[0137]

[0138]

[0139] Based on the series of compounds synthesized above, this application systematically evaluates their physical properties and photoelectric performance. The relevant test items are as follows: (1) Triplet level (T1): using the Horiba Fluorolog 3 series fluorescence spectrometer, at 2×10 -5 Determined in mol / L toluene solution.

[0140] (2) Glass transition temperature (Tg): The temperature was tested using a differential scanning calorimeter Pyris Diamond (DSC2920) under a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating and cooling rate of 10℃ / min.

[0141] (3) HOMO level: obtained by the AC-2 ionization energy testing system under atmospheric conditions.

[0142] (4) LUMO level: derived from E LUMO =E HOMO +Eg was calculated, where the band gap Eg was measured using a Hitachi U2900 dual-beam UV-Vis spectrophotometer.

[0143] (5) Electron mobility: The compound synthesized in the example of this application was made into a single-electron device and the space charge confined current (SCLC) method was used to measure the electron mobility based on the single-electron device structure.

[0144] The single-electron device comprises a substrate / anode, a hole injection layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a cathode arranged in sequence, and its fabrication method is as follows: Substrate / Anode: The ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)-Ag-ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) glass substrate was cleaned twice in distilled water, ultrasonically cleaned for 30 minutes in a commercial cleaning agent, and then repeatedly cleaned twice with distilled water, ultrasonically cleaned for 10 minutes each time. After cleaning, it was ultrasonically cleaned sequentially with ethanol, acetone, and isopropanol (5 minutes each time), dried, and then transferred to a plasma cleaner for 5 minutes. It was then baked in a clean environment until all moisture was removed, cleaned with ultraviolet photosynthetic ozone, and then treated with oxygen plasma for 30 seconds. Finally, it was sent to the vacuum chamber of the vapor deposition machine and evacuated. Using this substrate as the anode, other functional layers were sequentially vapor-deposited on it.

[0145] Hole injection layer: LiQ (10nm) was deposited on ITO as a hole injection layer at a deposition rate of 0.1nm / s.

[0146] Electron transport layer: Compound 3: 50% LiQ (60nm) was deposited on the hole injection layer as an electron transport layer, wherein compound 3 is the electron transport material and the deposition rate is 0.05nm / s. 8-hydroxyquinoline lithium (LiQ) with a mass ratio of 50% was doped and the deposition rate was 0.05nm / s.

[0147] Electron injection layer: Yb (1 nm) is deposited on the electron transport layer as an electron injection layer at a deposition rate of 0.1 nm / s.

[0148] Cathode: Ag was deposited on the electron injection layer: 10% Mg (14nm) was used as the cathode, the deposition rate of Ag was 0.09nm / s, and the deposition rate of Mg was 0.01nm / s.

[0149] The electron mobility of various electron transport materials at a thickness of 60 nm is shown in Table 7, where the electron mobility is expressed in scientific notation. In the embodiments of this application, the numerical value aEb described in scientific notation is equivalent to a × 10⁻⁶. b For example, 1×10 4 It can be written as 1E4.

[0150] The test results for other test items are also shown in Table 7, which covers the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level, the triplet excitation energy (T1), the glass transition temperature (Tg), and the electron mobility of the compound.

[0151]

[0152]

[0153] As can be seen from Table 7, the glass transition temperatures of the compounds provided in this application are all higher than 150℃, which is significantly better than that of conventional organic materials. This indicates that they have excellent phase stability and high temperature resistance after film formation, which is beneficial to extending the service life of OLED devices and improving luminous stability.

[0154] The compounds provided in this application generally have deep HOMO levels (-6.00 eV to -6.30 eV) and moderate LUMO levels, which can effectively reduce the carrier injection barrier, thereby reducing the driving voltage and improving device efficiency. Especially for hole blocking layer materials, the deeper HOMO levels can effectively suppress holes from crossing the light-emitting layer from the anode side, reduce leakage current, and increase the probability of electron-hole recombination in the light-emitting layer.

[0155] The compounds provided in this application all have triplet energy levels (T1) higher than 2.3 eV, with some even exceeding 2.5 eV. This characteristic is particularly important for blue phosphorescent OLEDs. High triplet energy levels can reduce the number of excitons leaving the emissive layer, effectively preventing excitons from diffusing back from the emissive layer to the transport layer, improving the efficiency of exciton conversion luminescence, ensuring the energy transfer efficiency between host and guest components, suppressing energy loss caused by non-radiative transitions, and thus improving the current efficiency and lifetime of the device.

[0156] The compounds provided in this application also have high electron mobility, which helps to improve device voltage, especially turn-on voltage and current efficiency.

[0157] The structure and performance of organic electroluminescent devices prepared using the compounds provided in this application will be further described in detail below through Examples 1-24 and Comparative Examples 1-4.

[0158] See the structure of organic electroluminescent devices. Figure 1 It includes a glass substrate 110, an anode 120, a hole injection layer 130, a hole transport layer 140, an electron blocking layer 150, a light-emitting layer 160, a hole blocking layer 170, an electron transport layer 180, an electron injection layer 190, a cathode 200, and a light extraction layer 210 arranged in sequence. The specific structure is: glass / anode (ITO) / hole injection layer (HIL) / hole transport layer (HTL) / electron blocking layer (EBL) / light-emitting layer (EML, main material: blue light-emitting material) / hole blocking layer (HBL) / electron transport layer (ETL, electron transport material: lithium 8-hydroxyquinoline) / electron injection layer (EIL) / cathode / light extraction layer (CPL).

[0159] Example 1 A transparent conductive ITO glass substrate 110 (with an anode 120) (China Southern Glass Holding Co., Ltd.) was ultrasonically treated in a commercial cleaning agent, rinsed in deionized water, and then sequentially washed with ethanol, acetone, and deionized water. It was then baked in a clean environment until all moisture was removed, cleaned with ultraviolet photosynthetic ozone, and treated with oxygen plasma for 30 seconds. The anode-bearing glass substrate was then placed in a vacuum chamber and evacuated.

[0160] Hole injection layer: Compound HT and p-dopant (mass ratio of 97:3, thickness of 10 nm) were vapor-deposited on ITO as hole injection layer 130 at a deposition rate of 0.1 nm / s.

[0161] Hole transport layer: Compound HT is deposited on the hole injection layer to form a 100 nm thick hole transport layer 140, with a deposition rate of 0.1 nm / s.

[0162] Electron blocking layer: EB was deposited by vapor deposition to form a 10 nm thick electron blocking layer 150. The deposition rate was 0.1 nm / s.

[0163] Light-emitting layer: A 30nm thick light-emitting layer 160 is deposited on the electron blocking layer, wherein BH is the main light-emitting material, and BD is used as the blue light-emitting material at a weight ratio of 3%, and the deposition rate is 0.1nm / s.

[0164] Hole blocking layer: Compound HB-1 is deposited on the light-emitting layer to form a 5 nm thick hole blocking layer 170, with a deposition rate of 0.1 nm / s.

[0165] Electron transport layer: Compound 3:LiQ (weight ratio 5:5) with a thickness of 35 nm was deposited as electron transport layer 180. LiQ is lithium 8-hydroxyquinoline, and the deposition rate was 0.1 nm / s.

[0166] Electron injection layer: A 1nm thick LiQ layer is deposited as the electron injection layer 190.

[0167] Cathode: A 15nm Mg:Ag electrode layer is deposited by vapor deposition, with a Mg to Ag mass ratio of 1:9 as the device cathode 200.

[0168] Light extraction layer: An 80nm CPL is vacuum-deposited on the cathode layer 200 as the light extraction layer 210.

[0169] The methods for preparing organic electroluminescent devices in Examples 2-24 and Comparative Examples 1-4 can be found in Example 1, and will not be repeated here. The difference is that the materials used for the electron transport layer and the hole blocking layer are different, as shown in Table 8.

[0170] The materials used for the remaining layers are shown below:

[0171]

[0176] .

[0177]

[0178]

[0179]

[0180] The devices prepared in Examples 1-24 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were subjected to performance tests. The device performance was tested using a Photo Research PR655 spectrometer, and the results were measured at 1000 cd / cm². 2 Operating voltage, on-time voltage @1 nit, current efficiency (Index), and color coordinates at various brightness levels were measured. Room temperature and high temperature lifespan tests were conducted using a Jinghe D3000-96CH lifespan meter, measured at 20 mA / cm². 2 The time (LT95) for the brightness to become 95% of the initial brightness in environments with normal temperature (27℃) and high temperature (85℃) under current density is shown in Table 9.

[0181]

[0182]

[0183] As can be seen from Table 9, the overall performance of the devices prepared in Examples 1-24 is significantly better than that of Comparative Examples 1-4, mainly in the following aspects: First, the driving voltage, i.e., the operating voltage, of the devices prepared in Examples 1-24 is between 3.42V and 3.59V, all lower than 3.60V, while the driving voltage of the devices prepared in Comparative Examples 1-4 is as high as 3.72V to 3.90V. It is evident that the devices prepared in Examples 1-24 have lower driving voltages.

[0184] Furthermore, the turn-on voltages of the devices prepared in Examples 1-24 are generally between 2.61V and 2.80V, while the turn-on voltages of the devices prepared in Comparative Examples 1-4 are between 2.93V and 3.09V. This indicates that the devices prepared in Examples 1-24 also have relatively low turn-on voltages.

[0185] This demonstrates that the devices prepared from the compounds provided in this application have lower driving voltage and turn-on voltage, which can significantly improve device energy efficiency and reduce device power consumption.

[0186] Secondly, the current efficiencies (Index column, unit: cd / A) of the devices prepared in Examples 1-24 are all in the range of 220.18-239.59, while the current efficiencies of the devices prepared in Comparative Examples 1-4 are in the range of 187.72-200.14. This shows that the current efficiencies of the devices prepared in Examples 1-24 are significantly higher than those in Comparative Examples 1-4. This demonstrates that the devices prepared from the compounds provided in this application have higher luminous efficiency and more efficient energy conversion, making them suitable for high-brightness, low-power display and lighting applications.

[0187] Secondly, regarding the lifetime at room temperature (LT95): the devices prepared in Examples 1-24 all had a lifetime of ≥233 hours, most of which exceeded 245 hours, with the highest reaching 264 hours. In contrast, the devices prepared in Comparative Examples 1-4 had a lifetime in the range of 187-201 hours, which was significantly lower than that of Examples 1-24.

[0188] Regarding the 85℃ high-temperature lifetime (LT95): the devices prepared in Examples 1-24 all had a high-temperature lifetime of ≥167 hours, with most ranging from 175 hours to 183 hours. In contrast, the devices prepared in Comparative Examples 1-4 only had a lifetime of 107 hours to 124 hours, showing a significant difference.

[0189] Compared to ET-1, ET-2, ET-4, HB-1, HB-2, HB-3, and HB-4, the spirostructure of the compound in this application has a larger conjugated system, which can increase the charge mobility of the molecule and improve device performance. Compared to ET-3, although it also introduces an indole group, the connection method is different. The spirostructure of ET-3 introduces a phenyl group through the nitrogen atom of the indole, which causes distortion and has poor stability.

[0190] This demonstrates that the compounds provided in this application can significantly improve the thermal stability and long-term operational reliability of devices, with particularly prominent advantages in high-temperature environments.

[0191] Analysis suggests that the improved performance is attributable to the following key characteristics of the compound provided in this application: (1) Suitable HOMO / LUMO energy levels: are beneficial for achieving good carrier injection and balance; (2) High triplet energy level (T1 > 2.3 eV): effectively restricts exciton diffusion and improves energy utilization efficiency; (3) High glass transition temperature (Tg > 150℃): Ensures the thermal stability of the thin film and extends the device life; (4) Excellent electron mobility (~10) -5 cm 2 / (V·s): Promotes electron transport, reduces voltage, and improves efficiency.

[0192] In summary, the compounds provided in this application possess the aforementioned characteristics, and these characteristics work synergistically to enable the compounds provided in this application to exhibit excellent performance in OLED devices, including lower operating voltage, higher current efficiency and external quantum efficiency, and longer lifespan, achieving comprehensive optimization.

[0193] The above description is only for the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of this application, and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
