Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of organic light-emitting materials, and relates to a boron-containing polycyclic compound for organic light-emitting materials. Background Art
[0002] Organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs) have developed rapidly as a new type of solid-state lighting technology and have gradually become the mainstream display technology. Organic electroluminescent devices generally have a structure including an anode, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a light-emitting layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a cathode. In the above device structure, when an external electric field is applied, 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 and electrons meet in the light-emitting layer, excitons are formed. When the excitons transition back to the ground state, energy is released, thereby emitting light.
[0003] With the rapid iterative development of new display technologies, the market's demand for high-quality display effects is increasing day by day. To meet this demand, display standards (such as BT.2020) have set unprecedentedly high requirements for the color purity of devices. Taking blue light as an example, its color coordinates are required to reach CIEy = 0.046, which poses extremely stringent requirements for the full width at half maximum of the emission spectrum of the light-emitting material. Traditional fluorescent materials are difficult to meet this index due to their relatively wide spectra. Therefore, the development of new light-emitting materials with narrow spectra and high color purity has become an important research direction in the display technology field.
[0004] In this context, a new generation of thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials (MR-TADF) with multiple resonance effects has attracted extensive attention in the academic and industrial circles due to their unique molecular configurations and excellent optoelectronic properties. MR-TADF materials achieve multiple resonance effects through the interaction of holes and electrons within the molecule, which can significantly reduce the Stokes shift and narrow the emission spectrum, thereby achieving high-color-purity luminescence. At the same time, these materials also possess thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) characteristics, which can utilize the energy of both singlet (S1) and triplet (T1) states and convert triplet excitons into singlet excitons through the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process. In theory, an internal quantum efficiency of 100% can be achieved, greatly improving the luminescence efficiency of the device.
[0005] However, the development of high-performance MR-TADF materials, especially blue-light materials, faces many challenges. First, blue-light materials need to have a large bandgap, which poses high requirements for molecular design; second, in order to achieve efficient TADF characteristics, the energy level difference (ΔE) between the singlet and triplet states stIt is usually less than 0.1 eV, which poses extremely high requirements for the fine regulation of molecular structures. Finally, the realization of the multiple resonance effect requires the molecule to have a specific rigid polycyclic configuration and electron distribution, which poses a huge challenge to synthetic chemistry and molecular engineering. Therefore, how to design and synthesize new MR-TADF materials that simultaneously meet the requirements of wide bandgap and multiple resonance effects has become a research hotspot and difficulty in the current field of display materials.
[0006] To solve these problems, researchers are exploring new molecular structures and synthetic strategies through a combination of theoretical calculations and experiments. For example, introducing atoms such as boron and nitrogen to form a rigid polycyclic structure, or regulating the electron distribution through substituents to achieve the synergistic optimization of the multiple resonance effect and TADF characteristics. In addition, device engineering optimization (such as multi-layer interface regulation, carrier balance, etc.) is also widely used to further improve the performance of MR-TADF materials.
[0007] In summary, as a new generation of luminescent materials, MR-TADF materials exhibit great application potential in the field of high-quality displays due to their narrow spectra, high color purity, and high efficiency. The boron-containing polycyclic compound of the present invention, as a potential MR-TADF material, not only realizes narrow-spectrum emission but also provides new ideas and solutions for solving the key problems in the development of current MR-TADF materials, and has important scientific significance and industrial value.

[0151] Table 2 Comparison Table of Device Emission Layer Compositions and Device Performance of Each Example
[0152]
[0153] As can be seen from the data in Table 2, the compounds provided by the present invention, when used as luminescent materials in OLED devices, exhibit excellent performance. Compared with the BD01 material described in Comparative Example 1, the compounds of the present invention have significant advantages in the following aspects: (1) Improved luminous efficiency: When the compounds of the present invention are used as luminescent materials, the luminous efficiency of the OLED devices is significantly improved. This is due to the small singlet-triplet energy level difference (ΔE st ), which enables excitons to efficiently achieve radiative recombination through the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) mechanism; (2) Narrower full width at half maximum: Due to the multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) effect of the compounds of the present invention, the full width at half maximum of their emission spectra is significantly narrowed; (3) Molecular structure advantages: The diboron polycyclic compounds provided by the present invention have a highly twisted molecular structure. This structure not only ensures the rigidity of the compounds but also enhances the multiple resonance effect, further optimizing the optoelectronic properties of the materials. The compounds have appropriate HOMO and LUMO energy levels, which can effectively balance the injection and transport of holes and electrons, improving the overall performance of the devices.
