Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application claims the benefit of the filing date of Korean Patent Applications Nos. 10-2021-0095599 and 10-2021-0095600, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on July 21, 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present specification relates to polymers and organic light emitting devices formed therewith. [Background technology]

[0003] Organic light-emitting devices are an example of a device in which electric current is converted into visible light through internal processes within specific organic molecules. The principle of organic light-emitting devices is as follows: When an organic layer is placed between an anode and a cathode and an electric current is applied between the two electrodes, electrons and holes are injected into the organic layer from the cathode and anode, respectively. The injected electrons and holes recombine to form excitons, which then fall back to the ground state and emit light. Organic electroluminescent devices based on this principle typically consist of a cathode, an anode, and organic layers positioned between them, such as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer.

[0004] The majority of materials used in organic light-emitting devices are pure organic materials or complex compounds formed by organic materials and metals. Depending on their intended use, they can be classified as hole-injecting materials, hole-transporting materials, light-emitting materials, electron-transporting materials, electron-injecting materials, etc. Here, organic materials with p-type properties, i.e., organic materials that are easily oxidized and electrochemically stable upon oxidation, are primarily used as hole-injecting and hole-transporting materials. On the other hand, organic materials with n-type properties, i.e., organic materials that are easily reduced and electrochemically stable upon reduction, are primarily used as electron-injecting and electron-transporting materials. Light-emitting materials are preferably materials that simultaneously possess p-type and n-type properties, i.e., materials that are stable in both oxidized and reduced states. These materials are also preferred because they have high luminous efficiency and convert excitons into light upon exciton formation.

[0005] In addition to the above, it is preferable that the material used in the organic light emitting device further has the following properties.

[0006] First, materials used in organic light-emitting devices preferably have excellent thermal stability. This is because Joule heating occurs due to charge transfer within the organic light-emitting device. NPB (N,N'-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine), which is currently the main material used as a hole transport layer, has a glass transition temperature of less than 100°C, making it difficult to use in organic light-emitting devices that require high current.

[0007] Second, to achieve high-efficiency organic light-emitting devices that can be driven at low voltages, holes or electrons injected into the organic light-emitting device must be smoothly transported to the light-emitting layer while preventing the injected holes and electrons from escaping the light-emitting layer. To achieve this, materials used in organic light-emitting devices must have an appropriate band gap and HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital) or LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) energy levels. Currently, in organic light-emitting devices fabricated by solution coating, PEDOT:PSS (Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped:poly(styrenesulfonic acid)), which is used as a hole-transporting material, has a lower LUMO energy level than the organic material used as the light-emitting layer material, making it difficult to fabricate highly efficient, long-life organic light-emitting devices.

[0008] In addition, materials used in organic light-emitting devices must have excellent chemical stability, charge mobility, and interfacial properties with electrodes and adjacent layers. That is, materials used in organic light-emitting devices should be less susceptible to deformation due to moisture or oxygen. They should also have suitable hole or electron mobility to balance the density of holes and electrons in the light-emitting layer of the organic light-emitting device and maximize exciton formation. Furthermore, for device stability, they should have a good interface with electrodes containing metals or metal oxides.

[0009] In addition to the above, materials used in solution processable organic light emitting devices must also have the following properties.

[0010] First, a homogeneous solution that can be stored must be formed. Commercially available materials for deposition processes have good crystallinity and do not dissolve well in solution, or even if a solution is formed, they tend to form crystals, which increases the possibility of the concentration gradient of the solution changing over time or forming defective devices.

[0011] Second, the layer undergoing solution processing must be resistant to solvents and materials compared to other layers. For this reason, materials that incorporate curing groups, such as VNPB (N4,N4'-di(naphthalen-1-yl)-N4,N4'-bis(4-vinylphenyl)biphenyl-4,4'-diamine), are preferred, as they can form self-crosslinked polymers on the substrate after solution coating by heat treatment or UV (ultraviolet) irradiation, or polymers that are sufficiently resistant to subsequent processes. Materials that are naturally resistant to solvents, such as HATCN (hexaazatriphenylenehexacarbonitrile), are also preferred.

[0012] Therefore, there is a need in this technical field to develop organic substances that meet the above requirements. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0020] The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0021] The present invention provides a polymer comprising: a first unit represented by the following chemical formula 1; a second unit represented by the following chemical formula 1 and different from the first unit; a third unit represented by the following chemical formula 2; and a terminal group represented by the following chemical formula 3:

[0022] [ka]

[0023] In the above chemical formulas 1 to 3, L1, L3, and L4 are the same or different and each independently represent a direct bond; or a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group; Ar1, Ar2, and L2 are the same or different and each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group; R1 and R2 are the same or different and each independently represent hydrogen; deuterium; a halogen group; a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted silyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group; a substituted or unsubstituted arylamine group; or a substituted or unsubstituted siloxane group; R and R are the same or different and each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group; or a substituted or unsubstituted arylamine group; n1 and n2 each represent an integer of 1 to 4, and when n1 and n2 each represent an integer of 2 or more, the substituents in each parentheses may be the same or different. m is an integer of 3 or 4, When m is 3, Z is CRa; SiRa; N; or a trivalent substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; When m is 4, Z is C; Si; or a tetravalent substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; Ra is hydrogen; deuterium; a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; Y is a direct bond; a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group; or a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group; When Y is a direct bond; or a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group, Z is a trivalent or tetravalent substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; E is hydrogen; deuterium; a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted silyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; a substituted or unsubstituted arylamine group; a substituted or unsubstituted siloxane group; a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group; a crosslinkable group; or a combination thereof; * denotes a point of attachment within the polymer.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, the polymer includes a first unit and a second unit that are different from each other. When the polymer includes only the first unit or only the second unit, the electrical properties are determined solely by the first unit or the second unit, making it difficult to finely adjust the electrical properties. In contrast, the polymer of the present invention includes both a first unit and a second unit that have different electrical properties, which has the advantage that the electrical properties can be finely adjusted by adjusting the two units. Therefore, by including both a first unit and a second unit that are different from each other, the polymer according to one embodiment of the present invention has the effect of improving hole mobility compared to when the polymer includes only the first unit or the second unit, thereby improving the efficiency and lifetime of an organic light-emitting device using the polymer.

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.

[0028] As used herein, in the ring formed by bonding adjacent groups together, the term "ring" refers to a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon ring or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycle.

[0252] Hereinafter, the polymer will be described.

[0253] In one embodiment of the present invention, the polymer is represented by the following Chemical Formula 4.

[0254] [Chemistry]

[0255] In Chemical Formula 4, A1 is the first unit represented by Chemical Formula 1, B1 is the second unit represented by Chemical Formula 1 and different from the first unit, C1 is the third unit represented by Chemical Formula 2, E1 and E2 are the same as or different from each other and are each independently the end group represented by Chemical Formula 3, a, b, and c are each molar fractions, a is a real number where 0 < a < 1, b is a real number where 0 < b < 1, c is a real number where 0 < c < 1, and a + b + c = 1.

[0256] In one embodiment of the present invention, a, b, and c are determined according to the equivalent ratio of the monomers used in the production of the polymer.

[0257] In one embodiment of the present invention, a is a real number of 0.05 or more and less than 1. In one embodiment of the present invention, a is a real number of 0.1 or more and less than​​​​​​​​​

[0258] In one embodiment of the present invention, b is a real number greater than or equal to 0.05 and less than 1. In one embodiment of the present invention, b is a real number greater than or equal to 0.1 and less than 1. In one embodiment of the present invention, b is a real number of 0.1 to 0.9. In one embodiment of the present invention, b is a real number of 0.1 to 0.8. In one embodiment of the present invention, b is a real number of 0.2 to 0.9. In one embodiment of the present invention, b is a real number of 0.2 to 0.8.

[0259] In one embodiment of the present invention, c is a real number greater than 0 and less than 1. In one embodiment of the present invention, c is a real number greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.9. In one embodiment of the present invention, c is a real number between 0.1 and 0.8.

[0260] In one embodiment of the present invention, a is a real number that is equal to or greater than 0.05 and less than 1, b is a real number that is equal to or greater than 0.05 and less than 1, and c is a real number that is greater than 0 and less than 0.9.

[0261] In one embodiment of the present invention, a is a real number of 0.1 to 0.8, b is a real number of 0.1 to 0.8, and c is a real number of 0.1 to 0.8.

[0262] In the present invention, the a, b, and c are not based on the molar fraction of the entire polymer represented by Chemical Formula 4 including E1 and E2, but are based on the molar fraction of the sum of A1, B1, and C1.

[0263] In one embodiment of the present invention, the molar ratio of (A1+B1+C1):(E1+E2) is 40:60 to 98:2.

[0264] In one embodiment of the invention, the polymer is an alternating polymer, a block polymer, or a random polymer.

[0265] In one embodiment of the present invention, the chemical formula 4 does not necessarily mean that A1, B1, and C1 are arranged in the same order in the polymer. Specifically, A1, B1, and C1 may be arranged in various orders in the polymer. For example, the polymer may be arranged in the order of E1-A1-B1-C1-E2, E1-A1-C1-B1-E2, E1-B1-A1-C1-E2, E1-B1-C1-A1-E2, E1-C1-A1-B1-E2, or E1-C1-B1-A1-E2.

[0266] In addition, Formula 4 does not have a structure in which A1, B1, and C1 are linked to each other only once in the polymer. For example, the polymer may be linked to each other in various content ranges, such as E1-A1-B1-A1-C1-E2, E1-A1-C1-B1-C1-E2, or E1-A1-B1-C1-A1-E2. In this case, the content ranges of A1, B1, and C1 are determined depending on the equivalent ratio of the monomers used in preparing the polymer.

[0267] In one embodiment of the present invention, the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the polymer is 10,000 g / mol to 3,000,000 g / mol. Specifically, the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the polymer is 10,000 g / mol to 1,000,000 g / mol. More specifically, the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the polymer is 10,000 g / mol to 300,000 g / mol.

[0268] In one embodiment of the present invention, the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the polymer is 5,000 g / mol to 3,000,000 g / mol. Specifically, the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the polymer is 5,000 g / mol to 1,000,000 g / mol. More specifically, the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the polymer is 10,000 g / mol to 300,000 g / mol.

[0269] The molecular weight can be measured as a relative value to a standard PS (standard polystyrene) sample by gel permeation chromatography (GPC, waters breeze) using THF (tetrahydrofuran) as an eluent. Specifically, the molecular weight is a value obtained by applying the weight average molecular weight (Mw) and number average molecular weight (Mn) calculated in terms of polystyrene obtained by gel permeation chromatography (GPC, PLgel HFIP GEL, Agilent Technologies).

[0270] Specifically, the polymer to be measured is dissolved in tetrahydrofuran to a concentration of 1%, and 10 μL is injected into the GPC at a flow rate of 0.3 mL / min, and analysis can be performed at 30° C. for a sample concentration of 2.0 mg / mL (100 μL injection). Here, the column is two Waters PLgel HFIP GEL columns connected in series, and the detector is an RI detector (Agilent Waters, 2414), and the data can be processed using ChemStation after measurement at 40° C.

[0271] When the weight average molecular weight of the polymer falls within the above range, the viscosity is suitable, and there is an effect that it is easy to prepare an ink jet element and an organic light emitting element using fine pixels.

[0282] In one embodiment of the present invention, the polymer has one of the following structures:

[0290] In the above structure, a1 is a real number where 0 < a1 < 1, b1 is a real number where 0 < b1 < 1, c1 is a real number where 0 < c1 < 1, e1 is a real number where 0 < e1 < 1, and a1 + b1 + c1 + e1 = 1. Specifically, a1 is a real number greater than or equal to 0.05 and less than 1, b1 is a real number greater than or equal to 0.05 and less than 1, c1 is a real number between 0.05 and 0.9, e1 is a real number between 0.05 and 0.9, and a1 + b1 + c1 + e1 = 1.

[0292] In the above structure, a1, b1, c1, and e1 are determined according to the equivalent amount of the monomer input during the production of the polymer.

[0293] In one embodiment of the present invention, the polymer may be produced using known polymerization techniques. For example, production methods such as Suzuki, Yamamoto, Stille, C-N coupling reaction using a metal catalyst, and arylation reaction using a metal catalyst may be applied.

[0294] In one embodiment of the present invention, the polymer may be substituted with deuterium. In this case, deuterium may be substituted using a precursor material. For example, deuterium can be substituted by treating a non-deuterated monomer and / or polymer with a deuterated solvent in the presence of a Lewis acid H / D exchange catalyst.

[0295] In one embodiment of the present invention, the molecular weight of the polymer may be controlled by adjusting the ratio of the monomers used, and in some embodiments, the molecular weight of the polymer may be controlled using a quenching reaction.

[0296] In one embodiment of the present invention, the polymer may be used as a hole transport material, for example, the polymer may be a "hole transport polymer."

[0297] In one embodiment of the invention, the polymer may be formed into a layer by solution processing. The term "layer" is used interchangeably with the terms "membrane" or "film" and refers to a coating that covers a desired area. The term is not limited by size. The area may be as large as an entire element, as small as a specific functional area such as an actual visual display, or as small as a single sub-pixel.

[0298] In one embodiment of the present invention, the layers, membranes, and films may be formed by any conventional deposition technique, including vapor deposition, liquid deposition (continuous and discontinuous techniques), and thermal transfer. Continuous deposition techniques include, but are not limited to, spin coating, gravure coating, curtain coating, dip coating, slot-die coating, spray coating, and continuous nozzle coating. Discontinuous deposition techniques include, but are not limited to, inkjet printing, gravure printing, and screen printing.

[0299] In one embodiment of the invention, the polymer has an intrinsic viscosity of less than 20 cP. This is particularly useful for inkjet printing applications, where lower viscosity allows for thicker solutions to be jetted. Specifically, the polymer has an intrinsic viscosity of less than 15 cP, more specifically less than 10 cP, and even more specifically less than 8 cP.

[0300] In one embodiment of the present invention, the intrinsic viscosity of the polymer is 1 cP or more and less than 20 cP, specifically 1 cP to 10 cP, more specifically 1 cP to 8 cP.

[0301] The intrinsic viscosity is a value measured at 25° C. using an Ubbelohde viscometer after dissolving the polymer to be measured in a chloroform solvent at a concentration of 0.5 g / dl.

[0305] In one embodiment of the present invention, the coating composition may be in a liquid state. The term "liquid" means that the coating composition is in a liquid state at room temperature and normal pressure.

[0306] In one embodiment of the present invention, the solvent preferably does not dissolve the material applied to the underlayer.

[0307] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the coating composition is applied to an organic layer of an organic light-emitting device, a solvent that does not dissolve the material of the underlying layer is used. For example, when the coating composition is applied to a hole transport layer, a solvent that does not dissolve the material of the underlying layer (first electrode, hole injection layer, etc.) is used. This has the advantage that the hole transport layer can be formed by solution processing.

[0308] In one embodiment of the present invention, the coating composition exhibits improved resistance to solvents during heat treatment after coating.

[0309] For example, if a coating composition is prepared using a solvent that dissolves the polymer and the layer is prepared by a solution process, the layer can be resistant to the same solvent after heat treatment.

[0310] Therefore, if an organic layer is formed using the polymer and then heat treated, solution processing is possible when applying another organic layer.

[0311] In one embodiment of the present invention, examples of the solvent contained in the coating composition include chlorine-based solvents such as chloroform, methylene chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, chlorobenzene, and o-dichlorobenzene; ether-based solvents such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; aromatic hydrocarbon-based solvents such as toluene, xylene, trimethylbenzene, and mesitylene; ketone-based solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and cyclohexanone; ester-based solvents such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, and ethyl cellosolve acetate; ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether; Examples of solvents include polyhydric alcohols and derivatives thereof such as dimethoxyethane, propylene glycol, diethoxymethane, triethylene glycol monoethyl ether, glycerin, and 1,2-hexanediol; alcohol-based solvents such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, and cyclohexanol; sulfoxide-based solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide; amide-based solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and N,N-dimethylformamide; benzoate-based solvents such as methyl benzoate, butyl benzoate, and 3-phenoxybenzoate; and tetralin, but are not limited to these as long as they are capable of dissolving or dispersing the polymer according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0312] In one embodiment of the present invention, the solvent may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0313] In one embodiment of the present invention, the boiling point of the solvent is preferably, but not limited to, 40°C to 350°C, and more preferably 80°C to 330°C.

[0314] In one embodiment of the present invention, the concentration of the polymer in the coating composition is preferably 0.1 wt / v% to 20 wt / v%, more preferably 0.5 wt / v% to 10 wt / v%, but is not limited thereto.

[0315] In one embodiment of the present invention, the remaining component in the coating composition, except for the polymer, is a solvent.

[0342] In the above structure, the "electron transport layer / electron injection layer" may be replaced with an "electron injection and transport layer" or a "layer that simultaneously injects and transports electrons."

[0343] For example, the organic light-emitting device of the present invention may be laminated in a structure such as "anode / hole injection layer / hole transport layer / light-emitting layer / electron injection and transport layer / cathode" in which the electron transport layer / electron injection layer of (7) above is replaced with an electron injection and transport layer.

[0344] In the above structure, the "hole injection layer / hole transport layer" may be replaced by a "hole injection and transport layer" or a "layer that simultaneously injects and transports holes."

[0345] The organic light emitting device of the present specification may be manufactured using materials and methods well known in the art, except that at least one of the organic material layers is manufactured to contain the polymer. Specifically, the organic light emitting device may be formed using a coating composition in which at least one of the organic material layers contains the polymer.

[0346] For example, the organic light-emitting device of the present invention can be fabricated by sequentially stacking an anode, organic material layer, and cathode on a substrate. In this case, a metal, conductive metal oxide, or alloy thereof can be deposited on a substrate using a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method such as sputtering or e-beam evaporation to form an anode. Organic material layers including a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an emitting layer, and an electron injection and transport layer can then be formed on top of the anode, and a material suitable for use as a cathode can then be deposited on top of the organic material layers. In addition to this method, an organic light-emitting device can also be fabricated by sequentially depositing a cathode material, an organic material layer, and an anode material on a substrate.

[0347] The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing an organic light emitting device formed using the coating composition.

[0348] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the steps of preparing a substrate; forming a first electrode on the substrate; forming one or more organic material layers on the first electrode; and forming a second electrode on the organic material layers, wherein one or more of the organic material layers are formed using the coating composition.

[0349] In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic layer formed using the coating composition is formed by spin coating.

[0353] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of forming an organic layer using the coating composition includes the steps of coating the coating composition on the first electrode; and subjecting the coated coating composition to a heat treatment or a light treatment.

[0355] In one embodiment of the present invention, the atmosphere in which the organic layer formed using the coating composition is heat-treated is preferably an inert gas atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen.

[0356] When the organic material layer formed using the coating composition is formed by a heat treatment or light treatment step, the resistance to solvents is increased, and multiple layers can be formed by repeatedly performing solution deposition and crosslinking methods, which increases stability and improves the lifespan of the device.

[0357] In one embodiment of the present invention, layers other than the organic layer formed using the coating composition may be formed by spin coating, printing, or vapor deposition. For example, when the coating composition is applied to a hole injection layer or a hole transport layer, the hole injection layer or the hole transport layer may be formed by spin coating, and the other organic layers may be formed by spin coating, printing, or vapor deposition. Furthermore, an upper layer provided in contact with the organic layer formed using the coating composition may be formed by spin coating. For example, when the coating composition is applied to a hole transport layer, the hole transport layer may be formed by spin coating, an emitting layer formed on the hole transport layer so as to be in contact with the hole transport layer may be formed by spin coating, and an electron injection and transport layer formed on the emitting layer may be formed by vapor deposition.

Specifically, the hole injection layer may be, but is not limited to, a carbazole-based compound, an arylamine-based compound, or a compound in which a substituted or unsubstituted carbazole and an arylamine group are linked together.

[0364] In one embodiment of the present invention, the host material is an anthracene derivative, and the dopant material is a benzofluorene-based compound substituted with an arylamine group or a compound containing boron. Specifically, the host material is an anthracene derivative substituted or unsubstituted with deuterium, and the dopant material may be, but is not limited to, a bis(diarylamino)benzofluorene-based compound or a compound containing boron.

[0365] In one embodiment of the present invention, the light-emitting layer includes quantum dots. For example, the light-emitting layer may include a matrix resin and quantum dots, and the type and content of the quantum dots may be those known in the art.

[0366] When quantum dots are contained in the light-emitting layer, the HOMO energy level is lower than when an organic compound is contained in the light-emitting layer, so the common layer must also exhibit a low HOMO energy level. The compound according to one embodiment of the present invention exhibits a low HOMO energy level by containing a halogen group, making it possible to introduce quantum dots into the light-emitting layer.

[0367] In one embodiment of the present invention, the common layer is a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a layer that simultaneously injects and transports holes, an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, or a layer that simultaneously injects and transports electrons.

[0368] In one embodiment of the present invention, the electron transport layer is a layer that accepts electrons and transports them to the light-emitting layer.

[0373] For example, when the polymer represented by Formula 4 is contained in a hole transport layer, one or more of the bank layer, hole injection layer, and light emitting layer adjacent to the hole transport layer contain fluorine.

[0374] When a layer adjacent to the organic layer containing the polymer including the first unit, the second unit, the third unit, and the terminal group contains fluorine, the dipole moment changes due to the fluorine, which has the effect of forming a uniform layer.

[0375] The organic light emitting device according to the present invention may be top-emitting, bottom-emitting or double-sided emitting, depending on the materials used. [Example]

[0437] It can be seen from Table 3 that the organic light-emitting devices employing the polymer according to the present invention (Examples 2-1 to 2-5) exhibit higher efficiency than the organic light-emitting devices employing other polymers (Comparative Examples 2-1 and 2-2). This is because the polymer according to the present invention includes the first unit and the second unit having different charge mobilities, thereby controlling the balance of charge / hole transport.

[0438] [Example 2-6] A glass substrate on which ITO was deposited to a thickness of 1500 Å was ultrasonically cleaned using acetone for 10 minutes. It was then placed in distilled water containing detergent and ultrasonically cleaned for 10 minutes, followed by two 10-minute ultrasonic cleaning sessions with distilled water. After the distilled water cleaning, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned for 10 minutes using isopropyl alcohol and then dried. The substrate was then transported to a glove box.

[0439] A 2 wt% cyclohexanone solution containing Compound A and Compound B (in a weight ratio of 8:2) was spin-coated on the ITO transparent electrode prepared as described above, followed by heat treatment at 230°C for 30 minutes to form a hole injection layer with a thickness of 600 Å. A 0.8 wt% toluene solution containing Polymer 6 prepared in Synthesis Example 7 was spin-coated on the hole injection layer to form a hole transport layer with a thickness of 1000 Å. Compound C and Compound D (in a weight ratio of 9:1) were dissolved in toluene, and a 550 Å-thick light-emitting layer was formed on the hole transport layer by solution processing. Compound E (in a weight ratio of 5:1) was vacuum-deposited on the light-emitting layer to form a 400 Å-thick electron injection and transport layer. A 5 Å-thick LiF layer and a 1000 Å-thick aluminum layer were sequentially deposited on the electron injection and transport layer to form a cathode.

[0440] [ka]

[0441] During the above process, the deposition rate of the organic material was maintained at 0.4 Å / sec to 1.0 Å / sec, the deposition rate of the cathode LiF was maintained at 0.3 Å / sec, and the deposition rate of aluminum was maintained at 2 Å / sec. The vacuum during deposition was 2×10 -8 torr~5×10 -6 torr was maintained.

[0442] [Examples 2-7 to 2-14] In Examples 2-7 to 2-14, organic light emitting devices were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 2-6, except that the polymers in Table 4 below were used instead of Polymer 6 in Example 2-6.

[0443] [Comparative Examples 2-3 to 2-5] In Comparative Examples 2-3 to 2-5, organic light-emitting devices were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 2-6, except that the following compound Q5, polymer Q3, and polymer Q4 were used instead of polymer 6 in Example 2-6.

[0444] [ka]

[0445] [Table 4]

[0446] It can be seen from Table 4 that the organic light-emitting devices employing the polymer according to the present invention (Examples 2-6 to 2-14) exhibit higher efficiency than the organic light-emitting devices employing other polymers or Compound Q5 (Comparative Examples 2-3 to 2-5). This is because the polymer according to the present invention contains first and second units having different charge mobilities, thereby controlling the balance of charge / hole transport.

[0447] In summary, it can be seen from Tables 3 and 4 that polymers containing the first unit and the second unit have superior performance compared to polymers containing only one of the two units.

[0448] Although the preferred embodiment (hole transport layer) of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto and can be implemented in various modifications within the scope of the claims and the detailed description of the invention, which also fall within the scope of the invention.
