Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to organic electronic devices comprising compounds of formula (I) and formula (III), and display devices comprising organic electronic devices. Background Technology

[0002] Organic electronic devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), are self-emissive, exhibiting wide viewing angles, excellent contrast ratios, rapid response times, high brightness, superior operating voltage characteristics, and excellent color reproduction. A typical OLED comprises an anode, a hole transport layer (HTL), an emissive layer (EML), an electron transport layer (ETL), and a cathode, which are sequentially stacked on a substrate. In this regard, the HTL, EML, and ETL are thin films formed from organic compounds.

[0003] When a voltage is applied to the anode and cathode, holes injected from the anode move to the EML via the HTL, while electrons injected from the cathode move to the EML via the ETL. Holes and electrons recombine in the EML to generate excitons. When the excitons transition from the excited state to the ground state, they emit light. The injection and flow of holes and electrons should be balanced to ensure that OLEDs with this structure exhibit excellent efficiency and / or long lifetime.

[0004] The performance of organic light-emitting diodes can be affected by the characteristics of the semiconductor layer, which in turn can be affected by the characteristics of the compounds contained in the semiconductor layer.

[0005] Further improvements are needed in the performance of organic electronic devices, particularly in achieving improved operating voltage, improved stability of operating voltage over time, and improved current efficiency. Furthermore, improvements are still needed in reducing electrical crosstalk between adjacent pixels in active-matrix OLED displays. Summary of the Invention

When forming HTLs via vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition and coating conditions can be similar to those for forming HILs or CGLs. However, the conditions for vacuum or solution deposition can vary depending on the compound used to form the HTL.

[0240] HTLs can be formed from any compound commonly used to form HTLs. For example, compounds suitable for use are disclosed in Yasuhiko Shirota and Hiroshi Kageyama, Chem. Rev. 2007, 107, 953-1010, which are incorporated herein by reference. Examples of compounds that can be used to form HTLs include: carbazole derivatives such as N-phenylcarbazole or polyvinylcarbazole; benzidine derivatives such as N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-[1,1-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine (TPD) or N,N'-di(naphthyl-1-yl)-N,N'-diphenylbenzidine (α-NPD); and triphenylamine compounds such as 4,4',4''-tris(N-carbazolyl)triphenylamine (TCTA). In these compounds, TCTA is capable of transporting holes and inhibiting exciton diffusion into the EML.

[0248] When the thickness of the HTL is within this range, the HTL can have excellent hole transport characteristics without substantially damaging the driving voltage.

[0249] Electron blocking layer

[0250] The function of the electron blocking layer (EBL) is to prevent electrons from transferring from the emissive layer to the hole transport layer, thereby confining electrons within the emissive layer. This improves efficiency, operating voltage, and / or lifetime. Typically, the electron blocking layer contains a triarylamine compound. The LUMO level of the triarylamine compound can be closer to the vacuum level than the LUMO level of the hole transport layer. Compared to the HOMO level of the hole transport layer, the electron blocking layer can have a HOMO level further away from the vacuum level. The thickness of the electron blocking layer can be selected between 2 nm and 20 nm.

[0251] If the electron blocking layer has a high triplet energy level, it can also be described as a triplet control layer.

[0252] If a phosphorescent green or blue emitting layer is used, the function of the triplet control layer is to reduce triplet quenching. This allows for higher luminous efficiency of the phosphorescent emitting layer. The triplet control layer is selected from triarylamine compounds whose triplet energy level is higher than that of the phosphorescent emitter in the adjacent emitting layer. Suitable compounds, particularly triarylamine compounds, for triplet control layers are described in EP 2 722 908 A1.

[0338] Option 1: A method for preparing compounds of formula (III)

[0339] Starting material E is transformed into intermediate A

[0340] The conversion of diketones to dihalides was achieved using the scheme published by Bucsis and Friedrichs in Chem. Ber. 1976, 109, 2462–2468.

[0341] Intermediate B (conditions a / b)

[0342] In a three-necked round flask equipped with a reflux condenser, dropping funnel, and septum, 2.4 equivalents of sodium hydride were suspended in dry DMF under an inert atmosphere and cooled to below 10°C using an ice bath. After adding a solution of 2.3 equivalents of XH2 dropwise to anhydrous DMF (condition b: anhydrous DME), the mixture was stirred at 0°C to 10°C for 15 minutes. Then, 1 equivalent of compound A (starting material or intermediate) was added in a single addition (condition b: followed by 0.05 equivalents of catalyst), and the mixture was stirred at 0°C for 15 minutes, then at room temperature for 15 minutes, and finally at 80°C (under reflux for condition b) overnight. If the reaction was not complete by the next morning, the reaction mixture was added dropwise to a suspension of compound B deprotonated with a slight excess of sodium hydride (0.6 equivalents to 2.1 equivalents, respectively), and stirred at 80°C for an additional 24 hours. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was poured onto an ice / water mixture and acidified with hydrochloric acid. The aqueous phase was extracted twice with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was washed three times with semi-concentrated brine, then washed again with concentrated brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. After removing the solvent, the product was stirred overnight in DCM at room temperature, filtered, and redissolved in a small amount of ethyl acetate. The concentrated solution was then added dropwise to an 8-fold excess of dichloromethane. The precipitate was filtered, washed twice with dichloromethane, and dried.

[0343] Intermediate C

[0344] In a three-necked round flask equipped with a reflux condenser, dropping funnel, and septum, 1.2 to 1.6 equivalents of sodium hydride were suspended in dry DME under an inert atmosphere and cooled to below 10°C using an ice bath. After adding 1.1 to 1.5 equivalents of a solution of XH2 dropwise to the dry DME, the mixture was stirred at 0 to 10°C for 15 minutes. Then, 1 equivalent of compound A (starting material or intermediate) as a solid was added in a single batch, and the mixture was stirred at 0°C for 15 minutes and then stirred overnight at room temperature. If the reaction was found to be incomplete the next morning, the reaction mixture was added dropwise to an additional 0.5 to 1 equivalent of a suspension of XH2 deprotonated with a slight excess of sodium hydride (0.6 to 1.1 equivalents, respectively), and stirred at room temperature for another 24 hours. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was poured onto an ice / water mixture and acidified with hydrochloric acid. The aqueous phase was extracted twice with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was washed three times with semi-concentrated brine, then washed again with concentrated brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. After removing the solvent, the product was stirred overnight in toluene at room temperature, filtered, washed several times with toluene, and dried.

[0345] Intermediate D

[0346] In a three-necked round flask equipped with a reflux condenser, dropping funnel, and septum, 1.5 equivalents of sodium hydride were suspended in dry DMF under an inert atmosphere and cooled to below 10°C using an ice bath. After adding 1.4 equivalents of a solution of XH2 dropwise to anhydrous DMF, the mixture was stirred at 0°C to 10°C for 15 minutes. Then, 1 equivalent of intermediate C as a solid was added in a single addition, and the mixture was stirred at 0°C for 15 minutes, then at room temperature for 15 minutes, and finally at 80°C overnight. If the reaction was not complete by the next morning, the reaction mixture was added dropwise to an additional 0.5 to 1.5 equivalents of a suspension of compound XH2 deprotonated with a slight excess of sodium hydride (0.6 to 1.6 equivalents, respectively), and stirred at 80°C for an additional 24 hours. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was poured onto an ice / water mixture and acidified with hydrochloric acid. The aqueous phase was extracted twice with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was washed three times with semi-concentrated brine, then washed again with concentrated brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. After removing the solvent, the product was stirred overnight in DCM at room temperature, filtered, and redissolved in a small amount of ethyl acetate. The concentrated solution was then added dropwise to an 8-fold excess of dichloromethane. The precipitate was filtered, washed twice with dichloromethane, and dried.

[0347] Compound (II) derived from intermediate B / D

[0348] Prior to oxidation, intermediates B / D were converted to potassium salts by suspension in a potassium carbonate solution. The salts were then extracted with ethyl acetate, and the solution was concentrated under vacuum. The potassium salt was precipitated by dropwise addition of the concentrate to excess n-hexane and filtered off. After drying under vacuum for two hours, the potassium salts were suspended in dry DCM under an inert atmosphere, and 1.1 equivalents of PIFA were added in a single addition. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature in the dark. The product was filtered off, washed three times with DCM, and purified by stirring in 50% acetic acid followed by stirring in hot chloroform. The mother liquor was removed by filtration and washed with chloroform. The product can be further purified by methods known in the art, such as those in US 2005121667 A1.

[0349] Compound (III) derived from starting material E

[0350] The conversion of diketones to quinone dimethylamine was achieved using Lehnerts' reagent as described in J. Org. Chem. 1995, 60, 13, 4077–4084. The synthesis of N,N-dicyanoquinone diimine was carried out using bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimine following the scheme of Hünigs and Aumüllers (Liebigs Annalen der Chemie 1986 (1), 142–164).

[0351] Calculation of HOMO and LUMO using Equation (III)

[0352] HOMO and LUMO were calculated using the package TURBOMOLE V6.5 (TURBOMOLE GmbH, Litzenhardtstrasse 19, 76135 Karlsruhe, Germany). The calculations were performed by applying hybrid functionals B3LYP and 6-31G in the gas phase. The basis set determines the optimal geometry of the molecular structure, as well as the HOMO and LUMO energy levels. If more than one conformation is feasible, the conformation with the lowest total energy is selected.

[0353] LUMO calculations for compounds of formula (I) and comparative compounds

[0354] The energies of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs) of compounds and comparative compounds of Equation (I) were calculated using the packages ORCA V5.0.3 (Max Planck Institute for Kohlenforschung, Kaiser Wilhelm Platz 1, 45470, Muelheim / Ruhr, Germany) and WEASEL 1.9.2 (FAccTs GmbH, Rolandstrasse 67, 50677 Köln, Germany). The LUMO levels of the molecular structures were determined by applying the hybrid functionals B3LYP and Def2-TZVP basis sets and the Stuttgart / Dresden (SDD) effective nuclear potential (ECP) for metals to the optimized geometries obtained by applying the effective nuclear potential (ECP) for metals to the Stuttgart / Dresden (SDD) basis sets. For materials containing Ce(IV) cations, the LUMO levels of the molecular structure were determined by applying the hybrid functional B3LYP and the SARC-ZORA-TZVP basis set for the metal and the ZORA-Def2-TZVP basis set for all other atoms, based on optimized geometries obtained by applying the functional BP86 and the SARC-ZORA-TZVP basis set for the metal and the ZORA-Def2-TZVP basis set for all other atoms. All calculations were performed in the gas phase. All relativistic calculations were performed by applying the zero-order rule approximation (ZORA). If more than one conformation was feasible, the conformation with the lowest total energy was selected. Different multistates may be applied depending on the metal cation. For the following metal cations, the multistates are shown in parentheses: Cu 2+ (Dual state), Cr 3+ (Quadtet), Mn 2+ (sixtet state), Mn 3+ (pentet state), Fe 3+ (six-fold state), Co3+ (quintet state), Al 3+ (singlet state), In 3+ (singlet state), Ru 3+ (six-fold state), Ce 4+ (Singlet state). Unless otherwise noted, the LUMO values ​​in Tables 1 and 2 are calculated using this method.

[0355] According to one embodiment of the compound of formula (I), the LUMO of the compound of formula (I) is selected in the range of ≤-3.4 eV but ≥-6.5 eV, preferably ≤-3.45 eV but ≥-6 eV, more preferably ≤-3.5 eV but ≥-5.8 eV; wherein the LUMO is calculated by the method described above.

[0365] Then, a second hole transport layer with a thickness of 43 nm was formed on the first p-type CGL by depositing N-(9,9-diphenyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)-N,9-diphenyl-9H-carbazole-2-amine (N-5, see Table 1).

[0366] Then, a second electron blocking layer with a thickness of 5 nm is formed on the second hole transport layer by depositing N,N-bis([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-3'-(9H-carbazole-9-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-amine (N-2).

[0367] Then, a second luminescent layer (EML2) with a thickness of 19 nm was formed on EBL1 by co-depositing 99 vol% of dibenzofuran, 7-(phenyl-2,3,4,5,6-d)-1-[10-(phenyl-2,3,4,5,6-d)-9-anthrayl] [2457172-82-4] as the EML host and 1 vol% of 5H,9H-[1]benzothiopheno[2′,3′:5,6][1,4]azaboroxane[2,3,4-kl]azaboroxane, 2,7,11-tris(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5,9-bis[4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenyl] [2482607-57-6].

[0368] Then, a first hole-blocking layer (HBL1) with a thickness of 5 nm was formed on EML2 by depositing the compound 4-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-6-(3'-(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluorene-4-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-2-phenylpyrimidine (N-6).

[0369] Then, a second electron transport layer (ETL2) with a thickness of 31 nm was formed on HBL1 by co-deposition of compound 6,6'-(naphthalene-1,2-dimethylbis(4,1-phenylene))bis(2,4-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine) (N-7, see Table 1) and LiQ (N-8) in a 50:50 wt% ratio.

[0370] Then, in 10 -7 Yb was evaporated at a rate of 0.01 Å / s to 1 Å / s under millibars to form an electron injection layer (EIL) with a thickness of 1.3 nm on the electron transport layer.

[0371] In 10 -7 Ag / Mg (10 vol% Mg) was evaporated at a rate of 0.01 Å / s to 1 Å / s under millibars to form a cathode with a thickness of 13 nm.

[0372] Then, N-({[1,1-'biphenyl]-4-yl)-9,9,dimethyl-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazole-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluorene-2-amine} (N-1) was vacuum deposited on the cathode layer to form a capping layer with a thickness of 75 nm.

[0373] To evaluate the performance of the invention compared to existing technologies, current efficiency was measured at 20°C. Using a Keithley 2635 source measurement unit, the current-voltage characteristics were determined by applying a voltage in V and measuring the current flowing through the device under test in mA. The voltage applied to the device varied in 0.1 V increments within the range of 0 V to 10 V. Similarly, the luminance-voltage characteristics and CIE coordinates were measured in cd / m² at various voltage values ​​using an Instrument Systems CAS-140CT array spectrometer (calibrated by Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle (DAkkS)). 2 The brightness was determined by interpolating the brightness-voltage and current-voltage characteristics, respectively, to determine 15 mA / cm². 2 The CD / A efficiency under these conditions.

[0374] In bottom-emitting devices, emission is primarily Lambertian and quantized as a percentage of external quantum efficiency (EQE). To determine the efficiency EQE as a percentage, a calibrated photodiode at 15 mA / cm² was used. 2 The light output of the measuring device.

[0375] In top-emitting devices, emission is forward-oriented, non-Lambertian, and highly dependent on the microcavity. Therefore, the efficiency EQE will be higher compared to bottom-emitting devices. To determine the efficiency EQE as a percentage, a calibrated photodiode at 15 mA / cm² was used. 2 The light output of the measuring device.

[0376] Under ambient conditions (20℃) and 10 mA / cm 2 or 30 mA / cm 2 Below, a Keithley 2400 source meter was used to measure the device lifetime LT and recorded in hours.

[0377] The brightness of the device is measured using a calibrated photodiode. Lifetime LT is defined as the time until the brightness of the device drops to 97% of its initial value.

[0378] The increment ΔU of the operating voltage is used as a measure of the device's operating voltage stability. This increment is determined during LT measurements by subtracting the operating voltage one hour after the device starts operating from the operating voltage after 100 hours.

[0379] ΔU=[U(100 h)- U(1 h)].

[0380] The smaller the ΔU value, the better the stability of the operating voltage.
