Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly to an organic compound, mixture, composition, organic light-emitting device, and display apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] Organic electroluminescence (OEL) technology utilizes the photoelectric properties of organic materials to directly convert electrical energy into light energy. OEL-based devices typically consist of an anode, a cathode, and multiple layers of organic functional layers. These layers include hole injection layers, hole transport layers, auxiliary functional layers, light-emitting layers, electron transport layers, and electron injection layers, each containing specific organic materials designed to enhance the overall performance of the device. When a voltage is applied between the electrodes, holes are injected into the anode, and electrons are injected into the cathode. These combine to form excitons, which release light energy as they return to their ground state. As a typical representative of OEL technology, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have achieved remarkable success in flat panel displays and lighting due to their self-emissive nature, high brightness, high efficiency, low voltage, wide viewing angle, and high contrast. Their wide viewing angle, fast response, low voltage requirements, and ultra-thin design fully demonstrate the enormous potential and broad application prospects of OLED technology in the future.
[0003] The selection and design of materials for the auxiliary functional layer play a crucial role in improving the luminous efficiency and extending the lifespan of OLED devices. Carefully designed auxiliary materials can effectively balance carrier transport in OLED devices, strongly suppress electron back migration, and promote electron-hole recombination primarily in the central region of the emissive layer, reducing non-radiative exciton recombination, thereby improving luminous efficiency and extending lifespan. Therefore, developing more efficient novel auxiliary materials to further optimize the balance of hole and electron transport within the device is a pressing issue for those skilled in the art, aimed at improving device efficiency and lifespan while maintaining a low driving voltage.

The organic compound of this application is an aromatic amine compound constructed with benzo[a]carbazole and dibenzo[a]furan as its core components. Benzo[a]carbazole extends the conjugated plane through fused aromatic rings, exhibiting stronger molecular rigidity compared to ordinary carbazole.

[0125] II. Fabrication and Characterization of OLED Organic Light-Emitting Devices The following specific embodiments illustrate in detail the fabrication method and process of OLED organic light-emitting devices using the organic compounds of this application. In the following method for fabricating OLED organic light-emitting devices, ITO conductive glass is used as the anode substrate (including the substrate and the anode), PD is used as the hole injection material, HT is used as the hole transport material, BH is used as the host material of the light-emitting layer, BD is used as the guest material of the light-emitting layer, ET and Liq are used as electron transport materials, Liq is used as the electron injection material, and Al is used as the cathode material. Furthermore, compounds M1~M17 from the aforementioned synthesis examples and compounds Ref-01~Ref-02 from the comparative examples are used as auxiliary hole transport materials to prepare corresponding OLED organic light-emitting devices. The chemical structural formulas of PD, HT, BH, BD, ET, and Liq are shown below:
[0126] In this embodiment, the structure of the prepared OLED organic light-emitting device is: ITO / PD:HT (3:97, 10 nm) / HT (130 nm) / compound M1 (90 nm) / BH:BD (3%, 40 nm) / ET:Liq (5:5, 30 nm) / Liq (1 nm) / Al (100 nm). The structure of the OLED organic light-emitting device can be referred to... Figure 1 .
[0127] Taking the fabrication method of OLED organic light-emitting device using compound M1 as an auxiliary hole transport material as an example, the prepared OLED organic light-emitting device is denoted as "OLED-1". The fabrication method of organic light-emitting device OLED-1 includes the following steps: a. Cleaning of conductive glass substrate: Cleaning is performed using chloroform, ketone, and isopropanol, followed by ultraviolet ozone plasma treatment; b. Preparation of organic functional layer: First, the conductive glass substrate obtained in step a is transferred into a vacuum vapor deposition apparatus and deposited under high vacuum (1×10⁻⁶). -6 At millibars, resistance heating was used for evaporation at 1 Å s. -1 Hole implantation materials PD and HT were deposited on ITO at a deposition rate of 3:97, resulting in a hole implantation layer with a thickness of 10 nm. Then, at a deposition rate of 1.5 Å s⁻¹... -1 Hole transport material HT was deposited on the hole injection layer at a deposition rate of 1 Å s to obtain a hole transport layer with a thickness of 130 nm. Then, at a deposition rate of 1 Å s... -1 Compound M1, as described in Example 1, was deposited on the hole transport layer at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s to obtain an auxiliary hole transport layer with a thickness of 90 nm. Next, BH and BD were deposited on the auxiliary hole transport layer at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s, with a deposition rate ratio of 97:3, to obtain a light-emitting layer with a thickness of 40 nm. Subsequently, electron transport materials ET and Liq were placed in different evaporation crucibles in a vacuum chamber and subjected to high vacuum (1 × 10⁻⁶) conditions. -6 At a weight ratio of 5:5, ET and Liq were co-deposited at a density of 1 Å / s to form a 30 nm thick electron transport layer on the luminescent layer. Then, at 1 Å / s... -1 Electron injection material Liq was deposited on the electron transport layer at a deposition rate of 1 Å s⁻¹, resulting in an electron injection layer with a thickness of 1 nm. Then, at a deposition rate of 1 Å s⁻¹... -1 The cathode material Al was deposited on the electron injection layer at a certain evaporation rate to obtain a cathode with a thickness of 100 nm.
[0128] c. Encapsulation: The device obtained in step b is encapsulated in a nitrogen glove box using ultraviolet-cured resin to finally obtain the organic light-emitting device OLED-1.
[0129] Following the fabrication method of OLED-1, compounds M2 to M17 synthesized in the examples were selected as auxiliary hole transport materials to prepare OLED-2 to OLED-17. In the fabrication methods of OLED-1 to OLED-17, all experimental conditions were the same except for the auxiliary hole transport materials.
[0130] Following the fabrication method of OLED-1, comparative organic light-emitting devices OLED-Ref-01 and OLED-Ref-02 were prepared by using compounds Ref-01 and Ref-02 as auxiliary hole transport materials. The preparation methods for OLED-Ref-01 and OLED-Ref-02 were identical to those for OLED-1, except for the auxiliary hole transport materials.
[0131] In this application, the current-voltage (ND) of OLED-1 to OLED-17 and OLED-Ref-01 to OLED-Ref-02 devices is described. JV The characteristics were characterized, and important parameters such as luminous efficiency and lifetime were recorded, as shown in Table 2. Luminous efficiency is defined as the current density at 10 mA cm⁻¹. -2 The value obtained at that time; lifetime (LT95) is at 10 mA cm -2 The time it takes for the brightness to drop to 95% of the initial brightness under the given current density.
[0132] Table 2
[0133] As can be seen from the data in Table 2, when the organic compounds M1 to M17 prepared in Examples 1 to 17 of this application are used as materials for the auxiliary hole transport layer, the luminous efficiency and lifetime of the prepared organic light-emitting devices OLED-1 to OLED-17 are significantly better than those of the control devices OLED-Ref-01 and OLED-Ref-02, and the driving voltage is lower. This is because, in the aromatic amine compound constructed with benzo[a]carbazole and dibenzo[a]furan as the core, benzo[a]carbazole extends the conjugated plane through fused benzene rings, exhibiting stronger molecular rigidity compared to ordinary carbazole. This rigid structure can suppress vibrational relaxation of molecules during nonradiative transitions, reduce molecular thermal motion, improve material stability, and lower energy consumption. Furthermore, the COC bond in dibenzo[a]furan has a high bond energy, further ensuring the stability of the molecular structure. At the same time, the oxygen-containing dibenzo[a]furan has a certain electron affinity, which can effectively block electrons from leaking backward from the light-emitting layer, reducing exciton quenching. When this organic compound is used as an auxiliary hole transport layer material for blue light devices in organic light-emitting devices, it can significantly improve the luminous efficiency and lifespan of organic light-emitting devices while maintaining a low driving voltage, achieving excellent comprehensive performance and possessing broad application prospects.
