Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present specification relates to a heterocyclic compound, an organic light-emitting device containing the same, a method for producing the same, and a composition for an organic layer. This specification claims the benefit of the filing date of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0048060, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on April 21, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]
[0002] Electroluminescent devices are a type of self-luminous display device, and have 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 with this structure, electrons and holes injected from the two electrodes combine in the organic thin film to form pairs and then disappear, emitting light. The organic thin film can be configured as a single layer or multiple layers as needed.
[0003] The organic thin film material may have a light-emitting function as needed. For example, the organic thin film material may be a compound that can form 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 organic thin film material may be a compound that can perform functions such as hole injection, hole transport, electron blocking, hole blocking, electron transport, and electron injection. In order to improve the performance, lifetime or efficiency of organic light-emitting devices, there is a constant demand for development of materials for organic thin films.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0014] The present application will be described in detail below. As used herein, 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. When two or more substituents are substituted, the two or more substituents may be the same or different.
[0015] In this specification, the term "substituted or unsubstituted" means being substituted or unsubstituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of C1 to C60 linear or branched alkyl; C2 to C60 linear or branched alkenyl; C2 to C60 linear or branched alkynyl; C3 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic cycloalkyl; C2 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic heterocycloalkyl; C6 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic aryl; C2 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic heteroaryl; -SiRR'R''; -P(=O)RR'; C1 to C20 alkylamine; C6 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic arylamine; and C2 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic heteroarylamine, or being substituted or unsubstituted with a substituent in which two or more substituents selected from the above-mentioned exemplary substituents are linked together, The R, R', and R'' may be the same or different, and each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C60 alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C60 aryl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C60 heteroaryl group.
[0016] In this specification, the term "substituted or unsubstituted" means substituted or unsubstituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of deuterium; halogen; cyano group; C1 to C60 linear or branched alkyl; C2 to C60 linear or branched alkenyl; C2 to C60 linear or branched alkynyl; C3 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic cycloalkyl; C2 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic heterocycloalkyl; C6 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic aryl; C2 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic heteroaryl; -SiRR'R''; -P(=O)RR'; C1 to C20 alkylamine; C6 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic arylamine; and C2 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic heteroarylamine, or substituted or unsubstituted with a substituent in which two or more substituents selected from the above-mentioned exemplary substituents are linked together,
[0017] The R, R', and R'' may be the same or different, and each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C60 alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C60 aryl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C60 heteroaryl group.
[0018] In this specification, the "proton number" means the number of substituents that a specific compound may have, and specifically, the proton number may mean the number of hydrogen atoms. For example, unsubstituted benzene can be represented by 5 protons, unsubstituted naphthyl group can be represented by 7 protons, naphthyl group substituted with phenyl group can be represented by 6 protons, and unsubstituted biphenyl group can be represented by 9 protons.
[0019] In this specification, "when no substituent is shown in the chemical formula or compound structure" means that a hydrogen atom is bonded to a carbon atom. However, deuterium ( 2 H, Deuterium) is an isotope of hydrogen, so some hydrogen atoms may be deuterium.
[0020] In one embodiment of the present application, "when no substituent is shown in a chemical formula or compound structure," may mean that all positions available for a substituent are hydrogen or deuterium. That is, deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen, and some hydrogen atoms may be deuterium, which is an isotope, and in this case, the deuterium content may be 0% to 100%.
[0021] In one embodiment of the present application, when "substituents are not shown in a chemical formula or compound structure," if the deuterium content is 0%, the hydrogen content is 100%, and all substituents are hydrogen, and deuterium is not explicitly excluded, hydrogen and deuterium may be used together in the compound.
[0022] In one embodiment of the present application, 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 can be represented by hydrogen-2, and its atomic symbol is D or 2 It can also be written as H.
[0023] In one embodiment of the present application, isotopes refer to atoms with the same atomic number (Z) but different mass numbers (A). Isotopes can also be interpreted as elements with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. In one embodiment of the present application, 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 them.
[0024] That is, in one example: [ka] In a phenyl group represented by the formula (I), the 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% can be represented by the following structural formula: [ka]

X is O; S; or C(R21)(R22); R1 to R5 are the same or different and each independently represent a hydrogen atom; a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C60 alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C60 aryl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C60 heteroaryl group; R6 to R9 are the same or different and each independently represent hydrogen; deuterium; a halogen group; —CN; a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C60 alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C60 aryl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C60 heteroaryl group containing O or S as a heteroatom; Z11 is -P(=O)RR'; -SiRR'R''; or a substituted or unsubstituted amine group; Z12 and Z13 are the same or different and each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C60 alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C60 aryl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C60 heteroaryl group containing O or S as a heteroatom; R, R', and R'' are the same as defined in Chemical Formula 1 above; R21 and R22 are the same or different and each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C60 alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C60 aryl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C60 heteroaryl group, or two or more adjacent groups are bonded to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C60 aromatic hydrocarbon ring or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C60 heterocycle; a1 to d1 are each an integer from 1 to 4, e1 is an integer from 1 to 5, When each of a1 to e1 is 2 or more, the substituents in each parentheses are the same or different, r1 and r2 are each an integer of 0 or 1, The above r1+r2<2.
[0048] In particular, the heterocyclic compounds according to the present application have a sufficiently long substituent or a substituent with a large molecular weight, as represented by the above chemical formulas 3 to 8, and thus the LUMO is not localized from the triazine core to the substituent, thereby effectively stabilizing electrons. As a result, organic light-emitting devices including the heterocyclic compounds have excellent life characteristics.
[0049] In addition, the dipole moment varies depending on the type of terminal substituent of the triazine core structure, allowing for adjustment of molecular mobility. This allows for the selection of an appropriate triazine terminal substituent depending on the charge balance of the device, and the terminal substituent can affect the molecular rigidity and adjust the sublimation temperature, resulting in organic light-emitting devices containing this compound having excellent life characteristics. In other words, an excessively high sublimation temperature can cause the molecules to deteriorate before they sublimate, hindering the efficiency and life of the device.

[0104] In addition, compounds having the inherent properties of the introduced substituents may be synthesized by introducing various substituents into the structure of Chemical Formula 1.

Furthermore, by introducing various substituents into the structure of Chemical Formula 1, it is possible to finely adjust the energy band gap, while improving the properties at the interface between organic materials, thereby diversifying the uses of the material.
[0105] On the other hand, the compound has a high glass transition temperature (Tg) and excellent thermal stability, which is an important factor in providing the device with operational stability.

[0113] In one embodiment of the present application, the organic light-emitting device is a green organic light-emitting device, and the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 may be used as a light-emitting layer material of the green organic light-emitting device.
[0114] In one embodiment of the present application, the organic light-emitting device may be a red organic light-emitting device, and the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 may be used as an emission layer material of the red organic light-emitting device.
[0115] The specific details regarding the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 are the same as those described above.
[0116] The organic light-emitting device of the present invention may be manufactured by a conventional method and material for manufacturing an organic light-emitting device, except that one or more organic material layers are formed using the heterocyclic compound described above.
[0117] The heterocyclic compound may be formed in the organic material layer by a solution coating method, such as a vacuum deposition method, during the manufacture of the organic light emitting device, including, but not limited to, spin coating, dip coating, inkjet printing, screen printing, spraying, and roll coating.
[0118] The organic material layer of the organic light-emitting device of the present invention may have a single-layer structure, or may have a multi-layer structure in which two or more organic material layers are stacked. For example, the organic light-emitting device of the present invention may have a structure including a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc. as organic material layers. However, the structure of the organic light-emitting device is not limited thereto, and the device may include a fewer number of organic material layers.
[0119] In the organic light-emitting device of the present invention, the organic material layer may include a light-emitting layer, and the light-emitting layer may include a heterocyclic compound.
[0120] In an organic light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present application, the organic material layer containing the heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 further contains a heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 2: [ka] In the above Chemical Formula 2, Rc and Rd are the same or different and are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium, a halogen group, -CN, a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C60 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C60 alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C60 alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C60 alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3-C60 cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C60 heterocycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C60 aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C60 heteroaryl group, -Si(R10)(R11)(R12); -P(=O)(R10)(R11); and a substituted or unsubstituted amine group, or two or more adjacent groups are bonded to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C60 aromatic hydrocarbon ring or a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C60 heterocycle; R10, R11, and R12 are the same or different and each independently represent hydrogen; deuterium; -CN; a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C60 alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C60 aryl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C60 heteroaryl group; Ra and Rb are the same or different and each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C60 aryl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C60 heteroaryl group; r and s are each an integer of 0 to 7, When r and s are each 2 or greater, the substituents in each bracket are the same or different.
[0121] When the heterocyclic compound of Formula 1 and the heterocyclic compound of Formula 2 are contained in the organic material layer of an organic light emitting device, better efficiency and lifespan effects are exhibited. This result suggests that an exciplex phenomenon occurs when both compounds are contained simultaneously.
[0122] The exciplex phenomenon is a phenomenon in which electron exchange between two molecules releases energy at the HOMO level of the donor (p-host) and the LUMO level of the acceptor (n-host). When the exciplex phenomenon between two molecules occurs, reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) occurs, which can increase the internal quantum efficiency of fluorescence to 100%. When a donor (p-host) with good hole transporting ability and an acceptor (n-host) with good electron transporting ability are used as the host in the emitting layer, holes are injected into the p-host and electrons are injected into the n-host, which reduces the driving voltage and helps improve lifetime.

[0205] <Experimental Example 1> -Fabrication of organic light-emitting devices A glass substrate coated with a 1,500Å thick ITO (indium tin oxide) thin film was ultrasonically cleaned in distilled water. After the distilled water cleaning, it 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) cleaner. The substrate was then transferred to a plasma cleaner (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. A common layer, a hole injection layer 2-TNATA (4,4',4''-Tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine) and a hole transport layer NPB (N,N'-Di(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine), were formed on the ITO transparent electrode (anode). An emitting layer was then formed thereon by thermal vacuum deposition as follows: The emitting layer was formed by depositing a compound of Formula 1 (see Table 6 below) as a host to a thickness of 400 Å, and doping a green phosphorescent dopant [Ir(ppy)3] to a thickness of 7% of the emitting layer deposition thickness. Then, BCP (bathocuproine) was deposited to a thickness of 60 Å as a hole-blocking layer, and Alq3 was deposited to a thickness of 200 Å as an electron-transporting layer on top of that. 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 an aluminum (Al) cathode was deposited to a thickness of 1,200 Å on the electron-injecting layer to form a cathode, completing the fabrication of an organic electroluminescent device. On the other hand, all the organic compounds required for manufacturing OLED elements are 10- 6 ~10- 8 It was purified by vacuum sublimation under torr and used for OLED fabrication. The electroluminescence (EL) characteristics of the organic electroluminescent device fabricated as described above were measured using a Mac Science M7000. Based on the measurement results, a reference luminance of 6,000 cd / m was measured using a lifespan measurement device (M6000) manufactured by Mac Science. 2 When T 90 was measured. The driving voltage, luminous efficiency, color (EL color), and lifespan of the organic light emitting device manufactured according to the present invention were measured, and the results are shown in Table 7 below.
[0206] [Table 7] JPEG0007718715000061.jpg63169
[0207] [ka]
[0208] As can be seen from the results in Table 7 above, the organic electroluminescent elements using the light-emitting layer materials of the organic electroluminescent elements of the present invention not only had lower driving voltages and improved luminous efficiency but also significantly improved lifetimes compared to Comparative Examples 1 to 18.
[0209] Specifically, in Table 8 below, the LUMO orbital of compound 1-298 (Example 17) is decentralized to the triazine and terphenyl group substituents. However, when the triazine group does not have a sufficiently long aryl substituent, as in compounds Ref. 4, 7, 8, 11, 14, 16, and 19, the LUMO orbital of the triazine is decentralized to the short aryl substituent, preventing effective electron stabilization, resulting in a shortened lifetime.
[0210] [Table 8] JPEG0007718715000064.jpg118169
[0211] In Table 9 below, when all carbazole groups are substituted on the triazine group, as in compounds Ref. 1, 9, and 10, the LUMO orbital of the triazine is decentralized to the carbazole. Triazine, which has electron-attracting properties, effectively stabilizes electrons, while carbazole, which has electron-pushing properties, cannot effectively stabilize electrons, resulting in a shortened lifetime.
[0212] [Table 9]
[0213] When the triazine group is substituted with a pyrimidine, cyano, or pyridine group, as in the compounds of Ref. 2, 3, 6, 17, and 18, it was confirmed that the electron mobility increases excessively, the balance between holes and electrons in the light-emitting layer is disrupted, and the lifetime is reduced.
[0214] When phenyl groups are substituted at the 3rd and 4th positions of carbazole, as in compounds Ref. 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16, the molecular weight is higher than that of unsubstituted carbazole, resulting in a higher sublimation temperature. Furthermore, the structural twist is smaller than that of carbazole substituted with a phenyl group at the 2nd position, resulting in a relatively planar structure and a higher sublimation temperature. It was confirmed that prolonged exposure to high sublimation temperatures causes degradation of organic compounds, resulting in a reduced lifespan.
[0215] It was confirmed that when carbazole is substituted with amine or carbazole, as in the compounds of Ref. 6, 7, and 8, the hole mobility increases excessively, the balance between holes and electrons in the light-emitting layer is disrupted, and the lifetime is reduced.
[0216] The compound in Ref. 10 has pyridine bonded instead of triazine, which reduces the electron mobility and disrupts the balance between holes and electrons in the light-emitting layer, resulting in a shorter lifetime.
[0217] In the compound of Reference 5 in Table 10 below, a pyrene group is directly bonded to triazine. It was confirmed that substituted pyrene reabsorbs the light energy (approximately 2.4 eV) emitted from the green dopant due to its low T1 level, reducing the efficiency and lifetime of the device. Pyrene with a low T1 level is primarily used as a dopant in fluorescent OLED devices, rather than the phosphorescent OLED devices described above, and the principle is to prevent T1 energy transfer and promote S1 energy transfer to drive the device.
[0218] [Table 10]
[0219] <Experimental Example 2> -Fabrication of organic light-emitting devices A glass substrate coated with a 1,500Å thick ITO (indium tin oxide) thin film was ultrasonically cleaned in distilled water. After the distilled water cleaning, it 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) cleaner. The substrate was then transferred to a plasma cleaner (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.
[0220] A common layer, a hole injection layer 2-TNATA (4,4',4''-Tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine) and a hole transport layer NPB (N,N'-Di(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine), were formed on the ITO transparent electrode (anode). An emitting layer was then formed thereon by thermal vacuum deposition as follows. The emitting layer was formed by premixing one compound of Chemical Formula 1 and one compound of Chemical Formula 2 as hosts in the weight ratios shown in Table 11 below, and then depositing the premixed mixture to a thickness of 400 Å from a single source. A green phosphorescent dopant, Ir(ppy)3, was doped at 7% of the emitting layer deposition thickness. Next, BCP (bathocuproine) was deposited to a thickness of 60 Å as a hole-blocking layer, and Alq3 was deposited to a thickness of 200 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 electroluminescent device. On the other hand, all the organic compounds required for manufacturing OLED elements are 10 -8 ~10 -6 It was purified by vacuum sublimation under torr and used for OLED fabrication. The electroluminescence (EL) characteristics of the organic electroluminescent device fabricated as described above were measured using a Mac Science M7000. Based on the measurement results, a reference luminance of 6,000 cd / m was measured using a lifespan measurement device (M6000) manufactured by Mac Science. 2 When T 90 was measured.
[0221] 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 11 below.
[0222] [Table 11]
[0223] The results in Table 11 show that the compound of Formula 1 (n type) and the compound of Formula 2 are combined to exhibit superior efficiency and lifespan. This result suggests that an exciplex phenomenon occurs when the two compounds are combined.
[0224] The exciplex phenomenon is a phenomenon in which electron exchange between two molecules releases energy equivalent to the HOMO level of the donor (p-host) and the LUMO level of the acceptor (n-host). When the exciplex phenomenon between two molecules occurs, reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) occurs, which can increase the internal quantum efficiency of fluorescence to 100%. When a donor (p-host) with good hole transporting ability and an acceptor (n-host) with good electron transporting ability are used as hosts in the emissive layer, holes are injected into the p-host and electrons are injected into the n-host, which reduces the driving voltage and improves the lifetime.
