Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic electroluminescent materials technology, specifically relating to an organic compound and an organic electroluminescent device containing the same. Background Technology

[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are display devices that utilize the phenomenon of self-emission. Compared with liquid crystal displays, OLED devices have the characteristics of active light emission, fast response speed, and ultra-thinness, enabling ultra-thin and flexible displays. As a new full-color display technology and lighting technology, they have attracted much attention and anticipation from the industry.

[0003] OLED devices typically consist of an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer sandwiched between them. The organic layer is a multi-layered structure composed of materials with different functions, such as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, an emissive layer, a hole blocking layer, and an electron transport layer. The emissive layer usually consists of a luminescent material and a host material. The luminescent material primarily determines the OLED device's emission color, luminous efficiency, and operational stability. Meanwhile, the electron-hole transport balance, singlet, triplet, HOMO, and LUMO energy levels of the host material, paired with the luminescent material, and its matching with the electron blocking / hole blocking layer are also crucial factors affecting the operational stability and luminous efficiency of the OLED device, especially for blue OLED devices, where the host material is particularly important.

[0004] Currently, there is significant room for improvement in the stability and luminous efficiency of blue OLED devices, hindering the industrialization of OLED display panels. The reasons for this include not only the need for high-efficiency luminescent materials but also the crucial influence of the performance of the host material. Existing blue OLED host materials mainly suffer from issues such as electron-hole transport imbalance, energy level mismatch between HOMO and LUMO levels and the interface electron / hole blocking layer, and excessively low triplet energy levels, leading to insufficient luminous performance in blue OLED devices.

[0005] Therefore, designing and seeking new host materials to serve as novel host materials for blue light dyes in OLED components to overcome shortcomings in industrial applications has always been a key focus of OLED material research. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide an organic compound and an organic electroluminescent device containing the same. Through molecular structure design, the organic compound can achieve a balance in the transport of electrons and holes, while possessing high singlet and triplet energy levels. It is particularly suitable as a host material for the light-emitting layer in organic electroluminescent devices, which can improve device efficiency, delay the decay of device efficiency with increasing brightness, and improve the stability of device operation.

[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an organic compound having a structure as shown in Formula I:

[0009]

[0010] In Formula I, ring Ar is selected from any one of C6-C30 aromatic rings or C3-C30 heteroaromatic rings.

[0011] In Formula I, Z1 is selected from any one of the following: unsubstituted or R3-substituted C6-C30 aryl, unsubstituted or R3-substituted C3-C30 heteroaryl, unsubstituted or R3-substituted C6-C30 arylamino, unsubstituted or R3-substituted C1-C20 straight-chain or branched alkyl, unsubstituted or R3-substituted C1-C20 alkoxy, and unsubstituted or R3-substituted C1-C20 alkylthio.

[0012] R1, R2, and R3 are each independently selected from any one of deuterium, halogen, cyano, unsubstituted or R'-substituted C1-C20 straight-chain or branched alkyl, unsubstituted or R'-substituted C6-C20 aryl, unsubstituted or R'-substituted C1-C20 alkoxy, and unsubstituted or R'-substituted C1-C20 alkylthio.

[0013] R' is independently selected from any one of deuterium, halogen, cyano, unsubstituted or halogenated C1-C20 straight-chain or branched alkyl, unsubstituted or halogenated C1-C20 alkoxy, and unsubstituted or halogenated C1-C20 alkylthio.

[0014] In this invention, the "unsubstituted or R3-substituted" group can replace one or more substituents R3. When there are multiple (at least two) substituents R3, the multiple R3s can be the same or different groups. Similarly, the "unsubstituted or R'-substituted" group can replace one or more substituents R'. When there are multiple (at least two) substituents R', the multiple R's can be the same or different groups. The same expressions used below have the same meaning. Unless otherwise specified, the selection range of substituents is as shown above and will not be repeated.

[0015] In formula I, n represents a benzofuran unit. The number of elements, where n is an integer selected from 1 to 3, for example, it can be 1, 2, or 3; when n is 2 or 3, there are multiple (2-3) elements. These can be the same or different groups. Preferably, n is 2 or 3.

[0016] In Formula I, m, a, and b represent the number of groups Z1, R1, and R2, respectively; where m is an integer selected from 0 to 3, for example, 0, 1, 2, or 3. a is an integer selected from 0 to 2, for example, 0, 1, or 2. b is an integer selected from 0 to 4, for example, 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. a + b ≤ 5.

[0017] It should be noted that when m≥2, multiple Z1s are the same or different groups; when a=2, two R1s are the same or different groups; when b≥2, multiple R2s are the same or different groups.

[0018] The organic compound provided by this invention has the structure shown in Formula I, containing 1-3 benzofuran groups. Due to the weak electron-deficient characteristics of the oxygen atom, the benzofuran structure in the molecular system can endow the molecule with electron transport capabilities. The Ar ring is an aromatic ring or an aromatic heterocycle, which can synergistically regulate the triplet energy level and charge transport performance of the molecular skeleton with the benzofuran structure, thereby controlling the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of the material. Through the design of the molecular structure, this invention enables the organic compound to possess excellent bipolar charge transport characteristics, achieving balanced hole and electron transport, while also exhibiting high singlet and triplet energy levels, making it suitable as a host material for blue, green, and red light.

[0019] Furthermore, various Z1 substituents can be optionally introduced around the core π skeleton of the organic compound. On the one hand, this can regulate the molecular stacking, and on the other hand, it can adjust the distribution of molecular orbital electrons and regulate charge transport characteristics, so as to further regulate the electron and hole mobility and transport balance of the material.

[0020] In summary, the organic compounds provided by this invention can serve as the main material system for organic electroluminescent devices. These materials possess high luminous efficiency and excellent bipolar charge transport characteristics, along with high glass transition temperature and thermal stability. This results in organic electroluminescent devices containing these compounds exhibiting high luminous efficiency, slow efficiency roll-off, and better stability. Furthermore, the synthesis process of these organic compounds is simple and suitable for large-scale industrial production.
