AI Technical Summary
Existing OLED materials suffer from low internal quantum efficiency, and phosphorescent emitters based on heavy metal complexes are costly and environmentally unfriendly, making it difficult to achieve efficient utilization of triplet excitons.
A boron-nitrogen heterocyclic TADF luminescent material is developed by embedding a carbazole ring into a B/N luminescent core. The resonance effect generated by B/N is used to discretize the HOMO/LUMO distribution of the molecule, thereby achieving a small singlet-triplet energy difference. This material can be applied to the luminescent layer or electron transport layer of organic electroluminescent devices.
It improves luminous efficiency and external quantum efficiency, reduces driving voltage, and extends device lifespan, while also possessing superior color purity.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of boron-nitrogen heterocyclic TADF light-emitting material and its application, belong to electronic luminescent material technical field. BACKGROUND
[0002] Organic electroluminescent device (Organic Light Emitting Diode, OLED for short), compared with liquid crystal display, has the advantages of high brightness, thin volume, rapid response, stable performance, high contrast, wide viewing angle, full color, it is relatively easy to prepare large-area flexible screen, etc., it is expected to replace the existing LCD display and fluorescent lamp lighting, and the application prospect is very superior.
[0003] The basic structure of OLED device is similar to "sandwich", including an indium tin oxide (ITO) connected with power positive electrode, a metal cathode, and the functional structure layer sandwiched between the positive electrode and the cathode. Compared with the basic structure, the hole transport layer (HTL), the light-emitting layer (EML) and the electron transport layer (ETL) will be included in the structure layer. When the power supply reaches the appropriate voltage, the positive hole from the hole transport layer and the negative charge from the electron transport layer will combine in the light-emitting layer. The migration of charge carriers in the corresponding organic layer eventually reaches the light-emitting layer and recombines to form an exciton. When the exciton returns to the ground state by radiative decay, a photon is emitted. The color of the light emitted depends mainly on the band gap width of the light-emitting material. Electroluminescent materials play a crucial role in OLED display technology.
[0004] However, the traditional OLED material is limited by internal quantum efficiency, and although the internal quantum efficiency of phosphorescent emitter based on heavy metal complex is significantly improved, there are problems of high cost and environmental unfriendliness. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new organic emitters to achieve efficient utilization of triplet excitons. TADF (thermally activated delayed fluorescence) materials emerge as the times require. TADF (thermally activated delayed fluorescence) materials are considered as the third generation of light-emitting materials due to their high fluorescence efficiency. Therefore, it is still an important task for researchers to design a TADF light-emitting material with long light-emitting life and high color purity. SUMMARY

[0101] The structure of the organic electroluminescent device is as follows: Figure 1The transparent anode electrode layer 2 (209 nm thick, indium tin oxide) having a transparent substrate layer 1 was treated as follows: the glass transparent substrate layer 1 was washed by sequentially performing alkaline washing, deionized water washing, acetone ultrasonic cleaning, ethanol ultrasonic cleaning, ultrapure water cleaning, drying, and then UV-ozone washing of the transparent anode electrode layer 2 to ensure removal of organic residues from the surface of the transparent anode electrode layer 2. After the above treatment, a hole injection layer 3 was deposited on the transparent anode electrode layer 2 using a vacuum deposition device, and a material of structural formula I (deposition conditions: molybdenum crucible, deposition rate 0.1 nm / s, vacuum degree 4.0*10 -5 Pa) to a thickness of 57 nm. This organic material was used as the hole injection layer 3. The hole injection layer 3 was followed by deposition of a material of structural formula II to a thickness of 23 nm as a hole transport layer 4, which was followed by deposition of a material of structural formula III to a thickness of 19 nm as an electron blocking layer 5.
[0102] After the deposition of the electron blocking layer 5 was completed, a material of structural formula IV and Ir(PPy)3 as a doping material were mixed in a doping weight ratio of 94:6 and then deposited on the electron blocking layer 5 (deposition conditions: molybdenum crucible, deposition rate 0.1 nm / s, vacuum degree 4.0*10 -5 Pa) to obtain a light-emitting layer 6 having a thickness of 32 nm.
[0103] The hole blocking layer 7 was prepared by continuing vacuum deposition of a material of structural formula V (hole blocking layer 7 material) on the light-emitting layer 6 (deposition conditions: molybdenum crucible, deposition rate 0.1 nm / s, vacuum degree 4.0*10-5Pa) to a thickness of 19 nm. After the deposition was completed, a material of structural formula VI was immediately deposited to obtain an electron transport layer 8 having a thickness of 79 nm. An electron injection layer 9 was prepared by depositing a 0.8 nm thick layer of lithium fluoride (LiF) as the electron injection layer 9 on the electron transport layer 8 using a vacuum deposition device.
[0104] A cathode reflective electrode layer 10 was prepared on the electron injection layer 9 by vacuum deposition. The cathode reflective electrode layer 10 was a 146 nm thick layer of aluminum (Al).
[0105] After the organic electroluminescent device was prepared as described above, the anode and the cathode were connected using a known driving circuit, and the luminous efficiency, the emission spectrum, and the current-voltage characteristics of the device were measured.
