Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic optoelectronic material preparation technology, specifically to a boron nitride compound and an organic electroluminescent device containing the same. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of multimedia technology and the increasing demands for information technology, the requirements for panel display performance are becoming increasingly stringent. Among these, OLEDs, with their advantages of self-emissive emission, low-voltage DC drive, full solid-state operation, wide viewing angle, and rich colors, have attracted widespread attention due to their potential applications in next-generation displays and lighting technologies, showing a very broad application prospect. Organic electroluminescent devices are self-emissive light-emitting devices. The light-emitting mechanism of OLEDs involves electrons and holes being injected from the positive and negative electrodes respectively under the action of an external electric field, migrating, recombinating, and decaying in the organic material to produce light. A typical OLED structure includes one or more functional layers such as a cathode layer, anode layer, electron injection layer, electron transport layer, hole blocking layer, hole transport layer, hole injection layer, and light-emitting layer. Although research on organic electroluminescence has progressed very rapidly, many problems still need to be solved.
