AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies cannot effectively reduce the halogen content in materials during OLED device fabrication, especially the migration of halogens to the substrate in a free state within the cavity, which affects device lifespan.
Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound DT material is deposited before and after the luminescent layer is deposited. The halogen in the chamber is fixed by halogen bond complexation, which stabilizes the free halogen and prevents it from migrating to the substrate.
By using halogen bond complexation, the probability of halogens entering the light-emitting layer is reduced, thereby improving the lifespan and color purity of OLED devices and reducing long-term color deviation.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of OLED display devices, and particularly relates to a long-life OLED display device and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Organic light emitting diode (OLED) is a new generation of display technology, which has the display characteristics of self-emission, fast response and the like, and is applied to various display terminal fields. The Micro-OLED technology applied in the micro display field also makes people pay attention to another application method of OLED. Since the brightness of Micro-OLED is relatively high and the light emitting efficiency is relatively low, the heat is seriously accumulated, which seriously affects the life performance of the device. At the same time, there is a significant difference in the life of different light colors, and improving the life of blue and green is of great significance to improve the overall life and make up for the short life, and improve the long-term color deviation of the product device.
[0003] The halogen in the material is one of the substances that have been proved to have an important influence on the life, but the halogen is mainly involved in each reaction in the role of a coupling reaction catalyst in the synthesis of organic materials, such as [PdCl2(PPh3)2], [PtCl2(PPh3)2], AgBF4, FeCl3, etc. are widely used and contain halogen catalysts. The amount of catalyst used is proportional to the reactants, and since an excess is required, it is unavoidable that the product will reach the final OLED refining material. In addition, IrCl3 (iridium chloride) and PtCl4 (platinum chloride) are also used as precursors in the synthesis of light-doped materials to finally synthesize light-doped materials. Similarly, the synthesis path also introduces halogen Cl. In addition, other coupling reactions such as Suzuki coupling are also based on halogenated materials as raw materials, so a certain amount of halogen will also be left in the product. The halogen in the above synthesis reactions will eventually be left in the evaporation material, thereby affecting the characteristics of the final product device.
[0004] When the device is prepared by the evaporation method, the following methods can be used to improve the life in the process direction, such as improving the vacuum level of the chamber, chamber baking treatment, reducing the material evaporation temperature, reducing the exhaust (Outgasing) during material evaporation, etc. Such physical methods mainly reduce the water and oxygen in the chamber, and such molecules with small structures are easily pumped out under vacuum. However, the disadvantage of this method is that it can only target small molecules, so it has no targeting for improving the life performance, such as being unable to respond strongly to halogen substances.
[0005] In summary, the prior art cannot effectively reduce the content of halogen in the material during the preparation of the OLED device by the evaporation method, and the halogen in the material is in a free state in the chamber, and the free path is high under vacuum and high temperature, which is extremely easy to migrate to the substrate. SUMMARY
[0006] The present application aims to provide a long-life OLED display device and its preparation method, first by evaporating DT material before and after evaporating key film layers in the chamber, efficiently removing and stabilizing released halogen in the evaporation process, preventing halogen from ionizing and damaging the chamber atmosphere under vacuum and high temperature in the chamber, and avoiding final deposition on the substrate to reduce the service life of the OLED device.
[0007] The present application also aims to provide a long-life OLED display device for OLED display devices.
[0008] The present application provides a long-life OLED display device and its preparation method, including the following steps:
[0009] Evaporate DT material before and after evaporating the light-emitting layer.
[0010] The DT material is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound;

[0026] wherein R1, R2 are independent of each other, and are defined as the same as the foregoing description; that is, R1, R2 are independently selected from any one of hydrogen, deuterium, C1-C20 substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl, C1-C20 substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy.
[0027] Preferably, The structure of the DT material represented by General Formula (2) is any one of the following structural formulas:
[0028] DT1-1:
[0029] DT1-2:
[0030] DT1-3:

[0038] DT4-2:
[0039] DT4-3:
[0040] DT4-4:
[0041] DT4-5:
[0042] DT4-6:
[0043] Further, the evaporation DT material can be uniformly attached to the inner wall of the chamber, and the evaporation DT material is evaporated to the chamber before the evaporation of the light-emitting layer to the substrate in the chamber, so that the process of pre-evaporation is carried out to improve the atmosphere in the chamber and realize the dehalogenization treatment.
[0044] The evaporation DT material is used with a baffle during the evaporation of the DT material, and the DT material is not deposited on the substrate due to the blocking of the baffle before the evaporation of the substrate, and the thickness of the DT material layer on the substrate is 0 nm; the evaporation DT material is evaporated for 30 min.
[0045] Alternatively, the baffle is not used during the evaporation of the DT material, and the DT material is not only attached to the inner wall of the chamber, but also forms a DT material layer on the substrate, and the thickness of the DT material layer is 0-1000 nm, and the thickness is not 0 nm; preferably, the evaporation time is controlled within 30 min.

[0047] The application provides a long-life OLED display device prepared by the above method.
[0048] The application provides an application of the long-life OLED display device to an OLED display device.
[0049] The inventors found that halogen evaporated into the device exists as free ions or complexes, which can migrate at high current density, reach the light-emitting layer and affect the device characteristics. The stabilization of halogen is mainly achieved by halogen bond, which is a non-covalent interaction between halogen atoms (Lewis acid) and neutral or negatively charged Lewis bases. As a kind of intermolecular interaction parallel to hydrogen bond, halogen bond has a wide range of applications in many fields such as molecular recognition, chiral resolution, crystal engineering and supramolecular assembly. The bond energy of C-X bond combined with Lewis base is about 5-180 KJ / mol, and the bond length is about 1-3 angstrom; compared with the range of hydrogen bond energy, it has obvious advantages in molecular recognition. The present application uses halogen bond to remove and stabilize the halogen released during the evaporation of the material by intermolecular complexation.
[0050] The present application mainly provides a process method of evaporating a special DT material before and after the key film layer of the chamber, which fixes the halogen suspended in the chamber during preparation by complexation of halogen bond, so that the halogen deposited and suspended in the chamber wall is stabilized, and the influence of the adverse atmosphere on the service life of the device is reduced. Such DT material can be deposited in front and back of the light-emitting layer of the device in a relatively thin thickness during device preparation, and the probability of halogen entering the light-emitting layer can be reduced without affecting the energy level and electron mobility, so as to improve the service life of the OLED device. The structure of such DT material is a kind of organic Lewis base containing nitrogen heterocycle or oxygen heterocycle, the molecule of the material has more electron donor units, and contains a plurality of pyridine, imidazole, piperidine, pyrimidine or pyrazine units, and the basicity is further adjusted and improved by adding electron-donating groups. Hydrocarbon groups are added to adjust the molecular weight and film-forming property, so that the material has good adaptability in the device.
[0051] Compared with the prior art, the present application uses nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound DT, which can bond with free halogen to form a complex, thereby stabilizing the free halogen, forming a complex molecular group, reducing the molecular freedom, and reducing the free halogen inside the chamber. The DT is evaporated into the device, and due to the strong halogen bond between the Lewis base in the compound and the halogen atom, the complexation makes the halogen under the action of electric migration be largely limited outside the light-emitting layer, and the existence of the complex greatly reduces the probability of re-dissociation, thereby preventing the halogen from entering the light-emitting layer and directly damaging the service life.

Before fabricating the light-emitting layer, DT material DT4-6 is deposited into the chamber without a baffle, allowing the DT material to adhere uniformly to the inner wall of the chamber and deposit onto the electron blocking layer. The thickness of the DT material layer is [missing information]. A light-emitting layer is then deposited using a CBP:Ir complex, with an Ir doping ratio of 3%. After preparing the light-emitting layer, DT material is deposited into the chamber without baffles. The DT material adheres uniformly to the inner wall of the chamber and is deposited onto the light-emitting layer. The thickness of the DT material layer is... A hole-blocking layer is then deposited by evaporation using 1,3,5-tris(N-phenyl-2-benzimidazolyl)benzene (TPBI); an electron transport layer is then deposited using Alq3; an electron injection layer is then deposited using LiF; and finally, a cathode is prepared using Al.
[0141] The materials and thicknesses sequentially deposited on the anode of the device structure prepared in Example 2 are as follows:
[0142] Device C: m-MTDATA:F4TCNQ( 3% / NPB / TCTA / DT4-6 / CBP:Ir complex ( :3%) / DT4-6 / TPBI / Alq3 / LiF / Al
[0143] In Example 2, DT4-6 is deposited onto the substrate during the device evaporation process. A comparison of the DT-treated Device C and the standard Device A revealed that the voltage increased by 0.61V due to the increased film layer. Simultaneously, the overall lifetime was improved by 91% due to the improved chamber atmosphere resulting from the DT4-6 treatment. While the peak of this device showed a slight blue shift compared to Device B, the CIE of the color point was larger, resulting in higher color purity. Furthermore, it exhibited higher brightness at the same current, with a brightness improvement of approximately 7% compared to Device B. Although Example 2's optimization direction differed from Example 1, both examples improved lifetime levels to varying degrees.

[0153] Device Device E: m-MTDATA:F4TCNQ (3%) / NPB / TCTA / DT3-3 / CBP:Ir complex (3%) / DT3-3 / TPBI / Alq3 / LiF / Al
[0154] The test data summary table of Device A, Device D and Device E is shown in Table 2.

[0157] As shown in the above table, by comparing the Device D of Example 3 with the standard Device A, it is found that the voltage rises by 0.24V due to the extension of the evaporation chamber residence time. In Example 4, the Device E treated by DT3-3, the voltage rises by 0.22V. At the same time, due to the improvement of the chamber atmosphere by the treatment of DT1-2 and DT3-3, the overall lifetime is increased by 29.4% and 39.7% respectively.
