Abstract
Description
A composition and its application in the photoelectric field Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic optoelectronic materials and devices, and in particular to a composition, an organic functional material film containing the composition, a optoelectronic device, an organic light-emitting device and applications thereof in the optoelectronic field. Background Art
[0002] According to the principles of colorimetry, the narrower the half-width at half-maximum of light entering the human eye, the higher the color purity and the brighter the color. Display devices made with red, green, and blue primary colors with narrow half-width at half-maximum display a wide color gamut, realistic images, and high-quality images.
[0003] Currently, there are two mainstream methods for achieving full-color displays. The first involves display devices actively emitting light in the three primary colors of red, green, and blue, a typical example being RGB-OLED displays. The currently mature technology uses vacuum evaporation with fine metal masks to produce three-color light-emitting devices. This process is complex, costly, and difficult to achieve high-resolution displays exceeding 600ppi. The second method uses a color converter to convert the single-color light emitted by the light-emitting device into multiple colors, thereby achieving full-color display. For example, Samsung's blue OLED combined with red and green quantum dot (QD) films acts as a color converter. The light-emitting device in this method is simple to manufacture and has a high yield. Furthermore, the color converter can be implemented through various technologies, such as evaporation, inkjet printing, transfer printing, and photolithography. This allows for applications in display products with varying resolution requirements, ranging from as low as 50ppi for large-screen TVs to as high as 3000ppi for silicon-based microdisplays.
[0004] Currently, there are two main types of color-conversion materials used in mainstream color converters. One is inorganic nanocrystals, commonly known as quantum dots. These are nanoparticles (specifically quantum dots) of inorganic semiconductor materials (such as InP, CdSe, CdS, and ZnSe) with diameters ranging from 2nm to 8nm. Due to the limitations of current quantum dot synthesis and separation technologies, the half-width (FWHM) of the emission peak of Cd-containing quantum dots is currently between 25nm and 40nm, with color purity that meets NTSC display requirements. The FWHM of Cd-free quantum dots is between 35nm and 75nm. However, due to the generally low extinction coefficient of quantum dots, thicker films—typically over 10 microns—are required to achieve adequate absorption of blue light. This poses a significant challenge to mass production, particularly for Samsung's blue OLED technology with red and green quantum dots. The second type is organic dyes, including various organic conjugated small molecules with chromophores. These organic dyes generally have higher extinction coefficients than quantum dots, but due to intramolecular thermal relaxation and the high vibrational energy within the organic molecules, the emission peaks of these materials are broader, typically exceeding 60nm.
[0005] Previous patent applications by the present inventors disclosed color converters with a host-guest combination, where the host has a high extinction coefficient and the guest has a narrow luminescence spectrum. This approach provides a new design approach for developing thinner color converters. However, the stability of the host material, including its photostability and thermal stability, still needs to be significantly improved.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present invention, the triplet energy level (T1), the singlet energy level (S1), the HOMO, the LUMO, and the resonance factor strength f play a key role in the energy level structure of the organic material. The determination of these parameters is introduced below.
[0113] HOMO and LUMO energy levels can be measured by photoelectric effects, such as XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and UPS (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy), or by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Recently, quantum chemical methods, such as density functional theory (DFT), have also become effective methods for calculating molecular orbital energy levels.
[0114] The triplet energy level T1 of an organic material can be measured by low-temperature time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy or obtained by quantum simulation calculations (e.g., by time-dependent DFT), such as using the commercial software Gaussian 09W (Gaussian Inc.). The specific simulation method is described below. The singlet energy level S1 of an organic material can be determined by absorption or emission spectroscopy, or obtained by quantum simulation calculations (e.g., time-dependent DFT). The resonance factor intensity f can also be obtained by quantum simulation calculations (e.g., time-dependent DFT).
[0115] It should be noted that the absolute values of HOMO, LUMO, T1, and S1 depend on the measurement 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 and evaluation methods. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the values of HOMO, LUMO, T1, and S1 are based on time-dependent DFT simulations, but this does not affect the application of other measurement or calculation methods.

[0317] Example 2: Energy level structure of the compound
[0318] The energy levels of organic materials can be calculated through quantum calculations, such as using TD-DFT (time-dependent density functional theory) with Gaussian09W (Gaussian Inc.). For detailed simulation methods, see WO2011141110. The molecular geometry is first optimized using the density functional theory method "Ground State / DFT / Default Spin / B3LYP" with the basis set "6-31G(d)" (Charge 0 / Spin Singlet). The energy structure of the organic molecule is then calculated using the TD-DFT (time-dependent density functional theory) method "TD-SCF / DFT / Default Spin / B3PW91" with the basis set "6-31G(d)" (Charge 0 / Spin Singlet). The HOMO and LUMO energy levels are calculated using the following calibration formulas, with S1 and T1 used directly.
[0319] HOMO(eV)=((HOMO(G)×27.212)-0.9899) / 1.1206
[0320] LUMO(eV)=((LUMO(G)×27.212)-2.0041) / 1.385
[0321] The HOMO (G) and LUMO (G) are directly calculated using Gaussian 09W, with units in Hartree. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0332] Example 4: Abs / UV and extinction coefficient of the compound (comparison of solution and film)
[0333] The extinction coefficient of the compound and its Abs / UV spectrum in solution were determined as follows:
[0334] 1. Use a volumetric flask to prepare a toluene solution of the compound with a certain molar concentration.
[0335] 2. Use a UV-visible spectrophotometer (Puxi T9s) to measure the absorption spectrum of the solution and obtain the absorption peak position.
[0336] 3. The absorbance of the maximum absorption peak divided by the equivalent concentration of the solution substance is the molar extinction coefficient of the compound.
[0337] 4. The emission spectrum of the solution was measured using a fluorescence spectrometer (Hitachi, F-4700 FL Spectrophotometer) to obtain the emission peak position.
[0338] The Abs / UV spectrum of the compound in the film was measured by the following method:
[0339] 1. Prepare a toluene solution of the compound with a certain concentration.
[0340] 2. Apply the prepared toluene solution on a clean glass substrate.
[0341] 3. Spin coating and baking at 80℃ for 1 min to obtain a compound film.
[0342] 4. Use a UV-visible spectrophotometer (Puxi T9s) to measure the absorption spectrum of the film and obtain the absorption peak position.
[0343] 5. The emission spectrum of the film was measured using a fluorescence spectrometer (Hitachi, F-4700 FL Spectrophotometer) to obtain the emission peak position.
[0344] The extinction coefficients of the compounds and their absorption and emission peaks in solution and film are shown in Table 3.
[0345] Table 3
[0346] Table 3 above shows that the tested organic compounds H according to the present invention all have relatively high molar extinction coefficients.
[0347] Figures 2-33 show the absorption and emission spectra of toluene solutions and films of compounds 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26. As can be seen from these figures, the absorption and emission spectra of compound 1 according to chemical formula (1a-1) and compounds 2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26 according to chemical formula (1a-3) in solution and film are very similar, and the red shift of the spectrum in the film is very small. This is because the ortho-substitution on the aromatic group (here, benzene) in the aromatic amine effectively prevents the accumulation of molecules in the film. Similarly, the compounds according to chemical formulas (1a-2), (1a-4), (1a-5), and (1a-6) also have the same properties.
[0348] On the other hand, the spectra of compounds 16, 17, 20, and 21 in thin films exhibit significant red-shifts relative to their solution spectra, and their emission lines broaden due to molecular stacking effects in the films. Nevertheless, by combining compounds 16, 17, 20, and 21 with other compounds or polymers to form mixtures, they can potentially avoid stacking and maintain spectra similar to those in solution, making them suitable for use in color conversion layers.
[0349] As described above (Example 4), the optical properties of the compounds: absorption and fluorescence spectra were measured by a spectrophotometer (Puxi T9s) and a fluorescence spectrometer (Hitachi, F-4700 FL Spectrophotometer), respectively. Figure 34 shows the absorption and emission spectra of the toluene solution of compound E1; Figure 35 shows the absorption and emission spectra of the toluene solution of compound E2; Figure 36 shows the absorption and emission spectra of the toluene solution of E3; Figure 37 shows the absorption and emission spectra of the toluene solution of E4; Figures 38 and 39 show the absorption and emission spectra of the toluene solution and film of Comparative Example 1, respectively. The emission spectrum of the film of Comparative Example 1 undergoes a large red shift. Although it can still be used as a green or red light host, it may affect the color purity of the green light. In contrast, the red shift of the film spectra of compounds 2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26 is very small, which is more conducive to the preparation of CCL with high color purity.

[0351] The test method for the UV stability of the compound is as follows:
[0352] Prepare 1×10 -5Take 3 mL of a mol / L toluene solution and add it to a cuvette with a lid. Tighten the lid and place it in a UV-visible spectrophotometer to test the absorption spectrum. The absorbance of the maximum absorption peak is recorded as the initial value. Place the cuvette 12 cm away from the UV LED (365 nm & 255 nm). Irradiate for a period of time and take out the test absorption spectrum. After the test, continue irradiation. Repeat this process until the absorbance decays to 80% of the original value. Record the time and record it as t80.
[0353] The t80 of each compound is shown in Table 4 below:
[0354] Table 4
[0355] Figure 40 shows the absorption attenuation graphs of toluene solutions of Compounds 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 16, 17, 20, 22, 23, 24, and 26 and Comparative Example 2 after UV irradiation. Table 4 and Figure 40 show that: 1) the photostability of organic compound H according to the present invention is significantly improved compared to Comparative Example 2; and 2) among the structurally similar compounds 16, 17, and 20, the stability of the fluorinated compounds 16 and 17 is also significantly improved compared to the non-fluorinated compound 20.
[0356] Example 6: Blue Light Stability of Compound Films
[0357] The test method for the blue light stability of the films of Compound 10 and Comparative Example 1 is as follows:
[0358] Evaporate a compound film of about 800nm, seal it with a glass cover, and place it on a blue light LED (460nm, 3000cd / m 2 The brightness was measured 2.5 cm above the film using a luminance meter (Foshida, CS-2000A). The brightness of the first test was recorded as the initial value. The brightness was then measured over a period of time to obtain a brightness decay curve, as shown in Figure 41. As can be seen from Figure 41, the photostability of the film of Compound 10 was significantly improved compared to that of Comparative Example 1.
[0359] Example 7: Preparation of Color Conversion Film (CCL)
[0360] 7.1 Evaporation film: Compound 10 and luminescent material E1 or E2 or E3 are placed in crucibles respectively. The crucibles are placed in a thermal evaporation device and vacuumed to a vacuum degree of 1×10 -4 Pa, start heating the crucible to evaporate the two organic compounds onto the glass substrate. Stop heating after reaching the target thickness. Wait until it cools to 80°C, fill the thermal evaporation equipment with nitrogen to reach atmospheric pressure, and then open the cavity to obtain the evaporated CCL film.
[0361] 7.2 Solution-processed film: Take 48 mg of compound 10 and dissolve it in 1 mL of toluene solution, stir for 30 min, take 2 mg of luminescent material E1 or E2 or E3 and dissolve it in the solution, continue stirring for 30 min, take the stirred solution and drop it on the glass substrate, spin coat, and heat at 80°C for 5 min to obtain the CCL film.
[0362] 7.3 Resin film: Dissolve 48 mg of compound 10 in 1 mL of resin solution and stir for 30 min. Dissolve 2 mg of luminescent material E1, E2, or E3 in the solution and continue stirring for 30 min. Drop the stirred solution onto a glass substrate, spin coat, and cure with UV light to obtain a CCL film.
[0363] CCLs based on other organic compounds can be prepared in the same manner according to 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3.
[0364] Example 8: Results of OLED or LED+CCL film
[0365] 1. Top-emitting blue OLED + resin CCL: On the light-emitting surface of the top-emitting blue OLED, prepare a CCL resin film (E3 and E4 as light-emitting bodies) according to the above 7.3, with a thickness of about 4μm.
[0366] 2. Bottom-emitting blue OLED + resin CCL: On the light-emitting surface of the bottom-emitting blue OLED, prepare a CCL resin film (E3 as the light-emitting body) according to the above 7.3, with a thickness of about 4μm.
[0367] 3. Using a luminance meter (Foshida, CS-2000A), the spectra of a top-emitting blue OLED, a top-emitting blue OLED + resin CCL, a bottom-emitting blue OLED, and a bottom-emitting blue OLED + resin CCL were measured. Figure 42 shows a top-emitting blue OLED + resin CCL (E3 as the luminescent element); Figure 43 shows a bottom-emitting blue OLED + resin CCL (E3 as the luminescent element); and Figure 44 shows a top-emitting blue OLED + resin CCL (E4 as the luminescent element). As shown in Figures 42 and 43, the resin CCL according to the present invention can essentially absorb all of the blue light from the OLED in both top-emitting and bottom-emitting devices and convert it into a narrow spectrum of green light. As shown in Figure 44, the resin CCL according to the present invention can essentially absorb all of the blue light from the OLED in a top-emitting device and convert it into a narrow spectrum of red light.
[0368] Example 9: OLED with CCL (top OLED + vapor-deposited CCL)
[0369] 1. Top-emitting blue OLED + evaporated CCL: On the light-emitting surface of the top-emitting blue OLED, prepare a CCL evaporated film (E2 as the luminescent material) according to 7.1 above, with a thickness of 500nm.
[0370] 2. A luminance meter (Foster, CS-2000A) was used to test a top-emitting blue OLED and a top-emitting blue OLED with an evaporated CCL. Figure 45 shows that a top-emitting blue OLED with an evaporated CCL can produce a narrow green emission spectrum through the CCL film. However, due to the thin CCL film, blue light still transmits. Increasing the CCL film thickness can eliminate this problem.
