Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of organic optoelectronics, and particularly relates to an olefin-functionalized carbazole derivative and its application. Background Art

[0002] Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have broad application prospects in the fields of new displays, lighting, sensing, medical treatment, etc. In particular, as the display screen of current high-end smartphones, they have been popularized and applied, and the demand for iterative upgrading of related technologies is becoming more urgent.

[0003] Vacuum evaporation is the preparation process of current commercial OLEDs. However, due to high costs, material waste, difficulty in achieving large-area, rapid, and low-cost preparation, especially the metal mask plates required for the evaporation process are limited by size, it is difficult to prepare ultra-high-resolution displays and cannot meet the application requirements of scenarios such as virtual reality. The semiconductor devices prepared by solution processing technology require mild conditions, low energy consumption, and low cost, are suitable for the preparation of large-scale semiconductor devices, and can combine photolithography technology to achieve the preparation of ultra-high-resolution array films. However, due to the problem that the organic layer is easily dissolved by organic solvents, it is difficult to directly and continuously prepare multi-layer films based on the solution method. The photo-crosslinking method can make the crosslinked material become insoluble after crosslinking, which can solve the erosion problem caused by the use of solvents during the preparation between layers; at the same time, the crosslinkable luminescent material combined with direct photolithography technology can achieve high-resolution patterning, with a short process time, which is beneficial to realizing an ultra-high-resolution full-color display array and has important application prospects.

[0057] Example 2: Photophysical properties of the toluene solution of compound 1

[0058] Figure 1 The ultraviolet absorption spectrum, fluorescence spectrum and low-temperature phosphorescence spectrum of compound 1 are given. Compound 1 was formulated into a 7 mol / L toluene solution, and the solution was taken in a cuvette, and then the absorption spectrum and fluorescence spectrum were measured with a UV-visible spectrophotometer and a fluorescence photometer, respectively. The solution was taken in a quartz tube, cooled to -77 K, and then the low-temperature phosphorescence spectrum was measured with a phosphorescence photometer. The ultraviolet absorption peaks of compound 1 are located at 283 nm and 335 nm respectively, and the peak of the fluorescence spectrum of compound 1 is at 361 nm; and the triplet energy level of compound 1 can be calculated to be 2.98 eV through the low-temperature phosphorescence spectrum. The compound 1 prepared in this example has a relatively high triplet energy level, which can be beneficial to restricting excitons in the light-emitting layer, thereby improving the light-emitting efficiency.

To test the solvent resistance of the crosslinked film of the compound, a chlorobenzene solution (5 mg / mL) of Compound 1 and PETMP was mixed at a mass ratio of 9:1 and spin-coated on a glass substrate. Complete crosslinking could be achieved by irradiating with 365-nm ultraviolet light for 3 minutes. Then, the crosslinked film was eluted with chlorobenzene three times, and the UV absorption spectra of the film before and after rinsing with chlorobenzene were measured. It was found that the absorbance of the film hardly changed before and after rinsing with chlorobenzene, indicating that the material was completely crosslinked at this temperature and exhibited good solvent resistance.

After the treatment, spin-coat a layer of conductive polymer PEDOT:PSS on the ITO glass, and then bake it on a hot plate at 120 °C for 10 minutes. All subsequent operations are carried out in a glove box. Spin-coat a mixed chlorobenzene solution of Compound 1 (5 mg / mL) and thiol crosslinker PETMP (5 mg / mL) on the above PEDOT:PSS film, mix them at a mass ratio of 9:1, spin-coat at 1000 revolutions per minute on a spin coater, and then irradiate with ultraviolet light at 365 nm for 3 minutes to obtain a crosslinked hole transport layer. The light-emitting layer consists of 9-(3-(triphenylsilyl)phenyl)-9H-3,9′-bicarbazole (SiCzCz), polyvinylcarbazole (PVK), and 2,12-di-tert-butyl-5,9-bis(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-5,9-dihydro-5,9-diaza-13b-boroxino[3,2,1-de]anthracene (t-DABNA). Then, prepare a mixed solution of SiCzCz:PVK:t-DABNA according to a mass ratio of 77:20:3, spin-coat at 1000 revolutions per minute, and then heat it on a heating plate at 50 °C for 10 minutes. Subsequently, transfer the sample to a vacuum coating chamber, and sequentially evaporate a hole blocking layer of 2-phenyl-4,6-bis(3-(triphenylsilyl)phenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (mSiTrz, 10 nm), an electron transport layer of 1-(4-(10-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)anthracen-9-yl)phenyl)-2-ethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (ANT-BIZ, 60 nm), an electron injection layer of lithium octahydroxyquinolate (Liq, 1 nm), and a cathode aluminum electrode (100 nm). After the device is prepared, the electroluminescence performance is tested in a glove box.
