Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic electroluminescent materials technology, and in particular to a heterogeneous TTA-UC system for single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent devices, a host compound containing a phenanthrene-benzofuran structure, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have become one of the most competitive display and lighting technologies due to their high efficiency, lightweight design, high color saturation, near 180° viewing angle, ultra-fast response speed, and potential for achieving pure black displays. In current mass-produced blue OLED devices, the emitting layer generally employs a host-guest doping system, utilizing a blend of host and guest dopants to achieve electroluminescence. Blue fluorescent devices often use anthracene-based compounds as the host material. However, existing anthracene-based host materials still require improvement in device performance indicators such as efficiency and driving voltage. To overcome the limitations of spin statistics theory and improve the utilization rate of triplet excitons, an effective strategy is to enhance the triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) upconversion efficiency of the material. By introducing additional anthracene fragments into the anthracene host molecule to construct bi-anthracene compounds, an intramolecular TTA pathway can be introduced, thereby improving device performance.
[0003] Nevertheless, the development of bis-anthracene compounds faces significant challenges. Compared to mono-anthracene molecules, bis-anthracene molecules typically have larger intermolecular distances, leading to slower carrier transport and consequently decreased carrier mobility, affecting device efficiency. Therefore, developing bis-anthracene host materials that combine high hole / electron mobility with efficient TTA (transfer-to-charge) properties remains a current research challenge.
[0004] Furthermore, while blue OLED technology based on the TTA mechanism has made significant progress and become the mainstream of current mass production systems, inherent physical bottlenecks still limit further improvements in its efficiency. Specifically, existing TTA emitting layers rely on high triplet exciton density to achieve efficient energy upconversion (TTA-UC). At high exciton densities, although the upconversion efficiency is high, it easily induces non-radiative decay processes such as triplet-polaron annihilation (TPA), leading to a severe roll-off in device efficiency. Conversely, if the exciton concentration is reduced to suppress efficiency roll-off, the TTA upconversion efficiency will drop sharply, also failing to achieve high-performance devices. This contradiction between exciton concentration, upconversion efficiency, and efficiency roll-off limits the performance upper limit of traditional TTA devices. At the same time, ideal TTA materials require strictly matched first singlet level (S1), first triplet level (T1), and second triplet level (T2) to meet the thermodynamic requirements of energy transfer and annihilation. However, for the same compound structure, its molecular skeleton determines the energy level distribution, making it difficult to independently and precisely control the parameters of each energy level without compromising other photoelectric properties. This further increases the difficulty of developing high-performance TTA materials.
[0005] Therefore, if the performance bottlenecks of existing TTA devices (such as low carrier mobility, exciton management contradictions, and difficulty in energy level control) can be overcome by optimizing the energy level arrangement and energy transfer path within the emitting layer, it will have significant practical implications and broad application prospects for promoting the performance improvement of single-emitting-layer OLED devices.

[0072] Preferably, the structure of the single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent device includes an anode, a hole transport region, an emitting layer, an electron transport region, and a cathode sequentially disposed on a substrate; wherein the emitting layer is formed by inkjet printing of the organic light-emitting ink composition.
[0073] More preferably, the hole transport region includes a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer.

[0076] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The heterogeneous TTA-UC system for single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent devices provided by this invention constructs a single-emitting-layer structure comprising a triplet donor, an annihilator, and a doped luminescent material, and precisely defines the energy level matching relationship among the three. This facilitates the migration of triplet excitons to the unexcited triplet annihilator BHA, optimizing the intermolecular triplet energy transfer pathway. This allows triplet excitons generated on the triplet donor BHT to efficiently transfer to the annihilator molecule BHA, subsequently undergoing TTA upconversion within BHA. This overcomes the high energy loss limitation of traditional fluorescent devices, significantly improving the utilization rate of triplet excitons and ultimately achieving a significant improvement in the external quantum efficiency (EQE). Furthermore, by mixing BHT and BHA in the same luminescent layer, this invention maintains high TTA upconversion efficiency while effectively reducing the triplet exciton density on BHT due to the freer migration and transfer of triplet excitons. Thanks to this, energy quenching effects such as triplet-polaron annihilation (TPA) induced by high-concentration excitons and material degradation induced by high-energy excitons are effectively suppressed, and the energy quenching probability can be reduced by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude. This not only alleviates the efficiency roll-off problem of the device under high current density, but also greatly reduces exciton stress damage to the light-emitting layer material, thereby significantly improving the device's operating life.
[0077] The main compound containing the phenanthrenebenzofuran structure provided by this invention, when used as an annihilator in a single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent device, exhibits the following outstanding beneficial effects. (1) The compound uses the phenanthrenebenzofuran structure as a connecting bridge between two anthracene units, forming a stable bi-anthracene structure on the molecular skeleton. This structural feature provides an additional triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) channel (intramolecular TTA) within a single molecule, effectively increasing the upconversion efficiency of triplet excitons, thereby breaking through the limitations of spin statistics in traditional fluorescent devices and significantly improving the utilization rate of triplet excitons. (2) This invention innovatively introduces the oxygen-containing fused heterocyclic structure of phenanthrenebenzofuran as a connecting group. On the one hand, the strong electronegativity of oxygen atoms endows the molecule with a certain electron affinity potential, optimizing the LUMO+n energy level distribution of the material; on the other hand, the rigid planar oxygen heterocyclic structure enhances the π-π stacking ability between molecules, effectively reducing the intermolecular distance. The synergistic effect of the two significantly improves the electron mobility of the material, solving the problem of slow carrier transport caused by the large intermolecular distance in traditional bis-anthracene compounds, thereby further improving the luminescence efficiency of the device. (3) The bis-anthracene compound containing phenanthrenebenzofuran, as an annihilator, can well meet the strict requirements of the heterogeneous TTA-UC system for energy level matching in its S1 and T1 energy levels. Combined with the aforementioned advantages in electron transport, this material achieves efficient intramolecular TTA while ensuring efficient transport of carriers and energy, ultimately improving both device efficiency and lifetime.

Example 1 This embodiment provides an organic light-emitting ink composition (hereinafter referred to as the ink composition), denoted as INK01, which includes a triplet donor (BHT01), an annihilator (BHA01), a doped light-emitting material (BD01), and a non-halogenated aromatic solvent (ethyl benzoate and dodecylbenzene).
[0107] The preparation method of the above-mentioned organic light-emitting ink composition includes the following steps: Anhydrous and oxygen-free ethyl benzoate (11.20 g) and dodecylbenzene (4.80 g) were weighed separately in a mass ratio of 7:3. The cleaned and dried stir bar and vial were transferred to a glove box, and the two solvents were mixed until homogeneous. In the glove box, 0.03 g of triplet donor BHT01, 0.22 g of annihilator BHA01, and 0.01 g of doped luminescent material BD01 were weighed and transferred to a vial containing the mixed solvent, and stirred. The resulting mixture was stirred at 80°C until the organic functional material was completely dissolved. The heating was then removed, and the mixture was slowly cooled to room temperature and filtered through a 0.2 μm PTFE membrane to obtain the organic luminescent ink composition. 3 mL of the organic luminescent ink composition was used for performance testing, and the remainder was packaged and stored.
[0108] Examples 2-21 Examples 2-21 provide organic luminescent ink compositions, respectively designated INK02-INK21. The components of the heterogeneous TTA-UC system in their raw material composition are shown in Table 1. The component ratios and the selection of non-halogenated aromatic solvents are the same as in Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

The components of the heterogeneous TTA-UC system in their raw material compositions are shown in Table 1. The component ratios and the selection of non-halogenated aromatic solvents are the same as in Example 1 and will not be repeated. Note: The amount of annihilator in Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 5 is 0.25 g, and the amount of triplet donor in Comparative Examples 3 and 4 is 0.25 g.
[0111] The preparation method of the above organic light-emitting ink composition is similar to that of Example 1, and will not be repeated here.
[0112] The triplet, singlet, and quintet energy levels of the triplet donors BHT01~BHT03, annihilators BHA01~BHA16, doped luminescent materials BD01~BD02, and contrast annihilators DBHA01~DBHA03 were tested, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0113] Triplet level (T1) measurement: A Hitachi F4600 fluorescence spectrometer was used at 77 K with a 2×10⁻⁶ Ω·cm fluorescence spectrometer. -5 The test was conducted using a mol / L toluene solution, and the measured low-temperature PL wavelength was converted into triplet energy E. T1 =1240 / λ PL E T1 λ represents the triplet energy of a material. PL This indicates the emission wavelength of the low-temperature PL.
[0114] Singlet level (S1) test: Similar to the triplet state, the PL wavelength measured at room temperature is converted into singlet energy using the same formula.
[0115] The quintet energy level (Q1): Using ORCA 6.0.1 software, based on the density functional theory (DFT) calculation method (basis set level set: b3lyp-d3 / 6-31G(d), charge number is 0), the ground state structure of the molecule is geometrically optimized and vibrationally analyzed (Opt+freq) to obtain the quintet energy of the material.
[0116] Table 1. Triplet, Singlet, and Quintet Energy Levels of Each Compound in the Organic Light-Emitting Ink Composition Application Example 1 This application example provides a single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent device, the structure of which includes an anode ITO, a hole injection layer PEDOT:PSS, a hole transport layer PVK, an emissive layer EML, an electron transport layer TPBi, an electron injection layer Liq, and a cathode Al, sequentially disposed on a substrate. PEDOT:PSS is an aqueous conductive polymer composite material composed of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and polystyrene sulfonate (PSS).
[0117] The fabrication method of the above-mentioned single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent device specifically includes the following steps: Step 1: Load the organic light-emitting ink composition INK01 from Example 1 into an ink container and assemble it into an inkjet printer, such as a Dimatix Materials Printer DMP-3000 (Fujifilm). Adjust the waveform, pulse time, and voltage of the ejected ink to optimize ink ejection and achieve a stable ink ejection range.
[0118] Step 2: Pattern the cleaned 50mm×50mm indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate to form a pixel defining layer, which contains holes for depositing inkjet printing material.
[0119] Step 3: The hole injection layer (HIL) and hole transport layer (HTL) materials are sequentially inkjet printed into the holes, and the solvent is removed by vacuum drying to obtain HIL / HTL films. The HIL film (30nm thick) is composed of PEDOT:PSS, and the HTL film (45nm thick) is composed of PVK.
[0120] Step 4: The organic light-emitting ink composition INK01 is printed onto the HIL / HTL film by inkjet printing, and the solvent is removed by high-temperature drying in a vacuum environment to obtain an organic light-emitting film (EML) (45nm thick).
[0121] Step 5: Electron transport layer (ETL) (30nm thick), electron injection layer (EIL) (1nm thick), and cathode (120nm thick) are sequentially formed on EML by vacuum thermal evaporation of TPBi, Liq, and aluminum (Al). Finally, the device is encapsulated to obtain a single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent device.
[0122] In a single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent device, the molecular structural formulas of each layer material (all of which are commercially available) are as follows: Application Examples 2-21 Application Examples 2-21 each provide a single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent device, whose structure and preparation method are similar to those of Application Example 1, except that the organic light-emitting ink composition INK01 is replaced with organic light-emitting ink compositions INK02-INK21. All other parameters and conditions are the same as in Application Example 1 and will not be repeated here.
[0123] Compare and contrast examples 1-10 Comparative Application Examples 1-10 each provide a single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent device, whose structure and preparation method are similar to those of Application Example 1, except that the organic light-emitting ink composition INK01 is replaced with organic light-emitting ink compositions DINK01-DINK10. All other parameters and conditions are the same as in Application Example 1 and will not be repeated here.
[0124] Verification test The performance parameters of the single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent devices (blue OLED devices) in Application Examples 1-21 and Comparative Application Examples 1-10 were tested using the reference standard method, and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0125] At J = 10 mA / cm 2 The driving voltage (Vop), luminance, and external quantum efficiency (EQE, measured as a percentage) of a single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent device are determined at a given current density. EQE is calculated as a function of luminous density from the current / voltage / luminous density characteristic line (IVL characteristic line) exhibiting Lambertian emission characteristics.
[0126] The lifetime LT is defined as the time after which the brightness decreases from the initial luminous intensity L0 to L1 when operating at a constant current density J. For example, LT95 refers to the lifetime of the fabricated blue OLED device at J = 20 mA / cm². 2 When operating, the luminous intensity drops to 95% of its initial value L0 after time LT95.
[0127] The testing instruments used for performance testing are as follows: Brightness: Tested using a PhotoResearch PR-655 spectral scanner.
[0128] Electroluminescence current efficiency (cd / A) was measured using a PhotoResearch PR-635 spectral scanner.
[0129] Current density and turn-on voltage: tested using a Keithley 2400 digital source meter.
[0130] Lifetime testing: Using a silicon photonics-based OLED device lifetime testing system.
[0131] Table 2 Performance test results of single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent devices As can be seen from the table above, the single-emitting-layer organic electroluminescent device based on the heterogeneous TTA-UC system provided by this invention has significant advantages in terms of luminous efficiency and lifetime.
[0132] Application Examples 3-12 and Application Examples 19-21 used the host compound containing the phenanthrene-benzofuran structure provided by the present invention, which has a more balanced carrier transport. Therefore, compared with Application Examples 1-2 and Application Examples 13-18, the efficiency is more significantly improved and the lifetime is also slightly improved.
[0133] Comparative Application Examples 1-2 and 5 did not include a triplet donor, but only used an annihilation agent. Furthermore, Comparative Application Examples 1-2 were not the preferred host compound structures of this invention, and their luminescence efficiency and lifetime were both at a low level. Comparative Application Examples 3-4 did not include an annihilation agent, but only used a triplet donor as the host material of the luminescent layer, and it can be seen that their luminescence efficiency and lifetime performance were the worst.
[0134] Compared with the application examples 6-10, where the luminescent layer contains both a triplet host and an annihilation agent, but the annihilation agent is not a polyanthracene compound preferred by the present invention, it can be seen that the lifetime is not significantly improved, while the efficiency is slightly improved, but it is significantly less effective than the polyanthracene compounds provided in application examples 1-21.
[0135] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
