Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application claims the benefit of the filing date of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0057348, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on May 10, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present specification relates to a compound, a coating composition including the compound, an organic light-emitting device formed using the coating composition, and a method for manufacturing the same. [Background technology]
[0003] Organic light-emitting devices are an example of devices 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 light-emitting 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 injection layer, and an electron transport layer.
[0004] Conventionally, a deposition process has been mainly used to manufacture organic light-emitting devices. However, manufacturing organic light-emitting devices using a deposition process has problems such as a large loss of materials and difficulty in manufacturing large-area devices. To solve these problems, devices using a solution process have been developed.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need for development of materials for solution processing. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a novel compound and an organic light-emitting device containing the compound. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing an organic light-emitting device, comprising: preparing a first electrode; forming one or more organic material layers on the first electrode; and forming a second electrode on the organic material layers, wherein the forming of the organic material layers comprises forming one or more organic material layers using the coating composition. [Effects of the Invention]

Therefore, when applied to an organic layer, the interfacial properties with other layers are improved and hole mobility is facilitated. Furthermore, the compound has excellent hole mobility due to the inclusion of a fluoro group (-F) at a specific position.

[0015] Furthermore, the compound according to an embodiment of the present invention exhibits resistance to certain solvents after curing, allowing for solution processing during device fabrication, thereby enabling devices with larger area. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0016] [Figure 1] 1 is a diagram illustrating the structure of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0017] The present invention will be described in detail below. One embodiment of the present invention provides a compound of Formula 1:
[0018] [ka]
[0019] In the above Chemical Formula 1, Cy1 to Cy4 are the same or different and each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon ring group; Y1 and Y2 are the same or different and each independently represents O, S, Se, or NR; L is a substituted or unsubstituted divalent hydrocarbon ring group; or a substituted or unsubstituted divalent heterocyclic group; L1 to L4 are the same or different and each independently represent a direct bond; a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group; or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylene group; L10 and L11 are the same or different and each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group; X1 and X2 are the same or different and each independently represent a curable group; R and R1 to R4 are the same or different and each independently represent hydrogen; deuterium; a halogen group; a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group; a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group; n1 and n2 each represent an integer of 0 to 4, and when n1 and n2 each represent 2 or more, the two or more substituents in parentheses are the same or different from each other, m1 and m2 are each an integer of 1 to 5, n1+m1 is 5 or less, and n2+m2 is 5 or less; n3 and n4 are each an integer of 1 to 7, and when n3 and n4 are each 2 or more, the two or more substituents in parentheses are the same or different.
[0020] The compound of Formula 1 has high stability and a high HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) energy level because the fluorenyl group contains at least one fluoro group (-F).
[0021] Furthermore, the compound has a high HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) energy level due to the introduction of a heteroaryl group near the N atom.
[0022] Therefore, when the compound is incorporated into a hole injection layer or a hole transport layer in an organic light emitting device, the interfacial properties with the adjacent layer are improved, and hole migration is facilitated. In particular, when the compound of Formula 1 is incorporated into a hole injection layer in an organic light emitting device, it facilitates hole injection from the hole injection layer to the hole transport layer, which has a significant impact on improving the life of the device.
[0023] Furthermore, the compound has excellent solubility, which allows for the selection of various solvents when preparing a coating composition.
[0024] Furthermore, the compound has the advantage that it forms a completely hardened thin film after heat or light treatment, thereby forming a stable thin film that is not damaged by the subsequent solution process.
[0025] Furthermore, the compound exhibits resistance to certain solvents after curing, allowing for solution processing during device fabrication, thereby enabling devices with larger area.
[0026] As used herein, the term "energy level" refers to the magnitude of energy. Therefore, the energy level is interpreted as meaning the absolute value of the energy value. For example, a deep energy level means that the absolute value increases in the negative direction from the vacuum level.

[0109] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the coating composition is applied to an organic layer, a solvent that does not dissolve the material of the underlying layer is used, which has the advantage that the organic layer can be applied by solution processing.
[0110] In one embodiment of the present invention, the compound contains a curable group, which improves the resistance to solvents during heat treatment after coating, i.e., the compound is insoluble in certain solvents due to crosslinking after coating.
[0111] For example, if a coating composition is prepared using a solvent that dissolves the compound and a layer is prepared by a solution process, the layer can be resistant to the same solvent when cured by heat treatment.
[0112] Therefore, if an organic material layer is formed using the coating composition and then cured, a solution process is possible when applying another organic material layer.

For example, after forming an organic layer using the coating composition, the coating composition is cured by a heat treatment or a light treatment process, so that an upper layer can be applied by a solution process.
[0114] For example, when the coating composition is applied to a hole injection layer, it is advantageous to use a particular solvent to which the cured coating composition is resistant in fabricating an overlying layer (such as a hole transport layer), thereby enabling the overlying layer to be applied by solution processing.
[0115] In one embodiment of the present invention, the solvent contained in the coating composition is a solvent that dissolves the compound.

[0117] In one embodiment of the invention, the coating composition does not further comprise a p-doping material.
[0118] In one embodiment of the present invention, the coating composition further comprises a p-dopant.
[0119] In this specification, the p-doping material refers to a material that causes a host material to have p-semiconductor properties, which means the property of receiving or transporting holes at the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level, i.e., the property of a material having high hole conductivity.

[0125] In other embodiments, the coating composition further comprises a monomer containing a functional group that is crosslinkable by heat or light; or a monomer containing a terminal group that is capable of forming a polymer by heat.

However, the structure of the organic light-emitting device is not limited thereto, and the device may include a smaller number of organic material layers.
[0142] For example, the structure of an organic light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIG.

[0149] The organic light-emitting device of the present invention may be manufactured using materials and methods well known in the art, except that at least one of the organic layers is formed using a coating composition containing the compound of Formula 1.
[0150] 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 is 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 a layer that simultaneously transports and injects electrons, are then formed on the anode using a solution process or evaporation process, and a material usable as a cathode is then deposited on the anode. 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.
[0151] The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing an organic light emitting device formed using the coating composition.
[0152] Specifically, one embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: preparing a first electrode; forming one or more organic material layers on the first electrode; and forming a second electrode on the organic material layers, wherein the step of forming the organic material layers includes forming one or more organic material layers using the coating composition.
[0153] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of forming one or more organic layers using the coating composition is performed using a spin coating method.
[0154] In another embodiment, the step of forming one or more organic layers using the coating composition utilizes a printing method.
[0155] In one embodiment of the present invention, the printing method includes, but is not limited to, inkjet printing, nozzle printing, offset printing, transfer printing, screen printing, and the like.
[0156] The coating composition according to one embodiment of the present invention has structural properties that make it suitable for solution processing and can be formed by a printing method, which is advantageous in that it is time- and cost-effective when manufacturing devices.
[0157] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of forming one or more organic layers 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.
[0158] In one embodiment of the present invention, the heat treatment may be performed by heat treatment. The heat treatment temperature in the heat treatment is 85°C to 250°C. Specifically, it may be 100°C to 250°C, and more specifically, it may be 150°C to 250°C.
[0159] In one embodiment of the present invention, the heat treatment time in the heat treatment step is 1 minute to 2 hours, and according to another embodiment, it may be 1 minute to 1 hour, and according to another embodiment, it may be 30 minutes to 1 hour.
[0160] In one embodiment of the present invention, the light treatment step may be performed by UV irradiation, and the light treatment step may be performed for 30 minutes to 5 hours.
[0161] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of coating the coating composition on the first electrode includes a step of coating the coating composition on the first electrode and a step of coating the coating composition on another organic layer provided on the first electrode.
[0162] In one embodiment of the present invention, the other organic layer means an organic layer formed from another material, without including a coating composition or a cured product thereof.
[0163] When coating the coating composition on the first electrode, 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, the coating composition contains a solvent that does not dissolve the material of the underlying layer (first electrode, hole injection layer, etc.).
[0164] By subjecting the coated coating composition to a heat treatment or light treatment, the compounds contained in the coating composition can be crosslinked to provide an organic material layer having a thin film structure. In this case, when another layer is laminated on the surface of the organic material layer formed using the coating composition, the organic material layer can be prevented from being dissolved, morphologically affected, or decomposed by a solvent.
[0165] Therefore, when an organic layer formed using the coating composition is subjected to 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.

[0167] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cathode material is preferably a material with a low work function so as to facilitate electron injection into the organic layer.

[0261] <Element example> Experimental Example 1 A glass substrate coated with a 1,500 Å thick thin film of ITO (indium tin oxide) was placed in distilled water with dissolved detergent and ultrasonically cleaned.

[0263] A 2 wt % toluene ink containing the following compound A was spin-coated onto the hole injection layer and heat-treated at 120°C for 10 minutes to form a hole transport layer with a thickness of 200 Å. A 92:8 weight ratio of compound B and compound C was vacuum-deposited onto the hole transport layer to form a 200 Å emissive layer.

[0266] Experimental Examples 2-9 An organic light emitting device was manufactured in the same manner as in Experimental Example 1, except that the compound shown in Table 1 below was used instead of Compound 1 when manufacturing the hole injection layer (HIL).
[0267] Comparative Examples 1 to 15 An organic light emitting device was manufactured in the same manner as in Experimental Example 1, except that the compound shown in Table 1 below was used instead of Compound 1 when manufacturing the hole injection layer.
[0268] Compounds CE1 to CE15 used in Comparative Examples 1 to 15 are as follows.
[0269] [ka]
[0270] [ka]
[0271] The organic light emitting devices manufactured in the above experimental examples and comparative examples were subjected to a current of 10 mA / cm 2 The driving voltage, external quantum efficiency, luminance, and lifetime were measured at a current density of 100 mA, and the results are shown in Table 1 below. The external quantum efficiency was calculated by dividing the number of emitted photons by the number of injected charge carriers. T95 refers to the time (hr) required for the luminance to decrease to 95% from the initial luminance (500 nit).
[0272] [Table 1]
[0273] Experimental Examples 1 to 9 used the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 according to the present invention as a host for the hole injection layer, and Comparative Examples 1 to 15 used compounds CE1, CE2, CE11 to CE15 (Comparative Examples 1, 2, 11 to 15) to which no fluoro group (-F) is bonded, compound CE3 (Comparative Example 3) containing four or more curing groups, compound CE4 (Comparative Example 4) containing no curing group, or compounds CE5 to CE10 (Comparative Examples 5 to 10) containing an aryl group instead of a heteroaryl group.
[0274] As shown in Table 1, the organic light-emitting devices (Experimental Examples 1 to 9) using the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 according to the present invention as a host for the hole injection layer exhibited significantly reduced driving voltage and significantly improved lifetime compared to the organic light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 1 to 15. Furthermore, the organic light-emitting devices of Experimental Examples 1 to 9 exhibited increased efficiency and brightness compared to the organic light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 1 to 15. This confirms that the heteroaryl group (e.g., dibenzofuran group) and fluoro group (-F) introduced into the molecule improved film and interface properties, and the change in HOMO level improved hole mobility and hole / electron balance, thereby improving the performance of the organic light-emitting device. On the other hand, the compound of Comparative Example 3, which used a compound having four or more curing groups, did not cure even after heat treatment, and the remaining curing groups likely increased the driving voltage and reduced lifetime. The compound of Comparative Example 4, which used a compound without curing groups, lacked solvent resistance even after heat treatment. Therefore, most of the materials were washed away during the formation of the hole transport layer (HTL), resulting in the device not functioning properly. [Explanation of symbols]
