Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of organic electroluminescent materials, and in particular relates to an organic electroluminescent material, an organic electroluminescent material containing a double host, and an organic electroluminescent device. Background Art

[0002] Organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs), as cutting-edge optoelectronic material systems that combine display and lighting functions, show broad market application prospects in new display products (such as smartphones and tablets) and new lighting products. However, under current technological conditions, core performance indicators such as luminous efficiency and service life still fall significantly short of actual product application requirements, urgently requiring technological breakthroughs.

[0003] The OLED structure consists of electrode material layers and organic functional materials sandwiched between them. As a current device, when a voltage is applied to the two electrodes of the OLED, the electric field separates the positive and negative charges in the organic functional material layer. The positive and negative charges then recombine in the light-emitting layer, generating electroluminescence from the OLED. Since the radiative transition of triplet excitons in most organic molecules is forbidden and contributes little to electroluminescence, doping with organometallic complexes such as platinum, iridium, and osmium allows the triplet excitons of organic molecules to transfer to the triplet state of the metal complex, thereby improving the efficiency of the organic light-emitting device. Therefore, the efficiency of OLEDs can be improved by host-guest doping in the light-emitting layer. However, triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) occurs during the transfer of triplet excitons, resulting in energy loss and causing efficiency roll-off in the organic light-emitting device.

[0004] Currently, problems such as excessively high driving voltage, low luminous efficiency, and short lifespan have become key technical bottlenecks hindering the widespread application of organic electroluminescent devices. Therefore, the development of dual-host organic electroluminescent materials with long lifespan and low driving voltage characteristics, as well as their corresponding preparation methods and high-performance organic electroluminescent devices, has become a core technical challenge that urgently needs to be overcome in the field of optoelectronic materials and devices. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In light of this, the present invention provides an organic electroluminescent material, an organic electroluminescent material containing a dual host, and an organic electroluminescent device. By using a dual host material, triplet excitons are dispersed across two hosts, reducing triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA). This reduces the driving voltage of the organic electroluminescent device while also improving the device's luminous efficiency and service life.

[0107]

[0108] Furthermore, the present invention also seeks to protect the use of the above-mentioned organic electroluminescent material containing a double host in the preparation of an organic electroluminescent device.

[0109] Specifically, the organic electroluminescent device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic electroluminescent material layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and the organic electroluminescent material layer includes a light-emitting layer; the light-emitting layer includes a doping material and the organic electroluminescent material containing a dual host as described above;

[0110] The mass ratio of the organic electroluminescent material containing the dual hosts to the doping material is (1-99):(99-1).

[0111] More specifically, the organic electroluminescent device includes an anode, a hole transport region, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport region, and a cathode. The light-emitting layer includes a first host material of Formula 1 and a second host material of Formula 2.

[0112] As the anode material, a material with a large work function is generally preferred so that holes can be smoothly injected into the organic material layer. Anode materials that can be used for the first electrode of the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention include: metals such as vanadium, chromium, copper, zinc and gold, or alloys thereof; metal oxides such as zinc oxide, indium oxide, indium tin oxide (ITO) and indium zinc oxide (IZO); combinations of metals and oxides such as ZnO:Al or SnO2:Sb; conductive polymers such as poly(3-methylthiophene), poly[3,4-(ethylene-1,2-dioxy)thiophene] (PEDOT), polypyrrole and polyaniline, but are not limited thereto.

[0113] Cathode materials generally prefer materials with a low work function to facilitate electron injection into the organic material layer. Cathode materials that can be used for the second electrode of the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention include, but are not limited to, metals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium, indium, yttrium, lithium, gadolinium, aluminum, silver, tin, and lead, or alloys thereof; and multilayer structures such as LiF / Al or LiO2 / Al.

[0114] The hole injection layer material is a material that receives holes from the anode at a low voltage, and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the hole injection material is preferably between the work function of the anode material and the HOMO of the surrounding organic material layer. Hole injection materials include metal porphyrins, oligothiophenes, organic materials based on arylamines, organic materials based on hexanitrile hexaazatriphenylene, organic materials based on quinacridone, organic materials based on perylene, anthraquinone, and conductive polymers based on polyaniline and polythiophene.

The thickness of the electron transport layer can range from 1 nm to 50 nm.

[0121] Depending on the materials used, the organic electroluminescent device may be a top emission type, a bottom emission type, or a double-side emission type.

[0122] Furthermore, the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention can be used in organic solar cells, electronic paper, organic photoreceptors or organic thin film transistors.

[0123] Through the above technical solutions, it can be seen that the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0124] The present invention provides an organic electroluminescent material having two host materials, wherein the organic electroluminescent material includes a first host material and a second host material, wherein the first host material is a compound having a structure represented by general formula 1, and the second host material is a compound having a structure represented by general formula 2. By using a specific combination of compounds as host materials in an organic electroluminescent device, the luminous efficiency and service life of the device can be effectively improved.

[0125] Specifically, the present invention adopts a compound of a first host compound with a specific structure and a second host compound with a specific structure, wherein the first host material adopts a molecule with a triazine skeleton, which has a high glass transition temperature and molecular thermal stability, suitable HOMO and LUMO energy levels, and a high Eg. At the same time, it is matched with a second host with a triarylamine structure, which has the ability to simultaneously enhance hole transport and electron transport. Therefore, when holes are injected into the p-type host and electrons are injected into the n-type host, the driving voltage is reduced while the lifespan is also enhanced.

[0151]

[0152] It should be noted that other compounds of the present invention can be obtained by referring to the synthesis methods listed above, so they will not be described here in detail. Device Example:

[0153] An organic electroluminescent device was prepared using the compound R030 prepared in Example 1 and the compound H28 prepared in Example 3. Specifically, the preparation method of the organic electroluminescent device is as follows:

[0154] ITO anode: The coating thickness is The ITO (indium tin oxide) glass substrate was cleaned twice in distilled water and ultrasonically washed for 30 minutes, then repeatedly cleaned twice with distilled water and ultrasonically washed for 10 minutes. After washing, it was ultrasonically washed in methanol, acetone, and isopropanol in sequence (5 minutes each time), dried, and then transferred to a plasma cleaning machine for washing for 5 minutes to obtain an ITO anode.

[0155] HIL (hole injection layer): 4,4',4"-tris(N-3-methylphenyl-N-phenylamino)triphenylamine (m-MTDATA) was vacuum-deposited on the ITO anode in an evaporation machine. A hole injection layer is formed.

[0156] HTL (hole transport layer): vacuum evaporation of NPB (i.e. N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-(1-naphthyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine) on the hole injection layer A hole transport layer is formed.

[0157] The light-emitting layer comprises a first host material, a second host material, and a guest dopant. After forming a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer is formed on the hole transport layer. The first and second host compounds, acting as hosts, are introduced into two chambers of a vacuum vapor deposition apparatus, respectively, while compound Z1, acting as a dopant, is introduced into another chamber. The two host materials are evaporated at a 1:1 ratio, while the dopant material is simultaneously evaporated at a different rate, deposited at a doping level of 3 wt% based on the total amount of host and dopant, to form a 40 nm thick light-emitting layer on the second hole transport layer.

[0158] HBL (hole blocking layer): bis(2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline-N1,O8)-(1,1'-biphenyl-4-hydroxy)aluminum (BAlq) was vacuum-deposited on the light-emitting layer. A hole blocking layer is formed.

[0159] ETL (Electron Transport Layer): Vacuum evaporation of 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq3) on the hole blocking layer An electron transport layer is formed.

[0160] EIL (Electron Injection Layer): Vacuum deposition on the electron transport layer An electron injection layer is formed.

[0161] Cathode: Evaporated on the electron injection layer Al is added to form a cathode to obtain an organic electroluminescent device.

[0162] Referring to the preparation method of the organic electroluminescent device provided in Device Example 1, another 43 organic electroluminescent compounds were selected to replace Example 1 and Example 3 for evaporation of the host material to prepare organic electroluminescent devices of the corresponding compounds.

[0163] Red light doping material (Z1)

[0164]

[0165] The device manufacturing processes of device examples 1-30, comparative examples 1-7 and parallel examples 1-6 are exactly the same, and the same substrate materials and electrode materials are used. The film thickness of the electrode materials is also consistent. The difference is that the two main materials are different. The specific parameters are shown in Table 1. The structure of the comparative example is as follows:

[0166]

[0167]

[0168] Performance testing: The driving voltage, luminous efficiency, and lifespan of the organic electroluminescent devices obtained in Comparative Examples 1-7, Parallel Examples 1-6, and Device Examples 1-30 were characterized at a brightness of 5000 (nits). The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0169] Table 1

[0170]

[0171]

[0172]

[0173] As can be seen from Table 1, by comparing device example 1-30 with parallel example 1-6, the efficiency of parallel example 1-6 is 34.7-37.8 cd / A, the driving voltage is 4.06-4.73 V, and the lifespan is 507-598 h, while the luminous efficiency of embodiment 1-30 of the present invention is 53.2-59.9 cd / A, which is significantly higher than parallel example 1-6; the driving voltage is 2.82-3.56 V, which is significantly lower than parallel example 1-6; and the lifespan is 712-854 h, which is much higher than parallel example 1-6.

[0174] It can be seen that the main material of the light-emitting layer adopts the first main compound of the specific structure of the present invention and the second main compound of the specific structure to greatly improve the luminous efficiency and service life. This is because the present invention not only provides a first main material with triazine as the skeleton, with a higher glass transition temperature and molecular thermal stability, suitable HOMO and LUMO energy levels, and a higher Eg, but also provides a second main body of a triarylamine structure for matching, which can enhance the hole transport ability and provide good electron transport ability. Therefore, when holes are injected into the p-type host and electrons are injected into the n-type host, the driving voltage will be reduced and the lifespan will be enhanced.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
