Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0099953 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on July 31, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to a light emitting element, a condensed polycyclic compound used in the light emitting element, and a display device including the light emitting element. Background Art

[0004] Active development of organic electroluminescent display devices as image display devices continues. Compared with liquid crystal display devices and the like, organic electroluminescent display devices are so-called self-luminous display devices in which holes and electrons injected from the first electrode and the second electrode are recombined in the emission layer, so that the light-emitting material including the organic compound in the emission layer emits light to realize display.

[0005] When organic electroluminescent elements are applied to display devices, organic electroluminescent elements having low driving voltage, high luminous efficiency, and long service life are required, and materials for organic electroluminescent elements that can stably achieve these characteristics need to be continuously developed.

[0006] In order to realize efficient organic electroluminescent elements, technologies involving phosphorescence emission using triplet energy or fluorescence emission using triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) in which singlet excitons are generated by collision of triplet excitons are being developed. Currently being developed are thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials using the delayed fluorescence phenomenon.

[0007] It should be understood that this background section is intended, in part, to provide a useful background for understanding the technology. However, this background section may also include ideas, concepts, or perceptions that are not part of what was known or understood by a person skilled in the relevant art prior to the corresponding effective filing date of the subject matter disclosed herein.

[0134] The present disclosure will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which embodiments are shown. However, the present disclosure may be implemented in different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Instead, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0135] In the drawings, the size, thickness, ratio, and dimensions of elements may be exaggerated for ease of description and clarity. The same reference numerals and reference letters refer to the same elements throughout.

[0136] In the specification, it will be understood that when an element (or region, layer, component, etc.) is referred to as being "on" another element, "connected to" or "coupled to" another element, it may be directly on, directly connected to or coupled to the other element, or one or more intervening elements may be present between them. In a similar sense, when an element (or region, layer, component, etc.) is described as "covering" another element, it may directly cover the other element, or one or more intervening elements may be present between them.

[0137] In the specification, when an element is "directly on," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another element, there are no intervening elements. For example, "directly on" may mean that two layers or two elements are disposed without an additional layer or additional element, such as an adhesive layer or adhesive element, between them.

[0138] As used herein, expressions used in the singular such as “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0139] As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. For example, "A and / or B" may be understood to mean "A, B, or A and B". The terms "and" and "or" may be used in a conjunctive or disjunctive sense and may be understood to be equivalent to "and / or".

[0140] In the specification and claims, for the purpose of its meaning and interpretation, the term "at least one of..." is intended to include the meaning of "at least one selected from the group consisting of..." For example, "at least one of A, B, and C" can be understood to mean only A, only B, only C, or any combination of two or more of A, B, and C, such as ABC, ACC, BC, or CC. When the term "at least one of" precedes or follows a list of elements, it modifies the entire list of elements, rather than the individual elements in the list.

[0141] It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. can be used in this article to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another element. Therefore, without departing from the teaching of the present disclosure, the first element can be referred to as the second element. Similarly, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the second element can be referred to as the first element.

[0142] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "below", "below", "lower", "above", or "upper" may be used herein to describe the relationship between one element or component and another element or component as shown in the figure. It will be understood that, in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings, spatially relative terms are intended to cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, in the case of flipping the device shown in the drawings, a device that is "below" or "below" another device may be "above" another device. Therefore, the exemplary term "below" may include both a lower position and an upper position. The device may also be oriented in other directions, and therefore the spatially relative terms may be interpreted differently depending on the orientation.

[0143] The terms "about" or "approximately" as used herein include the stated value and mean within an acceptable range of deviation from the stated value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, taking into account the measurements in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the stated quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "about" can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±20%, ±10%, or ±5% of the stated value.

[0144] It should be understood that the terms “comprises / comprising,” “inclues / including,” “have / having,” and “contains / containing” and the like are intended to specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof in the present disclosure, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

[0145] Unless otherwise defined or implied herein, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. It will be further understood that, unless explicitly defined in the specification, terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art, and should not be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense.

[0146] In the specification, the term "substituted or unsubstituted" can describe a group substituted or unsubstituted by at least one substituent, and the substituent is selected from the group consisting of deuterium atoms, halogen atoms, cyano groups, nitro groups, amino groups, amido groups, silyl groups, oxy groups, sulfenyl groups, sulfinyl groups, sulfonyl groups, carbonyl groups, boron groups, phosphine oxide groups, phosphine sulfide groups, alkyl groups, alkenyl groups, alkynyl groups, hydrocarbon ring groups, aryl groups and heterocyclic groups. Each substituent listed above can itself be substituted or unsubstituted. For example, biphenyl can be interpreted as an aryl group, or it can be interpreted as a phenyl substituted by a phenyl group.

[0147] In the specification, the term "bonded to an adjacent group to form a ring" may be interpreted as a group bonded to an adjacent group to form a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon ring or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic ring. The hydrocarbon ring may be aliphatic or aromatic. The heterocyclic ring may be aliphatic or aromatic. The hydrocarbon ring and the heterocyclic ring may each independently be a monocyclic or polycyclic ring. The ring formed by the adjacent groups bonded to each other may itself be connected to another ring to form a spirocyclic structure.

[0148] In the specification, the term "adjacent group" may be interpreted as a substituent that replaces an atom directly connected to the atom substituted by the corresponding substituent, as another substituent that replaces the atom substituted by the corresponding substituent, or as a substituent that is spatially located closest to the corresponding substituent. For example, the two methyl groups in 1,2-dimethylbenzene may be interpreted as "adjacent groups" to each other, and the two ethyl groups in 1,1-diethylcyclopentane may be interpreted as "adjacent groups" to each other. For example, the two methyl groups in 4,5-dimethylphenanthrene may be interpreted as "adjacent groups" to each other.

[0250] The condensed polycyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may have a structure in which the first substituent is linked to the condensed ring core, and thus may achieve high luminous efficiency and long lifetime.

[0251] The fused polycyclic compound according to the embodiment includes a five-ring fused ring core in which the first to third aromatic rings are fused via a boron atom, a first nitrogen atom, and a second nitrogen atom. The fused polycyclic compound includes a first substituent connected to the first aromatic ring of the fused ring core. The fused polycyclic compound represented by Formula 1 includes the first substituent, and thus can achieve high luminous efficiency and long service life.

[0252] The first substituent includes a first indole and carbazole moiety. The first substituent is connected to the first aromatic ring of the fused ring core via the nitrogen atom of the first indole and carbazole moiety. The indole and carbazole moiety has the characteristics of a rigid molecular structure, excellent morphological stability and thermal durability, and therefore the indole and carbazole moiety is included in the fused polycyclic compound, thereby serving to improve the chemical stability of the entire molecule. Due to the unshared electron pair of the nitrogen atom in the indole and carbazole moiety, the first substituent has an electron donor property and can be connected to the fused ring core including boron as a donor. The indole and carbazole moiety has a stronger donor property than the carbazole group, and therefore ΔE can be reduced. ST The first substituent is connected to the first aromatic ring of the fused ring core, and the nitrogen atom of the first indolocarbazole portion of the first substituent is connected at the para position of the boron atom, thereby improving the electron donor property and further improving the multi-resonance effect.

[0253] The fused polycyclic compound can effectively maintain the triangular planar structure of the boron atom by the steric hindrance effect due to the first substituent. The boron atom may have electron-deficient characteristics through an empty p-orbital, thereby forming a bond with other nucleophiles and thus changing to a tetrahedral structure, which may cause degradation of the device. According to an embodiment, the fused polycyclic compound has a first substituent connected to the fused ring core, thereby effectively protecting the empty p-orbital of the boron atom, and thus preventing degradation due to structural changes to a tetrahedral configuration.

[0254] Condensed polycyclic compounds can help improve luminous efficiency, because the intermolecular interaction can be suppressed by the steric hindrance effect of the first substituent, thereby controlling the formation of aggregates, excimers or excimers. Because the fused polycyclic compound represented by Formula 1 has a huge structure, the distance between molecules can be increased to reduce Dexter energy transfer, thereby suppressing the increase in the concentration of triplet excitons in the fused polycyclic compound. High concentrations of triplet excitons remain excited for a long period of time, and therefore may cause compound decomposition, thereby leading to the generation of hot excitons with high energy by triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA), thereby causing the destruction of the surrounding compound structure. Because TTA is a bimolecular reaction, it depletes triplet excitons for luminescence at a high speed, so the non-radiative transition of triplet excitons may lead to a reduction in luminous efficiency. The distance between molecules of the fused polycyclic compound increases due to the first substituent, thereby suppressing Dexter energy transfer, and therefore the degradation of the service life caused by the increase in the concentration of triplet excitons can be suppressed. Therefore, when the condensed polycyclic compound is applied to the emission layer EML of the light emitting element ED, the light emitting efficiency can be improved and the device lifespan can also be improved.

[0255] The fused polycyclic compound of the embodiment may include a first substituent, thereby exhibiting a relatively low higher excited triplet energy level (Tn energy level, wherein n is 2 or greater) adjacent to the lowest excited singlet energy level (S1 energy level). For example, the fused polycyclic compound may include a first substituent, thereby exhibiting a relatively low second excited triplet energy level (T2 energy level) and a relatively low third excited triplet energy level (T3 energy level). In an embodiment, for the fused polycyclic compound represented by Formula 1, the difference (ΔE) between the lowest excited singlet energy level (S1 energy level) and the higher excited triplet energy level (Tn energy level, wherein n is 2 or greater) adjacent to the lowest excited singlet energy level (S1 energy level) is 2. S1Tn ) may be equal to or less than about 0.4 eV. For example, for a fused polycyclic compound including a first substituent, a difference between a lowest excited singlet energy level (S1 energy level) and a second excited triplet energy level (T2 energy level) may be equal to or less than about 0.4 eV.

[0256] The compound exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties exhibits delayed fluorescence when intersystem crossing (ISC) (wherein the exciton is transferred from the lowest singlet energy level to the triplet energy level) and reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) (wherein the exciton is transferred from the triplet energy level to the lowest singlet energy level) and the compound is transformed from the singlet energy level to the ground state. The thermally activated delayed fluorescence mechanism may include not only passing through the lowest triplet energy level (T1 energy level) but also passing through a higher triplet energy level (Tn energy level) during intersystem crossing (ISC) and reverse intersystem crossing (RISC). The fused polycyclic compound may include a first substituent, thereby exhibiting a low higher excited triplet energy level (Tn energy level) adjacent to the lowest excited singlet energy level (S1 energy level), and thus increasing spin flipping. In the specification, spin flipping can describe a phenomenon in which an exciton of a higher excited triplet energy level (Tn energy level) is transferred to the lowest excited triplet energy level (S1 energy level) by spin-orbit coupling (SOC) between the lowest excited triplet energy level (S1 energy level) and the higher excited triplet energy level (Tn energy level) adjacent thereto. Therefore, because the fused polycyclic compound exhibits a low higher excited triplet energy level (Tn energy level) adjacent to the lowest excited triplet energy level (S1 energy level), the speed of reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) from the higher excited triplet energy level (Tn energy level) to the lowest singlet energy level (S1 energy level) can be increased, and the delayed fluorescence lifetime (Tau) can be shortened, thereby improving luminous efficiency and lifetime characteristics.

[0258] [Formula 2-a]

[0275] In the embodiment, in Formula 3, Ar 3 It can be a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl. For example, in the first substituent, the nitrogen atom of the first indole and carbazole moiety can be connected to the fused ring core, and another nitrogen atom can be connected to a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl. Due to the relatively large volume of the phenyl group, the effect of protecting the boron atom and inhibiting Dexter energy transfer by the first substituent in the fused polycyclic compound can be further improved.

If the light emitting element ED includes a plurality of emission layers, at least one emission layer EML may include a first compound represented by Formula 1.

[0505] In the emission layer EML, the total amount of the second compound and the third compound may be the remainder of the total weight of the first compound, the second compound, the third compound, and the fourth compound excluding the amounts of the first compound and the fourth compound.

If the amount of the second compound and the third compound deviates from the above range and ratio, the charge balance in the emission layer EML may not be achieved, so that the luminous efficiency may be reduced, and the device may be easily degraded.

[0508] If the emission layer EML includes a fourth compound, the amount of the fourth compound in the emission layer EML may be in the range of about 4 wt % to 30 wt % based on the total weight of the first compound, the second compound, the third compound, and the fourth compound. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto. If the amount of the fourth compound satisfies the above range, the energy transfer from the host to the first compound as a light-emitting dopant may be increased, so that the emission ratio may be improved. Therefore, the emission efficiency of the emission layer EML may be improved. If the amounts of the first compound, the second compound, the third compound, and the fourth compound included in the emission layer EML satisfy the above range and ratio, excellent luminous efficiency and long life may be achieved.

[0746]

[0747] (Evaluation of Light Emitting Element Characteristics)

[0748] The element efficiency and element service life of the light-emitting elements manufactured using the example compounds 19, compound 74, compound 81 and compound 151 described above and the comparative example compounds C1 to C4 were evaluated. The evaluation results of the light-emitting elements in Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8 are listed in Table 1. In the characteristic evaluation results of the examples and comparative examples listed in Table 1, the driving voltage and current density were measured by using a V7000 OLED IVL test system (Polaronix). In order to evaluate the characteristics of the light-emitting elements manufactured in Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8, the current density at 10 mA / cm 2 The driving voltage (V) and luminous efficiency (cd / A) at a current density of 10 mA / cm 2 The degradation time from the initial value to 95% luminance when continuously operated at a current density of 1.5 Å was compared with that of Comparative Example 1 and evaluated.

[0749] [Table 1]

[0750]

[0751]

[0752] Referring to the results of Table 1, it can be confirmed that the light emitting element of the example in which the condensed polycyclic compound according to the embodiment is used as the light emitting material exhibits a low driving voltage and has improved light emitting efficiency and lifetime characteristics compared to the comparative example.

[0753] The example compounds each include a first substituent linked to a first aromatic ring of a condensed ring core, and thus can effectively protect a boron atom, thereby achieving high luminous efficiency and long lifetime.

[0754] The example compounds each include a first substituent including an indole and carbazole moiety in a planar skeleton structure centered on a boron atom. The indole and carbazole moiety may be connected to a first aromatic ring connected to a boron atom in a fused ring core, and the indole and carbazole moiety may be connected at the para position of the boron atom. In detail, the nitrogen atom of the indole and carbazole moiety may be connected to the fused ring core. Therefore, due to the improvement of the electron donor properties of the indole and carbazole moiety, the fused polycyclic compound may have an improved multiple resonance effect, and therefore it may be expected that it has a highly improved delayed fluorescence luminescence characteristic. The example compounds may improve luminous efficiency, and may suppress the red shift of the emission wavelength, because intermolecular interactions may be suppressed by introducing the first substituent, thereby controlling the formation of an excimer or an excimer complex. The example compounds each have an increase in the distance between adjacent molecules due to a large steric hindrance structure, thereby suppressing Dexter energy transfer, and therefore the degradation of the service life caused by the increase in triplet exciton concentration may be suppressed. The light emitting element according to the example includes the condensed polycyclic compound according to the example compound as a light emitting dopant of a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) light emitting element, and thus can achieve high element efficiency in a blue wavelength region such as a deep blue wavelength region.

[0755] Compared with the examples, Comparative Examples 1 and 5 show the results that the driving voltage is high and the service life and efficiency of the element are reduced. The comparative example compound C1 included in Comparative Examples 1 and 5 includes a fused ring structure centered on one boron atom and two nitrogen atoms, but does not include the first substituent according to the embodiment in the fused ring skeleton, and therefore the effect of spatially protecting the boron atom within the planar structure of the fused ring core is reduced, and it is difficult to expect the inhibition of the intermolecular interaction effect, etc. Therefore, it can be confirmed that when applied to the element, the comparative example compound C1 has a high driving voltage and reduced luminous efficiency and service life compared with the examples.

[0756] When comparing Comparative Examples 2 and 6 with the examples, it can be seen that the comparative example compound C2 included in Comparative Examples 2 and 6 has a structure in which the indole and carbazole moiety is connected to a fused ring core centered on a boron atom, but includes an oxygen atom instead of a nitrogen atom as a fused ring constituent atom, and thus the luminous efficiency and service life are reduced compared to the examples. In the case of a polycyclic compound that does not include a nitrogen atom as a fused ring constituent atom such as the comparative example compound C2, the multiple resonance effect is reduced compared to the examples, and thus the luminous efficiency is reduced. In contrast, in the fused polycyclic compound according to the embodiment, including a nitrogen atom as an atom constituting the fused ring core and introducing a first substituent at the fused ring core can achieve high luminous efficiency and long service life in the blue light wavelength region.

[0757] Compared with the examples, Comparative Examples 3 and Comparative Examples 7 show the results of high driving voltage and reduced element service life and efficiency. Comparative Example Compound C3 included in Comparative Examples 3 and Comparative Examples 7 includes a fused ring structure centered on a boron atom and two nitrogen atoms, but does not include the first substituent according to the embodiment in the fused ring skeleton, and therefore when applied to the element, Comparative Example Compound C3 contributes to high driving voltage and reduced luminous efficiency and service life compared with the examples. Comparative Example Compound C3 is different from the example compound in that the carbazole portion is substituted at the position where the indole and carbazole portion of the first substituent according to the embodiment is substituted. Because the carbazole portion does not have enough effect of spatially protecting the fused ring core, the effect of reducing intermolecular interactions or inhibiting Dexter energy transfer to reduce the concentration of triplet excitons is reduced compared with the examples.

[0758] Compared with the examples, Comparative Examples 4 and Comparative Examples 8 show the results of high driving voltage and reduced element life and efficiency. Compared with the example compounds, the comparative example compound C4 included in Comparative Examples 4 and Comparative Examples 8 has different indole and carbazole part connection positions. In the fused polycyclic compound represented by Formula 1 according to the embodiment, the positions A1 and A2 of the fused ring core can be defined as follows. When the indole and carbazole part is substituted at the position A2 of the fused ring core, the donor property is stronger than the case where the indole and carbazole part is substituted at the position A1, thereby weakening the electron acceptor property of the boron atom, thereby causing a further blue shift than the desired wavelength. When the wavelength is blue-shifted as described above, the absorption wavelength is also blue-shifted, and therefore the spectral overlap of the emission spectrum of the host and the absorption spectrum of the dopant is reduced, thereby reducing the energy transfer efficiency, and reducing the luminous efficiency and service life characteristics. In contrast, it is believed that in the example compounds, because the indole and carbazole part is substituted at the A1 position, the emission wavelength and the absorption wavelength can be appropriately adjusted, thereby improving the energy transfer efficiency with the host, and thus achieving high efficiency and long service life.

[0759]

[0760] Fig. 12A is a diagram showing a three-dimensional molecular model of Example Compound 34. Fig. 12B 3 is a diagram showing a three-dimensional molecular model of Comparative Example Compound C5. Comparative Example Compound C5 is different from Example Compound 34 in that Comparative Example Compound C5 includes a carbazole moiety instead of an indolocarbazole moiety.

[0761]

[0762] refer to Fig. 12A and 12B, Example compound 34 has a very rigid and long-shaped molecular model, and because the indole and carbazole part completely surrounds the core in a spherical shape, it is difficult for external nucleophiles, free radicals, and decomposition products in the element to approach the fused ring core. Example compound 34 has a steric hindrance effect sufficient to interfere with Dexter energy transfer, which is a short-range transfer process, and thus can contribute to the improvement of service life and efficiency. In contrast, because the structure of comparative example compound C5 has a carbazole part arranged in a direction away from the boron atom of the fused ring, the effect of spatially protecting the boron atom is small compared to example compound 34, and the effect of reducing the triplet exciton concentration by inhibiting Dexter energy transfer is reduced.

[0763] The light emitting element according to the embodiment may exhibit improved element characteristics with high efficiency and long lifetime.

[0764] The fused polycyclic compound according to the embodiment may be included in an emission layer of a light emitting element, thereby contributing to high efficiency and long lifetime of the light emitting element.

[0765] The display device according to the embodiment may exhibit excellent display quality.
