[0003] This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0165607, filed on December 1, 2020, in the Republic of Korea, the entire contents of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0004] This disclosure relates to organic light-emitting diodes, and more particularly to organic light-emitting diodes having excellent luminous efficiency and luminous lifetime, and organic light-emitting devices including said diodes. Background Technology
[0005] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have become a focal point as a rapidly evolving alternative to liquid crystal displays (LCDs) in widely used flat panel displays. OLEDs can be formed into sizes smaller than... OLEDs are thin organic films that can achieve unidirectional or bidirectional images through electrode configuration. Furthermore, OLEDs can even be formed on flexible transparent substrates such as plastic substrates, making it easy to realize flexible or foldable display devices. In addition, compared to LCDs, OLEDs can be driven at lower voltages and have excellent high color purity.
[0006] Because fluorescent materials utilize only singlet exciton energy during luminescence, existing fluorescent materials exhibit low luminous efficiency. Conversely, phosphorescent materials utilize both triplet and singlet exciton energies during luminescence, thus exhibiting high luminous efficiency. However, for commercial use, metal complexes, representative of phosphorescent materials, have short luminous lifetimes. In particular, blue luminescent materials have not shown satisfactory luminous efficiency and lifetime compared to other colored luminescent materials. Therefore, there remains a need to develop new compounds or device structures that can improve the luminous efficiency and lifetime of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Summary of the Invention

[0028] Figure 6 This is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating an organic light-emitting display device according to yet another exemplary aspect of this disclosure. Detailed Implementation
[0029] Reference will now be made in detail to several aspects of this disclosure, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0030] This disclosure relates to organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic light-emitting devices including said OLEDs. The OLEDs include a plurality of light-emitting portions, wherein an anthracene-based body with different deuterium substitution rates is introduced into the light-emitting material layer constituting each light-emitting portion. The configuration of this disclosure enables the OLEDs and organic light-emitting devices to maximize their luminous efficiency and luminous lifetime. OLEDs can be used in organic light-emitting devices, such as organic light-emitting display devices or organic light-emitting lighting devices.
[0031] Figure 1 This is a schematic circuit diagram illustrating the organic light-emitting display device of this disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, in an organic light-emitting display device, gate line GL, data line DL, and power line PL intersect each other to define a pixel region P. A switching thin-film transistor Ts, a driving thin-film transistor Td, a storage capacitor Cst, and an organic light-emitting diode D are formed within the pixel region P. The pixel region P may include a red (R) pixel region, a green (G) pixel region, and a blue (B) pixel region.
[0032] A switching thin-film transistor (TFT) Ts is connected to the gate line GL and the data line DL. A driving thin-film transistor (TFT) Td and a storage capacitor Cst are connected between the switching TFT Ts and the power line PL. An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) D is connected to the driving TFT Td. When the switching TFT Ts is turned on by a gate signal applied to the gate line GL, the data signal applied to the data line DL is applied to the gate electrode of the driving TFT Td and one electrode of the storage capacitor Cst through the switching TFT Ts.
[0033] A data signal applied to the gate electrode turns on the driving thin-film transistor Td, causing a current proportional to the data signal to flow through the driving thin-film transistor Td from the power line PL to the organic light-emitting diode D. The organic light-emitting diode D then emits light with a brightness proportional to the current flowing through the driving thin-film transistor Td. In this case, the storage capacitor Cst is charged with a voltage proportional to the data signal, so that the voltage at the gate electrode in the driving thin-film transistor Td remains constant during one frame. Therefore, the organic light-emitting display device can display the desired image.
[0034] Figure 2 This is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating an organic light-emitting display device according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure. Figure 2As shown, the organic light-emitting display device 100 includes a substrate 102, a thin-film transistor Tr above the substrate 102, and an organic light-emitting diode D connected to the thin-film transistor Tr. As an example, the substrate 102 defines a red pixel region, a green pixel region, and a blue pixel region, and the organic light-emitting diode D is positioned in each pixel region. In other words, the organic light-emitting diode D, which emits red light, green light, or blue light respectively, is correspondingly positioned in the red pixel region, green pixel region, and blue pixel region.
[0035] The substrate 102 may include, but is not limited to, glass, thin flexible materials, and / or polymeric plastics. For example, the flexible material may be selected from, but is not limited to, the group consisting of, polyimide (PI), polyethersulfone (PES), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), and combinations thereof. A thin-film transistor Tr and an organic light-emitting diode D are disposed on the substrate 102 to form an array substrate.
[0036] A buffer layer 106 may be disposed above the substrate 102, and a thin-film transistor Tr may be disposed above the buffer layer 106. The buffer layer 106 may be omitted.
[0037] A semiconductor layer 110 is disposed above the buffer layer 106. In one exemplary aspect, the semiconductor layer 110 may comprise, but is not limited to, an oxide semiconductor material. In this case, a light-shielding pattern may be disposed below the semiconductor layer 110, and the light-shielding pattern may prevent light from incident toward the semiconductor layer 110, thereby preventing the semiconductor layer 110 from deteriorating due to light. Alternatively, the semiconductor layer 110 may comprise polycrystalline silicon. In this case, the opposite edges of the semiconductor layer 110 may be doped with impurities.
[0038] A gate insulating layer 120 comprising an insulating material is disposed on the semiconductor layer 110. The gate insulating layer 120 may comprise, but is not limited to, an inorganic insulating material, such as silicon oxide (SiO2). x ) or silicon nitride (SiN) x ).
[0039] A gate electrode 130 made of a conductive material, such as a metal, is disposed above the gate insulating layer 120 to correspond to the center of the semiconductor layer 110. Although in Figure 2 The gate insulating layer 120 is disposed over the entire area of the substrate 102, but the gate insulating layer 120 can be patterned in the same way as the gate electrode 130.
[0040] An interlayer insulating layer 140 comprising an insulating material is disposed on the gate electrode 130, covering the entire surface of the substrate 102. The interlayer insulating layer 140 may comprise an inorganic insulating material, such as silicon oxide (SiO2). x) or silicon nitride (SiN) x Alternatively, organic insulating materials, such as benzocyclobutene or photo-acryl.
[0041] The interlayer insulating layer 140 has a first semiconductor layer contact hole 142 and a second semiconductor layer contact hole 144 that expose both sides of the semiconductor layer 110. The first semiconductor layer contact hole 142 and the second semiconductor layer contact hole 144 are disposed above the opposite side of the gate electrode 130 and spaced apart from the gate electrode 130. Figure 2 In this configuration, the first semiconductor layer contact hole 142 and the second semiconductor layer contact hole 144 are formed within the gate insulating layer 120. Alternatively, when the gate insulating layer 120 is patterned in the same way as the gate electrode 130, the first semiconductor layer contact hole 142 and the second semiconductor layer contact hole 144 are formed only within the interlayer insulating layer 140.
[0042] A source electrode 152 and a drain electrode 154 made of a conductive material, such as metal, are disposed on the interlayer insulating layer 140. The source electrode 152 and the drain electrode 154 are spaced apart from each other relative to the gate electrode 130, and contact both sides of the semiconductor layer 110 through the first semiconductor layer contact hole 142 and the second semiconductor layer contact hole 144, respectively.
[0043] Semiconductor layer 110, gate electrode 130, source electrode 152, and drain electrode 154 constitute a thin-film transistor Tr that acts as a driving element. That is, the thin-film transistor Tr can correspond to ( Figure 1 (The driving thin-film transistor Td) Figure 2 The thin-film transistor Tr has a coplanar structure in which the gate electrode 130, source electrode 152, and drain electrode 154 are disposed above the semiconductor layer 110. Alternatively, the thin-film transistor Tr may have an anti-interleaved structure in which the gate electrode is disposed below the semiconductor layer and the source and drain electrodes are disposed above the semiconductor layer. In this case, the semiconductor layer may comprise amorphous silicon.
[0044] Although not in Figure 2 As shown, gate lines and data lines that intersect each other to define the pixel region, as well as switching elements connected to the gate lines and data lines, can also be formed in the pixel region. The switching elements are connected to a thin-film transistor Tr, which serves as a driving element. Furthermore, power lines are spaced parallel to the gate lines or data lines, and the thin-film transistor Tr may also include a storage capacitor configured to maintain a constant voltage at the gate electrode for one frame.
[0045] A passivation layer 160 is disposed over the entire substrate 102 on the source electrode 152 and the drain electrode 154, covering the thin-film transistor Tr. The passivation layer 160 has a flat top surface and a drain contact hole 162 that exposes the drain electrode 154 of the thin-film transistor Tr. Although the drain contact hole 162 is disposed on the second semiconductor layer contact hole 144, it can be spaced apart from the second semiconductor layer contact hole 144.
[0046] The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) D includes a first electrode 210 disposed on a passivation layer 160 and connected to a drain electrode 154 of a thin-film transistor Tr. The OLED D also includes a light-emitting layer 230 and a second electrode 220 respectively sequentially disposed on the first electrode 210.
[0047] The first electrode 210 is disposed in each pixel region. The first electrode 210 can be an anode and contains a conductive material with a relatively high work function value. For example, the first electrode 210 can contain, but is not limited to, transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO), SnO, ZnO, indium cerium oxide (ICO), aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO), etc.
[0048] In one exemplary aspect, when the organic light-emitting display device 100 is a bottom-emitting type, the first electrode 210 may have a single-layer structure of TCO. Alternatively, when the organic light-emitting display device 100 is a top-emitting type, a reflective electrode or reflective layer may be disposed below the first electrode 210. For example, the reflective electrode or reflective layer may contain, but is not limited to, Ag or an aluminum-palladium-copper (APC) alloy. In a top-emitting OLED, the first electrode 210 may have a three-layer structure of ITO / Ag / ITO or ITO / APC / ITO.
[0049] Furthermore, a dam layer 164 is provided on the passivation layer 160 to cover the edge of the first electrode 210. The dam layer 164 exposes the center of the first electrode 210. The dam layer 164 can be omitted.
[0050] A light-emitting layer 230 is disposed on the first electrode 210. In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the light-emitting layer 230 may include a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron blocking layer (EBL), a light-emitting material layer (EML), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), an electron injection layer (EIL), and / or a charge generation layer (CGL). The light-emitting layer 230 may have multiple light-emitting parts to form a series structure.
[0051] The light-emitting layer 230 may include at least one light-emitting material layer comprising an anthracene-based substrate and a boron-based dopant. Such a light-emitting layer 230 enables the OLED and organic light-emitting display device 100 to improve their luminous efficiency and luminous lifetime. OLEDs will be described in more detail below.
[0052] A second electrode 220 is disposed above the substrate 102 on which the light-emitting layer 230 is disposed. The second electrode 220 may be disposed above the entire display area and may contain a conductive material having a relatively low work function value compared to the first electrode 210, and may be a cathode. For example, the second electrode 220 may contain, but is not limited to, aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), silver (Ag), alloys thereof such as aluminum-magnesium alloy (Al-Mg), or combinations thereof such as Ag:Mg. For example, when the second electrode 220 contains Ag:Mg, Ag and Mg may be mixed in a weight ratio of about 5:1 to about 10:1 (e.g., about 8:1 to 10:1). When the organic light-emitting display device 100 is a top-emitting type, the second electrode 220 is thin to have light transmission (or semi-transmission) characteristics.
[0053] Furthermore, an encapsulation film 170 can be disposed above the second electrode 220 to prevent external moisture from penetrating into the organic light-emitting diode D. The encapsulation film 170 may have a laminated structure of, but is not limited to, a first inorganic insulating film 172, an organic insulating film 174, and a second inorganic insulating film 176. The encapsulation film 170 may be omitted.
[0054] The organic light-emitting display device 100 may also include a polarizing plate to reduce the reflection of external light. For example, the polarizing plate may be a circular polarizing plate. When the organic light-emitting display device 100 is a bottom-emitting type, the polarizing plate may be disposed below the substrate 102. Alternatively, when the organic light-emitting display device 100 is a top-emitting type, the polarizing plate may be attached to the encapsulation film. Furthermore, a cover window may be attached to the encapsulation film 170 or the polarizing plate in the top-emitting organic light-emitting display device 100. In this case, the substrate 102 and the cover window have flexible properties, enabling the construction of a flexible display device.
[0055] As described above, introducing individual entities with different deuterium substitution rates into the luminescent material layers constituting each luminescent part enables OLEDs to maximize their luminous efficiency and luminous lifetime. Figure 3 This is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an organic light-emitting diode having two light-emitting portions according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0056] like Figure 3As shown, according to a first aspect of this disclosure, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) D1 includes a first electrode 210 and a second electrode 220 facing each other, and a light-emitting layer 230 disposed between the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220. Organic light-emitting display device 100 ( Figure 2 It includes red pixel areas, green pixel areas and blue pixel areas, and OLED D1 can be set in the blue pixel area.
[0057] One of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 is an anode, and the other is a cathode. For example, the first electrode 210 can be an anode for injecting holes, and the second electrode 220 can be a cathode for injecting electrons. Furthermore, one of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 is a reflecting electrode, and the other is a transmitting (semi-transmitting) electrode. For example, the thickness of each of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 can be, but is not limited to, approximately [thickness value missing]. to approximately For example, about to approximately
[0058] The light-emitting layer 230 includes a first light-emitting portion 300 and a second light-emitting portion 400. Furthermore, the light-emitting layer 230 may also include a charge generation layer (CGL) 370 disposed between the first light-emitting portion 300 and the second light-emitting portion 400. Therefore, the first light-emitting portion 300, the CGL 370, and the second light-emitting portion 400 are sequentially disposed on the first electrode 210. In other words, the first light-emitting portion 300 is disposed between the first electrode 210 and the CGL 370, and the second light-emitting portion 400 is disposed between the second electrode 220 and the CGL 370.
[0059] The first light-emitting portion 300 includes a first light-emitting material layer (lower light-emitting material layer, EML1) 340. The first light-emitting portion 300 may further include at least one of the following: a HIL 310 disposed between the first electrode 210 and EML1 340; a first hole transport layer (lower hole transport layer, HTL1) 320 disposed between HIL310 and EML1 340; and a first electron transport layer (lower electron transport layer, ETL1) 350 disposed between EML1 340 and CGL 370. Alternatively, the first light-emitting portion 300 may further include a first electron blocking layer (lower electron blocking layer, EBL1, not shown) disposed between HTL1 320 and EML1 340.
[0060] The second light-emitting portion 400 includes a second light-emitting material layer (upper light-emitting material layer, EML2) 440. The second light-emitting portion 400 may further include at least one of the following: a second hole transport layer (upper hole transport layer, HTL2) 420 disposed between CGL 370 and EML2 440; a second electron transport layer (upper electron transport layer, ETL2) 450 disposed between the second electrode 220 and EML2 440; and an EIL 460 disposed between the second electrode 220 and ETL2 450. Alternatively, the second light-emitting portion 400 may further include a second electron blocking layer (upper electron blocking layer, EBL2, not shown) disposed between HTL2 420 and EML2 440.
[0061] EML1 340 may include a first body 342 and a first dopant 344, and EML2 440 may include a second body 442 and a second dopant 444. In this case, the first body 342 and the second body 442 respectively form a dielectric or substrate in EML1 340 and EML2 440. In the accompanying drawings, for ease of description, some of the first body 342 and the second body 442 are shown in the form of particles.
[0062] EML1 340 comprises a first host 342 of an anthracene-based organic compound and a first dopant 344 of a boron-based organic compound to emit blue light. EML2 440 comprises a second host 442 of anthracene-based organic compound and a second dopant 444 of a boron-based organic compound to emit blue light. The first host 342 differs from the second host 442 in the rate of deuterium substitution introduced into the molecule.
[0063] For example, the first body 342 can be an anthracene-based organic compound in which all hydrogen (protium) atoms bonded to the carbon atoms of the molecule (e.g., the nuclear carbon atom of an aromatic ring in the molecule) are replaced by deuterium atoms. The first body 342 can have the structure of Formula 1. Conversely, the second body 442 can be an anthracene-based organic compound in which the hydrogen (protium) atoms bonded to the carbon atoms of the molecule (e.g., the nuclear carbon atom of an aromatic ring in the molecule) are not replaced by deuterium atoms, or some of the protium atoms are replaced by deuterium atoms. The second body 442 can have the structure of Formula 3.
[0064] [Formula 1]
[0065]
[0066] [Formula 3]
[0067]
[0068] Ar1 and Ar2 are each independently C6 to C6. 20Aryl; D represents deuterium; a1 and a2 are each independent integers from 0 to 8; b1, b2, c1 and c2 are each independent numbers of deuterium substituted on carbon atoms in Ar1 and Ar2 that are not attached to anthracene rings; the sum of a1, b1 and c1 is different from the sum of a2, b2 and c2.
[0069] For example, a1 in Formula 1 may be different from a2 in Formula 3, b1 in Formula 1 may be different from b2 in Formula 3, and / or c1 in Formula 1 may be different from c2 in Formula 3. As an example, b1, c1, b2, and c2 in Formulas 1 and 3 may each be an integer from 0 to 19 independently. The first body 342 and the second body 442 are both anthracene-based derivatives having substantially the same chemical structure except for the deuteration rate (deuterium substitution rate). In other words, the first body 342 has a first deuteration rate, and the second body 442 has a second deuteration rate different from the first deuteration rate.
[0070] In one exemplary aspect, Ar1 and Ar2 in Formulas 1 and 3 can each be independently selected from phenyl, naphthyl, and anthraceneyl. As an example, Ar1 and Ar2 in Formulas 1 and 3 can each be independently 1-naphthyl or 2-naphthyl. For instance, one of Ar1 and Ar2 in Formulas 1 and 3 can be 1-naphthyl, and the other of Ar1 and Ar2 in Formulas 1 and 3 can be 2-naphthyl. In this case, b1, b2, c1, and c2 in Formulas 1 and 3 can each be independently an integer from 0 to 7.
[0071] As an example, the first body 342 having the structure of Formula 1 may comprise an anthracene-based organic compound in which at least one of the nuclear carbon atoms in the anthracene nucleus is deuterated, and the nuclear carbon atoms in both Ar1 and Ar2 are undeuterated (i.e., a1 is an integer from 1 to 8, and b1 and c1 are each 0). For example, the deuteration rate of the first body 342 may be from about 27% to about 37%. Alternatively, the deuteration rate of the first body 342 of the anthracene-based compound having the structure of Formula 1 may be equal to or greater than about 90%, for example, 100%. In one exemplary aspect, the first body 342 may be selected from, but is not limited to, the following anthracene-based organic compounds having the structure of Formula 2:
[0072] [Equation 2]
[0073]
[0074] In one exemplary aspect, the second body 442 having the structure of Formula 3 may comprise an anthracene-based organic compound in which all carbon atoms in the aromatic ring are undeuterated (0% deuteration). Alternatively, the second body 442 having the structure of Formula 3 may comprise an anthracene-based organic compound in which at least one of the nuclear carbon atoms in the anthracene nucleus is deuterated, and both Ar1 and Ar2 are undeuterated (i.e., a2 is an integer from 1 to 8, and b2 and c2 are each 0). For example, the deuteration of the second body 442 may be from about 27% to about 37%. In another exemplary aspect, the second body 442 having the structure of Formula 3 may comprise an anthracene-based organic compound wherein at least one of the nuclear carbon atoms in the anthracene nucleus is deuterated, and at least one of the nuclear carbon atoms in one of Ar1 and Ar2 is deuterated, while the nuclear carbon atom in the other of Ar1 and Ar2 is not deuterated (i.e., a2 is an integer from 1 to 8, one of b2 and c2 is 0, and the other of b2 and c2 is not 0). For example, the deuteration rate of the second body 442 may be from about 59% to about 68%. In yet another exemplary aspect, the deuteration rate of the second body 442 of the anthracene-based organic compound having the structure of Formula 3 may be equal to or greater than about 90%, for example, 100%. For example, the second body 442 may be selected from, but is not limited to, the following anthracene-based organic compounds having the structure of Formula 4:
[0075] [Formula 4]
