Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an organic electroluminescent device containing a deuterated compound.

Background Art

[0002] The small molecule green organic electroluminescent device (OLED) was first developed in 1987 by Tang et al. of Eastman Kodak by using a TPD / ALq3 bilayer composed of a light emitting layer and a charge transport layer. Thereafter, the development of OLEDs has advanced rapidly and reached commercialization. Currently, OLEDs mainly use phosphorescent materials having excellent luminous efficiency in panel mounting. However, in various applications such as televisions and lighting, the lifespan of OLEDs is often insufficient, and further improvement in the efficiency of OLEDs is still required. Generally, the lifespan of an OLED becomes shorter as the luminance increases. Therefore, an OLED having high luminous efficiency and / or a long lifespan is essential for long-term use and high-resolution displays.

[0003] In order to improve current efficiency and / or lifespan, various materials or concepts have been proposed for the organic layers of organic electroluminescent devices, but they have not been satisfactory in actual use. In addition, compared with the combinations of specific compounds disclosed in the past, the development of organic electroluminescent devices with improved performance such as improved current efficiency and / or lifespan characteristics has been continuously demanded.

[0004] On the other hand, (Patent Document 1), (Patent Document 2), and (Patent Document 3) disclose organic electroluminescent devices containing deuterated compounds. Nevertheless, the above documents do not specifically disclose an organic electroluminescent device having the stability of the whole device by including a deuterated compound in the electron transport zone. In addition, compared with the specific organic electroluminescent devices disclosed in the past, the development of light emitting materials with improved performance such as improved lifespan characteristics has been continuously demanded.

"Heteroaryl(ene)" can be classified into heteroaryl(ene) having electron properties and heteroaryl(ene) having hole properties. Heteroaryl(ene) having electron properties has a nucleophilic substituent that is relatively rich in electrons, such as substituted or unsubstituted pyridyl, substituted or unsubstituted pyrimidinyl, substituted or unsubstituted triazinyl, substituted or unsubstituted quinazolinyl, substituted or unsubstituted quinoxalinyl, or substituted or unsubstituted quinolyl, etc. Heteroaryl(ene) having hole properties has a nucleophilic substituent that is relatively poor in electrons, such as substituted or unsubstituted carbazolyl, substituted or unsubstituted dibenzofuranyl, substituted or unsubstituted dibenzothiophenyl, etc. In the present disclosure, the term "halogen" includes F, Cl, Br, and I.,

[0016] In addition, "ortho-" ("o-"), "meta-" ("m-"), and "para-" ("p-") are prefixes that represent the relative positions of substituents. The prefix "ortho-" indicates that two substituents are adjacent to each other. For example, when two substituents of a benzene derivative occupy the 1st and 2nd positions or the 2nd and 3rd positions, it is called the ortho arrangement. The prefix "meta-" represents that two substituents are at the 1st and 3rd positions. For example, when two substituents of a benzene derivative occupy the 1st and 3rd positions, this is called the "meta-" arrangement.

The hole injection layer may be composed of multiple layers for the purpose of reducing the hole injection barrier (or hole injection voltage) from the anode to the hole transport layer or the electron blocking layer, and each layer may use two compounds simultaneously. In addition, the hole injection layer may be doped with a p-type dopant. The electron blocking layer may be disposed between the hole transport layer (or hole injection layer) and the light emitting layer, and may prevent the overflow of electrons from the light emitting layer, confine excitons in the light emitting layer, and prevent light leakage. The hole transport layer or the electron blocking layer may use multiple layers, and multiple compounds may be used for each layer.

[0082] An electron transport zone including an electron buffer layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, or a combination thereof is included between the light emitting layer and the cathode. The electron buffer layer may be multiple layers for controlling the injection of electrons and improving the interfacial properties between the light emitting layer and the electron injection layer. In this case, two compounds may be used simultaneously in each of the multiple layers. A hole blocking layer is disposed between the electron transport layer (or electron injection layer) and the light emitting layer, which is a layer that blocks the arrival of holes at the cathode, thereby improving the probability of recombination of electrons and holes in the light emitting layer. Also, the hole blocking layer or the electron transport layer may use multiple layers, and multiple compounds may be used for each layer. In addition, the electron injection layer may be doped with an n-type dopant.

[0083] The light-emitting auxiliary layer can be a layer disposed between the anode and the light-emitting layer, between the cathode and the light-emitting layer, or between the cathode and the light-emitting layer. When the light-emitting auxiliary layer is disposed between the anode and the light-emitting layer, the light-emitting auxiliary layer can be used to promote hole injection and / or hole transport, or to prevent electron overflow. When the light-emitting auxiliary layer is disposed between the cathode and the light-emitting layer, the light-emitting auxiliary layer can be used to promote electron injection and / or electron transport, or to prevent hole overflow. In addition, the hole auxiliary layer is disposed between the hole transport layer (or hole injection layer) and the light-emitting layer, and can exhibit the effect of promoting or blocking the hole transport rate (or hole injection rate), thereby adjusting the charge balance. When the organic electroluminescent device includes two or more hole transport layers, the further included hole transport layer can be used as a hole auxiliary layer or an electron blocking layer. The light-emitting auxiliary layer, the hole auxiliary layer, or the electron blocking layer can have the effect of improving the efficiency and / or lifespan of the organic electroluminescent device.

[0084] In the organic electroluminescent device of the present disclosure, at least one layer selected from a chalcogenide layer, a metal halide layer, and a metal oxide layer (hereinafter referred to as "surface layer") is preferably disposed on the inner surface of at least one of the pair of electrodes. Specifically, the chalcogenide (including oxide) layer of silicon and aluminum is preferably disposed on the anode surface on the electroluminescent medium layer side, and the metal halide layer or the metal oxide layer is preferably disposed on the cathode surface on the electroluminescent medium layer side. The driving stability in the organic electroluminescent device can be obtained by the surface layer. Preferred examples of the chalcogenide include SiO X (1 ≦ X ≦ 2), AlO X (1 ≦ X ≦ 1.5), SiON, SiAlON, etc.; preferred examples of the metal halide include LiF, MgF2, CaF2, rare earth metal fluorides, etc., and preferred examples of the metal oxide include Cs2O, Li2O, MgO, SrO, BaO, CaO, etc.

[0085] In addition, in the organic electroluminescent device of the present disclosure, the mixed region of the electron transport compound and the reducing dopant or the mixed region of the hole transport compound and the oxidizing dopant can be disposed on at least one surface of the pair of electrodes. In this case, the electron transport compound is reduced to an anion, and as a result, it becomes easier to inject and transport electrons from the mixed region to the light-emitting medium. Further, the hole transport compound is oxidized to a cation, and as a result, it becomes easier to inject and transport holes from the mixed region to the light-emitting medium. Preferred oxidizing dopants include various Lewis acids and acceptor compounds, and preferred reducing dopants include alkali metals, alkali metal compounds, alkaline earth metals, rare earth metals, and mixtures thereof. In addition, by using the reducing dopant layer as a charge generation layer, an organic electroluminescent device having at least two light-emitting layers and emitting white light can be manufactured.

[0086] The organic electroluminescent device according to the present disclosure may be an organic electroluminescent device having a tandem structure. In the case of a tandem organic electroluminescent device according to one embodiment, a single light-emitting unit (light-emitting portion) may be formed in a structure in which two or more units are connected by a charge generation layer. The organic electroluminescent device includes a first electrode and a second electrode facing each other on a substrate, and a light-emitting layer laminated between the first electrode and the second electrode and emitting light in a specific wavelength range. It may include a plurality of two or more light-emitting units, for example, a plurality of three or more light-emitting units. This may include a plurality of light-emitting units, and each of the light-emitting units may include a hole transport zone, a light-emitting layer, and an electron transport zone. The hole transport zone may include a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer, and the electron transport zone may include an electron transport layer and an electron injection layer. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, three or more light-emitting layers may be included in the light-emitting unit. The plurality of light-emitting units may emit the same color or different colors. In addition, one light-emitting unit may include one or more light-emitting layers, and the plurality of light-emitting layers may be light-emitting layers of the same color or different colors. This may include one or more charge generation layers disposed between each light-emitting unit. The charge generation layer refers to a layer in which holes and electrons are generated when a voltage is applied. When there are three or more light-emitting units, the charge generation layer can be disposed between each light-emitting unit. Here, the plurality of charge generation layers may be the same as or different from each other. By disposing the charge generation layer between the light-emitting units, the current efficiency can be increased in each light-emitting unit, and the charge can be smoothly distributed. Specifically, the charge generation layer is provided between two adjacent stacks and can help drive a tandem organic electroluminescent device using only a pair of an anode and a cathode without a separate internal electrode disposed between the stacks.

[0087] The charge generation layer may be composed of an N-type charge generation layer and a P-type charge generation layer. The N-type charge generation layer may be doped with an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or a compound of an alkali metal and an alkaline earth metal. The alkali metal can include one selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr, Yb, and combinations thereof, and the alkaline earth metal can include one selected from the group consisting of Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra, and combinations thereof. The P-type charge generation layer can be manufactured from a metal or an organic material doped with a p-type dopant. For example, the metal may be made of one or two or more alloys selected from the group consisting of Al, Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn, Au, Pt, W, In, Mo, Ni, and Ti. Moreover, commonly used materials can be used as the host materials for p-type dopants and p-type doped organic materials.

[0088] The manufacturing method of the organic electroluminescent device of the present disclosure is not limited. The manufacturing methods of the device examples described below are merely examples and the methods are not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can reasonably modify the manufacturing methods of the device examples described below by relying on existing technologies. For example, there are no specific restrictions on the mixing ratio of the first compound and the second compound, and those skilled in the art can reasonably select it within a certain range according to existing technologies. For example, based on the total weight of the light-emitting layer material, the total weight of the first compound and the second compound accounts for 99.5% - 80.0% of the total weight of the light-emitting layer, and the weight ratio of the first compound to the second compound is 1:99 - 99:1. The weight ratio of the first compound to the second compound may be 20:80 - 99:1, or the weight ratio of the first compound to the second compound may be 50:50 - 90:10. In the manufacture of the device, when forming the light-emitting layer by co-depositing two or more host materials and a light-emitting material, the two or more host materials and the light-emitting material can be respectively placed in different evaporation sources and co-deposited to form the light-emitting layer, or a pre-mixed mixture of two or more host materials can be placed on the same evaporation source and then co-deposited with the light-emitting material placed on another evaporation source to form the light-emitting layer. This pre-mixing method can further save evaporation sources. According to one embodiment, the first compound, the second compound, and the light-emitting material of the present disclosure can be respectively placed in different evaporation sources and co-deposited to form the light-emitting layer, or a pre-mixed mixture of the first compound and the second compound can be placed in the same evaporation source and then co-deposited with the light-emitting material placed in another evaporation source to form the light-emitting layer.

[0089] To form each layer of the organic electroluminescent device of the present disclosure, dry film formation methods such as vacuum evaporation, sputtering, plasma, ion plating method, etc., or wet film formation methods such as spin coating, dip coating, flow coating method, etc. can be used. When using a wet film formation method, the thin film can be formed by dissolving or diffusing the material for forming each layer in any suitable solvent such as ethanol, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, etc. The solvent may be any solvent in which the material for forming each layer can be dissolved or diffused and there is no problem with film forming ability.

[0090] When forming a film of an organic electroluminescent material according to an embodiment, the film can be formed by the methods listed above and can generally be formed by a co-deposition or mixed deposition process. Co-deposition is a mixed deposition method in which two or more materials are placed in another crucible source and current is passed through two cells simultaneously to evaporate the materials; mixed deposition is a method in which two or more materials are mixed in one crucible source before deposition and then current is passed through one cell to evaporate the materials.

[0091] Hereinafter, for a detailed understanding of the present disclosure, the method for preparing a compound according to the present disclosure will be described using the synthesis of representative compounds or intermediate compounds of the present disclosure as examples.

First, an indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film (10 Ω / sq) (manufactured by Geomatic Co., Ltd., Japan) on a glass substrate for the OLED was subjected to ultrasonic cleaning sequentially with acetone and isopropyl alcohol, and then stored in isopropyl alcohol. The ITO substrate was mounted on the substrate holder of a vacuum evaporation apparatus. Compound HI (p-dopant) was introduced into the cell of the vacuum evaporation apparatus, and compound HT’-1 was introduced into another cell. The two materials were evaporated at different rates, and compound HI was deposited at a doping amount of 3 wt% based on the total amount of compound HI and compound HT’-1 to form a hole injection layer with a thickness of 10 nm. Thereafter, compound HT’-1 was deposited on the hole injection layer to form a first hole transport layer with a thickness of 80 nm. Next, the compound shown in Table 5 was introduced into another cell of the vacuum evaporation apparatus as the second hole transport layer, and current was passed through the cell to evaporate it, thereby depositing it with a thickness of 30 nm. After forming the hole injection layer and the hole transport layer, an emission layer was deposited thereon as follows. The compound shown in Table 5 below was introduced into the cell of the vacuum evaporation apparatus at a ratio of 2:1 as a host, and compound GD was introduced into another cell as a dopant. The materials were evaporated at different rates, and the dopant was deposited at a doping amount of 10 wt% based on the total amount of the host and the dopant to form an emission layer having a thickness of 40 nm on the second hole transport layer. The compound shown in Table 5 was deposited with a thickness of 5 nm as an electron buffer layer, and then compound EI-1 and compound Liq were introduced into two different cells and evaporated at a ratio of 1:1 to deposit an electron transport layer having a thickness of 35 nm on the emission layer. Compound Liq was introduced and deposited with a thickness of 2 nm as an electron injection layer on the electron transport layer, and then an Al cathode was deposited with a thickness of 80 nm by using another vacuum evaporation apparatus, thereby fabricating the OLED. All the materials used for fabricating the OLED were purified by vacuum sublimation in toluene. -6 Purified by vacuum sublimation in toluene.

[0135] Comparative Example 6: Fabrication of an OLED Containing a Conventional Compound An OLED was fabricated in the same manner as in Device Example 6, except that the hole transport layer, the host material of the emission layer, and the electron buffer layer were fabricated from light hydrogen materials.
