Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel compound and an organic light-emitting device containing the same.

[0002] Cross-reference to related applications This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0057910 filed on May 11, 2022, and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0057176 filed on May 2, 2023, and all the contents disclosed in the documents of the Korean patent applications are incorporated herein by reference.

Background Art

[0003] Generally, the organic light-emitting phenomenon refers to the phenomenon of converting electrical energy into light energy using organic substances. Organic light-emitting devices that utilize the organic light-emitting phenomenon have a wide viewing angle, excellent contrast, and fast response time, are excellent in luminance, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and many studies are being conducted.

[0004] An organic light-emitting device generally has a structure including an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer between the anode and the cathode. The organic layer often has a multilayer structure composed of different substances to enhance the efficiency and stability of the organic light-emitting device. For example, it may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and the like. When a voltage is applied between the two electrodes in such a structure of the organic light-emitting device, holes are injected from the anode and electrons are injected from the cathode into the organic layer. When the injected holes and electrons meet, an exciton is formed, and when this exciton falls back to the ground state again, light is emitted.

[0005] There is a continuous demand for the development of new materials for the organic substances used in such organic light-emitting devices.

[0093] [Example] [Comparative Example 1] A glass substrate with a thin film coating of ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) with a thickness of 1400 Å was placed in distilled water dissolved with a detergent and ultrasonically cleaned. At this time, the product Decon® CON705 of Fischer Co. was used as the detergent, and distilled water that had been secondarily filtered through a 0.22 μm sterilizing filter of Millipore Co. was used as the distilled water. After cleaning the ITO for 30 minutes, ultrasonic cleaning was repeatedly performed twice with distilled water for 10 minutes each. After the distilled water cleaning was completed, ultrasonic cleaning was performed for 10 minutes each with solvents of isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and methanol, and after drying, it was transported to a plasma cleaner. Also, after cleaning the substrate with oxygen plasma for 5 minutes, the substrate was transported to a vacuum evaporator.

[0094] On the thus-prepared ITO transparent electrode, the following compound HI-A and compound LG-101 were sequentially thermally vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 800 Å and 50 Å, respectively, to form a hole injection layer. On top of that, the following compound HT-A was vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 800 Å as a hole transport layer, and then the following compound EB-A was thermally vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 600 Å as an electron blocking layer. Compound RH-A was applied as the host of the light-emitting layer, and compound RD-A was applied as the dopant. The host and the dopant were vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 400 Å at a weight ratio of 98:2. Next, the following compound ET-A and compound Liq were thermally vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 360 Å at a weight ratio of 1:1 as an electron transport and injection layer, and then compound Liq was vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 5 Å.

[0095]

Chemical formula

[0096] On top of the electron injection layer, magnesium and silver were sequentially deposited to a thickness of 220 Å at a weight ratio of 10:1, and aluminum was deposited to a thickness of 1000 Å to form a cathode, thereby manufacturing an organic light-emitting device.

[0097] <Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 2 to 8> In Comparative Example 1, except for changing as shown in Table 1 instead of Compound 1, the organic light-emitting devices of Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 2 to 8 were manufactured using the same method as in Example 1-1. At this time, when a mixture of two compounds was used as the host, the parentheses indicate the weight ratio between the host compounds. The structures of Compound pRH-1, Compound pRH-2, and Compounds A to F in Table 1 are as follows.

[0098]

Chemical formula

[0099] <Experimental Example> An electric current was applied to the organic light-emitting devices manufactured in Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8, and the voltage, efficiency, and lifespan were measured. The results are shown in Table 1 below. At this time, the voltage and efficiency were measured by applying a current density of 10 mA / cm 2 and the lifespan (LT97) means the time until the initial luminance decreases to 97% at a current density of 20 mA / cm 2 .

[0100]

Table 1

[0101] According to what is disclosed in Table 1, it can be seen that a structure in which a triazine is directly bonded to the 1-position of dibenzofuran substituted only with hydrogen or deuterium has high electron injection and mobility characteristics and exhibits low-voltage characteristics. In particular, when co-applied with a p-type host having excellent hole transport characteristics such as Compound pRH-1 or pRH-2, it was easy to adjust the charge balance in the light-emitting layer. In addition, an aryl group in which at least one benzene ring containing Ar1 or Ar2 is condensed reduces the triplet energy of the substance, and in particular, energy transfer to a red light-emitting dopant becomes easy, showing high-efficiency characteristics. Not only that, when substituted with deuterium as in Chemical Formula 1, not only does the vibrational energy of the substance decrease and the stability of the substance increase, but also the stability of the exciplex formed with the p-type host increases, enabling long-lifespan characteristics to be exhibited.

[0102] From the above results, it was confirmed that when a compound having the structure of Chemical Formula 1 is applied to the light-emitting layer of an organic electroluminescent device, a device having characteristics of low voltage, high efficiency, and long lifespan can be obtained.
