Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of luminescent materials, and particularly to an organic electroluminescent material, a preparation method thereof, and an organic electroluminescent device. Background Art
[0002] Due to a series of remarkable advantages such as self-luminescence characteristics, high contrast ratio, wide viewing angle, and fast response speed, OLED technology has been widely and deeply applied in many fields such as smart phones, televisions, displays, and lighting.
[0003] In the existing system, the hole transport material has a relatively low highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) value, which causes exciton diffusion, resulting in interface luminescence and uneven charge distribution in the light-emitting layer, thereby reducing the color purity, luminous efficiency of the device, and shortening the service life. To solve the problems of device life and efficiency, a light-emitting auxiliary layer (multi-layer hole transport layer) is usually introduced between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer. The main function of the light-emitting auxiliary layer is to assist the hole transport layer, also known as the second hole transport layer. It can promote the smooth transport of holes injected from the anode to the light-emitting layer, while blocking electrons from the cathode and confining the electrons in the light-emitting layer. This not only reduces the potential barrier between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer, enabling the driving voltage of the organic electroluminescent device to be reduced, but also further improves the utilization rate of holes, thereby effectively improving the luminous efficiency and service life of the device.
[0004] Currently, the materials that can be used to construct the light-emitting auxiliary layer and endow the device with excellent performance are very limited. Especially in terms of improving the life and luminous efficiency of OLEDs, the effect is not significant. With the continuous improvement of the requirements for material performance by panel manufacturing enterprises, the development of high-performance organic functional materials has become particularly urgent.

[0070] Other compounds of this application can be obtained by referring to the preparation methods listed above, so they are not listed one by one here. The mass spectrometer model is Waters XEVO TQD, with low precision and ESI source test.
[0071] The structure of an organic electroluminescent device is flexible and includes multiple organic layers such as a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer. The number of layers can be increased or decreased according to requirements. The compound of formula I prepared in the present invention is used as a material for a light-emitting auxiliary layer.
[0072] When manufacturing an organic light-emitting element, there are various methods for the compound of formula I to form an organic layer. The vacuum evaporation method can accurately control the film thickness and composition; the solution coating method includes spin coating, dip coating, blade coating, inkjet printing, screen printing, spraying, roll coating, etc. Spin coating is suitable for small-area and high-precision films; inkjet and screen printing are suitable for large-scale patterned production; dip coating, blade coating, spraying, and roll coating perform well in large-area and low-cost coating.
[0073] Organic light-emitting elements are classified into top-emitting, bottom-emitting, and bi-directional emitting types according to materials. The top-emitting type is suitable for upward lighting or display scenarios; the bottom-emitting type performs well in applications where it is closely combined with the underlying structure and light needs to be obtained from below; the bi-directional emitting type can be used for all-round lighting or display occasions. Its applications are extensive, covering many fields such as flat panel displays, computer monitors, medical monitors, lighting fixtures, wearable devices, virtual reality displays, etc.
[0074] The anode material needs to be selected from those with a large work function, such as metals and their alloys like vanadium, chromium, etc., which have good conductivity and a high work function. Metal oxides such as zinc oxide and indium oxide have transparency and a high work function and are suitable for transparent electrodes. Combinations of metals and oxides such as ZnO:A1 and conductive polymers such as polypyrrole and polyaniline can also be used as anodes. Conductive polymers are light in weight and can be solution-processed, having advantages in flexible electronic devices.
[0075] The hole injection layer is of the p-doped type. The p-dopant imparts p-type semiconductor characteristics to the material, can inject or transport holes at the HOMO energy level, improve the hole injection efficiency, and reduce the driving voltage.
[0076] The hole transport material is selected from arylamine derivatives, conductive polymers, and block copolymers containing conjugated and non-conjugated parts. Arylamine derivatives have good hole transport performance; conductive polymers have conductivity and flexibility; the unique structure of block copolymers can adjust various properties to adapt to different processes and device structures.
[0077] The light-emitting auxiliary layer (second hole transport layer) between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer can assist in hole transport, block electrons from the cathode, reduce the interlayer barrier, lower the driving voltage, improve the hole utilization rate, and improve the light-emitting efficiency and lifetime.
[0078] The light-emitting layer includes a host material and a dopant material.
[0079] The mass ratio of the host material to the dopant material is 90 - 99.5:0.5 - 10.
[0080] The host material is an aromatic polycyclic derivative or a heterocyclic compound. Specifically, the aromatic polycyclic derivatives include anthracene derivatives, pyrene derivatives, naphthalene derivatives, pentacene derivatives, phenanthrene compounds or fluoranthene compounds, and the heterocyclic compounds include carbazole derivatives, dibenzofuran derivatives or pyrimidine derivatives.
[0081] The doping materials include fluorescence doping and phosphorescence doping, specifically including aromatic amine derivatives, styrylamine compounds, boron complexes, fluoranthene compounds or metal complexes.
[0082] The electron transport layer promotes electron transport. It includes an electron buffer layer, a hole blocking layer and an electron transport layer, and high electron mobility materials need to be selected, such as aluminum 8-hydroxyquinolate and its derivatives. The electron injection layer promotes electron injection and prevents exciton migration. The materials include derivatives of oxazole, various metals and their alloys, metal complexes, nitrogen-containing five-membered ring derivatives, etc. The cathode selects materials with a small work function, and the layer thickness is 0.5 - 5 nm, such as multi-layer structures of magnesium-aluminum alloy, LiF / A1, etc., which are beneficial to electron injection.
[0083] Except for the fact that the light-emitting auxiliary layer disclosed in the present invention contains Formula I, there are no special restrictions on the materials of other layers in the OLED device. Existing hole injection materials, hole transport materials, hole transport auxiliary materials, doping materials, hole blocking layer materials, electron transport layer materials and electron injection materials can be used.
[0084] The following specifically describes the organic electroluminescent compounds and organic electroluminescent devices provided by the present invention in combination with specific application examples.

[0100] Comparative Example 1 - Comparative Example 22
[0101] The organic electroluminescent devices of Comparative Example 1 - Comparative Example 22 were prepared according to the above - mentioned method for preparing an organic electroluminescent device, with the difference that: Compound 13 in Application Example 1 was respectively replaced with Comparative Compound 1 - Comparative Compound 22, and the structural formulas of Comparative Compound 1 - Comparative Compound 22 are as follows:
[0102]
[0103] The driving voltage, luminous efficiency, BI value and lifetime of the organic electroluminescent devices obtained in the above - mentioned Application Examples 1 - 89 and Comparative Examples 1 - 22 were characterized at a brightness of 1000 (nits), and the test results are shown in Table 1 below:
[0104] Table 1 Test Results of Luminescence Characteristics (Brightness Value is 1000 nits)
[0105]
[0106]
[0107]
[0108] As known to those skilled in the art, in a blue - light top - emission device, the luminous efficiency is greatly affected by chromaticity. Therefore, considering the influencing factors of chromaticity on efficiency, the ratio of luminous efficiency to CIEy is defined as the BI value, that is, BI=(cd / A) / CIEy.
[0109] In the prior art, there are compounds substituted with deuterium and compounds not deuterated. From the test data, generally speaking, the compounds of the present invention have an unexpectedly improved lifetime, with an increase of about 160 - 210% compared with the prior art, the efficiency is improved, and the driving voltage is improved.
[0110] Specifically, Comparative Compound 1 and Compound 5 of the present invention, Comparative Compound 2 and Compound 269 of the present invention, Comparative Compound 3 and Compound 270 of the present invention, Comparative Compound 4 and Compound 271 of the present invention are parallel - comparison compounds. The difference is that the position of the dibenzofuran ring in the comparative compound is at the 3,4 - position, while that of the present invention is at the 1,2 - position;
[0111] Comparative compound 6 and the compound 272 of the present invention, and comparative compound 7 and the compound 273 of the present invention are parallel comparative compounds. The difference is that the dibenzofuran and arylamine in the present invention are connected in an ortho manner on the benzene ring, while the corresponding part of the comparative compound is in the meta position;
[0112] Comparative compound 8 and the compound 274 of the present invention; comparative compound 10 and the compound 275 of the present invention are parallel comparative compounds. The difference is only that the dibenzofuran of the comparative compound has no fused ring;
[0113] Comparative compound 12 and the compound 13 of the present invention, comparative compound 15 and the compound 5 of the present invention, comparative compound 18 and the compound 54 of the present invention are parallel comparative compounds. The difference is that the comparative compound has no deuteration;
[0114] In terms of device performance, compared with the parallel comparative compounds, the deuterated compounds of the present invention have an improvement in lifetime of 200%-210% for the compounds of the present invention, exceeding the improvement level of the conventional technical effects in the art.
[0115] Furthermore, the performance improvement of the present invention depends on the comprehensive factors in the following four aspects:
[0116] (1) The 1,2 positions of the dibenzofuran form a fused ring with the phenyl group, which can shorten the conjugated plane, increase the triplet energy level (T1) of the blue light emitting auxiliary layer, and improve the exciton blocking ability;
[0117] (2) The naphthobenzofuran and are connected in an ortho manner on the benzene ring, which makes the molecular configuration extremely distorted, shortens the conjugated length, increases the energy gap, enables the blue light emitting auxiliary material to have a shallower LUMO energy level while ensuring a suitable HOMO energy level, improves the electron blocking ability, increases the number of exciton recombinations, reduces exciton polaron annihilation, improves the efficiency and lifetime, and further increases the triplet energy level at the same time, playing a role in exciton blocking.
[0118] (3) Connecting benzene, biphenyl and other specific groups on can effectively reduce the HOMO energy level to a suitable position, enabling holes to be smoothly injected into the light emitting layer. The HOMO energy level of the side chain being fluorene is shallow, and the HOMO energy level of the side chain being dibenzofuran is deep. Only when the side chain is aryl, the energy level is between -5.60 eV and -5.65 eV, enabling holes to be smoothly injected and migrated to the light emitting layer.
[0119] Table 2 HOMO, LUMO, and T1 values of comparative compounds 1-22 and the compounds of the present invention
[0120]
[0121]
[0122]
[0123] Overall, the blue light-emitting auxiliary layer requires materials with a shallow LUMO energy level, a deep HOMO energy level, and a high triplet energy level. The energy level matching with other functional layers needs to be finely tuned. The HOMO energy level of the compound of the present invention is between -5.6 and -5.65 eV, and the LUMO energy level is between -2.25 and -2.35 eV; the HOMO energy level of the comparative compound is between -5.45 and -5.54 eV, and the LUMO energy level is between -2.45 and -2.55 eV. The triplet energy level of the compound of the present invention is between 2.40 and 2.50 eV, and that of the comparative compound is between 2.25 and 2.35 eV. Thus, although the prior art is similar to the compound of the present invention, the compound of the present invention has carefully designed and selected the fused ring position, the phenyl ortho-linkage mode, and specific aryl groups for the side chain, and a more excellent technical solution capable of improving the performance has been found therefrom.
[0124] (4) Deuterium must be present in the structure. The blue light-emitting auxiliary material is greatly impacted by excitons and is prone to bond breakage. After deuteration, the bond dissociation energy is enhanced and the lifetime is increased.
[0125] Table 3 Changes in dissociation energy before and after deuteration
[0126]
[0127]
[0128] The theoretical calculation of the dissociation energy of D or H at each position on the middle benzene ring of compound 13 and comparative compound 12 shows that at the position containing D, the dissociation energy is higher, the compound is more stable, and the device lifetime is improved.
[0129] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
