Description

Organic light-emitting devices and films

[0001] The present invention relates to organic light-emitting devices and films having good light-emitting properties.

[0002] Active research is being conducted into improving the luminous efficiency of organic light-emitting devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). For example, Non-Patent Document 1 describes the use of a compound exhibiting a multiple resonance effect, such as 5,9-Diphenyl-5H,9H-[1,4]benzazaborino[2,3,4-kl]phenazaborine (DABNA-1), to exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence due to a reverse intersystem crossing process, resulting in emission with a narrow half-width and high color purity. Such emission can achieve high luminous efficiency and is therefore useful for display-oriented applications. Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2 also describe the modification of DABNA-1 to adjust the energy levels of the highest accessible molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), thereby promoting the fluorescence emission process and reverse intersystem crossing process that contribute to light emission, thereby improving electroluminescence quantum efficiency.

[0004] Although various studies have been conducted on compounds that exhibit the multiple resonance effect, much remains unknown regarding the relationship between their structure and luminescence properties. To manufacture practical light-emitting devices, it is necessary to provide materials with even slightly better luminescence properties. It is also desirable not only to provide materials with excellent luminescence properties, but also to provide organic light-emitting devices with even better luminescence properties by selecting materials to be used in combination with the materials. Therefore, the present inventors have developed derivatives of compounds that exhibit the multiple resonance effect and have conducted extensive research with the aim of providing organic light-emitting devices with even better luminescence properties by selecting materials to be used in combination with the materials.

[0005] As a result of intensive research, the present inventors have found that, among compounds that exhibit the multiple resonance effect, those having a specific structure have excellent luminescence properties. Furthermore, they have found that these excellent luminescence properties are further improved by using them in combination with a material having a specific structure.

The acceptor group is a group with a positive Hammett σp value. Here, the "Hammett σp value" was proposed by L. P. Hammett and quantifies the influence of a substituent on the reaction rate or equilibrium of a para-substituted benzene derivative. Specifically, it is a constant (σp) specific to the substituent in the para-substituted benzene derivative, which holds between the substituent and the reaction rate constant or equilibrium constant: log(k / k0) = ρσp or log(K / K0) = ρσp. In the above equation, k0 is the rate constant of the benzene derivative without a substituent, k is the rate constant of the benzene derivative substituted with a substituent, K0 is the equilibrium constant of the benzene derivative without a substituent, K is the equilibrium constant of the benzene derivative substituted with a substituent, and ρ is a reaction constant determined by the type and conditions of the reaction. For an explanation of the "Hammett σp value" in the present invention and the numerical values ​​of each substituent, reference can be made to the description of the σp value in Hansch, C. et al., Chem. Rev., 91, 165-195 (1991). １ and A ２The acceptor group that can be adopted is more preferably a group having a Hammett σp value of greater than 0.2. Examples of groups having a Hammett σp value of greater than 0.2 include a cyano group, an aryl group substituted with at least a cyano group, a group containing a fluorine atom, and a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group containing a nitrogen atom as a ring skeleton constituent atom. The aryl group substituted with at least a cyano group may be substituted with a substituent other than a cyano group (e.g., an alkyl group or an aryl group), or may be an aryl group substituted only with a cyano group. The aryl group substituted with at least a cyano group is preferably a phenyl group substituted with at least a cyano group. The number of cyano group substitutions is preferably 1 or 2, for example, it may be 1 or 2. Examples of groups containing fluorine atoms include fluorine atoms, fluorinated alkyl groups, and aryl groups substituted with at least a fluorine atom or a fluorinated alkyl group. The fluorinated alkyl group is preferably a perfluoroalkyl group, preferably having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, more preferably 1 to 3 carbon atoms. Furthermore, a heteroaryl group containing a nitrogen atom as a ring skeleton-constituting atom may be a single ring or a fused ring in which two or more rings are fused.

The fluorescence spectrum of this sample is measured at room temperature (300K). The fluorescence spectrum has the vertical axis representing emission and the horizontal axis representing wavelength. A tangent line is drawn to the rising edge of the short wavelength side of this emission spectrum, and the wavelength value λedge [nm] at the intersection of this tangent line and the horizontal axis is determined. This wavelength value is converted to an energy value using the following conversion formula, and the value is called E Ｓ１ Conversion formula: E Ｓ１ [eV] = 1239.85 / λedge. The emission spectra in the examples described below were measured using an LED light source (Thorlabs, M300L4) as the excitation light source and a detector (Hamamatsu Photonics, PMA-12 multichannel spectrometer C10027-01).

A tangent line is drawn to the rising edge on the short wavelength side of this phosphorescence spectrum, and the wavelength value λedge [nm] at the intersection of this tangent line and the horizontal axis is determined. This wavelength value is converted to an energy value using the following conversion formula, and the value E Ｔ１ Conversion formula: E Ｔ１ [eV] = 1239.85 / λedge A tangent to the rising edge of the phosphorescence spectrum on the short wavelength side is drawn as follows: When moving along the spectral curve from the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum to the shortest maximum among the spectral maxima, consider a tangent at each point on the curve toward the long wavelength side. The slope of this tangent increases as the curve rises (i.e., as the vertical axis increases). The tangent drawn at the point where this slope is maximum is defined as the tangent to the rising edge of the phosphorescence spectrum on the short wavelength side. Note that maximum points having peak intensities that are 10% or less of the maximum peak intensity of the spectrum are not included in the shortest wavelength maximum, and the tangent drawn at the point where the slope is maximum and is closest to the shortest wavelength maximum is defined as the tangent to the rising edge of the phosphorescence spectrum on the short wavelength side.

[0176]

[0177] Although specific examples of preferred materials that can be used in organic electroluminescence devices have been given, the materials that can be used in the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the following exemplary compounds. Furthermore, even compounds exemplified as materials having specific functions can be diverted to be used as materials having other functions.

[0178] Devices: In some embodiments, the light-emitting layer is incorporated into a device. For example, devices include, but are not limited to, OLED bulbs, OLED lamps, television displays, computer monitors, mobile phones, and tablets. In some embodiments, the electronic device comprises an OLED having an anode, a cathode, and at least one organic layer comprising an emissive layer between the anode and the cathode. In some embodiments, the compositions described herein can be incorporated into various photosensitive or photoactivated devices, such as OLEDs or optoelectronic devices. In some embodiments, the compositions can be useful for facilitating charge or energy transfer within the device and / or as hole transport materials. Such devices include, for example, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic integrated circuits (OICs), organic field-effect transistors (O-FETs), organic thin-film transistors (O-TFTs), organic light-emitting transistors (O-LETs), organic solar cells (O-SCs), organic optical detectors, organic photoreceptors, organic field-quenched devices (O-FQDs), light-emitting fuel cells (LECs), or organic laser diodes (O-lasers).

[0179] Bulb or Lamp: In some embodiments, an electronic device comprises an OLED comprising an anode, a cathode, and at least one organic layer comprising an emissive layer between the anode and the cathode. In some embodiments, the device comprises OLEDs of different colors. In some embodiments, the device comprises an array comprising a combination of OLEDs. In some embodiments, the combination of OLEDs is a three-color combination (e.g., RGB). In some embodiments, the combination of OLEDs is a combination of colors that are not red, green, or blue (e.g., orange and yellow-green). In some embodiments, the combination of OLEDs is a two-color, four-color, or more-color combination. In some embodiments, the device is an OLED light comprising: a circuit board having a first side with a mounting surface and an opposite second side, the circuit board defining at least one opening; at least one OLED on the mounting surface, the at least one OLED having a light-emitting configuration including an anode, a cathode, and at least one organic layer including an emissive layer between the anode and the cathode; a housing for the circuit board; and at least one connector disposed on an end of the housing, the housing and the connector defining a package suitable for attachment to a lighting fixture. In some embodiments, the OLED light has multiple OLEDs mounted on the circuit board such that light is emitted in multiple directions. In some embodiments, a portion of the light emitted in a first direction is polarized and emitted in a second direction. In some embodiments, a reflector is used to polarize the light emitted in the first direction.

[0180] Displays or Screens: In some embodiments, the light-emitting layers of the present invention can be used in screens or displays. In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are deposited onto a substrate using processes such as, but not limited to, vacuum evaporation, deposition, vapor deposition, or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In some embodiments, the substrate is a photoplate structure useful for two-sided etching to provide pixels with unique aspect ratios. The screen (also called a mask) is used in the manufacturing process of OLED displays. The corresponding artwork pattern design allows for the placement of very steep, narrow tie bars between pixels in the vertical direction and large, wide, beveled openings in the horizontal direction. This allows for the fine patterning of pixels required for high-resolution displays while optimizing chemical vapor deposition on the TFT backplane. Internal pixel patterning allows for the construction of three-dimensional pixel openings with various aspect ratios in the horizontal and vertical directions. Furthermore, the use of imaged "stripes" or halftone circles in pixel regions protects etching in certain areas until these specific patterns are undercut and removed from the substrate. At that time, all pixel areas experience similar etching rates, but their depth varies depending on the halftone pattern. Varying the size and spacing of the halftone patterns allows for etching with varying degrees of protection within a pixel, enabling the deep, localized etching required to create steep vertical bevel angles. A preferred material for the deposition mask is Invar. Invar is a metal alloy cold-rolled into long, thin sheets at steel mills. Invar cannot be electrodeposited onto a spin mandrel as a nickel mask. A suitable, low-cost method for creating open areas in a deposition mask is by wet chemical etching. In some embodiments, the screen or display pattern is a pixel matrix on a substrate. In some embodiments, the screen or display pattern is fabricated using lithography (e.g., photolithography and e-beam lithography).In some embodiments, the screen or display pattern is fabricated using wet chemical etching. In further embodiments, the screen or display pattern is fabricated using plasma etching.

[0181] Device Manufacturing Method: OLED displays are generally manufactured by forming a large mother panel and then cutting the mother panel into cell panels. Typically, each cell panel on the mother panel is formed by forming a thin film transistor (TFT) having an active layer and source / drain electrodes on a base substrate, applying a planarization film to the TFT, sequentially forming a pixel electrode, an emissive layer, a counter electrode, and an encapsulation layer, and then cutting the mother panel. OLED displays are generally manufactured by forming a large mother panel and then cutting the mother panel into cell panels. Typically, each cell panel on the mother panel is formed by forming a thin film transistor (TFT) having an active layer and source / drain electrodes on a base substrate, applying a planarization film to the TFT, sequentially forming a pixel electrode, an emissive layer, a counter electrode, and an encapsulation layer, and then cutting the mother panel.

[0182] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, the method including: forming a barrier layer on a base substrate of a mother panel; forming a plurality of display units on the barrier layer in cell panel units; forming an encapsulation layer on each of the display units of the cell panel; and applying an organic film to an interface between the cell panels. In some embodiments, the barrier layer is an inorganic film, for example, made of SiNx, and edges of the barrier layer are covered with an organic film made of polyimide or acrylic. In some embodiments, the organic film assists in soft cutting of the mother panel into cell panel units. In some embodiments, the thin film transistor (TFT) layer includes a light-emitting layer, a gate electrode, and source / drain electrodes. Each of the plurality of display units may include a thin film transistor (TFT) layer, a planarization film formed on the TFT layer, and a light-emitting unit formed on the planarization film, and the organic film applied to the interface is made of the same material as the planarization film and is formed simultaneously with the formation of the planarization film. In some embodiments, the light-emitting units are coupled to the TFT layer by a passivation layer, a planarization film therebetween, and an encapsulation layer that covers and protects the light-emitting units. In some embodiments of the manufacturing method, the organic film is not coupled to either the display unit or the encapsulation layer.

[0183] Each of the organic film and the planarization film may comprise one of polyimide and acrylic. In some embodiments, the barrier layer may be an inorganic film. In some embodiments, the base substrate may be formed of polyimide. The method may further include attaching a carrier substrate formed of a glass material to one surface of the base substrate formed of polyimide before forming a barrier layer on the other surface of the base substrate, and separating the carrier substrate from the base substrate before cutting along the interface. In some embodiments, the OLED display is a flexible display. In some embodiments, the passivation layer is an organic film disposed on the TFT layer to cover the TFT layer. In some embodiments, the planarization film is an organic film formed on the passivation layer. In some embodiments, the planarization film, like the organic film formed on the edge of the barrier layer, is formed of polyimide or acrylic. In some embodiments, the planarization film and the organic film are formed simultaneously during the manufacture of the OLED display. In some embodiments, the organic film may be formed on the edge of the barrier layer, such that a portion of the organic film is in direct contact with the base substrate and a remaining portion of the organic film is in contact with the barrier layer while surrounding the edge of the barrier layer.

[0184] In some embodiments, the light-emitting layer includes a pixel electrode, a counter electrode, and an organic light-emitting layer disposed between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode. In some embodiments, the pixel electrode is connected to a source / drain electrode of the TFT layer. In some embodiments, when a voltage is applied to the pixel electrode through the TFT layer, an appropriate voltage is formed between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode, causing the organic light-emitting layer to emit light, thereby forming an image. Hereinafter, an image-forming unit including a TFT layer and a light-emitting unit is referred to as a display unit. In some embodiments, an encapsulation layer that covers the display unit and prevents penetration of external moisture may be formed into a thin-film encapsulation structure in which organic films and inorganic films are alternately stacked. In some embodiments, the encapsulation layer has a thin-film encapsulation structure in which multiple thin films are stacked. In some embodiments, the organic film applied to the interface portion is disposed at a distance from each of the multiple display units. In some embodiments, the organic film is formed such that a portion of the organic film directly contacts the base substrate, and a remaining portion of the organic film contacts the barrier layer while surrounding the edge of the barrier layer.

[0185] In one embodiment, the OLED display is flexible and uses a flexible base substrate made of polyimide. In some embodiments, the base substrate is formed on a carrier substrate made of a glass material, and then the carrier substrate is separated. In some embodiments, a barrier layer is formed on the surface of the base substrate opposite the carrier substrate. In one embodiment, the barrier layer is patterned according to the size of each cell panel. For example, while the base substrate is formed on all surfaces of the mother panel, the barrier layer is formed according to the size of each cell panel, thereby forming grooves at the interfaces between the barrier layers of the cell panels. Each cell panel can be cut along the grooves.

[0186] In some embodiments, the manufacturing method further includes a step of cutting along the interface, in which a groove is formed in the barrier layer and at least a portion of the organic film is formed in the groove, so that the groove does not penetrate into the base substrate. In some embodiments, a TFT layer of each cell panel is formed, and a passivation layer, which is an inorganic film, and a planarization film, which is an organic film, are disposed on and cover the TFT layer. At the same time as the planarization film, made of, for example, polyimide or acrylic, is formed, the grooves at the interface are covered with an organic film, made of, for example, polyimide or acrylic. This prevents cracks from occurring when each cell panel is cut along the grooves at the interface by allowing the organic film to absorb any impact that occurs. That is, if all barrier layers were completely exposed without the organic film, the impact would be transmitted to the barrier layer when each cell panel is cut along the grooves at the interface, thereby increasing the risk of cracks. However, in one embodiment, the grooves at the interface between the barrier layers are covered with an organic film to absorb any impact that would otherwise be transmitted to the barrier layer, allowing each cell panel to be cut softly and preventing cracks from occurring in the barrier layer. In one embodiment, the organic film and the planarization film covering the groove of the interface portion are spaced apart from each other. For example, if the organic film and the planarization film are connected to each other as one layer, external moisture may penetrate into the display unit through the planarization film and the remaining portion of the organic film, so the organic film and the planarization film are spaced apart from each other such that the organic film is spaced apart from the display unit.

[0187] In some embodiments, the display units are formed by forming light-emitting units, and an encapsulation layer is disposed on the display units to cover the display units. Thus, after the mother panel is completely manufactured, the carrier substrate supporting the base substrate is separated from the base substrate. In some embodiments, a laser beam is irradiated onto the carrier substrate, causing the carrier substrate to separate from the base substrate due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the carrier substrate and the base substrate. In some embodiments, the mother panel is cut into individual cell panels. In some embodiments, the mother panel is cut along the interfaces between the cell panels using a cutter. In some embodiments, the grooves at the interfaces along which the mother panel is cut are covered with an organic film, which absorbs impact during cutting. In some embodiments, cracks in the barrier layer can be prevented during cutting. In some embodiments, the method reduces the product defect rate and stabilizes its quality. Another aspect is an OLED display having a barrier layer formed on a base substrate, display units formed on the barrier layer, an encapsulation layer formed on the display units, and an organic film applied to edges of the barrier layer.

First, HATCN was formed to a thickness of 5 nm on ITO, NPD was formed thereon to a thickness of 60 nm, and EBL1 was further formed to a thickness of 10 nm. Next, the emitting material listed in Table 3 and the host material listed in Table 3 were co-deposited from different evaporation sources to form a 35 nm thick emitting layer. The content of the emitting material was 30 mass%. Next, SF3-TRZ was formed to a thickness of 10 nm, and then Liq and SF3-TRZ were co-deposited from different evaporation sources to form a 30 nm thick layer. The contents of Liq and SF3-TRZ in this layer were 30 mass% and 70 mass%, respectively. Liq was further formed to a thickness of 2 nm, and then aluminum (Al) was vapor-deposited to a thickness of 100 nm to form a cathode, resulting in an organic electroluminescence device. When electricity was applied to each organic electroluminescence device, light emission was observed from all of the devices. Of the materials contained in the light-emitting layer, the amount of light emitted from the light-emitting material was the largest. ２ External quantum efficiency (EQE) and driving voltage (V ＩＮＴ ) were measured, and the results are shown in Table 3.
