Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of organic photoelectric materials, and in particular relates to an organic electroluminescent material and an organic electroluminescent device containing the same. Background Art

[0002] OLED is a self-luminous solid-state device that offers great potential for display and lighting applications. OLEDs can be divided into three different types based on their light-emitting mechanism. The OLED invented by Tang and van Slyke is a fluorescent OLED. Because it only uses singlet states to emit light, the triplet states generated in the device are wasted through non-radiative decay channels. Therefore, the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of fluorescent OLEDs is only 25%, which has hindered the commercialization of OLEDs.

[0003] In 1997, Forrest and Thompson reported phosphorescent OLEDs that used triplet emission from heavy metal containing complexes as emitters to enable harvesting of singlet and triplet states, achieving an IQE of 100%. Due to its high efficiency, the discovery and development of phosphorescent OLEDs directly contributed to the commercialization of active matrix OLEDs (AMOLEDs).

[0004] At present, green phosphorescent materials still have the problems of low luminescent quantum efficiency and poor color purity. The main reason for this situation is that phosphorescence comes from the transition between energy levels with a narrow energy gap, and there are certain difficulties in the design of ligands for narrow-bandgap heavy metal complexes. Secondly, there is a strong π-π bond interaction in the system of phosphorescent materials, and there is a strong charge transfer characteristic between ligands, which makes more radiation-free relaxation channels exist in the narrow band gap, aggravates the quenching of phosphors, and reduces the quantum yield and molecular stability of phosphorescent systems. Therefore, designing and synthesizing green phosphorescent materials with excellent comprehensive performance will become an important topic in the research of organic electroluminescent materials.
