Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly to an organic compound, mixture, composition, organic light-emitting device, and display apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Organic electroluminescence (OEL) technology utilizes the photoelectric properties of organic materials to directly convert electrical energy into light energy. OEL-based devices typically consist of an anode, a cathode, and multiple layers of organic functional layers. These layers include hole injection layers, hole transport layers, light-emitting auxiliary layers, light-emitting layers, electron transport layers, and electron injection layers, each containing specific organic materials designed to enhance the overall performance of the device. When a voltage is applied between the electrodes, holes are injected into the anode, and electrons are injected into the cathode. These combine to form excitons, which release light energy as they return to their ground state. As a typical representative of OEL technology, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have shone brightly in the flat panel display and lighting fields due to their numerous advantages, including self-illumination, high brightness, high efficiency, low voltage, wide viewing angle, and high contrast. Their wide viewing angle, fast response, low voltage requirements, and ultra-thin design fully demonstrate the enormous potential and broad application prospects of OLED technology in the future.

[0003] The selection and design of luminescent auxiliary materials play a crucial role in improving the luminous efficiency and extending the lifespan of OLED devices. Carefully designed luminescent auxiliary materials can effectively balance carrier transport in OLED devices, strongly suppress electron back migration, and promote electron-hole recombination primarily in the central region of the emissive layer, reducing non-radiative exciton recombination, thereby improving luminous efficiency and extending lifespan. Therefore, developing more efficient novel luminescent auxiliary materials to further optimize the balance of hole and electron transport within the device is a pressing issue for those skilled in the art, aimed at improving device efficiency and lifespan while maintaining a low driving voltage. Summary of the Invention

[0009] A fifth aspect of this application provides a display device comprising the organic light-emitting device described above.

[0010] This application provides an organic compound, mixture, composition, organic light-emitting device, and display device. The organic compound is an aromatic amine compound constructed with naphthobenzofuran and naphthalene as its core components. The rigid fused-ring structure of naphthobenzofuran, combined with the planar conjugated system of naphthalene, forms a highly efficient π-electron delocalization channel, lowering the hole transport barrier and accelerating charge injection and migration between the transport layer and the light-emitting layer, thus improving luminous efficiency. Simultaneously, it reduces voltage loss caused by charge accumulation, thereby lowering the driving voltage. Furthermore, the rigidity of the fused-ring structure and the close-packed π-π interactions between molecules enhance the thermal and chemical stability of the material, reducing molecular degradation caused by high temperatures or charge impacts during the operation of the organic light-emitting device, and extending the material's lifespan. Simultaneously, the introduction of naphthalene groups can regulate the molecular stacking mode, avoiding exciton quenching caused by excessive aggregation, further ensuring long-term performance. Therefore, when this organic compound is used as a light-emitting auxiliary material in an organic light-emitting device, it can significantly improve the luminous efficiency and lifespan of the organic light-emitting device while maintaining a low driving voltage.

The structure of the OLED organic light-emitting device can be referred to Figure 2 .

[0112] Taking the fabrication method of OLED organic light-emitting devices using compound M1 as a light-emitting auxiliary material as an example, the prepared OLED organic light-emitting device is denoted as "OLED-1". The fabrication method of organic light-emitting device OLED-1 includes the following steps: a. Cleaning of conductive glass substrate: Cleaning is performed using chloroform, ketone, and isopropanol, followed by ultraviolet ozone plasma treatment; b. Functional layer fabrication: First, the conductive glass substrate obtained in step a is transferred into a vacuum vapor deposition apparatus and deposited under high vacuum (1×10⁻⁶). -6 At millibars, resistance heating was used for evaporation at 1 Ås. -1Hole implantation materials PD and HT were deposited on ITO at a deposition rate of 3:97, resulting in a hole implantation layer with a thickness of 10 nm. Then, at a deposition rate of 1.5 Ås... -1 Hole transport material HT was deposited on the hole injection layer at a deposition rate of 1 Ås to obtain a hole transport layer with a thickness of 130 nm. Then, at a deposition rate of 1 Ås... -1 Compound M1, as described in Example 1, was deposited on the hole transport layer at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s to obtain a light-emitting auxiliary layer with a thickness of 90 nm. Next, BH and BD were deposited on the light-emitting auxiliary layer at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s, with a deposition rate ratio of 97:3, to obtain a light-emitting layer with a thickness of 40 nm. Subsequently, electron transport materials ET and Liq were placed in different evaporation crucibles in a vacuum chamber and subjected to high vacuum (1 × 10⁻⁶) conditions. -6 At a weight ratio of 5:5, ET and Liq were co-deposited at a density of 1 Å (mbar) to form an electron transport layer with a thickness of 30 nm on the luminescent layer.

Then, at a deposition rate of 1 Ås⁻¹... -1 The cathode material Al was deposited on the electron injection layer at a certain evaporation rate to obtain a cathode with a thickness of 100 nm.

[0113] c. Encapsulation: The device obtained in step b is encapsulated in a nitrogen glove box using ultraviolet-cured resin to finally obtain the organic light-emitting device OLED-1.

[0114] Following the preparation method of OLED-1, compounds M2 to M34 synthesized in the examples were selected as luminescent auxiliary materials to prepare OLED-2 to OLED-34. In the preparation methods of OLED-1 to OLED-34, all experimental conditions were the same except for the luminescent auxiliary materials.

[0115] Following the preparation method of OLED-1, comparative organic light-emitting devices OLED-Ref-01 to OLED-Ref-02 were prepared by using compounds Ref-01 to Ref-02 as luminescent auxiliary materials. The preparation methods for OLED-Ref-01 to OLED-Ref-02 were identical to those for OLED-1, except for the luminescent auxiliary materials.

[0116] In this application, the current-voltage (JV) characteristics of OLED-1 to OLED-34 and OLED-Ref-01 to OLED-Ref-02 devices were characterized, and important parameters such as luminous efficiency and lifetime were recorded, as shown in Table 2. Luminous efficiency is defined as the current density at 10 mA / cm². -2 The value obtained at that time; the lifetime (LT95) is at 10 mA / cm. -2 The time it takes for the brightness to drop to 95% of the initial brightness under the given current density.

[0117] Table 2

[0118] As shown in Table 2, the OLED devices (OLED-1 to OLED-34) prepared using the organic compounds (M1 to M34) of this application as blue light emitting auxiliary materials have significantly better luminous efficiency and lifetime than the control devices OLED-Ref-01 and OLED-Ref-02, and have a lower driving voltage. This is because, in the aromatic amine organic compounds of this application, which contain naphthobenzofuran and naphthalene as the core, the rigid fused-ring structure of naphthobenzofuran combines with the planar conjugated system of naphthalene to form a highly efficient π-electron delocalization channel, reducing the hole transport barrier and accelerating charge injection and migration between the transport layer and the emitting layer, thereby improving luminous efficiency. Simultaneously, it reduces voltage loss caused by charge accumulation, thus lowering the driving voltage. Furthermore, the rigidity of the fused-ring structure of the organic compounds and the close-packed π-π interactions between molecules enhance the thermal and chemical stability of the material, reducing molecular degradation caused by high temperatures or charge impacts during the operation of organic light-emitting devices, and extending the material's lifespan. Moreover, the introduction of naphthalene groups can regulate the molecular stacking mode, avoiding exciton quenching caused by excessive aggregation, further ensuring long-term performance. Therefore, when the organic compounds of this application are used as blue light emission auxiliary materials in organic light-emitting devices, they can significantly improve the luminous efficiency and lifespan of organic light-emitting devices while maintaining a low driving voltage, exhibiting excellent overall device performance.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application.
