Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to organometallic compounds and organic light-emitting devices. [Background technology]

[0002] Display devices are attracting increasing attention as they are applied to various fields. Among these display elements, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology, including OLEDs, is rapidly developing.

[0003] An organic light-emitting element is a device in which, when an electric charge is injected into a light-emitting layer formed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode, electrons and holes combine to form excitons, and the energy of these excitons is then released as light. Compared to existing display technologies, organic light-emitting elements have the advantages of being able to be driven at low voltage, consuming relatively little power, having excellent color reproduction, and being able to be used with flexible substrates, thus enabling a wide range of applications and allowing for flexible adjustment of the size of the display device.

[0004] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) offer superior viewing angles and brightness ratios compared to liquid crystal displays (LCDs), eliminate the need for backlights, and enable lightweight and ultra-thin designs. An organic light-emitting diode is formed by arranging multiple organic layers, such as a hole injection layer, hole transport layer, hole transport auxiliary layer, electron blocking layer, electron transport layer, and electron injection layer, between a negative electrode (electron injection electrode; cathode) and a positive electrode (hole injection electrode; anode).

[0005] In these organic light-emitting devices, when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, electrons and holes are injected from the negative and positive electrodes, respectively, and excitons generated in the light-emitting layer emit light while falling back to the ground state.

[0006] Organic materials used in organic light-emitting devices can be broadly classified into light-emitting materials and charge-transporting materials. Light-emitting materials are a crucial factor in determining the luminescence efficiency of organic light-emitting devices. They must have high quantum efficiency, excellent electron and hole mobility, and be uniformly and stably present in the light-emitting layer. Light-emitting materials are classified into blue, red, and green light-emitting materials based on the color they emit. As color-emitting materials, they are used as hosts and dopants to increase color purity and enhance luminescence efficiency through energy transfer.

[0007] In fluorescent materials, only about 25% of the excitons formed in the light-emitting layer, known as singlets, are used to produce light, while the remaining 75% of triplets are almost entirely lost as heat. In contrast, phosphorescent materials have a light-emitting mechanism that converts both singlets and triplets into light.

[0008] To date, organometallic compounds have been used as phosphorescent materials in organic light-emitting devices. However, there is still a technical need to improve the performance of organic light-emitting devices by developing highly efficient phosphorescent dopant materials and applying hosts with optimal photophysical properties, thereby increasing the efficiency and lifespan of existing devices. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

The first hole-transporting layer 251, the second hole-transporting layer 252, and the third hole-transporting layer 253 in Figure 3 can be applied in the same or similar manner as described above for the hole-transporting layer 150 in Figure 1. Furthermore, the first electron transport layer 271, the second electron transport layer 272, and the third electron transport layer 273 in Figure 3 can be applied in the same or similar manner as described above to the electron transport layer 170 in Figure 1.

[0102] Furthermore, an organic light-emitting element according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a tandem structure in which four or more light-emitting elements and three or more charge-generating layers are arranged between a first electrode and a second electrode.

[0103] The organic light-emitting element according to the present invention can be used in organic light-emitting display devices and lighting devices to which the organic light-emitting element is applied.

[0104] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an organic light-emitting device is provided, comprising a substrate, a driving element located on the substrate, and an organic light-emitting element located on the substrate and in contact with the driving element.

[0105] In one embodiment, Figure 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an organic light-emitting device to which an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is applied.

[0106] As shown in Figure 4, the organic light-emitting display device 3000 may include a substrate 3010, an organic light-emitting element 4000, and an encapsulation film 3900 covering the organic light-emitting element 4000. A driving thin-film transistor (Td), which is a driving element, and the organic light-emitting element 4000 connected to the driving thin-film transistor (Td) are located on the substrate 3010.

[0107] Although not explicitly shown in Figure 4, the substrate 3010 is further formed with gate wiring and data wiring that intersect each other and define pixel regions, power wiring that extends parallel to and spaced apart from either the gate wiring or the data wiring, switching thin-film transistors connected to the gate wiring and the data wiring, and storage capacitors connected to one electrode of the power wiring and the switching thin-film transistor.

[0108] The driving thin-film transistor (Td) is connected to the switching thin-film transistor and includes a semiconductor layer 3100, a gate electrode 3300, a source electrode 3520, and a drain electrode 3540.

[0109] The semiconductor layer 3100 is formed on the substrate 3010 and may be made of an oxide semiconductor material or polycrystalline silicon. If the semiconductor layer 3100 is made of an oxide semiconductor material, a light-shielding pattern (not shown) may be formed on the lower part of the semiconductor layer 3100. The light-shielding pattern prevents light from entering the semiconductor layer 3100 and prevents the semiconductor layer 3100 from degrading due to light. Alternatively, the semiconductor layer 3100 may be made of polycrystalline silicon, in which case impurities may be doped into both edges of the semiconductor layer 3100.

[0110] A gate insulating film 3200 made of an insulating material is formed over the entire surface of the substrate 3010 above the semiconductor layer 3100. The gate insulating film 3200 may be made of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.

[0111] A gate electrode 3300, made of a conductive material such as metal, is formed on top of the gate insulating film 3200, corresponding to the center of the semiconductor layer 3100. The gate electrode 3300 is connected to a switching thin-film transistor.

[0112] An interlayer insulating film 3400 made of an insulating material is formed over the entire surface of the substrate 3010 above the gate electrode 3300. The interlayer insulating film 3400 may be formed from an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride, or from an organic insulating material such as benzocyclobutene or photo-acrylic.

[0113] The interlayer insulating film 3400 has first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 3420 and 3440 that expose both sides of the semiconductor layer 3100. The first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 3420 and 3440 are located on both sides of the gate electrode 3300, spaced apart from the gate electrode 3300.

[0114] A source electrode 3520 and a drain electrode 3540, made of a conductive material such as metal, are formed on the interlayer insulating film 3400. The source electrode 3520 and the drain electrode 3540 are positioned spaced apart from the gate electrode 3300 and contact both sides of the semiconductor layer 3100 via first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 3420 and 3440, respectively. The source electrode 3520 is connected to a power wiring (not shown).

[0115] The semiconductor layer 3100, gate electrode 3300, source electrode 3520, and drain electrode 3540 constitute a driving thin-film transistor (Td), and the driving thin-film transistor (Td) has a coplanar structure in which the gate electrode 3300, source electrode 3520, and drain electrode 3540 are located on top of the semiconductor layer 3100.

[0116] In contrast, the driving thin-film transistor (Td) may have an inverted staggered structure in which the gate electrode is located at the bottom of the semiconductor layer and the source electrode and drain electrode are located at the top of the semiconductor layer. In this case, the semiconductor layer may be made of amorphous silicon. On the other hand, the switching thin-film transistor (not shown) may have substantially the same structure as the driving thin-film transistor (Td).

[0117] On the other hand, the organic light-emitting display device 3000 may include a color filter 3600 that absorbs light generated by the organic light-emitting element 4000. For example, the color filter 3600 can absorb red (R), green (G), blue (B), and white (W) light. In this case, the red, green, and blue color filter patterns that absorb light may be formed separately for each pixel region, and each of these color filter patterns may be superimposed on the intermediate layer 4300 of the organic light-emitting element 4000 that emits light in the wavelength band to be absorbed. By employing the color filter 3600, the organic light-emitting display device 3000 can realize full color.

[0118] For example, if the organic light-emitting device 3000 is of the bottom-emission type, the light-absorbing color filter 3600 may be located on top of the interlayer insulating film 3400 corresponding to the organic light-emitting element 4000. In an exemplary embodiment, if the organic light-emitting device 3000 is of the top-emission type, the color filter may be located on top of the organic light-emitting element 4000, that is, on top of the second electrode 4200. As an example, the color filter 3600 can be formed with a thickness of 2 to 5 μm.

[0119] On the other hand, the planarization layer 3700, which has a drain contact hole 3720 that exposes the drain electrode 3540 of the driving thin-film transistor (Td), is formed to cover the driving thin-film transistor (Td).

[0120] On the planarization layer 3700, a first electrode 4100 is formed separately for each pixel region, and is connected to the drain electrode 3540 of the driving thin-film transistor (Td) through a drain contact hole 3720.

[0121] The first electrode 4100 may be a positive electrode (anode) and may be made of a conductive material with a relatively large work function value. For example, the first electrode 4100 may be made of a transparent conductive material such as ITO, IZO, or ZnO.

[0122] On the other hand, if the organic light-emitting device 3000 is of the top-emission type, a reflective electrode or reflective layer may be further formed below the first electrode 4100. For example, the reflective electrode or reflective layer may be made of aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), nickel (Ni), or a silver-palladium-copper (Ag-Pd-Cu:APC) alloy.

[0123] A bank layer 3800 is formed on the planarization layer 3700, covering the edge of the first electrode 4100. The bank layer 3800 exposes the center of the first electrode 4100, corresponding to the pixel region.

[0124] An intermediate layer 4300 is formed on the first electrode 4100, and if necessary, the organic light-emitting element 4000 may have a tandem structure. For the tandem structure, refer to Figures 2 to 4 showing exemplary embodiments of the present invention and the above description relating thereto.

[0125] A second electrode 4200 is formed on the upper part of the substrate 3010 on which the intermediate layer 4300 is formed. The second electrode 4200 is located across the entire display area, is made of a conductive material with a relatively small work function value, and can be used as a negative electrode (cathode). For example, the second electrode 4200 may be made of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), or aluminum-magnesium alloy (Al-Mg).

[0126] The first electrode 4100, the intermediate layer 4300, and the second electrode 4200 form an organic light-emitting element 4000.

[0127] A sealing film 3900 is formed on the second electrode 4200 to prevent external moisture from penetrating the organic light-emitting element 4000. Although not explicitly shown in Figure 4, the sealing film 3900 may have a triple-layer structure in which a first inorganic layer, an intermediate layer, and an inorganic layer are sequentially laminated, and is not limited to this.

[0128] The following describes embodiments of the present invention. However, the following embodiments are merely examples of the present invention and are not limited thereto. [Examples]

[0129] Example 1 The ITO substrate was cleaned with UV ozone before use and then loaded into the evaporation system. The substrate was then transferred into a vacuum deposition chamber for depositing any other layers on top of it. Approximately 10 -7 Under Torr vacuum, the following layers were deposited by evaporation from a heated boat in the following order:

[0130] A 100 Å thick hole injection layer was formed on a prepared ITO transparent electrode by thermal vacuum deposition of HATCN (see structure below) as a hole injection material. Then, a 700 Å thick hole transport layer was formed by thermal vacuum deposition of HTL (see structure below) as a hole transport material. Next, a 300 Å thick luminescent layer was formed using RD6 as the dopant and a mixed material of RHH1 and REH1 (RHH1:REH1=1:1, by weight) as the host. The doping concentration of the dopant in the luminescent layer was 10% by weight. Next, Alq3 (see structure below) was sequentially deposited as an electron transport material and LiF as an electron injection material using thermal vacuum deposition to form a 300 Å thick electron transport layer and a 10 Å thick electron injection layer. Then, a 1000 Å thick layer of aluminum was deposited to form the negative electrode, thereby fabricating an organic light-emitting element with an ITO / hole injection layer / hole transport layer / light-emitting layer / electron transport layer / electron injection layer / negative electrode structure. After depositing each layer, the material was transferred from the deposition chamber to a drying box to form a coating, and subsequently sealed using UV-curable epoxy and a moisture getter.

[0131] Examples 2-144 and Comparative Examples 1-4 Except for using the dopant and host materials listed in Tables 1 to 8 below in Example 1, the organic light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 and Examples 2 to 144 were fabricated in the same manner as in Example 1. The mixing ratio of the host materials in Examples 2 to 144 was 1:1 (by weight). Comparative Examples 1 to 4 each used one type of "CBP" with the following structure as the host for the light-emitting layer.

[0132] The materials used in Examples 1-144 and Comparative Example 1-4 are as follows: [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka]

[0133] Experimental example The organic light-emitting devices produced in Examples 1-144 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were 9 mm 2 It has an emission region. Each organic light-emitting element was connected to an external power supply, and the element characteristics were evaluated at room temperature using a current supply (KEITHLEY) and a photometer PR650. The results are shown in Tables 1 to 8 below. When a DC voltage was applied, light emission with the characteristics shown in Tables 1 to 8 below was confirmed.

[0134] Specifically, the current density is 10 mA / cm². 2 The reference drive voltage (V), external quantum efficiency (EQE), and lifetime characteristics (LT95) were measured. These measurements for Examples 1 to 144 were then converted to a relative value (percentage, %) for one of Comparative Examples 1 to 4, and the results are shown in Tables 1 to 8 below.

[0135] LT95 lifespan refers to 40°C and 40mA / cm². 2 This refers to the time it takes for an organic light-emitting element to initially lose 5% of its brightness (lifetime from 100% to 95%). LT95 is the most difficult element characteristic specification to meet and determines whether or not image burn-in occurs in the organic light-emitting element.

[0143] [Table 8]

[0144] From the results in Tables 1 to 8 above, it was found that Examples 1 to 144 are organic light-emitting devices in which an organometallic compound satisfying the structure represented by Chemical Formula 1 is applied as a dopant to the light-emitting layer, and applied to a host material of a mixed material of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 4 and the compound represented by Chemical Formula 5. Compared to the organic light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 1 to 4, which used a single material host, the driving voltage was lower, and the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and lifetime (LT95) were improved.
