Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor materials, in particular to a compound containing triazine and naphthyl, and an organic electroluminescent device and a display element thereof. Background Art
[0002] Organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology can be used to manufacture new display products as well as new lighting products. It is expected to replace existing liquid crystal displays and fluorescent lighting, and has a wide range of applications. Organic light emitting diodes have a sandwich-like structure, including electrode material films and organic functional materials sandwiched between different electrode material films. Various organic functional materials are superimposed on each other according to their uses to form organic light emitting diodes. As a current device, when voltage is applied to the electrodes at both ends of the organic light emitting diode and the electric field acts on the positive and negative charges in the organic layer functional material film layer, the positive and negative charges further recombine in the light emitting layer, generating organic electroluminescence.
[0003] Currently, OLED display technology has been applied in smart phones, tablet computers, TVs and other fields. However, compared with the actual product application requirements, the performance of organic electroluminescent devices such as luminous efficiency and service life needs to be further improved. In order to continuously improve the performance of organic electroluminescent devices, it is necessary to continuously research and innovate organic optoelectronic functional materials to create higher performance organic optoelectronic functional materials.
[0004] Organic optoelectronic functional materials used in organic electroluminescent devices can be divided into two categories based on their uses, namely charge injection transport materials and luminescent materials. Furthermore, charge injection transport materials can also be divided into electron injection transport materials, electron blocking materials, hole injection transport materials and hole blocking materials. As charge transport materials, they are required to have good carrier mobility, high glass transition temperature, etc. For organic electroluminescent devices, electrons are injected from the cathode and then transferred to the main material through the electron transport layer, where they recombine with holes to generate excitons. Therefore, improving the injection and transmission capabilities of the electron transport layer is conducive to reducing the device driving voltage while obtaining efficient electron-hole recombination efficiency. Therefore, the electron transport layer is very important and requires it to have efficient electron injection capability, transmission capability and high electronic durability.
[0005] For the device life, the heat resistance and film stability of the material are also important. Materials with low heat resistance are not only prone to decomposition during material evaporation, but also thermal decomposition caused by the heat generated by the device when the device is working, resulting in material degradation. In the case of poor phase stability of the material film, the material will also undergo thin film crystallization in a short period of time, resulting in direct layer separation of the organic film layer and device degradation. Therefore, the materials used are required to have high heat resistance and good film stability.
[0006] With the demand for improving the performance of organic electroluminescent devices, the requirements for material performance are also increasing. Not only are they required to have good material stability, but they are also required to achieve good efficiency and life at low driving voltages. However, the current electron transport materials have insufficient thermal stability and defects in the electronic tolerance of the materials, which leads to phase separation or decomposition of the materials when the device is working, resulting in a short device life.

[0055] Technical Effects
[0056] The compounds of the present invention are based on nitrogen-containing heterocyclic rings and naphthyl structures, triazine and pyrimidine groups or triazine and triazine groups are connected by specific naphthyl bridging groups, and the triazine and naphthyl framework bridging characteristics are formed. Such compounds have good electronic tolerance and stability, and have good electron injection and transmission capabilities. Therefore, when used as an electron transmission material for an OLED functional layer, it can effectively reduce the device driving voltage and improve the optoelectronic performance and device life of the OLED device.
[0057] Since triazine can further delocalize the LUMO electron cloud distribution of the material, it can improve the anti-electronic properties of the material and effectively improve the electronic stability of the material. In addition, the parent core can increase the weak interaction within the molecule, effectively reduce the evaporation temperature of the molecule, and improve the thermal durability of the material. Furthermore, since the parent core can inhibit the π-π stacking between molecules, it significantly improves the electron mobility of the molecule and reduces the driving voltage of the device. In addition, due to the existence of the electron-withdrawing conjugation effect of the parent core, the glass transition temperature of the material is increased, and the film stability of the material is effectively improved. Therefore, it is possible to effectively reduce the device driving voltage, improve the device efficiency and service life.
[0058] In addition, under the action of electric field or thermal energy, the triazine and naphthyl-containing compound of the present invention can easily reduce and free lithium ions in the lithium complex due to its strong electron-withdrawing conjugation effect, thereby improving the electron injection capacity.

Compared with device comparative examples 1-14, device examples 1-22 have the same manufacturing process of the device, and use the same substrate material and electrode material, and the film thickness of the electrode material is also consistent. The difference is that the electron transport layer material in the device has changed. The device layer structure is shown in Table 4, and the performance test results of each device are shown in Table 5.

[0145] Device Comparison Example 1
[0146] The specific preparation process is as follows:
[0147] like Figure 1 As shown, the transparent substrate layer 1 is transparent glass, and Ag (100nm) is evaporated as the anode layer 2. On the anode layer 2, a vacuum evaporation device is used to evaporate HT-1 and P-1 with a film thickness of 10nm as the hole injection layer 3, and the mass ratio of HT-1 and P-1 is 97:3. Then, HT-1 with a thickness of 130nm is evaporated as the hole transport layer 4. Then, EB-1 with a thickness of 5nm is evaporated as the electron blocking layer 5. After the above-mentioned electron blocking material is evaporated, the light-emitting layer 6 of the OLED light-emitting device is prepared, using BH-1 as the main material and BD-1 as the doping material. The doping ratio of the doping material is 3% by weight, and the film thickness of the light-emitting layer 6 is 20nm. After the above-mentioned light-emitting layer 6, HB-1 is continuously evaporated, and the film thickness is 5nm, as a hole blocking layer 7. On the above-mentioned hole blocking layer 7, ET-1 and LiQ are continuously evaporated, and the mass ratio of ET-1 and LiQ is 1:1. The vacuum-deposited film thickness of the material is 30 nm, and this layer is the electron transport layer 8. On the electron transport layer 8, a LiF layer with a film thickness of 1 nm is made by a vacuum evaporation device, and this layer is the electron injection layer 9. On the electron injection layer 9, a Mg:Ag electrode layer with a film thickness of 16 nm is made by a vacuum evaporation device, and the mass ratio of Mg to Ag is 1:9, and this layer is used as the cathode layer 10. On the cathode layer 10, 65 nm of CP-1 is vacuum-deposited as the light extraction layer 11.
[0148] Device Examples 1-22 and Device Comparative Examples 2-14 were prepared in a similar manner to Device Comparative Example 1, except that the electron transport layer materials in Table 4 below were used.

[0154] III. Device Testing Example
[0155] The device prepared in II was tested for its driving voltage and LT95 life. The voltage was tested using an IVL (current-voltage-luminance) test system (Suzhou Fushida Scientific Instrument Co., Ltd.) with a current density of 10 mA / cm 2 LT95 refers to the time it takes for the device brightness to decay to 95% of the initial brightness. The current density during the test is 30mA / cm 2 The life test system is the EAS-62C OLED device life tester from Japan System Technology Co., Ltd. The high temperature life test temperature is 85°C, LT95 refers to the time taken for the device brightness to decay to 95% of the initial brightness, and the current density during the test is 20mA / cm 2 ; The test results are shown in Table 5 below.
