Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of organic optoelectronic materials, and particularly relates to a host compound, an organic electroluminescent material containing a double host, and an organic electroluminescent device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Since the discovery of organic electroluminescence (OLED) technology, it has developed rapidly in the past few decades due to its unique advantages in the fields of display and lighting, such as high contrast resulting from self-luminescence, wide viewing angle, and lightness, flexibility, and bending characteristics.
[0003] An organic electroluminescent device is usually composed of a multi-layer structure, which generally includes a substrate, an anode, a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an emission layer (EML), an electron transport layer (ETL), an electron injection layer (EIL), and a cathode. When a voltage is applied to the anode and the cathode, an electric field is generated between the two electrodes. Under the action of the electric field, electrons from the cathode move to the electroluminescent layer, and holes from the anode also move to the electroluminescent layer. Electrons and holes combine in the electroluminescent layer to form excitons. The excitons in the excited state release energy to the outside, and then the electroluminescent layer emits light. Among them, the host material in the emission layer has a great influence on the performance of the device. The traditional single host material needs to complete the functions of electron transport and hole transport at the same time. The single host material is difficult to meet the high performance requirements in terms of efficiency and service life, and the double host material is thus born.
[0004] However, the energy matching and charge transfer process between different hosts and guests of the double host luminescent material are not perfect. In some cases, there may be incomplete energy transfer or accumulation of charges in the host material, which prevents some excitons from being effectively converted into photons, reducing the overall luminescent efficiency and limiting the further improvement of the luminescent efficiency and service life of the double host material.
[0005] The organic electroluminescent double host material still faces many challenges in current research and application, and more double host materials are urgently needed to solve the problems existing in the prior art and promote the further development of OLED technology in the fields of display and lighting.

In the present application, the double host material has a first host compound with a specific structure and a second host compound with a specific structure, the first host compound has a faster electron mobility, and the second host compound with the specific structure has a faster hole mobility. The first host compound and the second host compound with the specific structure are used in the present application to balance the hole and electron mobilities, so that the double host material can increase excitons in the light-emitting layer, thereby improving the luminous efficiency and service life of the device and reducing the driving voltage.

Then it was washed twice with distilled water and ultrasonically washed for 10 min. After washing, it was ultrasonically washed sequentially with methanol, acetone and isopropanol (5 min each time), dried, and then transferred to a plasma cleaner for 5 min to obtain the ITO anode.
[0121] (2) In the vapor deposition machine, HIL is vacuum vapor deposited on the ITO anode surface obtained in step (1) with a thickness of 200 Å to obtain a hole injection layer.
[0122] (3) A hole transport layer is obtained by vacuum evaporation of HTL on the surface of the hole injection layer obtained in step (2) with a thickness of 400 Å.
[0123] (4) Evaporate the light-emitting layer material on the surface of the hole transport layer and perform linear gradient co-evaporation using a multi-source co-evaporation method to obtain a light-emitting layer with a thickness of 300 Å. The material of the light-emitting layer includes a dual host material and a dopant material. The mass ratio of the first host compound and the second host compound is 60:40, and the mass ratio of the dual host material and the dopant material is 10:1. The dual host materials are the host materials provided in Examples 1-30 and Comparative Examples 1-41, respectively.
[0124] (5) A hole blocking layer is formed by vapor deposition of BAlq on the surface of the light-emitting layer obtained in step (4) with a thickness of 100 Å.
[0125] (6) Vacuum vapor deposition of ETL on the surface of the hole blocking layer obtained in step (5) with a thickness of 400 Å is obtained to obtain the electron transport layer.
[0126] (7) A Liq layer with a thickness of 15 Å is vacuum-deposited on the surface of the electron transport layer obtained in step (6); an electron injection layer is obtained.
[0127] (8) A 1500 angstrom layer of Al is deposited on the surface of the electron injection layer obtained in step (7) to form a cathode, thereby obtaining the organic electroluminescent device.
[0128] The structure of the materials used is as follows:
[0129] .
[0130] The driving voltage, luminous efficiency, and time (lifetime; T95) of the organic electroluminescent device at a brightness of 5000 nits were tested. The test results are shown in Table 1. In Table 1, "-" indicates that the compound is not present in the host material.
[0131] Table 1
[0132]
[0133] As shown in Table 1, the dual-host material provided by the present invention, which employs a first host compound and a second host compound with specific structures, can reduce the driving voltage of the device, improve the luminous efficiency of the device, and extend the service life of the device.
[0134] As can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1-30 and Comparative Examples 1-41, the main material of the light-emitting layer is a combination of the first main compound and the second main compound, which can greatly improve the luminous efficiency and lifespan. If only one of them is selected, the luminous efficiency of the device will be greatly reduced, the lifespan will be significantly shortened, and the voltage will increase.
[0135] As can be seen from Examples 1-40 and Comparative Examples 7-18, the luminous efficiency of Comparative Examples 7-18 is 29.5-30.7 cd / A, the driving voltage is 3.52-3.64 V, and the lifetime is 327-344 h. In contrast, the luminous efficiency of Examples 1-40 of the present invention is 38.7-43.4 cd / A, which is significantly higher than that of Comparative Examples 7-18. The driving voltage of Examples 1-40 of the present invention is 3.22-3.39 V, which is significantly lower than that of Comparative Examples 7-18. The lifetime of Examples 1-40 of the present invention is 460-491 h, which is much higher than that of Comparative Examples 7-18.
[0136] On the one hand, the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds provided by this invention have high electron mobility and high triplet energy levels, which can effectively improve the binding efficiency of holes and electrons, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of organic electroluminescent devices. Furthermore, they can effectively block the migration of holes to the electron transport layer, reducing the electron injection transport barrier, lowering the driving voltage, avoiding excessively high local voltage, and extending the device's lifespan. On the other hand, the constituent groups in the compounds of this invention are highly rigid, exhibiting characteristics such as poor intermolecular crystallization, poor aggregation, good film-forming properties, high glass transition temperature, and thermal stability. Therefore, when the compounds of this invention are applied to OLED devices, they can maintain the stability of the film layer after material formation, extending the device's lifespan. Thus, it can be seen that when the main material of the light-emitting layer is a combination of the first main compound with a specific structure and the second main compound with a specific structure of this invention, the driving voltage can be significantly reduced, and the luminous efficiency and lifespan can be improved.
[0137] As can be seen from the test results of Comparative Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 19-43, which are devices with only a single host material, the performance of devices including the first host compound with a specific structure provided by the present invention is slightly higher than that of single host compounds in the prior art. The host material provided by the present invention has better performance.
[0138] The applicant declares that the present invention is illustrated through the above embodiments to demonstrate the main compound, the dual-host organic electroluminescent material, and the light-emitting device of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, that is, it does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above embodiments to be implemented. Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvements to the present invention, equivalent substitutions of the raw materials used in the present invention, addition of auxiliary components, selection of specific methods, etc., all fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
