Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor materials, in particular to a compound containing a nitrogen-heterobenzene structure and an organic electroluminescent device thereof. Background Art

[0002] Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology can be used to manufacture both new display products and new lighting products, and is expected to replace existing liquid crystal displays and fluorescent lighting, with broad application prospects. An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) has a sandwich-like structure, including an electrode material film layer and an organic photoelectric functional material layer sandwiched between different electrode material film layers. The organic photoelectric functional material layer includes at least one light-emitting layer, and various organic photoelectric functional materials are stacked together according to their intended use to form an organic light-emitting device. As an electric current device, when a voltage is applied to the electrodes at both ends and the electric field acts on the positive and negative charges in the organic photoelectric functional material layer, the positive and negative charges further recombine in the light-emitting layer, generating organic electroluminescence.

[0003] Currently, organic electroluminescent display technology has been applied in smartphones, tablets, televisions, and other fields. However, compared with the actual product application requirements, the luminous efficiency and service life of organic electroluminescent devices need to be further improved. To achieve the continuous improvement of the performance of organic electroluminescent devices, it is necessary to continuously research and innovate organic optoelectronic functional materials to create higher-performance organic optoelectronic functional materials.

[0004] Organic optoelectronic functional materials used in organic electroluminescent devices can be divided into two major categories based on their uses: charge injection and transport materials and luminescent materials. Furthermore, charge injection and transport materials can be further divided into electron injection and transport materials, electron blocking materials, hole injection and transport materials, and hole blocking materials. For organic electroluminescent devices, holes are injected from the anode and electrons are injected from the cathode. They are transported in the organic functional layer and finally meet in the light-emitting layer to form excitons, which then recombine and emit light. The hole blocking layer is located between the light-emitting layer and the electron transport layer. It can block the diffusion or migration of holes to the electron transport layer and reduce the energy loss of excitons, playing a role in interface modification and auxiliary regulation of electron injection / transport. Due to the poor electron control ability and hole and exciton blocking ability of existing hole blocking layer materials, it is difficult to achieve an efficient electron-hole balance within the light-emitting layer, making it difficult to obtain high-efficiency, long-life devices. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the electron injection and transport ability, as well as the hole and exciton blocking ability of the hole blocking layer material, improve the stability of the material, achieve an efficient balance of excitons, and improve the efficiency and life of the device.

The encapsulation structure may be, for example, a can, such as a glass or metal can, or a thin film covering the entire surface of the organic layer.

[0142] Method for preparing organic electroluminescent device

[0143] The present invention also relates to a method for preparing the above-mentioned organic electroluminescent device, which comprises sequentially laminating a first electrode, an organic thin film layer, and a second electrode on a substrate. The organic thin film layer is formed by sequentially laminating a hole transport region thin film layer, a light emitting region thin film layer, and an electron transport region thin film layer on the first electrode from bottom to top. The hole transport region thin film layer is formed by sequentially laminating a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, and an electron blocking layer on the first electrode from bottom to top. The electron transport region thin film layer is formed by sequentially laminating a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer on the light emitting layer from bottom to top. Optionally, a light extraction layer may be laminated on the second electrode to improve the light extraction efficiency of the organic electroluminescent device.

[0144] Regarding lamination, vacuum deposition, vacuum evaporation, spin coating, casting, LB method, inkjet printing, laser printing or LITI method can be used, but are not limited thereto. Vacuum evaporation means heating and coating a material on a substrate in a vacuum environment.

[0145] In the present invention, it is preferred to use a vacuum evaporation method to form the various layers, wherein the layers can be formed at a temperature of about 100-500°C with a temperature of about 10 -8 -10 -2 Torr vacuum and about The vacuum evaporation is carried out at a rate of -6 -10 -2 Torr, more preferably 10 -5 -10 -3 Torr. The rate is about More preferably, about

[0146] In addition, it should be noted that the materials used to form each layer described in the present invention can be formed into a film alone and used as a single layer, or can be mixed with other materials to form a film and used as a single layer. It can also be a stacked structure between layers formed into films alone, a stacked structure between layers formed into films after mixing, or a stacked structure between layers formed into films alone and layers formed into films after mixing.

[0147] The following examples are intended to better explain the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0262] II. Device Preparation Example

[0263] The following describes in detail the effects of using the compounds synthesized according to the present invention as hole-blocking layer materials in devices using Device Examples 1-38 and Comparative Examples 1-13. Compared to Comparative Example 1, the devices in Device Examples 1-38 and Comparative Examples 2-13 utilize identical fabrication processes, identical substrate materials, and identical electrode materials, with the same electrode material thicknesses. The only difference is that the hole-blocking layer materials used in the devices are modified. The device layer structures are shown in Table 2, and the performance test results for each device are shown in Table 3.

[0264] The molecular structure formula of the relevant materials is shown below:

[0265]

[0266]

[0267] The structures of comparative compounds HB-1, HB-2, HB-3, HB-4, HB-5, HB-6, HB-7, HB-8, HB-9, HB-10, HB-11, HB-12, and HB-13 are shown above. The above materials are commercially available or can be obtained by conventional preparation methods in the art.

[0268] Device Comparative Example 1

[0269] The specific preparation process is as follows:

[0270] like Figure 1 As shown, the transparent substrate layer 1 is made of transparent glass. Ag (100 nm) is evaporated as the anode layer 2. On the anode layer 2, HT-1 and P-1 are evaporated to a thickness of 10 nm as the hole injection layer 3 using a vacuum evaporation apparatus. The weight ratio of HT-1 to P-1 is 97:3. HT-1 is then evaporated to a thickness of 130 nm as the hole transport layer 4. EB-1 is then evaporated to a thickness of 5 nm as the electron blocking layer 5. After the deposition of these electron blocking materials, the light-emitting layer 6 of the OLED light-emitting device is formed. BH-1 is used as the host material and BD-1 as the dopant material. The dopant ratio is 3% by weight, and the thickness of light-emitting layer 6 is 20 nm. Following this light-emitting layer 6, HB-1 is evaporated to a thickness of 5 nm as the hole blocking layer 7. ET-1 and Liq are then evaporated on top of this hole blocking layer 7. The weight ratio of ET-1 to Liq is 1:1. The vacuum-evaporated film thickness of this material was 30 nm, and this layer served as electron transport layer 8. A 1 nm thick LiF layer was formed on electron transport layer 8 using a vacuum evaporation device. This layer served as electron injection layer 9. A 16 nm thick Mg:Ag electrode layer (Mg:Ag mass ratio of 1:9) was formed on electron injection layer 9 using a vacuum evaporation device. This layer served as cathode layer 10. On cathode layer 10, 65 nm of CP-1 was vacuum-evaporated to serve as light extraction layer 11.

[0271] Device Examples 1-38 and Device Comparative Examples 2-13 were prepared in a similar manner to Device Comparative Example 1, except that the hole blocking layer materials listed in Table 2 below were used.

[0277] III. Device Testing Example

[0278] The device prepared in step II was tested for its current efficiency, CIEy, and LT95 life. The current efficiency and CIEy were tested using an IVL (current-voltage-luminance) test system (Suzhou Fushida Scientific Instrument Co., Ltd.) at a current density of 10 mA / cm 2 LT95 refers to the time it takes for the device's brightness to decay to 95% of its initial brightness. The current density during the test is 30mA / cm 2 The life test system is the EAS-62C OLED device life tester produced by Japan System Engineering Co., Ltd. The test results are shown in Table 3 below.
