Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to organic electronic devices, such as organic light emitting diodes. More particularly, it relates to an organic light emitting diode device comprising a first host compound, a metal complex and a fluorescent emitting material in an organic layer, and a display device comprising the organic light emitting diode device. Background Art

[0002] Organic electronic devices include, but are not limited to, the following types: organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field effect transistors (O-FETs), organic light emitting transistors (OLETs), organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs), dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), organic optical detectors, organic photoreceptors, organic field effect quantum dots (OFQDs), light emitting electrochemical cells (LECs), organic laser diodes, and organic electroluminescent devices.

[0003] In 1987, Tang and Van Slyke of Eastman Kodak reported a bilayer organic light emitting diode device comprising an arylamine hole transport layer and a tris-8-hydroxyquinoline-aluminum layer as an electron transport layer and a light emitting layer (Applied Physics Letters, 1987, 51(12): 913-915). Once a bias voltage is applied to the device, green light is emitted from the device. This invention laid the foundation for the development of modern organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The most advanced OLEDs can include multiple layers, such as charge injection and transport layers, charge and exciton blocking layers, and one or more light emitting layers between a cathode and an anode. Since OLEDs are a self-emitting solid-state device, they offer great potential for display and lighting applications. In addition, the inherent properties of organic materials, such as their flexibility, can make them very suitable for special applications, such as in the fabrication of flexible substrates.

[0004] OLEDs can be classified into three different types according to their light-emitting mechanisms. The OLED invented by Tang and van Slyke is a fluorescent OLED. It only uses singlet emission. The triplets (or triplet states) generated in the device are wasted through non-radiative decay channels. Therefore, the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of fluorescent OLEDs is only 25%. This limitation has hindered the commercialization of OLEDs. In 1997, Forrest and Thompson reported phosphorescent OLEDs, which use triplet emission from heavy metals in complexes as emitters. Therefore, it is possible to harvest both singlet and triplet states, achieving 100% IQE. Due to its high efficiency, the discovery and development of phosphorescent OLEDs have directly contributed to the commercialization of active-matrix OLEDs (AMOLEDs). Recently, Adachi achieved high efficiency through thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) of organic compounds. These emitters have a small singlet-triplet gap, making it possible for excitons to return from the triplet state to the singlet state. In TADF devices, triplet excitons can generate singlet excitons through reverse intersystem crossing, resulting in high IQE.

[0005] OLEDs can also be classified as small-molecule and polymer OLEDs according to the form of the materials used. Small molecules refer to any organic or organometallic materials that are not polymers. As long as they have an exact structure, the molecular weight of small molecules can be very large. Dendrimers with a well-defined structure are considered small molecules. Polymer OLEDs include conjugated polymers and non-conjugated polymers with side-group light-emitting groups. If post-polymerization occurs during the manufacturing process, small-molecule OLEDs can become polymer OLEDs.

[0006] There are various methods for manufacturing OLEDs. Small-molecule OLEDs are usually manufactured by vacuum thermal evaporation. Polymer OLEDs are manufactured by solution methods such as spin coating, inkjet printing, and nozzle printing. If the materials can be dissolved or dispersed in a solvent, small-molecule OLEDs can also be manufactured by solution methods.

[0007] The emission color of OLEDs can be achieved through the structural design of the light-emitting materials. OLEDs can include one or more light-emitting layers to achieve the desired spectrum. For green, yellow, and red OLEDs, phosphorescent materials have been successfully commercialized. Blue phosphorescent devices still have problems such as blue unsaturation, short device lifetime, and high operating voltage. Commercial full-color OLED displays usually adopt a hybrid strategy, using blue fluorescence and phosphorescent yellow, or red and green. Currently, the rapid reduction in the efficiency of phosphorescent OLEDs at high brightness is still a problem. In addition, more saturated emission spectra, higher efficiency, and longer device lifetimes are desired.

[0008] Angew.Chem.Int.Ed.2023,62,e202304104 discloses a structural formula of The fluorescent compound and the device containing the compound utilize Ir(ppy)3 as a phosphorescent photosensitizer and are combined with different host materials to achieve good device performance of phosphorescent photosensitized fluorescence. However, this article only discloses the specific application of Ir(ppy)3 as a phosphorescent photosensitizer, and does not teach the device of a metal complex with other structures as a phosphorescent photosensitizer combined with a fluorescent material with a specific structure and the special effects thereof.

[0009] In addition to new luminescent materials, the combination of different materials, especially the combination of different phosphorescent photosensitizers, fluorescent materials, and / or host materials, is also particularly important for device performance. To meet the increasing demands in the industry, especially for higher device efficiency, longer lifespan, and other performance requirements, further research and development on the combination of different phosphorescent photosensitizers and fluorescent materials are still needed.

[0038] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an organic light-emitting device that can include the organic electroluminescent device disclosed herein.

[0039] Figure 2 is another schematic diagram of an organic light-emitting device that can include the organic electroluminescent device disclosed herein. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] OLEDs can be fabricated on various substrates, such as glass, plastic, and metal. Figure 1Schematically and non - restrictively shows an organic light - emitting device 100. The figures are not necessarily drawn to scale, and some layer structures in the figures may also be omitted as needed. Device 100 may include a substrate 101, an anode 110, a hole injection layer 120, a hole transport layer 130, an electron blocking layer 140, a light - emitting layer 150, a hole blocking layer 160, an electron transport layer 170, an electron injection layer 180, and a cathode 190. Device 100 can be fabricated by sequentially depositing the described layers. The properties and functions of each layer and exemplary materials are described in more detail in columns 6 - 10 of U.S. Patent US7,279,704B2, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0041] There are more examples for each of these layers. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,844,363, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety, discloses a flexible and transparent substrate - anode combination. An example of a p - doped hole - transporting layer is m - MTDATA doped with F4 - TCNQ at a molar ratio of 50:1, as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003 / 0230980, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Examples of host materials are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,303,238, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety and is awarded to Thompson et al. An example of an n - doped electron - transporting layer is BPhen doped with Li at a molar ratio of 1:1, as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003 / 0230980, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. U.S. Patents No. 5,703,436 and No. 5,707,745, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety, disclose examples of cathodes that include a composite cathode having a thin metal layer such as Mg:Ag and an overlying transparent, conductive, sputter - deposited ITO layer. The principles and uses of blocking layers are described in more detail in U.S. Patent No. 6,097,147 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003 / 0230980, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Examples of injection layers are provided in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004 / 0174116, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. A description of the protective layer can be found in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004 / 0174116, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0042] The above - described layered structure is provided by way of non - limiting examples. The functions of the OLED can be achieved by combining the various layers described above, or some layers can be completely omitted. It can also include other layers not explicitly described. Within each layer, a single material or a mixture of multiple materials can be used to achieve optimal performance. Any functional layer can include several sub - layers. For example, the light - emitting layer can have two different light - emitting materials to achieve a desired emission spectrum.

[0043] In one embodiment, an OLED can be described as having an "organic layer" disposed between a cathode and an anode. The organic layer can include one or more layers.

[0044] OLEDs also require a encapsulation layer, such as Figure 2 schematically and non - restrictively shows an organic light - emitting device 200, which Figure 1 differently, an encapsulation layer 102 can also be included above the cathode 190 to prevent harmful substances from the environment, such as moisture and oxygen. Any material capable of providing an encapsulation function can be used as the encapsulation layer, such as glass or an organic - inorganic hybrid layer. The encapsulation layer should be placed directly or indirectly outside the OLED device. Multilayer thin - film encapsulation is described in U.S. Patent US7,968,146B2, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0045] Devices manufactured according to embodiments of the present invention can be incorporated into various consumer products having one or more electronic component modules (or units) with the device. Some examples of these consumer products include flat panel displays, monitors, medical monitors, televisions, billboards, lights for indoor or outdoor lighting and / or signaling, head - up displays, fully or partially transparent displays, flexible displays, smart phones, tablet computers, phablets, wearable devices, smart watches, laptop computers, digital cameras, portable video cameras, viewfinders, microdisplays, 3 - D displays, vehicle displays, and taillights.

[0046] The materials and structures described herein can also be used in other organic electronic devices listed above.

[0047] As used herein, "top" means farthest from the substrate, and "bottom" means closest to the substrate. In the case where a first layer is described as being "disposed" "on" a second layer, the first layer is disposed farther from the substrate. Unless it is specified that the first layer "contacts" the second layer, other layers can exist between the first and second layers. For example, even though there are various organic layers between the cathode and the anode, the cathode can still be described as being "disposed on" the anode.

[0048] As used herein, "solution - processable" means capable of being dissolved, dispersed, or transported in a liquid medium in the form of a solution or suspension and / or deposited from a liquid medium.

[0049] As used herein, "end-emitting material" refers to the material that serves as the final light-emitting source when the organic electroluminescent device (a device whose light-emitting layer contains at least two light-emitting materials) described herein is lit. For example, if the light-emitting layer of the organic electroluminescent device contains a metal complex (phosphorescent light-emitting material) and a fluorescent light-emitting material, and when the device is lit, due to energy transfer, the metal complex does not emit light / almost does not emit light, and the device uses the fluorescent light-emitting material as the main light-emitting source, then the fluorescent light-emitting material at this time is the end-emitting material of the electroluminescent device, including but not limited to Device Examples 1 to 7 of the present invention. Of course, the end-emitting material in the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention can be one material or multiple different materials.

[0050] When it is believed that the ligand directly contributes to the photosensitive properties of the emissive material, the ligand can be called "photosensitive". When it is believed that the ligand does not contribute to the photosensitive properties of the emissive material, the ligand can be called "auxiliary", but the auxiliary ligand can change the properties of the photosensitive ligand.

[0051] It is believed that the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of fluorescent OLEDs can exceed the 25% spin statistical limit by delayed fluorescence. Delayed fluorescence can generally be divided into two types, namely P-type delayed fluorescence and E-type delayed fluorescence. P-type delayed fluorescence is generated by triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA).

[0052] On the other hand, E-type delayed fluorescence does not rely on the collision of two triplets, but on the conversion between the triplet state and the singlet excited state. Compounds capable of generating E-type delayed fluorescence need to have an extremely small singlet-triplet gap for the energy state conversion. Thermal energy can activate the transition from the triplet state back to the singlet state. This type of delayed fluorescence is also called thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). The remarkable feature of TADF is that the delayed component increases with increasing temperature. If the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) rate is fast enough to minimize the non-radiative decay of the triplet state, then the fraction of the singlet excited state refilled may reach 75%. The total singlet fraction can be 100%, far exceeding the 25% spin statistics of electro-generated excitons.

[0053] The characteristics of E-type delayed fluorescence can be seen in the exciplex system or a single compound. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that E-type delayed fluorescence requires the luminescent material to have a small singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔE S-T ). Organic non-metal-containing donor-acceptor luminescent materials may be able to achieve this. The emission of these materials is usually characterized as donor-acceptor charge transfer (CT) type emission. The spatial separation of HOMO and LUMO in these donor-acceptor type compounds usually results in a small ΔE S-TThese states can include CT states. Generally, donor - acceptor luminescent materials are constructed by connecting an electron - donor moiety (such as an amino or carbazole derivative) to an electron - acceptor moiety (such as an N - containing six - membered aromatic ring).

[0370] Synthesis Example 1: Synthesis of metal complex M-b26

[0371] Step 1: Synthesis of intermediate 3:

[0372]

[0373] Under nitrogen conditions, intermediate 1 (4.7 g, 16.9 mmol), intermediate 2 (5.5 g, 18.6 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (0.78 g, 0.67 mmol) and potassium carbonate (3.5 g, 25.3 mmol) were dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (90 mL) and water (30 mL). The reaction was heated to reflux and reacted overnight. After the reaction was complete, it was extracted with ethyl acetate (EA) and water. The organic layer was washed twice with an aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. Intermediate 3 (6.2 g, 15.1 mmol) was obtained by column chromatography.

For example, based on the total weight of the light-emitting layer materials, the host material can account for 75%-98%, the metal complex can account for 1%-20%, and the fluorescent light-emitting material can account for 1%-5%; or the host material can account for 88%-98%, the metal complex can account for 1%-10%, and the fluorescent light-emitting material can account for 1%-2%. In addition, the host material can be two materials, and the ratio of the two host materials to the host material can be 99:1 to 1:99; or, the ratio can be 80:20 to 20:80; or, the ratio can be 70:30 to 30:70.

[0385] In the present invention, the method for testing the triplet energy level of the compound is as follows:

[0386] Method for testing the triplet energy level of the metal complex:

[0387] The photoluminescence spectrum (PL) data of the compound to be tested was measured using a fluorescence spectrophotometer of model F98 produced by Shanghai Lengguang Technology Co., Ltd. The metal complex was dissolved in toluene solvent to prepare a 10 -5 M concentration solution. Nitrogen was passed through the prepared solution to remove oxygen for 5 minutes. The above solution was loaded into a quartz sample and excited with light of 400 nm wavelength at room temperature (298K) to measure its photoluminescence spectrum (PL).

[0388] The vertical axis of the PL spectrum is the phosphorescence intensity, and the horizontal axis is the wavelength. After taking the minimum value λ1 (nm) for the peak on the short-wavelength side of the phosphorescent PL spectrum, this wavelength value is substituted into the following conversion formula F1 to calculate the triplet energy level (or triplet energy).

[0389] Conversion formula F1: T1 (eV) = 1240 / λ1

[0390] Method for testing the triplet energy level of the host compound:

[0391] The photoluminescence spectrum (PL) data of the compound to be measured was determined using a fluorescence spectrophotometer of model F98 produced by Shanghai Lengguang Technology Co., Ltd. The compound was dissolved in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solvent to prepare a 10 -5 M concentration solution. Nitrogen was bubbled through the prepared solution for 5 minutes to remove oxygen. After loading the above solution into a quartz sample tube, it was placed in a Dewar flask and cooled to 77K. It was excited with light of 330nm wavelength and its photoluminescence spectrum (PL) was measured.

[0392] The vertical axis of the PL spectrum is the phosphorescence intensity and the horizontal axis is the wavelength. After taking the minimum value λ2 (nm) of the peak on the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence PL spectrum, this wavelength value was substituted into the following conversion formula F2 to calculate the triplet energy level.

[0393] Conversion formula F2: T2 (eV) = 1240 / λ2

[0394] The triplet energy level of the fluorescent luminescent material can be obtained by referring to the existing technical methods or the testing method of the above-mentioned main compound.

[0395] The triplet energy levels T1 (eV) of the following compounds were determined by the above method, and the specific results are shown in Table 1.

[0396] Table 1 Triplet energy level data of compounds

[0397]

[0398]

[0399] The relationship between the triplet energy levels of the host material and the metal complex in the light-emitting layer of the organic electroluminescent device has a crucial impact on the performance of the device. It was found that when the triplet energy level of the metal complex is higher than that of the host compound, energy easily back-transfers from the triplet energy level of the metal complex to the triplet energy level of the host compound, resulting in exciton quenching and thus reducing the luminescence efficiency of the device. In the device of the present invention, the triplet energy level of the host compound is higher than that of the metal complex, which can better transfer energy from the host compound to the metal complex, improve the energy transfer efficiency, lay a good foundation for the subsequent energy transfer from the metal complex to the fluorescent luminescent material, and better promote the energy transfer in the light-emitting layer, thereby obtaining a high-performance organic electroluminescent device.

[0440] Table 2 Partial device structures of Examples 1-5, 8 and Comparative Examples 1-7, 11

[0441]

[0442]

[0443] The material structures used in the device are as follows:

[0444]

[0445]

[0446] The CIE data of the device were measured at a constant brightness of 1000 cd / cm 2 , the maximum emission wavelength (λ max ), the full width at half maximum (FWHM), the driving voltage (V), the power efficiency (PE), and the lifetime LT97 of the device were measured at the initial brightness of 10000 cd / cm 2 . These data were recorded and shown in Table 3.

[0447] Table 3 Device data of Examples 1-5, 8 and Comparative Examples 1-7, 11

[0448]

[0449] The differences between Examples 1 to 4, Example 8 and Comparative Example 1 are only that: the structures of the metal complexes used in the device emitting layer are different. From the data in Table 3, it can be seen that compared with Comparative Example 1, the present invention adopts a specific L in the emitting layer aThe metal complexes of the ligands as phosphorescent sensitizers in Device Examples 1 to 4 and Example 8 of the fluorescent luminescent material BD-26 exhibit more excellent comprehensive performance: for example, the driving voltages are reduced by 0.84V, 0.63V, 0.43V, 0.13V and 0.66V respectively; the PEs are increased by 38.9%, 29.0%, 21.0%, 2.8% and 31.5% respectively. In addition, in terms of lifespan, it can be seen that Comparative Example 1 already has a relatively high lifespan level, while Examples 3 and 8 of the present invention maintain a long lifespan basically equivalent to that of Comparative Example 1. For Examples 1, 2 and 4, on this basis, an unexpectedly large increase is still achieved, with increases of 75.7%, 28.9% and 17% respectively.

[0450] The above data indicate that compared with the devices that do not use the metal complex of the specific L a ligand as a phosphorescent sensitizer of the present invention, the devices of the present invention that use the metal complex of the specific L a ligand as a sensitizer to sensitize the fluorescent luminescent material with a specific Formula 1-1 structure have more excellent comprehensive performance, can not only reduce the driving voltage, but also improve the PE and / or the device lifespan.

[0451] The differences between Examples 1 to 4 and Example 8 and Comparative Example 2 are only as follows: Examples 1 to 4 and Example 8 use the metal complex of the L a ligand represented by Formula 1 as a phosphorescent sensitizer, while Comparative Example 2 does not use a phosphorescent sensitizer. From the data in Table 3, it can be seen that the emission spectra of Examples 1 to 4 and Example 8 are basically the same as those of Comparative Example 2, and the full width at half maximum is very narrow, indicating that the devices of Examples 1 to 4 and Example 8 also achieve fluorescence emission. However, compared with Comparative Example 2 of the ordinary fluorescent device, the sensitized fluorescent devices of the present invention have significantly improved PEs and lifespans. Specifically: the PEs are increased by 70.4%, 58.2%, 48.3%, 26.0% and 61.3% respectively, and the lifespans are increased by 46.2 times, 33.7 times, 25.1 times, 30.5 times and 27.5 times respectively.

[0452] The difference between Example 9 and Comparative Example 12, and Example 10 and Comparative Example 14 is also only as follows: the Examples use the L aThe metal complex of the ligand serves as a phosphorus photosensitizer, while the comparative examples do not use a phosphorus photosensitizer. It can be seen from the data in Table 3 that the emission spectra of Example 9 compared with Comparative Example 12 and Example 10 compared with Comparative Example 14 are basically the same, and the full width at half maximum is very narrow, indicating that the devices of Example 9 and 10 also achieve fluorescence emission. However, compared with Comparative Examples 12 and 14 of ordinary fluorescent devices, the sensitized fluorescent devices of the present invention have significantly improved PE and lifetime. Specifically: compared with Comparative Example 12, the PE of Example 9 increased by 30.2%, and the lifetime increased by approximately 27 times; compared with Comparative Example 14, the PE of Example 10 increased by 32.1%, and the lifetime increased by approximately 29.6 times. The above data show that compared with ordinary fluorescent devices that do not use phosphorus photosensitizers in the light-emitting layer, the sensitized fluorescent devices of the present invention have very excellent performance, not only can maintain a narrow full width at half maximum of the spectrum, but also can significantly improve the PE and lifetime of the devices. In particular, the lifetime is increased by more than 25 times, well compensating for the deficiencies of ordinary fluorescent devices.

[0453] When Examples 1 to 5, Examples 8 to 10 are compared with Comparative Examples 3 to 7, Comparative Example 11, and Comparative Example 13 respectively, the difference is only that in Examples 1 to 5 and Examples 8 to 10, the metal complex of the present invention and a fluorescent light-emitting material are used simultaneously, and the device emits fluorescence; while in Comparative Examples 3 to 7, Comparative Example 11, and Comparative Example 13, only the corresponding metal complex is used without using a fluorescent light-emitting material, and the device emits phosphorescence. Compared with Comparative Example 3 for Example 1, Comparative Example 4 for Example 2, Comparative Example 5 for Example 3, Comparative Example 6 for Example 4, Comparative Example 7 for Example 5, Comparative Example 11 for Example 8, and Comparative Example 13 for Examples 9 - 10, the sensitized fluorescent light-emitting devices of Examples 1 to 5 and Examples 8 to 10 of the present invention show unexpectedly excellent performance in all aspects, such as having a lower driving voltage, a higher PE, a longer lifetime, and / or a narrower full width at half maximum. The above data show that the sensitized fluorescent devices of the present invention also have more excellent device performance compared with ordinary phosphorescent devices.

[0455] The implementation manner of Device Example 6 is the same as that of Device Example 1, except that the metal complex M-b26 is used to replace the metal complex M-a43 in the light-emitting layer (EML), and the weight ratio of the first host compound PH-1, the second host compound H-40, the metal complex M-b26, and the fluorescent light-emitting material BD-26 is 45.5:45.5:8:1.

[0459] The implementation of Device Comparative Example 8 is the same as that of Device Example 6, except that the first host compound PH-1, the second host compound H-40, and the fluorescent emitting material BD-26 are co-evaporated to form the emitting layer (EML) in the emitting layer (EML), and the weight ratio is 49.5:49.5:1.

[0461] The implementation of Device Comparative Example 9 is the same as that of Device Example 6, except that the first host compound PH-1, the second host compound H-40, and the metal complex M-b26 of the present invention are co-evaporated to form the emitting layer (EML) in the emitting layer (EML), and the weight ratio is 46:46:8.

[0462] Device Comparative Example 10

[0463] The implementation of Device Comparative Example 10 is the same as that of Device Example 7, except that the first host compound PH-1, the second host compound H-40, and the fluorescent emitting material BD-26 are co-evaporated to form the emitting layer (EML) in the emitting layer (EML), and the weight ratio is 59:40:1.

[0465] Table 4 Partial device structures of Examples 6-7 and Comparative Examples 8-10

[0466]

[0467] The material structures newly used in the device are as follows:

[0468]

[0469] The CIE data of the device was measured under a constant current of 15 mA / cm 2 , the maximum emission wavelength (λ max ), the full width at half maximum (FWHM), the driving voltage (V), the current efficiency (CE), the power efficiency (PE), the external quantum efficiency (EQE), at 10000 cd / cm 2The lifetime LT97 of the device was measured at the initial brightness, and these data were recorded and shown in Table 5.

[0470] Table 5 Device data of Examples 6-7 and Comparative Examples 8-10

[0471]

[0472] The difference between Example 6 and Comparative Example 8 is only that: in the light-emitting layer of Example 6, in addition to the fluorescent light-emitting material, the metal complex M-b26 containing a specific L a ligand of the present invention is further used as a phosphorescent sensitizer.

[0473] It can be seen from the data in Table 5 that the maximum emission wavelengths of Example 6 and Comparative Example 8 are almost the same, which indicates that the light emitted by the device of Example 6 comes from the fluorescent light-emitting material BD-26. However, compared with the ordinary fluorescent light-emitting device of Comparative Example 8, the device of Example 6 of the present invention can further achieve an unexpected significant improvement in device efficiency and lifetime while maintaining a narrow full width at half maximum and a low voltage comparable to those of Comparative Example 8. Specifically, the CE, PE, and EQE are respectively increased by 58.1%, 56.5%, and 57.9% significantly, and the lifetime is increased by 14.5 times.

[0474] The difference between Example 6 and Comparative Example 9 is only that: in Example 6, the metal complex of the present invention is used to sensitize the fluorescent light-emitting material with a specific structure of the present invention, and the device emits fluorescence, while in the light-emitting layer of Comparative Example 9, only the metal complex is used and no fluorescent light-emitting material is used, and the device emits phosphorescence. Compared with the phosphorescent device of Comparative Example 9, the performance of the sensitized fluorescent device of Example 6 unexpectedly shows more excellent effects in all aspects: having higher CE, PE, and EQE, a narrower full width at half maximum, and a lower voltage. In particular, the lifetime of the sensitized fluorescent device of Example 6 is 4.1 times that of the phosphorescent device of Comparative Example 9.

[0475] The difference between Example 7 and Comparative Example 10 is also only that: in the light-emitting layer of Example 7, in addition to the fluorescent light-emitting material, the metal complex M-b1 of the present invention is further used as a phosphorescent sensitizer.

[0476] Similarly, it can be seen from the device data in Table 5 that the maximum emission wavelengths of Example 7 and Comparative Example 10 are the same, indicating that the light emitted by the device in Example 7 also comes from the fluorescent light-emitting material. Compared with Comparative Example 10, Example 7 also further realizes a significant improvement in device efficiency and lifetime while maintaining a narrow full width at half maximum and a low voltage. Specifically, the CE, PE, and EQE are respectively increased by 80.9%, 82.7%, and 79.5% significantly, and the lifetime is increased by 19.4 times.

[0477] The above results show that, compared with both a general fluorescent light-emitting device that does not contain a phosphorus photosensitizer and a general phosphorescent light-emitting device that does not contain a fluorescent light-emitting material, the device of the present invention can efficiently sensitize the fluorescent light-emitting material having a specific Formula 1-1 structure by using a metal complex containing a ligand of a specific Formula 1 structure L in the light-emitting layer. It can not only maintain a low driving voltage level and a narrow full width at half maximum, but also significantly improve the device efficiency and lifespan, demonstrating unique advantages. a The ligand of the metal complex as a phosphorus photosensitizer can efficiently sensitize the fluorescent light-emitting material having a specific Formula 1-1 structure of the present invention, not only maintaining a low driving voltage level and a narrow full width at half maximum, but also achieving a significant improvement in device efficiency and lifespan, showing unique advantages.

[0478] In summary, the device of the present invention can efficiently sensitize the fluorescent light-emitting material having a specific Formula 1-1 structure of the present invention by using a metal complex containing a ligand of a specific Formula 1 structure L as a phosphorus photosensitizer in the light-emitting layer, enabling the device to exhibit excellent comprehensive performance.
