Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of display technology, and more specifically to an organic electroluminescent compound and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Electroluminescent devices (EL devices) are self-emissive devices that offer advantages such as a wider viewing angle, higher contrast ratio, and faster response time. Organic EL devices (OLEDs) convert electrical energy into light by applying electricity to organic electroluminescent materials and generally have a structure comprising an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer between the anode and cathode. The organic layer of an organic EL device can consist of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a light-emitting layer (containing a host material and dopants), an electron buffer layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer, etc. The materials used in the organic layer are classified according to their function as hole injection materials, hole transport materials, electron blocking materials, light-emitting materials, electron buffer materials, hole blocking materials, electron transport materials, and electron injection materials, etc. In the organic EL device, due to the application of voltage, holes are injected from the anode into the light-emitting layer, and electrons are injected from the cathode into the light-emitting layer, and high-energy excitons are formed through the recombination of holes and electrons. With this energy, the organic light-emitting compound reaches an excited state, and light is emitted by the energy generated by the return of the organic light-emitting compound from the excited state to the ground state.
[0003] The most important factor determining the luminescence efficiency of organic EL devices is the luminescent material. The luminescent material must possess high quantum efficiency and high electron and hole mobility, and the resulting luminescent material layer must be uniform and stable. Luminescent materials are classified according to the color of their emission into blue, green, and red luminescent materials, as well as yellow and orange luminescent materials. Furthermore, luminescent materials can also be classified according to their function into host materials and dopant materials.
[0004] Developing organic EL devices that offer high efficiency and long lifetime is a pressing issue. Specifically, considering the EL characteristic requirements of OLEDs for medium- or large-sized panels, it is necessary to develop materials that can exhibit better characteristics than conventional materials. However, the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of existing organic electroluminescent materials have poor matching with adjacent energy levels, leading to low stability and carrier mobility imbalance. This results in organic electroluminescent devices containing these materials having high driving voltages, low luminous efficiency, and short lifetimes, severely limiting their applications. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems in related technologies where the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of organic electroluminescent materials have poor matching with adjacent energy levels, resulting in low stability and unbalanced carrier mobility of the organic electroluminescent materials. This leads to problems such as high driving voltage, low luminous efficiency, and short lifetime of organic electroluminescent devices containing such materials. In this way, an organic electroluminescent compound and its application are provided.

[0212] Device Test Examples
[0213] The organic electroluminescent devices obtained in Device Examples 1-17 of the Device Examples were tested.
[0214] Instruments: The current, voltage, brightness, emission spectrum and other characteristics of the device were tested simultaneously using a PR 650 spectral scanning luminance meter and a Keithley K 2400 digital source meter system;
[0215] Test conditions: Photoelectric property test conditions: current density 10 mA / cm² 2 .
[0216] Lifetime test: current density 10mA / cm 2 The recording time (in hours) is recorded when the device brightness drops to 95% of its original brightness.
[0217] The lifetime T95 of device comparative example 1 is set to 100, and the lifetimes of other devices are relative to the lifetimes of device comparative example 1.
[0218] The device performance test results are shown in Table 4:
[0219] Table 4
[0220]
[0221]
[0222] Based on the data from device examples 1-10 and 11-17, it was found that the current efficiency and lifetime were significantly improved. This is mainly due to the special asymmetric deuteration of the carbazole basic unit, which can further reduce molecular symmetry and increase molecular dipole, effectively improving the stability of molecular structure, thereby significantly improving the photoelectric stability and film-forming properties of the material. The asymmetric deuteration of the molecule makes the molecular vibration non-uniform, which is conducive to the release of energy from the excited state, thereby improving the current efficiency and lifetime of organic light-emitting devices.
[0223] Furthermore, the synthetic route shown in this application does not require the use of the pressure deuteration method in the prior art, such as patent KR1020210045244A and patent CN117683032A, and will not introduce uncontrollable and difficult-to-purify impurities, thereby improving the current efficiency and lifetime of organic light-emitting devices. In Device Examples 1-4, the basic compound unit carbazole was completely deuterated. In Device Examples 5-10, one carbazole in the basic compound unit was completely deuterated, while the other carbazole had only one deuteration. Overall, Device Examples 1-4 had better current efficiency and lifetime than Device Examples 5-10. This is mainly because the deuteration of the other basic compound unit carbazole led to excessive molecular vibration intensity and reduced molecular stability, thus reducing the current efficiency and lifetime of the organic light-emitting device. Under the special asymmetric deuteration conditions of the carbazole basic unit, as the number of deuterated carbazole units increased, such as in Device Examples 11-16, the molecular vibration intensity further increased, further reducing molecular stability and leading to a further reduction in the current efficiency and lifetime of the organic light-emitting device. Device Example 17 also illustrates that deuteration of both main compounds in a dual-substrate light-emitting material is beneficial to improving the current efficiency and lifetime of the organic light-emitting device.
[0224] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
