TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of display, in particular to an organic compound, a composition, an organic light-emitting element and a display panel. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, an organic electroluminescent element generally comprises an anode, a cathode and an organic functional layer between the two, and utilizes the organic substance of the organic functional layer to convert electrical energy into light energy, thereby realizing organic electroluminescence. In order to improve the luminous efficiency and service life of the organic electroluminescent element, the organic functional layer often comprises a multi-layer structure, and the organic substances of each layer are different. Specifically, according to the functional classification, the organic functional layer generally comprises, but is not limited to, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer and an electron injection layer, etc., thereby realizing a large number of commercial electronic device products, and the performance of the organic electroluminescent element has been recognized.
[0003] When the organic electroluminescent element works, by applying a voltage between the anode and the cathode, the anode injects holes into the organic functional layer, and the cathode injects electrons into the organic functional layer. The injected holes and electrons meet to form excitons, and the excitons emit light when they return to the ground state by radiative transition, thereby realizing the light emission of the organic electroluminescent element. However, as time goes by and is exposed to different waveband light, the organic electroluminescent element is long-term in the environment with high-energy ultraviolet light, and the organic substances of each layer may be continuously affected. In order to solve this problem, a light extraction layer with ultraviolet absorption characteristics can generally be used on the organic light-emitting element. In addition, due to the self-luminescence and wide viewing angle characteristics of the light-emitting layer of the organic electroluminescent element, different viewing angles will bring deviations, and the refractive indices of the glass substrate, metal electrode and various organic materials in the organic electroluminescent element do not match the refractive index based on the emission wavelength generated by the light-emitting layer, resulting in low light extraction efficiency. In order to solve this problem, adding a low-refractive-index light extraction layer and a high-refractive-index light extraction layer above the cathode to achieve optical optimization has been considered as one of the effective means to improve the light extraction efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, in order to realize a more stable and efficient organic electroluminescent element, it is urgent to develop a light extraction layer material that meets the high refractive index to avoid the aging of organic materials and improve the light extraction efficiency, thereby improving the service life and luminous efficiency of the organic electroluminescent element. SUMMARY

The organic compound is applied to the organic light-emitting element as a light extraction layer material, which can improve the light extraction efficiency of the organic light-emitting element, and can also be matched with an organic compound with a lower refractive index to jointly improve the light extraction efficiency of the organic light-emitting element.

[0010] In the organic compounds, compositions, organic light-emitting elements, and display panels provided in this application, the organic compound material represented by general formula (1) has a high refractive index. This organic compound can be used as a high-refractive-index light extraction layer material. When combined with a low-refractive-index light extraction layer material and applied to the light extraction layer of the organic light-emitting element, it can achieve an enhanced microcavity effect, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the organic light-emitting element. Specifically, in terms of molecular structure, the organic compound provided in this application utilizes a benzene-anthracene group combined with a tertiary amine skeleton and heteroatom small fused ring groups.

[0261] like Figure 1As shown in the illustration, this application also provides an organic light-emitting element 100, which includes a first electrode 11, a second electrode 18, an organic functional layer, and a light extraction layer 19. The second electrode 18 is disposed opposite to the first electrode 11. The organic functional layer is located between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 18. The light extraction layer 19 is located on the side of the first electrode 11 away from the organic functional layer, or on the side of the second electrode 18 away from the organic functional layer. The material of the light extraction layer 19 includes at least one of the organic compounds described in the foregoing embodiments, or the light extraction layer 19 is made using the composition described in the foregoing embodiments.
[0262] Specifically, the organic light-emitting element 100 includes, but is not limited to, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs), organic light-emitting electrochemical cells (OLEECs), organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), organic light-emitting field-effect transistors (OLEFETs), organic lasers, organic spintronic devices, organic sensors, and organic plasmon emission diodes (OPEDs).

[0263] In some embodiments, the light extraction layer 19 includes a first sub-light extraction layer 191 and a second sub-light extraction layer 192 stacked together, the second sub-light extraction layer 192 being located on the side of the first sub-light extraction layer 191 away from the organic functional layer. The refractive index of the second sub-light extraction layer 192 is greater than the refractive index of the first sub-light extraction layer 191, and the material of the second sub-light extraction layer 192 includes at least one of the organic compounds.
[0264] Understandably, the first sub-light extraction layer 191 is a low-refractive-index film layer, and the second sub-light extraction layer 192 is a high-refractive-index film layer; the second sub-light extraction layer 192 is prepared using the aforementioned organic compound or composition. In this embodiment, the refractive indices of the first sub-light extraction layer 191 and the second sub-light extraction layer 192 are matched to effectively improve the light extraction efficiency of the organic light-emitting element 100.
[0265] In some embodiments, the refractive index of the second sub-light extraction layer 192 for light with a wavelength of 630 nm is greater than 1.99. In a preferred embodiment, the refractive index of the second sub-light extraction layer 192 for light with a wavelength of 630 nm is greater than 2.08. In a more preferred embodiment, the refractive index of the second sub-light extraction layer 192 for light with a wavelength of 630 nm is greater than 2.14.
[0266] In some embodiments, the first electrode 11 is an anode and the second electrode 18 is a cathode, but this is not a limitation. This application embodiment illustrates an example where the light extraction layer 19 is disposed on the side of the second electrode 18 away from the organic functional layer.
[0267] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the organic functional layer sandwiched between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 18 includes, but is not limited to, a hole injection layer 12, a hole transport layer 13, a light-emitting auxiliary layer 14, an organic light-emitting layer 15, an electron transport layer 16 and an electron injection layer 17 sequentially disposed on one side of the first electrode 11.
[0268] In some embodiments, the organic light-emitting element 100 further includes a substrate 1, and a first electrode 11 is disposed on the substrate 1. The substrate 1 may be an array substrate for providing a driving voltage to the first electrode and the second electrode to drive the organic light-emitting layer to emit light, but is not limited thereto.
[0269] In some embodiments, the organic light-emitting element 100 is an OLED device, specifically including a substrate 1, an anode (i.e., a first electrode 11), at least one organic light-emitting layer 15, a cathode (i.e., a second electrode 18), and a light extraction layer 19.
[0270] The substrate 1 can be opaque or transparent. A transparent substrate 1 can be used to fabricate a transparent organic light-emitting element. See, for example, Bulovic et al., Nature 1996, 380, p29, and Gu et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 1996, 68, p2606. The substrate 1 can be rigid or flexible. The substrate 1 can be plastic, metal, semiconductor wafer, or glass. Preferably, the substrate 1 has a smooth surface. A substrate without surface defects is particularly desirable. In a preferred example, the substrate 1 is flexible and can be a polymer film or plastic with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 150°C or higher, preferably 200°C or higher, more preferably 250°C or higher, and most preferably 300°C or higher. Examples of suitable flexible substrates include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene glycol (2,6-naphthalene) (PEN).
[0271] The anode may comprise a conductive metal, metal oxide, or conductive polymer. Holes can be readily injected into the HIL, HTL, or EML. In one example, the absolute value of the difference between the work function of the anode and the HOMO level or valence band level of the light emitter in the organic light-emitting layer or the p-type semiconductor material of the HIL, HTL, or EBL is less than 0.5 eV, preferably less than 0.3 eV, and most preferably less than 0.2 eV. Examples of anode materials include, but are not limited to, Al, Cu, Au, Ag, Mg, Fe, Co, Ni, Mn, Pd, Pt, ITO, aluminum-doped zinc oxide, etc. Other suitable anode materials are known and can be readily selected by those skilled in the art. The anode material can be deposited using any suitable technique, such as a suitable physical vapor deposition method, including radio frequency magnetron sputtering, vacuum thermal evaporation, electron beam deposition, etc. In some embodiments, the anode is patterned. Patterned ITO conductive substrates are commercially available and can be used to fabricate the organic light-emitting element.
[0272] The cathode comprises a conductive metal or metal oxide. Electrons can be readily injected into the EIL or ETL or directly into the organic light-emitting layer. In one embodiment, the absolute value of the difference between the work function of the cathode and the LUMO level or conduction band level of the light-emitting element or the n-type semiconductor material serving as the EIL, ETL, or HBL is less than 0.5 eV, preferably less than 0.3 eV, and most preferably less than 0.2 eV. In principle, all materials suitable for use as cathodes in OLEDs can be used as cathode materials for the devices of this application. Examples of cathode materials include, but are not limited to: Al, Au, Ag, Ca, Ba, Mg, LiF / Al, MgAg alloy, BaF2 / Al, Cu, Fe, Co, Ni, Mn, Pd, Pt, ITO, etc. The cathode material can be deposited using any suitable technique, such as a suitable physical vapor deposition method, including radio frequency magnetron sputtering, vacuum thermal evaporation, electron beam deposition, etc.
[0273] The light extraction layer 19 has a suitable energy level structure, exhibiting strong absorption in the region with wavelengths less than 400 nm (ultraviolet band) and weak or near-zero absorption in the visible light band with wavelengths greater than 400 nm. This can prevent damage to the internal materials of the device from high-energy light irradiation during subsequent processes. Simultaneously, the light extraction layer 19 has a high refractive index, enabling beneficial extraction of visible light emission, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of the organic light-emitting element 100.
[0274] When the reflectivity of the interface between the light extraction layer 19 and the adjacent electrode (e.g., the second electrode 18) is high, the effect of light interference is significant. Therefore, the refractive index of the material constituting the light extraction layer is preferably greater than that of the adjacent electrode. The refractive index of the light extraction layer material for light with a wavelength of 630 nm is generally greater than or equal to 1.50. In a preferred embodiment, the refractive index of the light extraction layer material for light with a wavelength of 630 nm is greater than or equal to 1.70. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the refractive index of the light extraction layer material for light with a wavelength of 630 nm is greater than or equal to 1.80.
[0275] In some embodiments, the thickness of the second sub-light extraction layer 192 ranges from 10 nm to 200 nm. In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the second sub-light extraction layer 192 ranges from 20 nm to 150 nm. In a more preferred embodiment, the thickness of the second sub-light extraction layer 192 ranges from 30 nm to 100 nm. In a most preferred embodiment, the thickness of the second sub-light extraction layer 192 ranges from 40 nm to 90 nm. Conversely, in some embodiments, the thickness of the light extraction layer 19 is 4 to 8 times the thickness of the cathode.
[0276] In some embodiments, the emission wavelength of the organic light-emitting element 100 is between 300 nm and 1000 nm, preferably between 350 nm and 900 nm, and more preferably between 400 nm and 800 nm.
[0277] The organic light-emitting element provided in this application embodiment can be applied in electronic devices, including but not limited to display devices, lighting devices, light sources, sensors, etc.
[0278] This application embodiment also provides a display panel, which includes the organic light-emitting elements described above.

Unless otherwise specified, all raw materials used in the following embodiments are commercially available products.
[0281] (I) Examples of Organic Compound Synthesis Example 1 The synthetic route for compound P-1 is as follows: .
[0282] Weigh reactant A (0.1 mol) and reactant B (0.1 mol) into a clean three-necked flask, and add Pd132 (1.0 mmol), X-Phos (2.0 mmol), and sodium tert-butoxide (0.2 mol) dissolved in toluene. Replace the nitrogen atmosphere three times, heat the reaction solution to 100°C under nitrogen atmosphere, and reflux for 12 h. After the reaction solution cools naturally, wash with water and separate the liquid. Dry the organic phase obtained by separation, evaporate to dryness, and then perform column chromatography to obtain compound P-1 with a yield of 89%.
[0283] Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) results of compound P-1: m / z [H + [=662, the mass spectrum of the product obtained according to the above synthetic route and preparation process is as follows] Figure 2 As shown, the theoretical elemental analysis of the product by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) testing is C, 79.85; H, 4.11; N, 6.35; S, 9.69, while the measured values are C, 79.8; H, 4.1; N, 6.4; S, 9.7, thus proving that the obtained product is compound P-1.
[0284] Examples 2 to 34 Following the preparation method of compound P-1 in Example 1, compounds P-1 to P-34 in Table 1 were prepared using the reactants shown in Table 1. In Table 1, the "serial number" indicates the number of the synthesis example.
[0285] Table 1. Information on reactants and products in Examples 1-34
[0286] Among them, the electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) results for compound P-26 are: m / z [H + [=706, the mass spectrum of the product obtained according to the above synthetic route and preparation process is as follows] Figure 3As shown, the theoretical values of the product obtained by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) elemental analysis are C, 85.09; H, 4.43; N, 5.95; O, 4.53, while the measured values are C, 85.1; H, 4.4; N, 6.0; O, 4.5. This proves that the obtained product is compound P-26.
[0287] Comparative Examples 1-4 This application also provides Comparative Examples 1 to 4, and the comparative compounds provided in Comparative Examples 1 to 4 are respectively designated as "REF01" to "REF04", and their chemical structural formulas are shown below: .
[0288] Following the preparation method of compound P-1 in Example 1, the comparative compounds REF01 to REF04 in Table 2 were prepared using the reactant raw materials shown in Table 2. In Table 2, "Serial Number" indicates the number of the comparative example.
[0289] Table 2. Information on reactants and products in Comparative Examples 1-4
[0290] (ii) Refractive index testing of compounds The compounds provided in Examples 1-34 and the comparative compounds provided in Comparative Examples 1-4 of this application were independently deposited onto single-crystal silicon using vacuum evaporation to form 80 nm thick films. The single-crystal silicon was then placed on an ellipsometer sample stage with an incident angle of 70°. The refractive indices of the films at wavelengths of 460 nm, 530 nm, and 620 nm were measured using an ellipsometer and denoted as n@460 nm, n@530 nm, and n@620 nm, respectively. Simultaneously, the differences Δn1 between the refractive indices at 460 nm and 530 nm, Δn2 between the refractive indices at 530 nm and 620 nm, and Δn3 between the refractive indices at 460 nm and 620 nm were calculated. The test and calculation results are shown in Table 3.
[0291] Understandably, the refractive index of a thin film deposited on monocrystalline silicon is equivalent to the refractive index of the corresponding compound.
[0292] Table 3 Refractive indices of the compounds provided in the examples and comparative examples
[0293] As shown in Table 3, the refractive index of compounds P-1 to P-34 provided in the embodiments of this application is not less than 2.0 at a wavelength of 620 nm, indicating that these compounds have high refractive indices. Meanwhile, the difference between the refractive indices of compounds P-1 to P-34 at a wavelength of 460 nm and at 530 nm ranges from 0.08 to 0.16, and the difference between the refractive indices at 460 nm and at 620 nm ranges from 0.14 to 0.28. This indicates that when compounds P-1 to P-34 are used as light extraction layer materials on the cathode of OLED devices, it is equivalent to introducing a high-refractive-index buffer layer between the cathode and air, increasing the critical angle of total internal reflection, making the escape probabilities of red, green, and blue light nearly equal, and reducing viewing angle-dependent spectral distortion. Therefore, when compounds P-1 to P-34 provided in the embodiments of this application are used as light extraction layer materials, they can maintain sufficiently high light extraction efficiency and effectively improve color shift when achieving multi-angle displays.
[0294] The molecular structures of compound REF01 and compound P-26 are very similar, differing only in the presence of pure carbon-hydrogen fused rings at different fusion sites. Their refractive index curves are shown below. Figure 4 As shown. By Figure 4 It is known that the refractive index of the comparative compound REF01 in the visible light band is generally lower than that of compound P-26 in the visible light band. This is because the delocalized π electrons of the benzene-anthracene group carried by the organic compound of general formula (1) provided in this application have high polarizability and high planarity. The enhanced electron delocalization can improve the polarizability, thereby increasing the refractive index of the organic compound. In addition, compared with the comparative compounds REF02 to REF04, the organic compound of general formula (1) provided in this application has a wider conjugation extension and the electron cloud is more easily distorted, thus resulting in a higher refractive index.
[0295] To facilitate understanding of this application, examples of applications of the organic compounds provided in this application are given below. Those skilled in the art should understand that these examples are merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application.
[0296] (III) Fabrication and Characterization of OLED Devices by Figure 1 Taking the fabrication of the organic light-emitting element (OLED device) shown below as an example, the fabrication method of OLED device using the organic compound of this application will be described in detail below through specific device embodiments.
[0297] In the following method for fabricating OLED devices, ITO conductive glass is used as the anode substrate, HATCN as the hole injection material, HT as the hole transport material, Prime as the light-emitting auxiliary material, BH as the host material of the light-emitting layer, BD as the dopant material of the light-emitting layer, ET and lithium 8-hydroxyquinoline (Liq) as electron transport materials, Liq as the electron injection material, and Ag:Mg as the cathode material. Furthermore, CPL01 is used as the first light extraction layer material, and the series of organic compounds from the aforementioned synthesis examples 1-34 are used as the second light extraction layer materials to fabricate corresponding OLED devices. The chemical structural formulas of HATCN, BH, BD, HT, Prime, ET, and Liq are shown below:
[0298] .
[0299] The following specific examples illustrate the fabrication process of OLED devices using the above-mentioned materials.
[0300] Taking the fabrication method of OLED device using compound P-1 as the second photon extraction layer material as an example, the fabricated OLED device is denoted as "OLED-1 device". The fabrication method of OLED-1 device includes the following steps a to j.
[0301] Step a: Cleaning of the ITO conductive glass substrate (first electrode 11). An ITO conductive glass substrate is provided and ultrasonically cleaned using one or more cleaning agents such as deionized water, acetone, isopropanol, or chloroform to improve the work function of the anode.
[0302] Step b: Form a hole injection layer 12 on the first electrode 11. Hole injection material HATCN is deposited on the first electrode 11 at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s to obtain a hole injection layer 12 with a thickness of 30 nm.
[0303] Step c: Form a hole transport layer 13 on the hole injection layer 12. Hole transport material HT is deposited on the hole injection layer 12 at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s to obtain a hole transport layer 13 with a thickness of 60 nm.
[0304] Step d: Form a light-emitting auxiliary layer 14 on the hole transport layer 13. The light-emitting auxiliary material Prime is deposited on the hole transport layer 13 at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s to obtain a light-emitting auxiliary layer 14 with a thickness of 10 nm.
[0305] Step e: Form an organic light-emitting layer 15 on the light-emitting auxiliary layer 14. Using BH as the host material and BD as the dopant material, with a mass ratio of BH to BD of 98:2, BH and BD are deposited on the light-emitting auxiliary layer 14 at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s to obtain an organic light-emitting layer 15 with a thickness of 25 nm.
[0306] Step f: Form an electron transport layer 16 on the organic light-emitting layer 15. In a vacuum chamber, electron transport materials ET and Liq are placed in different evaporation crucibles and subjected to high vacuum (1×10⁻⁶) conditions. -6 Under millibars, ET and Liq are co-deposited at a weight ratio of 5:5 to form an electron transport layer 16 with a thickness of 30 nm on the organic light-emitting layer 15.
[0307] Step g: Form an electron injection layer 17 on the electron transport layer 16. Electron injection material Liq is deposited on the electron transport layer 16 at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s to obtain an electron injection layer 17 with a thickness of 1 nm.
[0308] Step h: Form a second electrode 18 on the electron injection layer 17. Co-deposit cathode material Ag:Mg on the electron injection layer 17 at a evaporation rate of 1 Å / s with a weight ratio of 10:1 to obtain a second electrode 18 with a thickness of 12 nm.
[0309] Step i: Form a light extraction layer 19 on the second electrode 18. The light extraction layer material CPL01 and compound P-1 are sequentially deposited on the second electrode 18 at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s to obtain a first sub-light extraction layer 191 and a second sub-light extraction layer 192 with thicknesses of 20 nm and 60 nm, respectively, which together constitute the light extraction layer 19.
[0310] Step j: The device obtained by layer-by-layer deposition is placed in a nitrogen atmosphere glove box and encapsulated with ultraviolet curing resin to finally obtain the OLED-1 device.
[0311] The structure of the OLED-1 device prepared in this embodiment is: ITO / HATCN (30nm) / HT (60 nm) / Prime (10nm) / BH:BD (2%, 25 nm) / ET:Liq (5:5, 30 nm) / Liq (1nm) / Ag:Mg (10:1, 12nm) / CPL01 (20nm) / compound P-1 (60nm).
[0312] Referring to the fabrication method of OLED-1, compounds P-2 to P-34 synthesized in the examples were selected as materials for the second light extraction layer 192 of the OLED device, and OLED-2 to OLED-34 devices were fabricated accordingly. It can be understood that in the above fabrication methods of OLED-1 to OLED-34 devices, except for the different materials of the second light extraction layer, all other experimental conditions are the same.
[0313] Furthermore, referring to the fabrication method of OLED-1, comparative compounds REF01 to REF04 and CPL01 were used as the first or second sub-light extraction layer materials, respectively, to fabricate OLED-REF01 to OLED-REF06 devices. Compared to the fabrication method of OLED-1, the fabrication methods of OLED-REF01 to OLED-REF06 devices are identical except for the type and combination of light extraction layer materials.
[0314] In this application, the current-voltage (JV) characteristics of OLED-1 to OLED-34 and OLED-REF01 to OLED-REF06 devices were characterized, and the luminous efficiency of the devices was recorded. The results are shown in Table 4. The luminous efficiency is defined as a current density of 10 mA / cm². 2 The relative value obtained at that time.
[0315] Table 4
[0316]
[0317] As shown in Table 4, the luminous efficiency of devices OLED-1 to OLED-34, fabricated using the organic compound provided in this application as the second sub-light extraction layer material, is higher than that of devices OLED-REF01 to OLED-REF06. Specifically, compared to devices OLED-REF01 and OLED-REF02 with a single light extraction layer, devices with a double light extraction layer show a significant improvement in luminous efficiency. Furthermore, compared to devices OLED-REF03 to OLED-REF06, devices OLED-1 to OLED-34 have higher luminous efficiency when the first sub-light extraction layer material is CPL01. This is because the organic compound provided in this application, combined with the low-refractive-index light extraction layer material CPL01, achieves an enhanced microcavity effect, further increasing the light extraction efficiency by utilizing the high refractive index advantage. Specifically, in terms of molecular structure, the organic compound provided in this application utilizes a benzene-anthracene group combined with a tertiary amine backbone and heteroatom small fused-ring groups. The resulting conjugated system, with its delocalized π electrons, exhibits high polarizability, and the electron cloud is easily distorted, thus resulting in high refractive index characteristics. Meanwhile, the organic compound provided in this application possesses a certain degree of molecular rigidity and high planarity, which can further amplify the polarization effect while maintaining its own stability. In summary, when the organic compound provided in this application is used as a light extraction layer material, it can effectively utilize its high refractive index advantage to improve the light extraction efficiency of organic light-emitting elements, thereby enhancing device performance, such as improving the luminous efficiency of the device.
