Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of organic electroluminescent materials, in particular to an aromatic amine compound and an organic electroluminescent device containing the same. Background Art

[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) can be used to manufacture new display products as well as new lighting products. They are expected to replace existing liquid crystal displays and fluorescent lighting, and have a wide range of applications. Organic light-emitting diodes are like sandwich structures, 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, the positive and negative charges in the organic layer functional material film layer are further compounded in the light-emitting layer through the electric field, generating organic electroluminescence.

[0003] Currently, organic electroluminescent display technology has been applied in smart phones, tablet computers, televisions and other fields. However, compared with the actual product application requirements, the luminous efficiency and service life of organic electroluminescent devices need to be further improved. Research on improving the performance of organic electroluminescent devices includes: reducing the driving voltage of the device, improving the luminous efficiency of the device, and improving the service life of the device. In order to continuously improve the performance of organic electroluminescent devices, it is necessary not only to innovate the structure and manufacturing process of organic electroluminescent devices, but also to continuously study and innovate organic functional materials to create higher performance organic functional materials.

[0004] Blue organic electroluminescent devices have always been the weak point in the development of full-color organic electroluminescent devices. Up to now, the efficiency and life of blue light devices have been difficult to be comprehensively improved. Therefore, how to improve the performance of blue light devices is still a crucial issue and challenge facing this field. At present, most of the blue light host materials used in the market are electron-biased hosts. Due to the preferential injection of holes at low current density, the pressure on the hole transmission side is relieved to a certain extent. With the increase of current density, the amount of electron injection will increase, resulting in the shift of the recombination area to the hole side, and the pressure on the hole side is increasing. In order to prevent the excitons from being transferred to the hole side, the luminescent auxiliary layer material is required to effectively block the excitons and efficiently transfer the holes to the luminescent layer. At present, most of the luminescent auxiliary layer materials are traditional aromatic amine structures. The electronic tolerance of such structures in the prior art still cannot meet the demand. The hole mobility at high current density still needs to be improved, so as to ensure the carrier balance of the luminescent layer and prevent the recombination area from shifting to the hole transmission side due to insufficient holes, resulting in reduced device efficiency and shortened life. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an aromatic amine compound and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same.

[0098] In the present invention, the light-emitting region can be arranged between the anode and the cathode, and can include at least one host material and at least one guest material. As the host material and the guest material of the light-emitting region of the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention, the light-emitting layer materials for organic electroluminescent devices known in the prior art can be used.

[0100] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the host material of the light-emitting region used is selected from one or more of the following compounds BH1-BH6:

[0101]

[0102]

[0103] In the present invention, the light-emitting region may contain a phosphorescent or fluorescent guest material to improve the fluorescent or phosphorescent properties of the organic electroluminescent device. Specific examples of phosphorescent guest materials include metal complexes of iridium, platinum, etc. For fluorescent guest materials, those commonly used in the art can be used.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hole injection layer is a mixed film layer of a main organic material and a P-type doping material. In order to smoothly inject holes from the anode into the organic film layer, the HOMO energy level of the main organic material must have certain characteristics with the P-type doping material, so that it is expected to realize the occurrence of charge transfer states between the main material and the doping material, and realize the ohmic contact between the hole injection layer and the anode, thereby realizing efficient injection of holes from the electrode to the hole injection layer. This feature is summarized as: the difference between the HOMO energy level of the main material and the LUMO energy level of the P-type doping material is ≤0.4eV.

[0190] Device Comparative Example 1

[0191] The specific preparation process is as follows:

[0192] like Figure 1As shown, the glass substrate layer 1 is an anode layer 2 (Ag (100nm)) formed by vacuum evaporation. On the anode layer 2, a vacuum evaporation device is used to evaporate HT1 and HI1 with a film thickness of 10nm as a hole injection layer 3, and the mass ratio of HT1 and HI1 is 97:3. Then, HT1 with a thickness of 120nm is evaporated as a hole transport layer 4. Then, EB-1 with a thickness of 10nm is evaporated as a luminescent auxiliary layer 5. After the evaporation of the above-mentioned luminescent auxiliary materials is completed, the luminescent layer 6 of the organic electroluminescent device is prepared, and its structure includes BH1 used as the main material of the luminescent layer 6, BD1 as the doping material, the doping ratio of the doping material is 3% by weight, and the thickness of the luminescent layer 6 is 20nm. After the above-mentioned luminescent layer 6, HB1 is continuously evaporated with a film thickness of 5nm as a hole blocking layer 7. On top of 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 CPL layer 11.

[0193] The preparation method of device embodiments 1-31 is the same as that of device comparison example 1, except that the organic material of the light-emitting auxiliary layer uses the organic compound applied for in the present invention. The preparation method of device comparison examples 2-14 is the same as that of device comparison example 1, except that the organic material of the light-emitting auxiliary layer uses comparative compounds EB-2, EB-3, EB-4, EB-5, EB-6, EB-7, EB-8, EB-9, EB-10, EB-11, EB-12, EB-13 and EB-14. The specific structures of device embodiments 1-28 and device comparison examples 2-14 are shown in Table 5.

[0203] In Table 5 above, taking Example 1 as an example, "HI1:HT1=3:97 10nm" in the second column indicates that the materials used for the hole injection layer are compound HT1 and P-type dopant material HI1, 3:97 means that the weight ratio of P-type dopant material HI1 and compound HT1 is 3:97, and 10nm indicates the thickness of the layer; "8 10nm" in the fourth column indicates that the material used is compound 8, and the thickness of the layer is 10nm, and so on.

[0204] After the organic electroluminescent device is prepared as described above, the cathode and the anode are connected by a known driving circuit, and various properties of the device are measured. The measured performance results of the devices of Examples 1-31 and Comparative Examples 1-14 are shown in Table 6.
