Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to heterocyclic compounds, organic light-emitting devices containing the same, and electronic devices. [Background technology]
[0002] Organic light-emitting devices are self-emitting elements that excel in viewing angle, response time, brightness, driving voltage, and response speed, and can be made multi-colored.
[0003] For example, an organic light-emitting device includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer interposed between the anode and the cathode, which includes a light-emitting layer. A hole transport region is provided between the anode and the light-emitting layer, and an electron transport region is provided between the light-emitting layer and the cathode. Holes injected from the anode move to the light-emitting layer via the hole transport region, and electrons injected from the cathode move to the light-emitting layer via the electron transport region. The holes and electrons recombine in the light-emitting layer region to generate an exciton. Light is generated as the exciton changes from an excited state to a ground state.

[0065] The heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula 1 contains a structure that satisfies the structure of chemical formula 1, wherein Ar1 and Ar2 are groups represented by chemical formula 2, respectively. Due to such a structure, the heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula 1 exhibits excellent luminescence properties, and can particularly exhibit deep blue light at short wavelengths.
[0066] Although not limited by any particular theory, the heterocyclic compound, by having a skeleton represented by chemical formula 1, exhibits increased molecular rigidity and a small singlet-triplet energy difference, thereby allowing it to exhibit advantageous properties such as a narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM), a small Stokes shift, and / or a fast delayed fluorescence excitation time (tau). Furthermore, as mentioned above, the inclusion of a substituent in a bulky structure in which the group represented by chemical formula 2, i.e., CY4-CY6, is linked in the ortho position, results in a high S1 energy level, suppressed intermolecular interactions, high color purity, and high photo-orientation. As a result, when the heterocyclic compound is used as a luminescent material, Dexter energy transfer is suppressed, and it can exhibit excellent lifetime characteristics.
[0067] Therefore, an electronic device containing the heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula 1, such as an organic light-emitting device, can exhibit high efficiency and long lifespan.
[0068] The HOMO, LUMO, S1, and T1 energy levels of some heterocyclic compounds represented by the aforementioned chemical formula 1 were evaluated using the Gaussian 09 program with molecular structure optimization based on density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0069] [Table 1] [ka]
[0070] From Table 1, it can be confirmed that the heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula 1 has electrical properties suitable for use as an electronic element, such as a dopant (e.g., emitter or sensor) in an organic light-emitting device.
[0071] According to one embodiment, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the emission peak in the emission spectrum or electroluminescence spectrum of the heterocyclic compound is 60 nm or less. For example, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the emission peak in the emission spectrum or electroluminescence spectrum of the heterocyclic compound is in the range of 5 nm to 50 nm, 7 nm to 40 nm, or 10 nm to 30 nm.
[0072] The method for synthesizing the heterocyclic compound represented by the chemical formula 1 can be understood by those skilled in the art by referring to the synthesis examples described later.
[0073] The method for confirming the structure of the heterocyclic compound represented by the chemical formula 1 is not particularly limited. According to one embodiment, the structure of the heterocyclic compound can be confirmed by known methods (e.g., NMR, LC-MS, etc.).
[0074] [Organic light-emitting element] In other aspects, an organic light-emitting device comprising the heterocyclic compound is provided.
[0075] According to one embodiment, the organic light-emitting element includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, which includes a light-emitting layer. The organic layer contains a heterocyclic compound represented by the chemical formula 1.
[0076] According to one embodiment, the light-emitting layer contains the heterocyclic compound.
[0077] According to one embodiment, the light-emitting layer includes a host and an emitter, and the emitter includes the heterocyclic compound.
[0078] According to one embodiment, the host content in the light-emitting layer is greater than the heterocyclic compound content, based on weight.
[0079] According to one embodiment, the light-emitting layer may further include a sensor.
[0080] According to one embodiment, the sensor includes a phosphorescent compound, a delayed-fluorescence compound, or any combination thereof.
[0081] For a detailed description of the host, emitter, and sensor mentioned above, please refer to the information provided herein.
[0082] The aforementioned organic light-emitting device, by comprising a light-emitting layer containing a heterocyclic compound represented by the chemical formula 1 described above, can have a relatively narrow EL spectral emission peak full width at half maximum (FWHM), excellent efficiency, and lifetime characteristics.
[0083] According to one embodiment, the heterocyclic compound acts as a dopant (e.g., an emitter or a sensor) in the light-emitting layer, and the light-emitting layer may further contain a host (i.e., the content of the heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula 1 in the light-emitting layer is less than the content of the host).
[0084] According to one embodiment, the light-emitting layer can emit blue light. For example, the light-emitting layer can emit blue light with a maximum emission wavelength of 410 nm to 490 nm.
[0085] According to one embodiment, the light-emitting layer can emit deep blue light with a maximum emission wavelength of 410 nm to 450 nm. For example, the light-emitting layer can emit deep blue light with a maximum emission wavelength of 410 nm to 445 nm.
[0086] In this specification, "(The luminescent layer) contains one or more heterocyclic compounds" is also interpreted as "(The luminescent layer) contains one heterocyclic compound belonging to the category of chemical formula 1, or two or more different heterocyclic compounds belonging to the category of chemical formula 1."
[0087] For example, the light-emitting layer may contain only compound 1 as the heterocyclic compound. In this case, compound 1 may be present in the light-emitting layer of the organic light-emitting element. Alternatively, the light-emitting layer may contain compound 1 and compound 2 as the heterocyclic compound.
[0088] [Explanation related to Figure 1] Figure 1 schematically shows a cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting element 10 according to one embodiment. The structure and manufacturing method of the organic light-emitting element according to one embodiment will be described below with reference to Figure 1.
[0089] The organic light-emitting element 10 in Figure 1 includes a first electrode 11, a second electrode 19 facing the first electrode 11, and an organic layer 15 disposed between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 19.
[0090] The organic layer 15 includes a light-emitting layer, a hole transport region is located between the first electrode 11 and the light-emitting layer, and an electron transport region is located between the light-emitting layer and the second electrode 19.
[0091] A substrate may be further placed below the first electrode 11 or above the second electrode 19. While a substrate commonly used in organic light-emitting devices can be used as the substrate, a glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate with excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and water repellency can also be used.
[0092] [First electrode 11] The first electrode 11 is formed, for example, by providing the material for the first electrode on the upper part of the substrate using a vapor deposition method or a sputtering method. The first electrode 11 also serves as the anode. The material for the first electrode is selected from materials having a high work function so that hole injection is easily performed.
[0093] The first electrode 11 is a reflective electrode, a semi-permeable electrode, or a transmissive electrode. To form a transmissive first electrode 11, the material for the first electrode is selected from, but is not limited to, indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), and any combination thereof. Alternatively, to form a semi-permeable or reflective first electrode 110, the material for the first electrode is selected from, but is not limited to, magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al-Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg-In), magnesium-silver (Mg-Ag), and any combination thereof.
[0094] The first electrode 11 may have a single layer or a multilayer structure including two or more layers.
[0095] [Luminous layer] The light-emitting layer may contain the heterocyclic compound.
[0096] The thickness of the light-emitting layer is approximately 100 Å to approximately 1,000 Å, for example, approximately 200 Å to approximately 600 Å. When the thickness of the light-emitting layer satisfies the above range, excellent light-emitting characteristics can be achieved without a substantial increase in driving voltage.
[0097] [Explanation related to Figure 2] According to one embodiment, the heterocyclic compound may be a fluorescent emitter.
[0098] According to one embodiment, the light-emitting layer may further contain a host (hereinafter referred to as "host A," which is not identical to the heterocyclic compound). Host A is understood with reference to, but is not limited to, the host materials described later. Host A is also a fluorescent host.
[0099] Referring to Figure 2, the energy transition in one embodiment is described as follows.
[0100] Singlet excitons are formed in host A within the light-emitting layer, and these singlet excitons are transferred to the fluorescent emitter via Ferster energy transfer (or Ferster resonance energy transfer: FRET).
[0101] Since only 25% of the excitons formed in host A are singlet excitons, the efficiency of the organic light-emitting device can be further improved by enabling the 75% of triplet excitons formed in host A to fuse with each other and be converted into singlet excitons. In other words, the efficiency of the organic light-emitting device can be further improved using the triplet-triplet fusion (TTF) mechanism.
[0102] According to one embodiment, the proportion of the luminescent component emitted from the heterocyclic compound among the total luminescent components emitted from the luminescent layer is 80% or more, for example, 90% or more. For example, the proportion of the luminescent component emitted from the heterocyclic compound among the total luminescent components emitted from the luminescent layer is 95% or more.
[0103] Here, the heterocyclic compound emits fluorescence, while the host does not emit light.
[0104] According to one embodiment, when the light-emitting layer further contains host A in addition to the heterocyclic compound, the content of the heterocyclic compound is 50 parts by weight or less per 100 parts by weight of the light-emitting layer, for example, 30 parts by weight or less, and the content of host A in the light-emitting layer is 50 parts by weight or more per 100 parts by weight of the light-emitting layer, for example, 70 parts by weight or more, but is not limited thereto.
[0105] According to one embodiment, if the light-emitting layer further contains host A in addition to the heterocyclic compound, then host A and the heterocyclic compound can satisfy the following condition A: <Condition A> E(H A ) S1 >E S1 In the above condition A, E(H A ) S1 This is the lowest excitation singlet energy level of host A, E S1 This is the lowest singlet excitation energy level of the heterocyclic compound.
[0106] The aforementioned E(H A ) S1 and E S1 This was evaluated using the DFT method of a Gaussian program whose structure was optimized at the B3LYP / 6-31G(d,p) level.
[0107] [Explanation related to Figure 3] According to one embodiment, the heterocyclic compound may be a delayed fluorescence emitter.
[0108] According to one embodiment, the light-emitting layer may further contain a host (hereinafter referred to as "host B," and host B is not identical to the heterocyclic compound). Host B is understood with reference to, but is not limited to, the host materials described later.
[0109] Referring to Figure 3, the energy transition in one embodiment is described as follows.
[0110] 25% of the singlet excitons formed in host B within the light-emitting layer are transferred to the delayed fluorescence emitter via FRET. Additionally, 75% of the triplet excitons formed in host B within the light-emitting layer are transferred to the delayed fluorescence emitter via Dexter energy transfer. Of these, at least a portion of the singlet energy of the delayed fluorescence emitter is transferred to the triplet via intersystem crossing (ISC). The energy transferred to the triplet of the delayed fluorescence emitter can then undergo reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) back to the singlet. This allows for the transfer of both singlet and triplet excitons generated in the light-emitting layer to the heterocycle, resulting in an organic light-emitting device with improved efficiency.
[0111] Therefore, according to one embodiment, the proportion of the luminescent component emitted from the heterocyclic compound among the total luminescent components emitted from the luminescent layer is 80% or more, for example, 90% or more. For example, the proportion of the luminescent component emitted from the heterocyclic compound among the total luminescent components emitted from the luminescent layer is 95% or more.
[0112] Here, the heterocyclic compound emits fluorescence and / or delayed fluorescence, and the luminescence component of the heterocyclic compound is the sum of the immediate emission component and the RISC-mediated delayed fluorescence component of the heterocyclic compound. Furthermore, the host B does not emit light.
[0113] According to one embodiment, when the light-emitting layer further contains host B in addition to the heterocyclic compound, the content of the heterocyclic compound is 50 parts by weight or less per 100 parts by weight of the light-emitting layer, for example, 30 parts by weight or less, and the content of host B in the light-emitting layer is 50 parts by weight or more per 100 parts by weight of the light-emitting layer, for example, 70 parts by weight or more, but is not limited thereto.
[0114] According to one embodiment, if the light-emitting layer further contains host B in addition to the heterocyclic compound, the host B and the heterocyclic compound can satisfy the following condition B: <Condition B> E(H B ) S1 >E S1 In the above condition B, E(H B ) S1 This is the lowest excitation singlet energy level of host B, E S1 This is the lowest singlet excitation energy level of the heterocyclic compound.
[0115] The aforementioned E(H B ) S1 and E S1 This was evaluated using the DFT method of a Gaussian program whose structure was optimized at the B3LYP / 6-31G(d,p) level.
[0116] [Explanation related to Figure 4] According to one embodiment, the heterocyclic compound is used as a fluorescent emitter, and the light-emitting layer includes a sensorizer, specifically a delayed fluorescence sensorizer. According to a third embodiment, the light-emitting layer may further include a host (hereinafter referred to as "host C," where host C is not the same as the heterocyclic compound and the sensorizer) and a sensorizer (hereinafter referred to as "sensitizer A," where sensorizer A is not the same as host C and the heterocyclic compound). Host C and sensorizer A are understood with reference to, but are not limited to, the host material and sensorizer material described later.
[0117] According to one embodiment, the proportion of the luminescent component of the heterocyclic compound among the total luminescent components emitted from the luminescent layer is 80% or more, for example, 90% or more (as another example, 95% or more). For example, the heterocyclic compound can emit fluorescence. Furthermore, the host C and the sensor A do not emit light.
[0118] Referring to Figure 4, the energy transition in one embodiment is described as follows.
[0119] Singlet and triplet excitons are formed in host C in the light-emitting layer. The singlet and triplet excitons formed in host C are then transferred to sensorizer A, and subsequently transferred again to the heterocyclic compound via FRET. 25% of the singlet excitons formed in host C are transferred to sensorizer A via FRET, and the energy of the 75% of triplet excitons formed in host C is transferred to the singlet and triplet states of sensorizer A. Of these, at least a portion of the singlet energy of sensorizer A is transferred to the triplet state via ISC. The energy transferred to the triplet state of sensorizer A undergoes RISC to the singlet state, and then the singlet energy of sensorizer A is transferred to the heterocyclic compound via FRET.
[0120] This allows for the transfer of both singlet and triplet excitons generated in the light-emitting layer to the dopant (e.g., the emitter), resulting in an organic light-emitting device with improved efficiency. Furthermore, since an organic light-emitting device with significantly reduced energy loss is obtained, the lifetime characteristics of the organic light-emitting device can also be improved.
[0121] Referring to Figure 4, if the light-emitting layer further includes host C and sensor A in addition to the heterocyclic compound, then host C and sensor A can satisfy the following conditions C-1 and / or C-2: <Condition C-1> S1(H C )≧S1(S A ) <Condition C-2> S1(S A )≧S1(HC) In the above conditions C-1 and C-2, S1(H C ) is the lowest excitation singlet energy level of the host C, S1(S A ) is the lowest excitation singlet energy level of the aforementioned sensor A, S1(HC) is the lowest singlet excitation energy level of the heterocyclic compound.
[0122] The aforementioned S1(H C ), S1(S A ) and S1(HC) were evaluated using the DFT method of a Gaussian program whose structure was optimized at the B3LYP / 6-31G(d,p) level.
[0123] If the host C, the sensorizer A, and the heterocyclic compound satisfy the conditions C-1 and / or C-2, FRET from the sensorizer A to the heterocyclic compound can be promoted, thereby improving the luminescence efficiency of the organic light-emitting element.
[0124] [Explanation related to Figure 5] According to one embodiment, the heterocyclic compound is used as a fluorescent emitter, and the light-emitting layer may include a sensor, specifically a phosphorescent sensor.
[0125] According to one embodiment, the light-emitting layer may further include a host (hereinafter referred to as "host D," where host D is not the same as the heterocyclic compound and the sensorizer) and a sensorizer (hereinafter referred to as "sensitizer B," where sensorizer B is not the same as host D and the heterocyclic compound). Host D and sensorizer B are understood with reference to, but are not limited to, the host material and sensorizer material described later.
[0126] According to one embodiment, the proportion of the luminescent component of the heterocyclic compound among the total luminescent components emitted from the luminescent layer is 80% or more, for example, 90% or more (as another example, 95% or more). For example, the heterocyclic compound can emit fluorescence. Furthermore, the host and the sensorizer do not emit light.
[0127] Referring to Figure 5, the energy transition in one embodiment is described as follows.
[0128] 75% of the triplet excitons formed in host D in the light-emitting layer are transferred to sensorizer B via Dexter energy transfer, and the energy of the 25% of singlet excitons formed in host D is transferred to singlet and triplet states in sensorizer B. Of these, the energy transferred to the singlet state in sensorizer B undergoes ISC to the triplet state, and then the triplet energy of sensorizer B is transferred to the heterocyclic compound via FRET.
[0129] This allows for the transfer of both singlet and triplet excitons generated in the light-emitting layer to the dopant (e.g., the emitter), resulting in an organic light-emitting device with improved efficiency. Furthermore, since an organic light-emitting device with significantly reduced energy loss is obtained, the lifetime characteristics of the organic light-emitting device can also be improved.
[0130] According to one embodiment, if the light-emitting layer further comprises a host D and a sensor B in addition to the heterocyclic compound, the host D and the sensor B can satisfy the following conditions D-1 and / or D-2: <Condition D-1> T1(H D )≧T1(S B ) <Condition D-2> T1(S B )≧S1(HC) In the above conditions D-1 and D-2, T1(H D ) is the lowest excitation triplet energy level of the host D, T1(S B ) is the lowest excitation triplet energy level of the aforementioned sensor B, S1(HC) is the lowest singlet excitation energy level of the heterocyclic compound.
[0131] The aforementioned T1(H D ), T1(S B ) and S1(HC) were evaluated using the DFT method of a Gaussian program whose structure was optimized at the B3LYP / 6-31G(d,p) level.
[0132] If the host D, the sensorizer B, and the heterocyclic compound satisfy conditions D-1 and / or D-2, FRET from the sensorizer B to the heterocyclic compound can be promoted, thereby improving the luminescence efficiency of the organic light-emitting element.
[0133] According to one embodiment, the content of the sensor in the light-emitting layer is selected within the range of 5% to 50% by weight, specifically within the range of 10% to 30% by weight. When the above range is satisfied, effective energy transfer in the light-emitting layer can be achieved, thereby realizing a highly efficient and long-life organic light-emitting element.
[0134] According to one embodiment, the content of the heterocyclic compound in the light-emitting layer is selected from a range of 0.01% to 15% by weight, specifically from 0.05% to 3% by weight, and is not limited thereto.
[0135] According to one embodiment, the sensorizer and heterocyclic compound can further satisfy the following condition 5: <Condition 5> 0 μs <T decay (HC) < 5 μs In the aforementioned condition 5, T decay (HC) is the decay time of the heterocyclic compound.
[0136] The decay time of the heterocyclic compound is determined by the weight ratio of the host and heterocyclic compound contained in the light-emitting layer on the quartz substrate at 90:10. -7 These values were calculated from the TRPL (Time-Resolved Photoluminescence) spectrum at room temperature for a 40 nm thick film (hereinafter referred to as "film (HC)") obtained by vacuum co-deposition at a Torr vacuum level.
[0137] [Explanation related to Figure 6] According to one embodiment, the heterocyclic compound is used as a delayed fluorescence emitter, and the light-emitting layer may include a sensor, specifically a delayed fluorescence sensor.
[0138] According to one embodiment, the light-emitting layer may further include a host (hereinafter referred to as "host E," where host E is not the same as the heterocyclic compound and the sensorizer) and a sensorizer (hereinafter referred to as "sensitizer C," where sensorizer C is not the same as host E and the heterocyclic compound). Host E and sensorizer C are understood with reference to, but are not limited to, the host material and sensorizer material described later.
[0139] According to one embodiment, the proportion of the luminescent component of the heterocyclic compound among the total luminescent components emitted from the luminescent layer is 80% or more, for example, 90% or more (as another example, 95% or more). For example, the heterocyclic compound can emit fluorescence and / or delayed fluorescence. Furthermore, the host E and the sensor C do not emit light.
[0140] Here, the heterocyclic compound emits fluorescence and / or delayed fluorescence, and the luminescence component of the heterocyclic compound is the sum of the immediate luminescence component of the heterocyclic compound and the RISC-mediated delayed fluorescence component of the heterocyclic compound.
[0141] Referring to Figure 6, the energy transition in one embodiment is described as follows.
[0142] 25% of the singlet excitons formed in the host E in the luminescent layer are transferred to the singlet state of the sensorizer C via FRET, and the energy of the 75% of the triplet excitons formed in the host E is transferred to the triplet state of the sensorizer C. Then, the singlet energy of the sensorizer C is again transferred to the heterocyclic compound via FRET, and the triplet energy of the sensorizer C is transferred to the heterocyclic compound via Dexter energy transfer. Of these, the energy transferred to the triplet state of the sensorizer C can undergo RISC to the singlet state. In the case of the sensorizer C, the energy of the triplet state formed in the sensorizer C is transferred in the reverse direction to the host E (triplet exciton distributing, TED), and then transferred again to the heterocyclic compound, allowing it to emit light via RISC.
[0143] This allows for the transfer of both singlet and triplet excitons generated in the light-emitting layer to the dopant (e.g., the emitter), resulting in an organic light-emitting device with improved efficiency. Furthermore, since an organic light-emitting device with significantly reduced energy loss is obtained, the lifetime characteristics of the organic light-emitting device can also be improved.
[0144] According to one embodiment, if the light-emitting layer further comprises a host E and a sensor C in addition to the heterocyclic compound, the host E and the sensor C can satisfy the following conditions E-1, E-2 and / or E-3: <Condition E-1> S1(H E )≧S1(S C ) <Condition E-2> S1(S C )≧S1(HC) <Condition E-3> T1(S C )≧T1(HC) In the above conditions E-1, E-2 and E-3, S1(H E ) is the lowest excitation singlet energy level of the host E, S1(S C) is the lowest excitation singlet energy level of the aforementioned sensor C, S1(HC) is the lowest singlet excitation energy level of the heterocyclic compound, T1(S C ) is the lowest excitation triplet energy level of the aforementioned sensor C, T1(HC) is the lowest excited triplet energy level of the heterocyclic compound.
[0145] The aforementioned S1(H E ), S1(S C ), S1(HC), T1(S C ) and T1(HC) were evaluated using the DFT method of a Gaussian program whose structure was optimized at the B3LYP / 6-31G(d,p) level.
[0146] If the host E, the sensorizer C, and the heterocyclic compound satisfy the conditions E-1, E-2, and / or E-3, then Dexter migration and FRET from the sensorizer C to the heterocyclic compound can be promoted, thereby improving the luminescence efficiency of the organic light-emitting element.
[0147] According to one embodiment, the content of the sensor C in the light-emitting layer is selected within the range of 5% to 50% by weight, specifically within the range of 10% to 30% by weight. When the above range is satisfied, effective energy transfer in the light-emitting layer can be achieved, thereby realizing a highly efficient and long-life organic light-emitting element.
[0148] According to one embodiment, the content of the heterocyclic compound in the light-emitting layer is selected from a range of 0.01% to 15% by weight, specifically from 0.05% to 3% by weight, and is not limited thereto.

By satisfying the above-described content ranges, the organic light-emitting element can have improved luminous efficiency and / or lifetime characteristics.
[0195] Figure 1 schematically shows a cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting element 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The structure and manufacturing method of the organic light-emitting element according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figure 1. The organic light-emitting element 10 has a structure in which a first electrode 11, an organic layer 15, and a second electrode 19 are stacked in order.
[0196] A substrate may be further placed below the first electrode 11 or above the second electrode 19. While a substrate commonly used in organic light-emitting devices can be used as the substrate, a glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate with excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and water repellency can also be used.
[0197] The first electrode 11 is formed, for example, by providing a material for the first electrode on the upper part of a substrate using a vapor deposition method or a sputtering method. The first electrode 11 is also the anode. The material for the first electrode is selected from materials having a high work function so that hole injection is easy. The first electrode 11 is a reflective electrode, a semi-transmissive electrode, or a transmissive electrode. As the material for the first electrode, indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), etc. can be used. Alternatively, metals such as magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al-Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg-In), and magnesium-silver (Mg-Ag) can be used.
[0198] The first electrode 11 may have a single layer or a multilayer structure including two or more layers. For example, the first electrode 11 may have a three-layer structure of ITO / Ag / ITO, but is not limited to this.
[0199] An organic layer 15 is placed on top of the first electrode 11.
[0200] The organic layer 15 includes a hole transport region, an emission layer, and an electron transport region.
[0201] The hole transport region is located between the first electrode 11 and the light-emitting layer.
[0202] The hole transport region may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a buffer layer, or any combination thereof.
[0203] The hole transport region may consist only of a hole injection layer, or only of a hole transport layer. Alternatively, the hole transport region may have a structure of hole injection layer / hole transport layer or hole injection layer / hole transport layer / electron blocking layer, stacked sequentially from the first electrode 11.
[0204] If the hole transport region includes a hole injection layer, the hole injection layer (HIL) is formed on top of the first electrode 11 using various methods such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, and LB (Langmuir-Blodgett) method.
[0205] When forming a hole injection layer by vacuum deposition, the deposition conditions vary depending on the compound used as the hole injection layer material, the desired structure of the hole injection layer, and its thermal properties. For example, the deposition temperature is approximately 100°C to 500°C, and the vacuum level is approximately 10°C. -8 torr~approximately 10 -3 Torr is selected within the range of approximately 0.01 Å / sec to approximately 100 Å / sec, but is not limited to these ranges.
[0206] When forming a hole injection layer by spin coating, the coating conditions vary depending on the compound used as the hole injection layer material, the desired structure of the hole injection layer, and its thermal properties. However, the coating speed is typically selected between approximately 2,000 rpm and 5,000 rpm, and the heat treatment temperature for solvent removal after coating is typically between approximately 80°C and 200°C, although these are not the only possible conditions.
[0207] The formation conditions for the hole transport layer and the electron blocking layer refer to the formation conditions for the hole injection layer.
[0208] The hole transport region may include, for example, at least one of the following: m-MTDATA, TDATA, 2-TNATA, NPB, β-NPB, TPD, Spiro-TPD, Spiro-NPB, methylated NPB, TAPC, HMTPD, 4,4',4”-tris(N-carbazolyl)triphenylamine (TCTA), polyaniline / dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (PANI / DBSA), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) / poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT / PSS), polyaniline / camphorsulfonic acid (PANI / CSA), polyaniline / poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PANI / PSS), a compound represented by the following chemical formula 201, and a compound represented by the following chemical formula 202: [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka]

[0213] According to one embodiment, the compound represented by chemical formula 201 is represented by the following chemical formula 201A, but is not limited thereto: [ka]
[0214] In the above chemical formula 201A, R 101 , R 111 , R 112 and R 109 For a detailed explanation, please refer to the above.
[0215] For example, the compounds represented by chemical formula 201 and chemical formula 202 include, but are not limited to, the following compounds HT1 to HT20: [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka]
[0216] The thickness of the hole transport region is approximately 100 Å to approximately 10,000 Å, for example, approximately 100 Å to approximately 1,000 Å. If the hole transport region includes at least one of the hole injection layer and the hole transport layer, the thickness of the hole injection layer is approximately 100 Å to approximately 10,000 Å, for example, approximately 100 Å to approximately 1,000 Å, and the thickness of the hole transport layer is approximately 50 Å to approximately 2,000 Å, for example, approximately 100 Å to approximately 1,500 Å. When the thicknesses of the hole transport region, the hole injection layer, and the hole transport layer satisfy the above-described ranges, the hole transport characteristics to be satisfied can be obtained without a substantial increase in driving voltage.
[0217] The hole transport region may further contain, in addition to the aforementioned substances, charge-generating materials to improve conductivity. The charge-generating materials are uniformly or non-uniformly dispersed within the hole transport region.
[0218] The charge-generating substance is, for example, a p-type dopant. The p-type dopant is, but is not limited to, one of a quinone derivative, a metal oxide, and a cyano group-containing compound. For example, non-restrictive examples of the p-type dopant include, but is not limited to, quinone derivatives such as tetracyanoquinone dimethane (TCNQ) and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-tetracyano-1,4-benzoquinone dimethane (F4-TCNQ), metal oxides such as tungsten oxide and molybdenum oxide, and cyano group-containing compounds such as the compounds HT-D1 and F12 listed below. [ka] [ka]
[0219] The hole transport region may further include a buffer layer.
[0220] The buffer layer can compensate for the optical resonance distance due to the wavelength of light emitted from the light-emitting layer, thereby increasing efficiency.
[0221] An emissive layer (EML) can be formed on top of the hole transport region using methods such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, or LB. When forming the emissive layer by vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition and coating conditions vary depending on the compound used, but are generally selected within approximately the same range as those used for forming the hole injection layer.
[0222] On the other hand, if the hole transport region includes an electron blocking layer, the material of the electron blocking layer is selected from, but is not limited to, materials usable in the hole transport region as described above and host materials described later. For example, if the hole transport region includes an electron blocking layer, mCP described later can be used as the material of the electron blocking layer.
[0223] If the organic light-emitting element is a full-color organic light-emitting element, the light-emitting layer may be patterned with a red light-emitting layer, a green light-emitting layer, and a blue light-emitting layer. Alternatively, the light-emitting layer may have a structure in which a red light-emitting layer, a green light-emitting layer, and / or a blue light-emitting layer are laminated, allowing it to emit white light, and various other modifications are possible.
[0224] When the light-emitting layer contains a host and a dopant, the dopant content is usually selected in the range of about 0.01 parts by weight to about 15 parts by weight, based on about 100 parts by weight of the host, but is not limited thereto.
[0225] The thickness of the light-emitting layer is approximately 100 Å to approximately 1,000 Å, for example, approximately 200 Å to approximately 600 Å. When the thickness of the light-emitting layer satisfies the above range, excellent light-emitting characteristics can be achieved without a substantial increase in driving voltage.
[0226] Next, an electron transport region is placed above the light-emitting layer.
[0227] The electron transport region may include a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, or any combination thereof.
[0228] For example, the electron transport region may have, but is not limited to, a hole blocking layer / electron transport layer / electron injection layer or an electron transport layer / electron injection layer structure. The electron transport layer may be a single layer or a multilayer structure containing two or more different materials.
[0229] The formation conditions for the hole blocking layer, electron transport layer, and electron injection layer in the electron transport region refer to the formation conditions for the hole injection layer.
[0230] If the electron transport region includes a hole blocking layer, the hole blocking layer includes, for example, at least one of the following BCP, Bphen, and BAlq, but is not limited to them. [ka]
[0231] The thickness of the hole blocking layer is approximately 20 Å to 1,000 Å, for example, approximately 30 Å to 300 Å. When the thickness of the hole blocking layer satisfies the above range, excellent hole blocking characteristics can be obtained without a substantial increase in driving voltage.
[0232] The electron transport layer may further include at least one of BCP, Bphen, Alq3, BAlq, TAZ, and NTAZ. [ka]
[0233] Alternatively, the electron transport layer may contain, but is not limited to, at least one of the following compounds ET1 to ET25. [ka] [ka]
[0234] The thickness of the electron transport layer is approximately 100 Å to 1,000 Å, for example, approximately 150 Å to 500 Å. When the thickness of the electron transport layer satisfies the above range, the desired electron transport characteristics can be obtained without a substantial increase in driving voltage.
[0235] The electron transport layer may further contain metal-containing materials in addition to the materials described above.
[0236] The metal-containing substance may also contain a Li complex. The Li complex may include, for example, the following compounds ET-D1 (lithium quinolate (LiQ)) or ET-D2. [ka]
[0237] Furthermore, the electron transport region includes an electron injection layer (EIL) that facilitates the injection of electrons from the second electrode 19.
[0238] The electron injection layer may contain LiF, NaCl, CsF, Li2O, BaO, or any combination thereof.
[0239] The thickness of the electron injection layer is approximately 1 Å to approximately 100 Å, for example, approximately 3 Å to approximately 90 Å. When the thickness of the electron injection layer satisfies the above range, the desired electron injection characteristics can be obtained without a substantial increase in the driving voltage.
[0240] A second electrode 19 is provided on the upper part of the organic layer 15. The second electrode 19 also serves as the cathode. As the material for the second electrode 19, metals, alloys, conductive compounds, and combinations thereof with relatively low work functions can be used. Specifically, lithium (Li), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al-Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg-In), magnesium-silver (Mg-Ag), etc., can be used as materials for forming the second electrode 19. Alternatively, various modifications are possible, such as forming a transmissive second electrode 19 using ITO or IZO to obtain a front-facing light-emitting element.
[0241] The organic light-emitting element described above has been explained with reference to Figure 1, but is not limited to that.
[0242] In another aspect, an electronic device including the organic light-emitting element is provided.
[0243] The electronic device may further include a thin-film transistor in addition to the organic light-emitting element described above. The thin-film transistor includes a source electrode, a drain electrode, and an active layer, and either one of the source electrode and the drain electrode may be electrically connected to either one of the first electrode and the second electrode of the organic light-emitting element.
[0244] In another aspect, a diagnostic composition comprising the heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula 1 is provided.
[0245] The diagnostic composition may contain one or more heterocyclic compounds represented by the chemical formula 1.
[0246] Since the heterocyclic compound represented by chemical formula 1 can provide high luminescence efficiency, a diagnostic composition containing the heterocyclic compound can have high diagnostic efficiency.
