Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic optoelectronic materials technology, specifically to a class of self-sensitized organic light-emitting materials with a helical ring structure and their organic electroluminescent devices. Background Technology
[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are widely considered the third generation of display technology after cathode ray tubes and liquid crystal displays (LCDs) due to their advantages such as self-illumination, flexibility, high color gamut, wide viewing angle, and fast response. After more than 30 years of accumulation and development, OLED technology has gradually matured and is gradually replacing LCDs in the display field; in the field of solid-state lighting, OLEDs are also expected to replace incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps, becoming a new generation of high-quality light sources.
[0003] OLEDs are carrier-dual-injection light-emitting devices, composed of positive and negative electrodes and multiple layers of organic thin-film functional layers. The organic functional layer material is a key factor determining device performance, and the core functional material is the light-emitting material, directly determining the OLED's luminescent properties. Historically, OLED light-emitting materials have been divided into three generations: the first generation uses fluorescent materials, the second generation uses phosphorescent materials, and the third generation uses thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Due to spin-forbidden limitations, OLEDs based on first-generation fluorescent materials can only emit light using singlet excitons, resulting in an internal quantum efficiency of less than 25%. OLEDs based on second-generation phosphorescent materials introduce noble metal atoms into the molecular structure, enabling triplet excitons to emit phosphorescence through spin-orbit coupling, achieving a 100% internal quantum efficiency. However, the noble metal resources required for phosphorescent materials are scarce and expensive. Furthermore, the low dissociation energy of the metal coordination bonds in phosphorescent molecules means that the stability of deep blue phosphorescent devices has consistently fallen short of practical application requirements. In recent years, Professor Adachi's research group at Kyushu University in Japan has used molecular design to narrow the energy gap (ΔE) between the lowest excited singlet and lowest excited triplet states of charge-transfer molecules. ST By controlling the fluorescence intensity within a sufficiently small range (<0.3 eV), the molecule exhibits thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) properties, meaning that triplet excitons can undergo reverse intersystem crossing transitions to singlet states and emit fluorescence. Therefore, luminescent materials with TADF properties combine the advantages of fluorescent and phosphorescent materials, achieving 100% internal quantum efficiency in OLEDs while reducing device material costs, thus earning them the reputation of third-generation OLED luminescent materials.
[0004] The most commonly used TADF molecular design strategy currently involves introducing donor and acceptor groups into the molecule to reduce the overlap integral of the molecular frontier orbitals, thereby reducing the ΔE of the molecule. ST However, according to Fermi's golden rule, a decrease in the overlap integral of molecular orbitals at the molecular frontier leads to a reduction in the radiative transition rate of the material. This means that there is a mutual constraint between the rapid reverse intersystem crossing rate and the radiative transition rate of TADF materials. This constraint slows down the exciton dynamics, resulting in a significant efficiency roll-off and poor stability of the device at high brightness. Furthermore, since TADF materials emit light in a charge-transfer state, their emission spectrum is broad and their color purity is low, making it difficult to meet current requirements for ultra-high-definition displays, thus further limiting their development and application. To address these issues, a thermally activated sensitized fluorescence (TRF) mechanism has emerged. This mechanism uses TADF materials as a sensitizer in traditional fluorescent materials. Its main function is to convert its triplet excitons into singlet excitons through a reverse intersystem crossing process, and then... Energy is transferred to fluorescent luminescent materials with high color purity, sensitizing the fluorescent molecules to emit light. By combining the efficient utilization of excitons by TADF materials with the fast radiative transition rate and narrow spectral characteristics of fluorescent materials, this mechanism successfully overcomes the limitations of using TADF materials as luminescent materials.
[0005] However, existing thermally activated sensitized fluorescence (TRF) technologies still face numerous challenges. First, the use of a ternary system (host material, sensitizer material, and luminescent material) as the luminescent layer not only increases material costs but also enhances the complexity of device fabrication, making it difficult to integrate with existing manufacturing processes and thus limiting its commercial viability. Second, current TRF technologies generally employ doping processes, resulting in a large distance between sensitizer and luminescent molecules, and their random arrangement leads to low energy transfer efficiency. This causes some sensitizer molecules to also participate in luminescence, making it difficult for the obtained electroluminescence spectrum to match the emission spectrum of the luminescent molecules, thus limiting the improvement of device color purity. More importantly, excitons not transferred to the luminescent molecules are extremely detrimental to device stability. Furthermore, designing matching deep blue photosensitizer molecules for deep blue luminescent molecules presents significant challenges. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The problem the invention aims to solve
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a class of self-sensitized organic light-emitting materials with a spirocyclic structure and their organic electroluminescent devices. The molecular structure of this material contains both sensitizing units with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TEF) properties and light-emitting units with narrow-band emission, thereby constructing a thermally activated delayed fluorescence material with self-sensitized properties. The spirocyclic structure possesses unique non-planar helical conjugation effects, orthogonal conformations, and steric hindrance effects, which can effectively improve the photoelectric performance and stability of organic semiconductor materials. The spirocyclic structure can act as a rigid bridging group, connecting donor and acceptor groups, enabling the simultaneous achievement of a small ΔE. ST This invention achieves high luminescence efficiency and constructs high-performance thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials. It utilizes a rigid spirocyclic framework as a connecting group to spatially confine the luminescent unit, donor group, and acceptor group into a face-to-face and closely spaced arrangement, ensuring suitable spacing between the luminescent unit and the sensitizing unit. The energy transfer radius and dipole-dipole orientation of the energy transfer enable efficient energy transfer, ultimately achieving narrow-band emission almost identical to the light-emitting unit and a highly efficient and stable electroluminescent device. Secondly, this type of material simplifies the composition of the light-emitting layer in organic electroluminescent devices, reducing material costs and simplifying the fabrication process, thus facilitating commercial applications.

[0125] The effects of the invention
[0126] The organic light-emitting material of the present invention uses a rigid spirocyclic framework as a linking group to spatially confine the light-emitting unit, donor group, and acceptor group into a face-to-face and close arrangement, thereby achieving a suitable relationship between the light-emitting unit and the sensitizing unit. The energy transfer radius and dipole-dipole orientation of the energy transfer are used to achieve efficient energy transfer, ultimately realizing narrow-band emission almost identical to the light-emitting unit and a highly efficient and stable electroluminescent device. The confined donor-acceptor groups form a charge-transfer state in space (i.e., a space charge-transfer state), and the energy difference (ΔE) between its lowest excited singlet state (S1) and lowest excited triplet state (T1) is... ST The voltage will reach a sufficiently small range (<0.1 eV), allowing triplet excitons to cross over to singlet states via reverse intersystem crossing, thus exhibiting excellent thermally activated delayed fluorescence characteristics and becoming sensitizing units. Simultaneously, under the constraint of a rigid spirocyclic framework, there is a suitable [emission / reduction] between the luminescent unit and the sensitizing unit. The energy transfer radius and dipole-dipole orientation of energy transfer enable the energy of the sensitization units in this type of material to be transferred via intramolecular fluorescence resonance energy transfer. This allows for efficient energy transfer (FRET) to the light-emitting unit, ultimately achieving narrow-band emission almost identical to that of the light-emitting unit and a highly efficient and stable electroluminescent device. Secondly, this type of material simplifies the composition of the light-emitting layer in organic electroluminescent devices, reducing material costs and simplifying the fabrication process, thus facilitating commercial applications.

The energy transfer radius and dipole-dipole orientation of the energy transfer are used to achieve efficient energy transfer, ultimately realizing narrow-band emission almost identical to the light-emitting unit and a highly efficient and stable electroluminescent device. The confined donor-acceptor groups form a charge-transfer state in space (i.e., a space charge-transfer state), and the energy difference (ΔE) between its lowest excited singlet state (S1) and lowest excited triplet state (T1) is... ST When the voltage reaches a sufficiently small range (<0.1 eV), the triplet exciton can cross over to the singlet state via reverse RISC, thus exhibiting excellent thermally activated delayed fluorescence characteristics and becoming a TADF sensitizing unit. Simultaneously, under the constraint of a rigid spirocyclic framework, there is a suitable [emission / reduction] relationship between the luminescent unit and the sensitizing unit. The energy transfer radius and dipole-dipole orientation of energy transfer enable the energy of the sensitization units in this type of material to be transferred via intramolecular fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Energy transfer (FRET) is achieved by radiating light (F) onto the light-emitting unit, thereby realizing efficient energy transfer and ultimately achieving narrow-band emission that is almost identical to that of the light-emitting unit, as well as a highly efficient and stable electroluminescent device.
[0147] In this invention, the lowest excited singlet state energy of the donor group and acceptor group (A) as sensitization units is greater than the lowest excited singlet state energy of the luminescent unit (E).
[0148] In this invention, the fluorescence emission spectra of the donor group and acceptor group (A) as sensitization units overlap with the ultraviolet absorption spectra of the luminescent unit (E).

[0168] The electron transport region is located above the light-emitting layer;
[0169] The light-emitting layer comprises the compounds of the present invention.
[0170] Preferably, the luminescent material of the luminescent layer includes the compound of the present invention.
[0171] Preferably, the organic functional material layer further includes at least one of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer.
[0172] Figure 2 This is a simplified structural diagram showing the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention. (See diagram below.) Figure 2 As shown, in the organic electroluminescent device of the present invention, for example, the anode 2, hole injection layer 3, hole transport layer 4, light-emitting layer 5, electron transport layer 6, electron injection layer 7 and cathode 8 are sequentially disposed on the substrate 1.
[0173] The organic electroluminescent device of the present invention is not limited to such a structure. For example, in this multilayer structure, some organic functional material layers may be omitted. For example, the hole injection layer 3 between the anode 2 and the hole transport layer 4, and the electron injection layer 7 between the electron transport layer 6 and the cathode 8 may be omitted, and the anode 2, the hole transport layer 4, the light-emitting layer 5, the electron transport layer 6 and the cathode 8 may be arranged sequentially on the substrate 1.
[0174] The organic electroluminescent device according to the present invention, except that the organic functional material layer comprises a compound represented by formula (G) above, can be manufactured using materials and methods known in the art. Furthermore, in the case where the organic electroluminescent device comprises multiple organic functional material layers, the organic functional material layers can be formed from the same substance or different substances.
[0175] For example, the organic electroluminescent device according to the present invention can be manufactured by sequentially stacking a first electrode, an organic layer, and a second electrode on a substrate. In this case, it can be manufactured as follows: using a PVD (physical vapor deposition) method such as sputtering or electron beam evaporation, a metal or a conductive metal oxide or alloy thereof is deposited on the substrate to form an anode; then, an organic functional material layer comprising a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, and an electron transport layer is formed on the anode; subsequently, a material suitable for use as a cathode is deposited on the organic material layer. However, the manufacturing method is not limited to this.
[0176] As an example, the first electrode described above is the anode and the second electrode is the cathode, or the first electrode described above is the cathode and the second electrode is the anode.
[0177] Preferably, the anode comprises a metal, a metal oxide, or a conductive polymer. For example, the work function of the anode may range from about 3.5 to 5.5 eV. Illustrative examples of conductive materials for the anode include carbon, aluminum, zinc, chromium, copper, zinc, silver, gold, other metals and their alloys; zinc oxide, steel oxide, tin oxide, steel tin oxide (ITO), steel zinc oxide and other similar metal oxides; and mixtures of oxides and metals, such as ZnO:Al and SnO2:Sb.

In this document, transparency means the degree to which light emitted from the organic material layer can pass through, and there are no particular limitations on the transmittance of light.
[0178] For example, when the organic light-emitting device of this specification is a top-emitting type, and the anode is formed on the substrate before the organic material layer and the cathode are formed, not only transparent materials but also non-transparent materials with excellent light reflectivity can be used as anode materials. Alternatively, when the organic light-emitting device of this specification is a bottom-emitting type, and the anode is formed on the substrate before the organic material layer and the cathode are formed, a transparent material is required as the anode material, or the non-transparent material needs to be formed into a thin film that is thin enough to be transparent.
[0179] Preferably, regarding the cathode, a material with a low work function is preferred as the cathode material to facilitate electron injection. For example, in this specification, a material with a work function in the range of 2 eV to 5 eV can be used as the cathode material. The cathode may contain metals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium, steel, silane, lithium, rolled steel, aluminum, silver, tin, and lead or alloys thereof; materials with a multilayer structure, such as LiF / Al or LiO2 / Al, etc., but are not limited thereto.

[0184] Preferably, the organic light-emitting device of the present invention includes an electron injection layer. This electron injection layer is preferably disposed between the cathode and the light-emitting layer. The electron injection layer is formed from an electron injection material known to those skilled in the art. The electron injection layer can be formed using, for example, an electron-accepting organic compound. Here, as the electron-accepting organic compound, any known optional compound can be used without particular limitation. Such organic compounds can be: polycyclic compounds, such as p-terphenyl or tetraphenyl or derivatives thereof; polycyclic hydrocarbon compounds, such as naphthalene, tetraphenyl, perylene, hexabenzobenzene, chlorobenzene, senna, diphenylsenna, or phenanthrene, or derivatives thereof; or heterocyclic compounds, such as phenanthrene-rholine, phenanthridine, or derivatives thereof.

[0186] Preferably, the organic light-emitting device of the present invention further includes a hole-blocking layer. This hole-blocking layer may preferably be placed between the electron transport layer and the light-emitting layer, or between the electron injection layer and the light-emitting layer, or between the cathode and the light-emitting layer. The hole-blocking layer is a layer that prevents injected holes from passing through the light-emitting layer to the cathode, and is typically formed under the same conditions as the hole injection layer. Specific examples include, but are not limited to, oxadiazole derivatives, triazole derivatives, phenanthroline derivatives, BCP, aluminum complexes, etc.
[0187] Preferably, the hole-blocking layer may be the same layer as the electron transport layer. Furthermore, preferably, the organic light-emitting device may also include a substrate.

[0345] The luminescence characteristics of organic EL devices 1-52 fabricated in Examples 5-56 and organic EL comparison devices 1-7 fabricated in Comparative Examples 1-7 were measured under ambient atmospheric conditions when a DC voltage was applied. The measurement results are shown in Table 11. The current-luminosity-voltage characteristics of the devices were measured using a Keithley source measurement system (Keithley 2400 Sourcemeter, Keithley 2000 Currentmeter) with calibrated silicon photodiodes. The electroluminescence spectra were measured using a Photoresearch PR655 spectrometer. The external quantum efficiency of the devices was calculated using the method described in Adv. Mater., 2003, 15, 1043-1048.

[0349] The current-luminosity-voltage characteristics of the device were measured using a Keithley source measurement system (Keithley 2400 Sourcemeter, Keithley 2000 Currentmeter) with a calibrated silicon photodiode. The electroluminescence spectrum was measured using a Photo Research PR655 spectrometer. The external quantum efficiency of the device was calculated using the method described in Adv. Mater. 2003, 15, 1043-1048.
[0350] As shown in Table 11, comparative devices 1 and 3 exhibit narrow-band emission, but have low external quantum efficiency, severe efficiency roll-off, and short operating lifetime. Comparative devices 2 and 4 exhibit high external quantum efficiency, slight efficiency roll-off, and long operating lifetime, but have a wide full width at half maximum (FWHM), which severely affects color purity. Both types of comparative devices have significant shortcomings that directly impact their commercial application. However, devices 1-50 not only exhibit narrow-band emission with emission wavelengths essentially consistent with the emitting unit, but also demonstrate high external quantum efficiency, slight efficiency roll-off, and long operating lifetime, highlighting the rationality of the luminescent material design in this invention and achieving the material design objectives, which is beneficial for its industrial production and application. The luminescent layers of devices 51 and 52 are formed solely by vapor deposition of the luminescent material, and the thickness is reduced to 5 nm, which not only reduces the manufacturing difficulty but also saves materials, while having minimal impact on the device's photoelectric performance. Furthermore, the light-emitting layers of the comparative devices 5 and 6 are formed by ternary co-evaporation of the host material, sensitizer material, and light-emitting material. The preparation process is complex and the cost increases sharply. At the same time, since the sensitizer material and MR light-emitting material are doped in the host material, the energy transfer is insufficient, which inevitably leads to spectral broadening. In addition, the triplet excitons are not fully consumed, which reduces the external quantum efficiency of the device and shortens the device's operating life.
[0351] Comparative Example 7 uses SSBD-21, a self-sensitized narrow-band blue light-emitting material disclosed in CN116675712A, in which the emitting unit and sensitizing unit are fixed at both ends of a helical ring structure. However, the emitting unit and sensitizing unit of SSBD-21 are constrained by the orthogonal conformation of the helical ring structure, resulting in an unfavorable dipole-dipole orientation between them, leading to... The low energy transfer efficiency causes the sensitization unit to also participate in luminescence, making it difficult for the obtained electroluminescence spectrum to match the emission spectrum of the luminescent unit, thus limiting the fabrication of high-color-purity devices. More importantly, excitons that are not transferred to the luminescent molecules are extremely detrimental to the stability of the device, severely shortening its operating life.
[0352] In summary, the material of this invention has excellent photoelectric properties and can be used as a luminescent material for the organic emitting layer of organic electroluminescent devices. It can also simplify the manufacturing process of organic electroluminescent devices and ultimately realize organic light-emitting diode devices with high external quantum efficiency, low efficiency roll-off, long lifetime, and narrow-band emission.
[0353] Experimental Example 1
[0354] Thermogravimetric differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) was performed by a TGA-Q5000IR (TA Instruments, USA) at 10 °C / min under a nitrogen atmosphere. -1 The heating rate was determined. Absolute fluorescence quantum efficiency was measured under a nitrogen atmosphere using a Quantaurus QY measurement system (C11347-11, Hamamatsu Photonics). Specific data for the materials used in the measurement examples, as well as the thermal decomposition temperatures and fluorescence quantum efficiencies of BNN, DM-C, BNO, DM-C, and SSBD, are shown in Table 12.

[0357]
[0358] As shown in Table 12, the self-sensitized thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials of the present invention exhibit a fluorescence quantum efficiency of >90% and excellent thermal stability. In particular, the fluorescence quantum efficiency of the self-sensitized thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials of the present invention (such as BNN-1 and BNO-4) is closer to that of the luminescent units (BNN and BNO), and significantly higher than that of the TADF-sensitized units.
[0359] Experimental Example 2
[0360] The UV absorption spectrum of the self-sensitized thermally activated delayed fluorescence material of the present invention in toluene was tested, wherein... Figure 3 The images show the UV absorption spectra of materials BNO, DM-C, and BNO-4 measured in toluene. Figure 4 This is the ultraviolet absorption spectrum of material BNN-1 measured in toluene.
[0361] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that the ultraviolet absorption spectrum of BNO-4 is basically the same as that of BNO and DM-C. The peak at 450nm to 460nm is slightly red-shifted, which is attributed to the slight influence of the emitting unit on the base, which is consistent with the red shift of the fluorescence spectrum. Figure 4 The self-sensitized thermally activated delayed fluorescent material BNN-1 exhibits obvious absorption peaks of luminescent units.

Figure 6 The fluorescence spectra of materials BNOCz-1, NAJCz-5, BPX-7, and BNO-23 measured in toluene are shown.
[0364] Depend on Figure 5 , 6 It can be seen that the fluorescence spectrum of the thermally activated delayed fluorescence material of the present invention basically reflects the fluorescence of the luminescent unit, and maintains narrow band luminescence in toluene solution.
[0365] Experiment Example 4
[0366] The fluorescence spectra of the self-sensitized thermally activated delayed fluorescent material of the present invention and BNO and DM-C in different solvents (cyclohexane, toluene, chloroform, N,N-dimethylformamide) were tested. Figure 7 The following are fluorescence spectra of material BNO-4 in different solvents. Figure 8 The following are fluorescence spectra of material BNN-1 in different solvents. Figure 9 The following are fluorescence spectra of materials BNO, DM-C, and BNO-4 measured in toluene. Figure 10 The fluorescence spectra of materials BNO, DM-C, and BNO-4 measured in N,N-dimethylformamide are shown.
[0367] Depend on Figure 7 It is known that BNO-4 gradually exhibits fluorescence spectra of the sensitizing unit with increasing solvent polarity. This is attributed to the fact that, with increasing solvent polarity, the energy levels of the lowest excited singlet states of the sensitizing and luminescent units gradually approach each other. Figure 8 It can be seen that the solvation effect of BNN-1 is very weak, which is attributed to the fact that the lowest excitation singlet state of the luminescent unit is always smaller than that of the lowest excitation singlet state of the sensitizing unit.
[0368] Depend on Figure 9 It can be seen that in toluene solution, the fluorescence spectra of BNO-4 and BNO are basically the same, with only a slight red shift. From... Figure 10 It can be seen that in N,N-dimethylformamide solution, the fluorescence spectrum of BNO-4 shows some peaks consistent with the fluorescence spectrum of DM-C, indicating that the energy levels of the lowest excited singlet state of the sensitizing unit and the luminescent unit gradually approach each other, and some peaks of the fluorescence spectrum of BNO-4 show only a slight red shift compared with the fluorescence spectrum of BNO.
[0369] Experimental Example 5
[0370] The transient photoluminescence decay spectra of the self-sensitized thermally activated delayed fluorescent material of the present invention and BNO and BNN in toluene were tested, wherein... Figure 11 The transient photoluminescence decay spectra of materials BNO-4 and BNO in toluene are shown. Figure 12 The transient photoluminescence decay spectra of materials BNN-1 and BNN in toluene are shown.
[0371] Depend on Figure 11 , 12 It can be seen that BNO-4 and BNN-1 exhibit more delayed components than BNO and BNN, respectively, proving that the sensitization unit carried out energy transfer and fully consumed the triplet exciton.
