Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present specification relates to an organic light-emitting device, a composition for an organic layer of an organic light-emitting device, and a method for producing an organic light-emitting device. This application claims the benefit of the filing dates of Korean Patent Applications Nos. 10-2024-0012153 and 10-2024-0154120, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on January 26, 2024 and November 4, 2024, respectively, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]

[0002] The light-emitting element is a type of self-luminous display element, and has the advantages of a wide viewing angle, excellent contrast, and fast response speed. 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 in the organic thin film to form pairs, and then annihilate, emitting light. The organic thin film may be configured as a single layer or multiple layers as needed.

[0003] The material of the organic thin film may have a light-emitting function as needed. For example, the material of the organic thin film may be a compound that can constitute an emitting layer by itself, or a compound that can function as a host or dopant in a host-dopant emitting layer. In addition, the material of the organic thin film may be a compound that can function as a hole injection, hole transport, electron blocking, hole blocking, electron transport, electron injection, etc. To improve the performance, lifetime, or efficiency of organic light-emitting devices, there is a continuing need to develop materials for organic thin films.

[Effects of the Invention]

[0009] An organic light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present application includes an organic material layer, and the organic material layer contains a heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula A and a heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula B.

[Figure 2] 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a stacked structure of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present specification. [Figure 3] 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a stacked structure of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present specification. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The present specification will be explained in more detail below. In this specification, unless otherwise specified, when a part "comprises" a certain component, it does not mean that it may further include other components, but does not exclude other components.

[0014] In this specification, the chemical formula [ka] means the binding position.

[0015] The term "substituted" means that a hydrogen atom bonded to a carbon atom of a compound is replaced with another substituent, and the position of the substitution is not limited as long as it is a position at which a hydrogen atom is substituted, i.e., a position at which a substituent can be substituted, and when two or more substituents are substituted, the two or more substituents may be the same or different.

[0016] In this specification, the term "substituted or unsubstituted" means being substituted or unsubstituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of deuterium; a halogen group; a cyano group; an alkyl group having 1 to 60 carbon atoms; an alkenyl group having 2 to 60 carbon atoms; an alkynyl group having 2 to 60 carbon atoms; a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 60 carbon atoms; a heterocycloalkyl group having 2 to 60 carbon atoms; an aryl group having 6 to 60 carbon atoms; a heteroaryl group having 2 to 60 carbon atoms; a silyl group; a phosphine oxide group; and an amine group, or with a substituent in which two or more substituents selected from the above-mentioned exemplary substituents are linked together.

[0017] In this specification, when "no substituent is shown in the chemical formula or compound structure," it means that a hydrogen atom is bonded to a carbon atom. However, deuterium ( 2 H, Deuterium) or tritium are isotopes of hydrogen, so unless they are specifically excluded, they can be interpreted as concepts included in hydrogen.

[0018] That is, in this application, according to Chem.Commun., 2014, 50, 14870, deuterium exhibits equivalent effects or improved effects in some evaluation criteria in terms of driving voltage, luminous efficiency, and lifespan compared to hydrogen, and falls within the range that a person of ordinary skill in the art would predict to have equivalent effects without specific experiments. Therefore, deuterium, which is an isotope of hydrogen, is interpreted as a concept included in hydrogen unless it is explicitly excluded.

[0019] According to one embodiment of the present specification, "when no substituent is shown in the chemical formula or compound structure," may mean that all positions available as a substituent are hydrogen or deuterium. That is, in the case of deuterium, it is an isotope of hydrogen, and some hydrogen atoms may be deuterium, which is an isotope of hydrogen, and in this case, the content of deuterium may be 0% to 100%.

[0020] According to one embodiment of the present specification, in the case where "substituents are not displayed in the chemical formula or structure of a compound," if deuterium is not clearly excluded, such as when the deuterium content is 0%, the hydrogen content is 100%, or all substituents are hydrogen, hydrogen and deuterium may be used together in the compound.

[0021] According to one embodiment of the present specification, deuterium is one of the isotopes of hydrogen, and is an element having a deuteron consisting of one proton and one neutron as an atomic nucleus, and may be represented by hydrogen-2, and its atomic symbol is D or 2 It may also be written as H.

[0022] According to one embodiment of the present specification, isotopes, which refer to atoms with the same atomic number (Z) but different mass numbers (A), can be interpreted as elements with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

[0023] According to one embodiment of the present specification, the content T% of a specific substituent can be defined as T2 / T1×100=T%, where T1 is the total number of substituents that the base compound may have and T2 is the number of specific substituents among the total number of substituents.

[0024] That is, [ka] Taking the phenyl group represented by the formula below as an example, a deuterium content of 20% can be expressed as 20% when the total number of substituents that the phenyl group can have is 5 (T1 in the formula), of which the number of deuterium is 1 (T2 in the formula). That is, a phenyl group with a deuterium content of 20% may be represented by the following structural formula. [ka]

[0025] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present specification, a "phenyl group having a deuterium content of 0%" may refer to a phenyl group that does not contain a deuterium atom, i.e., a phenyl group that has five hydrogen atoms.

[0044] Specific examples of the silyl group include: [ka] These include, but are not limited to:

[0045] In this specification, the phosphine oxide group is represented by -P(=O)(R104)(R105), where R104 and R105 may be the same or different and each independently represent at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium, a halogen group, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkoxy group, a cycloalkyl group, a heterocycloalkyl group, an aryl group, and a heteroaryl group. Specifically, the phosphine oxide group may be substituted with an alkyl group or an aryl group, and the alkyl group and aryl group may be as exemplified above. For example, the phosphine oxide group may include, but is not limited to, a dimethylphosphine oxide group, a diphenylphosphine oxide group, and a dinaphthylphosphine oxide group.

[0046] In this specification, the amine group is represented by -N(R106)(R107), where R106 and R107 may be the same or different and each independently represent at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium, a halogen group, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkoxy group, a cycloalkyl group, a heterocycloalkyl group, an aryl group, and a heteroaryl group. The amine group may be selected from the group consisting of -NH2, a monoalkylamine group, a monoarylamine group, a monoheteroarylamine group, a dialkylamine group, a diarylamine group, a diheteroarylamine group, an alkylarylamine group, an alkylheteroarylamine group, and an arylheteroarylamine group. The number of carbon atoms is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 30. Specific examples of the amine group include, but are not limited to, a methylamine group, a dimethylamine group, an ethylamine group, a diethylamine group, a phenylamine group, a naphthylamine group, a biphenylamine group, a dibiphenylamine group, an anthracenylamine group, a 9-methyl-anthracenylamine group, a diphenylamine group, a phenylnaphthylamine group, a ditolylamine group, a phenyltolylamine group, a triphenylamine group, a biphenylnaphthylamine group, a phenylbiphenylamine group, a biphenylfluorenylamine group, a phenyltriphenylenylamine group, and a biphenyltriphenylenylamine group.

[0047] In this specification, the arylene group may be any of the examples of the aryl group described above, except that the arylene group is a divalent group.

[0048] In this specification, the heteroarylene group may be any of the examples of the heteroaryl group described above, except that the heteroarylene group is a divalent group.

[0049] As used herein, the term "adjacent" groups may refer to a substituent substituted on an atom directly linked to the atom on which the substituent is substituted, a substituent sterically closest to the substituent, or another substituent substituted on the atom on which the substituent is substituted. For example, two substituents substituted at ortho positions on a benzene ring and two substituents substituted on the same carbon atom on an aliphatic ring can be interpreted as groups "adjacent" to each other.

[0050] The hydrocarbon rings and hetero rings that can form adjacent groups include aliphatic hydrocarbon rings, aromatic hydrocarbon rings, aliphatic hetero rings, and aromatic hetero rings, and the structures exemplified above as the cycloalkyl group, aryl group, heterocycloalkyl group, and heteroaryl group, respectively, may be applied, except that the rings are not monovalent groups. In one embodiment of the present specification, a group not represented by a substituent or a group represented by hydrogen can be substituted with deuterium. That is, hydrogen (H) and deuterium (D) can be substituted with each other.

[0051] In general, there is a difference in thermodynamic behavior between hydrogen-bonded compounds and deuterium-substituted compounds. This is because the mass of a deuterium atom is twice as large as that of hydrogen, and due to the difference in atomic mass, deuterium has the characteristic of having lower vibrational energy.

[0052] In addition, the bond dissociation energy between carbon and deuterium is higher than that between carbon and hydrogen, so the deuterium-substituted structure increases the thermal stability of the molecule, improving the lifespan of devices using it.

[0053] When a compound is deposited on a silicon wafer, substances containing deuterium tend to be packed closer together with tighter intermolecular distances. Also, when observing the thin film surface with an atomic force microscope (AFM), it can be seen that thin films made from compounds containing deuterium are deposited on a more uniform surface without any aggregates.

[0054] <Organic light-emitting element> The organic light-emitting device according to the present specification will be described below. The organic material layer of the organic light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present specification contains a heterocyclic compound represented by the following chemical formula A. [ka] In the above chemical formula A, the explanation of each substituent is as described above.

[0055] The heterocyclic compound represented by the chemical formula A is a 2-substituted naphthobenzofuran, [ka] acts as a donor unit to increase the electron density of the aromatic unit, shift the HOMO energy level toward the vacuum level, and enhance the hole-generating properties. [ka] is substituted at various positions on the core skeleton, which changes the thermal properties of the material, such as the glass transition temperature and thermal decomposition temperature, thereby increasing thermal stability, and by changing the length of the conjugated structure and molecular orientation, the hole properties are improved, resulting in an overall display of excellent electron and hole transport properties.

[0056] When a heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula A, which has excellent hole transport properties, is used together with a heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula B, which has fast electron transport properties, it acts as a P-type host material, making it easy to balance the number of holes and electrons in the organic layer (especially the light-emitting layer (EML)), thereby maximizing hole transport properties and electron transport properties. As a result, charge balance occurs within the organic layer, preventing degradation caused by the accumulation of electrons and holes. As a result, exciton generation efficiency increases, resulting in high efficiency and long life.

[0057] The organic material layer of the organic light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present specification contains a heterocyclic compound represented by the following chemical formula B. [ka] In the above chemical formula B, the explanation of each substituent is as described above.

[0058] The compound represented by the chemical formula B is a 2-substituted oxygen-containing condensed heterocycle (dibenzofuran) having three or more rings, and the first substituent [ka] The N-Het1 (represented by the structural formula N, which corresponds to triazine, etc.) acts as an acceptor unit to lower the electron density of the aromatic unit and deepen the LUMO energy level, thereby enhancing the electron transfer properties. [ka] The Ar4 is substituted at various positions in the core skeleton, which changes the thermal properties of the material, such as the glass transition temperature and thermal decomposition temperature, thereby increasing thermal stability, and by changing the length of the conjugated structure and molecular orientation, the hole properties are improved, resulting in excellent electron and hole transport properties and high efficiency overall.

[0059] When a heterocyclic compound represented by formula B, which has fast electron transfer properties, is used together with a heterocyclic compound represented by formula A, which has excellent hole transfer properties, it acts as an N-type host material, and in the organic layer (especially the light-emitting layer (EML)), the large difference between the HOMO and LUMO between the two hosts generates excitons between the two hosts, forming an excited charge-transfer complex, exhibiting exciplex properties. This has the effect of lowering the driving voltage due to strong hole and electron transport properties, and the formation of an exciplex between the two hosts allows the energy transfer process to dominate the light-emitting process. When the two compounds are used in combination, charge balance is maintained and electron injection and transfer are facilitated, resulting in high efficiency and low driving voltage, while also demonstrating excellent lifespan characteristics.

[0171] [Table 3-1] [Table 3-2] [Table 3-3]

[0172] [Table 4]

[0173] Experimental Example <Experimental Example 1> Fabrication of organic light-emitting element A glass substrate coated with a 1,500Å thick indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film was ultrasonically cleaned in distilled water. After the distilled water cleaning, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned with solvents such as acetone, methanol, and isopropyl alcohol, dried, and then treated with UVO (Ultraviolet Ozone) for 5 minutes using UV in a UV (Ultraviolet) cleaning machine. The substrate was then transferred to a plasma cleaning machine (PT) and plasma treated in a vacuum to remove the ITO work function and residual film, before being transferred to a thermal evaporation system for organic deposition.

[0174] On the ITO transparent electrode (anode), a hole injection layer 2-TNATA (4,4',4''-Tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine), a hole transport layer NPB (N,N'-Di(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine), and an electron blocking layer TAPC (cyclohexylidenebis[N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)benzenamine]) were formed as common layers. An emitting layer was then formed thereon by thermal vacuum deposition as follows. The emitting layer consisted of a red host The compound compositions (two compounds) listed in Table 5 below were deposited as a single source. (piq)2(Ir)(acac) was used as a red phosphorescent dopant, and the host was doped with 3 wt% Ir compound to a thickness of 400 Å. Next, Bphen (Bathophenanthroline) was deposited to a thickness of 30 Å as a hole-blocking layer, and TPBI (2,2',2''-(1,3,5-Benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole) was deposited 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. An aluminum (Al) cathode was then deposited to a thickness of 1,200 Å on the electron-injecting layer to form a cathode, completing the fabrication of an organic light-emitting device.

[0175] On the other hand, all the organic compounds required for manufacturing OLED elements are 10 -8 ~10 -6 The organic light-emitting device thus fabricated was subjected to vacuum sublimation purification under torr and used for fabricating an OLED. The electroluminescence (EL) characteristics of the organic light-emitting device fabricated as described above were measured using a Mac Science M7000. Using the measurement results, a reference luminance of 6,000 cd / m was measured using a Mac Science M6000 lifetime measurement device. 2 (cd / A) when 90 The driving voltage, luminous efficiency, color coordinate (CIE), and lifespan of the organic light emitting device manufactured according to the present invention were measured, and the results are shown in Table 5 below.

[0176] [Table 5-1] [Table 5-2]

[0177] The structures of the compounds used in Comparative Examples 3 to 8 are as follows: [ka]

[0178] As can be seen from the results in Table 5, when the heterocyclic compound of the present invention is used as a P-type host and mixed with an N-type host and vapor-deposited, the operation, efficiency, and lifetime of the organic light-emitting device are improved. When a donor with good hole-transporting ability (p-host, a compound in Group A represented by P) and an acceptor with good electron-transporting ability (n-host, a compound in Group B represented by N) are used as the host in the light-emitting layer, holes are injected into the p-host and electrons are injected into the n-host due to the exciplex phenomenon between the N-type host material and the P-type host material, thereby achieving charge balance within the device. This indicates that combining an N-type host compound with suitable electron-transporting properties and a P-type host compound with suitable hole-transporting properties in the appropriate ratio can help improve operation efficiency and lifetime.

[0179] In contrast, in the comparative example compounds used in Comparative Examples 3 to 8, H1 is 1-substituted naphthobenzofuran and is compared to the heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula A, which corresponds to the P-type host compound; H2 is 1-substituted benzofuran and is compared to the heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula B, which corresponds to the N-type host compound; and H3 simultaneously has the substituents (amine group and triazine group) described in the P-type host compound (chemical formula A) and the N-type host compound (chemical formula B), respectively, and may be configured to be compared to a combination of the heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula A and the heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula B.

[0180] Table 5 shows that Comparative Examples 3 and 4, which used H1 and H2 alone, exhibited very high driving voltages, very low efficiencies, and very short lifetimes. Comparative Example 5, which combined H1 and H2, and Comparative Example 8, which used H3 alone, showed slight improvements in device characteristics compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, but the improvements were weaker than those of the Examples. Comparative Examples 6 and 7, which satisfied only some of the conditions of the present invention (including one of Formula A or B) but did not, showed slight improvements in device characteristics, but still showed differences compared to the Examples. Furthermore, Comparative Examples 1, 2, 9, 10, and 11, which did not satisfy the conditions (the combination of a heterocyclic compound of Formula A and a heterocyclic compound of Formula B) and contained one heterocyclic compound of Formula A or B, showed deterioration in device characteristics to the same level as Comparative Examples 3 and 4. This confirms that the mixed deposition of a heterocyclic compound represented by Formula A of the present invention as a P-type host and a heterocyclic compound represented by Formula B as an N-type host improves the driving, efficiency, and lifetime of organic light-emitting devices.

[0181] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be manufactured in various different forms, and a person skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can understand that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without changing the technical idea or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all respects and are not limiting. [Explanation of symbols]
