Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present disclosure relates to heterocyclic compounds, organic light-emitting devices including the heterocyclic compounds, and electronic apparatuses including the organic light-emitting devices.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Organic light-emitting devices are self-emissive devices that produce full-color images, and also have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response times, and excellent characteristics in terms of luminance, driving voltage, and response speed, compared to devices in the art.

[0003] In an example, an organic light-emitting device includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer arranged between the anode and the cathode and including an emission layer. A hole transport region may be arranged between the anode and the emission layer, and an electron transport region may be arranged between the emission layer and the cathode. Holes provided from the anode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the cathode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. The holes and the electrons recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons transition from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light. Fused polycyclic organoboranes used for OLEDs are disclosed in CN 113072571A.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The above and other aspects, features, and advantages of certain embodiments of the disclosure will be more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting device according to an exemplary embodiment; FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting device according to another exemplary embodiment; FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting device according to another exemplary embodiment; and FIGS. 4A to 4E are each diagram illustrating energy levels in an emission layer of an organic light-emitting device according to an exemplary embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification. In this regard, the present embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the figures, to explain aspects. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the same associated listed items. Expressions such as "at least one of," when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.

[0011] It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may be present therebetween. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, there are no intervening elements present

[0012] It will be understood that, although the terms "first," "second," "third" etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section Thus, "a first element," "component," "region," "layer" or "section" discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings herein.

[0013] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, "a," "an," "the," and "at least one" do not denote a limitation of quantity, and are intended to cover both the singular and plural, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, "an element" has the same meaning as "at least one element," unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0014] "Or" means "and / or." As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising," or "includes" and / or "including" when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0015] Furthermore, relative terms, such as "lower" or "bottom" and "upper" or "top," may be used herein to describe one element's relationship to another element as illustrated in the Figures. It will be understood that relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in addition to the orientation depicted in the Figures For example, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as being on the "lower" side of other elements would then be oriented on "upper" sides of the other elements The exemplary term "lower," can therefore, encompasses both an orientation of "lower" and "upper," depending on the particular orientation of the figure. Similarly, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements would then be oriented "above" the other elements. The exemplary terms "below" or "beneath" can, therefore, encompass both an orientation of above and below.

[0016] "About" or "approximately" as used herein is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, considering the measurement in question and the error associated with measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "about" can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ± 30%, 20%, 10% or 5% of the stated value.

[0017] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

[0018] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross section illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may, typically, have rough and / or nonlinear features. Moreover, sharp angles that are illustrated may be rounded. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region and are not intended to limit the scope of the present claims.

[0071] In one or more embodiments, the heterocyclic compound may be of Compounds 1 to 78:

[0072] Since the heterocyclic compound has a rigid structure in which aromatic hydrocarbon rings or heteroaromatic rings are condensed with each other, structural relaxation in an excited state may be suppressed. As a result, the heterocyclic compound may have a narrow width of blue emission spectrum and exhibit improved color purity.

[0073] In detail, since the heterocyclic compound includes an N atom in a moiety structure represented by then the heterocyclic compound may have a relatively narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM), and more specifically, may have a narrower FWHM than that of a heterocyclic compound including an O atom or an S atom. For example, it is known that a FWHM of each of TMCz-BO and TMCz-3P that include an O atom or an S atom is 59 nm and 61 nm, respectively (J. U. Kim, I. S. Park, C.-Y. Chan, M. Tanaka, Y. Tsuchiya, H. Nakanotani, C. Adachi, Nat. Commun. 2020, 11, 1765), but a FWHM of TBN-TPA including an N atom with relatively low structural fluidity is 27 nm (X. Liang, Z.-P. Yan, H.-B. Han, Z.-G. Wu, Y.-X.

Accordingly, an organic light-emitting device including the heterocyclic compound may have improved efficiency and / or a long lifespan.

[0075] In the heterocyclic compound, the sum of n11 to n16 and m11 to m16 in Formula 1-1 may each be 2 or more, and the sum of n11 to n15 and m11 to m15 in Formula 1-2 may each be 2 or more.

Accordingly, an organic light-emitting device including the heterocyclic compound may have improved efficiency and / or a long lifespan.

[0076] In addition, since the heterocyclic compound has an asymmetric structure in its core, a dense wavelength control may be possible along with shortening of an emission wavelength, thereby providing an organic light emitting device with high efficiency and / or a long life.

[0077] A peak wavelength in photoluminescence (PL) of the heterocyclic compound according to an embodiment is not particularly limited, but may be about 430 nm or more. In one or more embodiments, the peak wavelength may be about 435 nm or more, about 440 nm or more, about 500 nm or less, about 490 nm or less, or about 480 nm or less.

In detail, the heterocyclic compound may have a FWHM value of about 45 nm or less, about 40 nm or less, or about 35 nm or less. When the FWHM is within these ranges, the heterocyclic compound according to an embodiment may have further improved color purity.

[0079] The peak wavelength and the FWHM in the PL may each be measured and / or calculated using a spectrofluorophotometer.

[0080] A highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level, a lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level, an S 1 energy level, and a T 1 energy level of some compounds of the heterocyclic compound represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2 are evaluated using the Gaussian 09 program with the molecular structure optimization obtained by B3LYP-based density functional theory (DFT), and results thereof are shown in Table 1.

[0095] Singlet excitons may be generated in Host A included in the emission layer, and these singlet excitons may be transferred to a fluorescence emitter through Förster energy transfer (FRET).

In addition, triplet excitons generated at a ratio of 75 % in Host B included in the emission layer may be transferred to a delayed fluorescence emitter through Dexter energy transfer. The energy transferred to a triplet state of the delayed fluorescence emitter may undergo reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) to a singlet state. Accordingly, by transferring all the singlet excitons and triplet excitons generated in the emission layer to the heterocyclic compound, the organic light-emitting device with improved efficiency may be obtained.

[0105] According to the Second Embodiment, emission components emitted from the heterocyclic compound may account for about 80 % or more, for example, about 90 % or more, of the total emission components emitted from the emission layer.

[0124] T 1 (H D ), T 1 (S B ), and S 1 (HC) may be evaluated using the DFT method of the Gaussian program with structure optimization performed at a degree of B3LYP / 6-31G(d,p).

[0125] When Host D, Sensitizer B, and the heterocyclic compound satisfy Condition D-1 and / or D-2, FRET from Sensitizer B to the heterocyclic compound may be facilitated, and accordingly, the organic light-emitting device may have improved luminescence efficiency.

[0126] In the Third Embodiment and the Fourth Embodiment, an amount of the sensitizer in the emission layer may be in a range of about 5 wt% to about 50 wt%, for example, about 10 wt% to about 30 wt%. Within these ranges, the energy transfer in the emission layer may be effectively achieved, and accordingly, an organic light-emitting device having high efficiency and a long lifespan may be obtained.

[0127] In the Third Embodiment and the Fourth Embodiment, an amount of the heterocyclic compound in the emission layer may be in a range of about 0.01 wt% to about 15 wt%, for example, about 0.05 wt% to about 3 wt%, but embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0128] In the Third Embodiment and the Fourth Embodiment, the sensitizer and the heterocyclic compound may further satisfy Condition 5: 0 μs < T decay HC < 5 μs wherein, in Condition 5, T decay (HC) indicates a decay time of the heterocyclic compound.

[0129] The decay time of the heterocyclic compound was measured from a time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectrum at room temperature of a film (hereinafter, referred to as "Film HC") having a thickness of 40 nm formed by vacuum-depositing the host and the heterocyclic compound included in the emission layer on a quartz substrate at a weight ratio of 90:10 at a vacuum pressure of 10 -7< torr (wherein 1 torr = 133.322 Pa)Fifth Embodiment - Descriptions of FIG. 4E

[0130] In the Fifth Embodiment, the heterocyclic compound may be used as a delayed fluorescence emitter, and the emission layer may include a sensitizer, for example, a delayed fluorescence sensitizer. In the Fifth Embodiment, the emission layer may further include a host (hereinafter, referred to as 'Host E' which is not identical to the heterocyclic compound and the sensitizer) and a sensitizer (hereinafter, referred to as 'Sensitizer C' which is not identical to Host E and the heterocyclic compound). Host E and Sensitizer C may respectively be understood by referring to a host material and a sensitizer material described below, but embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0131] According to the Fifth Embodiment, emission components emitted from the heterocyclic compound may account for about 80 % or more, for example, about 90 % or more (and for example, about 95 % or more), of the total emission components emitted from the emission layer. For example, the heterocyclic compound may emit fluorescence and / or delayed fluorescence. In addition, Host E and Sensitizer C may not each emit light.

[0132] Here, the heterocyclic compound may emit fluorescence and / or delayed fluorescence, and the emission components of the heterocyclic compound may be a total of prompt emission components of the heterocyclic compound and delayed fluorescence components by RISC of the heterocyclic compound.

[0133] FIG. 4E depicts the general energy transfer of the Fifth Embodiment.

[0134] Singlet excitons generated at a ratio of 25 % in Host E included in the emission layer may be transferred to a singlet state of Sensitizer C through FRET, and energy of triplet excitons generated at a ratio of 75 % in Host E may be transferred to a triplet state of Sensitizer C, wherein the energy transferred to the singlet state of Sensitizer B may undergo ISC to the triplet state, and then, the triplet energy of Sensitizer B may be transferred to the heterocyclic compound through FRET. The energy transferred to the triplet state of Sensitizer C may undergo RISC to the singlet state. In addition, in the case of Sensitizer C, the energy of the triplet excitons generated in Sensitizer C may undergo reverse transfer to Host E first, and then to the heterocyclic compound, thereby emitting light by reverse intersystem transfer.

[0135] Accordingly, by transferring all the singlet excitons and triplet excitons generated in the emission layer to a dopant, an organic light-emitting device having improved efficiency may be obtained. In addition, since an organic light-emitting device thus obtained has significantly reduced energy loss, lifespan characteristics thereof may be also improved.

[0136] In the Fifth Embodiment, when the emission layer further includes, in addition to the heterocyclic compound, Host E and Sensitizer C, Host E and Sensitizer C may satisfy Condition E-1, E-2, and / or E-3: S 1 H E ≥ S 1 S C S 1 S C ≥ S 1 HC T 1 S C ≥ T 1 HC wherein, in Conditions E-1, E-2, and E-3, S 1 (H E ) indicates a lowest excited singlet energy level of Host E, S 1 (S C ) indicates a lowest excited singlet energy level of Sensitizer C, S 1 (HC) indicates a lowest excited singlet energy level of the heterocyclic compound, T 1 (S C ) indicates a lowest excited triplet energy level of Sensitizer C, and T 1 (HC) indicates a lowest excited triplet energy level of the heterocyclic compound.

[0137] S 1 (H E ), S 1 (S C ), S 1 (HC), T 1 (S C ), and T 1 (HC) may be evaluated using the DFT method of the Gaussian program with structure optimization performed at a degree of B3LYP / 6-31G(d,p).

[0138] When Host E, Sensitizer C, and the heterocyclic compound satisfy Condition E-1, E-2, and / or E-3, Dexter transfer and FRET from Sensitizer C to the heterocyclic compound may be facilitated, and accordingly, the organic light-emitting device may have improved luminescence efficiency.

[0139] In the Fifth Embodiment, an amount of Sensitizer C in the emission layer may be in a range of about 5 wt% to about 50 wt%, for example, about 10 wt% to about 30 wt%. Within these ranges, the energy transfer in the emission layer may be effectively achieved, and accordingly, an organic light-emitting device having high efficiency and a long lifespan may be obtained.

[0140] In the Fifth Embodiment, an amount of the heterocyclic compound in the emission layer may be in a range of about 0.01 wt% to about 15 wt%, for example, about 0.05 wt% to about 3 wt%, but embodiments are not limited thereto.[Host in emission layer 15]
