Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an organometallic compound and an organic light-emitting device.
Background Art
[0002] As display devices are applied in various fields, their popularity has been increasing. As one of these display elements, the technology of organic light-emitting display devices including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) has been rapidly developing.
[0003] An organic light-emitting device is a device that injects charges into a light-emitting layer formed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode, forms excitons by pairing electrons and holes, and then emits the energy of the excitons as light. Compared with existing display technologies, organic light-emitting devices can be driven at a low voltage, consume relatively less power, have excellent color perception, and can be applied to flexible substrates, so they can be used in various ways and have the advantage of being able to freely adjust the size of the display device.
[0004] Organic light-emitting devices are superior to liquid crystal displays (LCDs) in terms of viewing angle, contrast ratio, etc., do not require a backlight, and can be lightweight and ultra-thin. An organic light-emitting device is formed by arranging a plurality of organic layers, such as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a hole transport auxiliary layer, an electron blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer, between a negative electrode (electron injection electrode; cathode) and a positive electrode (hole injection electrode; anode).
[0005] In the structure of these organic light-emitting devices, when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, electrons and holes are injected from the negative electrode and the positive electrode respectively, and the excitons generated in the light-emitting layer emit light while falling to the ground state.
[0006] The organic materials used in organic light-emitting devices can be broadly classified into light-emitting materials and charge transport materials. Light-emitting materials are an important factor in determining the luminous efficiency of organic light-emitting devices. They need to have high quantum efficiency, excellent electron and hole mobilities, and must be uniformly and stably present in the light-emitting layer. Light-emitting materials are classified into light-emitting materials such as blue, red, and green according to the emitted light color. As coloring materials, they are used as hosts and dopants to increase color purity and luminous efficiency through energy transfer.
[0007] In the case of fluorescent substances, only about 25% of the singlet excitons formed in the light-emitting layer are used to generate light, and 75% of the triplets mostly disappear as heat. On the other hand, phosphorescent substances have a light-emitting mechanism that converts both singlets and triplets into light.
[0008] To date, organometallic compounds have been used as phosphorescent light-emitting materials in organic light-emitting devices. In order to improve the efficiency and lifespan of existing organic light-emitting devices, there is still a technical requirement to improve the performance of organic light-emitting devices by deriving highly efficient phosphorescent dopant materials and applying hosts with optimal photophysical properties.

[0079] Specifically, referring to FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, an organic light-emitting device 100 including a first electrode 110, a second electrode 120 facing the first electrode 110, and an intermediate layer 130 disposed between the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 120 can be provided. The intermediate layer 130 may include a light-emitting layer 160. The light-emitting layer 160 may include a dopant material 160' and host materials 160'', 160'''. As the dopant material, it may include an organometallic compound 160' represented by the following Chemical Formula 1. The host material may include a two-host mixture of a compound 160'' represented by the following Chemical Formula 4 as a hole-transporting host and a compound 160''' represented by Chemical Formula 5 as an electron-transporting host.
[0080] Also, in the organic light-emitting device 100, the intermediate layer 130 disposed between the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 120 may have a structure including a hole injection layer 140 (hole injection layer; HIL), a hole transport layer 150 (hole transfer layer; HTL), a light-emitting layer 160 (emission material layer; EML), an electron transport layer 170 (electron transfer layer; ETL), and an electron injection layer 180 (electron injection layer; EIL) in sequence from the first electrode 110. The second electrode 120 can be formed on the electron injection layer 180, and a protective film (not shown) can be formed thereon.
[0081] Although not shown in FIG. 1, one or more of a hole transport auxiliary layer and an electron blocking layer can be further added between the hole transport layer 150 and the light emitting layer 160.
[0082] The hole transport auxiliary layer contains a compound having good hole transport characteristics, and by reducing the HOMO energy level difference between the hole transport layer 150 and the light emitting layer 160, the injection characteristics of holes can be adjusted, and the accumulation of holes at the interface between the hole transport auxiliary layer and the light emitting layer 160 can be reduced. The quenching phenomenon in which excitons due to polarons at the interface disappear can be reduced. As a result, the degradation phenomenon of the device is reduced, the device is stabilized, and the efficiency and lifespan can be improved.
[0083] The electron blocking layer can adjust the movement of electrons and their combination with holes, prevent electrons from flowing into the hole transport layer, and improve the efficiency and lifespan of the organic light-emitting device. The material for forming the electron blocking layer can be selected from TCTA, tris[4-(diethylamino)phenyl]amine, N-(biphenyl-4-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluorene-2-amine, TAPC, MTDATA, mCP, mCBP, CuPC, DNTPD, TDAPB, DCDPA, 2,8-bis(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)dibenzo[b,d]thiophene, etc. Further, the electron blocking layer may contain an inorganic compound. The inorganic compound can be selected from halide compounds such as LiF, NaF, KF, RbF, CsF, FrF, MgF2, CaF2, SrF2, BaF2, LiCl, NaCl, KCl, RbCl, CsCl, FrCl, and oxides such as Li2O, Li2O2, Na2O, K2O, Rb2O, Rb2O2, Cs2O, Cs2O2, LiAlO2, LiBO2, LiTaO3, LiNbO3, LiWO4, Li2CO, NaWO4, KAlO2, K2SiO3, B2O5, Al2O3, SiO2, etc., but is not necessarily limited thereto.
[0084] The first electrode 110 may be a positive electrode and may be made of ITO, IZO, tin oxide, or zinc oxide, which is a conductive material with a relatively large work function value, but is not limited thereto.
[0085] The second electrode 120 may be a negative electrode and may be made of Al, Mg, Ca, Ag, or those containing alloys or combinations thereof, which are conductive materials with a relatively small work function value, but is not limited thereto.
[0086] The hole injection layer 140 may be located between the first electrode 110 and the hole transport layer 150. The hole injection layer 140 has a function of improving the interfacial characteristics between the first electrode 110 and the hole transport layer 150, and can be selected from substances having appropriate conductivity. The hole injection layer 140 may contain compounds such as MTDATA, CuPc, TCTA, HATCN, TDAPB, PEDOT / PSS, N1,N1'-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl)bis(N1,N4,N4-triphenylbenzene-1,4-diamine), and preferably may contain N1,N1'-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl)bis(N1,N4,N4-triphenylbenzene-1,4-diamine), but is not limited thereto.
[0087] The hole transport layer 150 is located adjacent to the light-emitting layer between the first electrode 110 and the light-emitting layer 160. The hole transport layer 150 may contain compounds such as TPD, NPB, CBP, N-(biphenyl-4-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluorene-2-amine, N-(biphenyl-4-yl)-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)biphenyl)-4-amine, and preferably may contain NPB, but is not limited thereto.
[0088] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the light-emitting layer 160 may be formed by doping an organometallic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 as a dopant 160' in order to improve the light-emitting efficiency of the host 160'', 160''' and the like of the device. The dopant 160' can be used as a substance that emits light in green or red, and preferably can be used as a green phosphorescent substance.
[0089] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the doping concentration of the dopant 160' can be adjusted within the range of 1 to 30% by weight based on the total weight of the two hosts 160'', 160''', and although not limited thereto, for example, the doping concentration may be 2 to 20% by weight, for example, 3 to 15% by weight, for example, 5 to 10% by weight, for example, 3 to 8% by weight, for example, 2 to 7% by weight, for example, 5 to 7% by weight, for example, 5 to 6% by weight.
[0090] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the mixing ratio of the two hosts 160'', 160''' is not particularly limited. The host 160'' which is a compound represented by Chemical Formula 4 has hole transport characteristics, and the host 160''' which is a compound represented by Chemical Formula 5 has electron transport characteristics. Therefore, when the two hosts are mixed, the advantage of increasing the lifetime characteristics can be achieved, and the mixing ratio of the two hosts can be adjusted as appropriate. Thus, 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 (by weight) of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 4: the compound represented by Chemical Formula 5 may be, for example, 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, for example, 8:2.
[0091] Also, an electron transport layer 170 and an electron injection layer 180 may be sequentially laminated between the light-emitting layer 160 and the second electrode 120. The material of the electron transport layer 170 is required to have high electron mobility, but can stably supply electrons to the light-emitting layer by smooth electron transport.

For example, it may include compounds such as Alq3 (tris(8-hydroxyquinolino)aluminum), PBD, TAZ, spiro-PBD, BAlq, SAlq, etc., but is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the electron injection layer 180 may be made of a metal compound. The metal compound may include, for example, Liq, LiF, NaF, KF, RbF, CsF, FrF, BeF2, MgF2, CaF2, SrF2, BaF2, RaF2, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0107] Although not explicitly shown in FIG. 4, on the substrate 3010, there are further formed a gate wiring and a data wiring that intersect each other to define a pixel region, a power wiring that extends parallel and spaced apart from either the gate wiring or the data wiring, a switching thin-film transistor connected to the gate wiring and the data wiring, and a storage capacitor connected to one electrode of the power wiring and the switching thin-film transistor.
[0108] The driving thin-film transistor (Td) is connected to the switching thin-film transistor and includes a semiconductor layer 3100, a gate electrode 3300, a source electrode 3520, and a drain electrode 3540.
[0109] The semiconductor layer 3100 is formed on the substrate 3010 and may be made of an oxide semiconductor material or polycrystalline silicon. When the semiconductor layer 3100 is made of an oxide semiconductor material, a light-shielding pattern (not shown) may be formed below the semiconductor layer 3100, and the light-shielding pattern prevents light from entering the semiconductor layer 3100 and prevents the semiconductor layer 3100 from deteriorating due to light. In contrast, the semiconductor layer 3100 may be made of polycrystalline silicon, and in this case, impurities may be doped at both edges of the semiconductor layer 3100.
[0110] On the upper part of the semiconductor layer 3100, a gate insulating film 3200 made of an insulating material is formed on the entire surface of the substrate 3010. The gate insulating film 3200 may be made of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.
[0111] On the upper part of the gate insulating film 3200, a gate electrode 3300 made of a conductive material such as metal is formed corresponding to the center of the semiconductor layer 3100. The gate electrode 3300 is connected to a switching thin film transistor.
[0112] On the upper part of the gate electrode 3300, an interlayer insulating film 3400 made of an insulating material is formed on the entire surface of the substrate 3010. The interlayer insulating film 3400 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride, or may be formed of an organic insulating material such as benzocyclobutene or photo-acryl.
[0113] The interlayer insulating film 3400 has first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 3420 and 3440 that expose both sides of the semiconductor layer 3100. The first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 3420 and 3440 are located on both sides of the gate electrode 3300 and are spaced apart from the gate electrode 3300.
[0114] On the interlayer insulating film 3400, a source electrode 3520 and a drain electrode 3540 made of a conductive material such as metal are formed. The source electrode 3520 and the drain electrode 3540 are spaced apart centering around the gate electrode 3300, and are in contact with both sides of the semiconductor layer 3100 through the first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 3420 and 3440, respectively. The source electrode 3520 is connected to a power wiring (not shown).
[0115] The semiconductor layer 3100, the gate electrode 3300, the source electrode 3520, and the drain electrode 3540 constitute a driving thin-film transistor (Td), and the driving thin-film transistor (Td) has a coplanar structure in which the gate electrode 3300, the source electrode 3520, and the drain electrode 3540 are located above the semiconductor layer 3100.
[0116] Differently, the driving thin-film transistor (Td) may have an inverted staggered structure in which the gate electrode is located below the semiconductor layer and the source electrode and the drain electrode are located above the semiconductor layer. In this case, the semiconductor layer may be made of amorphous silicon. On the other hand, the switching thin-film transistor (not shown) may have substantially the same structure as the driving thin-film transistor (Td).
[0117] On the other hand, the organic light-emitting display device 3000 may include a color filter 3600 that absorbs light generated by the organic light-emitting element 4000. For example, the color filter 3600 can absorb red (R), green (G), blue (B), and white (W) light. In this case, the color filter patterns of red, green, and blue that absorb light may be formed separately for each pixel region, and each of these color filter patterns may be arranged to overlap with the intermediate layer 4300 among the organic light-emitting elements 4000 that emit light in the wavelength band to be absorbed. By adopting the color filter 3600, the organic light-emitting display device 3000 can implement full-color.
[0118] For example, when the organic light-emitting display device 3000 is of the bottom-emission type, a color filter 3600 that absorbs light may be located above the interlayer insulating film 3400 corresponding to the organic light-emitting element 4000. In an exemplary embodiment, when the organic light-emitting display device 3000 is of the top-emission type, the color filter may be located above the organic light-emitting element 4000, that is, above the second electrode 4200. As an example, the color filter 3600 can be formed with a thickness of 2 to 5 μm.
[0119] On the other hand, a planarization layer 3700 having a drain contact hole 3720 that exposes the drain electrode 3540 of the driving thin-film transistor (Td) is formed to cover the driving thin-film transistor (Td).
[0120] On the planarization layer 3700, a first electrode 4100 connected to the drain electrode 3540 of the driving thin-film transistor (Td) through the drain contact hole 3720 is formed separately for each pixel region.
[0121] The first electrode 4100 may be an anode or may be made of a conductive material having a relatively large work function value. For example, the first electrode 4100 may be made of a transparent conductive material such as ITO, IZO, or ZnO.
[0122] On the other hand, when the organic light-emitting display device 3000 is of the top-emission type, a reflective electrode or a reflective layer may be further formed below the first electrode 4100. For example, the reflective electrode or the reflective layer may be made of any one of aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), nickel (Ni), and a silver-palladium-copper (Ag-Pd-Cu: APC) alloy.
[0123] On the planarization layer 3700, a bank layer 3800 that covers the edge of the first electrode 4100 is formed. The bank layer 3800 exposes the center of the first electrode 4100 corresponding to the pixel region.
[0124] An intermediate layer 4300 is formed on the first electrode 4100. Optionally, the organic light-emitting device 4000 may have a tandem structure. For the tandem structure, refer to FIGS. 2 to 4 showing exemplary embodiments of the present invention and the above description related thereto.
[0125] A second electrode 4200 is formed on top of the substrate 3010 on which the intermediate layer 4300 is formed. The second electrode 4200 is located over the entire display area and is made of a conductive material having a relatively small work function value and can be used as a cathode. For example, the second electrode 4200 may be made of any one of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), and an aluminum-magnesium alloy (Al-Mg).
[0126] The first electrode 4100, the intermediate layer 4300, and the second electrode 4200 form the organic light-emitting device 4000.
[0127] A sealing film 3900 is formed on the second electrode 4200 to prevent external moisture from penetrating into the organic light-emitting device 4000. Although not explicitly shown in FIG. 4, the sealing film 3900 may have a triple-layer structure in which a first inorganic layer, an intermediate layer, and an inorganic layer are sequentially stacked, and is not limited thereto.
[0128] Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described. However, the following examples are only illustrative of the present invention and are not limited thereto.
Example
[0129] Example 1 Before use, the ITO substrate was cleaned with UV ozone and then loaded into an evaporation system. Subsequently, the substrate was transferred into a vacuum evaporation chamber to deposit any other layers on top of the substrate. Under a vacuum of about 10 -7 Torr, the following layers were deposited by evaporation from a heating boat in the following order.
[0130] On the prepared ITO transparent electrode, HATCN (see the following structure) was thermally vacuum-deposited as a hole injection material to form a 100 Å thick hole injection layer. Then, HTL (see the following structure) was thermally vacuum-deposited as a hole transport material to form a 700 Å thick hole transport layer. Subsequently, using RD6 as a dopant and a mixed material of RHH1 and REH1 (RHH1:REH1 = 1:1, weight basis) as a host, a 300 Å thick light-emitting layer was formed. The doping concentration of the dopant in the light-emitting layer was 10 wt%. Then, Alq3 (see the following structure) as an electron transport material and LiF as an electron injection material were sequentially thermally vacuum-deposited to form a 300 Å thick electron transport layer and a 10 Å thick electron injection layer. After that, 1000 Å thick aluminum was deposited to form a negative electrode, and an organic light-emitting device having an ITO / hole injection layer / hole transport layer / light-emitting layer / electron transport layer / electron injection layer / negative electrode structure was fabricated. After depositing each layer, in order to form a film, it was transferred from the deposition chamber to a drying box, and subsequently, it was sealed using UV-curable epoxy and a moisture getter.
[0131] Examples 2 to 144 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 Except for using the dopant materials and host materials described in Tables 1 to 8 below in Example 1, organic light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 and Examples 2 to 144 were fabricated in the same manner as in Example 1. The mixing ratio of the host materials in Examples 2 to 144 was 1:1 (weight basis). In Comparative Examples 1 to 4, one kind of "CBP" having the following structure was used as the host of the light-emitting layer, respectively.
[0132] The materials used in the above Examples 1 - 144 and Comparative Examples 1 - 4 are as follows.

[0133] Experimental Example The organic light-emitting devices manufactured in Examples 1 to 144 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 respectively have a light-emitting area of 9 mm 2 . Each organic light-emitting device is connected to an external power supply, and the device characteristics are evaluated at room temperature using a current supply source (KEITHLEY) and a photometer PR650, and the results are shown in Tables 1 to 8 below. When a DC voltage was applied, light emission with characteristics as shown in Tables 1 to 8 below was confirmed.
[0134] Specifically, the driving voltage (V), external quantum efficiency (EQE), and lifetime characteristics (LT95) were measured with a current density of 10 mA / cm 2 as a reference, and the measured values of Examples 1 to 144 were calculated as relative values (percentage, %) with respect to any one of Comparative Examples 1 to 4, and the results are shown in Tables 1 to 8 below.
[0135] The LT95 lifetime means the time it takes for the organic light-emitting device to lose 5% of its initial brightness at 40 °C and a reference of 40 mA / cm 2 (the lifetime time from 100% to 95%). LT95 is the most difficult device characteristic specification to meet and determines whether the burn-in phenomenon of the organic light-emitting device occurs or not.
