention further relates to a composition comprising an organic compound or polymer or mixture as described above, and at least one organic solvent.

[0018] The present invention further relates to an organic electronic device comprising at least one organic compound or polymer or mixture as described above.

[0019] Beneficial effect: According to the organic compound of the present invention, triphenylsilicon group is used as a modifying group to modify triazine carbazole. The triphenylsilicon group can not only increase the steric hindrance of the compound, reduce the quenching effect caused by accumulation in the device, and improve the device efficiency, but also can utilize the hyperconjugation effect of Si atoms to reduce the triplet energy level of the host compound to a suitable position, which is more matched with the triplet energy level of the guest. However, if triphenylsilicon is directly connected to carbazole, the bond energy of carbazole connected to triazine will be reduced, which will reduce the device life. Therefore, it is very necessary to introduce a conjugated group on carbazole to reduce the influence of triphenylsilicon on the bond energy. Therefore, after first introducing a conjugated group on carbazole, it is better to introduce tetraphenylsilicon than directly connecting triphenylsilicon to triazine, and the main reason is that the influence of triphenylsilicon can be minimized to improve the device efficiency. In addition, the performance of the above-mentioned compound is further adjusted by adjusting different conjugated groups, so that the above-mentioned organic compound can be used not only as a blue light host material, but also as an electron transmission material or a green light material.

[0147] 3. TADF materials

[0148] Traditional organic fluorescent materials can only utilize 25% of the singlet excitons formed by electrical excitation to emit light, and the internal quantum efficiency of the device is low (up to 25%). Although phosphorescent materials can effectively utilize singlet excitons and triplet excitons formed by electrical excitation to emit light due to the strong spin-orbit coupling of the heavy atom center, the internal quantum efficiency of the device can reach 100%. However, the expensive phosphorescent materials, poor material stability, and serious device efficiency roll-off limit their application in OLEDs. Thermally activated delayed fluorescence luminescent materials are the third generation of organic light-emitting materials developed after organic fluorescent materials and organic phosphorescent materials. This type of material generally has a small singlet-triplet energy level difference (ΔEst), and triplet excitons can be transformed into singlet excitons through anti-intersystem crossing. This can make full use of singlet excitons and triplet excitons formed under electrical excitation. The internal quantum efficiency of the device can reach 100%. At the same time, the material structure is controllable, the properties are stable, the price is cheap, and no precious metals are required, and the application prospects in the field of OLED are broad.

[0149] TADF materials need to have a small singlet-triplet energy level difference, preferably ΔEst < 0.3 eV, second best ΔEst < 0.2 eV, and most preferably ΔEst < 0.1 eV. In a preferred embodiment, the TADF material has a relatively small ΔEst. In another preferred embodiment, TADF has a good fluorescence quantum efficiency.

[0221] The energy levels of organic materials can be obtained by quantum calculation, such as using TD-DFT (time-dependent density functional theory) through Gaussian 09W (Gaussian Inc.), and the specific simulation method can be found in WO2011141110. First, the molecular geometry is optimized using the semi-empirical method "Ground State / Semi-empirical / Default Spin / AM1" (Charge 0 / Spin Singlet), and then the energy structure of the organic molecule is calculated by the TD-DFT (time-dependent density functional theory) method "TD-SCF / DFT / Default Spin / B3PW91" and the basis set "6-31G(d)" (Charge 0 / Spin Singlet). The HOMO and LUMO energy levels are calculated according to the following calibration formula, and S1 and T1 are used directly.

[0222] HOMO(eV)=((HOMO(G)×27.212)-0.9899) / 1.1206

[0223] LUMO(eV)=((LUMO(G)×27.212)-2.0041) / 1.385

[0224] HOMO(G) and LUMO(G) are the direct calculation results of Gaussian 09W, and the unit is Hartree. The results are shown in Table 1:

[0227] 3. Preparation and characterization of OLED devices

[0228]

[0229]

[0230] The preparation process of the above-mentioned OLED device is described in detail below through a specific embodiment. The structure of the blue OLED device is: ITO / HI / HT-1 / PH-1 / EML / ET-2 / ET-1:Liq / Liq / Al. The preparation steps of device embodiment 1 are as follows:

[0231] a. Cleaning of ITO (indium tin oxide) conductive glass substrate: Use various solvents (such as one or more of chloroform, acetone or isopropyl alcohol) for cleaning, and then perform ultraviolet ozone treatment.

[0232] b. HI (10 nm), HT-1 (60 nm), HT-2 (5 nm), main material: 10% BD (35 nm), ET-2 (5 nm), ET-1: Liq (50:50; 30 nm), Liq (2 nm), Al (100 nm) in high vacuum (1 × 10 -6 The ITO substrate was moved into a vacuum vapor deposition device and heated in a high vacuum (1×10 -6 mbar), a resistive heating evaporation source is used to form a HI layer with a thickness of 10nm, and a 60nm HT-1 and a 5nm PH-1 layer are heated on the HI layer in sequence. Then, the N-type main body is placed in one evaporation unit, the PH-1 is placed in one evaporation unit, and the compound BD is placed in another evaporation unit as a dopant, and the materials are vaporized at different rates so that the weight ratio of the main body: the dopant is 90:10 (wherein for the case of using two main bodies, the weight ratio of the N-type main body: PH-1: BD is 45:45:10), and a 35nm light-emitting layer is formed on the hole transport layer. Then, a 5nm ET-2 layer is deposited on the light-emitting layer; then, ET-1 and Liq are placed in different evaporation units, and they are co-deposited at a ratio of 50 weight % respectively to form a 30nm electron transport layer, and then 2nm Liq is deposited on the electron transport layer as an electron injection layer, and finally an Al cathode with a thickness of 100nm is deposited on the electron injection layer.

[0233] c. Packaging: The device is packaged with UV-curable resin in a nitrogen glove box.

[0234] The device performance of the above embodiment and comparative example was tested, as shown in Table 2; the current efficiency is 10mA / cm 2 The test is conducted under current density, relative to the value of the comparative example; the device life LT95@1000nits refers to the time it takes for the brightness to decay to 95% when the initial brightness is 1000nits under constant current density, relative to the value of the comparative example.

[0235] The implementation method of device example 2 to device example 12 is the same as that of device example 1, except that different main body and co-main body combinations are used to replace compound 1 (wherein the co-main body refers to two compounds placed in different evaporation units respectively, and the weight ratio of the materials is controlled to be 50:50), and different dopants (BD-1 or BD or BD-3) are used in combination.

[0236] Table 2

[0237]

[0238]

[0239] The performance of blue light OLED device is summarized in the above table 2. After testing, the device performance, especially the life span, is significantly improved by using the organic compound of the present invention and its mixture. It can be seen from the comparison device of ref-1 that it is necessary to introduce tetraphenylsilicon group. Tetraphenylsilicon group can not only increase the steric hindrance of the compound to reduce the quenching effect caused by accumulation in the device, improve the device efficiency, but also can utilize the hyperconjugation effect of Si atom to reduce the triplet energy level of the host compound to a suitable position to match the triplet energy level of the guest. In addition, it can be seen from the comparison with ref-2 that if triphenylsilicon is directly connected to carbazole, the bond energy of carbazole connected to triazine will be reduced, so that the device life span will decrease. Therefore, it is very necessary to introduce a conjugated group on carbazole to reduce the influence of triphenylsilicon on bond energy. It can be seen from the comparison with ref-3 that it is better to introduce tetraphenylsilicon on carbazole than to connect triphenylsilicon directly to triazine, and the main reason is that the influence of triphenylsilicon can be minimized to improve the device efficiency. From ref-4 and ref-5, we can see that the introduction of phenyl groups in blue light devices causes the triplet energy level of the main body to drop too much, which is not suitable for the preparation of blue light devices with low CIEy values. By comparing with ref-6, we can see that the introduction of cyano electron-withdrawing groups on the periphery of carbazole will greatly lower the HOMO energy level of the molecule, making hole injection more difficult, greatly affecting the turn-on voltage and life of the device.

[0240]

[0241] The preparation process of the green light OLED device is described in detail below through a specific embodiment. The structure of the green light OLED device is: ITO / HI / HT-1 / HT-2 / EML / ET-2 / ET-1:Liq / Liq / Al. The preparation steps of device embodiment 13 are as follows:

Compound 1 is then placed in one evaporation unit, and compound GD is placed in another evaporation unit as a dopant, so that the materials are vaporized at different rates, so that the weight ratio of the main body: compound GD is 90:10, and a 40 nm light-emitting layer is formed on the hole transport layer. ET and Liq are then placed in different evaporation units, and co-deposited at a ratio of 50 weight %, respectively, to form a 30 nm electron transport layer on the light-emitting layer, and then 2 nm Liq is deposited on the electron transport layer as an electron injection layer, and finally a 100 nm thick Al cathode is deposited on the electron injection layer.

[0244] c. Packaging: The device is encapsulated with UV-curable resin in a nitrogen glove box.

[0245] The implementation method of device examples 14 to 17 is the same as that of device example 13, except that compound 1 is replaced by different hosts and different co-hosts (wherein co-host means that two compounds are placed in different evaporation units respectively, and the weight ratio of the deposited materials is controlled by rate setting).
