Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Area of the invention
[0001] The present invention relates to an organic light-emitting diode comprising a metal-organic compound and various types of host materials. Description of the related technique
[0002] Interest in display devices is increasing, and their application is found in various fields. One type of display device that is rapidly developing is organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology.
[0003] An OLED is an element that emits the energy of excitons as light after electrons and holes have paired to form excitons when charges are injected into an emissive material layer formed between an anode and a cathode. Compared to conventional display technologies, OLEDs can be operated at a low voltage, consume relatively little power, deliver excellent color reproduction, can be applied to a flexible substrate for diverse applications, and allow for display devices to be freely sized.
[0004] Compared to liquid crystal displays (LCDs), OLEDs offer a wide viewing angle and high contrast ratio, and they do not require backlighting, making them lightweight and ultra-thin. OLEDs are formed by arranging a variety of intermediate layers, such as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a hole transport auxiliary layer, an electron barrier layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and the like, between the cathode (electron injection electrode) and the anode (hole injection electrode).
[0005] In the OLED structure, when a voltage is applied between two electrodes, electrons and holes are injected from the cathode and the anode, respectively, and the excitons generated by the emission material layer fall into a ground state and emit light.
[0006] The organic materials used in OLEDs can be broadly divided into a light-emitting material and a charge-transport material. The light-emitting material is a crucial factor in determining the luminous efficacy of the OLED and should exhibit high quantum efficiency and excellent electron and hole mobility, as well as be uniformly and permanently present in the emission layer. Light-emitting materials are categorized into blue, red, and green, depending on the color of the light emitted. They are used as host materials and dopants to enhance color purity and increase luminous efficacy through energy transfer.
[0007] While in fluorescent materials only a singlet of about 25% of the excitons formed in the emission material layer is used to generate light and a triplet of 75% is mostly lost as heat, phosphorescent materials have a luminescence mechanism that converts both the singlet and the triplet into light.
[0008] To date, organometallic compounds have been used as phosphorescent materials in OLEDs. There remains a technical need to improve OLED performance by deriving highly efficient phosphorescent dopants and using host materials with optimal photophysical properties to enhance the efficiency and lifetime of the device compared to conventional OLEDs.
[0009] US 2023 / 0138288A1 discloses a heteroleptic compound of the formula Ir(L a ) m (L B ) n , where La and L B Specific ligands are used that provide coordination of the Ir by a 5-membered ring and a 6-membered ring. Furthermore, the use of this compound as a doping material in OLEDs is disclosed.
[0010] US 2023 / 0146148A1 discloses organometallic compounds containing a first ligand L a This includes compounds based on a structure of fused five- and six-membered rings, and their various uses, including as emitters in devices. Formulations containing these compounds are also provided. Furthermore, organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) and related consumer products that utilize these compounds are presented.
[0011] DE 10 2022 134 162 A1 discloses an organometallic compound used as a doping material in the light-emitting layer of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED). An organic light-emitting device comprises the OLED and can be a display device or a lighting device. It is stated that the use of the organometallic compound results in an improved color gamut of the diode, luminous efficiency, and lifetime, as well as a lower operating voltage for the diode.

[0071] In particular, according to one embodiment of the present invention, an organic light-emitting diode 100 can be provided comprising a first electrode 110, a second electrode 120 facing the first electrode 110, and an intermediate layer 130 arranged between the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 120 (see Fig. 1) The intermediate layer 130 can contain an emission material layer 160, the emission material layer 160 can contain a doping material 160' and host materials 160'' and 160''' and can contain the metal-organic compound 160' represented by chemical formula 1 below as a doping material, and the host material can contain two types of compound 160'' represented by chemical formula 4 below as a hole-transport type host and compound 160''' represented by chemical formula 5 below as an electron-transport type host.

[0077] The second electrode 120 can be a cathode and can contain Al, Mg, Ca, Ag or an alloy or combination thereof, which is a conductive material with a relatively low work function value, but is not limited to this.
[0078] The hole injection layer 140 can be arranged between the first electrode 110 and the hole transport layer 150. The hole injection layer 140 can serve to improve the interfacial properties between the first electrode 110 and the hole transport layer 150 and can be selected as a material with suitable conductivity. The hole injection layer 140 can contain a compound such as MTDATA, CuPc, TCTA, HATCN, TDAPB, PEDOT / PSS, or N1,N1'-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl)bis(N1,N4,N4-triphenylbenzene-1,4-diamine), preferably N1,N1'-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl)bis(N1,N4,N4-triphenylbenzene-1,4-diamine), but this is not limited to N1,N1'-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl)bis(N1,N4,N4-triphenylbenzene-1,4-diamine).
[0079] The hole transport layer 150 can be arranged adjacent to the emission material layer between the first electrode 110 and the emission material layer 160. The hole transport layer 150 can contain, but is not limited to, a compound such as TPD, NPB, CBP, N-(biphenyl-4-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-N-(4-9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluoren-2-amine or N-biphenyl-4-yl)-N-4-9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)biphenyl)-4-amine, preferably NPB.
[0080] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the emission material layer 160 can be doped with the metal-organic compound represented by chemical formula 1 as dopant 160' to increase the light yield and the like of the hosts 160'' and 160''' and of the entire element, and the dopant 160' can be used as a material that emits green or red light and can be used, for example, as a red phosphorescent material.
[0081] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the doping concentration of the dopant 160' can be set in the range of 1 to 30 wt.%, based on the total weight of the host species 160" and 160"', and is not limited thereto, but for example the doping concentration can be 2 to 20 wt.%, for example 3 to 15 wt.%, for example 5 to 10 wt.%, for example 3 to 8 wt.%, for example 2 to 7 wt.%, for example 5 to 7 wt.% and for example 5 to 6 wt.%.
[0082] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the mixing ratio of the two types of hosts 160'' and 160''' is not particularly limited, and host 160'', which is the compound represented by chemical formula 4, can exhibit hole transport properties, and host 160''', which is the compound represented by chemical formula 5, can exhibit electron transport properties. Therefore, when the two types of hosts are mixed, it is possible to increase the lifetime properties, and the mixing ratio of the two types of hosts can be adjusted accordingly.Therefore, the mixing ratio of the two hosts in which the compound represented by chemical formula 4 and the compound represented by chemical formula 5 are mixed is not particularly limited, and the ratio (based on weight) of the compound represented by chemical formula 4 and the compound represented by chemical formula 5 may, for example, be in the range of 1:9 to 9:1, for example 2:8, for example 3:7, for example 4:6, for example 5:5, for example 6:4, for example 7:3 and for example 8:2.
[0083] Furthermore, the electron transport layer 170 and the electron injection layer 180 can be stacked sequentially between the emission material layer 160 and the second electrode 120. The electron transport layer material must have high electron mobility, and electrons can be stably supplied to the emission material layer via smooth electron transport.
[0084] The material of the electron transport layer 170 is commonly used in engineering and can, for example, comprise a compound such as Alq3 (tris(8-hydroxyquinolino)aluminium), Liq(8-hydroxyquinolinolatolithium), PBD(2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4oxadiazole), TAZ(3-(4-biphenyl)4-phenyl-5-tert-butylphenyl-1,2,4-triazole), Spiro-PBD, BAlq(bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinolate)-4-(phenylphenolato)aluminium), SAlq, TPBi(2,2',2-(1,3,5-benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole), oxadiazole, triazole, phenanthroline, benzoxazole, benzthiazole, or 2-(4-(9,10-Di(naphthalen-2-yl)anthracen-2-yl)phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole, preferably 2-(4-(9,10-Di(naphthalen)-2-yl)anthracen-2-yl)phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole, but is not limited to this.
[0085] The electron injection layer 180 serves to enable the smooth injection of electrons, and a material for the electron injection layer is commonly used in the industry and can include, for example, Alq3 (tris(8-hydroxyquinolino)aluminium), PBD, TAZ, spiro-PBD, BAlq, SAlq, or similar materials, but is not limited to these. Alternatively, the electron injection layer 180 can be made from a metal compound, and the metal compound can include, for example, Liq, LiF, NaF, KF, RbF, CsF, FrF, BeF2, MgF2, CaF2, SrF2, BaF2, RaF2, or similar materials, but is not limited to these.

[0094] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the OLED can have a tandem structure in which four or more light-emitting parts and three or more charge-generating layers are arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode.
[0095] The OLED according to the invention can be used in OLED display devices and lighting devices with OLEDs.
[0096] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an organic light-emitting diode display device is provided, comprising the following: a substrate; a drive element that is arranged on the substrate; and the organic light-emitting diode, which is arranged on the substrate and connected to the drive element.
[0097] In one embodiment, Fig.4 a cross-sectional view which schematically shows an OLED display device onto which the OLED is applied according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0098] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 4, an OLED display device 3000 can comprise a substrate 3010, an OLED 4000, and an encapsulation film 3900 covering the OLED 4000. A driving thin-film transistor Td, which is a driving element, and the OLED 4000, which is connected to the driving thin-film transistor Td, are arranged on the substrate 3010. The OLED display device 3000 comprises a variety of the components shown in Figure 4. Fig. The configuration shown in section 4 consists of a multitude of OLEDs 4000 and associated thin-film transistors Td. Other components for displaying images by the OLED display device 3000 are included therein.
[0099] Although in Fig.Not explicitly shown in Figure 4, substrate 3010 further comprises a gate line and a data line that intersect to define a pixel area, a power supply line that is spaced apart from the gate line or the data line and extends parallel to it, a switching thin-film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line, and a storage capacitor connected to the power supply line and an electrode of the switching thin-film transistor.
[0100] The driving thin-film transistor Td is connected to the switching thin-film transistor and comprises a semiconductor layer 3100, a gate electrode 3300, a source electrode 3520 and a drain electrode 3540.
[0101] The semiconductor layer 3100 can be formed on the substrate 3010 and can consist of an oxide semiconductor material or polycrystalline silicon. If the semiconductor layer 3100 consists of the oxide semiconductor material, a light-blocking pattern can optionally be formed beneath the semiconductor layer 3100. This light-blocking pattern prevents light from reaching the semiconductor layer 3100, thus preventing light-induced degradation of the semiconductor layer 3100. Alternatively, the semiconductor layer 3100 can consist of polycrystalline silicon, in which case both edges of the semiconductor layer 3100 can be doped with impurities.
[0102] A gate insulating film 3200 made of an insulating material is formed on the entire surface of the substrate 3010 and the semiconductor layer 3100. The gate insulating film 3200 can consist of an inorganic insulating material, e.g., silicon oxide or silicon nitride.
[0103] A gate electrode 3300 made of a conductive material, such as a metal, is formed above the gate insulating film 3200 in the center of the semiconductor layer 3100. The gate electrode 3300 is connected to the switching thin-film transistor.
[0104] An insulating interlayer 3400 made of an insulating material is formed on the entire surface of the substrate 3010 and the gate electrode 3300. The interlayer insulating film 3400 can be made of an inorganic insulating material, such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride, or of an organic insulating material, such as benzocyclobutene or photoacrylic.
[0105] The interlayer insulating film 3400 has first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 3420 and 3440, which expose both sides of the semiconductor layer 3100. The first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 3420 and 3440 are arranged such that they are spaced apart from the gate electrode 3300 on both sides of the gate electrode 3300.
[0106] The source electrode 3520 and the drain electrode 3540, which consist of the conductive material, such as a metal, are formed on the insulating intermediate layer 3400. The source electrode 3520 and the drain electrode 3540 are arranged so that they are spaced apart from each other with respect to the gate electrode 3300 and are in contact with both sides of the semiconductor layer 3100 via the first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 3420 and 3440, respectively. The source electrode 3520 is connected to the current conductor.
[0107] The semiconductor layer 3100, the gate electrode 3300, the source electrode 3520 and the drain electrode 3540 form the control thin-film transistor Td, and the control thin-film transistor Td has a coplanar structure in which the gate electrode 3300, the source electrode 3520 and the drain electrode 3540 are arranged over the semiconductor layer 3100.
[0108] Alternatively, the driving thin-film transistor Td can have an inverted, staggered structure, in which the gate electrode is located below the semiconductor layer and the source and drain electrodes are located above the semiconductor layer. In this case, the semiconductor layer can be made of amorphous silicon. Meanwhile, the switching thin-film transistor can have essentially the same structure as the controlling thin-film transistor Td.
[0109] Simultaneously, the OLED display device 3000 can incorporate a color filter 3600 that absorbs the light generated by the OLED 4000. For example, the color filter 3600 can absorb light in the colors red (R), green (G), blue (B), and white (W). In this case, red, green, and blue color filter patterns that absorb light can be formed separately in each pixel area, and each of the color filter patterns can be arranged to overlap each intermediate layer 4300 of the OLED 4000 that emits light in a wavelength band to be absorbed. By using the color filter 3600, the OLED display device 3000 can display full color.
[0110] If, for example, the OLED display device 3000 is of a bottom-emission type, the color filter 3600, which absorbs light, can be arranged above the insulating intermediate layer 3400, which corresponds to the OLED 4000. In an embodiment where the OLED display device 3000 is of an top-emission type, the color filter can be positioned above the OLED 4000, for example, above a second electrode 4200. The color filter 3600 can, for example, be shaped to have a thickness of 2 to 5 µm.
[0111] Meanwhile, a planarization layer 3700 with a drain contact hole 3720, which exposes the drain electrode 3540 of the driver thin-film transistor Td, is formed to cover the driver thin-film transistor Td.
[0112] On the planarization layer 3700, a first electrode 4100 is formed separately in each pixel area, which is connected to the drain electrode 3540 of the thin-film transistor Td via the drain contact hole 3720.
[0113] The first electrode 4100 can be an anode and be made of a conductive material with a relatively high work function value. For example, the first electrode 4100 can be made of a transparent conductive material such as ITO, IZO, or ZnO.
[0114] If the OLED display device 3000 is a top-emitting device, a reflective electrode or a reflective layer can be formed under the first electrode 4100. For example, the reflective electrode or the reflective layer can be made of aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), nickel (Ni), or an aluminum-palladium-copper alloy (APC).
[0115] A bank layer 3800, covering an edge of the first electrode 4100, is formed on the planarization layer 3700. The bank layer 3800 exposes the center of the first electrode 4100, which corresponds to the pixel area.
[0116] The intermediate layer 4300 is formed on the first electrode 4100, and if required, the OLED 4000 can have a tandem structure, and with regard to the tandem structure, reference is made to the Fig. Reference is made to Figures 2 to 4, which show the embodiment of the present invention and the above description thereof.
[0117] The second electrode 4200 is formed above the substrate 3010, on which the intermediate layer 4300 is formed. The second electrode 4200 can be positioned anywhere on the surface of the display area and can be made of a conductive material with a relatively low work function value to serve as the cathode. For example, the second electrode 4200 can be made of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), or an aluminum-magnesium alloy (Al-Mg).
[0118] The first electrode 4100, the intermediate layer 4300 and the second electrode 4200 form the OLED 4000.
[0119] The encapsulation film 3900 is formed on the second electrode 4200 to prevent moisture from penetrating the OLED 4000 from the outside. Although in Fig.Not explicitly shown in Figure 4, the encapsulation film 3900 can have a three-layer structure in which a first inorganic layer, an intermediate layer and an inorganic layer are stacked on top of each other, but is not limited to this.
[0120] Examples of the present invention are described below. However, the following examples are only examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to them. EXAMPLES
[0121] The following examples are not to be understood as limiting. The invention above offers many different embodiments for implementing its features, and the following examples describe specific embodiments. It is understood that other modifications and methods known to those skilled in the art can also be applied to the following experimental procedures without exceeding the scope of the invention. Example 1
[0122] An ITO substrate was cleaned with UV ozone prior to use and then loaded into a deposition system. The substrate was then transported to a vacuum deposition chamber where all subsequent layers were deposited over the substrate. The following layers were deposited in the following sequence by deposition from a heated boat under a vacuum of approximately 10 -7 Torr is isolated.
[0123] HATCN (see structure below) was thermally deposited in a vacuum onto a provided transparent ITO electrode as a hole injection material to form a 100 Å thick hole injection layer. Then, HTL (see structure below) was thermally deposited in a vacuum as a hole transport material to form a 700 Å thick hole transport layer. Subsequently, an emission material layer 300 Å thick was formed using RD6 as the dopant and a mixture of RHH1 and REH1 (RHH1:REH1 = 1:1, based on weight) as the host. The dopant concentration in the emission material layer was 10 wt%.Subsequently, an OLED with a structure consisting of ITO / hole injection layer / hole transport layer / emission material layer / electron transport layer / electron injection layer / cathode was fabricated by sequentially thermally depositing Alq3 (see structure below) as the electron transport material and LiF as the electron injection material in a vacuum to form an electron transport layer 300 Å thick and an electron injection layer 10 Å thick, and then depositing aluminum 1000 Å thick to form a cathode. After deposition, the layers were transferred from the deposition chamber to a drying box to form a film and subsequently encapsulated with a UV-cured epoxy and a moisture collector. Examples 2 to 144 and comparative examples 1 to 4
[0124] The OLEDs of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 and Examples 2 to 144 were fabricated in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the dopant materials and host materials listed in Tables 1 to 8 were used in Example 1. In Examples 2 to 144, the mixing ratio of the host materials was 1:1 (by weight). In Comparative Examples 1 to 4, the "CBP" type with the structure shown below was used as the host for the emission material layer.
[0125] The materials used in examples 1 to 144 and comparison examples 1 to 4 are as follows. Experimental example
[0126] The OLEDs produced in examples 1 to 144 and comparison examples 1 to 4 had an emission area of 9 mm². 2Each OLED was connected to an external power source, and the device characteristics were investigated at room temperature using a power source (KEITHLEY) and a photometer (PR 650); the results are listed in Tables 1 to 8. When a DC voltage was applied, the light emission was confirmed to have the characteristics specified in Tables 1 to 8.
[0127] In particular, the characteristic values for the operating voltage (V), the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and the lifetime (LT95) were determined at a current of 10 mA / cm². 2 measured, and the measured values of examples 1 to 144 were calculated as relative values (percentage, %) for each of the comparison examples 1 to 4, and the results are listed in Tables 1 to 8 below.
[0128] The LT95 lifetime indicates the time an OLED needs to reach its full lifespan at 40 °C and 40 mA / cm². 2to lose 5% of their original brightness (lifespan decreases from 100% to 95%). LT95 is the most difficult specification to meet for element characteristics, and LT95 can be used to determine whether an OLED will suffer from image burn-in.
