TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of organic optoelectronic material preparation, and particularly relates to an organic electroluminescent device and a lighting or display device comprising the same. BACKGROUND
[0002] An organic electroluminescent diode (OLED) is also known as an organic electroluminescent device. The OLED is a technology that converts electrical energy into light energy through organic light-emitting materials by applying a voltage to an organic electroluminescent element, injecting holes from an anode and electrons from a cathode into a light-emitting layer, and recombining the injected holes and electrons to form excitons to cause light emission.
[0003] In recent years, the industry has adopted a top-emitting structure light-emitting element in which a high work function metal is used for the anode and light is emitted from the top, so that the pixel circuit is not blocked and the light-emitting surface can be enlarged. Due to the deviation between the total refractive index of the constituent elements and materials (for example, glass substrate, organic material and electrode material) of the organic light-emitting device and the optimal refractive index depending on the emission wavelength of the organic light-emitting device, part of the light is totally reflected when the emitted light is emitted at a certain angle from the organic layer to the cathode, and only part of the light is utilized. In order to improve the light extraction efficiency and improve the color deviation, a light-emitting element with a high refractive index "cover layer" is usually provided on the outside of the low refractive index semi-transparent electrode to improve the performance of the OLED device. However, the current cover layer material has the problems of low light extraction efficiency, unobvious improvement of device light-emitting efficiency, etc.; resulting in high requirements for the preparation process, large differences in the quality of the obtained device products, and low yield.

Glass substrates (0.7T) were cleaned in ethanol, deionized water, and acetone for later use. A monolayer film of the compound of this invention with a thickness of 80 nm was deposited on the cleaned glass substrate. The refractive index (n) of the prepared monolayer film was measured at different wavelengths using an ellipsometer, and these values were used as initial parameters for modeling and fitting using the Cauchy formula. Simultaneously, adaptation and correction were performed using the B-spline model, GEN-OSC model, and Biaxial model to obtain representative n (refractive index) and K (extinction coefficient) test values for the compounds at different wavelengths. The comparative compound Ref-CP was used as a control example 1, and its structure is recorded in Table 1. The structure of Ref-CP is as follows: .

[0121]
[0122] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, compared with Comparative Example 1, the compounds prepared in Examples 1-14 of the present invention have a significant increase in refractive index in each wavelength region (RGB wavelength), and the absorption changes at 400nm and 430nm are not significant. This indicates that the capping material of this application can better improve the optical coupling efficiency of the device in the three colors of RGB.
[0123] Performance Test 2: Characterization of Device Luminescence Performance
[0124] The current of the OLED device at different voltages was measured using a Keithley 2365A digital nanovoltmeter, and then the current density of the OLED device at different voltages was obtained by dividing the current by the emitting area. The brightness and radiant energy flux density of the OLED device at different voltages were measured using a Konicaminolta CS-2000 spectroradiometer. Based on the current density and brightness of the OLED device at different voltages, the current density (10 mA / cm²) at the same voltage was obtained. 2 The operating voltage (Volt) and current efficiency (cd / A) are given by BI = E / CIEy, which refers to the Blue Index in blue light and is also a parameter measuring the luminous efficiency of blue light. E refers to the current efficiency, and CIEy refers to the ordinate color point obtained by substituting the wavelength of the device's emission half-peak into the CIE1930 software. The test data are shown in Table 2.
[0125] Table 2. Examples of Applications of Composite Materials and Their Electroluminescence Properties
[0126]
[0127] As shown in Table 2, compared with Comparative Examples 1-3, Application Examples 1 to 16 exhibit higher blue light BI luminous efficiency. The performance improvement in each application example is based on the significant increase in the refractive index n value of the capping layer material used in this invention, and the controllable absorption at 400, 430, and 460 nm. The compound material used in the capping layer of this invention has better film-forming stability and a higher refractive index. Combined with the defined hole-blocking layer material, its application in devices can improve luminescence and light extraction efficiency while reducing device power consumption.

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
