Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic electroluminescence technology, and specifically relates to a heterocyclic compound and an organic electroluminescence device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), as a next-generation display technology, have received widespread attention in the display and lighting fields, demonstrating broad application prospects. With the continuous development of OLED technology in display and lighting, higher demands are being placed on the performance of OLED devices, especially in terms of low power consumption, high efficiency, and long lifespan. Therefore, developing higher-performance functional materials and optimizing device structures have become current research hotspots.
[0003] In the most common OLED device structures, the following functional materials are typically included: hole injection materials, hole transport materials, electron transport materials, and luminescent materials (including host and guest materials). Electron transport materials, as a crucial functional material, directly influence electron mobility, ultimately affecting the OLED's luminous efficiency. Therefore, improving the mobility of electron transport materials and reducing device power consumption have become important directions for improving OLED device performance. By forming a tandem OLED structure, stacking multiple luminescent layers and sandwiching charge generation layers between them, mobility can be further improved. Charge generation layers typically include N-type and P-type charge generation layers, with the N-type charge generation layer playing a vital role as an electron transport material in improving mobility and reducing power consumption. However, performance improvements in these materials remain limited, and device efficiency and lifetime still require further improvement.
