Finally, the purpose of improving the efficiency of the OLED device, reducing the power consumption of the OLED device, and prolonging the service life of the OLED device is achieved.

[0068] Further, as a preferred scheme, two of L1-L3 can be a single bond, and the other one can be an arylene group or a heteroarylene group. Alternatively, one of L1-L3 can be a single bond, and the other two can be an arylene group or a heteroarylene group. Wherein, the "arylene group or heteroarylene group" involved herein is as described above, which is not repeated here.

The corresponding preparation method can also be used to prepare the samples required in subsequent test examples.

[0239] Among them, application examples 1-15, 23, 24 and 25 use each of the above compounds to prepare electron transport layer materials. Application examples 16-22, 26 and 27 use each of the above compounds to prepare hole blocking layers.

[0240] The structure of the above-mentioned organic electroluminescent device is shown below: glass / anode (ITO) / hole injection layer (HIL) / hole transport layer (HTL) / electron blocking layer (EBL) / light-emitting layer (EML, host material BH: red light-emitting material BD) / hole blocking layer (HBL) / electron transport layer (ETL) / electron injection layer (EIL) / cathode. Each layer is arranged in the above order.

[0241] The preparation method of the organic electroluminescent device is as follows:

[0242] The transparent conductive ITO glass substrate (with an anode on the top) (China South Glass Co., Ltd.) was ultrasonically treated in a commercial cleaning agent, rinsed in deionized water, and then sequentially washed with ethanol, acetone and deionized water, baked in a clean environment until all the water was removed, treated with ultraviolet light and ozone, and then treated with oxygen plasma for 30 seconds. The glass substrate with an anode was placed in a vacuum chamber and vacuumized.

[0243] Hole injection layer: HIL (10 nm thick) was evaporated on the ITO surface as a hole injection layer, with an evaporation rate of 0.1 nm / s.

[0244] A hole transport layer was formed by evaporating compound HT on the surface of the hole injection layer to a thickness of 100 nm at an evaporation rate of 0.1 nm / s.

[0245] An electron blocking layer was formed by evaporating EB on the surface of the hole transport layer to a thickness of 10 nm at an evaporation rate of 0.1 nm / s.

[0246] A light-emitting layer was formed by evaporating a light-emitting layer having a thickness of 25 nm on the surface of the electron blocking layer, wherein BH was a host light-emitting material, and BD was a dopant guest material at a weight ratio of 3%, at an evaporation rate of 0.1 nm / s.

[0247] A hole blocking layer was formed by evaporating a hole blocking material on the surface of the light-emitting layer to a thickness of 5 nm at an evaporation rate of 0.1 nm / s. When the compound containing a spiro structure was not applied to the hole blocking layer, the hole blocking material of the hole blocking layer was compound HB. When the compound containing a spiro structure was applied to the hole blocking layer, the hole blocking material of the hole blocking layer was the corresponding compound containing a spiro structure. The compositions of the hole blocking layers of the devices can be found in Table 1 below.

[0248] An electron transport layer was formed by evaporating an electron transport layer having a thickness of 25 nm on the surface of the light-emitting layer at an evaporation rate of 0.1 nm / s. When the compound containing a spiro structure was applied to the electron transport layer, some specific embodiments of the electron transport layer included the compound containing a spiro structure and lithium quinolate (LiQ) at a weight ratio of 5:5, and some other specific embodiments of the electron transport layer included the compound containing a spiro structure and deuterated lithium quinolate (LiQ-D6) at a weight ratio of 5:5. When the compound containing a spiro structure was not applied to the electron transport layer, the electron transport layer included compound ET and lithium quinolate (LiQ) at a weight ratio of 5:5. The compositions of the electron transport layers of the devices can be found in Table 1 below.

[0249] Yb was evaporated to a thickness of 1 nm as an electron injection layer.

[0250] Aluminum (Al) was evaporated to a thickness of 120 nm as a cathode of the device.

[0251] For application examples 1-15, application comparative examples 1-8 are also provided, for application examples 16-22, application comparative examples 9-12 are also provided, and application examples 23-27 use LiQ-D6 as a metal complex applied to the electron transport layer.

[0252] The compositions of the layers of the organic electroluminescent devices involved in the above application examples and application comparative examples are shown in Table 1 below, and some raw material compounds involved in the preparation process of the above organic electroluminescent devices are shown as follows:

[0253]

[0254]

[0255] Table 1

[0256]

[0257]

[0258]

[0259]

[0260] In Table 1, the percentage content ratio of two raw materials in the EML refers to the weight percentage, such as the weight percentage of BH and BD in Application Example 1 is 97%:3% respectively. The percentage content ratio of two raw materials in the ETL also refers to the weight percentage, such as the weight percentage of compound 1 and LiQ in Application Example 1 is 50%:50% respectively.

[0261] The performance of each organic electroluminescent device involved in Table 1 was tested, and in the testing process, the anode and cathode were connected by using a known driving circuit, and the Photo Research PR655 spectrometer was used for testing to measure the operating voltage, current efficiency at 1000 cd / cm2brightness, and the lifetime (T95) at 50 mA / cm2current density under room temperature environment when the brightness decayed to 95% of the original brightness. 2 2 The performance of each organic electroluminescent device involved in Table 1 was tested, and in the testing process, the anode and cathode were connected by using a known driving circuit, and the Photo Research PR655 spectrometer was used for testing to measure the operating voltage, current efficiency at 1000 cd / cm2brightness, and the lifetime (T95) at 50 mA / cm2current density under room temperature environment when the brightness decayed to 95% of the original brightness.

[0262] The relevant test data is shown in Table 2:

[0263] Table 2

[0264]

[0265]

[0266] As can be seen from Table 2, compared with Application Comparative Examples 1-8, the devices involved in Application Examples 1-15 have lower operating voltage, higher current efficiency, and longer service life, by using the compound containing a spiro structure provided in the embodiments of the present application as the electron transport layer. This is because the compound containing a spiro structure provided in the embodiments of the present application has higher electron mobility and stability.

[0267] ​Specifically, the application examples 1 and 7 use compounds ETL-1 and ETL-7, respectively, although both of them have a spiro structure, compared with them, the application examples further introduce an indole group into the spiro structure, which can effectively improve the conductivity of the compound.

[0268] The application examples 2 and 3 use compounds ETL-2 and ETL-3, respectively, although both of them introduce an indole group, however, compound ETL-2 combines the spiro structure with the introduction of the indole group with a benzimidazole group, and compound ETL-3 combines the spiro structure with the introduction of the indole group with a triazine group. The application examples combine the spiro structure with the introduction of the indole group with a benzothiazole group or a benzoxazole group (unsubstituted or deuterated), which contains O and S atoms, and researches have found that such compounds are more conducive to adjusting the energy level and increasing the electron transport capacity.

[0269] The application examples 4-6 use compounds ETL4-ETL6 and TPBi, respectively, although these compounds contain a benzothiazole group or a benzoxazole group, but do not contain a spiro structure. The compound of the application example is based on the presence of the spiro structure, which is conducive to improving the thermal stability of the compound, and thus conducive to prolonging the service life of the device.

[0270] For the application examples 16-22, which use the compound containing the spiro structure provided by the application example as a hole blocking layer, compared with the application examples 9-10, the device involved in the application examples 16-22 has a lower working voltage, a higher current efficiency, and a longer service life. This is because the compound containing the spiro structure provided by the application example can reduce the conjugated system based on the spiro structure, reduce the HOMO energy level, and be more conducive to blocking holes, plus its good electron transport performance, thereby effectively improving the overall performance of the device.

[0271] For the application examples 23-27, compared with using LiQ and the various compounds containing the spiro structure provided by the application example to form an electron transport layer, these examples use LiQ-D6 to replace LiQ. Since D is heavier than hydrogen, it can reduce the chemical vibration energy loss of the C-H bond, and compared with the scheme using LiQ, the cycle life is more obviously improved by more than 50%.

[0272] The above is only to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the technical solutions of the present application, and does not limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
