Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic electroluminescence technology, and more specifically, relates to an organic compound, an organic electroluminescent element, and an electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are self-emissive display devices based on organic light-emitting materials. Unlike existing liquid crystal displays (LCDs), they do not require a backlight and are thin, making them suitable for flexible devices (flexible light-emitting display devices). OLEDs utilizing organic light emission typically have an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer between them. To improve the efficiency and stability of OLEDs, the organic layer is usually composed of a multilayer structure made of various materials, such as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, and an electron transport layer.
[0003] A light-emitting auxiliary layer is typically added between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer to improve lifetime and efficiency. The light-emitting auxiliary layer can also assist the hole transport layer, reducing the potential barrier between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer, thereby lowering the driving voltage of the organic electroluminescent device, further increasing hole utilization, and thus improving the device's luminous efficiency and lifetime.
[0004] Research on organic electroluminescent materials has been extensively conducted in academia and industry, but so far, a stable and efficient organic layer material for organic electroluminescent devices that fully meets the requirements has not yet been developed. Therefore, developing higher-performance organic functional materials to reduce driving voltage, improve device luminous efficiency, and extend device lifetime has significant practical application value.

[0076] Organic electroluminescent elements
[0077] The organic electroluminescent element of the present invention uses a previously disclosed structure, comprising an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer located between the anode and the cathode, the organic layer comprising a light-emitting layer, and at least one layer of the organic layer comprising the compound of the present invention.
[0078] The organic layer also includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: hole injection layer, hole transport layer, electron blocking layer, hole blocking layer, electron transport layer, and electron injection layer.
[0079] The light-emitting element of the present invention can be fluorescent, phosphorescent, or a combination thereof. The light-emitting element can be a single light-emitting element or a series connection of multiple light-emitting units.
[0080] The following are examples of simple light-emitting elements, but are not limited to them.
[0081] (1) Hole transport layer / fluorescent layer / electron transport layer;
[0082] (2) Hole transport layer / phosphorescent emissive layer / electron transport layer;
[0083] (3) Hole transport layer / first fluorescent luminescent layer / second fluorescent luminescent layer / electron transport layer;
[0084] (4) Hole transport layer / first phosphorescent layer / second phosphorescent layer / electron transport layer;
[0085] (5) Hole transport layer / fluorescent layer / spacer layer / phosphorescent layer / electron transport layer;
[0086] (6) Hole transport layer / electron blocking layer / fluorescent layer / electron transport layer;
[0087] (7) Hole transport layer / electron blocking layer / fluorescent layer / hole blocking layer / electron transport layer;
[0088] (8) Hole transport layer / electron blocking layer / phosphorescent layer / electron transport layer;

[0090] (10) Hole injection layer / hole transport layer / phosphorescent layer / electron transport layer / electron injection layer;
[0091] (11) Hole injection layer / hole transport layer / fluorescent layer / electron transport layer / electron injection layer;
[0092] (12) Hole injection layer / hole transport layer / electron blocking layer / phosphorescent layer / electron transport layer / electron injection layer;
[0093] (13) Hole injection layer / hole transport layer / electron blocking layer / fluorescent layer / electron transport layer / electron injection layer;
[0094] ...
[0095] Some functional layers in the above device structure may or may not exist, such as the electron injection layer may not be used.
[0096] Each of the aforementioned phosphorescent / fluorescent emitting layers can emit light in a different color.
[0097] As a series-connected organic electroluminescent element, it can be an anode / first light-emitting unit / intermediate layer / second light-emitting unit / cathode. The intermediate layer can also be called a charge generation layer, electron extraction layer, or connecting layer. For example, when stacking fluorescent and phosphorescent light-emitting layers, an intermediate layer is placed between the fluorescent and phosphorescent light-emitting layers to prevent excitons generated by the phosphorescent light-emitting layer from diffusing to the fluorescent light-emitting layer, or to adjust the balance of charge carriers.
[0098] When an organic light-emitting device comprises multiple layers of organic materials, the organic material layers can be formed from the same material or different materials.
[0099] The organic electroluminescent element described in this specification can be manufactured using materials and methods known in the art, except that one or more organic material layers are made using the compounds described in this invention.
[0100] As cathode materials, materials with low work functions are typically used to facilitate electron injection into organic material layers.
[0101] The hole injection layer is a layer in which holes from the electrodes are injected and it has the ability to transport holes.
[0102] Hole transport materials are layers that receive holes from a hole injection layer and transport the holes to a light-emitting layer. Hole transport materials, when appropriate, can receive holes from an anode or hole injection layer and transfer the holes to a light-emitting layer, and have a high hole mobility.
[0103] A luminescent material is a material that can receive holes and electrons from the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer respectively, and combine the holes and electrons to emit light in the visible light region. The luminescent layer material consists of a host material and dopant materials.
[0104] An electron transport material is a layer that receives electrons from an electron injection layer and transports them to a light-emitting layer. It is also a material with high electron mobility that can receive electrons from a cathode and transfer them to a light-emitting layer.
[0105] An electron injection layer is a layer into which electrons from the electrodes are injected.
[0106] The hole blocking layer is a layer that prevents holes from reaching the cathode.
[0107] An electron blocking layer is a layer that prevents electrons from reaching the anode.
[0108] Depending on the materials used, the organic light-emitting device described in this specification can be a top-emitting device, a bottom-emitting device, or a dual-emitting device.
[0109] The charge generation layer is the intermediate layer located between the anode and cathode in a series-connected device, and it is the layer that generates holes and electrons by utilizing charge separation. The charge generation layer is usually formed by a P-type layer on the cathode side and an N-type layer on the anode side, which can effectively separate charges and efficiently transport charge carriers.
[0110] The core of this invention is to provide an organic compound having the structure shown in formula (1).

[0114] R1-R4 are each independently selected from substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl groups and substituted or unsubstituted C6-C60 aryl groups;
[0115] The substituents in the "substituted or unsubstituted" designation are each independently selected from deuterium, halogen, cyano, silyl, C1-C10 alkyl, C3-C10 cycloalkyl, C1-C10 alkoxy, C6-C30 aryl, and C3-C30 heteroaryl.
[0116] The heteroatoms in the heteroaryl, heterocyclic alkyl, heterocyclic alkenyl, and heteroaryl groups are each independently at least one of N, O, S, Si, and P.
[0117] Specifically, the organic compound is selected from the following structures:
