Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic electronic materials and devices, and particularly to an organic compound, a polymer, a mixture, a composition, an organic electronic device containing the same, and its application in an organic electronic device, especially in an organic light-emitting diode. Background Art
[0002] Due to the diversity in synthesis, relatively low manufacturing cost, and excellent optical and electrical properties of organic semiconductor materials, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have great potential in the application of optoelectronic devices (such as flat panel displays and lighting).
[0003] Organic electroluminescence refers to the phenomenon of converting electrical energy into light energy using organic substances. An organic electroluminescent element utilizing the organic electroluminescence phenomenon usually has a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and an organic layer is included between them. To improve the efficiency and lifespan of the organic electroluminescent element, the organic layer has a multi-layer structure, and each layer contains different organic substances. Specifically, it may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc. In such an organic electroluminescent element, when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, holes are injected from the positive electrode into the organic layer, and electrons are injected from the negative electrode into the organic layer. When the injected holes and electrons meet, excitons are formed, and light is emitted when the excitons transition back to the ground state. Such an organic electroluminescent element has characteristics such as self-luminescence, high brightness, high efficiency, low driving voltage, wide viewing angle, high contrast, and high responsiveness. Usually, the large difference in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer increases the difficulty of hole transfer from the hole transport layer to the light-emitting layer, resulting in the accumulation of holes at the interface between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer. To solve these problems, a hole auxiliary layer can be introduced between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer to facilitate hole transport.
[0004] Although prior arts such as CN111146349A, CN111279502A, CN113135903A, CN113461547A, CN115490601, etc. disclose some hole transport materials used as hole auxiliary layers, it is still necessary to design and develop new materials to achieve the effects of reducing the device voltage, improving the device efficiency and lifespan.

Detailed embodiments
[0021] The present invention provides an organic compound, its application in an organic electroluminescent device, and an organic electronic device comprising the organic compound. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of the present invention clearer and more definite, the present invention is further described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0022] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the numerical range represented by "~" means a range that includes the values recorded before and after "~" as the lower limit value and the upper limit value.
[0023] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, a substituent may be further substituted by a substituent. "Substituted group a" may mean that group a is substituted by a substituent, and the substituent may be substituted by at least one further substituent or may not be substituted.
[0024] In the present invention, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects and indicates that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Wherein A and B may be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.
[0025] In the present invention, "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. "At least one of the following items (pieces)" or similar expressions mean any combination of these items, including any combination of single items (pieces) or plural items (pieces). For example, "at least one of a, b, or c", or "at least one of a, b, and c" can both mean: a, b, c, a-b (i.e., a and b), a-c, b-c, or a-b-c, where a, b, and c can be single or plural respectively.
[0026] It should be understood that in various embodiments of the present invention, the magnitude of the serial numbers of the above processes does not mean the order of execution. Some or all of the steps may be executed in parallel or sequentially. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0027] The terms used in the embodiments of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The singular forms "a", "the", and "said" used in the embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0028] The term "OLED" is an abbreviation for "Organic Light Emitting Diode", which refers to an organic electroluminescent diode, also known as organic electroluminescent display, organic light-emitting semiconductor (Organic Electroluminescence Display, OLED). OLED belongs to a current-type organic light-emitting device, and it is a phenomenon of luminescence caused by the injection and recombination of carriers, and the luminescence intensity is proportional to the injected current. Under the action of an electric field, the holes generated by the anode and the electrons generated by the cathode will move, and are respectively injected into the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer, and migrate to the light-emitting layer. When the two meet in the light-emitting layer, energy excitons are generated, which excite the luminescent molecules and finally generate visible light.
[0029] The term "TADF" is an abbreviation for "Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence", which represents thermally activated delayed fluorescence. Its essence is that when the energy of the triplet excited state is close to that of the singlet excited state, the triplet excited state can undergo thermally activated reverse intersystem crossing to the singlet excited state through heat activation. Traditional luminescence is fluorescence and phosphorescence, in which the exciton singlet state and triplet state return to the ground state in the form of radiative luminescence respectively. Moreover, the energy level difference between the generally lower singlet state and the lower triplet state is relatively large, resulting in the exciton being unable to return to the singlet state once it reaches the triplet state through the intersystem crossing (ISC) process from the singlet state.
[0030] In the present invention, the composition, printing ink, and ink have the same definition and can be interchanged.
[0031] In the present invention, the aromatic group, aromatic, and aromatic ring system have the same definition and can be interchanged.
[0032] In the present invention, the heteroaromatic group, heteroaromatic, and heteroaromatic ring system have the same definition and can be interchanged.
[0033] In the present invention, "substituted" means that a hydrogen atom in a compound is replaced by a substituent.
[0034] In the present invention, "the number of ring atoms" refers to the number of atoms among the atoms that form the ring itself in a structural compound obtained by bonding atoms into a ring (for example, monocyclic compound, fused-ring compound, crosslinked compound, carbocyclic compound, heterocyclic compound). When the ring is substituted by a substituent, the atoms contained in the substituent are not included in the ring-forming atoms. The same applies to the following "the number of ring atoms" without special instructions. For example, the number of ring atoms in a benzene ring is 6, the number of ring atoms in a naphthalene ring is 10, and the number of ring atoms in a thiophenyl group is 5.
[0035] In the present invention, an aromatic ring system or an aromatic group refers to a hydrocarbon group containing at least one aromatic ring, including monocyclic groups and polycyclic ring systems. A heteroaromatic ring system or a heteroaromatic group refers to a hydrocarbon group (containing heteroatoms) containing at least one heteroaromatic ring, including monocyclic groups and polycyclic ring systems. The heteroatoms are preferably selected from Si, N, P, O, S and / or Ge, particularly preferably selected from Si, N, P, O and / or S. These polycyclic rings can have two or more rings, where two carbon atoms are shared by two adjacent rings, i.e., fused rings. Among these polycyclic rings, at least one is aromatic or heteroaromatic. For the purposes of the present invention, an aromatic group or a heteroaromatic group includes not only systems of aromatic or heteroaromatic groups, but also, where multiple aromatic or heteroaromatic groups can also be interrupted by short non-aromatic units (<10% non-H atoms, preferably less than 5% non-H atoms, such as C, N or O atoms). Thus, systems such as 9,9'-spirobifluorene, 9,9-diarylfluorene, triarylamine, diaryl ether, etc. are also considered aromatic groups for the purposes of this invention.
[0036] Specific examples of aromatic groups are: benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, coronene, tetracene, pyrene, benzopyrene, triphenylene, acenaphthene, fluorene, and their derivatives.

[0038] In the present invention, "alkyl" may represent linear, branched and / or cyclic alkyl. The number of carbon atoms of the alkyl may be 1 to 50, 1 to 30, 1 to 20, 1 to 10 or 1 to 6.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present invention, the energy level structures of the organic materials, the singlet energy level S1, the triplet energy level T1, HOMO, and LUMO play crucial roles. The determination of these energy levels is introduced below.
[0040] The HOMO and LUMO energy levels can be measured by the photoelectric effect, such as XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and UPS (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy) or by cyclic voltammetry (hereinafter referred to as CV). Recently, quantum chemical methods, such as density functional theory (hereinafter referred to as DFT), have also become effective methods for calculating the energy levels of molecular orbitals.
[0041] The singlet energy level S1 of the organic material can be determined by the emission spectrum, and the triplet energy level T1 can be measured by the low-temperature time-resolved emission spectrum. S1 and T1 can also be obtained by quantum simulation calculations (such as by Time-dependent DFT), such as through the commercial software Gaussian 09W (Gaussian Inc.). The specific simulation method can be referred to WO2011141110 or as described in the following examples. EST Defined as (S1-T1).
[0042] It should be noted that the absolute values of HOMO, LUMO, S1, and T1 depend on the measurement method or calculation method used. Even for the same method, different evaluation methods, such as the starting point and peak point on the CV curve, can give different HOMO / LUMO values. Therefore, reasonable and meaningful comparisons should be made using the same measurement method and the same evaluation method. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the values of HOMO, LUMO, S1, and T1 are based on simulations using Time-dependent DFT, but this does not affect the application of other measurement or calculation methods.
[0043] In the invention, (HOMO-1) is defined as the second-highest occupied orbital energy level, (HOMO-2) is the third-highest occupied orbital energy level, and so on. (LUMO+1) is defined as the second-lowest unoccupied orbital energy level, (LUMO+2) is the third-lowest occupied orbital energy level, and so on.

[0147] 3. TADF Materials
[0148] Traditional organic fluorescent materials can only utilize 25% of the singlet excitons formed by electrical excitation for luminescence, resulting in a relatively low internal quantum efficiency of the device (up to 25%). Although phosphorescent materials can enhance intersystem crossing due to the strong spin-orbit coupling of heavy atom centers, effectively utilize both singlet and triplet excitons formed by electrical excitation, and achieve an internal quantum efficiency of 100% for the device. However, issues such as the high cost of phosphorescent materials, poor material stability, and severe efficiency roll-off of the device limit their application in OLEDs. Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials are the third generation of organic light-emitting materials developed after organic fluorescent materials and organic phosphorescent materials. Such materials generally have a small singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔE ST ), and triplet excitons can be converted into singlet excitons for luminescence through reverse intersystem crossing. This can make full use of both singlet and triplet excitons formed under electrical excitation. The internal quantum efficiency of the device can reach 100%. At the same time, the material structure is controllable, the properties are stable, the price is cheap without the need for precious metals, and it has broad application prospects in the field of OLEDs.
[0149] TADF materials need to have a small singlet-triplet energy gap, preferably ΔE ST < 0.3 eV, second preferably ΔE ST < 0.2 eV, and most preferably ΔE ST < 0.1 eV. In a preferred embodiment, the TADF material has a relatively small ΔE ST, in another preferred embodiment, the TADF has a good fluorescence quantum efficiency. Some TADF-emitting materials can be found in the following patent documents: CN103483332(A), TW201309696(A), TW201309778(A), TW201343874(A), TW201350558(A), US20120217869(A1), WO2013133359(A1), WO2013154064(A1), Adachi, et.al.

[0263]
[0264] a. Cleaning of the ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) conductive glass substrate: Clean it using various solvents (such as one or several of chloroform, acetone, or isopropyl alcohol), and then perform ultraviolet ozone treatment.
[0265] b. Evaporation: Transfer the substrate into a vacuum vapor deposition equipment, and under high vacuum (1×10 -6At a pressure of millibar), the ratio of PD to HT-1 is controlled to be 3:100 to form a 10-nm hole injection layer (HIL). Subsequently, compound HT-1 is evaporated on the hole injection layer to form a 50-nm hole transport layer (HTL). Immediately after that, the organic compound of the present invention is evaporated on the hole transport layer to form a 40-nm hole auxiliary layer. As the light-emitting layer, a 25-nm light-emitting layer thin film is formed with GH1:GH2:GD in a ratio of 50:50:8. Then, ET and LiQ are placed in different evaporation units and co-deposited at a ratio of 50 wt% respectively to obtain a 30-nm electron transport layer. Subsequently, 1 nm of LiQ is deposited as the electron injection layer. Finally, an Al cathode with a thickness of 100 nm is deposited on the electron injection layer.
[0266] c. Encapsulation: The device is encapsulated with an ultraviolet-curing resin in a nitrogen glove box.

[0271] Even if the hole auxiliary layer is also included, compared with Comparative Examples 2 - 3, Examples 1 - 12 of the device have obvious improvements in both current efficiency and lifetime, indicating the beneficial effects of the organic compound of the present invention applied to OLED devices.
[0272] The core structure of the present invention is that the triarylamine group and the aryl group are connected by the adamantyl group in the 2,2-substituted and 6,6-substituted manners. Through the space conjugation effect, the compound molecule has a suitable HOMO energy level and hole mobility, which is applicable to the hole transport region of organic electroluminescent devices, especially suitable for the hole auxiliary layer; at the same time, this molecular structure has good amorphous stacking performance, which can reduce the crystallinity of the material and extend the device lifetime. When the adamantane of the organic compound of the present invention is connected with the arylamine through the aryl group, the device performance is better.
