Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of organic electroluminescence, specifically to an aromatic amine organic compound, mixture, composition, and organic electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] Organic electroluminescence (OEL) technology utilizes the photoelectric properties of organic materials to directly convert electrical energy into light energy. Organic light-emitting devices based on this technology typically consist of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and multiple layers of organic functional layers. These functional layers include hole injection layers, transport layers, light-emitting auxiliary layers, light-emitting layers, electron transport layers, and injection layers, each containing specific organic materials designed to enhance the overall performance of the device.
[0003] When a voltage is applied between the electrodes, holes are injected into the positive electrode and electrons are injected into the negative electrode. The two combine to form excitons, which release light energy as they return to their ground state. As a typical representative of OEL technology, OLED has shone brightly in the fields of flat panel displays and lighting due to its many advantages, such as self-emissiveness, high brightness, high efficiency, low voltage, wide viewing angle, and high contrast. Its wide viewing angle, fast response, low voltage requirement, and ultra-thin design fully demonstrate the enormous potential and broad application prospects of OLED technology in the future.
[0004] Luminescent auxiliary materials can effectively balance carrier transport in OLED devices, strongly suppress electron back migration, and promote electron-hole recombination mainly in the central region of the emissive layer, reducing nonradiative recombination of excitons, thereby improving luminous efficiency and extending lifespan. Therefore, with the further development of OLED devices, the requirements for luminous efficiency and lifespan are becoming increasingly stringent, necessitating the development of more efficient novel luminescent auxiliary materials to further optimize the balance of hole and electron transport within the device, improve device efficiency and lifespan, and maintain a lower driving voltage.

[0182] Referring to the fabrication method of OLED-1, compounds synthesized in the examples were selected as luminescent auxiliary materials for OLED devices, and OLED-2 to OLED-34 devices were fabricated accordingly. It is understood that, in the fabrication methods of OLED-2 to OLED-34 devices, all experimental conditions are the same except for the luminescent auxiliary materials.
[0183] In one embodiment, referring to the fabrication method of the device embodiment, comparative compounds Ref-03 and Ref-04 were used as luminescent auxiliary materials to prepare comparative OLED-Ref-01 and OLED-Ref-02 devices, respectively. Compared with the fabrication method of OLED-1 device, the fabrication methods of OLED-Ref-01 and OLED-Ref-02 devices are identical except for the luminescent auxiliary materials.
