Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a light-emitting device and a display apparatus. Background Art
[0002] Organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) are active light emitting devices with the advantages of light emission, ultra-thinness, wide viewing angle, high brightness, high contrast, low power consumption, and extremely high response speed. They have gradually become the next generation display technology with great development prospects. Generally, OLEDs include an anode, a cathode, and an organic light emitting layer arranged between the anode and the cathode. The principle of light emission is to inject holes and electrons from the anode and the cathode into the light emitting layer respectively. When electrons and holes meet in the light emitting layer, they recombine in the light emitting layer to generate excitons. These excitons emit light while changing from an excited state to a ground state.
[0003] At present, OLED devices are mainly sensitized devices, which refer to devices that use sensitizers in light-emitting devices, which can improve the luminous efficiency or stability of the device. Among them, the sensitizer can absorb energy and transfer it to the light-emitting molecules, thereby improving the luminous efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0053] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.
[0054] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.
[0055] In this application, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "upper" and "lower" generally refer to the upper and lower parts of the device in actual use or working state, specifically the drawing direction in the accompanying drawings; while "inner" and "outer" refer to the outline of the device. In addition, in the description of this application, the term "including" means "including but not limited to". The terms first, second, third, etc. are used only as labels and do not impose numerical requirements or establish an order.
[0056] In the present application, "at least one" means one or more, and "plurality" means two or more. "One or more", "at least one of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single items or plural items. For example, "at least one of a, b, or c", or "at least one of a, b, and c" can all mean: a, b, c, ab (i.e., a and b), ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple, respectively.
[0057] In the present application, when a layer is formed "on" another layer, the so-called "on" is a broad concept, which may indicate that the formed another layer is adjacent to the certain layer, or may indicate that there are other spacing structural layers between the another layer and the certain layer. For example, when a second electrode is formed "on" the first carrier functional layer, the so-called "on" may indicate that the formed second electrode is adjacent to the first carrier functional layer, or may indicate that there are other spacing structural layers between the second electrode and the first carrier functional layer, such as a light-emitting layer.
[0058] Various embodiments of the present application may be presented in the form of a range; it should be understood that the description in the form of a range is only for convenience and brevity, and should not be understood as a rigid limitation on the scope of the present application; therefore, the range description should be considered to have specifically disclosed all possible sub-ranges and single numerical values within the range. For example, the range description from 1 to 6 should be considered to have specifically disclosed sub-ranges, such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6, etc., as well as single numbers within the range, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, which apply regardless of the range. In addition, whenever a numerical range is indicated herein, it is meant to include any cited number (fractional or integer) within the indicated range.
[0059] At present, OLED devices are mainly sensitized devices, which refer to devices that use sensitizers in light-emitting devices, which can improve the luminous efficiency or stability of the device. Among them, the sensitizer can absorb energy and transfer it to the fluorescent guest material, thereby improving the luminous efficiency.
[0060] Thermal dissipation refers to the process of heat transfer from a high temperature area to a low temperature area. In the process of the sensitizer absorbing energy and transferring energy to the fluorescent guest material, if the energy of the sensitizer is 100% transferred to the fluorescent guest material, the efficiency of the corresponding sensitized device can be improved by more than 30%. However, during the actual transfer process of the sensitizer, the efficiency of the phosphorescent sensitized device is improved by less than 20%, indicating that the sensitizer dissipates part of the energy in the form of heat through non-radiative pathways such as intramolecular conversion and vibration relaxation, which will increase thermal dissipation. Therefore, thermal dissipation should be reduced as much as possible to ensure that more energy is used in the photoelectric conversion process.
[0061] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a light emitting device, including:
[0062] a light-emitting layer, the light-emitting layer comprising a sensitizer;
[0063] The emission spectrum of the sensitizer includes:
[0064] The first emission peak,
[0065] The second emission peak is located on one or both sides of the first emission peak.
[0066] The maximum emission intensity of the second emission peak is less than the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak;
[0067] The normalized value range of the ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak is 0.10 to 0.55.
[0068] In a light-emitting device provided in an embodiment of the present application, the emission spectrum of the sensitizer includes a first emission peak and a second emission peak, and the second emission peak is located on one side or both sides of the first emission peak. The present application defines that the maximum emission intensity of the second emission peak is less than the maximum emission intensity of the second emission peak, which is beneficial to reducing the increase in heat dissipation during the energy transfer process of the sensitizer due to the presence of the second emission peak.
[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, the emission peak value of the first emission peak may range from 400 nm to 700 nm.
[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak can range from 0.10 to 0.55. The ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak will also affect the thermal dissipation of the sensitizer. If the ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak is large, it indicates that the emission intensity of the second emission peak is large, which increases the possibility of non-radiative transition, causing the energy of the sensitizer to be dissipated in the form of heat. If the ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak is small, the possibility of non-radiative transition is small, resulting in a reduction in the thermal dissipation of the sensitizer during the energy transfer process.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the normalized ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak ranges from 0.10 to 0.50.
[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the normalized ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak ranges from 0.30 to 0.50.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the normalized ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak ranges from 0.32 to 0.41.
[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the normalized ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak ranges from 0.20 to 0.21.
[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the normalized ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak ranges from 0.10 to 0.35.
[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the normalized value range of the ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak may be 0.20 to 0.50.
[0077] In addition, the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of the spectrum of a sensitizer refers to the width at half the peak intensity in the spectrum.
[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the half-peak width of the spectrum of the sensitizer may be greater than or equal to 10 nm and less than or equal to 50 nm. If the half-peak width of the spectrum of the sensitizer is large, the spectrum range of its absorption and emission is wide, which may cause energy to be dispersed in a non-target range, thereby increasing heat dissipation. Conversely, if the half-peak width of the spectrum of the sensitizer is small, the spectrum range of its absorption and emission is narrow, which is not easy to cause energy to be dispersed in a non-target range, thereby reducing heat dissipation.
[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, the half-peak width of the spectrum of the sensitizer may be greater than or equal to 26 nm and less than or equal to 39 nm.
[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the half-peak width of the spectrum of the sensitizer may be greater than or equal to 30 nm and less than or equal to 34 nm.
[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, the light-emitting layer further includes a host material, and the host material includes at least one of a P-type material and an N-type material. The P-type material has a higher hole mobility, which is conducive to the injection and transmission of holes, and the N-type material has a higher electron mobility, which is conducive to the injection and transmission of electrons, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device.
[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the host material can be independently selected from the following chemical formulas:
[0083]
[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the light-emitting layer further comprises a fluorescent guest material, and the spectral half-peak width of the fluorescent guest material is greater than or equal to 10 nm and less than or equal to 50 nm. If the spectral half-peak width is within the above range, it means that the half-peak width of the fluorescent guest material is narrow, which helps to concentrate the light emission in a smaller energy range, helps to reduce non-target light emission caused by spectral overlap, and thus reduces heat dissipation.
[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the fluorescent guest material can be independently selected from the following chemical formulas:
[0086]
[0087]
[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, the doping concentration of the host material in the light-emitting layer can be 86.5%-97.9%, and the doping concentration of the host material is the ratio of the mass of the host material to the sum of the masses of the host material, the fluorescent guest material and the sensitizer.
[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, the doping concentration of the fluorescent guest material in the light-emitting layer can be 0.1%-1.5%. The doping concentration of the fluorescent guest material is the ratio of the mass of the fluorescent guest material to the sum of the masses of the host material, the fluorescent guest material, and the sensitizer.
[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, the doping concentration of the sensitizer may be 1%-15%, and the doping concentration of the sensitizer is the ratio of the mass of the sensitizer to the sum of the masses of the host material, the fluorescent guest material, and the sensitizer.
[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the doping concentration of the host material in the light-emitting layer may be 89%-97.8%, the doping concentration of the sensitizer may be 2%-10%, and the doping concentration of the fluorescent guest material may be 0.2%-1%.
[0092] It should be noted that the doping concentrations of the main material, sensitizer and fluorescent guest material directly affect the carrier transport, energy transfer efficiency and the generation and recombination process of excitons in the OLED device. For example, when the doping concentration of the main material is appropriate, the recombination efficiency of electrons and holes can be improved, and the accumulation of unrecombined carriers can be reduced, thereby reducing heat dissipation. For example, the doping concentration of the sensitizer affects the energy transfer efficiency between it and the fluorescent guest material. The appropriate sensitizer doping concentration can achieve efficient energy transfer and reduce energy loss in the form of heat. For example, the doping concentration of the fluorescent guest material affects the generation and recombination area of the excitons. The appropriate doping concentration helps to form an effective exciton recombination area in the light-emitting layer, reduce the non-radiative recombination of excitons in the non-light-emitting area, and effectively reduce heat dissipation.
[0093] In addition, the molecular structure of the sensitizer will also affect heat dissipation, thereby affecting the luminous performance of the red, green, and blue (RGB) light-emitting unit.
[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, a platinum complex may be used as a ligand for a blue light-emitting unit, and at the same time, the sensitizer may have a molecular structure with high rigidity and stability.
[0095] As an example, the sensitizer may have a compound as shown in Formula I:

[0100] In some embodiments of the present application, the red light-emitting device and the green light-emitting device may use iridium complexes as ligands, but the ligands on one side of the sensitizer of the red light-emitting device and the green light-emitting device are different.

[0209] Detection methods:
[0210] (1) The sensitizers in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were scanned using a spectrometer to obtain emission spectra of the sensitizers.
[0211] (2) Device efficiency: The light-emitting devices of the above-mentioned embodiment and the comparative example were subjected to a current density of 10 mA / cm 2 Under the conditions of , the luminous efficiency of the above device was tested.
[0212] The test results of the emission peak value, the spectral half-peak width, and the ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak of the sensitizer in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are shown in Table 9.
[0213] Table 9
[0214]
[0215] Example 1, Examples 3-4 and Comparative Example 1 are all green light emitting devices. Referring to Table 9, it can be seen that the emission peak of the sensitizer is 522-528nm. The emission peak refers to the wavelength position when the emission intensity is the maximum in the emission spectrum of the sensitizer. Therefore, between 522-528nm, the luminescence efficiency of the sensitizer is the highest.
[0216] The half-peak width of the spectrum of the sensitizer in Example 1 and Examples 3-4 is 26-39nm. In addition, a second emission peak is generated on the descending side of the first emission peak, and the emission intensity of the second emission peak is less than the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak, and the ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak is 0.32-0.41. The half-peak width of the spectrum of the sensitizer in Comparative Example 1 is 57nm, and the ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak is 0.60, indicating that the ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak of the sensitizer in Comparative Example 1 to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak is large, which increases the possibility of non-radiative transition, resulting in the energy of the sensitizer being lost in the form of heat.
[0217] The efficiency of the light-emitting devices of Example 1 and Examples 3-4 is 120%-129%, while the efficiency of the light-emitting device of Comparative Example 1 is 115%, indicating that the use of the sensitizer of the present application to prepare the sensitized device is helpful to improve the efficiency of the device.
[0218] Example 2, Example 5-6 and Comparative Example 2 are all red light emitting devices. Referring to Table 9, it can be seen that the emission peak of the sensitizer is 615-627nm. The emission peak refers to the wavelength position when the emission intensity is the maximum in the emission spectrum of the sensitizer. Therefore, between 615-627nm, the luminous efficiency of the sensitizer is the highest. The spectrum half-peak width of the sensitizer in Example 2 and Example 5-6 is 30-34nm. In addition, a second emission peak will be generated on the descending side of the first emission peak, and the emission intensity of the second emission peak is less than the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak, and the ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak is 0.20-0.21; while the spectrum half-peak width of the sensitizer in Comparative Example 2 is 53nm, and the ratio of the emission intensity of the second emission peak to the maximum emission intensity of the first emission peak is 0.59, indicating that the emission intensity of the second emission peak of the sensitizer in Comparative Example 2 is large, which increases the possibility of non-radiative transition, resulting in the energy of the sensitizer being lost in the form of heat.
[0219] The efficiency of the light-emitting devices of Examples 2 and 5-6 is 123%-124%, while the efficiency of the light-emitting device of Comparative Example 2 is 105%, indicating that the use of the sensitizer of the present application to prepare the sensitized device is helpful to improve the efficiency of the device.
