Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an organic compound and an organic light-emitting device comprising the organic compound. Background Art
[0002] Compared with other flat panel display devices such as existing liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma display panels (PDPs), and field emission displays (FEDs), organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have a simpler structure and various advantages in manufacturing processes. They have excellent high brightness and viewing angle characteristics, fast response speed, and low driving voltage. Therefore, they are being actively developed and commercialized in order to be used in flat panel displays such as wall-mounted TVs or as backlights, lighting, advertising boards, and other light sources for displays.
[0003] Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) consist of an organic layer between two electrodes. They operate on the principle that electrons and holes are injected into the light-emitting layer from the two electrodes. The electrons and holes combine to form excitons, which then drop from an excited state to a ground state, generating light.
[0004] An organic light-emitting device may include at least one light-emitting layer. Typically, an organic light-emitting device having multiple light-emitting layers includes light-emitting layers that emit light with different peak wavelengths, and a specific color can be achieved by combining light with different peak wavelengths.
[0005] These organic light-emitting devices can be categorized as either front-emitting or back-emitting devices. Front-emitting devices utilize a reflective second electrode (cathode) to transmit light generated in the light-emitting layer toward a semi-transparent first electrode (anode). Conversely, back-emitting devices utilize a reflective first electrode to transmit light generated in the light-emitting layer and reflected by the first electrode toward a transparent second electrode, which drives the thin-film transistor.

[0182] Experimental Example 1 – Determination of HOMO and LUMO
[0183] The role of the hole transport auxiliary layer is to reduce the holes accumulated at the interface of the light-emitting layer due to the HOMO energy level difference between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer. Therefore, it is preferred that the HOMO energy difference between the hole transport auxiliary layer and the light-emitting layer is smaller than the HOMO energy difference between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer.
[0184] Furthermore, in order to minimize the leakage of electrons from the light-emitting layer to the hole transport layer, the hole transport layer needs to have a LUMO level higher than that of the light-emitting layer.
[0185] To confirm whether the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention is suitable for use as a hole transport auxiliary layer material, the HOMO energy level (eV) and LUMO energy level (eV) were calculated using Spartan software (B3LYP DFT 6-31G* by spartan'16) and are shown in Table 2 below.

[0188] Example 1 - Fabrication of an organic light-emitting device (blue light-emitting layer)
[0189] Through the photo-lithography process, a substrate stacked with ITO (100nm) as the first electrode (anode) of the organic light-emitting device was divided into regions for the second electrode (cathode) and the first electrode (anode) and an insulating layer, and patterned. Then, with the purpose of increasing the work function of the first electrode (ITO) and cleaning it, UV-ozone treatment and surface treatment using O2:N2 plasma were performed.
[0190] Next, on the anode, a mixture of NDP-9 (2-(7-Dicyanomethylene-1,3,4,5,6,8,9,10-octafluoro-7H-pyren-2-ylidene)-malononitrile) and N4,N4,N4',N4'-tetra([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine in a ratio of 3:97 was deposited on the hole injection layer (HIL) to form a thickness of 10 nm. Next, N4,N4,N4',N4'-tetra([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine was vacuum deposited on the upper portion of the hole injection layer as a hole transport layer to a thickness of 100 nm, and compound 1 was formed on the upper portion of the hole transport layer (HTL) as a hole transport auxiliary layer to a thickness of 15 nm.
[0191] On the upper portion of the hole transport auxiliary layer, 9,10-bis(2-naphthyl)anthracene (ADN) as a host and 2,12-di-tert-butyl-5,9-bis(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-7-(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-5,9-dihydro-5,9-diaza-13b-boranaphtho[3,2,1-de]anthracene as a dopant were used. A 25nm thick blue emitting layer (BLEL) was deposited using a host:dopant ratio of 97:3 by weight.

A 1nm thick electron injection layer (Liq) was deposited on top of the ETL. At the cathode, a mixture of magnesium and silver (Mg and Ag) in a 1:4 weight ratio was deposited to a thickness of 16nm. On the cathode, N4,N4'-bis[4-[bis(3-methylphenyl)amino]phenyl]-N4,N4'-diphenyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine (DNTPD) was deposited to a thickness of 60 nm as a capping layer. A seal cap containing a moisture absorbent was attached to the capping layer using a UV-curable adhesive, and a protective film (encapsulation layer or protective layer) was formed to protect the organic light-emitting device from oxygen and moisture in the atmosphere, thereby manufacturing an organic light-emitting device.
