[0003] Generally, organic light emission refers to the phenomenon of converting electrical energy into light energy using organic materials. Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that utilize this phenomenon typically have a structure comprising an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer between them. Here, the organic layer is often composed of a multilayer structure made of different materials to enhance the efficiency and stability of the OLED; for example, it may consist of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an emissive layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer. In the structure of such an OLED, when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, holes are injected from the anode and electrons from the cathode into the organic layer. When the injected holes and electrons meet, an exciton is formed, and light is emitted when this exciton returns to the ground state.

[0204] In one embodiment of the present specification, the hole transport layer and the hole control layer may be provided adjacently. For example, the hole transport layer and the hole control layer may be provided in physical contact.
[0205] The organic light-emitting device of the present specification may be manufactured using materials and methods known in the art, except that one or more of the organic layers comprise the compound, i.e., the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1.
[0206] When the above organic light-emitting element includes a plurality of organic layers, the organic layers may be formed of the same material or different materials.
[0207] For example, an organic light-emitting device according to the present specification can be manufactured by using a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method, such as sputtering or electron beam evaporation, to deposit a metal or a conductive metal oxide or an alloy thereof on a substrate to form an anode, then forming an organic layer including a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an emitting layer, an electron blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer thereon, and then depositing a material that can be used as a cathode thereon. In addition to this method, an organic light-emitting device can also be manufactured by sequentially depositing a cathode material, an organic layer, and an anode material on a substrate.
[0208] The above organic layer may have a multilayer structure including a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a hole injection and transport layer, a hole control layer, an emitting layer and an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, an electron transport and injection layer, etc., but is not limited thereto and may have a single layer structure. In addition, the above organic layer may be manufactured with a smaller number of layers by using various polymer materials and a solvent process rather than a deposition method, such as spin coating, dip coating, doctor blading, screen printing, inkjet printing, or thermal transfer.
[0209] The above anode is an electrode that injects holes, and as the anode material, it is generally preferable to use an organic layer with a high work function to facilitate hole injection. Specific examples of anode materials that can be used in the present invention include metals such as vanadium, chromium, copper, zinc, and gold, or alloys thereof; metal oxides such as zinc oxide, indium oxide, indium tin oxide (ITO), and indium zinc oxide (IZO); combinations of metals and oxides such as ZnO:Al or SnO2:Sb; and conductive polymers such as poly(3-methylthiophene), poly[3,4-(ethylene-1,2-dioxy)thiophene] (PEDOT), polypyrrole, and polyaniline, but are not limited to these.

Specific examples of cathode materials include metals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium, indium, yttrium, lithium, gadolinium, aluminum, silver, tin, and lead, or alloys thereof; multilayer materials such as LiF / Al or LiO2 / Al, but are not limited to these.
[0211] The hole injection layer described above is a layer that facilitates the injection of holes from the anode to the light-emitting layer. The hole injection material is a material capable of receiving holes well from the anode at low voltage, and it is preferable that the HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) of the hole injection material is between the work function of the anode material and the HOMO of the surrounding organic layer.

The thickness of the hole injection layer may be 1 Å to 150 Å. If the thickness of the hole injection layer is 1 Å or more, there is an advantage in that the hole injection characteristics can be prevented from deteriorating, and if it is 150 Å or less, there is an advantage in that the driving voltage can be prevented from increasing to improve the movement of holes because the thickness of the hole injection layer is too thick.

[0314] Example 1.
[0315] A glass substrate coated with a thin film of indium tin oxide (ITO) to a thickness of 150 nm was placed in distilled water containing detergent and cleaned using ultrasound. Fischer Co. products were used as the detergent, and distilled water that had been filtered twice using a Millipore Co. filter was used. After cleaning the ITO for 30 minutes, ultrasonic cleaning was performed for 10 minutes, repeating the process twice with distilled water. After the distilled water cleaning was completed, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned with solvents of isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and methanol, dried, and then transported to a plasma cleaner. Additionally, the substrate was cleaned using nitrogen plasma for 5 minutes and then transported to a vacuum deposition machine. A hole injection layer was formed by vacuum depositing the following HAT-CN compound to a thickness of 5 nm onto the prepared ITO transparent electrode. Next, HTL-1 was vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 100 nm, and then HTL-2 was vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 10 nm to form a hole transport layer. Next, Compound 1 (host) synthesized in Synthesis Example 1 and Compound BD-A (dopant) (Host compound weight ratio: Dopant compound weight ratio = 95:5) were vacuum-deposited simultaneously to form a 20 nm thick emissive layer. Next, ETL-1 was vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 20 nm to form an electron transport layer. Next, LiF was vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 0.5 nm to form an electron injection layer. Next, aluminum was deposited to a thickness of 100 nm to form a cathode, thereby fabricating an organic light-emitting diode.
[0316] The structure of the compound used in the example is as follows.

[0318] Examples 2 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5
[0319] An organic light-emitting device was fabricated in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the compounds listed in Table 1 below were used instead of Compound 1 as the host of the light-emitting layer in Example 1. At this time, among the structures below, the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention was prepared through the same process as Synthesis Examples 2 to 6 described above.
[0320] The structures of the compounds used in the examples and comparative examples are as follows.
[0321]
[0322] In the organic light-emitting diodes prepared in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 above, 10 mA / cm² 2 The driving voltage (Voc) and luminous efficiency (cd / A) were measured at a current density of 20 mA / cm². 2 The time (LT) to reach 97% of the initial brightness at a current density was measured, and the results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0323] Compound (emissive layer host) 10 mA / cm 2 Measured value LT (T97%) Voc Cd / A Example 1 Compound 1 3.10 62.4 200 Example 2 Compound 2 3.08 62.0 216 Example 3 Compound 3 3.10 62.2 220 Example 4 Compound 4 3.02 56.8 245 Example 5 Compound 5 3.03 57.0 230 Example 6 Compound 6 2.98 54.9 225 Comparative Example 1 Compound 7 3.02 56.7 190 Comparative Example 2 Compound 8 3.11 62.3 160 Comparative Example 3 Compound 9 3.10 62.5 180 Comparative Example 4 Compound 10 3.03 56.8 195 Comparative Example 5 Compound 11 3.30 65.5 140
[0325] Examples 1 to 6 using the compound of Formula 1 of the present invention exhibited lower voltage and longer lifespan characteristics than Comparative Examples 1 to 5 not using the compound of Formula 1.
[0326] When comparing Example 1 (applied to Compound 1) and Comparative Example 5 (applied to Compound 11) in which a compound containing Formula A is applied in the present invention, it can be confirmed that Example 1 exhibits low voltage and long life characteristics compared to Comparative Example 5. This is presumed to be a characteristic resulting from the faster mobility of holes and electrons in Compound 1 compared to Compound 11, as naphthoxazole is condensed onto the substituent of Formula A.
[0327] Comparative Example 1 (applied to Compound 7) satisfies the structural formula of the present invention, but since deuterium is not substituted, the lifespan characteristics are inferior to those of the example, and specifically, the effect of voltage and lifespan characteristics according to the position of deuterium substitution can be confirmed through Comparative Examples 2 to 4.
[0328] Specifically, when comparing Example 1 (applied to Compound 1) with Comparative Example 2 (applied to Compound 8), Comparative Example 3 (applied to Compound 9), and Comparative Example 4 (applied to Compound 10), it can be confirmed that Example 1 exhibits long lifespan characteristics compared to Comparative Examples 2 to 4. Through this, it can be confirmed that substituting deuterium at position A of the chemical formula is important for exhibiting long lifespan characteristics of the device compared to substituting deuterium at other positions.
[0329] Although preferred embodiments (hosts) of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be implemented with various modifications within the scope of the claims and the detailed description of the invention, and such modifications also fall within the scope of the invention.
