Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of organic light-emitting devices, and particularly to a high-performance capping layer material and an organic electroluminescent device. Background Art
[0002] Display screens are constantly evolving towards high pixels, large color gamuts, and low power consumption. The obvious advantages of OLED (organic electroluminescent diode) flexible display screens compared to TFT-LCD (thin film transistor liquid crystal display) make flexible screens the trend of display screen development. The foldable and bendable properties of flexible screens are particularly favored by electronic device enthusiasts.
[0003] Currently used OLED devices mostly adopt a top-emitting device structure, using a reflective anode and a transparent cathode to enhance the light extraction efficiency through the microcavity effect. Blue light devices are still the focus of development. Due to the high energy of blue light, the lifespan needs to be improved, and at the same time, a lower voltage needs to be maintained to reduce power consumption. Introducing a capping layer (CPL) in the top-emitting device, through a higher refractive index, a combination of high and low refractive indices is formed above the cathode, thereby achieving a better light extraction effect and improving efficiency. However, the refractive index of existing CPL materials is not high enough, and the improvement in device efficiency is very small; the absorption intensity is small, and it cannot effectively absorb the harmful blue light of OLED devices, which is not conducive to protecting eyes from blue light; and the CPL material will decompose during long-term evaporation at high temperatures, easily causing the material to lose its original properties. Therefore, new CPL materials still need to be developed. Summary of the Invention

[0108] The synthesis of other compounds can all refer to the above synthesis process, and the raw materials in Table 1 below can be used as intermediates.

[0112]
[0113]
[0114] Example 1
[0115] Evaporate thin films of the compound of the present application and control compounds CP-1, CP-2, CP-3, CP-4, and CP-5 on the silicon wafer respectively, and obtain a CPL material thin film with a thickness of 50 nm by evaporation. The structural formulas of CP-1, CP-2, CP-3, CP-4, and CP-5 are as follows:
[0116]
[0117]
[0118] Use an ellipsometer to measure the absorption coefficient (k) and refractive index (n) of the evaporated CPL material thin film, and the instrument scanning range is 245 - 1000 nm.
[0119] Compare the refractive indices of the CPL material thin films prepared from different compounds at three common wavelengths of 460 nm, 530 nm, and 620 nm. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0120] To protect the OLED device from damage by ultraviolet light in the external environment, the CPL material needs to have strong absorption ability at about 400 nm to absorb the external ultraviolet light and prevent the device from aging. At the same time, it should not absorb the light emitted by the OLED device itself. Therefore, the absorption at 450 nm and later is required to be almost 0. The extinction coefficients (k) of the CPL material films prepared from different compounds are compared at two common wavelengths of 400 nm and 450 nm, and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0121] In addition, the glass transition temperature (Tg) is an important parameter to ensure the stability of the material during the evaporation process; the glass transition temperature is measured by DSC (differential scanning calorimeter), and the second heating process is selected to measure the glass transition temperature value during the temperature range from room temperature to 300 °C, and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0122] Result comparison in Table 2
[0123]
[0124]
[0125] It can be seen from the above results that the refractive indices of the CPL material films evaporated with the compounds of the present application are significantly higher than those of the CPL material films evaporated with the control compounds CP-1 to CP-5. In the wavelength range of 460 nm - 620 nm, the refractive indices are all greater than 2. At the same time, the CPL material films evaporated with the compounds of the present application have a relatively high extinction coefficient, with a high extinction coefficient at 400 nm, but 0 at 450 nm. Therefore, it can effectively reduce harmful blue light without affecting the normal blue light color.
[0126] Example 2
[0127] The stability of the material after long-term evaporation is judged through an ampoule experiment. The compounds of the present application and the control compounds CP-1 and CP-4 are placed in ampoules and stored at 300 °C for 100 h, and then the HPLC of each compound is tested, and the heat resistance of the material is judged from the reduction amplitude of the purity. The structural formulas of CP-1, CP-4, and CP-5 are the same as those in Example 1. The test results are shown in Table 3.
