[0065] The light-emitting device of this invention includes:
[0066] The luminescent material described in the above embodiments.
[0067] The light-emitting layer in the light-emitting device of the present invention can be incorporating this light-emitting material. The light-emitting compound can solve the problem of difficulty in improving hole injection while balancing high T1 energy level and shallow HOMO, making the energy levels of HOMO and LOMO more matched, possessing high T1 energy level and shallow HOMO energy level, which can improve hole injection, inhibit the formation of excitocomplex, and allow holes and electrons to be injected more smoothly into the light-emitting layer, thereby improving the light emission effect.

Similarly, the electron transport layer facilitates electron injection and transport while preventing hole injection. Positioning an electron transport layer between the electron injection layer and the light-emitting layer promotes electron transport.

The electron blocking layer can block electrons from the cathode, allowing holes and electrons to effectively combine at the interface of the light-emitting layer and excite radiative emission, which is beneficial to improving the luminous efficiency and brightness of the light-emitting device. The hole blocking layer can prevent holes injected from the anode from transporting to the cathode, allowing electrons and holes to effectively combine in the light-emitting layer and excite radiative emission, which is beneficial to improving the luminous efficiency and brightness of the light-emitting device.

[0121] Preparation of the compound having structural formula 79 according to the present invention:
[0122] The first five steps are the same as those used in the preparation of compound G in this invention to prepare compound E, and the steps described above can be referred to. The final step is as follows:
[0123]
[0124] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, substances E (95.23 mmol) and F1 (98.14 mmol), along with Pd2(dba)3, S-phos (2-bicyclohexylphosphine-2',6'-dimethoxy-1,1'-diphenyl), t-BuONa, and toluene, were added sequentially to a 500 mL three-necked flask. The mixture was then heated to 70 °C and refluxed for 10 h. After the system temperature cooled to room temperature, the reaction solution was poured into 800 mL of deionized water, extracted with dichloromethane, and the organic phase was collected, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated to obtain the crude product. Subsequently, toluene was used as the eluent, and the mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography to remove inorganic salts and excess catalyst impurities. The crude product was then concentrated by rotary evaporation. The crude product was recrystallized from n-heptane / dichloromethane to finally obtain the compound of the present invention with structural formula 79 (yield 65.16%).

[0126] The compounds of this invention can achieve energy levels above 3.0 eV based on quantum computing T1, with HOMO energy levels in the range of 4.8–5.2 eV, demonstrating improved hole injection compared to existing host materials. HOMO represents the highest occupied molecular orbital, and LOMO represents the lowest occupied molecular orbital.
[0127] The HOMO and LOMO energy level values of existing OLED materials are shown in Table 1.

[0135] In order for holes to be successfully injected through the blue phosphorescent host material, the HOMO value needs to be between 4.9 and 5.2 eV according to quantum computing. However, the existing blue phosphorescent host material has the same HOMO value as the compound in Example 1. Another problem with the blue phosphorescent host material is insufficient molecular stereochemistry. Due to the characteristics of the dopant molecular structure, the molecules overlap with each other, which easily leads to the formation of excitocomplexes. Therefore, the T1 energy level decreases, resulting in a redshift of the emission wavelength or a decrease in luminescence efficiency.
[0136] Light-emitting devices were prepared using compounds F and G. Compounds F and G were added to the light-emitting layer of the light-emitting devices. The performance of the devices prepared using compounds F and G was compared, as shown in Table 3.
[0137] In Example 1 of this application, the structure of the organic electroluminescent device can be: ITO / HIL (HTL: P-Dopant) (10nm, film thickness ratio 98%:2%) / HTL (110nm) / EBL (5nm) / EML: (compound G: SiTrzCz2: Ptdopant) (30nm, film thickness ratio 7:3:10%) / HBL (5nm) / ETL:LIQ (35nm, film thickness ratio 1:1) / YB (1nm) / Mg:Ag (11nm, mass ratio 2:8) / CPL (70nm). Among them, "film thickness ratio 98%:2%" means that the film thickness ratio of HTL to P-Dopant is 98%:2%; "film thickness ratio 7:3:10%" means that the vapor-deposited film thickness of Pt dopant accounts for 10% of the total thickness of the light-emitting layer, the sum of the vapor-deposited film thicknesses of compound G and SiTrzCz2 accounts for 90% of the total thickness of the light-emitting layer, and the vapor-deposited film thickness ratio of compound G to SiTrzCz2 is 7:3.
[0138] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Implementation Example 1 is that compound G is replaced by compound F.
[0139]
[0140]
[0141] The difference between Implementation Example 2 and Implementation Example 1 is:
[0142] Replace compound G with a compound having structural formula 77;
[0143] The difference between Implementation Example 3 and Implementation Example 1 is:
[0144] Replace compound G with a compound having structural formula 79.
[0145] Table 3 compares the performance of light-emitting devices prepared from different compounds in the examples and implementation examples.
[0146] Name Efficiency (Cd / A / y) CIE y Lifetime (hr @ LT90) Comparative Example 1 100% 0.061 100% Example 1 238% 0.059 2000% Example 2 252% 0.056 1280% Example 3 244% 0.058 2560%
[0147] As shown in Table 3, the light-emitting device prepared by compound F in Comparative Example 1 has lower efficiency and shorter lifespan; the light-emitting devices prepared by the compounds in Examples 1-3 have higher efficiency and longer lifespan. The compounds in this invention have higher luminous efficiency and longer lifespan than the light-emitting device prepared by compound F in Comparative Example 1.
[0148] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in Figure 1In the diagram, curve m1 represents the spectrum of compound F in Comparative Example 1, curve m2 represents the spectrum of compound F in Comparative Example 1 mixed with the N-type host material, and curve m3 represents the spectrum of the blue phosphorescent dopant material; Figure 2 In the diagram, curve n1 represents the spectrum of compound G in Example 1, curve n2 represents the spectrum of compound G mixed with the N-type host material in Example 1, and curve n3 represents the spectrum of the blue phosphorescent dopant material. In contrast, in Example 1, compound F forms a thin film with the host material. The spectral wavelength of this film is longer than that of the blue phosphorescent dopant material. The T1 energy level of the host material is lower, resulting in the transfer of some excitons originally belonging to the dopant material, hindering luminescence and reducing luminescence efficiency. However, when compound G is mixed with the host material, the spectrum is almost within the same wavelength range as the dopant material, so energy transfer can proceed normally.
[0149] With its relatively planar molecular structure, compound F in Example 1, while exhibiting a high T1 value in its thin film state, forms an exciton complex when deposited together with the N-type host material. This causes the PL (photoluminescence) spectrum to shift towards longer wavelengths. Therefore, compared to the blue light-doped material, the host material has a lower T1 energy level, transferring some of the exciton complex that originally belonged to the dopant material, hindering luminescence and reducing luminous efficiency by 60%. Compound G in Example 1 possesses a high T1 energy level, an appropriate HOMO energy level, and a stereolithographic material structure. Its properties were compared by fabricating it into a top-mounted light-emitting device on a development device.
[0150]
[0151] Compound H was used to prepare a device as Comparative Example 2, and compound G was used to prepare a device as Implemented Example 1. The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Implemented Example 1 is that compound G was replaced by compound H.
[0152] The specific test results of compound H in Comparative Example 2 and compound G in Example 1, as well as the prepared light-emitting devices, are shown in Table 4.
[0153] Table 4 compares the specific test results of compound H in Example 2 with those of the compound in the implementation example and the prepared light-emitting device.
[0154]
[0155] As shown in Table 4, the devices prepared by the compounds in this invention have low driving voltage and long service life.
[0156] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, Figure 4 Represents the JV curve. Figure 5 Represents the Roll-off curve. Figure 6Represents the lifespan curve. For example... Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the JV curve in Example 1 is more skewed to the left, indicating a lower driving voltage and superior hole injection capability compared to the comparative compound H. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the roll-off curves have a basically consistent slope, indicating that the efficiency levels are comparable. Figure 6 As shown in the lifetime curves, it can be seen that under the same test conditions (1000 nits @ 25°C), the lifetime performance of Example 1 is better than that of the device using the comparative compound H.
[0157] It is difficult for blue phosphorescent host materials to simultaneously possess both high T1 and shallow HOMO characteristics. This molecular structure is the p-type host material with the shallowest HOMO level among existing blue phosphorescent host materials. Furthermore, to prevent the formation of exciton complexes between host materials or between the host material and dopants, which would lead to a decrease in luminescence efficiency, it is necessary to include a molecular structure that enhances stereochemistry.
[0158] Table 5 shows the quantum calculation results for some compound molecules, whose molecular structures cannot meet the standard of T1>3.0ev.
[0159] Table 5. Quantum calculation results for some compound molecules.
[0160]
[0161]
[0162] As shown in Table 5, the quantum calculation results of some of the above-mentioned compound molecules show that their molecular structures cannot meet the standard of T1 > 3.0 eV. The T1 energy level of the compound in Example 1 of this invention is 3.11 eV, which is relatively high. The test results of the above examples show that the compound in this invention can solve the problem of difficulty in improving hole injection while balancing a high T1 energy level and a shallow HOMO, making the HOMO and LOMO energy levels more matched, possessing a high T1 energy level and a shallow HOMO energy level, suppressing the formation of exciton complexes, and allowing holes and electrons to be injected more smoothly into the luminescent layer.
