Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an organic compound and an organic light-emitting device containing the same. Background Technology
[0002] Compared with other flat panel display devices such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma display panels (PDPs), and field emission displays (FEDs), organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have many advantages in terms of simple structure and manufacturing process. They also have high brightness and excellent viewing angle characteristics, as well as fast response speed and low driving voltage. Therefore, they are being actively developed and commercialized as light sources for flat panel displays such as wall-mounted TVs (TVs) or for backlighting, illumination, and advertising boards.
[0003] Organic light-emitting devices consist of an organic layer between two electrodes. They are devices that utilize the principle that electrons and holes are injected into the light-emitting layer from the two electrodes respectively. When electrons and holes combine, they generate excitons. When the generated excitons descend from the excited state to the ground state, they emit light.
[0004] Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) may include at least one light-emitting layer. Typically, OLEDs with multiple light-emitting layers include light-emitting layers that emit light with different peak wavelengths, and a specific color is achieved by combining light with different peak wavelengths.
[0005] Such organic light-emitting devices can be divided into top-emitting devices and bottom-emitting devices. Top-emitting devices use a reflective cathode to emit light emitted from the light-emitting layer towards the translucent anode side. Conversely, bottom-emitting devices use a reflective anode to emit light emitted from the light-emitting layer and reflected by the anode towards the transparent cathode side, which is the direction in which the thin-film transistor is driven.
[0006] On the other hand, the biggest problems in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are lifespan and efficiency. As displays become increasingly larger, these efficiency and lifespan issues must be addressed. In OLEDs, the characteristics of the components contained in each layer of the organic film, which consists of one or more layers including the light-emitting layer, located between the anode and cathode, affect the device's driving voltage, luminous efficiency, and brightness. Therefore, these characteristics affect the device's lifespan.
[0007] Therefore, research is actively underway on the components contained in each layer of the organic film. Summary of the Invention

[0324] Experiment Example 1: Simulation Results
[0325] Experimental Example 1: Simulation Results of Electron Transport Auxiliary Layer
[0326] The electron transport auxiliary layer serves to reduce hole leakage at the interface of the light-emitting layer due to the LUMO energy level difference between the electron transport layer and the light-emitting layer. Therefore, it is preferable that the LUMO energy level difference with the light-emitting layer is greater than the LUMO energy level difference with the electron transport layer.
[0327] Table 27
[0328]
[0329] Experimental Example 2: Simulation Results of Electron Transport Layer
[0330] The electron transport layer has a suitable LUMO energy level between the electron transport auxiliary layer and the electron injection layer, or between the light-emitting layer (in the absence of an electron transport auxiliary layer) and the electron injection layer, thereby playing the role of transferring electrons to the electron transport auxiliary layer or the light-emitting layer (in the absence of an electron transport auxiliary layer). For this purpose, it is preferable that the LUMO energy level difference with the electron transport auxiliary layer or the light-emitting layer (in the absence of an electron transport auxiliary layer) is smaller than the LUMO energy level difference with the electron injection layer.

[0333] Experimental Example 3: Experimental Results of Electron Transport Auxiliary Layer Device
[0334] A substrate with ITO (100nm) layered on top as the anode of an organic electroluminescent device is divided into a cathode region, an anode region, and an insulating layer by a photolithography process and patterned. Then, in order to improve the work function of the anode (ITO) and to clean it, the surface is treated with ultraviolet (UV)-ozone and O2:N2 plasma.
[0335] Then, 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN) is deposited on the anode to form a 10 nm thick hole injection layer (HIL).
[0336] Next, a 90 nm thick hole transport layer is formed by vacuum deposition of N4,N4,N4',N4'-tetra([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine (N4,N4,N4',N4'-Tetra([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine) on top of the hole injection layer. A 15 nm thick electron blocking layer (EBL) is formed by accumulating N-phenyl-N-(4-(spiro[benzo[d,e]anthracene-7,9'-fluorene]-2'-yl)phenyl)dibenzo[b,d]furan-4-amine.
[0337] A 25 nm thick layer of 9,10-bis(2-naphthyl)anthracene (ADN) was deposited on top of the electron blocking layer (EBL) as the host, and about 3 wt% of 2,12-di-tert-butyl-5,9-bis(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-7-(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-5,9-dihydro-5,9-diaza-13b-boranaphtho[3,2,1-de]anthracene (t-DABNA-dtB) was used as a dopant. As shown in Table 29 below, the compounds of the present invention are vacuum deposited to form an electron transport auxiliary layer with a thickness of 5 nm for the light-emitting layer. A mixture of 2-(4-(9,10-di(naphthalene-2-yl)anthracene-2-yl)phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (2-(4-(9,10-Di(naphthalene-2-yl)anthracene-2-yl)phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole and Liq in a 1:1 weight ratio is deposited on the electron transport auxiliary layer as an electron transport layer. A 1 nm thick layer of Liq is deposited on the electron transport layer as an electron injection layer, and a 100 nm thick layer of aluminum is deposited as a cathode. A 60 nm thick layer of N4,N4'-bis[4-[bis(3-methylphenyl)amino]phenyl]-N4,N4'-diphenyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine (DNTPD) was deposited on the cathode as a capping layer.
[0338] Next, a seal cap is bonded to the cover layer (CPL) using an ultraviolet (UV) curable adhesive, which protects the organic light-emitting device from atmospheric oxygen (O2) or moisture, thereby fabricating the organic light-emitting device.
[0339] Except for using the compounds in Table 29 and the comparative compounds 1 and 2 below instead of the compounds in Example 1 below as electron transport auxiliary layers, Examples 2 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1.
[0340]
[0341] For the organic light-emitting devices of Examples 2 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, a CS-2000 from Konica Minolta was used to apply 10 mA / cm². 2 The driving voltage (Op V) and efficiency (Cd / A) were measured using the current, and McScience's M6000 was used at 10 mA / cm². 2 The constant current drive confirmed the method of determining lifetime (LT95) by reducing the brightness time from the initial brightness to 95% level.
[0342] The measurement results are shown in Table 29 below.
[0343] Table 29
[0344]
[0345] Referring to Table 29, the compound of the present invention is a blue OLED device material, which can be confirmed to have high efficiency and long lifespan.
[0346] In the case of the comparative compound, it was confirmed that the device efficiency and lifetime were significantly reduced.
[0347] Experiment Example 4: Experimental Results of Electron Transport Layer Devices
[0348] A substrate with ITO (100nm) layered on top as the anode of an organic electroluminescent device is divided into a cathode region, an anode region, and an insulating layer by a photolithography process and patterned. Then, in order to improve the work function of the anode (ITO) and to clean it, the surface is treated with ultraviolet (UV)-ozone and O2:N2 plasma.
[0349] Then, 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN) is deposited on the anode to form a 10 nm hole injection layer (HIL).
[0350] Next, a 90 nm thick hole transport layer is formed by vacuum deposition of N4,N4,N4',N4'-tetra([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine (N4,N4,N4',N4'-Tetra([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine) on top of the hole injection layer. N-Phenyl-N-(4-(spiro[benzo[d,e]anthracene-7,9'-fluorene]-2'-yl)phenyl)dibenzo[b,d]furan-4-amine is used to form a 15 nm thick electron blocking layer (EBL).
[0351] A 25 nm thick layer of 9,10-bis(2-naphthyl)anthracene (ADN) was deposited on top of the electron blocking layer (EBL) as the host, and about 3 wt% of 2,12-di-tert-butyl-5,9-bis(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-7-(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-5,9-dihydro-5,9-diaza-13b-boranaphtho[3,2,1-de]anthracene (t-DABNA-dtB) was used as a dopant. Vacuum deposition of 2-[3'-(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl]-4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine (2-[3'-(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl]-4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine) was used to form a 5 nm thick electron transport auxiliary layer for the light-emitting layer. A 25 nm thick compound from Table 30 below was deposited on the electron transport auxiliary layer as an electron transport layer (ETL). A 1 nm thick LiQ layer was deposited on the electron transport auxiliary layer as an electron injection layer. A 100 nm thick aluminum layer was deposited as a cathode. A 60 nm thick layer of N4,N4'-bis[4-[bis(3-methylphenyl)amino]phenyl]-N4,N4'-diphenyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine (DNTPD) was deposited on the cathode as a capping layer.
[0352] Next, a seal cap is bonded to the cover layer (CPL) using an ultraviolet (UV) curable adhesive, which protects the organic light-emitting device from atmospheric oxygen (O2) or moisture, thereby fabricating the organic light-emitting device.
[0353] Except for using the compounds in Table 30 and the comparative compounds 3 and 4 below instead of the compounds in Example 11 below as electron transport auxiliary layers, Examples 11 to 112 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4 were prepared in the same manner as in Example 30.
