Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic electroluminescent materials, and particularly to an amine-based organic compound and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same. Background Art

[0002] Organic Light Emission Diodes (OLED) can be used to manufacture new display products or new lighting products, and are expected to replace existing liquid crystal displays and fluorescent lighting, with a very broad application prospect. An organic electroluminescent device has a sandwich-like structure, including electrode material layers, and organic functional materials sandwiched between different electrode material layers. Various different organic functional materials are stacked together according to their uses to jointly form an organic electroluminescent device. As a current device, when a voltage is applied to the two electrodes of the organic electroluminescent device, positive and negative charges in the organic layer functional material layer act through an electric field, and the positive and negative charges further recombine in the light-emitting layer, thereby generating organic electroluminescence.

[0003] Currently, organic electroluminescent display technology has been applied in the fields of smartphones, tablet computers, televisions, etc. However, compared with the actual product application requirements, the performance of organic electroluminescent devices, such as luminous efficiency and service life, still needs to be further improved. Research on improving the performance of organic electroluminescent devices includes: reducing the driving voltage of the device, increasing the luminous efficiency of the device, and increasing the service life of the device. In order to continuously improve the performance of organic electroluminescent devices, not only innovation in the structure and manufacturing process of organic electroluminescent devices is required, but also continuous research and innovation on organic functional materials to create higher-performance organic functional materials.

[0004] Blue organic electroluminescent devices have always been the weak link in the development of full-color OLEDs. So far, it has been difficult to comprehensively improve the performance such as efficiency and life of blue light devices. Therefore, how to improve the performance of blue light devices remains a crucial issue and challenge in this field. Most of the blue light host materials used in the market are electron-deficient hosts. At low current densities, due to the preferential injection of holes, the pressure on the hole transport side is alleviated to a certain extent. As the current density increases, the amount of electron injection will increase more and more, resulting in the recombination region shifting towards the hole side, and the pressure on the hole side becoming greater and greater. In order to prevent excitons from transferring to the hole side, it is required that the light-emitting auxiliary layer material can effectively block excitons and efficiently transport holes to the light-emitting layer. Currently, most of the light-emitting auxiliary layer materials are traditional aromatic amine structures, and the electron tolerance of such structures in the prior art still cannot meet the requirements, and the hole mobility at high current densities still needs to be improved, so as to ensure the carrier balance in the light-emitting layer and prevent the device efficiency from decreasing and the life from shortening due to insufficient holes and the recombination region shifting towards the hole transport side.

[0110] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0111] In the present invention, when a layer or element is referred to as being "on" another layer or substrate, the layer or element may be directly on the other layer or substrate, or an intermediate layer may also exist. In addition, it will also be understood that when a layer is referred to as being "between" two layers, the layer may be the only layer between the two layers, or one or more intermediate layers may also exist.

[0112] In the present invention, when describing electrodes, organic electroluminescent devices, and other structures, terms indicating orientation such as "upper", "lower", "top", and "bottom" only represent the orientation in a specific state, and do not mean that the relevant structures can only exist in the stated orientation; on the contrary, if the structure can be repositioned, for example, inverted, the orientation of the structure will change accordingly. Specifically, in the present invention, the "bottom" and "lower" sides of the electrode refer to the side of the electrode close to the substrate during the manufacturing process, and the opposite side away from the substrate is the "top" and "upper" sides.

[0113] In this specification, the term "substituted" means that one or more hydrogen atoms on a specified atom or group are replaced by a specified group, provided that the normal valence of the specified atom is not exceeded under the existing circumstances.

[0114] In this specification, the hole characteristic refers to the conductive characteristic that can supply electrons when an electric field is applied and is attributed to the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level. The holes formed in the anode are easily injected into the light-emitting layer and transported in the light-emitting layer.

The electrons formed in the cathode are easily injected into the light-emitting layer and transported in the light-emitting layer.

[0116] The organic electroluminescent device of the present invention can be a bottom-emitting organic electroluminescent device, a top-emitting organic electroluminescent device, or a stacked organic electroluminescent device, and there is no specific limitation thereto.

The thickness of the anode depends on the material used, and is generally 50 - 500 nm, preferably 70 - 300 nm, and more preferably 100 - 200 nm. In the present invention, metal Ag is preferably used.

[0122] Cathode:

[0123] The cathode can be made of a conductor having a relatively low work function to assist electron injection, and can be, for example, a metal or an alloy thereof such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium, indium, aluminum, silver, tin, and combinations thereof; a multi-layer structure material such as LiF / Al, Li 2 O / Al, and BaF 2 / Ca, Mg / Ag, but not limited thereto. The thickness of the cathode depends on the material used, and is generally 10 - 50 nm, preferably 15 - 20 nm.

[0124] Light-emitting region:

[0125] In the present invention, the light-emitting region can be disposed 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 known in the prior art for organic electroluminescent devices can be used.

[0126] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the light-emitting region contains one or two host material compounds.

[0127] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the host material used in the light-emitting region is selected from one or more of the following compounds BH1 - BH6:

[0128]

[0129] In the present invention, the light-emitting region may comprise a phosphorescent or fluorescent guest material to improve the fluorescence or phosphorescence characteristics of the organic electroluminescent device. Specific examples of the phosphorescent guest material include metal complexes such as iridium and platinum. For the fluorescent guest material, those commonly used in the art may be used.

[0135] Hole injection layer:

[0136] The hole injection material used in the hole injection layer (also referred to as the anode interface buffer layer) is a material that can sufficiently accept holes from the anode at a low voltage, and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the hole injection material is preferably a value between the work function of the anode material and the HOMO of the adjacent organic material layer. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hole injection layer is a mixed film layer of a host organic material and a P-type doping material. In order to enable holes to be smoothly injected from the anode into the organic film layer, the HOMO energy level of the host organic material and the P-type doping material must have certain characteristics, so as to expect the occurrence of a charge transfer state between the host material and the doping material, realize ohmic contact between the hole injection layer and the anode, and thus achieve efficient injection of holes from the electrode to the hole injection layer. This characteristic is summarized as: the difference between the HOMO energy level of the host material and the LUMO energy level of the P-type doping material ≤ 0.4 eV. Therefore, for hole-type host organic materials with different HOMO energy levels, different P-type doping materials need to be selected to match them in order to achieve ohmic contact at the interface and improve the hole injection effect.

[0137] Preferably, the host organic material is an aromatic amine organic compound, but is not limited thereto.

[0205] The application effects of the synthesized organic functional materials of the present invention in devices are described in detail below through Device Examples 1-30 and Device Comparative Examples 1-19. The manufacturing processes of the devices in Device Examples 1-30 and Device Comparative Examples 1-19 of the present invention are exactly the same, and the same substrate materials and electrode materials are used. The film thickness of the electrode materials is also kept consistent. The difference is that the light-emitting auxiliary layer materials in the devices are replaced.

[0206] Device Comparative Example 1

[0207] The specific preparation process is as follows:

[0208] As Figure 1 shown, on the glass substrate layer 1 is an anode layer 2 (Ag (100 nm)) formed by vacuum evaporation. On the anode layer 2, using a vacuum evaporation device, HT1 and HI1 with a film thickness of 10 nm are evaporated as the hole injection layer 3, and the mass ratio of HT1 and HI1 is 97:3. Then, HT1 with a thickness of 120 nm is evaporated as the hole transport layer 4. Subsequently, EB-1 with a thickness of 10 nm is evaporated as the light-emitting auxiliary layer 5. After the evaporation of the above light-emitting auxiliary material is completed, the light-emitting layer 6 of the organic electroluminescent device is fabricated. Its structure includes BH1 used as the host material and BD1 as the doping material in the light-emitting layer 6, and the doping ratio of the doping material is 3% by weight, and the film thickness of the light-emitting layer is 20 nm. After the above light-emitting layer 6, HB1 is continuously evaporated with a film thickness of 5 nm as the hole blocking layer 7. On the above 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 evaporation film thickness of this 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 fabricated through 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, where the mass ratio of Mg and Ag is 1:9, is fabricated through a vacuum evaporation device, and this layer is used as the cathode layer 10. On the cathode layer 10, 65 nm of CP-1 is vacuum evaporated as the CPL layer 11.

[0209] The preparation methods of Device Examples 1-30 are the same as those of Device Comparative Example 1, except that the organic material of the light-emitting auxiliary layer uses the organic compound of the present invention application. The preparation methods of Device Comparative Examples 2-19 are the same as those of Device Comparative Example 1, except that the organic materials of the light-emitting auxiliary layer use 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, EB-14, EB-15, EB-16, EB-17, EB-18 and EB-19. The specific structures of Device Examples 1-30 and Device Comparative Examples 2-19 are shown in Table 4. The molecular structural formulas of the related materials are as follows:

[0216]

[0217] Taking the row of Example 1 in Table 4 above as an example, "HI1:HT1 = 3:97 10nm" in the second column of the table means that the materials used for the hole injection layer are compound HT1 and P-type doping material HI1. 3:97 refers to the weight ratio of P-type doping material HI1 to compound HT1 being 3:97, and 10nm represents the thickness of this layer; "110nm" in the fourth column of the table means that the material used is compound 1 and the thickness of this layer is 10nm, and so on for the meanings in other tables.

[0218] After preparing the organic electroluminescent device as described above, the cathode and anode are connected by a known driving circuit, and various performances of the device are measured. The measured performance results of the devices of Examples 1-30 and Comparative Examples 1-19 are shown in Table 5.

[0222] Note: LT95 refers to when the current density is 30 mA / cm 2The time when the device brightness decays to 95% of the original brightness; the current efficiency and color coordinates were measured using an IVL (current-voltage-brightness) test system (Suzhou FushiDa Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd.), and the current density was 10 mA / cm 2 ; the life test system is the EAS-62C type OLED life test system of System Science Co., Ltd. of Japan.

[0223] It can be seen from the device data results in Table 5 that compared with the device comparative examples 1-19, the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention has a greater improvement in both efficiency and life compared to the organic electroluminescent device of the known material.

[0224] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily.
