Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of optoelectronic devices and relates to an organic electroluminescent doping material and an organic electroluminescent device. Background Art
[0002] Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), also known as organic electric laser display or organic light-emitting semiconductor, refers to the phenomenon that organic semiconductor materials and luminescent materials emit light through carrier injection and recombination under the drive of an electric field. OLED is an organic electroluminescent device composed of relatively special organic materials. It can be divided into four types according to its structure, namely single-layer devices, double-layer devices, three-layer devices and multi-layer devices. Among them, the performance of the multi-layer structure is a relatively good structure, which can play the role of each level very well. The light-emitting layer can also be composed of a multi-layer structure. Since each emitting layer is independent of each other, it can be optimized separately. Therefore, this structure can give full play to the role of each organic layer and greatly improve the flexibility of device design.
[0003] The most important factor determining the luminous efficiency of organic EL devices is the luminescent material. Two generations of luminescent materials have been developed, and fluorescent materials have been widely used to date. However, first-generation fluorescent materials utilize singlet excitons, resulting in low internal quantum efficiencies, reaching a maximum of only 25%. Second-generation phosphorescent materials utilize triplet excitons, achieving a theoretical efficiency of 100%.
[0004] However, existing phosphorescent materials used in organic light-emitting devices suffer from low efficiency and short lifespan. Therefore, how to provide an organic electroluminescent material with long lifespan, high efficiency, and low driving voltage is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide an organic electroluminescent dopant material and an organic electroluminescent device. By introducing a carbazole group into the ligand, the present invention imparts a rigid planar conjugated structure to the compound, improving the intermolecular symmetrical dipole moment and simultaneously improving the material's phosphorescence quantum efficiency and electroluminescence efficiency. Furthermore, the carbazole aromatic structure is modified with groups such as alkyl chains, cycloalkyl groups, aryl groups, and heteroalkyl groups, significantly enhancing the thermal and photostability of the structure. This results in the resulting organic compound, when used in an organic electroluminescent device, reducing the device's startup voltage and increasing the device's luminous efficiency and lifetime.

[0138] The structure used is as follows:
[0139]
[0140] Device Comparative Examples 1-6
[0141] An organic electroluminescent device was prepared in the same manner as in Device Example 1, except that the doping compound I-1 in Device Example 1 was replaced by the structural compounds of Comparative Examples 1-6, respectively.
[0142]
[0143] The prepared organic electroluminescent device was subjected to the same test as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0144] Device Examples 2-48
[0145] The method of the device embodiment 1 is referred to above, except that the doping material I-1 is replaced by the corresponding compounds in Table 1.
[0146] The driving voltage, luminous efficiency and lifespan of the organic electroluminescent devices obtained from the above device examples and device comparative examples were characterized at a brightness of 8000 (nits). The test results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0147] Table 1
[0148]
[0149]
[0150] By comparing the comparative examples 1-6 with the organometallic compounds of the present invention, it can be seen that L B The ligand is introduced into the dibenzofuran by reintroducing a carbazole type group, so that the compound of the present invention is compared with the comparative example compound, and the structural compound of the present invention has a better rigid planar conjugated structure, which can effectively suppress the π-π stacking between molecules and reduce the energy level transition loss. At the same time, it can optimize the HOMO and LUMO energy levels, induce the electronic charge transfer excited state, enhance the spin-orbit coupling, increase the transition dipole moment, greatly enhance the material luminous efficiency and reduce its turn-on voltage at the same time. At the same time, the carbazole aromatic structure is modified by the alkyl chain, which greatly enhances the thermal stability and light stability of the structure, so that its service life is significantly increased. As can be seen from the above table, the organic electroluminescent device prepared by the compound of the present invention as the light-emitting layer doping material is significantly reduced in driving voltage compared with the organic electroluminescent device prepared by the comparative example, and the luminous efficiency and life are significantly improved.
[0151] By comparing the comparative examples 1-6 with the organometallic compounds of the present invention, it can be seen that by adjusting different L AThe structure of the ligand changes some electrons and groups, etc., changes the molecular spatial structure, improves the spin-orbit coupling effect of the luminescent molecule, makes it conducive to the generation of phosphorescence, enhances its quantum efficiency, and makes the compound of the present invention used as a doping material for the light-emitting layer. The organic electroluminescent device prepared therefrom has a significantly lower driving voltage, and a significantly improved luminous efficiency and life compared with the organic electroluminescent device prepared in the comparative example, and these figures are all beyond any value attributable to experimental errors.
[0152] Specifically, compared with the compound of comparative example 3, the compound of structure Example Ⅰ-87 of the present invention simply replaces the -SiMe3 group of the dual ligand with a -Me group, which directly affects the carrier mobility, balances solubility and orderly propulsion, promotes efficient charge transfer, and optimizes exciton utilization by adjusting molecular orientation and energy level matching, so that compared with the comparative example, the voltage is reduced and the life and efficiency are improved.
[0153] The above embodiment only lists the effect data of devices made with a part of the structural formula. This is a representative sampling test. According to the experimental data, the overall data is not much different and can represent the effects of other unlisted structures.
[0154] The applicant states that while the present invention uses the aforementioned embodiments to illustrate the organic electroluminescent materials and devices of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, nor does it necessarily rely on these embodiments for implementation. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that any improvements to the present invention, equivalent substitutions for the raw materials used, additions of auxiliary components, and selection of specific methods, etc., fall within the scope of protection and disclosure of the present invention.
