Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to metal compounds, and more specifically, to organometallic compounds with improved luminous efficiency and luminous lifetime, and to organic light-emitting diodes and organic light-emitting devices containing the same. Background Technology

[0003] Recently, with the increasing size of display devices, there is a growing demand for flat display devices that occupy less space. As one of these flat display devices, the technology of organic light emitting display (OLED) devices, which include organic light-emitting diodes and are also called organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs), is developing rapidly.

[0004] An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is a device formed between an electron injection electrode (cathode) and a hole injection electrode (anode) and comprises an organic light-emitting layer containing a host and a dopant. When charge is injected into the organic light-emitting layer, electrons and holes pair up and annihilate, emitting light. It has the advantages of being able to be formed on flexible transparent substrates such as plastic, operating at low voltages (below 10V), consuming relatively little power, and possessing excellent color purity.

[0005] Dopants can be classified into fluorescent materials and phosphorescent materials.

[0006] Conventional fluorescent materials have low luminescence efficiency because only singlet excitons participate in luminescence. Phosphorescent materials, in which triplet excitons also participate in luminescence, have higher luminescence efficiency compared to fluorescent materials. However, organometallic compounds, which are representative phosphorescent materials, have short luminescence lifetimes, which limits their commercialization. Therefore, there is a need to develop compounds with improved luminescence efficiency and luminescence lifetimes. The problem to be solved

[0035] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0036] The organometallic compound according to the present invention has improved luminescence efficiency and luminescence lifetime. The organometallic compound according to the present invention has the structure of Chemical Formula 1 below.

[0037] [Chemical Formula 1]

[0038]

[0039] In Formula 1, each of X1 to X5 is independently N or CR4, and each of R1, R21, R22, R23, R31, R32, R33 is independently selected from the group consisting of deuterium, halide, an unsubstituted or deuterium-substituted C1 to C10 alkyl group, an unsubstituted or deuterium-substituted C3 to C20 cycloalkyl group, an unsubstituted or deuterium-substituted C6 to C30 aryl group, or an unsubstituted or deuterium-substituted C1 to C10 alkyl group, or a C3 to C30 heteroaryl group. R4 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium, halide, an unsubstituted or deuterium-substituted C1 to C10 alkyl group, an unsubstituted or deuterium-substituted C3 to C20 cycloalkyl group, an unsubstituted or deuterium-substituted C6 to C30 aryl group, an unsubstituted or deuterium-substituted C1 to C10 alkyl group, and a C3 to C30 heteroaryl group, an unsubstituted or deuterium-substituted C1 to C10 alkyl group, and R5, R6, and R7 are each independently C1 to C10 alkyl groups. Additionally, a to g are 0 or 1, and n is an integer from 0 to 2.

[0040] That is, the organometallic compound of the present invention is an iridium complex and has a first ligand having a structure comprising a pyridine moiety and a condensed ring moiety connected thereto that contains oxygen, and an alkylsilyl group bonded to a specific position of the condensed ring moiety, and emits light in the wavelength range of about 500 to 540 nm, for example, light in the wavelength range of about 520 to 525 nm. Accordingly, the luminous efficiency and lifespan of organic light-emitting diodes and organic light-emitting devices containing the organometallic compound are improved.

[0041] For example, R1, R21, R22, and R23 may each be an unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkyl group, for example, a methyl group. Additionally, R31, R32, and R33 may each be an unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkyl group, for example, methyl, tertiarybutyl, neopentyl, an unsubstituted C1 to C10 cycloalkyl group, for example, cyclopentyl, or a C1 to C10 alkyl group substituted with deuterium, for example, CD3.

[0042] The organometallic compound of the present invention may include a second ligand comprising a benzene moiety and a pyridine moiety connected thereto, and at least one of the hydrogens of the pyridine moiety in the second ligand may be substituted. That is, in Formula 1, n is 1 or 2, and at least one of b, c, and d may be 1.

[0043] For example, in Chemical Formula 1, b can be 1, and c and d can be 0, and the organometallic compound of the present invention can be represented by the following Chemical Formula 2-1.

[0044] [Chemical Formula 2-1]

[0045]

[0046] In addition, in the organometallic compound of the present invention, at least one of the hydrogens of the pyridine moiety of the first ligand may be substituted. That is, at least one of e, f, and g in Formula 1 may be 1.

[0047] For example, in Chemical Formula 1, e can be 1, and f and g can be 0, and the organometallic compound of the present invention can be represented by the following Chemical Formula 2-2.

[0048] [Chemical Formula 2-2]

[0049]

[0050] In contrast, in Chemical Formula 1, f can be 1, and e and g can be 0, and the organometallic compound of the present invention can be represented by the following Chemical Formula 2-3.

[0051] [Chemical Formula 2-3]

[0052]

[0053] An organometallic compound having the structure of Chemical Formula 1 includes iridium as a central coordination metal, a pyridine moiety and a condensed ring moiety connected thereto that includes oxygen, and a first ligand having a structure in which an alkylsilyl group is bonded to a specific position of the condensed ring moiety. Accordingly, the luminous efficiency and lifespan of an organic light-emitting diode and an organic light-emitting display device (100) containing the organometallic compound are improved.

[0054] In addition, the organometallic compound may further comprise a second ligand comprising a benzene moiety and a pyridine moiety connected thereto, and at least one hydrogen of the pyridine moiety of the second ligand is substituted with a non-modified C1 to C10 alkyl group, thereby further improving the luminous efficiency and lifespan of the organic light-emitting diode and organic light-emitting display device comprising the organometallic compound. (Chemical Formula 2-1)

[0055] In addition, by substituting at least one hydrogen of the pyridine moiety of the first ligand with one of an unsubstituted or deuterium-substituted C1 to C10 alkyl group or an unsubstituted C1 to C10 cycloalkyl group, the luminous efficiency and lifespan of the organic light-emitting diode and organic light-emitting display device comprising the organometallic compound are further improved. (Chemical Formula 2-2, Chemical Formula 2-3)

[0056] In particular, as in Chemical Formula 2-2, when the hydrogen at the 2nd position in the pyridine moiety of the first ligand is substituted, organic light-emitting diodes and organic light-emitting display devices containing organometallic compounds have a high lifespan and significantly increased luminous efficiency.

[0057] In addition, when the bidentate ligands bonded to the central metal are different heteropleptic metal complexes (n=2), the luminous efficiency and lifespan of organic light-emitting diodes and organic light-emitting display devices containing organometallic compounds are significantly improved.

[0058] For example, the organometallic compound of Chemical Formula 1 may be any one of the substances of Chemical Formula 3 below.

After the reaction was complete, the temperature was lowered to room temperature, and the organic layer was extracted using dichloromethane and distilled water, while the water was removed by adding anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The crude product obtained by filtration was purified under reduced pressure using column chromatography under toluene:hexane = 1:1 conditions to obtain compound 386 (3.12 g, 87%).

[0343] FIG. 1 is a schematic circuit diagram of an organic light-emitting display device according to the present invention.

[0344] As illustrated in FIG. 1, in an organic light-emitting display device, gate wiring (GL), data wiring (DL), and power wiring (PL) are formed intersecting each other to define a pixel area (P). In the pixel area (P), a switching thin-film transistor (Ts), a driving thin-film transistor (Td), a storage capacitor (Cst), and an organic light-emitting diode (D) are formed. The pixel area (P) may include a red pixel area, a green pixel area, and a blue pixel area.

[0345] The switching thin-film transistor (Ts) is connected to the gate wiring (GL) and data wiring (DL), and the driving thin-film transistor (Td) and storage capacitor (Cst) are connected between the switching thin-film transistor (Ts) and the power wiring (PL). The organic light-emitting diode (D) is connected to the driving thin-film transistor (Td).

[0346] In this organic light-emitting display device, when the switching thin-film transistor (Ts) is turned on according to the gate signal applied to the gate wiring (GL), the data signal applied to the data wiring (DL) is applied to the gate electrode of the driving thin-film transistor (Td) and one electrode of the storage capacitor (Cst) through the switching thin-film transistor (Ts).

[0347] The driving thin-film transistor (Td) is turned on according to a data signal applied to the gate electrode, and as a result, a current proportional to the data signal flows from the power wiring (PL) through the driving thin-film transistor (Td) to the organic light-emitting diode (D), and the organic light-emitting diode (D) emits light with a brightness proportional to the current flowing through the driving thin-film transistor (Td).

[0348] At this time, the storage capacitor (Cst) is charged with a voltage proportional to the data signal so that the voltage of the gate electrode of the driving thin-film transistor (Td) is maintained constant during one frame.

[0349] Therefore, the organic light-emitting display device can display a desired image.

[0350] FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting display device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0351] As shown in FIG. 2, the organic light-emitting display device (100) includes a substrate (102), a driving thin-film transistor (Td) disposed on the substrate (120), and an organic light-emitting diode (D1) connected to the driving thin-film transistor (Td).

[0352] For example, a red pixel area, a green pixel area, and a blue pixel area are defined on the substrate (102), and an organic light-emitting diode (D1) may be located at each pixel. That is, an organic light-emitting diode (D1) that emits red, green, and blue light is provided in the red pixel area, the green pixel area, and the blue pixel area.

[0353] The substrate (102) may be a glass substrate or a flexible substrate. For example, the substrate (102) may be any one of a polyimide (PI) substrate, a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, a polyethylenenaphthalate (PEN) substrate, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, and a polycarbonate (PC) substrate.

[0354] A first buffer layer (104) is formed on a substrate (102), and a light shielding pattern (105) is formed on the first buffer layer (104) in correspondence with a driving thin-film transistor (Td). Additionally, a second buffer layer (106) is formed on the light shielding pattern (105), and a buffer contact hole (107) that exposes the light shielding pattern (105) is formed on the second buffer layer (106).

[0355] For example, each of the first and second buffer layers (104, 106) may be made of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride, and the light-blocking pattern (105) may be made of an opaque metallic material. The first and second buffer layers (104, 106) and the light-blocking pattern (105) may be omitted.

[0356] On the second buffer layer (106), a driving thin-film transistor (Td) comprising a semiconductor layer (110), a gate electrode (130), a source electrode (152), and a drain electrode (154), and a storage capacitor (Cst) comprising first to third storage electrodes (112, 132, 156) are formed.

[0357] The semiconductor layer (110) and the first storage electrode (112) are formed on the second buffer layer (106). For example, the semiconductor layer (110) may be made of polycrystalline silicon, and impurities are doped into both edges of the semiconductor layer (110). One end of the semiconductor layer (110), that is, the end of the semiconductor layer (110) on the side of the drain electrode (154), is connected to the light-blocking pattern (105) through the buffer contact hole (107). In addition, the first storage electrode (112) is used as an electrode of the storage capacitor (Cst) by doping impurities into polycrystalline silicon. Meanwhile, the semiconductor layer (110) may be made of an oxide semiconductor material.

[0358] A gate insulating film (120) made of an insulating material is formed on the front surface of the substrate (102) on the semiconductor layer (110) and the first storage electrode (112). The gate insulating film (120) may be made of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.

[0359] A gate electrode (130) made of a conductive material such as metal is formed on the gate insulating film (120) in correspondence with the center of the semiconductor layer (110). In FIG. 2, the gate insulating film (120) is formed on the front surface of the substrate (102), but the gate insulating film (120) may be patterned in the same shape as the gate electrode (130).

[0360] In addition, a second storage electrode (132) is formed with the same material on the same layer as the gate electrode (130) in correspondence with the first storage electrode (112).

[0361] An interlayer insulating film (140) made of an insulating material is formed on the front surface of the substrate (102) on the gate electrode (130) and the second storage electrode (132). The interlayer insulating film (140) may be formed of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride, or may be formed of an organic insulating material such as benzocyclobutene or photoacryl.

[0362] The interlayer insulating film (140) has first and second semiconductor layer contact holes (142, 144) that expose the upper surfaces of both sides of the semiconductor layer (110). The first and second semiconductor layer contact holes (142, 144) are located on both sides of the gate electrode (130) and spaced apart from the gate electrode (130). In FIG. 2, the first and second semiconductor layer contact holes (142, 144) are shown as also being formed within the gate insulating film (120). Alternatively, if the gate insulating film (120) is patterned in the same shape as the gate electrode (130), the first and second semiconductor layer contact holes (142, 144) are formed only within the interlayer insulating film (140).

[0363] A source electrode (152) and a drain electrode (154) made of a conductive material such as metal are formed on the interlayer insulating film (140). The source electrode (152) and the drain electrode (154) are spaced apart from the gate electrode (130) and contact both sides of the semiconductor layer (110) through the first and second semiconductor layer contact holes (142, 144), respectively.

[0364] In addition, a third storage electrode (156) is formed on the interlayer insulating film (140) that overlaps with the second storage electrode (132).

[0365] As described above, the semiconductor layer (110), gate electrode (130), source electrode (152) and drain electrode (154) form a driving thin-film transistor (Td), and the first to third storage electrodes (112, 132, 156) and the dielectric layer, gate insulating film (120) and interlayer insulating film (140), form a storage capacitor (Cst).

[0366] In FIG. 2, the driving thin-film transistor (Td) has a coplanar structure in which the gate electrode (130), source electrode (152), and drain electrode (154) are located on the upper part of the semiconductor layer (110). Alternatively, the driving thin-film transistor (Td) may have an inverted staggered structure in which the gate electrode is located on the lower part of the semiconductor layer and the source electrode and drain electrode are located on the upper part of the semiconductor layer. In this case, the semiconductor layer may be made of amorphous silicon.

[0367] Although not shown in FIG. 2, a gate wiring (GL, see FIG. 1) and a data wiring (DL, see FIG. 1) intersect each other to define a pixel area, and a switching thin-film transistor (Ts, see FIG. 1) connected to the gate wiring and the data wiring is further formed. The switching thin-film transistor (Ts) is connected to a driving thin-film transistor (Td). Additionally, a power wiring (PL, see FIG. 1) is formed spaced apart from the data wiring (DL) and may further be configured to maintain a constant voltage of the gate electrode (130) of the driving thin-film transistor (Td) during one frame.

[0368] A protective layer (160) is formed on the front surface of the substrate (102) covering the driving thin-film transistor (Td) on the source electrode (152), drain electrode (154), and third storage electrode (156). The protective layer (160) has a flat upper surface and has a drain contact hole (162) that exposes the drain electrode (154) of the driving thin-film transistor (Td).

[0369] The organic light-emitting diode (D1) includes a first electrode (210) located on a protective layer (160) and connected to the drain electrode (154) of a driving thin-film transistor (Td), an organic light-emitting layer (230) and a second electrode (220) sequentially stacked on the first electrode (210).

[0370] The first electrode (210) is formed separately for each pixel area. The first electrode (210) may be an anode and may be made of a conductive material with a relatively large work function value. For example, the first electrode (210) may include a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer. Specifically, the first electrode (210) may be made of indium-tin-oxide (ITO), indium-zinc-oxide (IZO), indium-tin-zinc-oxide (ITZO), tin oxide (SnO), zinc oxide (ZnO), indium-copper-oxide (ICO), and aluminum:zinc oxide (Al:ZnO; AZO).

[0371] Meanwhile, if the organic light-emitting display device (100) of the present invention is of the top-emission type, the first electrode (210) may further include a reflective layer. For example, the reflective layer may be made of silver (Ag) or an aluminum-palladium-copper (APC) alloy. For example, the first electrode (210) may have a triple-layer structure of ITO / APC / ITO or a triple-layer structure of ITO / Ag / ITO.

[0372] Additionally, a bank layer (164) covering the edge of the first electrode (210) is formed on the protective layer (160). The bank layer (164) exposes the center of the first electrode (210) corresponding to the pixel area.

[0373] An organic light-emitting layer (230) is formed on the first electrode (210). The organic light-emitting layer (230) may have a single-layer structure of an emitting material layer (EML). Alternatively, the organic light-emitting layer (230) may have a multi-layer structure including at least one additionally a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron blocking layer (EBL), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL).

[0374] In the green pixel area, the organic light-emitting layer (230) of the organic light-emitting diode (D1) comprises the organic metal compound of the present invention, and accordingly, the light-emitting efficiency and light-emitting lifespan of the organic light-emitting diode (D1) and the organic light-emitting display device (1000) are greatly improved.

[0375] A second electrode (220) is formed on the upper surface of a substrate (102) on which an organic light-emitting layer (230) is formed. The second electrode (220) is located on the front surface of the display area and may be a cathode that injects electrons, made of a conductive material with a relatively small work function value. For example, the second electrode (220) may be made of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), or an alloy thereof, for example, an aluminum-magnesium alloy (AlMg) or a silver-magnesium alloy (MgAg). When the organic light-emitting display device (100) is of the top-emitting type, the second electrode (229) has a thin thickness and has light-transmitting (semi-transmitting) characteristics.

[0376] That is, one of the first electrode (210) and the second electrode (220) is a transmissive (semi-transmissive) electrode, and the other of the first electrode (210) and the second electrode (220) is a reflective electrode.

[0377] On the second electrode (220), an encapsulation layer (170) and a barrier layer (180, or a barrier substrate) are sequentially formed to prevent external moisture from penetrating into the organic light-emitting diode (D1).

[0378] Although not illustrated, the organic light-emitting display device (100) may further include a color filter layer (not illustrated). The color filter layer may include a red color filter, a green color filter, and a blue color filter corresponding to each of the red pixel area, the green pixel area, and the blue pixel area. When the organic light-emitting display device (100) includes a color filter layer, the color purity of the organic light-emitting display device (100) may be improved.

[0379] The organic light-emitting display device (100) may further include a polarizing plate (not shown) to reduce the reflection of external light. For example, the polarizing plate (not shown) may be a circular polarizing plate. If the organic light-emitting display device (100) is a bottom-emitting type, the polarizing plate may be located below the substrate (102). Meanwhile, if the organic light-emitting display device (100) of the present invention is a top-emitting type, the polarizing plate may be located above the barrier layer (180).

[0380] FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting diode in a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0381] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the organic light-emitting diode (D1) of the present invention comprises a first electrode (210) and a second electrode (220) facing each other, and an organic light-emitting layer (230) located between the first and second electrodes (210, 220). The organic light-emitting diode (D) of FIG. 3 is located in a green pixel area.

[0382] The first electrode (210) may be an anode, and the second electrode (220) may be a cathode. For example, the first electrode (310) and the second electrode (320) may each have a thickness of 30 to 300 nm.

[0383] The organic light-emitting layer (230) includes an emitting material layer (EML, 360).

[0384] Additionally, the organic light-emitting layer (230) may further include at least one of a hole transporting layer (HTL, 350) located between the first electrode (310) and the emitting material layer (EML, 360), and an electron transporting layer (ETL, 370) located between the emitting material layer (EML, 360) and the second electrode (320).

[0385] Additionally, the organic light-emitting layer (230) may further include at least one of a hole injection layer (340) located between the first electrode (210) and the hole transport layer (350), and an electron injection layer (380) located between the second electrode (224) and the electron transport layer (370).

[0386] Additionally, the organic light-emitting layer (230) may further include at least one of an electron blocking layer (355) located between the hole transport layer (350) and the light-emitting material layer (360), and a hole blocking layer (375) located between the light-emitting material layer (360) and the electron transport layer (370).

[0387] That is, the organic light-emitting diode (D1) according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a single light-emitting unit.

[0388] The hole injection layer (340) is located between the first electrode (210) and the hole transport layer (350), and improves the interface characteristics between the first electrode (310), which is an inorganic material, and the hole transport layer (350), which is an organic material. For example, the hole injection layer (340) is 4,4',4"-tris(3-methylphenylamino)triphenylamine (4,4',4"-tris(3-methylphenylamino)triphenylamine; MTDATA), 4,4',4"-tris(N,N-diphenyl-amino)triphenylamine (4,4',4"-tris(N,N-diphenyl-amino)triphenylamine; NATA), 4,4',4"-tris(N-(naphthalene-1-yl)-N-phenyl-amino)triphenylamine (4,4',4"-tris(N-(naphthalene-1-yl)-N-phenyl-amino)triphenylamine; 1T-NATA), 4,4',4"-tris(N-(naphthalene-2-yl)-N-phenyl-amino)triphenylamine (2T-NATA), copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), tris(4-carbazoyl-9-yl-phenyl)amine (TCTA), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4"-diamine (NPB or NPD), 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylenehexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN), 1,3,5-tris[4-(diphenylamino)phenyl]benzene (TDAPB), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)polystyrene sulfonate;It may include a hole injection material that is any one of PEDOT / PSS), N-(biphenyl-4-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluoren-2-amine, and N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di[4-(N,N-diphenyl-amino)phenyl]benzidine (NPNPB). For example, the hole injection layer (340) may include a compound of the following chemical formula 4. The hole injection layer (340) may have a thickness of 20 to 120 nm, preferably 40 to 80 nm.;

[0389] The hole transport layer (350) is located between the first electrode (310) and the light-emitting material layer (360) adjacent to the light-emitting material layer (360), for example, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD), NPB (NPD), 4,4'-bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1'-biphenyl (CBP), Poly[N,N'-bis(4-butylphenyl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)-benzidine](poly[N,N'-bis(4-butylpnehyl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)-benzidine]; Poly-TPD), Poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)-co-(4,4'-(N-(4-sec-butylphenyl)diphenylamine))](poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)-co-(4,4'-(N-(4-sec-butylphenyl)diphenylamine))], TFB), Di-[4-(N,N-di-p-tolyl-amino)phenyl]cyclohexane(di-[4-(N,N-di-p-tolyl-amino)-phenyl]cyclohexane; TAPC), 3,5-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-N,N-diphenylaniline;DCDPA), N-(biphenyl-4-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluoren-2-amine(N-(biphenyl-4-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluoren-2-amine), N-(biphenyl]-4-yl)-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)biphenyl)-4-amine(N-(biphenyl-4-yl)-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)biphenyl-4-amine), It may include, but is not limited to, any one of N-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluoren-2-amine. The hole transport layer (350) may each have a thickness of 30 nm to 150 nm, preferably 50 nm to 120 nm. For example, the thickness of the hole transport layer (350) may be greater than the thickness of the hole injection layer (340).

[0390] The light-emitting material layer (360) includes a first compound, which is an organometallic compound of the present invention, as a dopant (light-emitting body, 362). Additionally, the light-emitting material layer (360) may further include a second compound as a host (not shown).

[0419] The characteristics of the organic light-emitting diodes fabricated in Comparative Examples 1 to 13 and Experimental Examples 1 to 31 (driving voltage, maximum luminous quantum efficiency (Emax), external quantum efficiency (EQE), and lifetime (LT95, %)) were measured and listed in Tables 1 to 4.

[0428] As shown in Tables 1 to 4, the luminous efficiency and lifespan of the organic light-emitting diodes of Experimental Examples 1 to 33 are increased compared to the organic light-emitting diodes of Comparative Examples 1 to 13. For example, compounds Ref-2 to Ref-13 of Formula 8 and compounds 16, 17, 64, 136, and 391 to 398 of Formula 3 each differ in the bonding position of the alkylsilyl group (trimethylsilyl group), and the organic light-emitting diodes of Experimental Examples 11 to 14, 17, 18, 25 to 28, 30, and 31 using the organometallic compounds of the present invention have high luminous efficiency and lifespan.

[0429] Meanwhile, for example, compounds 220, 225, and 284 of Chemical Formula 3 contain nitrogen within the oxygen-containing condensation ring moiety, whereas compounds 17, 136, and 276 of Chemical Formula 3 do not contain nitrogen within the oxygen-containing condensation ring moiety. In this case, compared to the organic light-emitting diodes of Experimental Examples 16, 15, and 5 using compounds 220, 225, and 284 of Chemical Formula 3, the luminous efficiency and lifespan of the organic light-emitting diodes of Experimental Examples 12, 14, and 3 using compounds 17, 136, and 276 of Chemical Formula 3 are improved.

[0430] In addition, for example, compounds 271, 276, 292, and 292 of Formula 3 and compounds 16, 17, and 136 of Formula 3 each differ in the number of first and second ligands, and compared to the organic light-emitting diodes of Experimental Examples 1, 3, and 2 using compounds 271, 276, 292, and 292 of Formula 3, the luminous efficiency and lifetime of the organic light-emitting diodes of Experimental Examples 11, 12, and 14 using compounds 16, 17, and 136 of Formula 3 are improved. That is, in Formula 1, Formula 2-1, Formula 2-2, and Formula 2-3, n can be 2.

[0431] In addition, compounds 17 and 20 differ from compounds 62 and 64, respectively, only in the position of the alkyl group bonded to the pyridine moiety of the first ligand, and the luminous efficiency and / or lifetime of the organic light-emitting diodes of Experimental Example 12 and Experimental Example 32 using compounds 17 and 20 are further improved.

[0433] FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting display device according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

[0434] As illustrated in FIG. 4, an organic light-emitting display device (400) according to the third embodiment of the present invention comprises a first substrate (402) in which a red pixel (RP), a green pixel (GP), and a blue pixel (BP) are each defined, a second substrate (404) facing the first substrate (402), an organic light-emitting diode (D2) located between the first substrate (402) and the second substrate (404) and emitting white light, and a color filter layer (480) located between the organic light-emitting diode (D2) and the second substrate (404).

[0435] The first substrate (402) and the second substrate (404) may each be a glass substrate or a plastic substrate. For example, the first and second substrates (402, 404) may each be any one of a PI substrate, a PES substrate, a PEN substrate, a PET substrate, and a PC substrate.

[0436] A buffer layer (406) is formed on the first substrate (402), and a thin-film transistor (Tr) is formed on the buffer layer (406) corresponding to each of the red pixel region (RP), the green pixel region (GP), and the blue pixel region (BP). The buffer layer (406) may be omitted. The thin-film transistor (Tr) may be a driving thin-film transistor.

[0437] A semiconductor layer (410) is formed on the buffer layer (406). For example, the semiconductor layer (410) may be made of an oxide semiconductor material or polycrystalline silicon.

[0438] A gate insulating film (420) made of an insulating material, such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride, is formed on the upper part of the semiconductor layer (410).

[0439] A gate electrode (430) made of a conductive material such as metal is formed on the upper part of the gate insulating film (420) in correspondence with the center of the semiconductor layer (410).

[0440] An interlayer insulating film (440) is formed on the upper part of the gate electrode (430), the insulating material being an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride, or an organic insulating material such as benzocyclobutene or photoacryl.

[0441] The interlayer insulating film (440) has first and second semiconductor layer contact holes (442, 444) that expose the upper surfaces of both sides of the semiconductor layer (410). The first and second semiconductor layer contact holes (442, 444) are located spaced apart from the gate electrode (430) on both sides of the gate electrode (430).

[0442] On the upper part of the interlayer insulating film (440), a source electrode (452) and a drain electrode (454) made of a conductive material such as metal are formed. The source electrode (452) and the drain electrode (454) are spaced apart from the gate electrode (430) and contact both sides of the semiconductor layer (410) through the first and second semiconductor layer contact holes (442, 444), respectively.

[0443] The semiconductor layer (410), gate electrode (430), source electrode (452) and drain electrode (454) form a thin-film transistor (Tr).

[0444] A protective layer (460) is formed on the front surface of the first substrate (402) and covers the thin-film transistor (Tr) on the upper portion of the source electrode (452) and the drain electrode (454). The protective layer (460) has a drain contact hole (462) that exposes the drain electrode (454) of the thin-film transistor (Tr).

[0445] An organic light-emitting diode (D2) is positioned on a protective layer (460). The organic light-emitting diode (D2) includes a first electrode (510) connected to the drain electrode (452) of a thin-film transistor (Tr), a second electrode (520) facing the first electrode (510), and an organic light-emitting layer (530) positioned between the first and second electrodes (510, 520).

[0446] The first electrode (510) is positioned separately for each pixel area and may be an anode. The first electrode (510) includes a transparent conductive oxide layer.

[0447] A bank layer (464) covering the edge of the first electrode (510) is formed on the protective layer (460). The bank layer (464) exposes the center of the first electrode (510) corresponding to the pixel regions (RP, GP, BP). Since the organic light-emitting diode (D2) emits white light in the red, green, and blue pixel regions (Rp, GP, BP), the light-emitting layer (530) can be formed as a common layer without needing to be separated from the red, green, and blue pixel regions (Rp, GP, BP). The bank layer (464) is formed to prevent current leakage at the edge of the first electrode (510), and the bank layer (464) may be omitted.

[0448] The organic light-emitting layer (530) is formed on the first electrode (510) and includes multiple light-emitting units as described below. That is, the organic light-emitting diode (D2) has a tandem structure. For example, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the organic light-emitting layer (530) may include a plurality of light-emitting units (630, 730, 730A, 830, 930, 930A, 1030, 1030A) and one or more charge-generating layers (690, 890, 990). Each light-emitting unit includes a light-emitting material layer, and the charge-generating layer is located between adjacent light-emitting units.

[0449] A second electrode (520) is formed on the upper surface of the first substrate (402) on which the organic light-emitting layer (530) is formed. The second electrode (520) is located on the front surface of the display area and may be a cathode.

[0450] In the organic light-emitting display device (400), light emitted from the organic light-emitting layer (530) is incident on the color filter layer (480) through the second electrode (520), so the second electrode (520) has a thin thickness so that light can be transmitted. In addition, a reflective layer may be located below the first electrode (510).

[0451] The color filter layer (480) is located on top of the organic light-emitting diode (D2) and includes a red color filter (482), a green color filter (484), and a blue color filter (486) corresponding to each of the red pixel area (RP), the green pixel area (GP), and the blue pixel area (BP). The red color filter (482) may include at least one of a red dye and a red pigment, the green color filter (484) may include at least one of a green dye and a green pigment, and the blue color filter (486) may include at least one of a blue dye and a blue pigment.

[0452] Although not illustrated, the color filter layer (480) may be attached to the organic light-emitting diode (D2) by an adhesive layer. Alternatively, the color filter layer (480) may be formed directly on the organic light-emitting diode (D2).

[0453] In FIG. 4, light emitted from the organic light-emitting layer (530) passes through the second electrode (520), and the color filter layer (480) is placed on top of the organic light-emitting diode (D2). Alternatively, the light from the organic light-emitting layer (530) may pass through the first electrode (510), and the color filter layer (480) may be placed between the organic light-emitting diode (D2) and the first substrate (402).

[0454] Additionally, a color conversion layer (not shown) may be provided between the organic light-emitting diode (D2) and the color filter layer (480). The color conversion layer includes a red color conversion layer, a green color conversion layer, and a blue color conversion layer corresponding to each pixel area, and can convert white light emitted from the organic light-emitting diode (D2) into red, green, and blue, respectively.

[0455] As described above, white light emitted from the organic light-emitting diode (D2) passes through the red color filter (482), green color filter (484), and blue color filter (486) corresponding to the red pixel area (RP), green pixel area (GP), and blue pixel area (BP), respectively, thereby displaying red, green, and blue light in the red pixel (RP), green pixel (GP), and blue pixel (BP).

[0456] FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting diode in the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

Additionally, the first light-emitting unit (630) may further include a hole injection layer (640) below the first hole transport layer (650).

Additionally, the second light-emitting unit (730) may further include an electron injection layer (780) above the second electron transport layer (770). In this case, the electron injection layer (780) is located between the second electrode (620) and the second electron transport layer (770). Additionally, the second light-emitting unit (730) may further include at least one of a second electron blocking layer (upper electron blocking layer, 755) located between the second hole transport layer (750) and the second light-emitting material layer (760), and a second hole blocking layer (upper hole blocking layer, 775) located between the second light-emitting material layer (760) and the second electron transport layer (770).

[0461] At this time, one of the first light-emitting material layer (660) and the second light-emitting material layer (760) may include an organometallic compound of the present invention and emit green (G) light. For example, the second light-emitting material layer (760) may include an organometallic compound of the present invention. In this case, the first light-emitting material layer (660) may emit red (R) light and / or blue (B) light. Thus, the organic light-emitting diode (600) can emit white (W) light.

[0462] A charge generation layer (CGL; 690) is located between the first light-emitting unit (630) and the second light-emitting unit (730). The charge generation layer (690) includes an N-type charge generation layer (N-CGL, 710) located adjacent to the first light-emitting unit (630) and a P-type charge generation layer (P-CGL, 720) located adjacent to the second light-emitting unit (730). The N-type charge generation layer (710) injects electrons into the first light-emitting unit (630), and the P-type charge generation layer (720) injects holes into the second light-emitting unit (730).

[0463] The second light-emitting material layer (760) comprises a first host (not shown) and a first dopant (766), and the first dopant (766) is an organometallic compound of the present invention.

[0464] The first dopant (762) may be doped into the second light-emitting material layer (760) in a ratio of 1 to 20 weight%, preferably 1 to 10 weight%. For example, the second light-emitting material layer (760) may have a thickness of 10 to 100 nm, preferably 20 to 50 nm.

[0465] The first light-emitting material layer (660) may be a blue (B) and / or red (R) light-emitting material layer. For example, the first light-emitting material layer (660) may include a blue light-emitting material layer and a red light-emitting material layer.
