Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a heterocyclic compound, an organic light-emitting device containing the same, and a composition for an organic layer.
Background Art
[0002] An organic light-emitting device is a type of self-luminous display device, which has advantages such as a wide viewing angle, excellent contrast, and a fast response speed.
[0003] An organic light-emitting device has a structure in which an organic thin film is disposed between two electrodes. When a voltage is applied to an organic light-emitting device having such a structure, electrons and holes injected from the two electrodes combine to form a pair in the organic thin film, and then emit light while disappearing. The organic thin film can be configured as a single layer or multiple layers as needed.
[0004] The material of the organic thin film can have a light-emitting function as needed. For example, as the material of the organic thin film, a compound that can itself form a light-emitting layer alone may be used, or a compound that can serve as a host or a dopant in a host-dopant type light-emitting layer may be used. In addition, as the material of the organic thin film, a compound that can serve roles such as hole injection, hole transport, electron blocking, hole blocking, electron transport, and electron injection may be used.
[0005] In order to improve the performance, lifespan, or efficiency of an organic light-emitting device, the development of materials for organic thin films has been continuously demanded.

[0294] Experimental Example 1. Experimental Example 1-1. Fabrication of Organic Light-Emitting Device The transparent electrode ITO thin film obtained from glass for OLED (manufactured by Samsung Corning) was ultrasonically cleaned for more than 5 minutes each using trichloroethylene, acetone, ethanol, and distilled water in sequence, and then stored in isopropanol and used after that. Next, the ITO substrate was placed in the substrate folder of the vacuum evaporation apparatus. 4,4',4"-tris(N,N-(2-naphthyl)-phenylamino)triphenyl amine (2-TNATA) was placed in the cell inside the vacuum evaporation apparatus.
[0295]

[0305] [Compound of Comparative Example]
Chem.
[0306] From the results in Table 5 above, the blue organic light-emitting devices of Examples 1 to 27 using the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention as the hole transport layer had a lower driving voltage, and significantly better luminous efficiency and lifespan compared to Comparative Examples 1 to 6. Specifically, the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention can suppress the π-π stacking of aromatic rings and prevent the phenomenon of deterioration of the characteristics of the organic light-emitting device. Therefore, an organic light-emitting device using the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention as the hole transport layer can achieve low driving voltage, high luminous efficiency, and high lifespan characteristics.
[0307] The H1 compound of Comparative Example 2 does not contain an arylamine group corresponding to Chemical Formula 2, but contains a triazine group instead of the arylamine group. The H2 compound of Comparative Example 3 has a core structure different from that of the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention. The H3 compound of Comparative Example 4 contains two carbazole groups corresponding to Chemical Formula 3. The H4 compound of Comparative Example 5 has an Ar2 or Ar3 of the arylamine group corresponding to Chemical Formula 2 containing a heteroaryl group.

[0308] NPB used as a compound for the conventional hole transport layer and the compounds of Comparative Examples 2 to 6 have a core structure or substituents different from those of the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention, and thus showed a higher driving voltage, lower luminous efficiency, and shorter lifespan than the present invention.
[0309] From the above results, it can be seen that an organic light-emitting device containing the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention as the hole transport layer exhibits low driving voltage, high luminous efficiency, and high lifespan characteristics.
[0310] Experimental Example 2. Experimental Example 2-1. Fabrication of Organic Light-Emitting Device The transparent electrode ITO thin film obtained from glass for OLED (manufactured by Samsung Corning) was ultrasonically cleaned for more than 5 minutes each using trichloroethylene, acetone, ethanol, and distilled water in sequence, then stored in isopropanol and used after that. The ITO substrate was placed in the substrate folder of the vacuum evaporation apparatus, and 4,4',4"-tris(N,N-(2-naphthyl)-phenylamino)triphenyl amine (2-TNATA) was put in.
[0311]
Chemical formula
[0312] After that, after evacuating until the degree of vacuum in the chamber reached 10 -6 torr, a current was applied to the cell to evaporate 2-TNATA, and a 600 Å-thick hole injection layer was deposited on the ITO substrate. N,N'-bis(α-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPB) was put in another cell in the vacuum evaporation apparatus, a current was applied to the cell to evaporate it, and a 250 Å-thick hole transport layer was deposited on the hole injection layer.
[0313]
Chemical formula
[0314] Next, as an electron blocking layer, the compound represented by Chemical formula 1 shown in Table 6 or the comparative example compound was deposited with a thickness of 50 Å. On top of that, a blue light-emitting material with the following structure was deposited as a light-emitting layer. Specifically, BH1, which is a blue light-emitting host material, was vacuum-deposited with a thickness of 200 Å in one cell in the vacuum evaporation apparatus, and on top of that, D1, which is a blue light-emitting dopant material, was vacuum-deposited at 5% with respect to the host material.
[0315] [Chemical formula]
[0316] Thereafter, a compound of the following structural formula E1 was deposited as an electron transport layer with a thickness of 300 Å.
[0317] [Chemical formula]
[0318] Thereafter, lithium fluoride (LiF) was deposited as an electron injection layer with a thickness of 10 Å, and Al was deposited with a thickness of 1000 Å to form a cathode, thereby fabricating an organic light-emitting device.
[0319] On the other hand, all the organic compounds required for the fabrication of the organic light-emitting device were vacuum sublimation purified under 10 -6 ~10 -6 torr and used for the fabrication of the organic light-emitting device.
[0320] Experimental Example 2-2. Driving Voltage and Luminescence Efficiency of Organic Light-Emitting Device Regarding the organic electroluminescent device fabricated as described above, the electroluminescence (EL) characteristics were measured with an Mcscience M7000, and based on the measurement results, the lifetime T 2 , which is the time when the initial luminance becomes 95% with respect to the reference luminance of 700 cd / m 95 , was measured through a lifetime measurement device (M6000) manufactured by Mcscience.
[0321] The measured results of the driving voltage, luminous efficiency, and lifetime (T 95 ) of the blue organic light-emitting device fabricated by the above manufacturing method are as shown in Table 6.
[0322] [Table 12]
[0323] [Comparative Example Compound] [Chemical formula]
[0324] From the results in Table 6 above, the blue organic light-emitting devices of Examples 28 to 54 using the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention as an electron blocking layer had a lower driving voltage, significantly better luminous efficiency and lifespan compared to Comparative Examples 7 to 11. In the case of electrons, when they pass through the hole transport layer without being combined in the light-emitting layer and reach the anode, a phenomenon occurs where the efficiency and lifespan of the organic light-emitting device decrease. When a compound having a high LUMO level is used as the electron blocking layer, electrons trying to reach the anode after passing through the light-emitting layer are blocked by the energy barrier of the electron blocking layer, and the above phenomenon can be prevented. That is, the probability of holes and electrons forming an exciton increases, and the possibility of being emitted as light from the light-emitting layer increases. Since the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention is a compound having a high LUMO level, the above phenomenon can be prevented. Therefore, an organic light-emitting device using the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention as an electron blocking layer can obtain low driving voltage, high luminous efficiency and high lifespan characteristics.
[0325] As described above in Experimental Example 1, Comparative Example Compounds H1 to H5 have a core structure or substituents different from those of the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention. Therefore, they showed a lower LUMO level than the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention, and had a higher driving voltage, lower luminous efficiency and shorter lifespan than the present invention.
[0326] From the above results, it can be seen that an organic light-emitting device containing the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention as an electron blocking layer exhibits low driving voltage, high luminous efficiency and high lifespan characteristics.
[0327] Experimental Example 3. Experimental Example 3-1. Fabrication of Organic Light-Emitting Device A glass substrate coated with a 1,500 Å-thick ITO thin film was cleaned with ultrasonic distilled water. After the distilled water cleaning was completed, ultrasonic cleaning was performed with solvents such as acetone, methanol, and isopropyl alcohol and then dried. After that, UVO (Ultraviolet Ozone) treatment was carried out using UV in a UV cleaner for 5 minutes. Then, the substrate was transferred to a plasma cleaner (PT), and plasma treatment was performed in a vacuum state for ITO work function and residual film removal, and then transferred to a thermal evaporation apparatus for organic vapor deposition.
[0328] On the ITO transparent electrode (positive electrode), 4,4',4''-tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine (4,4'',4''-Tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine), 2-TNATA) was formed as a hole injection layer which is a common layer, N,N'-bis(α-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPB) was formed as a hole transport layer, and cyclohexylidenebis[N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)benzenamine] (TAPC) was formed as an electron blocking layer.
[0329] [Chemical formula]
[0330] On it, the light-emitting layer was thermally vacuum-deposited as follows. For the light-emitting layer, two compounds described in Table 7 below were deposited from one source as a red host, (piq)2(Ir)(acac) was used as a red phosphorescent dopant, and the host was doped with 3 wt% of the Ir compound and deposited to a thickness of 400 Å. Thereafter, Bphen was deposited to a thickness of 30 Å as a hole-blocking layer, and TPBI was deposited thereon to a thickness of 250 Å as an electron-transporting layer. Finally, lithium fluoride (LiF) was deposited to a thickness of 10 Å on the electron-transporting layer to form an electron-injecting layer, and then aluminum (Al) was deposited to a thickness of 1,200 Å on the electron-injecting layer to form a negative electrode, thereby manufacturing an organic electroluminescent device.
[0331]
Chem.
[0332] On the other hand, all the organic compounds required for fabricating the OLED device were purified by vacuum sublimation at 10 -6 ~10 -6 torr for each material and used for fabricating the OLED (Organic Light Emitting Device).
[0333] Experimental Example 3-2. Driving Voltage and Luminescence Efficiency of Organic Light-Emitting Device Regarding the organic electroluminescent device fabricated as described above, the electroluminescence (EL) characteristics were measured using M7000 of Mcscience Co., Ltd., and through the lifetime measuring device (M6000) manufactured by Mcscience Co., Ltd. with the measurement results, when the reference luminance was 6,000 cd / m 2 T 90 was measured. The measurement results of the driving voltage, luminous efficiency, color coordinates (CIE), and lifetime of the organic light-emitting device manufactured according to the present invention are shown in Table 7 below. The T 90 means the lifetime (unit: hour) which is the time to reach 90% of the initial luminance.

Table 14
[0336] [Comparative Example Compounds] [Chemical Formula]
[0337] From the results in Table 7 above, in Examples 55 to 85 of the red organic light-emitting devices in which the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention was used as a P-type host and the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 4 was used as an N-type host in the light-emitting layer, and these were mixed and used as the light-emitting layer, the driving voltage was lower and the luminous efficiency and lifetime were significantly superior compared to Comparative Examples 12 to 16.
[0338] When a donor (p-host) with good hole transport ability and an acceptor (n-host) with good electron transport ability are used as the host of the light-emitting layer, due to the exciplex phenomenon of the two compounds, holes are injected into the p-host and electrons are injected into the n-host, so the charge balance in the device can be adjusted. Therefore, it was found that when an N-type host compound having appropriate electron transfer characteristics and a P-type host compound having appropriate hole transfer characteristics are combined at an appropriate ratio, it is helpful for improving the driving efficiency and lifetime.
[0339] As described above in Experimental Example 1, Comparative Example Compounds H1 to H5 have a core structure or substituents different from those of the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention. Therefore, they showed lower hole transport ability than the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention, had a higher driving voltage than the present invention, and showed lower luminous efficiency and lifetime.
[0340] From the above results, it can be seen that the organic light-emitting device containing the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention and the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 4 in the light-emitting layer simultaneously exhibits low driving voltage, high luminous efficiency and high lifetime characteristics.
