Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of organic compounds, and in particular relates to a compound and an organic electroluminescent device. Background Art

[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), a new generation of display technology, have outstanding effects in display and lighting technology, and therefore have received increasing attention. However, compared with market application requirements, the performance of OLEDs, such as luminous efficiency, driving voltage, and service life, still needs to be further improved.

[0003] Generally speaking, the basic structure of OLED is a thin film of organic functional materials with various functions sandwiched between metal electrodes, like a sandwich structure. Driven by electric current, holes and electrons are injected from the positive and negative poles respectively. After moving a certain distance, the holes and electrons are recombined in the light-emitting layer and released in the form of light or heat, thus producing the OLED's luminous effect. However, organic functional materials are the core components of organic electroluminescent devices. The thermal stability, photochemical stability, electrochemical stability, quantum yield, film formation stability, crystallinity, color saturation, etc. of the materials are all factors that affect the performance of the device.

[0004] Patent document 1 (CN115043785A) discloses This type of aliphatic condensed benzene compounds can be used as electron transport materials in organic electroluminescent devices. The device voltage is relatively high, and the efficiency and life span need to be further improved. Patent document 2 (CN111433190A) discloses Compounds in which cyclohexylfluorene is bonded to a triazine ring via a linker can be used as a host material and an electron transport material in an organic electroluminescent device, and the efficiency of the device needs to be improved. Patent document 3 (CN110615759A) discloses Compounds in which adamantyl fluorene is bonded to a triazine ring via a linker are used as electron transport layer materials in organic electroluminescent devices, but their luminous efficiency, life span and other performances need to be further improved. Patent document 4 (CN114763341A) discloses Compounds in which a norbornyl fluorenyl group is bonded to a nitrogen heterocycle via a linker are used as electron transport layer materials in organic electroluminescent devices. The material stability, luminous efficiency, life span and other performances need to be further improved. Patent document 5 (KR1020210156912A) discloses Compounds in which benzoheterocyclic and fluorenyl groups are bonded to nitrogen heterocycles via linkers are used as electron transport layer materials in organic electroluminescent devices. They have strong planarity, high sublimation temperature, and poor material stability. At the same time, the luminous efficiency, life span and other performance of the device need to be further improved.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new organic compound or organic electroluminescent device to solve the problems of OLED light emitting efficiency, life span or driving voltage. Summary of the invention
