[0104] In this application, the horizontal emission dipole ratios of the fluorescent material and the phosphorescent material are respectively 80% - 100%.

[0106] The embodiments of this application provide a green organic electroluminescent material. Since both the phosphorescent material and the fluorescent material used have a high level of horizontal emission dipole orientation, the emission dipole moment directions of the phosphorescent material and the fluorescent material are more consistent, and the dipole-dipole interaction is enhanced, which is beneficial to the energy transfer between the phosphorescent material and the fluorescent material, inhibits Dexter energy transfer, promotes the consumption of triplet excitons, and inhibits triplet-triplet annihilation and triplet-polaron annihilation, thereby improving the device lifetime and efficiency.
[0107] Moreover, according to the structural general formula of the fluorescent material, after modifying the structure with boron and nitrogen as the core in the benzene ring derivative-modified fluorescent material, the π-π interaction between the fluorescent material and the phosphorescent material is increased, which is beneficial to improving the horizontal emission dipole orientation, making the transition dipole moment parallel to the substrate, and increasing the light extraction efficiency. According to the structural general formula of the phosphorescent material, after modifying the main ligand of the iridium complex with a benzene ring, the increase in the π-π interaction between the phosphorescent material and the fluorescent material is beneficial to improving the horizontal emission dipole orientation, making the transition dipole moment parallel to the substrate, and increasing the light extraction efficiency.
[0108] The green organic electroluminescent material provided by this application is composed of a host material, a phosphorescent material, and a fluorescent material. Among them, the phosphorescent material is a sensitizer, and the fluorescent material is a luminescent material. First, the sensitization mechanism of the phosphorescent material as a sensitizer is introduced as follows: Under the action of an electric field, carriers are injected through the electrodes and then transported by the carrier transport layer to the light-emitting layer, where singlet excitons and triplet excitons are formed on the host material and pass through Energy is transferred to the phosphorescent sensitizer by Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and Dexter energy transfer (DET). The spin - orbit coupling of the phosphorescent sensitizer is very strong, resulting in a considerable dipole strength for the donor triplet - acceptor singlet transition, thus enabling the FRET mechanism for the triplet state. Due to the doping of only a trace amount of luminescent material, the FRET from the phosphorescent sensitizer to the luminescent material is enhanced, the DET from the host material and the phosphorescent sensitizer to the luminescent material is suppressed, and the situation where the luminescent material directly captures carriers and emits light is also suppressed. Therefore, the host material and the phosphorescent sensitizer are basically transferred to the singlet state of the luminescent material through FRET, and the singlet state rapidly decays by radiation and emits light.
[0109] In this application, a phosphorescent material and a fluorescent material are co - doped into the host material to fabricate a phosphorescent - sensitized fluorescent organic light - emitting diode (PSF - OLEDs) device, which can not only achieve ultra - high efficiency but also maintain a narrow - band intrinsic spectrum. In addition, the carrier transport region, exciton recombination center, and light - emitting center are effectively separated, making the device more stable.
[0110] In the embodiments of this application, some examples of fluorescent materials can be shown as follows:
[0111]
[0112]
[0113]
[0114] In the embodiments of this application, some examples of phosphorescent materials can be shown as follows:
[0115]
[0116]
[0117] In the embodiments of this application, the host material includes: a hole - transporting host material and an electron - transporting host material;
[0118] The molar ratio of the hole - transporting host material to the electron - transporting host material is 1:9 to 9:1.
[0119] Among them, the molar ratio of the hole - transporting host material to the electron - transporting host material can be 1:9, 2:8, 3:7, 4:6, 5:5, 6:4, 7:3, 8:2, 9:1, etc. For example, the molar ratio of the hole - transporting host material to the electron - transporting host material is adjusted between 1:9 and 5:5 or between 9:1 and 5:5.
[0120] In the embodiments of the present application, a hole-transporting host material and an electron-transporting host material are compounded as the host material, and controlling the molar ratio of the two within the above range can achieve efficient carrier recombination, improve exciton generation efficiency, and thus enhance the external quantum efficiency of the device.
[0121] In the embodiments of the present application, the hole-transporting host material is a carbazole derivative, and the electron-transporting host material is a triazine derivative. The hole-transporting host material and the electron-transporting host material are introduced below respectively.

[0127] In a possible implementation manner, -L1-Ar1 and -L2-Ar2 are each independently selected from one of the following groups:
[0128]
[0129]
[0130] According to the structural formulas of these groups, these groups are benzene rings or their derivatives. When -L1-Ar1 and -L2-Ar2 are each independently selected from one of these groups, they can form a conjugated structure with the N nitrogen atom in formula (III), which is beneficial to increasing the π-π interaction between the host material and the phosphorescent material or fluorescent material, thereby increasing the light extraction efficiency.

The hole mobility of the P-type material is at least one order of magnitude higher than the electron mobility, the electron mobility of the N-type material is at least one order of magnitude higher than the hole mobility, and the hole mobility of the P-type material and the electron mobility of the N-type material are within one order of magnitude, and the P-type material and the N-type material can form an exciplex.
[0147] In a possible implementation manner, the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the fluorescent material and the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the phosphorescent material are both smaller than the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the host material;
[0148] and the absolute value of the LUMO energy level of the fluorescent material and the absolute value of the LUMO energy level of the phosphorescent material are both larger than the absolute value of the LUMO energy level of the host material;
[0149] Among them, the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the host material is the minimum value of the absolute values of the HOMO energy levels of the hole-transporting host material and the electron-transporting host material;
[0150] The absolute value of the LUMO energy level of the host material is the maximum value of the absolute values of the LUMO energy levels of the hole-transporting host material and the electron-transporting host material.
[0151] Among them, the HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital) energy level is the highest-energy electron-occupied orbital in the molecule, and the LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) energy level is the lowest-energy molecular orbital among the unoccupied molecular orbitals in the molecule.
[0152] In the embodiments of the present application, let |HOMO(GH)|, |HOMO(PGD)|, and |HOMO(FGD)| respectively represent the absolute values of the HOMO energy levels of the host material, the phosphorescent material, and the fluorescent material. Then the relationship among the three is: |HOMO(GH)| > |HOMO(PGD)|, |HOMO(GH)| > |HOMO(FGD)|. Among them, |HOMO(GH)| is the smaller value of the absolute values of the HOMO energy levels in the P-type material and the N-type material.
[0153] Let |LUMO(GH)|, |LUMO(PGD)|, and |LUMO(FGD)| respectively represent the absolute values of the LUMO energy levels of the host material, the phosphorescent material, and the fluorescent material. Then the relationship among the three is: |LUMO(GH)| < |LUMO(PGD)|, |LUMO(GH)| is less than |LUMO(FGD)|. Among them, |LUMO(GH)| is the larger value of the absolute values of the LUMO energy levels in the P-type material and the N-type material.
[0154] In the embodiments of the present application, when the HOMO energy levels and LUMO energy levels among the host material, the phosphorescent material, and the fluorescent material satisfy the above relationships, the triplet exciton density of the light-emitting layer can be reduced, and the device lifetime can be improved.
[0155] In a possible implementation, the energy of the lowest triplet excited state of the host material > the energy of the lowest triplet excited state of the phosphorescent material > the energy of the lowest triplet excited state of the fluorescent material;
[0156] The energy of the lowest singlet excited state of the host material > the energy of the lowest singlet excited state of the phosphorescent material > the energy of the lowest singlet excited state of the fluorescent material;
[0157] The energy of the lowest triplet excited state of the phosphorescent material is greater than the energy of the lowest singlet excited state of the fluorescent material.
[0158] In this implementation, let T1(GH), T1(PGD), and T1(FGD) respectively represent the energies of the lowest triplet excited states of the host material, the phosphorescent material, and the fluorescent material. Then the relationship among the three is: T1(GH) > T1(PGD) > T1(FGD).
[0159] Let S1(GH), S1(PGD), and S1(FGD) respectively represent the energies of the lowest singlet excited states of the host material, the phosphorescent material, and the fluorescent material. Then the relationship among the three is: S1(GH) > S1(PGD) > S1(FGD).
[0160] And, T1(PGD) > S1(FGD).
[0161] In the embodiments of the present application, the energies of the lowest triplet excited state and the lowest singlet excited state of the host material, phosphorescent material, and fluorescent material satisfy the above relationships, which can improve the energy transfer efficiency and avoid energy back-transfer, resulting in energy loss.
[0162] In a possible implementation, there is an overlap between the photoluminescence spectrum of the phosphorescent material and the absorption spectrum of the fluorescent material, and after normalization, the spectral overlap area is greater than or equal to 50% of the absorption spectrum area of the fluorescent material.
[0163] Among them, the peak position difference between the normalized electroluminescence spectrum of the phosphorescent material and the normalized absorption spectrum of the fluorescent material in the range of 490 nm to 550 nm is not greater than 20 nm. The peak range of the photoluminescence (PL) of the phosphorescent material is 510 nm to 540 nm, and the full width at half maximum is 20 nm to 50 nm. The peak range of the photoluminescence (PL) of the fluorescent material is 510 nm to 530 nm, and the full width at half maximum is 15 nm to 30 nm.
[0164] In the embodiments of the present application, there is a large overlap area between the photoluminescence spectrum of the phosphorescent material and the absorption spectrum of the fluorescent material, which can make the energy transfer more sufficient and the transfer efficiency higher, thereby improving the device lifetime.
[0165] In a possible implementation, the mole fraction of the host material is 83% to 94.5%, the mole fraction of the phosphorescent material is 5% to 15%, and the mole fraction of the fluorescent material is 0.5% to 2%.
[0166] In this implementation, the mole fraction of the host material is the ratio of the molar amount of the host material to the total molar amount. Similarly, the mole fraction of the phosphorescent material is the ratio of the molar amount of the phosphorescent material to the total molar amount, and the mole fraction of the fluorescent material is the ratio of the molar amount of the fluorescent material to the total molar amount. The total molar amount is the sum of the molar amounts corresponding to the host material, phosphorescent material, and fluorescent material respectively.
[0167] Exemplarily, the mole fraction of the host material can be 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 94.5%, etc., the mole fraction of the phosphorescent material can be 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, etc., and the mole fraction of the fluorescent material can be 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, etc.
[0168] In the embodiments of the present application, when the molar fractions of the host material, the phosphorescent material, and the fluorescent material are respectively within their respective ranges, the voltage of the organic light-emitting device can be reduced, and the efficiency and lifespan of the device can be improved. If the doping of the fluorescent material is relatively high, greater than 2%, it is likely to cause fluorescence quenching; if the doping of the fluorescent material is relatively low, less than 0.5%, it is likely to make the process difficult to implement and the energy transfer insufficient.
[0169] In the embodiments of the present application, the green organic light-emitting material includes a fluorescent material, a phosphorescent material, and a host material. Since both the phosphorescent material and the fluorescent material adopted have a high level of emission dipole orientation, the emission dipole moment directions of the phosphorescent material and the fluorescent material are more consistent, and the dipole-dipole interaction is enhanced, which is beneficial to the energy transfer between the phosphorescent material and the fluorescent material, inhibits Dexter energy transfer, promotes the consumption of triplet excitons, inhibits triplet-triplet annihilation and triplet-polaron annihilation, thereby improving the lifespan and efficiency of the device.
[0170] Moreover, the phosphorescent material is an iridium(III) complex, which has a high bond energy, a stable molecular structure, and a high luminescence efficiency. In addition, the host material is an exciplex formed by a P-type material and an N-type material. This combination is beneficial to carrier transport, reduces the driving voltage, expands the exciton recombination center, inhibits the formation of adducts and charge traps, and inhibits triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) and triplet-polaron annihilation (TPA), thereby further improving the lifespan and efficiency of the device and reducing efficiency roll-off.

[0258] In the embodiments of the present application, the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the electron transport layer material is higher than the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the hole blocking layer material, which can limit the radiative transition of excitons in the light-emitting layer, thereby improving the light-emitting efficiency. At the same time, the absolute value of the LUMO energy level of the electron transport layer material is higher than the absolute value of the LUMO energy level of the hole blocking layer material, which can enable electrons to be preferentially injected into the light-emitting layer, reduce the electron transport barrier, and improve the carrier injection balance.

[0265] E is selected from a substituted or unsubstituted pyrazino[2,3-f]phthalazinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted benzo[h]quinolinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted phenanthrolinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted acridinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted phenazinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted dibenzo-γ-pyrone group, a substituted or unsubstituted 1,8-naphthyridinyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted 1,5-naphthyridinyl group;

[0268] In the embodiments of the present application, some examples of hole blocking layer materials can be shown as follows:
[0269]
[0270]
[0271]
[0272] In one possible implementation, the lifetime of the triplet excitons of the hole blocking layer material is 1 μs to 1 s.
[0273] Exemplarily, the lifetime of the triplet excitons of the hole blocking layer material can be 1 μs, 2 μs, 5 μs, 10 μs, 20 μs, 30 μs, 50 μs, 100 μs, 200 μs, 300 μs, 400 μs, 500 μs, 600 μs, 700 μs, 800 μs, 900 μs, 1000 μs, 2000 μs, 3000 μs, 4000 μs, 5000 μs, 6000 μs, 7000 μs, 8000 μs, 9000 μs, 10000 μs, 100000 μs, 200000 μs, 500000 μs, 1 s, etc.
[0274] In the embodiments of the present application, when the lifetime of the triplet excitons of the hole blocking layer material is in the range of 1 μs to 1 s, the triplet energy can be transferred to the light-emitting layer through FRET and Dexter energy transfer (DET) methods, thereby improving the light-emitting efficiency of the device.
[0275] In one possible implementation, the energy of the lowest triplet excited state of the electron transport layer material and the energy of the lowest triplet excited state of the phosphorescent material are both greater than the energy of the lowest triplet excited state of the hole blocking layer material.
[0276] In this implementation, let T1(HBM), T1(ETM), and T1(PGD) represent the energies of the lowest triplet excited states of the hole blocking layer material, the electron transport layer material, and the phosphorescent material, respectively. Then the relationship among the three is: T1(HBM) < T1(PGD), T1(HBM) < T1(ETM).
[0277] In the embodiments of the present application, the energy of the lowest triplet excited state of the electron transport layer material and the energy of the lowest triplet excited state of the phosphorescent material are both greater than the energy of the lowest triplet excited state of the hole blocking layer material, which can avoid energy back transfer and reduce energy loss, thereby improving the light emission efficiency of the device.
[0278] In a possible implementation, the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the electron transport layer material > the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the hole blocking layer material > the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the host material;
[0279] And the absolute value of the LUMO energy level of the electron transport layer material > the absolute value of the LUMO energy level of the hole blocking layer material > the absolute value of the LUMO energy level of the host material;
[0280] Among them, the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the host material is the minimum value of the absolute values of the HOMO energy levels of the hole-transporting host material and the electron-transporting host material;
[0281] The absolute value of the LUMO energy level of the host material is the maximum value of the absolute values of the LUMO energy levels of the hole-transporting host material and the electron-transporting host material.
[0282] In this implementation, let |HOMO(ETM)|, |HOMO(GH)|, and |HOMO(HBM)| represent the absolute values of the HOMO energy levels of the electron transport layer material, the host material, and the hole blocking layer material respectively, then the relationship among the three is: |HOMO(ETM)| > |HOMO(HBM)| > |HOMO(GH)|. Among them, |HOMO(GH)| is the smaller value of the absolute values of the HOMO energy levels of the P-type material and the N-type material.
[0283] Let |LUMO(ETM)|, |LUMO(GH)|, and |LUMO(HBM)| represent the absolute values of the LUMO energy levels of the electron transport layer material, the host material, and the hole blocking layer material respectively, then the relationship among the three is: |LUMO(ETM)| > |LUMO(HBM)| > |LUMO(GH)|. Among them, |LUMO(GH)| is the larger value of the absolute values of the LUMO energy levels of the P-type material and the N-type material.
[0284] In the embodiments of the present application, the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the hole blocking layer material is higher than the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the host material, which can effectively block the transfer of holes from the light-emitting layer to the electron transport layer, forcing the holes to recombine with electrons in the light-emitting layer and improving the exciton formation efficiency. At the same time, the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the electron transport layer material is higher than the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the hole blocking layer material, which can further limit the radiative transition of excitons in the light-emitting layer, thereby improving the light emission efficiency.
[0285] The absolute value of the LUMO energy level of the hole blocking layer material is higher than that of the host material, which can block the diffusion of electrons to the hole blocking layer. At the same time, the absolute value of the LUMO energy level of the electron transport layer material is higher than that of the hole blocking layer material, which can enable electrons to be preferentially injected into the light-emitting layer, reduce the electron transport barrier, and improve the carrier injection balance.
[0286] In a possible implementation, the difference between the LUMO energy level of the hole blocking layer material and the LUMO energy level of the host material is less than or equal to 0.4 eV, that is, |LUMO(HBM)-LUMO(GH)|≤0.4 eV.
[0287] In the embodiments of the present application, when the difference between the LUMO energy level of the hole blocking layer material and the LUMO energy level of the host material is less than or equal to 0.4 eV, the energy barrier for electrons to transfer from the light-emitting layer to the hole blocking layer is relatively low, which promotes the efficient injection of electrons into the hole blocking layer and their transfer to the cathode, reducing the energy loss at the interface. Moreover, it can also prevent the accumulation of electrons in the light-emitting layer, improving the device current density and external quantum efficiency.
[0288] It should be noted that the main energy driving mechanisms for the short lifetime of green PSF-OLEDs are TTA and / or TPA. These reactions approximately double the energy of the excited state, which is sufficient to break the intramolecular bonds and convert the organic molecules into non-radiative quenching centers. In order to minimize the occurrence probability of high-energy annihilation events while maintaining high efficiency, the triplet exciton density in the light-emitting layer should be reduced to avoid triplet accumulation. However, in the related art, the energy of triplet excitons in the PSF-OLED light-emitting layer is high, and exciton accumulation at high brightness is likely to cause TTA and TPA, resulting in molecular bond breakage and material instability, ultimately leading to a short device lifetime.
[0289] In the present application, by designing a hole blocking layer material with an energy lower than the triplet energy of the fluorescent material, the density of triplet excitons in the light-emitting layer is reduced, triplet exciton accumulation is avoided, and the occurrence probability of TTA and / or TPA events is reduced, thereby suppressing the deterioration of the hole blocking layer material and extending the device lifetime. Moreover, the hole blocking layer material provided in the present application can also realize the energy reuse of triplet excitons, enabling the device to maintain high efficiency.
[0290] The embodiments of the present application also provide a preparation method for a hole blocking layer material, which includes:
[0291] Step 1: If the structural type of the hole blocking layer material is D-E, provide reactants D and E; make reactants D and E react to obtain the hole blocking layer material.

[0293] Step 3: If the structural type of the hole blocking layer material is E-D-E, provide reactants E and D, and react reactants E and D to obtain the hole blocking layer material.
[0294] Step 4: If the structural type of the hole blocking layer material is E-F-D-E, provide reactants E, reactant F, and reactant D; react reactants E and reactant F to obtain M3; react reactant D and reactant E to obtain M4; and react M3 and M4 to obtain the hole blocking layer material.
[0295] An embodiment of the present application also provides a display device, which includes any one of the above-mentioned green organic electroluminescent devices.
[0296] The display device provided by the embodiment of the present application has all the advantages of the green organic electroluminescent device. Exemplarily, the display device includes but is not limited to: OLED TVs, tablet computers, in-vehicle displays, MP3 players, smart watches, fitness trackers, virtual reality (VR) headsets, augmented reality (AR) glasses, etc.

[0346] I. Optical Physical Properties of Materials
[0347] (I) Orientation of Horizontal Emission Dipoles
[0348] The orientation degrees of horizontal emission dipoles of several fluorescent materials and phosphorescent materials are introduced below respectively.
[0349] Among them, the orientation degree of the horizontal emission dipole can be represented by the horizontal emission dipole ratio Θ / / The horizontal emission dipole ratios of the fluorescent material and the phosphorescent material can be referred to Table 1 and Table 2 respectively.
[0350] Table 1
[0351] Fluorescent material <![CDATA[Θ / / > GD-ref 82% GD-1 90% GD-2 89% GD-3 93% GD-4 94% GD-5 92% GD-6 92% GD-7 90% GD-8 91% GD-9 93% GD-10 92%
[0352] Table 2
[0353]
[0354]
[0355] Among them, GD-ref represents the reference compound of the fluorescent material, and PGD-ref represents the reference compound of the phosphorescent material, which are shown as follows:
[0356]
[0357] It can be seen from Table 1 and Table 2 that the orientation degrees of the horizontal emission dipoles of the fluorescent material and the phosphorescent material provided in the embodiments of the present application are both relatively high.
[0358] (II) Spectral Overlap
[0359] Refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 which is a schematic diagram of spectral overlap between the normalized photoluminescence spectrum of the phosphorescent material PGD-1 solution and the normalized absorption spectrum of the pure thin film of the fluorescent material GD-1. It can be seen from Figure 6 that the spectral overlap area between the phosphorescent material and the fluorescent material is relatively high, which is beneficial to FRET and thus beneficial to obtaining a highly efficient and stable green light device.
[0360] (III) Triplet Exciton Lifetime, Energy of the Lowest Triplet Excited State, HOMO Energy Level Value, LUMO Energy Level Value
[0361] Refer to Table 3, which shows the triplet exciton lifetime, energy of the lowest triplet excited state, HOMO energy level value, and LUMO energy level value of the host material (GH), phosphorescent material (PGD), fluorescent material (FGD), hole blocking layer material (HB), and electron transport layer material (ETM).
[0362] Table 3
[0363]
[0364]
[0365] Among them, GH-1 (P:N = 6:4) indicates that the molar ratio of the hole-transporting host material P-1 to the electron-transporting host material N-1 in the host material is 6:4.
[0366] It can be seen from Table 3 that the triplet exciton lifetimes of HB-3 and HB-4 are relatively long, and their T1 values are both lower than that of FGD-1. This is beneficial to the FRET from PGD-1 to FGD-1, thereby reducing TTA and TPA at the interface between the light-emitting layer and the light-emitting layer, improving the device efficiency and extending the device lifetime.

[0396] It can be seen from Table 4 that: at the same wavelength, the devices corresponding to Examples 1 to 12 have lower device voltage, higher current efficiency, and longer lifespan. Thus, it can be shown that after modifying the fluorescent material and phosphorescent material with phenyl or phenyl derivatives, the corresponding phosphorescent-sensitized fluorescent organic light-emitting diode devices have more excellent performance.
[0397] In addition, see Figure 7 , Figure 7 for the EL spectrum of the device corresponding to Example 2. It can be seen from Figure 7 that the peak of the electroluminescence wavelength of this device is indeed 536 nm.
[0398] (2) When testing based on the hole blocking layer, the device structure is: ITO / Ag / ITO(150 nm) / HIL(10 nm) / HTL(110 nm) / CCL(40 nm) / EBL(6 nm) / EML(35 nm) / HBL(5 nm) / ETL(30 nm) / EIL(1 nm) / Mg:Ag(15 nm) / CPL(70 nm).
[0399] Among them, the materials used for the light-emitting layer are P-1(60):N-1(40):PGD-1:GD-1(89%:10%:1%), and the materials involved in each layer remain unchanged.

[0401] Example 13: HB-3; Example 14: HB-4.
[0402] Use the IVL test equipment to obtain the organic light-emitting device at 5 mA / cm2 The voltage and current efficiency (CE). The service life test device obtains the LT95 (the time when the brightness decays from the initial value to 95%, i.e., LT 2 ), of the organic electroluminescent device under the conditions of 35 mA / cm 95 and 35 °C. The color coordinates CIEx and CIEy of the organic electroluminescent device are obtained using a color difference meter. The test results are shown in Table 5.

[0405] It can be seen from Table 5 that: The lifetimes of the triplet excitons of the hole blocking layer materials in Example 13 and Example 14 are relatively long. The energy of the first triplet excited state is lower than that of the triplet first excited state of the fluorescent material, and the HOMO energy level and LUMO energy level are matched. Therefore, the carrier transport performance of the Single device is excellent, the exciton recombination center is wide, TTA and TPA are suppressed, and the lifetime and efficiency of the device are more excellent.
[0406] See Figure 8 , Figure 8 for the EL spectrum of the device corresponding to Example 14. It can be seen from Figure 8 that: The peak of the electroluminescence wavelength of this device is 536 nm.
[0407] See Figure 9 , Figure 9 for the lifetime decay schematic diagram of the device corresponding to Example 14. It can also be seen from Figure 9 that: The LT 95 lifetime of the device corresponding to Example 14 is indeed 80 h. It can thus be shown that: The hole blocking layer material used in this application can indeed improve the lifetime of the device.
